The plan would not become effec tive unless ratified by all states par ticipating. John R.

The base was described as located on the Setit river on the northwest border of Ethiopia. The purported victory appeared to be a continuation of a northward thrust by Ethiopian troops, in which Ihe government said 668 Italians had been killed in two previous clashes.

HENDERSON, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 25, 1936 GOVERNOR NOW IN TOUGH SPOT OVER TOBACCOOUTLOOK Extra Session of Legislature Will Be Necessary If Plan Is to Function Properly EHRINGHAUS DOES NOT WANT SESSION McDonald Quick to Express Demand for Extra Legis lature on Tobacco Con tracts; Graham Already on Record in Favor of Meeting; Outlook Gloomy Daily Dispatch Iturcau, la The Sir Walter Hotel, ll,v .? C. lIASKERVILL Raleigh, Feb. 25.—Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus is now occupying one of Ihe hottest spots since he became gov ernor more than three years ago as a result of recent developments with regard to tobacco crop control, ac cording to a good many observers here, who are wondering if his de-: votion to the cause of the tobacco far mers will be strong enough to impel him to call a special session of the General Assembly if it becomes evi dent that nothing but a special ses sion and the enactment of a State wide “Little AAA” law will prove ef fective in reducing tobacco acreage this year. It is agreed that Governor Ehring haus has probably stood by the to bacco farmers and done more for them than any group in the State, also that he was probably more re sponsible for securing a crop control agreement in 1933 and the resulting higher prices paid for tobacco then, than any other one person. It is also agreed that the tobacco farmers have stood back of Governor Ehringhaus stronger than any other group and now compose the largest bloc still re garded as being enthusiastically for hirn. Governor Doesn’t Want It. On the other hand, it is known that the very mention of a special session is distasteful to Governor Ehringhaus and that those close to him have been convinced that an icy surface is like ly to form over the top of those fiery regions known as hades before the governor will call a special session of the General Assembly. But if he is to remain consistent and perpetuate his record with the tobacco farmers, and no other method for controlling to bacco production without a special state law can be devised, a good many here do not see how the governor can afford not to call a special session, regardless of how much he may be (Continued on Page Three.) Floods Are New Menace In The West (By The Associated Press.) Flood waters flowed six to ten feet deep over thousands of acres of Cali fornia farm land today, while four other states watched ice-choked rivers anxiously. North and south of Sacramenta, Cal., rivers swollen by 16 days of con secutive rain drove some 500 persons from their homes. Aviators reported the floods are 100 miles long and from one half to seven miles wide. With long-frozen rivers breaking up guard was maintained in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Nebraska and lowa a gainst ice jams which would send streams out of their banks. Generally, observers reported the snow melted by the midwest sudden warmth was running off in a “gradual thaw.” Heavy rains, however, would threaten serious floods in a dozen states, they said.

The only other decision the New Deal won was the gold clause cases. In this computation the justices are classi fied as conservative, liberal and middle-ground lustration of terrorism in govern ment,” when Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, hurled the charge about Bolles. He coupled it with an assertion that Senator Hastings was instrumental in sending Brigadier General William Mitchell, former air corps chief, “to his grave without re stitution due him.” The debate, springing out of the suspension of Hagood, involved a half dozen senators. Robinson literally stormed out his ; words in heated reply to Hastings. He Troops Sought In Goodyear Strike Akron, Ohio, Feb. 25 (AP) —She- riff James T.

Many cities have re covered, and juicy commissions arc being lost by bond dealers. JESSE WAS CORRECT Wall Street and New York papers roundly denounced Jesse Jones, chair man of the RFC, several months ago when he suggested that the New York Central fund $62,900,000 bank loans, hanging over its head at high interest. The railroad had come to the RFC to gain further extension of its R.FC loans. The extension was granted, regardless. In anger, the N. Y. C. paid off some of its RFC loan, denounced Jones —and continued with the six per cent bank loans, which incidentally, offer juicy income to banks with a plethora of good loans. But today we see New York Cen tral arranging to fund its huge bank debt at not more than four per cent. ANY CURE FOR SAPS?

Members of the United 'States dele gation, asked to confirm this report, refused to discuss it. High navt.l sources described the proposal as one of the most important affecting the United States, Great Bri tain and Germany since the World War. The agreement would limit the sizes and types of ships and guns among the three countries concerned, and would provide for an annual ex change of information on construc tion programs. Word of the Anglo-German-Ameri can proposals came shortly after Italy had injected the ltalo-Ethiopian war question into the naval conference as a fresh barrier to the achievement of a naval limitation treaty. The Italian delegation notified the British, authoriative sources disclos ed, that Premier Mussolini would de cline to accept any new naval agree ment until League of Nations war penalties on Italy were lifted. STATE DEPARTMENT LACKS OFFICIAL ADVICES AS YET Washington, Feb. 25. —(AP) The State Department said today it lacks official advices of London reports that Great Britain has proposed an Anglo-American-German naval agree ment in anticipation of the failure of the four-power naval conference.

Pollard and C. F. Dean, former Angier policemen, did not use a blackjack on F. G. Collins, well-to-do farmer, two days before the man died. The officers were charged with murder in the death of Collins, who died December 27, after being beaten by Pollard on Christmas Eve. Robert Young, town commissioner of Angier, testified he went to the An gier jail on Christmas eve after Col lins had been arrested by Pollard on a charge of being drunk. Young tes tified he found Dean at the door and Pollard inside, and that he saw Pol lard strike Collins two or three times but did not know whether he had any thing in his hand or not. Mayor Roy C. Williams, of Angier, told of being called from his bed by friends, who said they thought Pol (ConUnued on Page Three), ,
