WAR NEWS
Bern. Switzerland, Oct. 24. ?
(Thursday) ? A proposed new
French-German agreement, giving
the Axis powers air and naval
lases in all France and the French
Empire, but not handing over the
French fleet or involving the
French in war against Britain
was reported tonight to be in
the hands of the Petain govern
ment at Vichy.
Reports from Vichy indicated
that' Marshal Philippe Petain
himself may go to Paris soon to
sign the agreement, which also
would extend the frontier of the
unoacupled zone north to the
Seine.
This would give the Vichy
regime a part' of Paris ? ostensibly
' for the purpose of returning the
< seat of government there.
Naval bases which would fall
to the Axis would include those
at flakar. capital of French West
Africa: Toulon, on the Mediter
ranean coast of continental
France: Casablanca, in Frencho
Morocco; and Bizerts, in Tunisia.
The air bases would include
those in both North Africa and
Syr|a ? strategically located for
a possible drive against Egypt
and t'he Near East. The French
Navy's job would be to defend
those bases against attack by the
British ? as it did at Dakar.
Madrid, Oct. 23.? Adolf Hitler
and Francisco Franco, the rulers
of Germany and of Spain, met
today in the first of a series of
secretive, but obviously moment
ous conferences with the likely
intent of fitting Spain as well as
France into a solid continental
phalanx against Britain.
The first 2 \ss hour meeting was
lii'M this afternoon in a Spanish
railway car at the border be
tween Hendaye. France, and Irun.
Spain, where the Pyrenees fold
greenly down toward the Bay of
Biscay.
The foreign ministers of Ger
many and Spain. Joachim Von
Bibbeutrop and Ramon Serrano
Stiner. sat' in.
From Berlin came a terse com
munique that the conversation
was conducted in "tihe cordial
spirit of comradeship uniting
both nations." but giving no hint
of t'he subject discussed.
From official Spain there was
only a long-withheld announce
ment that a meeting occurred.
Humors and Speculation
The Spanish air. however, was
filled with rumors and specula
tion. **#Y

some partiality shown to curtain
classes of peopte receiving bene
fits from that oftiq^. We respect
fully request that the County
Commissioners make such inves
tigation as it deems proper, with
a view to any changes or im
provetaents which may be advis
able. We also noticed that t-he roof
of the Welfare Office -leaks and
we suggest that this matter also
be investigated:
.7. The financial condition of
(?he pounty was inquired into and
[it was reported to the Grand Jury i
that the finances of the County
are being properly and efficiently
handled.
1 8. We have investigated the I
cond it-ion and management of the j
various schools in the County, !
with particular reference to sani
tation. We find that at the Ed
ward Best School a school cafe- i
terla or' lunchroom :dQes notf have i
screens at the doors and windows.
W^ feel that this condition should
be corrected in the early spring'
of next year, (or the protection of
(?he health of the students and
teachers. We have particularly In
vestigated the matter of school i
buses and find that all the ^chool
buses now being operated are in
good condition, and that' the driv
ers are competent, and that all
the drivers have beeu duly licens
ed by the State of North Carolina
to operate school buses.
?. In accordance wit-h the in
structions of the Court, we have
particularly Investigated the con-i
ditlons of guardians' bonds in the
County, and we are informed by
the Clerk of the Superior Courb
that the situation relative to the
filing of accounts and inventories
is the best' in years. We com
meud the Clerk of the Superior
Court for his diligeuce in the
proper administration of guar
dians' affairs in his office.
Respectfully submitted, this
