Geneva, Sept. 11 (AP)—The threat of an Anglo-French warship patrol off Italy's western coast emerged omni ously today from the anti-piracy con ferences at Nyoi*. Informed persons at the Nyon par ley, where nine European powers, Italy and Germany self-excluded, were trying to uproot the potential sprouts of’a second World War, said Premier Mussolini would be invited to patrol the Tyrrhenian Sea against pirate sub marines. But if Italy declines to take part in the impending anti-piracy protocol, it was said, British and French war craft would be sent to the Tyrrhenian. This grim force of naval police would be empowered to sink any pir acy-bent submarine that pokes its periscope above water. Italy’s entire western coast fronts on the Tyrrhen ian. It was explained, however, France and Britain, sponsors of the Nyon gathering, still hope strongly II Duce would join the international police force. The Italo-German counter-proposal that the problem of submarine piracy be laid before the old Spanish non-in tervention committee in London has been rebuffed by France and Britain.

All Nations Have Every Right To Be Alarmed; Scottsboro Appeal Reaches Supreme Court Again; Slight Drop in Deficit Is Shown Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 11. —(AF) — President Roosevelt said today the Far Eastern and Mediterranean sit uations had made the people jittery all over the world, and rightly so. Talking at a press conference at the summer White House, the Presi dent agreed with a reporter’s obser vation the Sino-Japanese conflict and the submarine “piracy” in the Medit erranean had created a widespread psychological feeling of nervousness. The reporter used the word “jittery” and the President accepted it, adding the people were justified in feeling this way about present conditions. He said this was the reaction all over the world, not only in financial circles, but in every home and every democratic government. Meantime, at Washington, Hay wood Patterson, one of the nine Ne groes involved in the celebrated Scottsboro case, apeapled to the Su preme Court in an effort to escape a 75-year prison sentence imposed by Alabama courts for an alleged attack COOPER BACK WITH ATTACK ON STATE Wilmington Mayor De nounces Centralization of Authority In Raleigh Daily Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 11—“ I believe in coun ty rights and in city rights. I ob ject to there being welded under the dome of the State House a political machine that can arbitrarily control the local destinies of the masses,” cli maxes Wilmington’s vigorous Mayor Thomas E. Cooper in a characteristic attack on centralization of govern ment in “North Carolina Municipal News,” official organ of the N. C. League of Municipalities. In the “guest editor” column of the publication, Mr. Cooper launches a tremendous blast which sounds very much like a keynote of a Statewide campaign which may end with his bearing the standard of “home rule” in the 194° gubernatorial race. “During the last decade the trend toward centralization of government has steadily increased until today it presents the grave possibility of the the extermination of all local author ity,” begins the effervescent Mr. Coop er. Other pointed barbs aimed at what he recently called the “Raleigh Gang” are: “A city government knows its prob lems far better than any bureaucrat can hope to know them ...Local gov ernment in North Carolina today is. not a government by consent of the (Continued on Page Six.) on a white woman.

American Policy Embar rasses “Warring” Pow ers Elsewhere By CHARLES F. STEWART Central Press Columnist V/ashington, Sept. 11. —America’s neutrality law is not working at all satisfactorily from America’s own standpoint. Its framers, however, are having the fun of seeing that it is proving exceedingly embarrassing to much of the remainder of the world. Britain and France cannot conven iently go to the mat with Italy and Germany over the Spanish situation. If they do, it is on the cards that Uncle Sam will declare the existence of a state of war between their re spective alliances, making it at least tremendously difficult for them to get needed supplies from this side of the Atlantic. True, they still will be per mitted to buy from us if they pay cash and carry their purchases home in their own vessels. And Britain, at least, has the vessels. None of the European countries can afford to pay much cash, however. In the Far East, Japan is in the same fix. It has ships to transport what it needs from our Pacific ports to its own shores, but it hasn't the cash to pay the bill at our waterfront. No Help Here. The British and French also want American support in the Orient. The British, especially, have huge interests there which Japan threatens. Continued on Page Five.)

To Send Envoys Here, To England and France To Win Backing for Their Cause; Jap Advance Pre ceded by Fierce Aerial and Artillery Bombardments (By The Associated Press) Sino-Japanese situation at a glance: Japanese advanced two miles in a major attack on Chinese positions North of Shanghai. Chinese repulsed invaders in hand-to-hand fighting at Yanghong, one point along the line of attack. Chinese rushed reinforce ments to bolster their lines. On the North China front, Japanese announced fall of Machang, 30 miles south of Tientsin, after a 24-hour battle. Japan planned lo send three special envoys to win support for the Japa nese cause in the United States, Great Britain and France. CHINESE EXCEL OVER FOE IN HAND-TO-HAND FIGHT Shanghai, Sept. 11—(AP) —A smash ing drive inland from the Yangtze river today brought Japanese and Chi nese hand to hand, locked in one of the most important battles of the Sino-Japanese undeclared war. Japanese legions swept up from the river to push China’s troops back to Yanghong, where the Yangtze and Whangpoo rivers join. For 24 hours the Japanese steadily hammered the Chinese back until Japan had one-third of Yanghong, but later they were forced to give up the section under terrific Chinese attacks. An aerial and artillery bombard ment projected the Japanese move ment slowly and inexorably forward. When the attackers reached the city, however, they were forced to retire after hand-to-hand fighting in which the Chinese seemed to have superior ity. Once the push*toas halted Chinese summed heavy reinforcements in an effort to regain their lost positions. Casualties in the battle were the heaviest of any since Shanghai hos tilities broke out.
