The squadron of 23 fast bombers, the best Italy has, piloted by the 20- year-old son of the Italian premier, and 22 other prominent airmen, was believed to have made its inaugural at tack in a bombardment of Valencia.

Believe Submarine Destroyed. The secret of the identity of the latest submarine attacker lay within a twisted hulk on the sea bottom off the coast of Spain—provided the raid er, which attacked the British de stroyer Balillisk, had been within a half mile of one of the numerous depth bombs launched to blast it apart. London and Paris were convinced that Premier Mussolini was doing All he could to maneuver himself into a bargaining position on the “volun teers” issue by pushing for an insur gent victory over the Valencia repub lican government before winter sets in. But this course seemed very likely to stiffen the hitherto “courteous” Anglo-French approach to get II Duce’s legions out of Spain. A draft of the proposals is to be submitted later to the sub-committee of 13, and, if approved there, to be then presented to the full advisory committee, which in turn would re port to the League Assembly. The effort to call together the nine powers earlier had been snagged by determined Chinese and Russian op position in a conference on the con flict.

Observers expected the justices to announce next Monday whether they will consent to pass on questions rais ed as to the eligibility of their new colleague. Senator Robert Reynolds of North Carolina, said he favored a special session of Congress in November, provided it is restricted to consid eration of farm legislation. “But if we are not going to con fine ourselves exclusively to farm leg islation, a special session would be worthless,” he added.

Loss of $3,215 Shown For Month’s Operations, President Crowell Informs Hoey BETTER THAN JULY AND AUGUST, 1936 Shortage Due Entirely To Rents Paid for Hire of Freight Cars for Moving Scrap Metal for Export; Immediate Increase In Revenue Likely Raleigh, Oct. 5. —(AP) —Governor Hoey said today the Atlantic & North Carolina railroad had a loss of $3,- 215.96 on its August operations, hut still showed a profit of $14,890 for eight months of the year. The State owns a majority of the stock in the corporation owning the railroad. President H. P. Crowell sub mitted the financial statement to the governor. Crowell pointed out August operat ing revenues were up ten percent over July, and 15 per cent over August, 1936, but that operating expenses and taxes increased. The net loss during August, Crowll said, was “due entirely to rents paid for the hire of freight cars in the movement of scrap metal for export.” The debit balance on the item for August was $3,933.41, he said. He attributed the improvement in August business largely to movement of tobacco, and said tobacco continu ed to move during September, and that scrap iron began to move again. “It is expected September and Oc tober will show increased revenues,” Crowell said.

FOR WORLD EFFORT TO RESTORE PEACE Positive Endeavors To Pre serve Peace Urged by Roosevelt in Chicago Speech PLEDGES~AMERICAN HELP IN ATTEMPTS Violations of Treaties In World Today Creating State of International An archy from Which There Is No Escape Through Mere Neurality Chicago, Ocf.. 5. —'(AP) —President Roosevelt bitterly arraigned aggres sor nations before the bar of world opinion today and called upon peace loving countries to join in a “concert ed effort" to restore international tranquility. Speaking out formally and aggres sively on foreign affairs for the first time in months, but withholding any definite proposal for an international conference or invocation of peace pacts, he asserted bluntly, in dedicat ing the outer link bridge, here: “There must ibe positive endeavors to preserve peace.” He said America, determined to stay out of war, would not remain aloof from these efforts, and, as if in re ply to those who have been urging an American neutrality proclamation, declared: “The peace-loving nations must make a concerted effort in opposi tion to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane in stincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neu trality.” Without mentioning any nations by name, it was clear his indictment of aggressors for '‘rlefinitq” violations of agreements embraced the Sino- Japanese conflict, the Mediterranean submarine attacks, outside interfer ence in the Spanish civil war, and possibly went as far back as the Jap anese invasion of Manchuria and Italy’s Ethiopian campaign. The President, near the end of the longest and most significnat speech of his current coast-to-coast trip, as serted America was “determined to keep out of war, yet we cannot in sure against the distrous effects of war and the dangers of involvement.” SPANISH REBELS IN NEW FORWARD MOVE Advance Through Rain and Mist To Point Nearer the Gijon, Gov ernment Coast City Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier, Oct. 5 (AP)—Spanish insurgent col umns, moving through rain and mist on the Austrian front, occupied a hill and lake region On the Covodonga front today, consolidating their bases for the push on Gijon, some 30 air miles to the northwest.

That completed the insurgents will be ready for a combined march west ward toward Gijon. The government forces on the Arago front rushed work on fortifications. MALONEIS BORAH’S DRAWBACK Had He Run in 1936, G. O. P. Would Today Be In Much Better Shape By CHARLES F. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 5. —R Republican whom no one mentions as a possible G. O. P. standard bearer in 1940 is Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. The reason why he is not suggest ed is not far to seek. He will be 75 in June of that year, just about the time the party will be holding its na tional convention. And 75 is old for a presidential nominee. If he should chanpe to be elected, think what a Methuselah he wotild be at his first terra’s end! —to say nothing about a second one.
