July 2—(AP)—The official press charged today that incidents along the Soviet frontier in the Far East have been provoked deliberately by Japanese militarists to stir Rus sian forces to counter measures, and thus bring on grave complications. A note of protest concerning the whole series of alleged "iolations of Soviet territory by Japanese and Manchukuan troops and gunboats during the last two months was de livered yesterday to Tokyo. "These incidents may be explained only in the sense that there is a de finite plan by Japanese militarists to create complications on the frontier." asserted the communist party organ Pravda. ‘‘The responsibility of these cun ning attacks and invasions of our ter ritory by Japanese troops and murder of our frontier guards—intended to cause serious conflict between the U.

BY .T. C. BASKERVILLi. Raleigh, July 2 —While the General Assembly increased the appropria tion for teachers’ salaries 20 per cent for this year above what it has been for the past two years, the increase was based on the total expended for salaries last year of 513.464.000. As a result only $2,692,800 more will be available, with which to increase sal aries this oming school year, with the result that it will not be sufficient to give every teacher a salary increase of 20 per cent, since this amount does not take into consideration any in crease in salaries due either to bet ter certification or to the increased experience of teachers, Leßoy Martin, secretary of the State School Commis sion pointed out today. As a result, the average increase in teachers sal aries, allowing for the normal increase in the number of teachers, will prob ably not amount to more than 18 per cent. “The School Commission, of course, f ‘ (Continued on Page Five) Hcttitrrsmt Batin Btsmifrh ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. * AS KEYES BROTHERS BROKE RECORD life ; X A! waves greeting Two virtual unknowns wrote their names in aviation history !« spec tacular fashion when A1 and Fred Keys, brothers of Meridian, Miss., shattered the world record for an endurance flight.

Va., July 2 (AF) —An attack on the Flan nagan tobacco grading bill as “a very useless law” was made before 300 member sos the Tobacco Association of the United States here this morn ing by W. T, Clark, of Wilson, N. C.. association president. Compulsory government grading of tobacco offered for sale at warehous es “is a service that will certainly do the buyer no good, and it seems that it is also one that the farmers do not want,” Mr. Clark said in his address to the 35th annual convention. “There has been no sentiment from the farmers asking either for govern ment grading or any other change in the oresent system of marketing, he said,* “and there is surely no feeling on the part of the trade for this serv ice. I think that it would be a very useless thing for the industry as a whole. ” High prices paid farmers for their 1934 crop were blamed by the presi dent so rthe loss of export trade in China, Europe and other foreign coun tries. “We are gratified that those in charge of the tobacco section (of gov ernment' have seen fit to increase the acreage for the coming year from 555,256.264 pounds from the 1934 bright flue-cured crop to an estimated 715,- 000.000 pounds for the 1935 crop.” he said. “The prices for the past year,” he said, “have almost caused the busi r ess of the exporter, particularly those dealers in flue-cured types ,to vanish It is necessary for the producer and for the tobacco trade generally that these world markets be saved, for if thev are once lost they will be doubt ly hard to regain. “The higher prices paid for the past crop have resulted in smaller exports to China, France.
