Raleigh, August s.—The election in Catawba today will do far more than decide whether or not that western county shad have liquor stores —it will develop a trend, perhaps destroy an up-to-now political axiom, and even determine whether the perennial booze issue is going to bob up in the 1939 General Assembly. Chairman Cutlar Mloore, of the State ABC board, today forecast that if Catawba votes for stores, not less than ten other western counties will follow its example before the first of next year. He a.so said that should the county favor control by a decisive majority, not even the most arid of the Drys will bring up the li quor issue next January. For several years it has been taken as true, almost without need of de monstration, tht western counties are for legal prohibition and will vote solidly and overwhelmingly dry. The few efforts made to find the facts have, in general, confirmed the theory. Mecklenburg, for example, defeated a control proposal despite a control (Continued on Page Five) Police Slay Fugitive Os Flordia Pen * * Detroit, Mich., Ayg. 6. —(AP) Police of Suburban Dearborn today killed one man and captured another whom they quoted as confessing that they both were fugitives from a Florida chaingang they had escaped by killing a guard.

(12:30 a. m., eastern standard time), and bombed the Tumen-Rashin railway, 15 miles northwest so Yuki. The Rashin railway is a vital line which parallels the Korean border and connects the seaport with Kirin and Hsinking, Manchoukuo. It was the first time Soviet Rus sian planes made so intensive a raid upon Korean territory, across the disputed finger of territory from Siberia, which has been the source of repeated incidents since July 11. Communication on the railroad was reported partly interrupted. The situation was believed to have taken a grave turn, as the Japanese northern Korean army communique declared Japanese retaliation was on ly a question of time as a result of this afternoon’s bombings. No Japanese planes rose to meet the Soviet attack on the railway an Associated Press correspondent saw 20 planes engaged in a dogfight in the direction of Changkufeng.

Policy To Latin-America Is Wise Move By CHARLES 1\ STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Aug. 6. —Uncle Sam shows first class judgment in having decided upon a State Department “cultural division’’ in preference to a governmentally backed radio program of Yankee propaganda in Latin America. The Latin Americans are very sen sitive. They are flattered by foreign interest in their various countries, but they -resent foreign attempts to in fluence them unduly. The United States did, for years, try to exert undue influence. We did it mighty clumsily, too —often forcibly, in fact. And it got us thoroughly dis liked. if not outrightly hated. The Pan American Union’s system was all right. Its policy was one of inter- American acquaintanceship, study and neighborliness. Our stupid diplomacy, however, undid the Pan American Union’s good work rather faster than the Union could accomplish anything. As It Was.
