BARKER '?C"; 1 Board of Elections Makes Republican State Pri mary Unnecessary Decision of the state board of elect'ons to bar five Republican candidates and one Democratic aspirant to public office bccause notices of their candidacies per sonally signed by them were not received in time, has brought out a statement by W. C. Meekins, of Hendersonville, state Republican chairman, protesting the ruling. Mr. Meekins filed the notices of the Republicans shortly before the deadline. The action at Ra leigh barring these men and one Democrat was taken Saturday. "I cannot help but believe the < board has missed the letter and spirit of the primary law, but the decision is claimed +o be final so far as our rights aro concerned," Meekins declared. "We are urging upon all Re publican county organizations to have two Republicans file with their respective county boards of elections before May 5 for some county office such as coroner or surveyor," Meekins said. "This will force a county Re publican primary and compel the appointment of Republican judges of elections in each precinct for the primary. A Republican judge in the precincts will give some assurance of fairness for all can didates of both parties, many of whom believe the elections ma chinery is being set against them." Two of the five Republican can didates eliminated from tho ballot were seeking congressional seats. They were Mrs. Lucy B. Patter son, Republican nominee for con gress in the 5th district, and E. D.

OPEN SUNDAY PASSES FIRST READING HERE City Council Takes Action After Endorsement by 50 Citizens NONE OF "COMMISSION DEFINITELY LINED UP Hendersonville turned its at tention over the week-end to the definite possibility of having Sun day movies and baseball as the result of action of the boarTl of city commissioners in passing on first reading an ordinance au thorizing these amusements dur ing stated hours. The bill will be given second reading early this week, probably Tuesday afternoon or evening, and may become law before the week is out. Organized opposi tion to the movement, which had its inception directly in enact ment of a similar ordinance in Asheville, had not developed here this morning, but it was indicat ed that vigorous protest will be lodged with council before final ( vote on the ordinance is taken. The Sunday amusement bill ! came before council late Satur- ; day afternoon after a meeting of about 50 citizens at the cay ] hall had adopted a resolution ; favoring the liberalizing of Sun day "blue laws," and had then < presented a petition to" council '< asking that the ordinance be en- : acted. Present at the council • meeting and voting for passage . of the bill on first reading were Commissioners W. M. Sherard, Dr. W. 0. Allen, .T. H. Riggan and B. L. Foster. The fifth com missioner, L. R. Geiger, was not present at the meeting, and he i ha.s not yet announced his atti- I tude toward the ordinance. Mayor A. V. Edwards said to- , day that it clearly was the in tent of the board to pass the ordinance provided it finally ap pears that public sentiment strongly favors such action. While a majority of commissioners are believeJ personally to favor Sun day amusements, none is known to have definitely committed him self on how he will vote on the second and third readings of tho bill. The ordinance, as passed on tho first reading, provides that mo tion pictures may be shown hero between the hours of 1 and 7 o'clock Sunday afternoons and i from 9 to 11 o'clock Sunday ' nights. Baseball would be per mitted Sunday afternoons. < Besides requesting that an or- j finance permitting Sunday amuse ments be passed, the mass meet- ; ing Saturday afternoon author ized Milo W. Strong, chairman, ] to appoint a committee to set up < a plan of organization for a new i group probably to be known as < "Believers in Hendersonville" and < whose objectives would be to pro mote movements believed to be in the best interests of Hender sonville as a resort city. The or- ] ionization would work in closo harmony with the Chamber of Commerce. Report of the com-1 mittee will be made at a called meeting which probably will bo held on Tuesday night of next week. The 50 or more who attended the mass meeting apparently were of one mind on the Question (Continued on page three) of pcace in Asia was believed to day to have been made as a result of commitments by Japan and the Soviet Union. The two nations, as represent ed in conversation here Saturday, exchanged pledges against war and declared they had no inten tion of aggress towr.rd one an other. The expressions, voiced in formally at both Moscow and Tokio in recent harried months, were regarded as peculiarly sig nificant at this time, when rela tions have approached a danger point in Manchuria and Siberia. The conversations took place at the war office in Tokio, when the Soviet ambassador to Japan, Kon stantin Gurenev, called on the war minister, General Senjuro Hayashi, to discuss the dleicate issues growing cut of the Man churian situation. Each was eager to assure the other that war was not part of her national policy at this time, and to scout rumors abroad that a second Kusso-Japanese war on the continent of Asia was becom ing increasingly certain. Ambassador Yurenev declared that the Soviet Union had not the slightest intention of declaring war on anybody, in general, and Japan in particular. General Hayashi was quoted by the Nippon Dempo news agency as expressing: regret over false rumors that Japan planned to in vade Siberia. He declared the reports to be "absolutely false," and spread by persons wishing to cause trouble between Russia and Japan. Hayashi also told the ambassa dor that he regretted it had been necessary for Japan to use force to settle the Manchurian problem in the last two years, but that there apparently had been no other way to solve that problem. The visit by the Soviet envoy to the war office aroused a series of wild rumors in Tokio, observ ers seeking to find the reasons behind the call.

DILLINGER OUT OF NEW TRAP, 4 DIE IN BATTLE Government Mobilizes 12 Men for Capture, Shoots Way Out WASHINGTON, Apr. 23. (UP) John Dillinger and four members Df his gang are definitely identi fied as the gunmen who shot themselves out of a federal trap n northern Wisconsin early to iay.

EAGLE RIVER, Wis., April 1'3.—(UP).—John Dillinger and i half dozen machine gun out laws have escaped from a de partment of justice trap in Lit-.

(UP) The government's most important relief agency—the Reconstruction Finance Corporation—is falling nearly $2,000,000 under budges estimates in its relief activities because of reduced needs. Administration officials attrib uted the decrease to the greater than expected improvement in business activity which has al lowed some borrowers to repay loans and made it unnecessary for other businesses to ask for money. When President Roosevelt com piled his budget figures for the fiscal year which ends June .'50, he set $3,969,740,000 as the out side net expenditures ol the Rl-'C, a monthly average of $32.r»,000, 000. In nine months of the fiscal year the RFC had actually spent only $1,287,354,800, or about 40 cents for every dollar estimated in the budget. Banks and other borrowers an repaying loans at the rate of $3, 000 daily and these payments ar<» expected to reach the billion dol lar mark by June 30, compared with estimates of three-quarter billion dollars. In the first nine months they were $027,330,234. The apparent "surplus" under proposed expenditures has ma-lo the federal government's borrow ing program that much easier and las contributed to the recent steady rise in the government bond markets. The chief factor in the decrease in RFC expenditures has been improvement in the banking field partly as a result of confidence engendered by the Federal De posit Insurance corporation. Bv ARTHUR F, DEGREVE United Pre«» Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 23. (UP) President Roosevelt faces vital tests of strength this week with organized congressional minori ties attempting to force action on inflationary measures, silver legislation and the 30-hour work week. The chief executive s attitude, toward silver failed to satisfy the majority of western senators who reviewed all phases of the prob lem at the White House on Sat urday. n A T,11 u nr It r\ «VI O C* T 1 UCUOVVi JJ1IIIC1 A Okla., summoned 30 senators who are interested in silver and other monetary proposals to meet at 10 a. m. today when Mr. Roose celt's position will be explained and a plan of action adopted. T!ie com mittee which conferred with thu president met and prepared its report and recommendations to the large group. The United Press learned that most of the silver senators still favor mandatory legislation, al though Mr. Roosevelt made it plain at his conference that ho would not consider such action ind preferred instead purely per missive measures. The president told the conferees he wanted to keep a free hand over his mone ary program and that this would >e impossible if congress forced iiim to follow a definite policy on silver. Administration leaders, how ever, were not as concerned ahout the drive for inflation which is gaining momentum in the house. Speaker Henry T. Rainey, Ma jority Leader Joseph Byrns and Dther house leaders discussed the approaching battle during a week end fishing trip in Virginia. The block supporting the McLeod hill, which calls upon the government to redeem deposits in closed banks, has served notice that it will seek to force a vote on tbo measure today. Proponents of the Frazier-l>e mke bill which would authorize, the government to issue green backs to refinance farm mort gages, said they would make a new effort during the week to get sufficient signatures to a pe tition to force the measure out of committee and onto he floor for action. President Roosevelt and his fiscal leaders have thrown their full opposition against both of these proposals. Doubt that the house leaders would be able to throttle jthe in (Continued on page three)
