WILL PUSH ON FOR GOALS OF NEW DEAL Commerce Body Sees Elec tion as Warning Against Reforms ICKES STlirTALKING POSSIBLE 3RD TERM By HARRY WILSON SHARPE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. (UP) —Apparently unperturbed by the sharp Republican gains in Tues day's elections, President Roose velt yesterday said he would con tinue to fight for New Deal objec tives even though the next con gress opposes him. It was his first comment on the election which swept many New Deal stalwarts into the discard and raised the Republican party to a place of power in both the house and senate. Mr. Roosevelt said at his press conference, however, that he sees no threat to a continuation of liberal govern ment nor does he invisage a coal ition of Republicans and conser vative Democrats arising to cir cumvent him. A widely divergent note was sounded by the chamber of com merce of the United States which voices the seniments of big busi ness. In its weekly review of na tional business affairs, it inter preted the results at the polls as a mandate to the administration to go slow in initiating new ex periments and reforms. "Business takes heart in the prospect that the incoming con gress, reflecting the trends of I elections returns, will be more concerned with promoting real re covery and re-employment than with initiating new experiments and reforms," it said. "The go slow signal given by the voters is reassuring to business. Ignoring ! party labels, the voters have sig nified a desire for a more realistic i and deliberate approach to na tional problems. j "This implies that ill-advised and hastily-drawn legisation ad versely affecting business will en counter closer scrutiny and face stiffer resistance in a congress in which the balance of power is (Continued on page four) GOLF COURSE WPA PROJECT SOUGHT HERE Application for Work to Cost $25,372 Sent to District Office Mayor A.

Brevard started rolling early in ! the first period and drove 91; yards, mainly on power plays to I score early in the second quarter. With Ashworth gaining consistent ly the visitors pushed the Cats' 11 i yard line where they were stopped i for three plays but Teague passed ; to Ashworth on the 1-yard line j j and Ashworth went over on the first running play. A pass for the extra point missed fire. The Cats came back with a rush ! to tie the score. After the kick off Quarles quick-kicked to the, Brevard 30-yard line where Bates! dropped Teague in his tracks. Two running1 plays lost 8 yards for Brevard and Teague punted to the Cat 45-yard line where Quarles took the kick, started to the1 right and reversed the ball to Bert Miller who took out down the left; side of the field and crossed the goal line on his 55-yard jaunt without being touched. The entire Brevard team was pulled to the right and the Cats blocked out every possible tackier as Miller' easily outdistanced the field. The try for point was blocked and Quarles picked up the ball and tried to run it over but missed I by inches. Brevard scored again in the sec-1 ond period after Ashworth had in tercepted a pass on the 45-yard line and run to the Cats' 19-yard line where Quarles stopped him. Again the Brevard running attack was stopped but a pass to Ash worth netted a first down and Ash j worth went over. The try for 1 point was no good. Shortly after the third period 'opened Teague punted to the Hendersonville 22-yard line and Quarles returned to the 29. Mc i Crary and Quarles picked up a 1 first down. A penalty set the Cats back but Quarles passed to McCrary and added a first down and then passed to Drake and Mc : Crary for another on the 29-yard i line. A running pass to Drake over the goal line brought the second touchdown and the extra point failed to bring the score to 12-all. With both teams trying to score Ashworth produced the last Bre vard threat with a 35-yard run to the Cat 25 and Brevard pushed I on down to the Cat 12-yard line but three running plays failed to gain, a pass grounded to the end zone and the locals took over on their own 20-yard line. The Brevard team was practi cally out on its feet and Quarles opened with a slashing ground at ' (Continued on page four) Ex-National Legion Chap Jain Addresses Armistice Day Meeting democracy ha* never been so threatened in the history ot the world as it is today, Rev. John Inzer, pastor of the First Baptist church, of Asheville, and first na tional chaplain of the American Legion, told a capacity audience at the high school auditorium yes terday morning:. /The occasion was the annual pa triotic service of the Hubert M.

There cannot be such contrary winds as democracy, communism, fajc'sm and nazism without a storm, he said. He expressed the opinion that the Munich peace pact merely postponed trouble in Europe, and h<4 also expressed the opinion that war in Europe was inevitable. "The blow is on," he said, "and will continue until it blows itselt out. The need of America is to arouse, not to be taken by sur prise, and to weather the storm so that when it is over there will be something left in America for world civilization. is too late, unless God helps 'Ifsi t<V straighten things out in fi'urope, but we must be prepared to keep out o£ it. "America needs a revival of moral and spiritual things. We must return tb a sane standard or we are doomed. We need a re vival of democracy, a standing for freedom of thought. We have it now but how long will it continue when the commonplace things of our life arc already denied in many countries. "It might happen here. We must stop saying that democracy will save itself. "We do not love this country enough; we are forgetful of the price paid for our freedom; we forget what it means to be denied freedom. "We have said things will be all right tomorrow. They will not when thousands of people are at work, seeking to undermine the American system. "We must find an answer to those who say that American lib erty gives them the right to seek to overthrow democracy, while ad mitting at the same time that the system they would establish in its place would deny the same right.

Chadwick, national commander of the American leg ion, in a radio address from Ar lington cemetery, recommended immediate enactment of a univer sal service law for conscription of both labor and capital in event of war.

Free man, speaking at the tomb of the war-time President Woodrow Wil son, said that "in a world of mag nified armies and navies there can be no continuing security and peace," and declared that the United States "must be challeng ed to recognize here incomparable place as the mediator and recon ciler and highly consecrated ad vocate of peace in a war-madden ed world." Pershing making his first for mal statement since recovry from a recent serious illness, said that the United States would continue efforts to limit armaments by in ternational agreement but warned that until there is a change of heart in other parts of the world, this country must go the limit in preparing for war.

Nov. 12. (UP)—Thw Nazi government today issued :■ series of drastic decrets designe d to drive Jews from German ness and economic life, and it also imposed on them a mass fine of one billion marks or $408,000 for the murder in Paris of Ernest von Rath, third secretary to the Pari* embassy by a young Polish Jew. A Nazi decree earlier today for bade Jew6 to attend theaters, con certs, lectures, motion pit-turn shows, dance recitals and muse ums. It was one of the series «£ decrees designed to provide a final solution of the Jewish piobleiu as a result of the fatal shooting of Rath. Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbel's de cree prescribed that violators of the ban, either Jews or proprie tors who admitted them, would be subject to heavy fines. Goebbels said Jews would have ample op portunity to develop a cultural life of their own within their own com munity. A foreign source said that it is unlikely that Jewish stores wreck ed in anti-Nazi outbreaks would be reopened pending establishment of Ghettos or segregated areas for Jews. Unofficial estimates place the number of Jews arrested in Berlin as high as 8,000 but officials said it was 1,600. AntJ-SerfkiHc action in Germany t£ns turned from a reign of terror to the work of Nazi legal experts, ordered to devise rteur Tepressive measures of unprecedented sever ity and probably along the lines of medieval Ghetto laws. Dr. Goebbels, propaganda min ister, defending the vengeance wreaked on Jews throughout Ihe Reich as a spontaneous, popular uprising without official guidance, warned Jews abroad that a worse fate might befall their racial brothers in Germany if foreign Jews agitate against Germany. „ POSTMASTERS HERE TONIGHT Congressman Weaver Will Be Speaker; Many Are Expected United States Congressman Zc bulon Weaver is expected to he the principal speaker at the dis trict quarterly meeting of the postmasters who will gather in session at the Hendersonville Inn from throughout the congression al district tonight at 7:30 o'clock.
