HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-SECOND YEAR Italy Faces United Front Os League Members Against Her Offensive In Ethiopia TO PRESS PROGIMM DESPITE_ PROTESTS Premier Laval Places France Alongside Britain and Smaller Nations In League SANCTIONS PLANNED IF WAR BREAKS OUT France Appears of Mind To Impose Economic and Fi nancial Barriers, But Will Not Intervene In Military Way; More Italian Troops Go To Africa (By the Associated Press.) Italy faced a front of League of Na tions members sworn to uphold their covenant against war today, follow, ing a declaration by Premier Laval of France that his nation would not evade League obligations. A government spokesman in Rome immediately commented that Laval’s speech was “neither favorable nor un favorable, and certain not to change Italy’s mind or line of action. ’’ In London, however, his statement wa welcomed as a pledge that France would back up Great Britain in the latter nation’s opposition to war between Italy and Ethiopia. France’s solidarity with the League of Nations covenant and a swing in the French policy to the attitude that financial and economic sanctions are necessary in case Italy attacks Ethi opia were indicated in Paris and Geneva. Premier Laval of France demanded the enforcement of the League cove, nant in a speech before the League Assembly and French officials in Paris interpreted his remarks as meaning- the French nation would im pose economical and financial —but not military—sanctions against the aggressor nation in the event of an Italo-Ethiopian war. While the League met to preserve peace, Italy continued troop move ment toward East Africa, and Em peror Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, as a precaution, ordered the mobiliza tion of 75 per cent of all government employees.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1935 APPROVED Little Protests Over New Schedules School Com mission Ordered Dally Dispatch, flnrena. In the Sir Waiter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, Sept. 13.—1 n spite of vig orous protests from Wjake county school patrons andy/from a few in some other counties, the re-routing of school bus lines in strict conformance with the 1935 laws, which gives the State * Sdhoall cjornplefye authority to designate routes, in meeting with wide-spread approval, Claude F. Gaddy, director of trans portation for the Stae School Com mission, said today. For the re.rout ing of the school buses will not only save the commission more than SIOO,- 000 a year in the operation, but will put every school child in the State on the same basis, Gaddy pointed out. The reason the school patrons in Wake county are objecting is that in the past no effect has been made to conform to the law which requires that children living within less than a mile of a bus line must walk to the bus, or which requires them to walk to school if they live within a mile and a half of the school. The result was that school buses were operated to the front doors of vir tually all children in the rural schools even if they lived only half a mile off the main buss route or within a quarter of a mile of the chool, de spite the fact that until this year the law stipulated that only those chil dren who lived more than two mile? from the school or more than a mile and a half from the bus line, should be entitled to transportation. But the Wake county situation was not different from many ohter coun ties, where the pressure of local po litics was so great on county boards of education and on county superin (Continued on Page Six.)

EHRINGHAUS WAITS WALLACE’S ANSWER ON TOBACCO PIES Governor Appeals To Agri culture Head To Do Some thing Quickly To Help Farmers THINKS LOW PRICES ARE NOT JUSTIFIED Reminds Wallace That Tar Heels Warned Him Last Spring Parity Level Was Set Too Low, But That Even That Is Not Being Paid by the Tobacco Buy ers 11 Raleigh, Sept. 13—(AP) —Governor Ehringhaus, who two years ago inau gurated the “tobacco holiday” move ment in the southeast today awaited a reply from Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace to his appeal to take steps to relieve the depressed condition of the tobacco market. The governor appealed to Wallace after a group of irate farmers from Wendell held a protest meeting in the hall of the House of Representatives here yesterday and charged that Sec ertary Wallace was instrumental in bringing about the condition of the tobacco market. Governor Ehringhaus, in a telegram to Wallace last night, asserted the entire flue-cured tobacco program was in jeopardy because of prevail ing low prices, and recalled that “many of us felt that the depart, ment’s suggested parity of 21 or 22 cents was too low.” The governor said that prices haa fallen far below 21 or 22 cents parity and to approximately 15 to 16 cents. These prices, he asserted, could not be accounted for by weather condi tions, since even best grades were bringing disappointing prices. The governor said he had advised growers to withhold their tobacco from the market as much as possible pending a hoped-for price recovery. J. B. Hutson, director of the tobac co division of Ad justment Administration, conferred v.*ith the North Carolina Advisory Committee on the tobacco price sit uation yesterday. The committee decided that present weather conditions were causing a de terioration in the quality of tobacco now being offered, and that huge of ferings were blocking sales and caus ing the opinion to prevail that the crop is larger than it will eventually turn out to be. Meanwhile, the State Department of Agriculture reported that the a\- erage price on the 22 North Caroling markets opened last month was 21.26 cents a pound, compared with an av erage of 25.79 cents in the same pe_ riod last year. The growers sold 52,106,822 pounds last month and 56,062,948 pounds in August, 1934. Will Make Arrests In Accidents lm the Sir Walter Hotel. Dally Dispatch Bareaa, AY J. C. BASK (Sit VIL Li.

Roosevelt “Breathing Spell” Manifesto Was Sop to Both Sides SPECULATING ON LONG j i Progressives Liked His “Prosecutinfg” But Not His Methods; Huey * Was Personality Rather Than Great Issue By CHARLES P. STEWART Washington, Sept. 13. Neither Democratic nor Republican politi cians are at all sure yet how Presi dent Roosevelt’s “breathing spell” manifesto will “take” throughout the country. However, they do believe that it gives an advance idea of the kind of re-election campaign that they pre sume he already has mapped out for himself. Their guess is that he thinks his policies thus far have so consolidated liberals behind him as to make sure that they will stick, and that he proposes now to placate conservatism with his “breathing spell,” thus pre venting his following from splitting either way—to the left or to the right INDEPENDENT’S FEARED Democratic politicians assert and Republican politicians Confidentially admit the practical certainty of a Rooseveltian victory (doubtless by a reduced majority) in a clean-cut fight between Democrats and Republicans next year. What Republican politicians have hoped for and Democratic politicians confidentially have feared is the development of an independent party movement one way or the other or even both ways (a progressive bolt from the New Deal in one direction; a constitutional Democratic bolt in the opposite direction). In such a jumble who can say that a Republican presidential candidate might not win by a plurality?—not a majority. “VACCINATING”? The White House tenant is seen by political diagnosticians - as trying to vaccinate against this peril. Even Republicans are none too con fident that the vaccine won’t work. They charge that the President speaks only in generalities—America is a great country; recovery has set in; we’re just about to cash in on the benefits of the New Deal. But they have to confess that he (Continued on Page Two.) Edenton Slayer Condemned To Die By Gas on Dec. 6 Edenton, 'Sept. 13.

Consequently, the lag.” As for his job of putting persons t 0 work in New York, the general asserted: “We have the work laid out —more than in any other place in thfe United States.
