PAGE TWO Bailey Fight In Senate Led Tar Heels' Conduct In Congress Just Ended (AP Regional Service) (By PAUL BARKLEY) Associated Press North Carolina Correspondent Washington, Aug. 24. (A*P)— Senator Josiah W. Bailey’s fight against President Roosevelt’s Su preme Court enlargement was an out standing development of the long congressional session from a North Carolina standpoint. His colleague, Senator Robert R. Reynolds, himself solidly behind the president’s policies, supported the court plan. But Bailey became one of the most outspoken opponents of the judicial reorganization measure. The scholarly senior senator, one time editor of a Biblical journal, took his fight to the press, the radio and for nearly two days io ihe senate f.’oor. “The victory Is Won. When the president’s plan finally was abandoned, Bailey solemnly an nounced, “the victory is won.” Short ly afterward, before the session s end, lie went home, admittedly a weary man. s . ~ , Bailey alsa struck against the ad ministration’s relief policies and sup ported a plan for financially able lo cal governments to shoulder a part of the cost. While the senate prolonged the court fight, house members from the « tate, nor called upon to commit themselves on the question, went ahead with their legislative programs. Representative Lindsay C. Warren of Washington sponsored legislation cheating a national seashore park on the northeastern coast of the state. The state’s representatives united to obtain a $4,500,000 appropriation for the Blue Ridge parkway, connect ing the Shenandoah National park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Moun tains National Park in North Caro lina after the house appropriations committee had recommended a reduc tion to $2,500,000. Boughton, Weaver Led. Representatives Robert L. Dough ton of Laurel Springs, dean of ihe state’s delegation, and Representative Zebulon V. Weaver of Asheville led the fight. The delegation backed a movement to establish a veteran’s hospital in the eastern part of the state. Repie sentative Graham A. Barden of New Bern and J. Bayard Clark of Fayette ville had bills proposing one in their district if a veterans’ administration board deemed an institution in that section necessary. Representative A. L.

Cooley of Nashville, who was made chairman of a special tobacco steering committee. Representative John H. Kerr of Warrenton and other members of the delegation backed farm legislation, Kerr’s interest being particularly to bacco and peanuts. Umstead On Naval Conference. Piloting a naval appropriations bill through the house, Representative William B. Umstead of Durham, sud denly proposed a naval limitations conference, a suggestion which stir red the house before it rejected. Doughton headed the joint congres sional committee which investigated tax avoidance and brought out pro posed legislation approved by 'the house without a negative vote. Representative Frank W. Hancock of Oxford, sought consideration of his housing bill, which was before congress as the session approached its end. Hancock and Weaver were among those in the state’s delegation who ex pressed themselves on the president’s court 'A-hey came out in its favor. Cooley also backed the plan, speaking sot it on the house floor. Battle Developing On 150-Mile Front t With 250,000 Men (Continued from Page One.) were evacuated aboard the liner Pres ident Pierce for Manila. The battle raged down the Whang poo and along the Yangtze. Japanese landed thousands of reinforcements. They were led by suicide detachments in the “white band of death.” The Japanese were driving in from the north to assault the Chinese left flank. Japanese army spokesmen de clared reinforcements they landed in the Woosung area yesterday and to day already had advanced at differ ent points from one to two miles. General Matsui came out of re tirement to take command of all Japa nese forces in the Shanghai area. Americans boarded the President Pierce after sailing down the Whang poo. For the first time United States officials decided the refugees should be convoyed by a warship. Meantime, Tientsin reported crack Chinese advance guards swept around both flanks of the Japanese army southwest of Peiping and struck sim ultaneously in an effort to pinch off the 30,000 Japanese troops immobi lized there by torrential rains.

Oscar Pitts, acting director of the Denal division, revealed today finger prints found in a stolen automobile believed to have been used by the kill ers “apparently corresponded with those of two escapees.

Hazelwood, former Butler university athlete, of Indianapolis, has been charged with the slaying of his stepdaughter, Gloria Hauser, 12. The girl, who had been criminally attack ed, was found dead at the foot of a deep ravine. The Haielwoods and Mrs. Hazelwood’s daughter had stop ped off at Hendersonville en route from Miami Beach, Fla., to their home in Indianapolis. pending a report from Washington. Charles Farmer, of the State High way Patrol, said every officer in that organization had been instructed to “keep a close watch for the escapees.” It was strongly intimated the suspects were among the seven long termers who broke away from the Caledonia prison farm last spring after kidnap ing two prison officials, making a getaway first in a prison laundry truck and after in commandeered au tomobiles.

The ten-day deadline for the meas ure, often referred to as the “minor four-fifth” of his judiciary reorgani zation program* expires at that time. Statutes allow him ten days after passage to act on a bill. Hull Pleads for Peace. Elsewhere in Washington a pointed public statement from Secretary Hull emphasized to Japan and China the United States view that world opin ion demanded a peaceful settlement of their dispute. Telling the two nations a threat of serious hostilities concerns all oth ers, Hull said, “We urge that they settle their differences in accordance with principles, which, in the opinion not alone of our people but of most peoples of the world, should givern in international relationships.” Chinese Are Known For Their Honesty (Continued rrom Page One.) told me in his pidgin English. He had, he explained, been a merchant. That is to say,, he had been peddling, on the street, a little trayful of oriental curios. A naval officer, he said, had bought his entire stock —I suppose to take home, as a trifling presents to friends in the Occident. Then he dis covered that he hadn’t the small change to pay for his purchase. Ac cordingly, he told 800 to meet him at his gangplank and .he would settle. 800 ariived there to learn that the officer’s ship had already sailed. 800 was ruined. He wanted to know what I thought he ought to do about it. i Stewart Advances Money. Os course I could not find his naval officer for him.

He admit ted that he wasn’t overcapitalized, but assured me that he did not pro pose to have me think that I had been Gim-flammed. '• After a matter of months I was ready to return to San Francisco. Chancing to meet 800, I told him so. “All right,” said 800. “I can settle with you now, in full,” plus interest. “No, Boo,” I said. “Some time I may come back here. If I do, I’d like to have a partnership in a business in China.” If I went back there now and 800 Yung Hoy still is alive, and I could find him, I’ll gamble that that China .man would recognize my claim on him.

It will gladly cooperate in any feasible plan presented, he told Mr. Grainger. State REA officials declare there are many difficulties in the way of rural electrification in the moun tainous re'fons of Western North Carolina. r lhey point out that there are almost innumerable small com panies now operating in the section, to the scattered nature of the popula tion and to the tremendous expense of construction of power lines across the towering peaks. The State Authority declares its willingness to do its best to further electrification in the west, but it is pointed out that it will likely be some years before any “dreams” of TVA power come true.
