HENDERSON’S POPULATION 13,873 TWENTY-FIFTH year JAPS KILL HUNDREDS IN BOMBING CANTON REBEL CHIEF NEAR CAPTURE IN MEXICO IN SAN LUIS WILDS Cedillo Is Hidden Some where in Bushes Eight Miles Northwest State Capital CARDENAS TROOPS PRESSING SEARCH Observers at Scene Think It Is About Over, and Pre dict Collapse of Eight-Day Rebellion With Capture of Cedillo Himsejlf at Any Time Now San Luis Potoso, May 28.—(AP) Swarthy rebel chieftain S. Cedillo was hidden somewhere in the bush eight miles northwest of this state capital today, closely pursued by Federal troops after two narrow escapes from capture. Four followers who escaped with him by plane from a hideaway ranch northeast of Palomas, when surprised yesterday by Federal troops, were re iiablv. though unofficially, reported to have been captured. The soldiers of President Cardenas, beating back and forth through the hush-covered hills, declared the cap ture of Cedillo himself was imminent. \ hiuh army officer expressed the belief Cedillo tried to escape from the net by working northward toward the United States. Observers at the scene asserted laconically “it’s about over,” and said that with capture of Cedillo his eight-day rebellion would collapse quickly. His two fast transport planes had fallen into government hands. One was found abandoned in a cornfield eight miles northwest of here. From it Cedillo and his four followers had fled. The other was cap tured by a onetime chief of the gar rison at Cedlllo’s estate.

HANCOCK mm TOBACCO GROWERS Relates Conversation With Roosevelt Approving His Grading Act Lillington, May 28—Entering the home stretch of his campaign to win the nomination to the United States Senate in the primaries next Satur day, Congressman Frank Hancock this afternoon discussed the problems Os tobacco growers and told them that “in the dark days of 1933, when our warehouses closed on account of the low prices, I was in Washington work ing day and night for North Caro lina farmers, while Senator Reynolds was touring Russia.” Advocating further improvement in the tobacco inspection service, in the passage of which he took an impor tant and prominent part, the Oxford legislator declared that it was through the amendment he sponsored that “the entire expense of this service is borne by the government and not one penny is assessed against the grower, the warehousemen or the buyer.” “The tobacco inspection act is your government’s response to a vital need which exists today on our auction to bacco markets for some real measure of protection to the tobacco growers in the sale of their crops’,, Hancock said. “The need for that protection”, he explained, “arises out of the ex cessive speed with which tobacco is sold and the inequitable and unequal prices which result from rapid sell ing. “Why should North Carolina’s chief money crop of labor he sold in such haste and hurry? Who benefits from such a program? The farmer certain ly -does not! All of us- who have stud ied this important question know that tobacco has too long been sold in con fusion out of which a few have grown verv rich and many have 'been left struggling for the barest existence.

Says Utilises Commissioner , Is Ignorant If He Misses Facts Dally Dispatch Barcan, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 28.—Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, opponent of Stanley Winborne in the primary for utility commis sioner, has fired back at the incum bent commissioner in the disputed matter of whether or not there have been “write-ups” of power company assets during Mr. Winborne’s term of office. In a letter to this bureau, Mr. Grady said: “I notice that the afternoon papers quote Mr. Winborne as denying that there had been any write-ups in the value of utility properties in this State during the past 19 years. Mr. Win .'borne thereby shows a surprising ig norance of what has been going on and demonstrates that his chief duitesi have been as a filing clerk for the public utilities operating in North Carolina. “If Mr. Winborne will refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s report on the Southern Public Utility Com pany at page 211, he will find full de tail of the 1936 write-ups of the assets of the Southern Public Utility Com pany at the time it was merged with the Duke Power Company.

Solons May Pension Mules But Not An Aged Librarian By CHARI.ES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, May 28.—A campaign is afoot in Congress to pension army mules. In these motorized days not many mules remain in our military service. Still, a few are left, and it does seem a shame, as they grow old and feeble, to send them to glue factories. More over, a mule is quite a long-lived ani mal. A s handful of veterans yet sur vive from an earlier period, when mule power had not been so general ly superceded by gasoline. These su perannuated “critters” lead miserable existences, mostly hauling junk wagons, underfed, feei'ole and mani festly unhappy. There is a deal of sentiment on Capitol Hill in favor of a small ap propriation to care for such ancient, faithful servitors. Why Not Pension Here?

Spain, May 28.—(AP) Eight low-flying planes bombed Bar celona heavily this morning. The raiders were clearly visible in the blue sky as they roared through a terrific blaze of anti-aircraft fire. The bombardment lasted f\fty mjniYes, and was concentrated in the southern part of the port city. Immediate reports on casualties and damage were not available. Nine tri-motored insurgent -bomhers also raided Valencia, but no casual ties or damage was reported. Spanish government officials said Major Julian Troncoso, former insur gent military governor of Irun, who spent seven months in a French jail for complicity in an attempt to seize a Spanish government submarine at Brest, France, had been killed in ac tion. Hendayei, 'France, (reports, mean while, said insurgent dispatches told of entire government divisions being shot to pieces in futile attempts to storm the defenses of Tremp, vital hydro-electric power center on the Catalonian front. In this sector, the government for days has been strug gling to recover some of the ground lost when insurgents hammered up to the Catalon|an border in their great drive earlier in the spring. Putman is nearly 77. For nearly 40 years he has been in charge of the Congressional Library, and as able a worker as Uncle Sam ever had on his payroll. Dr. Putman has reached a time of life at which he would like to retire. A librarian’s job, however, is not high ly remunerative. The doctor cannot afford to quit and sacrifice his salary unless he is pensioned. I would not say that a pension for him is very vigorously opposed in Congress, but it is not very strongly urged, either. Anyway, it is not voted. Army mules seem likely to beat him to it.
