(Central Press) Roosevelt Is Told Northwest Is Behind His Liberal Fight Minnesota Governor Gus h y in Praising President; Tydings Makes Charges; La bor Board Examiner Asks Action Against Ford Motor Company Hyde Park, N. Y„ Sept. 6.—(AP)— Governor Elmer Benson, of Min nesota. said today he had told Presi dent Roosevelt he heartily approved of the chief executive’s efforts to elect ‘•liberals” to Congress. The Farmer-Laborite governor, who talked with Mr. Roosevelt at the sum mer White House, told reporters. “I told the President I was very much pleased with his fight for liberalism. I hope more people will tell him the same thing. The whole Northwest is in agreement with him.” Benson, long friendly with the ad ministration, said he had discussed the Minnesota political situation with the President, and had mentioned the political set-up in Wisconsin. In the ’atter State, Senator Ryan Duffy, a New Deal supporter, faces Progressive party opposition. Senator Robert LaFollette, Progressive, Wis consin. has said he will support the Progressive candidate against Duffy, Democrat. The President returned here this morning after having underscored the name of Senator Millard Tydings on the administration's political “black list.” At Washington, meanwhile, the Na tional Labor Relations Board received a recommendation from one of its examiners to require the Ford Motor Company to reinstate 129 employees at its Richmond, Cal., plant. The re commendation was part of a report by Trial Examiner Thomas Kennedy, who said also that the United Auto mobile Workers, a CIO affiliate, had been selected by 1,120 of the 1,270 pro duction workers as their bargaining agent. He recommended that the com pany enter negotiations with that union.

Raleigh, Sept. 6. —Nomination of Cordon Gray for a seat in the State Senate, plus his present candidacy for president °f the North Carolina Young Democrats indicates clearly that, the comparatively young Win ston-Salem publisher has political no tions in a big way. Possession of political notions is, in itself, nothing to get very excited about, as many a man has t .am m large quantities, but when to these r. tions are added money and ability, then there’s a figure to be reckoned with in the political field. The general impression ir. Raleigh is that young Gray is endowed with the trinity mentioned. Certainly he has the money—hi s illustrious ances tors attended to that. Undoubtedly he has the notions—his every action shows it quite clearly. The consensus seems to be that he likewise has the ability. The fact that he was a Phi Beta Kappa at college raises a pre sumption that his mentality is above the average, and the apparent suc (Continued on Page Three.)

C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 6,1938 Revolt Dead In Chile May Be Near 100 Government Easily Crushes Abortive Up rising in Less Than Four Hours ***** Santiago, Chile, Sept. 6. —'(AP) —At least 61 persons were known today to have died and 58 to have been arrest ed in the rebellion by' a small group of Chilean National Socialists, which was crushed after three and one half hours of fighting. There was no of ficial report of casualties, but it was known that 61 bodies were taken to the morgue after the rebels were driven yesterday from a building of the National University and the ten story Workers’ Insurance building. It was feared additional deaths might eventually increase the list of fatalities to between 80 and 100. General Carlos Ibanez, former dic tator, and a candidate in the Chilean presidential election to be held next month, was held as leader of the uprising, with 57 others accused of conspiring with him. He was ex pected to face a courtmartial today. Although the revolt was believed to have been aided by extremists among Ibanez’ adherents, it did not have even the moral support of the major opposition parties. Most newspapers and senators representing the oppo sition popular front condemned it. The city has returned to normal, but Continued on Page Three.) Suspects In Meeks Kidnap Questioned - ♦ Marysville, Cal., Sept. 6. —(AP) Descriptions furnished by Mrs. W. R. Meeks, well-to-do rancher’s wife, speeded the hunt today for the kid napers who threatened her life dur ing a 56-hour period, but who were afraid to collect the $15,000 ransom they demanded. A few hours after Mrs. Meeks, 55, had described two of the three ab ductors, District Attorney Lloyd Hewitt sent investigators out of town to question two men he said were suspects in the case. The prosecutor declined to identify the men, say whether they were under arrest, or reveal where they would be question ed. “We are now working on several good leads,” said Captain E. W. Per sonius, of the State highway patrol. “The search will get into full swing today.” Mrs. Meeks, held on a lonely hill side, splotted with poison oak, was seized in he»* homo last Thursday ri*’.t by two men who bound her and her husband and drove her away in the rancher’s automobile. Meeks said they demanded $15,000 ransom on de parting, but after holding the wo man until Saturday night, they aban doned her and she made her way home early Suday. WEATHER FOB NORTH CAROLINA.

MAINE ELECTION. WILL BE HELD ON COMING MONDAY Fortlaild, Maine, Sept. 6. —(AP)— A Maine election campaign in which the New Deal figured largely, parti cularly in its reciprocal trade pro gram, jogged toward a .wind-up today. On next Monday, .two months be fore other states elect, Maine voters will select a governor, decide whether three Republicans asking re-election, or their Democratic foes, should sit in the United States House of Repre sentatives, and choose state and coun ty officers.

Hints’ counsel brought out today in his conspiracy trial that Mrs. Rose Wendroff, a star State witness, had talked only two weeks ago with her rackets-lawer - brother J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, who has tu-ned State’s evidence against tire Tammany dis trict leader. By this disclosure, made by Mrs. Wendroff, under the cross-examina tion of Hines’ chief lawyer, Lloyd Stryker, the defense sought to sug gest that Davis might have coached his sister to substantiate his earlier testimony against the accused politi cian. Davis, in his old lush days, acted as “mouthpiece” for the Dutch Schultz policy racket, to which Hines is ac cused of having afforded political* “protection,” and the disbarred law yer’s story against Hines has been one of the most important yet brought out by the prosecution. Mrs. Wendroff acknowledged that she had seen “Dixie” at her mother’s home, and also previously while he was in prison. She had “talked” with him, but, she volunteered, “not con fidentially.” In her testimony for the State, she had identified a SSOO check made out to “cash,” which she said she had taken to Hines at her brother’s direc tion—and this check, the prosecution claims, was part of the “pay-off.” Stryker had begun his cross-exami nation of Mrs. Wendroff with ques tions apparently designed to suggest to the jury that her testimony must be considered in the light of her af fection for her brother. But the wit ness refused the suggestion that sho was “Dixie’s intimate confidante.” Artificial Creation Os Life Is One Step Nearer BY STEPHEN McDONOUGH, Associated Press Science Writer. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 6. —'(AP) — The artificial creation of life in the laboratory was one step nearer reality today as the result of a new kind of research developed by a Columbia University Nobel prize winner. Dr. Harold Urey told the American Chemical Society, meeting here, that he had found a method of “tagging” chemicals so that the mechanism of organic Chemical reactions could ba determined precisely. Previously, such reactions have been among the major mysteries of Czech Controversy Ignored Entirely In Hitler Address At Nazi Nurnberg Congress 300,000 Troops Os France Estimated On German Borders Frontier Area Talks of Little but Mobiliza tion on Wartime Foot ing There Maginot, in the Maginot Zone Northeastern France, Sept. 6.—(AP) — Tens of thousands of troops and thousands of tons of military equip ment arrived in northeastern France and vanished into the Maginot line today. a France’s border population talked of little else besides the callirtg to the colors of an estimated 300,000 reser vists to “watch for trouble from over there.” “Over there,” to Frenchmen in the Maginot zone means the German side of the frontier, where the new Sieg fried line was manned with a strong force of Germany’s crack troops. In the main streets of Metz, Ver dun, Nancy and other Maginot zone centers, there were fewer troops visible than usual. The answer was that all leaves were cancelled, and that the troops remained in the un derground fortifications and gar risons of the Maginot zone. Troop trains brought thousands to these centers, but most of them drop ped off at tiny hamlets which are only dots on tourist maps, but of vital importance on military maps. “He,” that means Adolf Hitler in the frontier zone, “would think a long time if he knew what waits under these fields,” said an officer near the border. The highways and byways of the area showed travelers who knew .h-SMKr'&L .V&i* foi that France’s north eastern frontier was on a war foot ing. Whenever civilian motorists stop ped on the roads in certain regions, armed soldiers suddenly appeared from the middle of apparently desert ed pastures and tersely order the travelers on. “We only warn you once,” the sen tries say. Americans In These Times War Scared By CHARLES P. STEWART Centra! Press Columnist Washington, Sept. 6. —If a general war breaks out in Europe about now. Americans will have a much clearer idea of the calamity’s proportions than they did in 1914. When Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo, having personally spent several years in old world countries and being somewhat familiar with the ticklishness of the situation amongst them,- the tragedy struck me as news of capital impor tance. But I couldn’t persuade the managing edtior of the San Francisco Mewspaper I then was working for to issue an extra edition. He said he might have been willing to do so if the Austrian emperor’s son had been “bumped off”, but he did not consider it worth while for a mere nephew, even though next in line for the throne. Shortly afterward Austria sent to Serbia her ultimatum —virtually tho initial declaration of the world con flict’s beginning. The Berlin corres pondent of one of our big American news associations cabled 139 words on the subject to his New York head quarters office, and promptly was re .(Continued on Page Five) chemistry. Only six out of many hun dreds were definitely known, but with the new method, it was believed by chemists attending the meeting, all will be definitely known, and then practically any organic substance can be readily synthesized, including per haps all of those which go to make up the living cell. Dr. Urey, who received the Nobel prize four years ago for his discovery of “heavy” water, told the chemists that he traced the behavior of chem ical reactions by substituting “heavy” oxygen for ordinary oxygen in various chemicals before starting an experi ment.

Committee counsel asked the court for a writ preventing Judge Paul Schaeffer, in charge of the grand jury inquiry, from “interfering” with the legislative inquiry. The counsel said the judge’s order impounding evidence constitutes an “unprecedented usurpation of author ity,” and “cannot be regarded other wise than as a wilful attempt to in b/fere with th € conduct of the House investigation.” Gaston Court Clerk Admits Big Shortage Gastonia, Sept. 6. —(AF) —D. E. Morrow today submitted to the Gas ton county commissioners his re signation as clerk of the superior court of Gaston county, after having made full admission to County Audi tor Claude Dent of a shortage in his office of approximately $6,500. County authorities said Morrow was planning to make restitution, if pos sible, and pointed out that in any event the county is financially pro tected by Morrow’s bond, held by the Maryland Casualty Company. Promptly accepted by the commis sioners, the resignation was forward ed to Resident Judge W. F. Harding, of Charlotte, of the 14th judicial dis trict, and Judge Harding requested to name a successor by Saturday. Morrow has served as court clerk here several years, having been ap pointed to serve out the term of the late S. C. Hnedricks, and having later been elected to the office. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY * Results Os Concessions Are Awaited Praha Government Fears Resentment of People to Concessions to Germans; Hitler Denies Any Intention of Pact With Foreign Power Nurnberg, Germany, Sept. 6. —(AP) —Reichfuehrer Adolf Hitler ignored Czechoslovakia in his proclamation today to the tenth annual Nazi con gress, disappointing anxious European statesmen who had hoped for an ink ling of Germany’s intentions in cen tral Europe. Almost his whole 5,000-word pro clamation dealt with inner conditions of Germany, particularly economical ly, which the fuehrer assured his fol lowers was so healthy that the nation will “be without worries for food for years to come.” Through the voice of District Dead er Adolf Wagner, who read the fuehrer’s proclamation in congress hall, Hitler, repudiated any intention of forming a pact with foreign powers. “I have never had nor have this in tention,” the chancellor declared. The statement was cheered thunder ously. Instead, he declared, he was offering the people a "greater Ger many”, referring to the absorption last March 13 of Austria, and the union of "six and a half million Ger mans who today spiritually unite here stronger than ever in a great indissoluble community.” Among the diplomats assembled was Hugh Wilson, United States ambae (Continued on Page Three.; Election Row For Congress To Be Hurried Raleigh, Sept. . 6. —(AP) —Attorney General Harry McMillan said today he expected to docket the State Board of Elections appeal from a court decision ordering certification of W.

He was riding in a machine driven by Miss Mildred Gaydon, 25 when the vehicle swerved from a boulevard and struck a pole. The count suffered severe lacerations of the forehead, and a possible fracture of the skull, and his right leg was broken. Miss Gaydon, a cigarette girl in a night club, was slightly bruised.
