McMahon was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment, at hard labor. He was acquitted on two of the three charges placed against him, after he sighted a loaded revolver at the mon arch as he rode by in a military pro fession on Constitution Hill July 16. The pudgy crippled Irish Scot tes tified “a foreign power” had wanted him to shoot the king on an earlier occasion and had tried to enlist him as a spy against Britain. Before the verdict was reached, McMahon pleaded with the court to send him to prison to protect him from those whom he said he had be trayed by failing to carry out the deed. The jury deliberated only ten min utes. The prisoner said he had told the British war office of the purported “foreign power” plot. Sitting in the witness box he wrote on a piece of paper which was handed to the judge jury and attorney general the name of the person “in the embassay of (Continued on Page Three.)

All Culture and All Civilization WOULD ARM MASSES FOR DESTRUCTION Fascist Warriors Complete Occupation of San Sebas tian, With Civil Adminis tration; Rightists In France Accuse Socialist Govern ment (By The Associated Press.) Pope Pius XI, with the whole world as his audience, gave his solemn blessing today to a militant defense against the forces of com munism, which he said "menace the very foundations of all order, all cul ture and all civilization.’’ The holy father pardoned the kill ers of bishops and priests in Spain and declared subversive forces there and elsewhere “aim at arming the masses and throwing them madly against every form of institution, hu man and divine.” He called upon “those who had a duty in the matter" to act—“if indeed it is not already too late.” On the battlefront Fascists war riors completed their occupation of San Sebastian and set up a civil ad ministration. Government defenders who abandoned the city to the ad-; vancing insurgents early Sunday set up a new front at Drio. Other government forces to the south claimed they had flung back a vicious attack at Talavera on the road to Madrid. The French minister of public works in Paris charged Spanish Fas cists had flaunted the French flag at an international station, causing the halting of rail service into insur gent territory. Rightists in France charged the Socialist government with trying to provoke a native uprising in French Morocco in the hope it would spread to Spanish Morocco and cause trou ble for the Fascist authorities, who seized power at the beginning of the revolution. PATROL RADIO NOT TO INJURE OTHERS Assurance Is Given That There Will Be No Inter ference In State Dally Digpatt'h Bnrrnn, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. BASKERVIU, Raleigh, Sept. 14. —The five high way patrol radio broadcasting sta tions soon to be built will not cause any interference with the reception of radio programs from commercial radio stations, either long or short wave, Paul Rosecrans, chief radio en gineer for the highway patrol, said today. Some people have gotten the idea that the reason the patrol radio stations are all ‘being built outside the city limits of cities and towns was because the stations might, interfere with other radio reception in these cities. But this is not the case, al though Rosecrans said that better diffusion of the radio waves is obtain ed by having them located outside cities and towns. “The principal reason these sta tions are being located outside the citeis is that approximately 30 acres of land are needed for each station and the cost of this much land in side city limits would be prohibitive” Rosecrans said. “For in addition to the single steel tower 303 feet tall for the antenna, some 13 miles of wire will be buried in the ground radiat ing from the tower, like spokes in a huge wheel, 600 feet in each direction. This ground wiring is essential to this Continued on Page Five.) war planes thundered overhead; 100 tanks crashed through barbed wire entanglements; the eyes and noses of spectators were assailed by the smoke of innumerable explosions. The total strength of Hitler’s new air force has not been disclosed, but this morning’s parade was a broad hint that thousands of other war planes were quietly waiting at air bases in other parts of Germany.

By J C. BASKBBViLL Raleigh, Sept. 14. —The visit of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to North Carolina last week has helped North Carolina even more than it helped the President, according tjo those who have been watching the results of his visit. It is agreed, of course, that the trip the President made through the State will result in his getting a good many more votes than he would have gotten if he had not come here, although most obser vers agree he would have received a tremendous vote in November any way. Most observers now agree that he will get in excess of 500,000 votes in the general election this fall. The two aspects of the President’s visit which are making party leaders so happy, however, ig the effect it has had in bringing the various fac tions iri the Democratic party togeth er and the hope it has held out for speeding up work on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Those who attended the “Green Pastures” rally in Charlotte last Thursday and who have since talked with others who went there, are con vinced that nothing could have been more fortunate for the Democratic party in the State than this celebra tion, and especially the type of speech which the President made. Almost with one accord they agree that this celebration has already done more to heal the wounds opened during the primary campaigns and bring the “liberals” and “conservatives” to geter under a single Democratic ban ner than anything else could have done. Not only were the “liberals” pleased with the attention and con sideration shown Dr. Ralph W. Mc- Donald at the rally, but they were al so impressed by the very brief, but very masterful and sincere introduc tion of the President by Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus, and by the very evident esteem with which the Presi dent regarded the governor, it is main tained. The result has been that few er and fewer Democrats are now thinking about being either “liberals” or “conservatives” and more and Continued on Page Five.) OUR MfeOTHEP MAM FOB NORTH CAROLINA.
