JAPANESE NAVY TO BLAST UP YANGTZE RIVERJOHANKOW Warning Given of Deter mined Drive Up Mighty Stream to the Pro visional Capital FOREIGN SHIPPING ADVISED TO VACATE Only Foreign Ships in Yang tze Now Are British, Ame rican and French Gun boats; Some 40 Japanese Gunboats and Other Craft Ready for Action Shanghai, .June 11.—(AP) —The Ja panese navy served warning today that it planned to blast its way up the Yangtze river to Hankow, China’s provisional capital. All foreign shipping yvas advised to evacuate a 200-mile zone between Wuhu and Kiukiang in an effort to prevent possible international com plications. Kiukiang is 120 miles down the river from Hankow and Wuhu is 326 irulc.s from the provisional capital. The only foreign ships now in the Yangtze are British, United States and French gunboats. United States gunboats are at Nanking, Hankow and two other points. About 40 Ja panese gunboats and transports were reported up the river from Wuhn, taking part in the new drive. They were led 1 y the Idzumo, flagship of the Japanese fleet in China waters, which led the naval attack on Shang hai last year. The Admiralty announced in Tokyo a general drive on Hankow had been launched up the Yangtze, and that a marine party had landed and was in action. The Admiralty did not say where the party landed.

Czechoslovak Nation Is Armed Camp For Election Sunday; Germany Feared Praha, Czechoslovakia, June 11 — (AP) —Czechoslovakia made ready to day for the last of three Sunday mun icipal elections in an atmosphere of military preparedness and under-cov er diplomatic maneuvers. There was widespread expectation the turning point in the little post war republic's future relations with her boisterous Germanic minority and neighboring Germany would come Jn the next few days. A member of the Czechoslovak army’s general staff Major Rudolf Broz, in a radio ad dress on national defense yesterday, warned “any invaders would face a chain of machine gun nests along our borders.” The broadcast was made as large MONEY CHAIRMEN MAYBE NEW MEN Senate and House Posts Speculated on in Coming General Assembly Dally DlNiiatfh Bnr«*sii*. In the* Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, June 11.- Finance and ap propriation committees, the groups which to all practical intents and pur poses frame all the Stated taxing and spending laws, will have now chair men in both House and Senate in 1930; and in addition not one of these committees can possibly have as many as half repeating members. In the Senate there will be new chairmen for the very good and suf f'eient reason that neither 1937 chair man (E. V. Webb of finance and James A. Bell of appropriations) will tea member; while over in the House both 1939 chairmen (Victor Bryant of finance and Libby Ward of approp, nations) are candidates for the speakership and it is unlikely that cither, if and when successful, would name the other—though this possi l ,i ty is not so remote in view of the fact that the Durham and Craven legislators are still good friends de (Continued on Page Five.) PRICES FOR TRUCK DECLINE SLIGHTLY Raleigh, June 11 —With plentiful supplies of North Carolina truck crops on northern wholesale markets this week, prices declined moderately, the weekly price summary of the U. S. and State Departments of Agricul ture revealed today. Lambs advanced sharply at the be ginning of the week but lost ground gained when normal supplies were restored at mid-week, whereas, top hog prices at Rocky Mount hovered between 8.60 and 8.70 during most of the week and cattle showing evi dences of grass finish manifested weakening tendencies at most al. markets. —- ONLY DAILY NEWSPAP ER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. scale preparations were made to main tain order Sunday, when more than 1,000,000 Sudeten Germans will have the .opportunity to march to the polls as 8,170 communities ballot. About 1.880 of the communities are predomi nantly German. If recent trends are maintained an overwhelming solidar ity will be demonstrated by Germans for Konrad Henlein, Nazi-inclined party, while Czechoslovaks will show a rallying to the government policies. Much of the expectation of a new turn in events was attached to the fact both the Czechoslovak minister in Berlin and his colleague in Paris were in Praha conferring with Pre mier Hodza, Foreign Minister Korfta and President Edouard Benes. WEIS CERTAIN Os SENATE’S CONTROL ~ f Majority Favor County Li quor Stores, Based on Past Records Daily DlMpntch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, June 11. —County control forces appear absolutely certain to control the 1939 State Senate and thereby repulse whatever efforts are made by the United Dry Forces to overturn the present system of county option by means of a Statewide re ferendum. This seemed probable even before the primary voting, and now that the returns are in, the certainty appears that even more certain, and that’s good logic even if not good grammar. At the risk of mis-branding a sen ator or two—and your correspondent makes no claim to the infallibility of his ratings—here are twenty-five mem bers (half the total) who will almost surely vote against any drastic change in the present set-up. First: Jerry J. Hughes and W. T Halstead, both incumbents who voted wet last time. Second: W. B. Rodman, Jr., an in cumbent, and D. B. Fearing. Third: C.

June 11. —(AP) —New cen tral European danger signs today gave another headache to harassed British diplomats, continuing their search for means of insuring Spanish insurgest respect for their British merchant marine. Germany’s virulent anti-Czechoslo vak press campaign on the eve of Sunday’s municipal elections purturb ed officials as they prepared dossiers on bomb-shattered British freighters for Prime Minister Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Halifax, who are due back in London tomorrow after a holiday.

Great Britain, Belgium, Northern France and Netherlands All Feel Sharp Quakes DAMAGE IS LITTLE AND NONE IS DEAD Few Injured When Flimsy Houses in Belgium Are Shaken Down; Frightened Populace Streams From Homes and Factories; Lon don Is Swayed London, June 11.—(AP) —Great Bri tain, Belgium, northern France and the Netherlands were jarred at noon today by earthquakes that swayed buildings, toppled chimneys and made millions dizzy tor a few seconds. Damage apparently was minor and no serious casualties were reported. In Belgium, where the shocks were described as the severest in the na tion’s history, a few persons were in jured when several flimsy buildings collapsed in the first tremor. Frightened Belgians streamed from houses and factories in Brussels when the first series came, lasting from 10 to 20 seconds. Roof tiles crashed to the streets and many windows splin •.ered. A second milder tremor came two hours later. London observers said the quake’s epicenter was in the North Sea, some 25 miles northeast of London. It was felt particularly in the southern pro vinces of the Netherlands. A wall col lapsed in The Hague, and a book case overturned at the American Legation, but none was injured. London from “the city”, financial district, to the fashionable west end and the peaceful suburbs, swayed gently. In France the shock was limited to the northern section. Ridge Sees Board Deny His Appeal High Point, June 11.—(AP)— The Guilford County Board of Elections overruled a request by Major Edney Ridge, of Greensboro, unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomi nation to Congress from the sixth dis trict, to have L. J. Fisher, Jr., of High Point, ejected from the board as the investigation of High Point township's primary edecton of last Saturday opened here this morning. As the investigation began, Ridge charged Fisher, on the basis of what he said election records showed, with having voted twice here Saturday. An immediate probe of the. charge waj opened, and election officials and Mrs. L. J. Fisher took the stand to testify Fisher voted only once, and the second vote, listed erroneously in his name, was actually cast by h’.s wife. Chairman Edwin Pierce and W. E. Comer, both of Greensboro, the other two members of the board, unani mously refused Ridge’s request, fol lowing the testimony. Ridge said he would take his request for Fisher’s re moval before the State Elections Board. J. O. Atkinson, Jr., of Greensboro, who preferred the charge of “election frauds” against High Point township last Monday, was not present at the investigation this morning, but was represented by counsel. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY PAY DIFFERENTIAL OVER 30 CIS.

HULL CONDEMNS SALES OF BOMBERS Says Denunciation of Air Attacks on Civilian PopU”. lation Is Aimed at Ameri can Manufacturers as Well As Warring Factions in Spain and! China Washington, June 11. —(AP)—Wage- hour legislation, bearing flexible pay differentials above 30 cents an hour, received final approval of a joint con gressional committee today. A compromise draft of the legisla tion over which the committee has struggled for ten days, was pronounc ed acceptable to southern conferees. They had hinted at a filibuster. HUM. CONDEMNS SELLING OF BOMBING PLANES HERE Washington, June 11. —(AF)—Sec- retary Hull said today this govern-: ment’s condemnation of the bombing of civilians was directed at American manufacturers of bombing planes ~aa well as foreign powers. The .secretary predicted at his pres* conference that State Department pressure would discourage sales of such planes for use against defense less civilians. Noting recent department state ments condemning the bombing of civilians in Spain and China. Hull said the government’s present attitude was, of course, to maintain that posi tion and to say to everybody the Unit ed States condemned both the bomb ing and its material encouragement. Hull’s prediction that State Depart ment condemnation would discourage airplane sales to those who use bombs indiscriminately was made in reply to a question On whether the United States would frown upon all future sales of American planes that could be used for bombing purposes, or whether manufacturers would be en couraged to “pick their customers” Meanwhile, southern members of the joint congressional committee ap proved all but minor details of a com promise on wage-hour legislation, pav ing the way for the committee to finish work on the bill by nightfall. Other members of the group pre viously had indicated they would sup port the compromise, which provides for flexibility in minimum wages above 30 cents an hour. Congress’ tardiness in completing wage-hour and other important legis lation caused leaders to albandon hope of adjourning Tuesday night. They (Continued on Page Four.) Big Bomber Collapsed In Air In Storm Disintegrated at High Altitude, In vestigator Finds; Eight Were Killed Delaven, 111., June 11. —(AP) — A bombing plane in which a crew of eight perished yesterday “disintegrat ed” in the air during a storm, Major Roy Camblin said today on the basi* of a preliminary inquiry. Major Camblin headed an army board which began a formal inquiry today at the scene of the crash, a farm meadow two miles northwest of here. He told a coroner’s jury. “There is no doubt the plane disin tegrated in the air, either because it was struck by lightning or by stress caused by rough handling by the storm.” The major said a preliminary in vestigation failed to disclose any “real evidence” that a bolt of lightning hit the ship, a- Douglas B-18 bomber, car rying three officers and five enlisted men. A wing found about 200 yards from the main part of the wreckage was not seared by lightning, he said. The broken bodies of the fliers were removed last night to a field at Ran toul, 111. Captain Hugo Rush, who with First Lieutenant Samuel Stephenson and Major Camblin, is a member of the board of inquiry, said it was unlikely j the crash was daused by “structural failure” of the plane.
