Has Been Tried CHINA STATEMENT ANSWER TO HITLER Might Agree to Truce, How ever, on Condition It Is Guaranteed by Powerful Third Power and That China’s Territory and Sov ereignty Are Retained (By The Associated Press). Widely divergent attitudes of China and japan toward participation of out s;d* is in any negotiations to end their undeclared war presented a major obstacle today to collective efforts to get the waring nations together to talk peace. While a Japanese spokesman de clared it was highly doubtful Japan would accept mediation from the con ference at Brussels, the Chinese gov ernment announced it would not deal directly with Japan until ever yother effort had failed. However, delegates to the Brussels conference drafted a new offer to Japan of their friendly offices in an effort to bring peace to the Far East. Japan has declined to attend the Brussels conference called under the nine-power pact of 1922. China’s statement today, in which she refused to enter direct negotia tions, was interpreted as the central government’s repiy to persistent re ports that Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany might initiate negotiations for an armistice. Chinese government officials tem pered the statement, however, by say ing they might agree to an uncondi tional truce on two grounds: 1. That it be guaranteed by a pow erful third power or group of powers. ‘Continued on Page Four.)

At their closing session, the 1,- 200 educators adopted a resolution ap proving Federal aid to teachers. H. B. Marrow, Johnston county school superintendent, who present ed the resolution, said, however, ad ministration of the schools should not be taken away from the State. The resolution urged the State’s de legation in Congress to give “serious consideration” to a pending bill for Federal financial aid. Such aid is needed, it was contended, to equalize the educational opportunities of the country’s people. Ray Armstrong, Goldsboro school superintendent, was named president of the association, succeeding George Wheeler, of Sanford. R. M. Dowd, of Durham, was named vice-president; Mrs. J. O.

He arranged to devote most of his time before the special session begins November 15 to conferences with House and Senate leaders and to preparing his opening address. Among his conferees probably will be Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, who will discuss anti-trust legislation one of the five points on the Presi dent’s program. Congressional committees who have already started work have been work ing largely on two subjects likely to figure much in the debate, crop con trol and tax revision. Preparation of farm legislation has stirred up an argument between those who want to compel regulation of production and those who favor a voluntary program. President Roosevelt has not disclosed his views. The chief executive did not list tax revision on the special session pro gram, but a widespread campaign has developed both in and out of Con gress to modify quickly the corporate undistributed profits tax. A viewpoint held by many legisla tors was carried to the White House by Senator Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina, yesterday. After a talk with the President, Byrnes, told reporters the corporate tax should be modified or repealed. He said it had hurt fall business and did not produce suffi cient revenue. Senator Byrd, Democrat, Virginia, one of the leading foes of the tax when it first was enacted, returned to the capital today ready to join in the war on the levy.

(AP)—-China’s main defenses west of Shanghai were put in serious jeopardy, foreign mili tary experts declared today, by the landing of a formidable Japanese force on the north shore of Hankchow bay. Japanese said large army units aim ed at encircling Shanghai and vicinity came a shore from the bay. They said the units were about 30 miles south of Shanghai at its nearest point. A Japanese army spokesman declar ed the new units, “fighting every inch of the way” for about 18 miles, to night had reached the south bank of the Whangpoo river, about 25 hours after coming ashore.

STEWART! Central Press Columnist Washington, Nov. 6.—The Italian government needs money so badly that it recently resorted to a capital ’evy to get more of it, dispatches tell us. Nov/, a capital levy must be very unpleasant to capital. A tax on income is disagreeable enough. Even the few dollars that 1 have to pay on mine makes me ache. Still, I pay it, since there is no escape and more or less forget it, as water on its way over the dam. But I do try to see that a small reserviorful ac cumulates behind the dam, and I feel that that really belongs to me. If the government undertook to (begin dip ping into this little puddle, I am bound to say that I would consider it an overdoing of matters. I can, be cause I must, stand taxation on what I am getting, but what I’ve got (or gotten, if one wants to be technically grammatical) seems to me to be mine, permanently. A Sizeable Amount. S I can sympathize mildly even with multi-millionaires, who resent the ideas of having the tax collector go “back of the returns” so to speak, to soak them for 10 per cent more (that is the rate mentioned in cables from Italy) than the collector himself had considered reasonable in fact, oppres sive. Ten per cent is a sizable chunk, by the way—enough to be disorganizing to business. An inheritance tax is a little dif ferent. I myself do not ibelieve in letting a mere heir profit, indefinitely, from an estate that he had nothing to do with creating. Too Much of a Load? The original creator, however, per haps was doing something publicly useful. Frobably it is undesirable to over discourage him. Putting the brakes on him is ju dicious in some cases, doubtless, but stopping him may not be such good judgment. Now, William S. of Gen eral Motors maintains that capital’s taxation has nearly reached the point of confiscation. I am prepared to be lieve it. If my small income is op pressively -“socked,” it seems likely that big business’ income, with its (Gootinued on Page Six.) "weather FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

Supreme Court To Decide On Review “Sitdown ” Strikes Washington, Nov. 6 (AP) —The Su preme Court today undertook to de cide whether to review constitution ality of sitdown strikes. The administration urged the Su preme Court, meantime, to reverse previous decisions and hold that uti lities should be valued for rate-mak ing purposes on a “prudent invest ment” basis.

S. Government In Cooperating With Journey to America; White House Attitude Was Anything But Enthusiastic Paris, Nov. 6. —(AP) —A member of the Duke of Windsor’s suite said to day the feeling within the duke’s en tourage that United States officials “took a lukewarm attitude toward hi* proposed American tour was one of the reasons for the decision to “post pone” it. Close advisors of the former Eng lish king were said to have fait there was a “lack of enthusiasm” on the part of Washington officials. This, coupled with American labor leaders criticisms, was considered to make it advisable to call off the journey. A spokesman for the American Em bassy said Ambassador William Bul litt already had called on the duke and duchess to say goodbye before the postponement decision was made known. The duke, it was said, sent a letter to the Department of the In terior at Washington asking “sugges tions” for his itinerary. The reply, which mentioned several public workj projects, was said to have* been con sidered by the duke’s advisors as “per functory.” Some members of the duke’s suite were represented as having felt the couple should have been offered a State dinner at the White House in stead of a planned luncheon, from which Mrs. Roosevelt was to have been absent. The Windsors now are resolved Jo “forget America’’ for the time being, a member of their party declared.

The jury did not recommend mercy, making the death penalty man datory. The jury spent about two and a half hours in actual deliberation since re ceiving the case last night. Mrs. Hahn would be the first wo man ever executed in Ohio. She appeared in the court room ner vous and distraught, her .blonde hair disheveled, and twisted a handker chief. John Cranda, lone male member of the jury, read the verdict. As Mrs. Hahn heard the death decree, she (Con iaued on Page Eight.) asked the Supreme Court to rule that the government need not pay interest on gold bonds called for redemption in advance of maturity date,. Other cases before the justices at their weekly meeting included two ap peals by the National Labor Relations Board requesting compliance with ord ers issued against the Pennsylvania Greyhound Lines, Inc., and the Dela ware-New Jersey Ferry Company.
