Double Building
Nearing Finish
-----
John Presnell and G. A. Pat

Place in N. Asheboro.
Among the many new business
buildings of the town is one in
north Asheboro, a double building,
now in process of erection by John
I’resnell and (5. A. Patterson.
The large, modern store building
erected by Mr. Presnell will be oc
cupied by J. H. Hurley who will
operate a grocery store.
The other side is owned and will
be operated by G. A. Patterson as
a piano sales place. It will also

Britain Warns Of
Europe’s Danger;
Hopes For Peace
But “Peace at Any Price”,
Not Acceptable to Eden
And Chamberlain.
_
Both Urge Caution
Germany Pleased as Eden
Asks Avoidance of All
Inciting Talk.
i London.—Great Britain plans
f and is exerting every effort to
maintain peace in Europe. For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden told
the House of Commons yesterday
but warned that the Empire does
not mean “peace at any price.”
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain argued for “cool heads’” and
avoidance of doing or saying any
thing “to precipitate the disaster
everyone wants to avoid.” He lik
ened Europe’s present situation to
that in high mountains where “a
sudden exclamation may start tin
avalanche.”
“If we can exercise patience and
caution and restraint we may yet
be able to save the peace of Eu
rope,” Chamberlain declared. Both
he and Eden contended the situa
tion is not hopeless, that Italy and
Germany may return to full co
operation with the other nations
trying to isolate the Spanish con
flict.
Both, however, expressed the
opinion that Great Britain while
seeking continual, peace would not
agree to conditions dishonorale to
the Empire.
Berlin Pleased
Berlin.—German officials praised
the “conciliatory spirit” of Britisn
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain’s reference to German moder
ation over the Leipzig incident. 1
They awaited the full text of the
address in the House of Commons
before making other comment.
The newspaper Lokal Anzieger
said Chamberlain “acknowledged
the German standpoint in a meas
ure not accorded by a single Eng
lish newspaper nor any declaration
in Commons during the entire
treatment.of the Leipzig affair.
Cannas and Iris
Planted By City
Environs at Municipal Build
ing Enhanced With
Flowers. ,
The city of Asheboro is showing
the way to residents in efforts to
beautify property and building en
vironment. Employees yesterday
set out 450 iris and 200 cannas
plants around the city hall, the
resevoir and lot adjoining the city
hall.
The lot, well lawned, is one of
the most attractive in the city
and now, enhanced with plants
which bear various colored blooms,
will be one of the beauty spots
here.
Tax Evasion-Bahamas Style
Insurance Scheme Disclosed
Washington.—Humdrum Treas
ury tax officials gave the joint con
gressional committee yesterday a
fairy-tale story of an amazing in
surance company, organized under
the palms and amidst the blue wat
ers of the Bahama Islands, at Nas
sau, where it has been giving first
aid treatment to Americans with
uncomfortably high incomes.
The story told of how at least
six comfortably off New Yorker’s
managed to shrink down incomes
which would otherwise have paid
heavy income tax assessments, to
a point where they were microscop
ic, or disappeared altogether, when
they were written upon the prosaic
legal parchment of an income tax
return. But here the magic of the
Bahamas Insurance company ap
peared, for immediately after the
tax return was entered hey presto,
the income of the well-to-do Am
ericans was as large and flourish
ing as it had ever been.
How it Worked
This story of modern tax avoid
ance magic had one sequel which
the happy lawyers who devised it
could not have guessed in advance.
It split the New York law firm of
Hughes, Schurman & Dwight, aqd
a fortnight ago caused the firm to
be dissolved, as Charles Evans
Hughes, Jr., son of the Chief Jus
tice, shook the dust of his feet from
his former associate, Richard E.
Dwight.
Mr. Dwight, it appeared from
testimony droned out today by the
prosaic Treasury lawyers, had been
one of the believers in modern ma
gic. In brief, according to Mason
B. Leming, general assistant to the
chief counsel of the Internal Reve
nue Bureau, who was the principal
witness of the day, Mr. Dwight
took out a $4,000,000 life insurance
at an annual premium of $2,793,

If the smiles they exchanged on greeting are any indication, Beligum’s Premier Paul Van Zeeland and
President Roosevelt, shaking hands so cordially on the White House steps above, should get along famously.
Also gay is the smile of Mrs. Van Zeeland at left, while Col. Edwin Watson, military aide, supports the
President’s arm, grinning broadly. The premier visited Washington, presumably, to discuss economic rela
tions.
Bailey and McKellar Split In
Row Over Farley Appearance
News Flashes
-from
Everywhere
Colin Clive Dead
Hollywood.—Colin Clive, 37, dis
tinguished English actor who was
reported to have earned nearly half
a half million dollars portraying
characters the public wouldn’t like,
died in a hospital here of pulmo
nary disorders.
Heat Wave Broken
Chicago.—Heavy rains and shift
ing winds broke the season’s most
intense heat wave in the Middle
itast yesterday.
Relief came to most of the area
from the Rockies to the Great
Lakes after 21 deaths had been at
tributed to the sultry siege.
War Fears
London.—The British govern
ment and especially its foreign sec
retary, Anthony Eden, are work
ing vigorously to ally Europe’s la
test war scare and to distract at
tention from a convergence of the
powers’ warships towards Spanish
langer zone.
Confederate Memorial
Charlotte.—Officers and direc
tors of the Southern hotel associa
tion, holding its annual convention
here this week, voted to sponsor
and seek the completion of the
Confederate Memorial Stone Moun
tain, near Atlanta, Ga.
policy with the Bahamas company
720, and then got a loan against
this premium that was bigger than
the premium itself, amounting to
$2,832,540.
This transaction was only done,
according to the Treasury charge,
in order to make Mr. Dwight able
to present a deduction for a big in
terest charge item on his income
tax. Under the law, a bona fide
payment of interest is deductible
from one’s income. According to
Treasury estimates Mr. Dwight, in
the four years, 1932, 1933, 1934 and
1935, got a tax reduction of $230,
399.74. His correct inrome, ac
cording to the Treasury was $599,
185 but the income he reported af
ter deductions was only $1,518.
This meant a total four-year tax of
just $299.69. Mr. Dwight, under
pressure of Mr. Hughes, Jr., as it
was divulged today, has made a
compromise offer for full settle
ment with the Treasury of $20,
000 in back taxes, if he can escape
the penalty assessment of 50 per
cent additional.
Others Tried It
Mr. Dwight wasn’t the only be
liever in modern magic of the Ba
hamas variety.
There were others who signed un
with “premiums” in the paper in
surance company at Nassau, a com -
pany manned and officered by lo
cal Bahamans. The coni pa fry’s
name was the Standard Life In
surance company. It was organis
ed in 1931, didn’t hold its first di
rector’s meeting till a year later,
and issued only 10 shares of its
authorized 5000 shares of $10
stock, none of which was paid for.
Nevertheless, it was a legal entity,
and began taking million-dollar
life insurance policies, and making
loans against premiums to wealthy
New Yorkers early in its exist
ence.
North Carolinian Wants To j
Question Postmaster In .
Strike Situation.
Washington, June 26.—Jim Far
ley, postmaster general, was the
wedge that split the ranks of the
Senate Postoffice committee apart
here yesterday. Senator Bailey,
North Carolina and Senator H.
Styles Bridges, (R-N.H.) insisted
that the postmaster general be
called before the committee for
questioning concerning activities of
departmental employes in strike
zones.
The demand was made by Sena
tor Styles and was backed by Bail
ey, who had done most of the
questioning during the hearing
prior to yesterday. Senator Ken
neth McKellar, (D-Tenn.), chair
man of the committee, vigorously
opposed the idea of having Farley!
appear as a witness. The com- j
raittee will vote Monday on the I
proposal.
Another question on which a
sharp split is anticipated was indi-1
cated earlier in the day when Sen- j
ator Bailey and Acting Postmaster j
General W. W. Howes had a sharp j
exchange following Senator Bail- j
ey's statement that there had been
undue delay in the indictment of,
six men who were Thursday ar
rested in Ohio for interference
with the mails since the beginning
of the sieel strike on May 26.
When Senator Bridges made his
demand for the appearance of Post
master General Farley, who is also
chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, on Friday, Mr.
Howes stated that he has been act
ing postmaster general since the
strike started and has handled the
matter in its entirety and was at
the service of the committee for
any questions which members
imght desire to ask.
“Some of the questions 1 wish to
ask Mr. Farley you could not
answer and I do not wish to em
barrass you by asking you others,”
replied Senator Bridges.
Senator McKellar demanded un
successfully that Senator Bridges
state the questions he proposed to
ask, but the New Hampshire Sena
tor declined to do so.
That refusal was regarded by
Senator McKellar as an indication
that the questions are political in
character and he announced that he
would resist the motion.
Senator Bailey placed his support |
of Bridges entirely on the ground
that any member of the committee
was entitled to summon any wit
ness he saw fit and that right ought
to be given to Bridges.
Senator McKellar also joined in
the earlier clash between Senator
Bailey and Acting Postmaster Gen
eral Howes.
Senator Bailey spoke of the delay
in arresting the six men charged
with interfering with the mails,
which brought Mr. Howes to his
feet with a statement that he re
sented the charge that the Post
Office Deparnrent had not done its
full duty promptly.
“I think the Department has
acted properly in every way; it has
not taken sides with either the
company or the strikers and it
ought not to have done so,” declar
ed Senator McKellar.
“1 want to state my views,” said
Senator Bailey. “The first of these
incidents occurred on May 28. The
arrests were not until June 23.
“i do not believe the delay has
inuured to the credit of the Po*4
Office Department or to the bene
fit of the people of the United
States.”

Peace Stressed
In Southern Mills
South Carolina Industrial Ob
servers Anticipate i's'o
Trouble in Mills.
Greenville, S. G\, June 23.—Few
or no sit-down strikes and a com
parative lack of violence are en
visioned by industrial observers
here as the C. I. 0. advances in its
current attempt to unionize textile
labor to the South.
Terming itself the “textile cen
ter of the South,” Greenville and
the surrounding section is a hot
bed of T. W. O. C. activity and or
ganizers, with two mills alretfly
signed up, are expected to begin
negotiations with scores of plants.
A number of mill men are accept
ing the idea of dealing with organ
ized labor as inevitable, T. W. O. C.
workers are recruiting members
on a “we-don’t-want-strikes”
pledge, and except in isolated cases
nothing comparable to the costly
disorders of the 1934 general strike
seems likely.
Whether the C. I. O. drive will
succeed is still a question, but many
believe the moderation of Sidney
Hillman in directing the campaign,
the growing conviction on the part
of manufacturers that to play ball
with John L. Lewis may be the best
way to avert violence and the wide
spread conviction of textile work
ers the government approves of
the C. 1. O., will result eventually
in the first wide-scale unionization
of southern textile labor.
On the other hand many manu
facturers are matching C. I. O.
propaganda with skillful company
propaganda, and picked employees
are “talking down” C. I. O. Union
organizers admit little wage-and
hour dissatisfaction exists in sou
thern mills (initial strategy of
nearly all manufacturers was two
wage increases earlier in the year)
but urge organization as the only
sure way of holding present gains
and point out that if fear of organ
ization already has won much for
the workers they may gain more
by achieving actual unionization.
Mindful that southern textile
workers never have made good
“sticking” union material and that
thousands disapproved the costly
U. T. W. blunders of 1934, C. 1. O.
leaders stress the “conservative”
nature of their campaign, insist
they are working as eagerly as
manufacturers to avert strikes, and
are charging only 50-cent member
ship fees and no dues until “after
recognition.”
At only two mills—one in Ben
nettsville, S. C., the other in Hun
tsville, Ala.—has the T. W. 0. C.
secured recognition (plus a 40
hour week and 12 to 20 per cent
wage increases.) The moment is
arriving however, for the big of
fensive.

Funeral Service at First Meth
odist Church; Burial Local
Cemetery.
Mrs. Mary Jane Lowe, 82, died
Friday evening at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Walter A. Bunch,
after a ten days’ illness following
a fall which broke her hip. Mrs.
Lowe was one of the best known
of the older citizens of Randolph,
a wife of the late Nerius Lowe,
who held several political offices in
Randolph. The Lowe family is or
iginally from the western part of
the county, but Mr. and Mrs. Lowe
moved to Asheboro many years
ago. She was the former Miss
Mary Jane (or Molly) Rush, also a
well known family of Randolph
county.
Mrs. Lowe was unusually active
until the day of her fall and was
one of the county’s most interest
ing women. She had a vast store
of historic information and talked
interestingly of the county “in the
old days” without living in the
past. Her chief interest was in
the present and she took an active
part in church work, always a keen
interest in politics and in the event
of the day.
Funeral service was conducted
at the First Methodist church in
Asheboro Saturday afternoon, to
which Mrs. Lowe was a regular at
tendant. Rev. H. F. Powell, pas
tor of the church, was in charge
of the service. Burial followed
in the Asheboro cemetery.
The following children survive:
Mrs. Walter Bunch of Asheboro,
with who she spent most of' her
time; Mrs. Herman Johnson of Far
mer; Mrs. Kate Lowe Jarvis and
Miss Louella Lowe of Washington,
D. C.; Worth, Jack and Doak Lowe
of Farmer. A large number of
grandchildren survive also.
