In addition to grading the leaf, the government will furnish daily sales information on prices paid for various grades, giving the farmer an opportunity to check the bid for his tobacco with that for the general av erage for the same grade.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, July 28. —-Business is peculiar. By all rules of the game it. ought to be at least, as flat as ever; even fr'ore so, maybe. It is traditional that trade and in dustry always are below par in a na tional election year. It also stands to reason that a serious crop failure makes times hard. The threat of large Koale labor trouble by rights should be a depressing influence. Os course, widespread unemployment is, theoreti eallv, bad for all classes. ANI> BUSINESS IMPROVES! Will!

However, we don’t have to find a man guilty of a criminal act to dismiss him. Evidence of indirect intimidation is enough.” Williams’ statement came imme diately after he had discussed with W. S.

A hotel chambermaid’s chart, offi cers said, showed the door to the slain co-ed's room was locked from inside at 8:20 a. m. on July 16. That was a little more than hours after the 18-year-old New York University student was ravished, shot and her face disfigured with a sharp instrument. If Miss Clevenger’s room was lock ed from the inside, as the chart in dicated, was the murderer in there at 8:20? Was he .there from 1 a. m., when several guests at the hotel heard a woman”s agonizing scream, until 8:20?

PICKENS NEW COMMANDER Lincolnton Man Chosen As Asheville Meet Ends; To Gather In Durham Next Year ADMIRAL STANDLEY URGES LARGE NAVY Says Fleet Had Become Dangerously Small But Is Emerging from State of National Neglect; Lauds Roosevelt Friendship For The Navy Asheville, July 28. —(AP)—Wiley M. Pickens, of Lincolnton, was elected commander of the North Carolina De partment of the American Legion and Durham was chosen the 1937 conven tion city as the Legionnaires ended their 1936 convention here today. This morning Admiral W. H. Stand ley, chief United States naval opera tions, told the Legionnaires that to allow the navy’s strength to fall be low accepted standards is to com promise national security. The speaker, after recounting the part the navy played in the World War, described the country’s naval policy as follows: “It is to maintain a navy strong enough to protect our coasts and in sular possessions and to safeguard our sea-borne commerce. “Our naval strength is relative to other naval strengths. It is computed in terms of the obstacles it must over come to carry out our naval policy.” Standley said the navy is now em erging from a period of national neg lect, “which dangerously lowered its strength and potential usefulness. “In 1916, under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson and Sec retary Daniels, a naval building pro gram was adopted which would have given us by 1937 the strongest navy in the world,” he said. "In 1933, instead of having a navy second to none—as our agreements provided—we were dangerously de ficient. “If we have, as we should have, the support of all the patriotic and sincere citizenship of the United States in our efforts to carry through with this program, we will have an adequate navy. Os all the measures that make for national security there is none more important than this.” Tropical Storm Is Moving On Florida Jacksonville, Fla., July 28. —(AP)— A tropical disturbance of moderate but mounting intensity moved on the Bahamas today and storm warnings flew from Fort Pierce to Key West on the southeastern Florida coast.
