Negroes Win Further In Olympiad Berlin, Aug. s.—(AP) —Jesse Owens streaked over the 200-metre course in 20.7 seconds, creating a new world record for the distance around one turn in annexing his third title of the eleventh Olympic games today, as Ken Carpenter, of Compton, Cal., won the discuss throw championship. Owens’ victory today, coupled with his earlier trial in the broad jump and the 100-metre sprint, made him the first Olympic champion since Paavo Nurmi, the “phantom Finn,” won three gold medals at Paris in 1924. The 200-metre final produced a one two finish by American Negroes just as did the 100-metre final. Just as Owens flashed across the finish, it started to rain and Reich fuehrer Adolf Hitler, who has been a constant spectator, left the stadium. The conquest by Owens and Mat thew Robinson in the 200, following the one-two finish by Carpenter and Gordon Dunn, of Fresno, Cal., in the discuss, ran up the United States’ first places to seven and total points to 113 in ten events. 4-YEAR MED SCHOOL WILL BE REQUESTED FROM LEGISLATURE Carolina and Wake Forest Two-Year Schools May Be Abolished Unless Enlarged FEELING DUKE PRONOUNED American Medical Associ ation Threat to Close Up Chapel Hill and Wake For est Few Years Ago Laid by Some Partly to Duke Medical Sources Dully Dlkiintch nmea*i, In 'l‘he Sir Waller Hole., It v .1 r IMKKKIIVH.t. Raleigh, Aug. s.—The 1937 General Assembly will be asked to set up a four-year medical school in North Carolina and the foundation work for an intensive campaign to bring about the establishment of such a medical school as a unit of the University of North Carolina either in Chapel Hill or Raleigh, is now under way. There is also talk that an effort may be made to consolidate the Wake Forest medical department with this school and to make the new school, if it is set up, a consolidation of the two year medical courses now offered both at Chapel Hill and Wake Forest. Not that either school wants this, for both are expected to oppose any consolida tion unless it becomes apparent that they must either consolidate or be abolished. But the belief in medical circles over the State is that unless the University of North Carolina or Wake Forest establish as a four-year medical school that will meet with the approval of the education committee of the American Medical Association, that both will have to close up their present two-year courses. Two Big Factors. While it is agreed that there is a real need for another four year med ical school in North Carolina in ad dition to the one at Duke University, the two biggest factors in the move ment to secure another standard school are regarded as being: 1. The fact that unless a four year medical school is set up, either as a paid of the University of North Car olina or of Wake Forest College, that the two year pre-med departments in tboth institutions will have to be abolished. 2. The whole-hearted dislike which both the University of North Caro lina and Wake Forest medical de partments Have for Duke University, also the dislike which most of the doctors in the State, especially those who did part of their medical work at. Chapel Hill or Wlake Forest, have for the Duke University medical school and hospital. There is virtually no disagreement among the physicians of the State with regard to the need for another four year school. They also agree that if Wake Forest and Carolina should be forced to abolish their two-year pre-medical courses, a great many young men in the State who want to study medicine and become doctors will be unable to, because they will not be able to stand the expense of taking their entire medical course at Duke or outside the State.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Aug. 5. —How to deal with drouth and dust storms, on the one hand, and how to deal with floods on the opposite hand, may seem like entirely different problems. Nevertheless, the Federal Resettle ment Administration views them as practically identical. It doesn’t consider them solvable off-hand, however. It speaks of what has been done as only a drop in the bucket. GETTING TO BASIC CAUSES “Drouth, floods and_ dust storms,” says M. E. Gilford, who directs “Re settlement’s” publicity activities, “have brought home to every Amer ican the pressing need of not only re lieving emergency farm distress, but also of getting at the basic causes of the disasters which strike our farms time and again.” “Resettlement” points out. that each year thousands of acres of once fer tile land are ruined by wind and rain erosion. Poverty and suffering in farm regions are as severe as in any city slum. “To deal constructively with the problems of land and rural distress,” continues Publicity Director Gilford, “the Resettlement Administration was established on April 30, 1935.’’ FOUR-POINT PROGRAM By its four-point program it set out: (1) To purchase worn-out and mis- Continued on Page Five.)

BASKEBVtUj Raleigh, Aug. 5. —The demand for driving licenses continues unabated with the result that 709,490 licenses had been issued through July 31, of which 12,056 were issued during July, Director Arthur Fulk, of the highway safety division of the Department of Revenue, pointed out today in an nouncing the figures for July. Os these 709,400 licenses issued since last, sum mer, 64,513 have been issued since November 1, 1935, which means that each person who received one of these paid $1 for his or her license. Os the 12,056 issued in July, 11,362 were paid licenses, the others being duplicates. A total of 547 driver’s license were revoked by the division during July, most of them because the holders had been convicted of drunken driving or of equally serious offenses for which licenses are automatically revokable.

DRIMENDRIIG ON THEJNCREASE Due in Part to Better En forcement and Partly to More Drinking Dally Dispatch Barea*, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BA«KERVILL Raleigh, Aug. 5- The very definite increase in convictions for drunken driving, as shown in the number of driver’s licenses being revoked, does not mean that there is any great in crease in the number of drinking drivers, but may he due just as much to better enforcement of the law by the police generally ancl by the high way patrol, both Ronald Hocutt, as sistant director of the highway safety division, and Captain Charles D. Farmer, of the highway patrol, said today. Both agreed, however, that holiday and vacation drinking, and the ease with which it is possible to buy whisky in “dry” as well as in “wet” counties and towns, was un doubtedly a factor. A total of 86 drivers’ license were revoked today, bringing the total so far for the first five days in August to 185, most of which were revoked following convictions for drunken driving, Hocutt pointed out.

France Is Anxious To Avert War Paris, Aug. 5.(—-(AP) —Encouraged by an affirmative reply from Great Britain, adhering in principle to the French stand, France’s Socialist gov ernment decided today to communi cata its appeal for non-intervention, in Spain to other European powers immediately to thwart any incident which might provoke a general con flagration. Sources close to the French for eign office said that while it waited a reply from Premier Mussolini, the government of Premier Leon Blum hoped to receive soon a certain num ber of adhesions to the non-interven tion proposition, with a view to ar riving at a general neutrality accord.” The foreign office heard reports that the German freighter Cevilla had been endangered during a Spanish government bombardment of Larache, Moroccan community, arousing fears in some other capitals that an in cident might develop before a general neutrality accord was reached.
