Raleigh, Dec. 10. —There is a con tinued upward trend in the banking business and in all business in North Carolina, as reflected in the last con solidated statement of the 263 State banks, according to Commissioner of Banks Gurney P. Hood, who today made public the results of the No vember 1 bank call, showing total re sources of these State banks as a mounting to $313,109,115, whieir is an increase of $52,971,723 over the total as shown in the consolidated state ment of October 14, 1934. These figures do not include statis tics from the 44 national banks in the State or for the 33 industrial banks, although the records for »nc indus trial banks are given separately. The most recant figures oil the resources of national banks are thosfc of June 29, 1935, But if the figures for the national banks were known, the total combined deposits of Stale and na tional banks as of November 1 would at least amount to $360,000,000 and the combined resources to at least $400,- 000,000, Commissioner Hood estimated. “If the resources of the State banks in North Carolina continue to in crease this coming year as they did last year, they should equal, if not exceed the all-time high of 1929, when the consolidated bank statement of that year showed resources of $341,- 182,163.” Commissioner Hood said. "I cannot understand how any of the banks or bankers can complain about business conditions in the State this year, since they are the best since 1929, and, to my way of thinking, get ting better all the time.

EXTRA SESSION OF ASSEMBLY STARTS Johnston Announces he Will Support $3 Auto License Bill; - §enate Moves to Thwart : Governor’s Pro gram and Passage of Meas ures Is Expected. Columbia. S. C., Dec. 10.—(AP) Four resolutions calling upon the leg islature to withhold action until Gov ernor Olin Johnston suspends military control of the State highway depart ment were introduced today at a spe cial legislative session the governor called to enact the highway adminis tration laws. Objection blocked the consideration of the measures until tomorrow, hut. the sponsors said they were confident they would be adopted despite the strong plea of the governor for quick action to set up a temporary highway administration and provide for pop lar election of a new commission next fall to succeed one ousted. A bill by the youthful Representa tive Mozingo, of Darlington, which the governor told the assembly he ad vocated, was introduced after his ad dress, with three others, to set up a h’ghway hoard. The governor said he was planning to support a 3 auto tag bill, involv ing reductions of 50 percent and more in present license fees, One was be ing prepared for presentation tomor row. The resolutions provided that the governor be urged to recognize the present highway executives, and in two instances called for audits of the department during the period of mili tary occupation of the commission. There was a prospect that Senate action might block joint legislation by the passage of somewhat similar resolutions there, regardless of the outcome in the House, with its larger proportion of Johnston adherents.

Hoffman of New Jersey has .definitely committed himself to a vigorous fight to save the life of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted slayer of the Lindbergh ha hy. The Journal quoted “highest cources” for its, statement that the governor has definitely made up his mind about Bruilo that he will seek to snatch him frftm the shadow of the electric chair, evfcui in the teeth of a contrary vote by the hoard of pard ons. The disclosure, the Journal said, "threatened one of the greatest poli tical upheavals in New Jersey’s his tory.” “You can’t help being sorry for the inoccnt victim of such a tragedy as thcHaupt niann case,” the Journal quoted Mrs. Lily Hoffman, the gover nor’s wife, as saying. FRANCE’S PLIGHT IN ITALY’S FAVOR Fascist Regime Looms As Possibility if Crisis Comes in France. By LESLIE EKTIEL New York, Dec. 10—-The economic and political situation in France con tinues to favor Italy. France is find ing that sanctions i. c., boycott of trade with Italy is adding to its des perate financial plight. Furthermore, there is at present no stable government in France. The Socialists, the Communists and the Liberals are joined in a. battle to the death with (he Fascists, who under the title of the Croix-de-Feu, or Fiery Cross, are seeking to gain control of the government. The Laval cabinet sits perilously in between. The Croix-de-Feu is a war veterans’ organization which lias developed in to a highly emotional political move ment. (Indeed, the French situation sounds as if it were taken from Sin clair Lewis’ widely discussed new Jjook, “It. Can’t Happen Here,” which tells what could happen in the Unit ed States if Fascists gained control.) DEFLATION? Deflation, which the French monied interests demanded to save the coun try from an on rushing depression, and which the Laval government adopted, has not aided the nation. Hardships have been more intense. Thus, the French people (prover bially tight-fisted) now are beginning to demand some spending, as in Eng land and the United States. Economists, of course, are saying that neither spending (a form of in flation) nor deflation will aid per manently. They assert that only the resumption of free Interchange of trade among nations will keep wheels moving. It is to be noted that a large part 'Continued on para Five' PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. "Like any woman, I sympathize with his wife and little son.

GOVERNOR HOFFMAN DENIES NEW YORK PAPER’S REPORT Trenton, N. J., Dec. 10—(AP)—Gov ernor Harold G.

Wallace Declares Agriculture Is To «Benefit From Pact Chicago, Dec. 10. —(AP) —Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace of fered his “considered judgment” to day that American agriculture’s gains from the Canadian reciprocal trade treaty “so far outweighs losses that the net advantage to our agriculture as a whole is very much worth while.” He welcomed constructive criticism in an address prepared for delivery at the 17th annual American Farm Bureau Federation convention, but de clared “the other kind of attack— venomous kind-- is not inspired by any desire to help the farmers of this country. I believe that such unbridled assaults are inspired rather by the same interests which have fought every attempt by the farmers to gain economic fair play.” The agreement, he said, “attempts to undo the terrific damage done by the Smoot Hawley tariff act.” 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY mill France and Japan to Block Elimination of Subma rines as an Instrument Os War. JAPANESE TO PRESS EQUALITY DEMANDS Only That Nation Fails To Greet With Enthusiasm American Proposal for 20 Percent Slash in Navies; No Progress Made Toward Meeting Jap Demands. London, Dec. 10 (AP)—Delegates of the world’s greatest, sea powers sited tneir frock coats and high hats today and settled down to real business In the international naval conference, beginning secret discussions in an at tempt to break their apparent dead lock . Informed sources expected the Brit ish to make (lie first, move toward an agreement to replace expiring Wash ington and London naval limitations treaties and to prevent a world naval construction race. If was believed (lie British either would give a more detailed state ment of their views or would present their full proposals for a definite re duction in sea armament. The reaction to the British sugges tions or plans probably will deter mine whether total tonnage of fleet submarine restrictions, limitation in tlie types and dizes of ships and guns or some other subject will be the first to receive consideration. Strong opposition by Japan and Prance was expected to make aboli tion of the submarine impossible, but every indication was that a separate agreement outlawing undcstricted sub marine warfare would be one of the first concrete accomplishments of the conference. Out of the formal opening of the conference yesterday and ensuing statements by the delegations, how ever, there emerged today no indica tion of progress toward meeting Ja pan's demands for parity, or equal ity. with the United States and Great Britain in total fleet tonnage—-the vital question confronting the confer ence. A favorable reception, surprisingly so to informed naval sources, camo from all quarters except the Japa* nose to the American proposal for a twenty percent reduction in navies. New Moves For African Peace Seen Hard Bayonet Fight i n g on Northern Front in Ethiopia is Reported to Rome. (By The Associated I’ress) Armies oT Italy and Ethiopia en gaged in desultory fighting today, while the possibility cropped up of another gesture by the League of Na tions toward peace as a concession to Premier Mussolini. Both at Geneva and Paris it was in dicated the 'scheduled meeting of the Beague sanctions committee of 18. called for Thursday to discuss an oil embargo against Italy, would ba post poqed. Fcace efforts at Paris, however, given a. philip by the conversations between Premier Pierre Laval and Sir Samuel Hoare, the British for eign secretary, appeared to be stale mated temporarily by modifications. At the war front hard bayonet fight ing was reported to Rome by Italy’s northern forces. War correspondents advised their publications in the Ita lian Capital that both Marshal Bag 'dolio and General Graziani, com manders on the northern and south ern fronts, foresaw possibilities of more serious fighting soon. The Ethiopian government announc ed Ras Seyoum’s armies on the north ern front won two engagements last week, scattering Italian encampments at Kalhabile December 2, and at Man ager the next day.
