CALCUTT RE FUSED PAROLE Governor Rroughton Tuesday denied a pardon or parole (or Joseph Calcutt, formerly the lar gest/ slot machine operator In the world, and Calcutt will begin Friday the service of a twelve months' sentence on the roads1 which was Imposed last Decem ber by Judge R. Hunt Parker in : Wake County Superior Court. The case has attracted wide spread kttent<ion because of the desperate effort made by Calcutt | to avoid the road sentence, al though he has been indicted a score of times for violations of j the slot machine laws and has several times paid large fines. Although Calcutt entered a plea of guilty, he appealed ; from the sentence to the Supreme i Court, which affirmed the road ! sentence but sent back another sentence on a second count, which j was an additional 'term on the! roads to be suspended upon the ? payment of a fine of $10,000 and | performance of eight conditions ' for a new sentence. On the second hearing in Su j perior Court, Judge J. J. Rurney renewed the fine but eliminated (the conditions. Last week, Calcutt' bad a hearing before Paroles Commissioner Edwin Gill at which numerous prominent citi zens of Fayettevtlle and elsewhere ? supported his plea. Governor Rroughton has given, the case unusual attention, per-; sonally perrusing the lengthy re cord and giving a hearing to Cal cutta attorneys.

Those in the boat with 10 sea men and one passenger reached Recife on the Brazilian ship.

Germany has issued an ultimatum lemading sweeping territorial ind economic privileges of Soriet Russia, it was reported by a Brit ish news agency in dispatch from Ankara today, ami the agency idded that other reports said tha Germans already had launched *? ittack. /Reuters. British news agency luoted Martin Agronsky, NBC re presentative in Ankara, as say ing he had It from very reliable diplomatic sources that the Ger man ultimatum is about to ex pire and is being considered in Moscow- while Nazi and Soviet troops mass on the border.

CBS representative In the Turkish capital, unconfirmed re ports that the Nazis had attacked M I !> places, bat correspondents In Londou with diplomatic con tacts said this report had been In circulation for 17 hours with out confirmation from any quar ter in Europe.

Germany gained the signature of Britain's 10-year friendship pact tonight thereby assuring herself that the Turks will stay out of the Reich's haUle with the British. On the other hand, should Ger man-Russian friendship turn into chaniutls of enmity.- Germany can feel free of danger from an inter fering Turkish attack on her EQlllllfii'iL flank-- - Adolf Hitler's .ace diplomat, . Ambassador Franz Von Papen, scored tin nrwlUlllit|itrr signing ~ the pact at Ankara wlfh Turkish Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu which binds each party to respect the other's territorial integrity and to take no direct or indirect* measures uiineU at the other. Xuail V"" Just as Hitler suddenly came to terms witli Soviet Russia on the eve of the war, thus removing I lie possibility of Poland's eastern neighbor's causing trouble then, no Von Pa pen secured the pact which now permits the German army to pursue operations in the Middle Kast without worry of Turkish interference. Authorized sources said they did not' know , however, whether Russia had been told in advance of the 'new friendship between f'.ermanjr and Turkey. Although the pact frees tho 1 Herman army of fear of trouble from Turkey. in event of a push in the Middle Kast authorized sources said it has no bearing on the warfare in jjvria. The Kreuch are taking care of the British there to the satisfac tion of Germany, authorized com mentators said. The treaty also says that noth ing in it impairs the obligation* which either party previously has contracted. (Turkey's mutual assistance treaty hinds Britain to go to Tar key's aid if she Is Invaded. It nlso binds Turkey to fielp Britain in event of war in the Mediter ranean. but so far it has not? been implemented by the Turks. In a second treaty recently reaffirm ed between Turkey and Russia, the Turks agreed not to attack Russia In event the latter is in vaded. I Washington. June 18. ? The United States tonight imposed drastic restrictions on European imigratlon in a far-reaching move directed at aliens who become either willing or unwilling gente for Germany through fear of tor ture of their kin in their home lands.
