Persons in high Fascist quarters said little notipe had been taken of the President’s broadcast last night: FOREIGN INTERFERENCE WILL NiOT BE TOLERATE! (By The Associated Press.)

Republicans To Contest Burgin After Election Procedure of Settling Eighth District Democra tic Row Challenged as Contrary to State Elec tion Law; Their Fight Will Fail, However Daily DUpntch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 27. —Having won a long-drawn out contest for the nomi nation, W; O. Burgin has still two, possibly three, big obstacles to hur dle. He must win at the polls over Republican Nominee John R. Jones, after which he will have another court fight on his hands before he can take his place in Congress as representa tive from the eighth district of North Carolina. If and ;when he has cleared these barriers he may find his seating dis puted when the House is called to or der in Washington.

France Seeks German Accord Intensive Democratic Drive Is On Particular Attention To Be Paid to Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh Dis tricts ' V* £- -V I i. —II—NS II i - Hally Dlfepau-fi Bureau, * In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 27.—Leaders of the State Democratic campaign, their minds finally relieved of the worry from an unended eighth district con gressiohal row, are planning an ac tive and vigorous drive right down the election home stretch and until the finish line is crossed with the vot ing of November 8. There apparently is no real anxiety over any Statewide candidate with, the election of all Democratic can didates regarded as already assured. However, State Chairman Gregg Cherry and his associates. are not let ting up in their efforts in behalf of United States Senator Robert R. Rey nolds and other members of the State ticket, although they are admittedly concentrating their most intense fire on the few doubtful spots in the State. The eighth is sure to get a lot of' attention. Already a district rally has' been called for Sanford on Tuesday, November 1, and many of the biggest oratorical guns of the party will go into action on that occasion. An analysis of the district’s vote for the past twenty years gives the Dem ocrats confidence they will win de spite the effects of the long congres sional contest. *| ’ The party leaders are also keeping wary eyes on the tenth and eleventh districts, where G. O. P. candidates have been known, on occasion, to win or come too close to winning for com fort on the part of the unterrified Democracy. Senator Reynolds’ speaking dates have been announced and it is signi ficant that all are for the West. They are: Thomasville, Oct. 31; Salisbury Nov. 1; Bryson City, Nov. 2; Char lotte, Nov. 3; Statesville and Smith field, Nov. 4; Lincolnton and Marion, Nov. 5 and Asheville, Nov. 7. State Board of Elections, refused to sign the board’s certification of Bur gin as the Democratic candidate for Congress. He has not made any state ment for publication that his action is a harbinger of court contest, but when he explained his refusal to sign, it became obvious that the G. O. P. is planning an appeal to the courts in the event Burgin beats Jones on No vember 8, a consummation extremely likely despite the outward optimism of Republicans that they have a chance in the Eighth. The Jones contentions will be a< least two-fold: First, that the State (Continued on Page Six.) ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA.

Stem Demand By Hungary Given Czechs ; Budapest, Hungary, Oct. 27. —(AP( —The Hungarian cabinet decided to day to send a new note to Czechosio kia on Hungary’s territorial claims, and observers predicted the message would be served in its terms. It was believed the cabinet, which met to consider Prague’s acceptance of the Hungarian plan to let Germany and Italy mediate their territorial ; dispute would demand occupation of ! undisputed areas in Slovakia at once. ' Such occupation would be by easy stages. Authoritative sources had said the ministers would act quickly to induce the Nazi and Fascist powers to press Czechoslovakia to withdraw her troops and permit Hungarian soldiers to enter the artias in question. Czechoslovak acceptance of the principle of arbitration was made known last night in a reply to Huu_ garian proposals of Monday. PRAGUE WAITS NEW TURN OVER ARBITRATION ISSUE Prague, Oct. 27 (AP)--Capitulat ing Czechoslovakia, facing new losses of territory to Hungary, awaited of ficial word from Budapest today on the next step in the arbitration of minority claims in Slovakia and Ruthenia. The controlled Prague press care fully refrained from publishing any recyrtion on the Czech answer last night accepting Hungary’s proposal to allow Germany and Italy to re feree future negotiations.

HENDERSON, N. C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 27, 1938 Daladier Tells His Party Congress Un derstanding Is Pos sible; Hints at Con ceding Germans Con tinental Aims; Would Sell in Colonies Marseilles, France, Oct. 27. —(AP) — Premier Daladier today told the con gress of his own Radical Socialist party that he believed Germany and France would come to an understand ing. j Addressing a packed auditorium, the premier declared that there “are powerful reasons for mutual esteem” between the two countries, “which must lead t<r loyal collaboration.” ■ \ Before Daladier 'spdke, members of Parliament attending the congress said France already had expressed willingness to drop-her mutual assist ance pact with Soviet Russia in order to reach an agreement with Germany. Declaring that French policy would “correspond to the elements of the new situation” in Europe,. Daladier let it be understood that the government would seek a greater outlet for the nation’s energy in its colonial empire, rather than dispute continental lead ership with the Nazi state. He also asserted his belief that France would find an entente with Italy. “Whether it is a question of her relations with Germany or with Italy,” Daladier said, “France is con vinced that if each side thinks only of the sole defense of its national in terest, accords can be reached which will bring the most useful contribu tion to peace. “When I heard the heart of the German people beat at Munich I could not help thinking, just as I thought at Verdun in the middle of the war, that there are powerful reasons for mutual esteem between the people of France and Germany in spite of all the difficulties, attd they must lead to loyal collaboration.” Before he went to the rostrum, Daladier told the government com mittee of the party in a private meet ing: “I am going to outline my policies for the future. I am determined to go through with them to the bitter end. When the congress ends,. you must tell me you are with me.” 12 Road Projects Given Approval By State Road Board Raleigh, Oct. 27. —(AP) —The High way and Public Works Commission approved today the lows submitted I October 4 on twelve of 14 road pro jects. Proposals for constructing a bridge near Mount Holly were reject ed, and award of the contract for an overhead crossing at Fair Bluff, in Columbus county, was held in abey ance . The commission followed recom mendations of Chairman Frank Dun lap and Chief Engineer Vance Baise, who had been empowered to act on the bids. Gassoway & Owens, Winston-Salem road contractors, were allowed a cre dit of $3,700 on a construction project between Gatesville and the Virginia line, Baise said.i Representative Lindsay Warren was to appear before the commission dur ing the afternoon, but Dunlap said he did not know what would be sought. Consideration of road claims from 81 counties aggregating about $53,000,000 had not been reached this afternoon. WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA. Fair tonight and Friday; some what cooler tonight, with frost in the interior; cooler on the coast Hot Note To Tokyo Still Unanswered Presented in Tokyo Three Weeks Ago and Government There Says No Date For Re ply Has Been Set, Though Early Answer Was Requested Washington, Oct. 27.-—(AP) —The United States govern ment has told Japan, in a strong ly worded note, to stop “unwar ranted interference” with Ame rican rights in China. The 3,000-word statement, presented by Ambassador Joseph Grew in Tokyo October 6, but made public only today, demanded continuance of the * “open door” policy in the Orient. fixations Be Strained. An eatly reply was requested. The unofficial interpretation herc was that if a favorable answer did not ar rive soon, relations between the two countries would become strained. The United States accused Japan of seek ing to make another Manchoukuo out of the portions of China she has oc cupied, and listed a long series of violations of American business and property rights. The note charged Japan with try ing to monopolize all trade in China through setting up pseudo-Chinese monopolies; with manipulating the currency in North China, with alter ing the tariffsj with keeping Amer ican business men from their pro perties; with censoring and ing with American mail and telegrams’ at Shanghai JAPAN, TAKING HER TIME IN SENDING HEB ANSWER Tokyo, Oct. 27.—(AP)—The United States note demanding that “unwar ranted interference” with Americai rights in China be stopped, will not be published in Japan. The note was delivered to the Japanese government by United States Ambassador Joseph Grew October 6, but was divulged in Washington only today. Although the note specifically re quested a prompt reply, the Japanese Foreign Office skid no definite date for answering it had been set. Sources close to the government disclosed that Japan would take a “determined stand” in negotiating with foreign powers over rights and privileges they have enjoyed in China. Informed Japanese, referring to the prospect of negotiations with third powers after peace has been restored, declared that foreign concessions and settlements in Shanghai, Canton, Hankow and Tientsin Woilid be ol particular concern. U. S.-Britain Not Bound By Naval Accord By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Oct. 27.—United States Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, in a recent speech in London, his dip- lomatic post of duty remarked that Uncle Sam and John Bull, “after more than a century of rivalry, seem to have reach ed an understand ing with regard to naval matters.” Os course, Kennedy didn t mean a hard and-fast agreement. In fact, he specifi cally said that this “probably is the ' i Kennedy first time two nations, not bound by an alliance, have actually welcomed every ship launched by ttie other.” Plenty of commentators evidently have drawn the conclusion that the ambassador believes all maritime jealousies between the two countries have vanished into nothingness. Pos sibly that is, indeed, his idea. If so, however, I can’t indorse it. It may be true so far as fighting navies are concerned, but not as to mercantile marines. And navies and merchant fleets are a pair of altogether dif ferent propositions. Time was when Britain certainly considered it essential to outclass our navy in 1812, for instance. Also dur ing our War of secession. As recently as President Cleveland’s day the ques tion of British or American naval pre dominance was an important consid (Continued on Page Four) PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY Claims Gov.
