HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR COUGHLIN REBUKED BY HIGH OFFICIAL FOR STATEMENTS Radio Priest Terms Roose velt as “Anti-God,” Advocates “Use of Bullets” OVERSTEPPED BOUNDS SAYS ARCHBISHOP McNicholas Sends Sharp Worded Rebuke to Father Coughlin Saving No Ex cuse for Exciting People Over Conditions That Do Not Exist and Never Will. Cincinnati, Sept. 26.—(AP)—The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin studied in Philadelphia today a rebuke from the Most Rev. John T. McNicholas, of the Cincinnatti Catholic diocese, for his reference to President Roosevelt as "anti-God” and his advocacy of “use of bullets,” against any “upstart dic tator.” “I remember very well how they persecuted Mohammed,” said the radio priest, as he received last night a report of Arch Bishop McNicholas’ comment, and in which the arch bishop said “there is no excuse for exciting in the people the spirit of violent rebellion against conditions which do not actually exist and may never exist.” Arch BLshop McNicholas expressed hope that Father Coughlin would re tract the “bullets” assertion, and had “transgressed bounds” as he made the statement attributed to him —that President Roosevelt is “anti-God.” “Father Coughlin knows the mean ing of ‘anti-God’ in its broad accepta tion and the definite meaning now attached to it,” he said. “I am mak ing no statement for or against Presi dent Roosevelt, for or against the Re publican, Democratic or Union par ties, but I am insisting as a public moral teacher that Father Coughlin transgressed bounds if he made the statement attributed to him, that President Roosevelt is anti-God.” CANDIDATES EIGHT FOR MIDDLE WEST Landon Has Spent Week There is Farm States; All Factions Work Chicago, September 26 — (AP) The intensive campaign for the pres idential vote of middle America farm states continued at a swift pace to day with Governor A1 M. Landon on his way to Oregon, 111 to discuss ag ricultural problems with Frank O. Lowden, They will meet Sunday. The Republican presidential can didate has completed nearly a week’s swing through the farm states of the middle west, and attention has been focused anew on the fact that evi dently both Republican and Demo crats believed that as the corn belt goes, so will go the nation in the 1936 presidential election. Not in years has there been such an effort by presidential candidates to win votes in the agricultural sec tion. All factions have sent their best' orators into the middle west and President Roosevelt, Mr. Landon and Representative William Lemke have devoted more personal attention to that section of the country than to almost any other. As the campaign nears a climax with Chicago speeches by both Landon and President Roose velt, interest has centered on major political parties conditions in those states.

Liberal Democrats Losing Heart With McDonald Out Gubernatorial Candidate Hobnobs With “Machine” Element Too Much Now; McDonald Says He Had To Change His Profession Because Couldn’t Teach Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Sept. 26. — The Liberal Democrats are already beginning to droop and lag and to feel the need of a shot of something to pep them up, according to those who have been keeping in close touch with this or ganization &f McDonald Democrats which started out with a bang soon after the former college professor polled some 212,000 votes in his un successful campaign for the Demo cratic nomination for governor. But the organization of anti-machine Dem ocrars which started out like a lion is already beginning to look more like a very mild little lamb, accord ing to comment heard in various places. Biggest Blow. The bigest blow the Liberal Demo crats have had and the one which has done more damage to their morals and enthusiasm than anything else, was the statement made by Dr. Ralph W. McDonald recently to the effect that he “had no connection with the Liberal Democrats” and had had nothing to do with launching the or ganization, although he added that ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER HENDERSON, N.

C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Sept. 25 —A. S. Brower, di rector of the Division of Purchase and Contract and Paul Rosecrans, radio engineer for the State Highway Patrol, will leave here Sunday night on a trip to several places in New Jersey and New York where they will inspect various types of radio equip ment in use by the police of those states and visit various radio equip ment manufacturing plants, Brower said today. The Division of Purchase and Con tract has already received and open ed bids on radio equipment for the new State Highway Patrol radio com munications system varying in the amount from about $145,000 to $165,- 000, depending upon the type of equip ment to be used, Brower said.

The next biggest blow was when the erudite Doctor decided to give up education and poli tics as an avocation and take up law by becoming a student in the law school oi the University of North Car olina at Chapel Hill. This was almost the straw which broke the camel’s back. For it ig no secret that the lead ers of the Liberal Democrats had been counting strongly on the unofficial and more or less “absentee” leader ship of Dr. McDonald to help them go ahead with their organization work and hold their forces together. While he had no physical connec tion with them, the Liberal Demo crats felt that he was with them in spirit, at least. They were also con fident that he would continue to cry out against the absentee ballot, the election laws, the “machine” and all the powers that be in the Democratic party, so that their organization would continue to row and flourish like the tree planted by the flowing waters and stimulated with a lot of (Continued on Page Four.)

TELLS WHY BANKS DECLINE SAVINGS I ~ * They Don’t Want To Have To Buy More Govern ment Bonds With It By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington. Sept. 26.—1 know lit tle about banking. Therefore I draw no moral from this little tale that I am about to relate. I don’t compre hend fully what the moral is. How ever, I am personally familiar with the circumstances, for whatever their significance may be. To some reader they may have a meaning. If go I would appreciate having him en lighten me by mail. I am curious, for one thing. Furthermore, perhaps other folk ought to ibe informed. Colonel Knox has been referring re cently to savings accounts, as well as to insurance policies, and my story relates to the matter of savings ac counts. Thus the subiect is timely. CHECKING TO SAVINGS Odd as it may seem in the case of a. poor newspaperman, I have a small checking (not savings) account in a very substantial Washington banking house. Not long ago it struck me that it would be a bright idea to transfer some of this cash into savings, to draw a little interest. It wasn’t a large sum. Still, it was a few hundred; enouh to be worth having, I thought. So I asked the teller, as I was making a deposit, how to go about it. “Just draw a check,” rejoined the teller, pointing to a personage at a desk behind a brass rail (a cashier or vice president, I judged), “and take it to that chap over there. He’ll o. k. it for you. Then put it in through the savings window.” So I drew the check and submit ted, it as per instructions. SAVINGS REJECTED Sorry,” said the functionary, “but we re not accepting any more sav ings accounts now.” " I was surprised and probably look ed it, for the man at the desk ad mitted, “No doubt it seems queer that we can’t take your money, but it’s on account of government financiering.” He added: ‘Why don’t you buy government bonds?” Well, I didn’t Ibuy government bonds. I kept my checking account. I did try to get this banker to go a little into details but he was re ticent. I also tried to get some informa tion from the treasury department but officials there were even less communicative than my friend at the I bank. Orfe of them did, indeed, repeat the latter’s question— don’t you buy government bonds?” A FRIEND’S VIEW Later, however, I consulted a very intimate acquaintance of long * experi ence in the banking business, who, I thought, might be willing to talk to me confidentially. “Well, you see,” he answered, “the banks are so cram-jam full of gov ernment securities that they haven’t Continued on Page Five.)

(By The Associated Press.) The two billion dollar stabilization fund was immediately brought into play to protect the dollar in the world exchange market, as France, after an understanding with England and the United States, moved to de value its currency. Secretary Morgenthau revealed in Washington, that, Although foreign exchange dealings were virtually at a standstill, the Russian state bank had moved to depress the British pound £y offering one million pounds at “any price." Mbrgenthau said he im mediately bought the sterling, but this was not until in official trading in New York, the pound had dropped to $4.91 from yesterday’s close of $5.02. Wall Street exchange circles said American authorities were much more interested in the level of pound in terms of the dollar than any for eign currency since declines in the pound have tended to depress Amer ican prices. Securities prices in the New York stock exchange—the major world market——opening tended well upward as Wall Street experts hailed the French move as constructive and London banks looked for revival of world tdrae. The decision to devalue the French franc appeared virtually to have end ed the European gold bloc. The French government’s proposed, plan of devaluation is similar to that adopted by the United States three years ago.

The guns and planes poured a heavy fire into Bargas on the north side of the Pagus river. Simultaneously, government infan try attacked from three directions in an effort to force the enemy to re treat. In Toledo, the Alcazar, Fascists stubbornly resisted another attempt to storm the ruined fortress. The gov ernment said the insurgents in the Alcazar, were “hoping against hope” that aid would reach them as they exchanged machine gun and rine fire with their attackers. INSURGENTS HAMMER Ax THE GATES OF THE CITY OF . OLEDO (By The Associated Press.) Insurgent Spanish troops smashed at the gates of shell-riddled Toledo as the wife of President Manuel Azana, of Spain, was reported taken under Jhe proteetion of the Argentine Embassy. Insurgent commanders said rescue of their besieged comrades in Toledo’s famed Alcazar, raked by gun fire and dynamite, was only a matter of hours. President Azana was reported au thoritatively to have asked for poli | tical aslylum if it should prove neces sary aboard an Argentine warship. Rebel sources predicted the im minent downfall of Madrid as insur gents expressed fear that government troops in Toledo were throwing poison food to the men, women and children, who have been beleagured in the Alcazar. Rebels dispatched ten airplanes to rain bombs on Bilbao as anarchist sought to kill insurgent sympathizers held as hostages. The Madrid government dispatched fresh troops to the towns of Bargas, and of Toledo to aid the fighters at tempting to stem the Fascist advance. The situation in the Spanish capital was so confused that it was doubtful who was in control of the city.
