Fascist-Communist Clashes Beginning To Frighten U. S. By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 17—Fascist-Com munistic clashes in Europe are reach ing proportions which begin to cause serious anxiety on this side of the Atlantic. For a while the inclination in offi cial quarters here was to pooh-pooh the importance of these disturbances, toward the end of the Hoover admin istration there was talk of a Fascist trend. For example, Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, now out of public life, declared, in formal debate on Capitol Hill, that “if ever this Country needed a Mussolini, it needs him now.” But few folk took him FEWER ACCIDENTS ABOUT STATE FAIR Motor Crashes at Minimum and Only Injury Report ed Was Drunk Daily Dispatch Bureau. Jn the Sir Walter Hotel. By J- C.

Farmer, of the State Highway Pa trol, said today provided this record is maintained until the fair comes to a close tonight. He attributes this to more careful driving and a better understanding of the traffic laws by the public generally. “In fact, there really has not been an automobile accident of any sort either within the fair grounds or within several miles of the grounds. Captain Farmer said. "One drunken man was hurt when he got mixed up and started walking down the mid dle of the highway, or wobbling down it rather. A car struck him and threw him into a bus coming from the other direction. But his only in jury was a broken nose.” There was virtually no drunken driving among those who attended the State Fair this week, although there was probably more liquor in evidence than in many years, Captain farmer said. "People are at last waking up to the fact that it is not safe to drink likuor and then try to drive a car in (Continued on Page Three.) ONLY DAILY NEWSPAP ER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA ( seriously. On the opposite side of the fence, Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., of New York, some years ago launched his campaign to con vince the nation that America is in imminent danger of being commun ized. And all he got, until recently, from most sources, was the “horse laugh.” I wouldn’t say, even yet, that much of the citizenry is “sold” on the idea that the United States is in grave peril of passing under the rule of a dictatorship either of the bourgoisie or the proletariat.

A campaign conference between Governor Landon and Col. Frank Knox and a busy schedule of speech making for President Roosevelt in New York State, high spotted today’s political duelling.

Herbert Hoover, speaking at Philadelphia, accused the New Deal of “juggling” figures and permitting “hipocritical and mislead ing” data on physical affairs. At Lancaster, Pa., Secretary Wal lace said their was a “terrible con flict” in Republican farm policy and he laid it to “two short sighted groups.” The Worcester, Mass., Telegram, quoted James Roosevelt, son of the President, saying his father intended to seek an amendment to the con stitution to make “the principles of the NRA the law of the land.” Young Roosevelt said shorter houris were needed to correct unemeployment.

Has 50-50 Chance Os Worst Kind Os Inflation Babson Says Nation Already Well Along Highway To ward Public Bankruptcy; Building Here Same Type of Spending That Ruine d Germany and France By ROGER W. BABSON, Copyright 1936, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Mass., Oct. 16—The most important business and invest ment question today is not who will be elected November Third but whe ther this country is drifting into cur rency inflation. Fifteen years ago, the people of France, Italy, and Ger many were staring at the same on coming catastrophe that faces us now Hence, it is only common sense to learn as much as we can about what happened during inflation in Europe in case we are unable to avert simi lar disaster here. Boondoggling In Germany Germany stands out as the worst example of the chaos which currency inflation creates. Perhaps the most startling point brought out by infla tion studies is that, contrary to popu lar belief, the debt saddled on Ger many by the Allies had nothing to do with her starting the printing press- Three Men Die In Crossing Crash Greensboro, Oct. 17 (AP) —Three men, as yet unidentified, were kill ed in a grade crossing accident near Climax, 15 miles south of here about 9:30 this morning.

The trio, all comparatively young white men, were the only occupants of the automobile. Their bodies were badly mangled. liulliNs" IN FRENCH ACCORD Independent Newspaper De clares Country To Stand By Agreement Brussels, Oct. 17 (AP) —A news paper, independent Beige, said today it had learned authoritatively that Belgium did not intend to give up its military accord to France, its du ties under the League of Nations co venant or its adherence to princi ples of the Locarno pact. It also reported that Belgium chief of staff had asked for the equival ent of one hundred million dollars to complete the modernization of the army. Last Wednesday’s speech of King Leopold to the cabinet, the news paper stated, was unanimously ap proved by the ministers. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. es. The true cause was the wasteful and inefficient public spending dur ing her reconstruction period. Be ginning in 1919, the German treasury paid out far more than it collected in taxes. When Gejfmany’s credit was exhausted and she could no long er borrow to meet her bills, she was forced to the desperate resort of print ing paper money. In November, 1923, Germany wiped out her worthless paper money and established a new currency in the ratio of one new mark to one trillion of the old paper marks!' Just before the new currency was established, the cost of living was more than one trillion times the pre-war level. From our standpoint, the most alarming fact about Germany’s inflation is that it all started with exactly the same type of public spending that is going on in this country today.

By J. C. BASKF-RVILL Raleigh, Oct. 17. —The attempt be ing made by Gilliam Gressom, Re publican candidate for governor, to pose as a “liberal’' and the play he is making to the “liberal Democrats” who voted in the primary for Dr. Ralph W.
