An embassy spokesman said that the youth who fired the shots declar ed he “wanted to avenge his Polish brthren.” (Germany last week sent back tc Poland several thousand resident Polish Jews, hearing that new Polish passport regulations might deprive them of their citizenship and leave them in Germany as German charges).

Off Japs; Japan Be ginning Rehabilitating Central China Shanghai, Nov. 7. —(AP) —Japanese forces were reported attacking the Chinese positions along the Honan province today, preparatory to a drive into the hitherto untouched territory where Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek had concentrated his defense. The invaders were advancing up the Yangtze from Hankow, as well as overland, aiming at Yuchow, 122 miles from the former provisional capital. Yuchow is on the Canton-Hankow railway and the Yangtze at the en trance of the 3,000 square mile Lake Tungtine. In Tokyo the Japanese government T>aved the way for reconstruction of Vvastated areas in Central China anq formed the Central China De velopment Company twin of the North China Development Company.

Y.(AP)— A spirit of compromise brought railroad man agement and labor together today to fashion "a legislative program for helping the carriers overcome sharp declines in transportation and rev enue. ’’ ■ A committee of six, appointed by President Roosevelt, three from each side, will submit the completed pro gram to the administration. Mr Roosevelt has said he hoped construc tive railroad legislation could be en acted by the 1939 Congress. Inform ed persons said the purpose was for congressional approval of a new pro gram approved last week when the carriers dropped a plan to cut wages 15 percent. The railroads claimed the reduction would save $250,000,000 an nually but almost one million work ers voted to strike rather than take the cut. Vote On Two Amendments Election Day Dally Dlaputcli Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Nov. 7. —Two Constitution al amendmehts will he voted upon by North Carolina voters who go to the polls in tomorrow’s election. One, increasing sheriffs and coron ers terms of office to four years, has received the benefit of an intensive campaign in its behalf. The other, authorizing establish ment of a State Department of ’jus tice, has hardly been mentioned and there is no apparent interest in it one way or the other. Six years ago the sheriffs amend ment was badly beaten at the polls, by a margin of some 87,000 votes and with only 17 counties giving it a ma (Continued on Page Two.) v ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTHCAROLINA AND VIRGINIA. that it even dieted T!"

Anyway, Washington has more than its fair proportion of them. It isn’t hard to understand the rea son, if you’re familiar with the cap ital. The normal American city is cut up by a lot of north and south, east and west streets, crossing one anoth er at right and left angles. Their in tersections are fearful hazards cer tainly, but there’s a bit of sense to them. Washington not only has this criss-cross arrangement of its thor oughfares but also a multiplicity of diagonal avenues, involving a web, every here and there, of eight strands, (Continued on Page Two.) France Facing More Decrees Over Money Paris, Nov. 7. —(AP) —Finance Min ister Paul Reynaud announced today that the decrees to meet the republic’s pressing financial problems would be handed down before the end of the week. A communication said Reynaud had completed a survey and would confer with Fremier Daladier rnd financial experts before the expected beginning tomorrow of a series of cabinet meet ings to approve the decrees. No indi cation was given of the nature of ihese measures Daladier was called upon for demo cratic guarantees by the powerful So cialist party which accused nationals of plotting to seize power on Armistice Day. The Premier was asked to assure “the three divisions of Uarlia ment and the Democratic regime.” The party’s official newspaper re doubled its appeals to Paris workers for “vigilance.” The appeals followed a resolution by the Socialist National Council that “forces of Fascist reac tion again threatened Republican in stitutions. £4 Voters Give Half Million In Splaries Daily Dispatcft Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Farmers Can % £ / *r.. f mmm Recover Tax On Cotton f Supreme Court Re verses Lower Court, Holding Cotton Grow ers Can Sue to Recov er Taxes Paid to Gin ners. Washington, Nov. 7.—(AP)—The! Supreme Court ruled today that a producer of cotton who paid taxes imposed on ginners by the Bankhead Production Control Act may main tain a suit to recover. This ruling reversed a decision by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals that since the tax was imposed on ginners the producers could not bring recovery legislation. Directly involved was an attempt by Stahmar.m Farmers Company, o? New Mexico, to recover $13,063, paid on cotton products in 1934-35 in ac cess of the allotment made under the legislation. t 'St ah man n Farmers contended that it had to pay the tax because a gin ning company declined otherwise to deliver the ginned cotton. It argue! •also that the tax was invalid on the ground that the Bankhead act was in constitutional. The government denied that the leg islation was invalid. The court delivered 13 opinions but left four for later hearings of cases involving powers of the National La bor Relations Board and the status of the proposed child labor amendment to the Constitution. The court agreed to review litiga tion involving the scope of the 1933 act abrogating thg “gold clauses” in securities.

Raleigh, Nov. 7. —North Carolina’s sovereign voters, more than half a million of them, will tomorrow go to the polls in the more than 1,800 pre cincts of the State to pass judgment on a host of candidates —state, dis trict and local; Democratic and Re publican. They will also decide by their bal lots whether or not the State’s Con stitution shall be changed in two re spects. At stake, in Statewide polling, are one seat in the United States Senate, eleven Congress posts, three Supreme Court justiceships, the attorney gen eral’s post, the Utilities and Labor Commissionerships and a dozen seats on the Superior Court bench. TWenty-one district solicitors will be chosen, as will 170 legislators (120 representatives and 50 senators). A large percentage of local officers in all the one hundred counties are also to be selected by Mr., Mrs. and Miss Voter.

Record Vote For Off-Year Being Sought Republicans Lay Claims to Numerous Senate and House Seats as Election Day Nears; Cherry Pre dicts Big Majority Here (By The Associated Press.) The oratory and the blaring bands of the election campaign faded intr the background tc( lay while party leaders took over the task of getting out the vote. They wanted to obtain a record off year turnout tomorrow of 40,000,000 American men and women. Good weather was expected to aid this, although a cold snap was pre dicted, but a clear day was forecast for much of the nation. Aiding the validictories which ended much of po litical turbulence, the belief prevail ed in both major parties that Repub licans would make congressional gains for the first time since 1928. The most optimistic Republicans hope to overtake the huge Demo cratic majority in the Senate and house. Their goal was to cut that down as much as possible. They fore cast Democratic losses of half a dozen or more Senate seats and of 75 oi 80 in the house. Democratic Chair man James A. Farley called such a prediction ab surd although he said “would be idle to deny” some Democratic house members would lose. In North Carolina, the election cam paign entered its final hours and to morrow the public will chose some 1,- 500 public offices ranging from a United States senator to township constable. R. Gregg Cherry, State Democratic chairman, predicted a vote of 600,000 and Depnocratic majority of 200,000 to 300,000. The Constitutional amendments up on which judgment is to be passed are: (1) To increase the terms of sher iffs and coroners in North Carolina from ';wo to four years. (2) To authorize establishment of a State Department of Justice. As far as the election of Statewide officials is concerned, more than half the posts will be filled by Democrats without any opposition from the Re publicans. This year the G. O. P. did not name even one ca,n<)idate for a Superior Court judgeship, while it has also let go by default one of the Su- Court places, the Utility and Labor Commissioners and four of the Federal representatives. It will con test for the United States senatorship, two Supreme Court places and in seven congressional districts. In more than half the counties the Republicans are also making no ef fort to defeat their ancient rivals, and there appears nothing to prevent (Continued on Page Two,) O PAGES o TODAY FIVE CENTS COP Shift Comes Week After Thefts Made t.. ; Louis Ellis, Former Manager, {Retained ill Department for Pres ent; Three Prisoners Allegedly Stole Ink and Paper t Raleigh, Nov. 7.

Hungary To Seek More Czech Land One* Fifth of Territory Lost During World War Returned to Hun gary, and Country Asks More from Czechoslovakia Budapest, Nov. 7. —(AP) —Senti- ment for further territorial revisions rode at high crest in Hungary today. Enthusiasm whipped up by military occupation of a sizeable bulk of Czechoslovakia inspired a Hungary leader to tell the people that this vic tory was “only partial justice." Hungary, he said, rejpiced that Italian, German occupations brought the return of 4,875 square miles of ter ritory, about one fifth of the total lost to Czechoslovakia at the end of the World War. But the speaker added the nation would not be satisfied with that.? Meanwhile, Hungary’s calvary and infantry pushed their new frontier further into Czechoslovakia occupy ing four more villages and towns north -of the Danube, and amid scenes of great enthusiasm. Thousands of townsmen stood along railroads and highways, singing in celebration of their return to Hun- I gary under the Vienna arbitration of , last week. • - - -•-
