KIWANIS HAS DINNER FROLIC Affair for Teachers Has Hallowe'en Air; Ashe villian Is Speaker A Halloween dinner party com bining an address by the Rev. E.

Bennett; a review of Kiwanis club activities this year, and a nail-driving: con test by eighteen women was given at the Skyland hotel last night with Kiwanians, their wives and teachers of the city, Fassifern and Blue Ridge schools and a number of other guests—125 persons in all—attending. Mr. Davis lent a serious note to the gathering with an inspira tional address on the subject, "What Are You Worth?" He dealt with the value of a man's life to himself, his church, his community, the schools, his club and other institutions rather than his worth in money or its equiva lent. H. E. Mitchell, chairman, gave a report on the accomplish ments of the club's underprivileg ed child committee, and C. M. Ogle, club secretary gave a re sume of the activities of other committees. The underprivileged child committee, Mr. Mitchell said, has held five free medical clinics over the county, with 250 exam (Continued on page four) Believe Long To Announce For The Presidency BATON ROUGE, Oct. 26.

Trial and Error Phase of NRA Thing of Past, Richberg Declares NEW YUKA, 'jci. zb. turj—, With the trial and error phase of the NRA a thing- of the past, "the attitude and personnel of the well balanced deliberative body now administering: the act should in spire confidence and invite whole hearted support," Donald Rich berg, director of the national em ergency council, told the Harvard Business School club last night. Speaking in New York's Har vard club, Richberg, in reviewing gains under the recovery act, said that there still are two factors of uncertainty which must be consid ered—lack of confidence of busi ness men in their relations with each other, and lack of confidence of employers in their relations with their employes. "The first uncertainty arises partly out of the. newness of col lective activities tinder codes of • fair competition and partly out of some uncertainty as to public poli cies of code making and enforce ment,'' Richberg said. "we muse recognize tuai mc first phase of NRA was the estab lishment of a provisional govern ment—a trial of industrial self government under public supervi sion. Now in the second phase there is a most conscientious ef fort t oeradicate the inevitable errors of this trial period." The second uncertainty, he said, is due to the many years of con flict between employer and em ploye. "A business competitor might be regarded as a foeman but his right to fight was not usually questioned," Richberg explained. "On the other hand the organiza tion of labor wa? usually resent ed as an unwarranted interference with manegement control of busi ness." He pointed out that capital-lab or relations are on a better basis today than they have been in years, but that employers do not yet feel confident regarding labor relations. PLEA MADE TO RE-ESTABLISH % E. COLLEGE Caldwell Methodists Want Davenport College Operated Again GREENSBORO, Oct. 26. — A lengthy petition filed by Meth odists of Caldwell county, asking revocation of the previous action of the Western North Carolina conference by which Davenport college at Lenoir was closed was expected to bring before that body the question of reopening the college before adjournment of the conference here is taken. The petition was placed with the boar petition was placed with the board of Christian Education but its view of further consideration; of the action by which Lenoir had i been merged last year with Greensboro college has not yet been disclosed. Yesterday's session of the con ference was marked by a mass of business transactions, included; among which was the withdrawal of charges against the Rev. W. A. Newell, pastor of the First Meth odis tchuch at Salisbury. Indica tion that he would face trial by a church court had come the open ing day of the conference when the presiding officer, Bishop Paul B. Kern had barred him from voting the firs'; day in conference procedure. Presiding Elder C. S. Kirkpat rick arose and said that charges had been preferred against Rev. Mr. Newell and investigated by a commitete which had found a trial to be necessary. Rev. J. A. Baldwin, who was tried and convicted of slander against Rev. Mr. Newell at the 1933 conference in Charlotte and was reprimanded by Bishop Ed win Mouzon at the instigation of the church trial jury, was recog nized by Bishop Kern. Reading a prepared statement, Rev. Mr. Baldwin said, "After giving very serious and prayerful consideration to the matter, I de sire on my own motion to request the annual conference to give its permission for me to withdraw my charges against Rev. W. A. Newell." On motion of Dr. W. W. Peele, seconded by the Rev. J. T. Man gum, the conference voted unani mously to allow the minister to withdraw the charges. The con ference then passed upon the character of Rev. Mr. Newell, who j before his present pastorate was ■ presiding elder for the Greens boro district. With routine work proceeding apace the conference today re ceived the announcement of the vote cast Wednesday on the con stitutional question of limiting the length of the terms of presiding elders. The vote was as follows: For, 251; against 167. The question is being submitted to the annual conferences of the church, and the results of the poll will be re ported at the next general con ference. A three-fourths majority vote of the general conference is necessary to pass the measure. Establishment of an advisory commission on general indebted ness of the church was authorized by the conference soon after it began its second day day's ses sion. The commission, which will be appointed by the presiding bishop during the present meet ing, is to consist of seven men, four laymen and three clergymen. Its duties wili be to work with the boards of trustees of various churches to reduce indebtedness| or make plans for refinancing ex isting debts. Wesleyan Revival Makes Progress Midnight Prayer Service Set for Tonight A ' large crowd heard the message last night at the Wesle yan church as the pastor, Rev. M. R. Harvey, delivered a strong ser mon from the text Lev. 6:13 "The fire shall be burning upon the al tar, it shall never go cut." He used as his subject: "Keeping the fire burning." The principal di visions were: Some Alters, Some Fires. How to Keep Them Burn ing, When They Should Burn and the results. The singers are attracting con siderable interest by their duets and chorouses. The revival is tak ing on an encouraging propor tions. The pastor announced last night that there would be a mid-night prayer meeting tonight after the preaching service. Christians are urged to pray especially for the revival. AUTHORITATIVE CIRCLES SEE SMALL CHANCE FOR BONUS PAYMENT BECOMING REALITY House May Vote It, But If Senate Does Quick Veto Will Follow WASHINGTON, Olt. 26. (UP) —Immediate payment of two bil lion dollar soldiers' bonus as de manded by the American Legion was seen today in authoritative circles as having small chance of becoming: a reality. Legionnaires' hopes conflict di rectly with the attitude of the ad ministration which feels that veter ans should take pot-luck with the rest oi' the nation in the recovery drive. Legislative experts predicted that the House may pass the bonus legislation but that the senate probably will not. Even if the senate should do a right-about-face President Roose velt is expected to produce a quick veto. Roosevelt feels that the ex penditure of such a vast sum now would wreck all attempts to bal ance the budget. SOVIET OPENS j LARGE PLANTj Is Built to Produce Needed • Factories; Has 13 Departments KRAMATORSK, U.S.S.R., Oct. 26. (UP)—One of the most im portant parts of the vast indus trial structure being built by the Soviet Union, the Stalin-Krama torsk Machine Building Plant, has ju'st been officially opened here. This plant occupies a funda mental position in Soviet indus try, for here are being built the machines for hundreds of other factories producing everything from lace to locomotives. Its vast ness may be judged from the fact that it has 13 departments, occu pies 400 acres and employs 15,000 workers and 1,377 technicians. OLD MISTAKE AVOIDED When the Soviet regime was ex periencing the first flush of suc cess of building up industry, the mistake was made of opening plants officially long before they were ready to function. Embar rassment often followed. But this mistake was avoided at Krama torsk. Actually this plant began production last year. But offici als waited until it was functioning well in every respect before bring on bands, banners and speeches. The present plant is a nucleus of what will be an even large in dustrial center. When all the fac tories are completed it will manu facture every year; six blast fur naces, 30 open hearth furnaces, three blooming mills, 16 other types of rolling mills, and many other types of heavy machinery. HUGE STEEL FOUNDRY The steel foundry is one of the largest departments of the fac tory. It occupies 25 acres of floor space and has a capacity of 43, 000 tons of castings. This may be compared with a capacity of 25,000 tons of the Ural Machine Building Plant, previously the largest in the Soviet Union, and 24,000 tons for the famous Krupp plant at Essen, Germany. The plant includes two cast iron foundries. One is for casting parts up to 100 tons, the other for smaller castings up to one-half ton. These two factories occupy 39,000 square meters of floor space.

These governments also made representations to the Japanese government on behalf of the Stan dard Oil company, American-own-! ed, and the Asiatic Petroleum Co. jointly owned by British and Dutch ' interests, to circumvent what observers here interpreted as an attempt by Japan to compel foreign oil companies doing busi ness in Japan to finance Japan's fuel oil reserves, whcih may be used for military purposes. The representations were made separately by the diplomatic rep resentatives of the three govern ments. They were in no sense joint representations. Two separate difficulties were involved. The first dealt with the Manchurian situation, caused by organization of a Manchukuo state oil monopoly. This organization, closely affiliated with Japanese oil and financial interests, propos ed to take over all business of dis tributing oil in the former Chi nese provinces wrested from China, and now ruled over by a Japan-supported government. The foreign oil companies con tended this was in fact a closing of the "open door" in China, guar anteed by treaties which Japan repeatedly has declared its inten tion to respect and support.
