HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR TOBACCO MARKETS ON BORDER READY 10 START SEASON ) Sales Set To Begin in South Carolina-North Carolina Belt Tomorrow Morning CROP IS LATE AND OFFERINGS SMALLER Will Probably Be Less Than Last Year’s First Sale; But Higher Prices Are Expect ed ; Government Grading in Three Markets Is En joined Florence, S. C., Aug. 12. —(AP) —Of- ficials. circuit riders and buyers rep resenting domestic and foreign to bacco companies scattered to the 14 markets of the bright tobacco belt of South Carolina and North Carolina border markets today for the open ing of the annual marketing session tomorrow. The group set out for the markets today after their annual conclave here last night. * Reports from over the bright belt ? aid the crop this year is approxi mately 30 days late and the opening break tomorrow was expected to be somewhat under that of the past three seasons. Timmonsville reported the four warehouses there filled 50 percent of capacity, with a 75 percent average break expected tomorrow. Pamplico’s four warehouses were expected to be filled for the opening tomorrow, after reports said farmers in the vicinity had not been hard hit by the drought. Tobacco of good qual ity was expected to corrtprise the of ferings and farmers said they expect ed a higher average than last year. Meanwhile, a court order restrained the Federal government from inau guarating tobacco grading service on three of the South Carolina markets. The order, returnable at Columbia August 17, was issued :by Judge J. Lyles Glenn in Federal court at Rock Hill yesterday on petitions of ware housemen of the three markets af fected. Attorneys for the tobacco ware housemen attacked the constitutiona lity of the tobacco inspection act and contended the handling and sale of tobacco does not come within the scope of interstate commerce. At Dillon warehouses were filling rapidly with prospects of 300,000 to 400,000 pounds, said to be the heaviest offerings for opening sales in the mar ket’s history, would be on hand. Fstimates placed the 1936 yield for Dillon county at 35 percent below that for 1935 because of drought. Warehousemen and farmers said prospects for the highest prices in years were considered bright, Hun dreds were expected to attend the opening auctions. Reports from Kingstree said two warehouses there were filled, with ex pectations for approximately 250,000 pounds, mostly first primings, to be on the market at the opening. Asks Speedy Ruling For T obacco Agriculture Official In Washington Wants Injunction Settled Now Washington, Aug. 12.—(AP) —C. W. Kitchen, assistant chief of the Bureau of Agriculture Economics, said today he hoped the courts would render an early decision on the petition filed in South Carolina for an injunction a gainst the Federal tobacco grading •service. Kitchen said the marketing season was short and unless there was an early decision it would be impossible to put the grading service into opera tion in South Carolina this year. The bureau officials said, regardless of the outcome of the hearing, the grading service would be inaugurated at other designated markets unless stopped by legal action.

Highway Commission In For Attack By Enemies Probably Is Most Unpopular of All Departments of State at Present Time; May Be Reorganized With Commissioners Appointed by Districts Daily Dispatch Bui van. In The Sir Walter Hole. By J. C. BASKERVILt, Raleigh, Aug. 12.—One of at least two major State departments regard ed as sure to be subjected to bitter attack in the forthcoming General Assembly, is the State Highway and Pul lie W’orks Commission, according to rumblings already being heard here. The other is the State Depart ment of Revenue. But the scrap over the highway department is expected to overshadow everything else and to be one of the major battles, if not the major battle, of the 1937 legisla tive session. The outcome of this bat tle is expected to be a general re oiganization of the commission, pro bably with a return to the old dis trict with a commissioner from each district and possibly a change in the chairmanship. Some believe, however, that Capus M. Waynick, the present chairman, may be retained if the com mission is reorganized and most, If not all, of the present members of this commission dropped. Many are ERWIN ASKS MORE VOCATIONAL FUNDS One Purpose of Visit to Washington; Demand Growing in State Daily Dlapateh Bureau. In The Sir Walter Hotel, By .F. C. BASKERVIIiL, Raleigh, Aug. 12. —State Superinten dent of Public Instruction Clyde A. Erwin is in Washington today, where with Dr. T. E. Browne, director of vocational education in North Caro lina, he is attending the National Con ference on Vocational Education, which will last most of this week. While in Washington Superintendent Erwin also plans to attend some of the sessions of the School Plant Sur vey Conference, at which the resuTts of this survey being concluded in the various states, with the assistance of the WPA, will he discussed. But it Is the vocational education conference in which he is especially interested, Mr. Erwin said before leaving Tues day night. “There is an increasing interest In vocational education in every section of North Carolina and for the past year or two we have not been able to meet anything like all of the requests which have been received for courses in agriculture, manual training, dom estic science, wood working and other branches of vocational education, in spite of the fact that the 193, General Assembly materialy increased the ap propriation for matching Federal funds for vocational education,” Su perintendent said. I am hoping to get some additional information from this conference that will help us work out a more extensive vocational educa-i tion program here in North Carolina for the next two years and help us meet the increasing demand for more vocational instructions.” Erwin pointed out that the Fed eral government is giving more aid to vocational education than to any other branch of education at the pre (Continued on Page Eight.)

Hoey. Probably Most Unpopular. At any rate, most political obser vers over the State now agree that the State Highway and Public Works Commission is probably the‘most un popular division of the State depart ments and that the people of the State are going to demand a change in its present organization in the next legislature. There are numerous rea sons for this unpopularity, one of the principal ones being the weather last winter, the large surplus which ac crued in the highway fund between 1933 and 1935, which the commission needed to spend on the roads but c ould not because of the laws pro hibiting it and the tremendous de mand from all parts of the State for (Continued on Page Eight.) 1 getSures Welfare Department Called on for Data Showing Crime Causes Dally Dinpatch Bnrena, In The Sir Walter Kotei, By J. «!_ BAMHERVILI- Raleigh, Aug. 12. —The new liquor fact finding commission, of which Victor S. Bryant, of Durham, is chair man, is already busy at work assem bling data to assist it in making its study of the manufacture, sale and use of liquor in North Carolina. A let ter from Mr. Bryant has already been received by the division of institu tions and inspections of the Depart ment of Welfare, asking the division for the figures it has on county jail populations in the State and the of fenses for which they have been com mitted, it was learned today. The law now requires every county jailer in the State to make a complete report each month of every person committed to jail, together with the offense charged and regardless of whether the person is convicted or not. These reports must give the name, age, color, sex and other de tails concerning each person commit ted to jail each month, together with the offense each’' is charged with. Studies made by the welfare depart ment of these reports for single months in the past have shown that a very large number of those com mitted to jails over the State has been for some violation of the State pro hibition laws or for offenses either directly or indirectly connected with the manufacture, sale or use of liquor. It is understood that Chairman Bryant has asked the welfare depart ment to make an alaysis of all these jail reports from January through July in an effort to determine just how many of those jailed each month in the county jails were arrested for some violation of the liquor laws.

This Country Will “Scrupu lously Refrain from Ans Interference Whatsoever in Unfortunate Spanish Situ ation,” State Department Declares (By The Associated Press.) Spain’s northern seaboard was the focal point today of the government’s drive to crush the Fascists revolution in the face of a smashing attack by the rebels to break through to the sea. Madrid looxed upon prospective capture of the rebel stronghold of Oviedo in the northwest as the be ginning of a “great turn” in its ef forts to crush the rebellious forces. Dispatches from Tangier indicated the troops of the rebel Generalissimo Francisco Franco were under orders to begin their major drive on Madrid from the south today. Twelve thous and Moroccoan soldiers were expect ed to participate in the advance. The most bitter fighting between government and rebel forces, debating with shell and rifle fire the possession of Bay of Biscaya cities, appeared to be taking place in the Irun-San Sebas tian vicinity. In an effort to hasten general agreement on its proposed general neutrality accord respecting the Span ish revolution, France set August 17 as the deadline for adherence. Poli tical headquarters indicated the So cialist government in Paris might send aid to Madrid if the negotiations for the accord fail. The American State Department announced last night this country in tends to “scrupulously refrain from any interference whatsoever in the unfortunate Spanish situation.” OUTSIDE EVIDENCE BLOCKS ASTOR CASE Lawyer for Dr. Thorpe Says Extran eous Matter Is Holding Up Full Settlement Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 12. —(AP) — The stumbling block to a settlement of the Mary Astor-Dr. Franklin Thorpe martial dispute, said Attorney Joseph Anderson today, is extraneous matter not introduced in evidence.” Anderson, attorney for Dr. Thorpe, apparently referred to the private diary of Miss Astor, which Dr. Thorpe has charged contains references to romances with various prominent men.

The romance found a turbulent climax in a New York quarrel which ended in Barrymore speeding west by plane and train, followed as far as Kansas by Miss Barry. . ROBINSON, BORAH FOR U.

Therefore, if the position of comptroller general was tendered me, I could not accept it.” Low Rates About Only Jef fersonian Doctrine Party Still Keeps By CHARLES P. STEWART. * Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Aug. 12. —To any old timer, who thought he had learned the difference between Republicans and Democrats 30 or 40 years ago, these designations have ceased to make a bit of sense today. We point out that again in view of the meeting of a group of “anti-New Deal Democrat® in Detroit. Early in the game, when the Re oublicans really were Hamiltonians and the Democrats really were Jef fersonians, there was an actual choice between them. Later the two parties became so much alike that it was difficult to tell them apart. For example, in 1924, when the late Senator Robert M. La Follette ran for president as a third party Progressive, he did so on the ground that a citizen who cast his ballot Republicanly or Democratioal (Continued on Page Eight.)
