London, March 27.—Prime Minist
er Ramsey MacDonald emphatically
assured the House of Commons today
that the Treaty of Versailles was
still in force, despite Germany’s Con
scription order. "It is a misappre
hension to suppose any action taken
unilaterally by the German govern
ment or any other government will
have the effect of denouncing the
treaty in the usually accepted sense
of the term.”
New York, March 27.—Rumors that
the Belcher case,, regarded as the
government’s strongest test involving
the constitutionality of the N. R. A.
and all new deal legislation would
be dropped, were confirmed today.
Government lawyers, who were per
paring the case were represented as
"heartbroken."
Raleigh, March 27.—The legisla
ture today ratified into law a bill
legalizing beer and malt beverages
containing 5 per cent alcoholic con
tent in North Carolina.
Washington, D. C., March 27.—
Rexford Guy Tugwell, Under-secre
tary of Agriculture, is virtually as
sured of what may become the most
important administrative position in
the new.relief work organization, it
developed today when it became
known that President Roosevelt plan
ned to place under his control the
whole land use (program, including
rural rehabilitation, soil erosion work,
sub-marginal land activities and per
haps the Mississippi Valley develop
ment.
Berlin, Germany, March 25.—The
eyes of the world turned toward a
Berlin where four powerful men
from as many nations met in dis
cussion of dealing with the German
arms crisis. The men participating
were Sir John Simon, British foreign
secretary; Captain Anthony Eden,
lord privy seal of Great Britain;
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval, of
France, and Under-Secretary of the
state Fulvio Survich, of Italy.
Shelby, March 25.—People in

Concord, Mass., March 26.—Gold
leaf valued at more than $500 was
stolen from the towering steeple and
the four clock faces of the historic
First Parish Unitarian church. A
man called upon a committee with
the plausible tale that he had been
sent by his firm to inspect the leaf
and report its condition. He examin
ed the steeple and advised the com
mittee that the job was standing up
well, but that a fussy patching job
was needed at one spot. He was
told to do the job and the next week
spent several days puttering about
the steeple. He went off without
reporting to the committee, and when
they asked the company for a bill the
theft was revealed. Investigation
showed that gold paint, already turn
ing a grayish green, had been sub
stituted for the gold leaf.
London, March 27.—A report from
London relates how Victor Joorado,
a London lapidary and antique deal
er possesses the secret of making
synthetic diamonds. An old man,
saya Jourado, who is guarded day
and night, is turning out brilliants
under the very noses of the diamond
magnates and their syndicates that
they cannot distinguish from real.
Mr. Jourado told a reporter of how
a dealer approached him with the
synthetic stone with which he "cut
the glass window like butter,” Joura
do then bought the exclusive rights
for the world which will turn out
imitations of L 100.00 diamonds for
L 16.00. It is further stated in the
report that jewelers feel no love
for the old man who possesses the
secret nor more for the purchaser
of the world rights.
Pittsburgh, Pa., March 26.—It was
decided Monday that after hearing
all local witnesses in the Andrew
Mellon income tax hearing case, to
move the case to New York, then
possibly to Washington, to complete
the taking of testimony. Robert H.
Jackson, chief government counsel,
warns formally all business men in
clined to abuse the privileges the
law accords them.

Asheboro Rotarians
Will Sponsor Play
For Crippled Children
Play, "The World’s All Right,*’
WiD Be Presented April 8th
And 9th At Capitol.
The Asheboro Rotary Club will
sponsor a musical show, “The World s
(All Right” which is today going into
rehearsal among the talented actors
of the town. The reason for pre
senting this show is to raise funds
for the furtherance of the work
among crippled children of Randolph
started by the Rotarians some mon
ths ago. Several children are now
having treatment and braces and
funds to carry on this splendid work
are necessary.
The club, therefore, decided to
combine business and pleasure and
stage this charming musical show
for the pleasure of the public and
for the profit of crippled children.
The show is built around a elever
plot revealing the troubles of a radio
station announcer and how his dumb
office boy led him through the deep
waters.
Many well known citizens are
taking part in this show. The cast
includes Red Underwood, Bobby Gene
Truesdale, Sidney Truesdale, E. 0.
Scheafer, Elwood Rheim, Guy Pur
vis, Tom Truesdale, Russell Parks
and others who will be announced
later. The play will be presented at

Advisory Board Adds Mrs. I.
F. Craven, Of Ramseur, As
7th Member Of Group.
Naming C. C. Cranford as chair
man and member from the Randolph
unit to serve on the district advisory
board, the Randolph advisory board
met Friday, March 22, with Mrs.
Drake, head of case workers, in
charge. A seventh member of the
advisory board, Mrs. Fletcher Crav
en, of Ramseur, was named. At this
meeting the Medical advisory board,
composed of D. B. McCrary, Dr.
Gregg and Dempsey Barnes, was
appointed.
The advisory board was named
several days ago and is composed
of the following, who represent vari
ous sections of the county; C. C.
Cranford, Asheboro, H. L. Ragan,
Xrchdale; Ernest Kearns, Asheboro,
route 2, Dr. C. D. Kistler, Randle
man; Herman Cranford, Asheboro,
Russell Parks, Asheboro, and the new
member, Mrs. Fletcher Craven of
Ramseur.
The purpose of the board is to
act as an intermediary between of
ficers and the community, enabling
the workers to serve the communi
ties’ needs in a more efficient man
ner.
This district is composed of Ran
dolph, Guilford, and Rockingham
counties.
Relief families in Randolph have
received 33 mules and eight mares
to date. The distribution of these
animals is to aid families who have
been receiving direct relief funds
to help themselves. It is now pos
sible for Mrs. Drake’s office to dis
pense commodities to the county wel
fare office. Canned milk, hamburger,
soup and canned kraut are among
the items listed. This fool will ma
terially aid the county work that
threw 75 destitute families directly
on the county with no provisions for
their support.
This work will necessarily come
under the county budget later but
at the present, there are no pro
visions for its financing.
Recently a sewing room was open
ed in Randleman employing ten wo
men and haying Mrs. Ralph B. Rus
sell in charge. Mrs. Grady Ridge is in
charge of the Asheboro sewing room
with thirteen other women employed.
Plans are on foot to open others
