Dispatch Annual Edition Heralds Marketing Season HENDERSON’S I POPULATION 13,873 | twenty-fifth year leased wire service op 1 the associated press. FRENCH, GERMAN TROOPS FtCE EACH OTHER Community Unites In Market Edition As Goodwill Effort Scores of Merchants Buy Space To Extend Greeting to Growers; Edition Goes to Thous ands of Extra Read ers ; Many Advantages Listed Today's annual marketing edition of the Daily Dispatch brings to thousands of readers in the Hender son territory a message of greeting and good will from the business peo ple of Henderson. It is intended to show the advantages of selling to bacco and cotton in this city and of trading with the merchants. Scores of concerns have bought space to carry their own message to the trade territory, and to tell at the same time what Henderson has to of fer to its friends, guests and visitors. This edition is an annual affair with the Dispatch. Each season, about a week before the auction selling of to bacco begins, this paper is published and is sent to thousands of readers in the Henderson section in addition to the thousands of regular daily sub srribers to the Dispatch. As a rule merchants and other cocerns are liberal in their cooperation, anxious to contribute their share in extend ing a welcome to prospective sellers and customers. Every advertising firm is given also a story describing his own business listing the manager and sometimes the personnel, and tracing briefly the history of the establishment. This is information not contained in the ad vertising, and is an added effort to acquaint the reader with the people with whom he may do business when he comes to the city. The annual edition each year heralds the approach of the market ing seasons for both tobacco and cot ton, and all warehouses and the two ginning companies in the city send their messages through this medium. Readers are asked to look the edi tion over from front to back. There are six sections, each with eight pages, a total of 48 pages in all. SCOTTWORKSFOR MARKETING PLANS Agriculture Commissioner Wants System In State Improved By W. KERB SCOTT, Commissioner of Agriculture for North Carolina Tobacco represents more than 50 per cent of the total farm cash in come from all sources, but like most all other farm commodities, it has been relatively neglected in our mar keting program. With the appointment of W. P. Hed rick, who has had two decades’ ex perience in the tobacco industry, Tar Heel farmers have been given a full time tobacco marketing specialist by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture for the first time in his tory. Th e cooperation between the buy er and seller .together with the co ordination of approved marketing me thods as promoted by the depart ment’s marketing division, have re sulted in substantial returns on the investment in a tobacco marketing specialist. Offhand, it would seem that farm ers, over the long period of time they have devoted to the culture of flue-cured tobacco, would have per fected their own marketing. But due to the constant changes and improve ments in the manufacture of tobacco products, growers have not and could not have been expected to keep pace with the complex processing prob lems. We are satisfied that our tobacco manufacturing changes of. the to bacco industry. And the tobacco specialist is abreast with selling and marketing phase of the departments markets division is essential to the economic welfare of our farm life. As changes in the demand for to ba: :co in its various uses are made, the information is passed on to the grower with the view of helping him to meet thp demands of the manufac turer and deliver a product that will command the maximum price. Schools to aid the farmer in better preparing his tobacco for market are among the contributions of the de (Continued on Page Two.} Himitersmt tJathi Hispatrii Sustained Flight Record Disastrous Syracuse, N.

Raleigh, Sept. 7—North Carolina’s Young Democrats, in convention as sembled at Durham» this week, wiT. probably take an indirect slap, at least, at President Franklin D, Roose velt’s so-called “party purge.” Which is not to say that the Y. D’s will grow so bold and rebellious as to adopt resolutions directly condemn ing FDR for his efforts to oust Mil lard Tydings, Walter George, and others from the national legislative councils; but in most of the speeches there are almost certain to be back hand cracks at the presidential plans and policy. This is made almost certain by the identity of the speakers who will make the “key” addresses. For instance, there’s Bob Thomp son, the governor’s secretary, who will sound the keynote at the Dur ham sessions. Governor Clyde R. Hoey hasn’t said so publicly, but. there’s absolutely no doubt in any one’s mind that he is opposed to the “purge” and it’s dollars to dough nuts that Bob will voice some such sentiments somewhere in his. talk. Not that Bob is going to have any such instructions from the governor, nor that he hasn’t any opinion of his own, but on this particular subject his views and those of Clyde R- Hoey are exactly the same, and it’s hardly likely he’ll pass up a chance ta air them. And then there’s Josiah W. Bailey, who beyond any shadow of a doubt would be one of the most determin edly sought “purgees” if he were up for re-election this year. The senior senator from North Carolina is down for an address and it’s certainly not too far fetched to deduce that Josiah W is likely to have something to say on the -subject. As a matter of fact, one of the lively question is just how anti-Roosevelt is the Y. D. C. gathering going to be. Hoey To Ask For A. & N. C. Rail Changes Raleigh, Sept. 7.— (AP)—Governor Hoey said today he would “make sev eral recommendations” to the board of directors of the State-controlled Atlantic & North Carolina Ra.-lroad when they meet at Goldsboro tomor row. , “I have not quite completed my re commendations, and some data I want is not yet in hand, but I will make some suggestions tomorrow, said the governor. “I will not reveal until they are presented to the board. R. O. Self, chief clerk of the Utili ties Commission, will be the State s proxy, and Attorney General Harry MoMullan will be the governor’s per sonal representative. The State owns controlling stock- in the corporation, opertaing the rail road from Goldsbor to Morehead City, and H. P. Crowell, a former Maine railroad man, is president and gen eral manager. There has been much discussion that Crowell might he re moved, but recent dispatches from New Bern, headquarters of the rail road, said it was probable he would be retained. . ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. HENDERSON, N. C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 7 ,1938 McCarran Is Winner For U. S; Senate Nevadan Renominat ed Over Two New Dealers; Opposed Roosevelt Measures Reno, Nevada, Sept. 7. — (AP) —Sen- ator Pat McCarran, who opposed President Roosevelt’s Supreme Court and reorganization proposals, appear ed today to have recaptured the Demo cratic nomination by an overwhelm ing majority from two avowed New Deal backers. While an estimated 60 percent of the vote in yesterday’s primary count ed when the tally was stopped until late in the day, 199 of Nevada’s 262 precincts gave McCarran, 11,127 votes; Albert Hilliard, Reno attorney, 3,303; and John Worden, State health ooard secretary, 581. Thanking Nevada Democrats “for a splendid response to a call that de manded independence of thought,” McCarran said, “I will sustain and support the executive of the nation as I have sustained him in the past when he was right, and will oppose him when he is wrong. I will be true to my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.” Both Hilliard and Dr. Worden cam paigned as one hundred percent New Dealers against McCarran. Former Senator T. J. Oddie was un opposed for the Republican senatorial nomination. E. P. Carville, of Reno, increased his lead over H. A. Harmon, of Las Vegras, for the Democratic guber natorial nomination. Returns from 190 complete and incomplete precincts gave Carville 5,795, Harmon, 4,776, and Charles I. Richards, of Reno, for mer congressman 1,183. Pope Strikes At Fascists’ Race Policy Vatican City, Sept. 7. —(AP) —The statement that fascist racial doctrine “concerns a great and serious error which reaches the steps of the altar, touching Catholic doctrine,” was pub lished today in the Vatican newspaper in an account of a talk by Pope Pius. The pontiff was not quoted direct ly, but the newspaper presented this summary of his remarks yesterday to 400 Italian school teachers at Castel Gandolfo, his summer home: “His Holiness mentioned the card inal points of racialism set by uni versity teachers. To these points were appended a series of comments and it is not known whether they were made by the writers of the points or by those who published them. “Nevertheless, the ideas of these comments have been repeated and spread everywhere through the Ital ian and foreign press, and are tak ing ground everywhere. It concerns a great and serious error which reach es the steps of the altar, touching Catholic doctrines.” Fletcher Will Not Use Any Cracking Down Methods In Enforcing Wage-Hour Act Daily Dispatcn Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 7—There will be little if any, “cracking down” in enforce ment of the Federal wage-hour law under the direction of Major A. L. Fletcher, who is to quit his State post as commissioner of labor next week to assume charge of the com pliance division of the national wage hour administration. “I’ll be just a small town hoy try ing to apply on a national scale the same principles I’ve used in North Carolina for the past six years” the modest major told your correspond ent today. “I’ve never believed m cracking down and getting' hardboiled in the enforcement of this State’s labor laws I’ve found that a spirit of cooperation conciliation and education pro luces far better results —so that s the spirit with which I’ll tackle what I know will be the hardest job I’ve ever ha<T in my life.’ The major believes that the orack ud of the entire plan symbolizes by the Blue Eagle. He is determined that no such fate shall befall the wage Power Shortage If War Comes Feared By Roosevelt, He Says Hyde Park, N. Y., Sept. 7.—(AP)— President Roosevelt said today the possibility of an electric power short age in the »event of war constitutes “a serious threat to the national se curity.” This statement was made in let ters designating members of a special committee Mr. Roosevelt named to seek “definite ways and means” of providing emergency power facilities. The President named the following as m*embers of the investigating body Louis Johnson, assistant secretary of War; F. A. Delano, of the National Resources Committee; Basil Manley, of the Federal Power Commission; Czech Plan Is Presented To Sudetens Concessions Made German Minority for Fourth Time; Near Autonomy Given Praha, Czechoslovakia, Sept. 7. — (AP)—The text of the new conces sions by which the Czechoslovak gov ernment hopes to end its dangerladen dispute with the autonomy-demand ing Sudeten Germans was formally, handed to a leader of the Sudeten, party today by Premier Hodza. The ceremony took place in an un certain and pessimistic atmosphere. In the absence of the Sudeten Fuehrer Konrad Henlein, who left last night to attend Nazi Germany’s party rally at Nurnberg, Hodza made the presen tations to Ernst Kundt, Henlein’s lieu tenant. This marked the fourth set of “sug gestions” made by the Praha govern ment in recent weeks in the hope of composing the quarrel which —because Adolf Hitler has proclaimed himself protector of the Sudetens —is troub ling all Europe. The first three were directly or indirectly rejected by the Germanic majority. It wa sofficially admitted that the “fourth plan” offered virtually com plete self-government in local affairs to three German districts to be set up under a projected system of cantons; that officials would be chosen from various nationalities within the state in proportion to population; that lo cal police would be locally com manded, and that, in so far as prac ticable, languages of the minority would be placed on a basis of equal ity with those of Czechs and Slovaks. It was understood the three Ger man cantons would be in North Bo hemia, with a population of 800,000; West Bohemia, population 700,000, and a narrow elongated border region with a population of 500,000. (Czechoslovakia’s German-speaking population is, roughly, 3,500,000, and the Sudeten party asserts 90 percent of these follow its banner.) hour administration. “But for the breakdown of enforce ment and the horrible mess made of that phase of the program, all the best parts of NRA would still be in effect,” he said. The commissioner thinks the wag\?- hour measure will stand up success fully under tests of its constitution ality, but foresees continuing worry and trouble over the question of what industries and businesses are inter state in character so as to come un der terms of the act. “Senator Josiah William Bailey pre dicts that the whole thing wi l . l be declared unconstitutional within a few months,” he said. “He’s a mighty good lawyer ,bui this is one time I hope the erudite gentleman is wrong—l think l he is, anyhow,” he continued. “And he’d better be, or I’ll find my self without a job in a few months”, he added with a chuckle. During his long term as labor com missioner, Major Fletcher has stead fastly pursued a policy of exhausting every other remedy before haling any employer into court for violations of Harold Ickes, secretary of the inter ior, and a member of the National Power Policy Committee; Charles Edison, assistant secretary of the navy, and William O. Douglas, of the Securities Commission. In letters to members of the com mittee, the President said that re ports to him regarding the supply of electric power in event of a national emergency “have given me much con cern.” tone reports were made by the War Department and the Federal Power Commission in response to a request of the chief executive last March. Washington developments inc’uded: Governor Martin Davey, laying re sponsibility for any major short Take Dodge Body From Lake Water Little Current, Out., Sept. 7. (Canadian Press)—A fisherman re covered today the body of Daniel Dodge, heir to the Dodge automo bile fortune, who drowned in Geor gian Bay three weeks ago after having been seriously injured by a dynamite explosion. Wes Ryder found the body at al most the same spot where Dodge jumped or fell from a motor boat August 15. The explosion occurred at Dodge’s summer cottage, 20 miles west of here, and Dodge dis appeared into the water as he was being taken to a hospital. His bride of two weeks and one of Dodge’s camp employees were injured in the explosion, but both have recovered. The body was found as Captain Simon Lake, noted submarine in ventor, was the scene ready to search with his new type sub marine in the treacherous waters. Orange Vote On Liquor Is To Be Close Dally Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 7.—Orange voters are today casting their ballots to de termine whether their county shall become the 28th in the State to legal ize sale of liquor at county ABC stores, with most observers predicting a decision by a small margin, no mat ter which side wins. Some "drys” are lulling themselves into inactivity in belief that an an cient statute would prohibit the sale of liquor within four miles of Chapel Hill even should controllers win the county; but leading prohibitionists here, including some of their smartest tacticians and lawyers, privately say they do not believe this is true. One of the “big shots”, who would not allow himself to be quoted by name, said he is convinced that the ABC law of 1937, which contained the usual repealer clause, would super sede the old law and that liquor stores can be established in Chapel Hill if the county goes wet in today’s electioi, Would be prophets and even con firmed limb climbers are more than ordinarily chary of making any pre diction of the result, all admitting that there are so many factors to be considered that any long range esti (Continued on Page Two.) • the State’s labor laws. He has on every occasion patiently explained the situation to those who were acting contrary to the statutes and has urged compliance and cooperation. As a result, he has brought few cases into court, but has almost in variably won those hg did bring. This is the policy he expects to take with him to Washington and apply to enforcement of the wage hour measure. He is to be put in com plete command of the national com pliance division, he understands, and he expects complete liberty of action in his sphere. “I shall try my best to be fair to all sections of the country,” he said, “but there’s one thing certain, I shall see that North Carolina industry and labor get a fair shake and that theie is no discrimination against this State and the South in enforcement of the law.” As for the State Labor Department after his department, Major Fletcher is confident there will be no change in policies and progress. “Forrest Shuford has been work ing with me for six years, “he said, “and I am certain he will continue along the same lines as those on which we have been working. I have always had his hearty cooperation and assistance.” PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY comings in Ohio’s administration of old age pensions on the Social Se curity Board itself, defied the board to cut off Federal pension grants. , “Frankly, I do not believe you dare deprive these aged citizens of one half their scant living to support your political maneuvers,” Davey said in a letter to A. J. Altmeyer, board chair man. “It would be an act of cruel tyranny which not even a political fakir could justify.” The board opened a hearing yester day on whether to suspend Federal grants to Ohio’s old age assistance pro gram, because of allegations the State administration did not meet Federal requirements. Ohio officials request ed to attend did not show up. Hitler Says Conscripts Aid Defense Labor Army Wield ing Spades, Especial' ly in West, for Secur ity of the Reich. Nurnberg, Germany, Sept. 7. —(AP) —Adolf Hitler told Germany's con script-labor army today that its spades, “being wielded in the east north and south, but especially in the west,” —on France’s borders—were playing a vital part in detense of the Reich. “You are fighting for the defense of the Reich and its independence,” he told 40,000 labor conscripts as he stood in a pouring rain. His speech was the climax of the annual labor rally, main event of the third day or the annual Nazi party congress. Most of his audience interpreted his reference to the work of labor bat talions, “especially in the west,” as a public admission that they have been perfecting Germany’s fortifications facing France. Many considered it an indirect reply to France’s calling of reserves into her Maginet line. “Your spade creates new soil be sides securing the old,” Hitler declar ed. “Your spade is being wielded for securing and maintaining the Ruch.’ Before speaking, Hitler stood for 90 minutes to review the march past of the 40,000 youthful labor conscripts. lOBACCOISCIjIEF 70 Percent Os Flue-Cured Crop Grows In State; Worth $143 Millions BY W. H. RHODES. Chief Statistician, N. C. Department of Agriculture In 1937, North Carolina produced nearly 70 per cent of the total flue cured tobacco crop of the United States, and the State’s crop was over 36 per cent of the nation’s total fer all types, according to the estimates of the crop published by the Depart ment of Agriculture on July 11. The cash income to North Carolina tobacco growers during the calendar year of 1937, amounting to over $143,- 000,000, was nearly 53 per cent of their total cash income from al sources ihus, since about 1927 the farm pic ture in North Carolina has been un dergoing rapid changes in the adjust ments of crop values. In 1910, the State’s cash income from both cotton and tobacco totaled only $66,543,000, of which tobacco re presented only 12 per cent. In 1919, the year following the close of the World War, the cash income for the State from these two crops totaled $343,376.- 000, of which tobacco represented over 49 per cent, In 1927, the comparative income from tobacco had increased to 55 per cent of the total of both crops, and in 1937 the tobacco income was over 78 per cent of the total of the two crops. From 1910 to 1927 the State’s cotton crop was its chief money crop. Since 1927, the two crops have exchanged places in this respect This rapid increase in tobacco in come is due primarily to the sharp in crease in demand for cigarette types, which began during the World War and has remained on a higher level than other types since the war.

FIVE CENTS COPY Huge Armies Are Placed At Frontier 350,000 French Sold iers Alone on Their Side of Border; Reser vists Discharged Only Three Weeks Ago Re called; Espionage Campaign Is Begun Stiring-Wendel (At the French-Ger man Border), Sept. 7.—(AP) —Both France and Germany clamped a “rigorous anti-espionage” campaign on top of their military activities on opposite sides of the frontier, where two armies awaited today the out come of the Czechoslovak crisis. In Germany the campaign result ed in a rigorous border control. Travelers crossing from Saarbrucken to Stiring-Wendel told stories of be ing searched by German frontier guards, and some said they were forced to strip for the search. In France, a counter-espionage cam paign was marked ’by the sudden ap pearance of large numbers of road workers, who could be seen through out the zone of the Maginot line, France’s border defenses, busily dig ging up and filling in country roads, which apparently had no need of re surfacing. Many counter-espionage agent 3 were posted near entrances to the Maginot underground fortifications. Their job was to check and watch each passerby in a car, on a bicycle or afoot. TRAINED INFANTRY SENT INTO LINES ON FRONTIER Paris, Sept. 7.—(AP) —A new mili tary order issued by the v/ar minis try today sent trained infantry re serve troops into the Maginot line at the frontier opposite Germany for a 21-day period. The order notified reservists, their exact number not determined, to re port immediately for duty at the same concentration points where they fin ished their regular two-year military service only three weeks ago. The instructions were received shortly after the government announced its “requisition” of the port of Marseilles placing the most important Mediter ranean inlet for French-African troops and supplies under military control. The order was said to concern only infantry fortress troops of the second class, the lowest military class. (The Maginot defenses generally are said to be at normal garrison, with 100,000 men, but officers in the zone say that 350,000 would be a conservative esti mate of the garrison’s present streng th.

Funeral arrangements were uncer tain for the count, who renounced his claim to the throne abdicated by his father, Alfonso XIII. Jack Fleming, Covadonga’s secretary, said a cable gram from his father in Rome was so indefinite he had asked for further in formation.

She escaped with slight bruises but* the count suffered cuts of the head, a broken leg and a possible fractured skull. His physician attri buted death to traumatic shock.
