But from the blood-smeared ruins remnants of the besieged still man ned machine guns to make the gov ernment victory far from complete. Somewhere in the Alcazar’s many cellars were scores of women and children —only 20 of these were rescu ed yesterday. It has ben estimated there were 1,- 400 Fascist soldiers and cadets and 300 women and children in the fort ress when the siege began two months ago. ~'"r", In Madrid, tiro government had new troubles with its critical supporters, the Syndicalists.

The League Council, which met in preliminary discussion yesterday, ten tatively approved a proposal to wel come Italian diplomats, but to shut the door in the face oi Emperor Haile Selassie’s representatives. The Council’s action, dominated by the larger powers, was defended on the ground that European security is of greater consequence than the po sition of Ethiopia inside the circle of nations. But representatives of the smaller powers, apparently preparing to ob ject when the Assembly convenes next week, professed to see in Ethio pia’s 1 fate an example of what might happen to them. The Council was summoned to meet again this afternoon to discuss sub mitted proposals to reform or amend the League covenant in an effort to bolster international security.

Many influential men and women in the Baptist denomination wished to fight the thing out, but it won’t be necessary.

May Decide Moore Case Next— Week Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 19. —In the first fil ings of the Supreme Court opinions, set Wednesday of next week, the Mar tin Moore case from Buncombe is ex pected to be settled as to the two mo tions made two weeks ago. The defense has moved for a cer tiorari which would permit the case to be docketed, and the State has moved to dismiss because the case was not brought up according to the requirements of the court. The con tention of the State is that the pri soner under sentence of death for killing Miss Helen Clevenger, did not perfect his appeal, that the act of the superior court judge in giving Moore’s attorneys 45 days instead of 15 in which to get the appeal in order, was not permitted under the statute. That it is done a great deal is ad mitted, but seldom has a case of this character been brought here. After Moore arrived in Raleigh he volun (Continued on Page Eight.) FOB NORTH CAROLINA.

Publisher Object Os Vicious Attack From White House Allegation That President Accepts Support of Hos tile Aliens Is De nounced FDR DOESN’T WANT ANY SUCH SUPPORT “Certain Notorious News paper Owner” Attacked for Articles “Conceived in Malice and Born of Politi cal Spite”; Secretary Signs Statement Washington, Sept. 19—(AP) —In at sharply worded statement, the White House said today it had learned of “a planned attempt” led by a “certain notorious news paper owner” to give the Impres sion that President Roosevelt “passively accepts the support of alien organizations hostile to the American form of government.” The statement, issued by Stephen T. Early, a presidential secretary, di rectly denied that this was so. The newspaper owner was not named. .. The President had been back in the White House less than two hours after returning from the Harvard University tercentenary celebration to the bedside of Mrs. Roosevelt, who is recovering from an attack of gripe, when Early summoned newspaper men and issued the statement. The text follows: “My attention has been called to a planned attempt, led by a certain notorious newspaper owner, to make It appear that the President passively accepts the support of alien organiza tions hostile to the American form of government. “Such articles are conceived in malice and born of political spite. They are deliberately framed to give (Continued on Page Four.) bahllWer Glass’ Two Papers Not In Sympathy With New Deal, But Are Quiet By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Sept. 19.—Readers of the Baltimore Sun may have been suj prised by the openness of the japer's recent at’i' ission that it “is unable to advocate the re election of President Rmscv elt.’* However, no one who has kept in touch with the Sun’s editorial attitude can have doubted tnat it has been out of sympathy with the New Deal s general poiicy (a policy it indorses in many of its details) for a long time. Being unsympathetic and saying so are two different things, neverthe less. For example, Senator Carter Glass Lynchburg (Va.) Daily News (morning) and Daily Adavnce (after noon) abviously are New Dealerishly unsympathetic but they don’t an nounce that they are. The distinct J on is substantially the same as the distinction between the respective positions of Senator Glass and ex-Senator James A. Reed of Mis souri.

Raleigh, Sept. 19. —Democratic State headquarters does not welcome very warmly McDonald men, numerous members of that group tell your bu reau, and they hear complaints every where about it. When a week ago President Roose velt visited Charlotte, McDonald men say that only one member of their forces, former Sheriff George B. Mc- Leod, was invited to participate in an official way, Sheriff McLeod was an assistant chief marshal. He remarked in Charlotte that day on the scarcity of McDonald men in this rally. Since that time State Manager Wil lie Lee Lumpkin has tendered, as he previously had done, his services to the State organization. Mr. Lumpkin has been put on the national speak ers list.

Raleigh, Sept. 19.—State Republi cans say they are going to be able to use the race issue in politics with out affront to the black man and with quite some embarrassment. They will take their text from the Democratic Bible, the Raleigh News and Observer. They have run into the book before. For fully 35 of its 50 years they have met this race issue, in State politics. The Raleigh paper, which was wont in the old days to use red ink, nicknamed pokeberry juice, to emblazon the misconduct of the Republicans in their dealings with the black brother, now puts out the word that the Literary Digest presi dential poll cannot be called com plete until the Negro and labor votes are counted.

But his friends wish to see him working with the State organization here. It is known that State Chairman J. Wallace Winborne, was not altogether acceptable to Senator Bob Reynolds four years ago, the senator remem bering that the chairman never had been a Reynolds supporter.

Dr. McDonald has declared for Sen ator Reynolds in 1938 and there may be something of an alliance ahead. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY EASTERN CAROLINA SURVIVES WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF LIFE Extensive Damage to Pro perty Revealed in Coast Country as Reports Trickle In THOUSAND MILES OF COAST LINE RAKED Middle and Eastern States Feel Fury of One of Worst Hurricanes in Years; Ship ping at Sea Warned To Flee to Safety in Path of Storm New York, Sept. 19.—(AP)— Eight known dead, 15 reported missing and three vessels unre ported were the casualties today of one of the most violent hur ricanes that ever hurled itself a gainst the Atlantic coast.

Loyalists Move Into Fort Ruins Toledo, Spain, Sept. 19. —(AP)— Through a choking pall of smoke, Spanish government forces worked their way today inch by inch into the ruins of the dynamite-ripped Alcazar, citadel of 1,706 Fascists—dead and alive. With 1,200 of the estimated execut ed by yesterday’s tremendous ex plosion of two mines, government militiamen in daytime fighting, drove the insurgents farther back into the ruins. The militiamen had withdrawn overnight because of the heavy smoke from the burning debris. Today found the surviving Fascists still manning their machine guns, raking the wreckage of the Alcazar, despite the suffocating air. Assault guards and militiamen sniped bitterly at the machine gun nests awaiting opportunities to pene trate the Fascist-held sections.
