HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR DUTCH DELEGATE TO LEAGUE INSISTS ON ADHERENCE OF U. S. Wants America and Other Absentees To Lend Co operation to World Organization SANCTIONS AGAINST ITALY END JULY 10 Australian Member Says Only Means of Maintain ing Them Would Be By Military Action, Which No One Wants; Net Results of Sanctions Appraised Geneva, July 2. —(AP) —The Nether lands Foreign Minister A. C. D. D. Graess made an open bid before the League of Nations Assembly today for adherence of the United States and other Geneva absentees. He advocated the elimination of all sanctions from the League’s peace machinery and suggested transforma tion of the covenant into an agree ment of a purely consultive type. His proposal, which created a stir in the Assem Jy chamber, supple mented the idea that the only League s anction which should be maintained was that of automatically expelling anv agressor state. Stanley M. Bruce, of Australia, the tii.t of 15 listed speakers, asserted effective sanctions against Italy would need military action, to which no one want ; to resort. A- -embly circles mentioned July 10 as the date on which the lifting of sanctions would be effective. Lent:ue circles conceded generally the net result of the sanctions crusade launched almost nine months ago to rescue Ethiopia from “Fascist aggres sion" would be: 1. The war penalties will disappear. 2. Italy will remain in Fascist-as serted control of the East Afi ican kingdom. 3 The League will refuse to recog nize Italy’s annexation of Ethiopia.

SOLICITOR GOES 10 SCENE OF ‘RIDERS’ Burney to Make Personal Investigation of Flogging In Columbus Wilmington, July 2.—(AP) —A close lipped district solicitor disclosed to day he planned to leave at once for a) remote section of Columbus county to Investigate the activities of a band of women flogging terrorists. Other than to say he would make a personal trip to the sparsely inhabited section terrorized by the rustic “law and order" band for the past seven months, the prosecutor, Solicitor J. J. Burney, declined further comment. Burney was non-committal when questioned regarding a story in the Star-News containing a confession of a self-styled member of the hooded gang, who, the newspaper says, fur nished the names of other members.

Good Price On Tobacco Is Forecast Smaller Crop Count ed On to Hoist Av erages; 22c to 26c Speculated Dally DlNfiateh Riirpan, In The Sir Walter Hotel, iir j. r. raskervim, Raleigh, July 2.—The decrease in tobacco acreage due to the drought and the consequent reduction in the size of the crop this year, indicates that North Carolina tobacco farmers should get from 22 to 26 cents per pound for their tobacco this fall, ac cording to estimates made here today by experienced tobacco men. This means that the State’s tobacco farm ers have a good chance to receive just as much if not more, for their smal ler crop this year than they received for last year’s crop. The 1935-36 tobacco acreage was 618,000 acres, with a production of (Continued on Pape Four A 125,000 Farmers Signed Under New Soil Program 140,000 Expected to Cooperate Before Doors Are Clos ed; Forms for Applying for Soil Grants Will Be Available Around July 20, Criswell Says College Station, Raleigh, July 2 Approximately 125,000 North Caro lina farmers have signed work sheets to participate in the new farm pro gram, J.

McDonald will get a Majority in 19 counties, with two counties which may go for either Hoey or McDonald, out of the 45 counties east of a line drawn north and south through Durham, a survey made today by this bureau indicates. A survey of the 55 counties west of Durham made by this bureau sev eral days ago indicated that Mr. Hoey would carry 51 and Dr. McDon ald not more than four. So far the State as a whole, these two surveys of the east and west combined indi cate that in the second primary Sat urday Mr. Hoey will get a majority in 77 counties, while Dr. McDonald (Continued on Page Two.) he emphasized, “for no payment will be made to growers who have not signed.” County and community committees have been set up in each county of the State, Criswell said, and they will have charge of the local admin istration of the program, with the as sistance of county agents. The committees will pass upon all work sheets and applications in their respective counties, with a view to checking up on the accuracy of state ments made and figures given. They will also assist with the work of checking each grower's compliance so as to determine the amount of money he is qualified to receive. Both the county and community committees are composed of repre sentative farmers from over the county. Community committees were set up in all communities where there were enough work sheets sign ed to justify them. Retirement Os Farley From Post Office Job Imminent Postmaster - General Sum moned by President for Important Campaign Discussions TO GIVE FULL TIME OVER TO ELECTION G. O. P. Chairman Hamil ton Charges Democratic Platform Intended “Chief ly To Hypnotize Voters”; Wallace Terms G. O. P. Document Conflicting Washington, July 2.—(AP) — New Deal tactics in the campaign wars were up for discussion today as Pre sident Roosevelt summoned National Chairman James A. Farley to an im portant conference at the White House. The talk was vested with additional importance because it was expected to determine Farley’s future status in the New Deal’s high command. Re current reports led many in the capi tal to believe that Farley might soon announce that he was stepping out as postmaster general, either perma nently or temporarily, to concentrate on his duties as national chairman. Describing the recent Democratic convention as marked by “numba jumbo," Republican Chairman John D. M. Hamilton told the Ohio Repub lican Convention last night that the platform adopted at Philadelphia was intended “chiefly to hypnotize the voters.” On the other hand, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, in a letter to an lowa farmer, hammered the Republi can farm plank as contradictory. It made, he said “conflicting commit ments to eastern capital and western agriculture.” By its reference to the "restrictive and coercive AAA”, it denounces the principles of productive adjustment, he said. “The monpolistic industrial group which are back of the Ameri can Liberty League were eager that it should, despite the fact that they have exercised and still do exercise rigid control over their own produc tion.” MOVIE CENSORSHIP ORDERED BY POPE Encyclical Is Addressed Particu larly to Catholic Bishops in the United States Vatican City, July 2 (AP)—Pope Pius today ordered a world censor ship of movies under the direction of his bishops. The order was issued in an ency clical letter addressed directly to the bishops and archbishops of the Ro man Catholic Church in the United States. The churc lihead also ordered the bishops throughout the world to ob tain from the faithful annually re newable promises to “abstain from witnessing bad films.” It was the first time in recent years the pope has published an en cyclical address directly to American bishops. His holiness ordered the establish ment of motion picture review offices under the supervision of the bishops and said these offices would inform laymen what pictures they may or may not see. “In particular, fathers and moth ers of families conscious of their re sponsibility should cooperate,” the pope said. Lone Minei Rescued At Deep Shaft Shamokin, Pa., July 2.—(AP)—Re scuers brought Enoch Kuklinskie, Jr., to the surface today after almost 22 hours entombment in a 30-foot-deep coal hole. Physicians said he suffered no serious injuries. The only apparent effects of Kuk linskie’s long imprisonment in the small, dark, damp, independent mine was shock, hunger and thirst. Phy sicians said they expected him to re cover quickly, unless pneumonia de veloped. The rock, coal and timber which fell on the miner yesterday pinned him to a pile of crushed coal on the mine floor. This cushioned the weight but held him fast. 011ß WEATHER MAN FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

WPA administrators in Minnesota, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, the states most adversely affected by the drought that blanketed the prin cipal agricultural sections of the na tion, planned construction of dams to check run-offs, conserve moisture and raise the water table. The works progress organizations chief, Harry Hopkins, disclosed that, more than half the work relief out lined for those states would be de voted to conservation undertakings. Employment of more than 25,000 dis tressed farmers was ordered. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace pointed to the possible loss of fer tility.

It towered above the mass of verbiage in a too-long drawn-out convention. More, it has set a pace— and a standard. Republicans realize it would be folly not to recognize that. They are be ginning a shrewd, "silent” campaign of their own to counteract the Presi dent. Governor Landon, it will he ob served, is living a simple life. His ef forts will be contrasted with the "shownmanship” of the Democratic candidate. And although Governor Landon is (Continued on Page Two.)
