Coan declined to make any pre diction as to the amount of money that will be needed to carry on the enlarged program this winter. But as he is now receiving $860, 000 a month, WPA officials esti mated, unofficially, that he will probably have to have close to $1, 000,000 to carry the anticipated work relief load. , Steel Leads Slump In Market; Prices Down $1 To $9 Rails .loin General Decline As Offering? Swamp Mart; All Divisions Suffer Freight Rates Blamed Investors Contend Federal Boaid’s Decision Cast Shadow Over Market. New York, Oct. 22.—i.P)—The stock market swept into another broad decline today as offered shares swamped traders and forc ed prices down $1 to as much as $0 or more. Railroad and steel issues were the first to feel the selling wave, which, however, soon spread through all divisions of the market. United States Steel, common dropped to a new low le\ el for the year and Un ion Pacific, Louisville and Nash ville, Santa Fe and Southern Paci fic suffered wide losses. Investors’ disappointment with the freight, rate increases granted the carriers yesterday by the In terstate Commerce commission, coupled with the fact the market al ready rad discounted them in high er prices the last few days, was said by l-rokers to have been one of the primary causes of the slump. • Volume, as it has been every day during .he kaleidoscopic week of breaks ana rallies, was heavy, with the ticker tape behind actual trans actions by as much as four minutes at times. Buyers were not plenti ful, and the frequent widespread betweeuofteringand bicUprices cau sed difficulty, at times, in effecting transactions. Announcement that the Intrastate Commerce commission had granted the application of southeastern rail roads for ar increase in passenger coach Cares had little effect upon the carrier shares. Yesterday’s report that freight carloadings had declined more than seasonably last week, and unofficial predictions that the rate of opera tions in steel mills next week would be less than 50 per cent capacity, had their effect on the market in general, biokers said.

(Sunday.)— The great battle north of Shanghai, with possibly the Yangtze delta at stake, today went into its fourth day with no sign of abatement. The Chinese appeared to be un shaken, at least in Chapei, where fighting has continued bitterly and incessantly since Thursday on the very border of Shanghai’s interna tional settlement. Twelve miles to the northwest, the battle surged about key points in the Chinese defenses. A Japanese army spokesman in Peiping, declared Japanese forces southwest of Peiping “very soon” would osgin a major drive to cap ture Taiyuanfu. Shanghai. Oct. 23.—</P)—The great battle for Shanghai swayed madly back and forth in the moon light tonight in small creeks and meandering canals north of Taz ang, 6 miles northwest of Shang hai. Both sides admitted heavy los ses as Japanese fought desperatly to smash Chinese lines and open the way to Nanking. Just as desperatly the Chinese battled to hold Tazang, loss of which would mean loss of Ohapei in Kangwan, their stronghold on the north Shanghai fringe. Both sides tossed heavy rein forcements into the battle. Both sides claimed success.

The President outlined his plans for crop control legisla tion in letters to Chairman Smith, (D-S. C.) chairman of the senate agriculture commit tee and to Jones. “It is, of course, especially important that any new legisla tion should not unbalance the expected balancing of the bud get,” the President wrote. “In oilier words, no addition Methodist Church Delegates Laud Peace; Condemn Liquor Asheville, Oct. 23.—(.VI—Dele gates to the Western North Caro lina conference of the Methodist church, south, today adopted reso lutions applauding the work of the United States government for peace Asheboro Window Shopping Week Begins Tomorrow Night High Point Host To Wallace Wednesday Cabinet Member to Inspect Soil Conservation And Speak at City Lake.

Jack Hayworth Better Jack Hayworth, who has been very ill for several weeks, is now improving in a Richmond hospital where he has been under treatment by Dr. Coleman. A letter yester day from his father, Dr. C. A. Hay worth, indicates that his condition is more satisfactory than it was several days ago. al Federal expenditures from the general fund of the treas ury should be made over and above existing planned expen ditures, the only exception to this would be the incurring of additional obligations on the part of the treasury that would be met 100 percent by addi tional receipt of new taxes. “In other words, whatever goes out must be balanced by amounts coming in.” In making public the Presi dent’s letter, Jones said, “I f«l confident that legislation can be worked out embodying these principles,” he added, he was “hopeful that we may have a bill ready for consideration in the early part of the ses sion.” New Lighting Displays Used By Many Merchants; Dance Closes Gala Affair.

E. Ridge, pastor of Shiloh charge, will preach the sermon this year. Dr. ( Andrews will have charge of the communion service, and he will be assisted by ministers whom he ap points for this purpose. In thi afternoon of the opening day the conference officers are elected'. This is the chief item of interest in the afternoon session. The officers, to be chosen are, presi dent, 'ecretary, treasurer, press representative, statistical secretary, conference historian, custodian of records, lay member of the station ing committee, committee on ap peals, jmd standing district commit tee. The night program of the open ing day will be of a public nature, and will in-a' with phases of confer ence work other than matters of business.

To se cure a more dominant spiritual life for the local church; and 3. To li quidate all church indebtedness. The conference met in the Ashe boro church ten years ago, in No vember, 1927.

The charge having the largest membership is Randolph, with 774 members. Rev. G. L. Reynolds is pastor of this charge.

The jury received the case short ly before 9 o’clock. Gan^s acquittal followed several hours after his younger brother, •Jack, was freed when Judge Charles C. Marshall dismissed the murder charge against him. The third brother, Dr. E. S. Garr, ! was not tried, his case having been continued to the February term. Despite admonition by Circuit Judge Charles C. Marshall, specta tors in the crowded courtroom burst into wild applause when the verdict was announced. Word that a decision had been reached spread rapidly over Shel byville and hundreds of persons started running toward the court house, joining hundreds of specta tors who had remained in the courtroom after completion of the final arguments.

Mrs. E. K. Boone, of Seagrove, j received a telegram about 9:30 j Thursday morning which carried ! the message that her son, Wade, who lives in Richmond, had died suddenly. Much grieved, Mrs. Boone notified relatives that Wade had died suddenly. Six brothers, three sisters-in-law and three sisters came to the home, and Russia Refuses To Yield; Further Aid From Rome Absurd London Diplomats See End Of Plan to Keep Europe From General Conflict Meeting Tuesday II Dace’s Notice Called “Obit uary" to Efforts For General Peace. London, Oct. 2d.—(.1')—A Fascist warning that Italy had made her last concession, coupled with un yielding Russian opposition to the Italian stand, today swept away Europe’s hope of settlement of the problem of foreign intervention in the Spanish civil war. The 68th session of the non-inter vention sub-committee has been called ,‘or Tuesday but it promised nothing but continued disputes be tween representatives of Europe’s great pov. ers. The statement, issued at Rome by the official newspaper, and believed to have been written by II Duce himself, said that “to believe Italy can make further concession on plans of withdrawal of troops from Spain is absurd. The statement was accepted in London diplomatic quarters as a virtual obituary notice for the plan by which Britain had hoped for w^hdrawat'or'tWfflrteers'aiKl am attendant lessening of the danger that the civil war would become i general conflict. The efforts of the non-interven tion na' or.s were considered to have been set back to the point where they were before Italy’s pro posal of what Foreign Secretary Anthony Eaen called “a welcomed contribuiion”to to the problem of getting foreign troops out of Spain. 1 ost Editor Dead Philadelphia, Oct. 23.—l.P>— George Horace Lorimer, editor who guided the development of the Sat urday Evening Post from a small obscure magazine into a gigantic publishing enterprise, was dead to day.

But, and the “But” is a big one —Wade was not dead, in fact, when Mrs. Boone was able to get him on the telepjhone, Wade informed his mother “No, I’m not dead, in fact, I’m very much alive”.
