(Central Preaa) Benes Quits Presidency Os Republic Czech Chief Resigns Office in Face of Re cent Denials He Would Step Out Prague, Oct. i—(AP) —The resigna tion of President Benes. of Czecho slovakia was officially announced to day. The resignation of the little states men was not unexpected, although it had been denied several times re cently that he intended to step down. Benes became president of Czecho slovakia in December, 1935, succeed ing the founder of the republic, the late Thomas G. Masaryk. Meanwhile, a revamped Czech gov ernment started work on economic •some 200 tactical questions, the armv shrinking daily as foreign armies march in, on a stable basis. The most pressing need was for the $50,000,000 loan promised by Prime Minister Chamberlain of Great Britain. This the dismembered country hoped to get soon for the loss of industrial areas struck a violent blow at its economic structure. Financial experts surveyed what probably' would be left after the ful fillment of German, Polish and Hun garian, claims to minority districts and, after plebiscites determine dis position of other regions. Harris Again Has Delay In Tobacco Suit Raleigh, Oct. 5.—(AP)— Judge W. C. Harris, in Wake Superior Court, ord ered a continuance today until Octob er 25 of a hearing in a suit to contest the constitutionality of the Federal farm act, in so far as it applies to penalties on tobacco sales in qxcess of quotas. The case was continued last week until October 11,,and the new change was made, Judge Harris said, due to difficulty of serving pap ers on all parties in the action, and because W. A. Lucas, of Wilson, coun sel for the warehousemen, is busy with his duties as chairman of the State Elections Board. About 300 new farmer-plaintiffs have joined in the action, making some 1,000, and the suit is against around 250 warehousemen.

Hobson Again Defies Board; Won’t Answer Washington, Oct. 5. —>(APi —Howard Hopson, the utility magnate, refused flatly today to answer questions ask ed him at a Securities Commission hearing, and the proceedings develop ed into a stormy series of arguments. Hopson was for many years the dominant figure in the Associated Gas and Electric system. The hearing was concerned with what, if any. re lationship there was between his old group and the Utilities Employees Se curities Company.

LOCHNER (Copyright 1938, by The Associated Press) Berlin, Oct. 5. —(AP) —A foreign office spokesman said today that the international commission supervising cession of the Sudetenland to Ger many was confronted by new difficul ties in delimitation of the fifth zone of occupation and “the question of reparations for injustices inflicted by the Czechs on the Sudetens since 1918.” As the commission resumed its dis cussions today, the spokesman indi cated progress might be difficult from this point on. “Hitherto, it was easy, as the four zones (to be occupied by the German army before October 8) were already fixed at Munich, and only certain technical details remained,” he said “ The fifth zone will prove more diffi cult. Also, there is the question of reparations for the injustices in flicted by the Czechs upon the Sude tens since 1918.” Previously an inspired source close to the foreign office indicated such reparations would be demanded of Czechoslovakia just as soon as the Sudetenland was completely in Ger man hands. To the Munich accord was attached a map showing the first four zones ceded by Czechoslovakia for speedy occupation by the German army. Oc cupation of the first has been com pleted or is under way. Occupation of the fourth, to begin tomorrow, is to be finished Friday. Then, the accord said:. “The remaining territory of pre ponderantly German character will be ascertained by the aforesaid interna tional commission forthwith and be occupied by the German troops by October 10.” From Nazis in a position to know (Continued on Page Five) Chamberlain Asks Freeing Os Hostages Premier Tells Parlia ment Britain Is Seek ing Liberation of Cap tured Czechs London, Oct. 5.—-(AF)—Prime Min ister Chamberlain told the House of Commons today Britain was seeking the release of, “certain Czech offi cials in frontier districts,” and Czech residents in Germany who had been imprisoned in Germany as “hos tages.” Opening the third day of the Com mons debate on his third power ac cord of Munich, Chamberlain said the government had received reports such officials and residents were held dur ing the occupation of ceded territory. He said the government was unable to estimate the number of persons in volved, but had instructed the Bri tish representative on the interna tional commission supervising the cession “to press for the release of any such hostages as soon as pos sible.” The goverhment’s domand for a vote of confidence for the bargain by which Chamberlain averted a Euro pean war was placed before the Com mons by Sir John Simon, chancel lor of the exchequer, who introduced this motion: “That this house approve the policy of His Majesty’s government which was averted in the recent crisis, And support their efforts to secure a last ing peace.” The House is not expected to vote on it until tomorrow.

The Senate vote was 286 to 4. The Chamber had voted the decree powers by 331 to 78, with 204 ab sentions, after a stormy all-night session, in which the premier met much more Opposition than in the previous debate on approval of the four-power pact of Munich. The Chamber approved that ac cord for dismemberment of Czech oslovakia to save Europe’s peace by 535 to 75. Daladier did not pin the life of his cabinet on the Senate vote, since his demand for'decree pow ers was assured of easy accept ance.

Bragg Fort Bragg, Oct. 5. —(AP) —The army’s most extensive air raid de fense produced clashing claims today from air crops attackers and coast artillery defenders of the Fort Bragg base. On crystal clear nights the nation’s most powerful military searchlights have failed at times to converge their beams on bombers flying two or three miles high. “Blue” defenders have scored in the game of hide and seek when war planes of the invading “black forts” from Langley Field, Va., were unable to escape from the line of fire of anti aircraft weapons or even spot guns in the ring around Fort Bragg. Concerned with finding answers to readjustments to put the republic, high command is awarding competi tive scoring.

The vote was 331 to 78, with 204 deputies refusing to vote, notably different from the 535 to 75 ap proval with which the Chamber yesterday acclaimed Daladier as a savior of peace. Daladier now has to push his dictatorial powers bill through the Senate. New Davidson Board Really In Hot Spot Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 5. —Davidson county’s newly appointed election board is on the hottest spot in North Carolina to day. Os course, nobody knows exactly what the new board has been told to do—whether it has been directed to make a pro forma or nominal inves tigation of the Deane-Burgin vote there in the July primary, or whether it has really been granted full and free rein to use its own discretion as to the “final” and “legal” returns it will make to the State Board of Elec tions. If the former is the case, the new members possibly aren’t doing much worrying, all they’ll have to do is write out a nice little report saying that the State board’s previous find ings of fact were entirely correct. They’ll then certify the Davidson vote in totals which will give C. B. Deane of Richmond county, the eighth con gressional nomination by 23 votes. On the other hand, if they are sup posed to make an independent inves tigation, think of the pressure they’ll have to withstand in Davidson coun ty. They’ll be besieged and beseeched to “save the party" and to “save the good name of our county.” The pressure will come from all sides and from people with real in continued on Page Five) SALVATION ARMY’S CHIEF FOUND DEAD Fayetteville, Oct. 5.-—(AP) Major Fred .Wilkes, in charge of the Salvation Army offices here, was found dead in bed today.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 5. —Balkan dip lomacy in Washington is not much reassured by Hitler’s declaration that Germanly populated districts in Czecho slovakia are all he wants in Europe. The impression at such legations as Yugoslav ia ’ s and Rumania’s is that, once the Nazis have digested the Sudeten region (and it is doubted that the di gestive process will take long if the Teu tons succeedd i n gobbling that mor- Wilhelm sel), the' next bite will be the rest of Czechoslovakia; then Rumania and Yugoslavia; then European Tv: “Berlin to Bagdad” was rre-Vv I War Germany’s motto — i r helm’s cry.

Raleigh, Oct. s.—Even without waiting for the WPA-backed program of public works to get under way, the construction industry appears to be well under way toward quite a .boom in North Carolina, according to iteips recorded in the press from all sections of the State. For example, the North Carolina Statfe Employment Service News lists no less than ten projects either under construction or about to begin—the sites stretching from Murphy to Wil liamston. Projects listed were: Murphy: The Tennessee Valley Au (Continued on Page Five) pected of having adopted it. This theory is without prejudice to a be lief in a strong German appetite for the Soviets’ Ukraine. However, Bel kan observers surmise that the fueh rer will concentrate on swallowing their peninsula first—its countries be ing comparatively smallish, and Rus sia a harder proposition to tackle. They Can’t Say It. Os course the little Balkan legations and the Turkish embassy don’t ex press these apprehensions openly. They’re as silent as death for pur poses of quotation. Yet, as conveyed in confidential whispers, the existence of their fears is unmistakable. What About 11 Duee? Moreover there are hints that Hit ler is playing Mussolini for a sucker.
