HENDERSON’S POPULATION 13,873 TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR HITLER RIDES i TRIUMPH TO HEW STATE Government Chiefs Seek Cotton Man Increase! in Domestic Consumption Desired, Rather Than Larger Loans to Growers On Their Surplus; South ern Senators Demand Latter Washington, Oct. 3.—(AP)—Govern ment farm experts are studying ways to increase domestic cotton consump tion as a means of cutting down the nation’s enormous surplus of the com modity. It was reported authoritative ly that one of the proposals under consideration contemplates subsidies for textile manufacturers who agree to turn out cotton goods for sale at reduced prices to relief and low in come :'amilics. President Roosevelt already has di rected the Agriculture Department, oflicials said, to invite leaders of the producing, marketing and manufac turing sections of the cotton industry to consider a program based on the domestic subsidy proposal at a meet ing here soon. Meanwhile, with an estimated sur plus of more than 13,000 000 bales in existence, cotton belt senators have been clamo: :r»g for the government to increase its present cotton loan rate of 8.3 cents a pound to 11.8 cents the maximum allowed under the farm law. Chairman Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, of the Senate Agriculture Committee, leading the fight for big ger loans, contends the South will go bankrupt unless its cotton income is boosted. Production control programs have not prevented accumulation of the huge price-depressing surplus. Administration ■ leaders contend so lution of the problem depends upon the greater use of the staple in this country. They have opposed any in crease in the loan rate on the ground it would hold domestic prices above the world level, and thus discourage world exports. Air Maneuver Is Begun At Fort Bragg Fort Bragg, Oct. 3. —(AP) — The army today opened a spectacular two weeks test of its theories, methods and means of defense against war time air raids. Fayetteville and other towns will be '‘blacked out” into complete darkness for four hours one night, officers dis closed, in one measure to balk the simulated aerial invaders.

BABSON, Copyright 1938, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. London, England, Oct. 3.—Roger Babson, in Europe to investigate bus iness and war conditions, believes that the passing of the war crisis means that the recent barrier has been removed and that the long await ed business boom will now start. He said the latest turn of events justified his advice of the late summer to busi ness men to forget Europe and other sensational headlines and to pay. more attention to their own jobs. Business in the United States, Bab son continued, is 10 percent above the low in June. This gain has come about in the face of the most depressive ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGIN^. Rail Experts Admit Rise in Car Loadings Rut Say Total Is Still 2 0 Percent Under Year Ago; Stacy’s Board Is Hearing Tes timony Given Washington, Oct. 3.—CAP)—Counsel for railroad brotherhoods contended today that increasing business indicat ed there was no need for the fifteen percent pay cut the railways have proposed. Cross-examining a witness for the joint carriers conference committee, Charles Hay, the brotherhood’s legal staff, brought out before the President’s railroad fact-finding board that car loadings for the four weeks in September exceeded those for any other period this year. The witness. Dr. J. H. Parmelee, countered with the assertion that, while this was true, car loadings still were 20 percent be low the similar period in 1937. Par melee is director of the Bureau of Railway Economics of the Associa tion of American Railroads. Ford Knew Peace Ship Was Mistake & By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 3. —This latest war scare distinctly recalls Henry Ford, and his celebrated peace trip. It’s a safe bet that Ford pondent. So was William C. Bullitt, our ambassador to France, then as a reporter. So was Emil Hurja, the New Deal’s chief statistician; he classed as-a college student then. So was Jud son King, now director of the Na tional Popular Government League; he was a peace delegate. And there are a few other survivors, including Ford himself, and Rozsika Schwin mer, who inspired the expedition. Louis P. Lochner was one. He was the tour’s publicity manager. Today he’s a news correspondent in Germany— a good one, too. We correspondents fought him like wildcats on that cruise, because we insisted on treat ing it as a colossal joke and he want ed it handled seriously. He’s a cap able newspaper man, for all that. Germans Friendly. The funny thing is that Germany, of all countries, was quite friendly to the peace tour. Who’d have thought it? Warlike Germany!—in sympathy with so pacifistic an attempt! Yet it’s understandable. The peace party traversed the Fatherland in the very early 1916. At that stage of the game the Germans had done most of the winning. They were quite willing to “take their gains” and quit fight ing (with themselves as victors), if the Allies would admit that they were (Continuer on Page Five.) headlines. The purge, the war threat, and business men’s pessimism have failed to halt the uptrend. With the war hurdle out of the way, American business should now rise steadily. Babson predicted that busi ness activity will top the year-ago level sometime between now and Christmas. He reports that there is great joy in London and that business has already picked up over there. Commodity prices were kept down by fear that the government would : fix prices. All such fear, he says, has now been removed so that business • can go on as usual. Improvement in i business in England and the Con , tinent further brightens prospects in s the United States.

Industry Os North Moving Toward State Daily Dispau-u Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 3. —Northern indus trialists are more than ever .interested in North Carolina as a site for locat ing their plants, J. T. Anderson, in dustrial engineer of the Department of Conservation and Development, said today. Mr. Anderson had just returned to his office in Raleigh after a trip which took him to New York and the principal industrial centers of the New England states. Two chief factors have worked very recently in making Northern indus trialists consider locating elsewhere, he said. The hurricane which recently swept New England destroyed many indus trial plants and made re-building or re-location elsewhere imperative Many of the industrialists had already be gun to think of the advantages of moving South, but the emergency cre ated by the hurricane hurried them into immediate action. The second factor is the apparent settlement of the European crisis which, Mr. Anderson said, has increas ed optimism over business prospects everywhere. New business possibilities are seen by the industrialists, Mr. An derson said, and they are already be (Continued on Pag<e Four.) wiatheF FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

' > i 'Ov, “Never Will This Land Be Torn From The Reich,” He As sures Populace of Area Grabbed From Czechs; Rides 17 Miles Standing in His Automobile With the German Army of Occupa tion in Sudetenland, Oct. 3.—(AF) Adolf Hitler personally assumed pow er over this former Czechslovak ter ritory in a triumphant military pro cession today, and declared that “never will this land be torn from the Reich.” Following his armies through the heart of Sudetenland, he made two stops to accept guardianship of all Sudeten Germans and invite them to join “our march into a great German future.” At Wildenau, on the frontier, Su deten Nazi leader Konrad Henlein, symbolically handed the entire Su deten territory to him. At Eger, he was welcomed by cheering inhabitants and formally took the Sudeten capital into his expanding realm. Through the 17-mile ride from Wildenau to Eger, Hitler was ac claimed as a liberator. He rode the entire distance standing in an open automobile. The cortege moved slowly through lines of cheering people. Soldiers were stationed at intervals along the route. Two armored cars preceded Hitler and Henlein, who rode with him. Hitler spoke in the market place of Eger. “Over this Germanv, this greater Germany, Is this shield; its sword of protection,” he declared. Almost half of the six minutes of his speech was taken up by the crowds cheering and ‘helling” their "liberator.” “I greet not only you, but the entire Sudetenland, which in a few days will belong to the Reich,” Hitler told •,hem.
