Crash Before Notre

South Bend, Ind., Nov. 12. —(AP) —
Two football special trains packed
with persons bound for the Notre
Pame-Minnesota game crashed at
right angles here this afternoon, in
juring at leist 35 to 40 persons, hos
pital attaches said. Two coaches of a
New York Central railroad special,
carrying approximately 150 football
fans, overturned. Those injured were
in these cars.
State police who rushed to the
scene were unable immediately to as
certain whether any one had been
killed. Both trains were from Chi
cago. The New York Central special
was headed north on a siding. A
Grand Trunk Railroad special was go
ing east on the main line. Witnesses
said the Grand Trunk locomotive
struck the New York Central almost
in the middle, overturning a bar
coach and a passenger coach, both
filled nearly to capacity.
Rescuers had to use ladders to
reach the injured.
Leaf Prices
Chaiige Little
In Past Week
Raleigh, Nov. 12.—(AP)—Prices on
the Eastern North Carolina New
Bright Belt tobacco market this week
vere about the same as last week for
smoking leaf and cutters, but slightly
lower for the majority of lug grades,
the Federal-State Department of Agri
culture reported today in their weekly
tobacco round-up.
Prices continued firm on the Old
Belt, but showed a slight downward
trend on the Middle Belt, the depart
ment said.
Principal offerings on the New
Bright Belt were common to fair
quality leaf and fair to good quality
lugs, with leaf predominating. Latest
estimates by the Crop Reporting
Board of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics placed the belt’s produc
tion this year at 263,500,000 pounds.
Several new bright markets have
closed and the rest are expected to
end sales by Thanksgiving.
Sales on the Middle Belt were listed
for the season at 69,968,384 pounds
at an average of $23.12 per hundred
f ounds. The majority of grades quot
ed this week were lower, with largest
losses occurring in common and low
qualities. Offerings consisted of com
mon to good quality leaf and fair to
fine quality lugs, with only a small
volume of cutters offered. Sales
showed a decrease in volume.
Estimates by the Crop Reporting
Board have placed Middle Belt pro
duction at 270,640,000 pounds this
year. Season’s sales on the Old Belt
were placed at 88,612,513 pounds for
an average of $24.25 per hundred
pounds.
Offerings this week consisted Os
common to fair leaf, with only a small
volume of cutters.

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Nov. 12L —Those familiar
with Carl Durham, the surprise choice
for the sixth district Congress seat,
and those familiar with sixth district
politicians and politics are in substan
tial agreement that the quiet, unas
suming Chapel Hill druggist is likely
to stay in the hall of the House for
many years.
This may sound in direct conflict
with the predictions that Durham was
named strictly as a stop-gap comprom
ise in the controversy raging as to
whether Capus Waynick, of High
Point or Oscar Barker, of Durham,
should be named to the vacancy caus
ed by the death of the Democratic
nominee Judge Lewis E. Teague, of
High Foint; but those expressing the
opinion are prepared to back it with
logical, or at least plausible, argu
ment.
For instance, it is pointed out that
Durham is just the type to make a hit
with the electorate. He probably will
not get into the limelight by making
futile, though perhaps sensational,
gestures at reforming the world thro
ugh the medium of legislation; but he
is credited with a deal of good, hard
common sense and a personality
which makes friends out of all his
acquaintances.
In addition, it is forecast, neither
Durham nor Guilford county will be

maries, will be staunchly and sturdily
conservative. It will go along with the
economy and balanced budget views
of Governor Clyde R. Hoey.
And so the chief items of North
Carolina revenue for the next two
years will be, as they have been for
some years, franchise, inheritance,
beverage, income, privilege and in
tangible taxes. This, of course, does
not consider highway revenues which
come under an entirely different cate
gory.
On some of these particular items
the prospects sum up about like this:

Rouyn, Quebec, Nov. 12.—(Cana
dian Press) —Flames whipped by
high winds raced through two ho
tels and a block of other buildings
early today and police said they be
lieved “possibly Severn 'or eight”
lives may have been lost.
Originating in Albert’s hotel,
where nearly 100 guests were re
gistered, the flames were under con
trdl but still raging within a con
tinued area and police said it was
impossible to make an accurate
check of the loss of life. Only one

Cardinal At

Mob’s Anger
Munich, Nov. 12. — (AP) —
Excited crowds stormed the palace of
Michael Cardinal von Faulhaber to
day and broke all windows in the
building. The attack followed an ad
dress last night before 5,000 persons
by Adolf Wagner, Nazi district leader
for Bavaria and Bavarian minister of
the interior, in which he read a let
ter from*the cardinal asking police
protection in case popular passions
should result in attacks on Catholic
clergy in the present tense situation.
“If Von Faulhaber mends his ways,
he will be protected better than the
police can,” Wagner shouted. He add
ed he was offering no excuse for anti-
Jewish violence that burst out Thurs
day. f
Only last Sunday, the 69-year-old
cardinal, the archbishop of Munich,
used a passage from a speech by
Adolf Hitler to support a plea for
“the God-given rights of personality.”
He recalled that Hitler had said that
Germany’s greatest assets were her
creative personalities. The sermon
was greeted by whistling by Nazi list
eners.

able by Texan, How
ever
Washington, Nov. 12.—(AP)—Pres
ident Roosevelt’s expressed views on
the outcome of the congressional elec
tions led many politicians to con
clude today that he would push the
fundamentals of his New Deal pro
•>r m as vigorously as ever in the new
Congress. of th\s onininn said
the President’s remarks at his press
conference yesterday indicated he be
lieved he could do so without serious
ooliural repercussions, despite th*
fact that the Democratic party lost
heavily in Tuesday’s voting.
Meantime, Senator Connally, Demo
crat, Texas, a member of the Senate
Finance Committee, predicted that,
the next Congress would pass no
general tax bill. Improving business
conditions should increase Federan
revenues and make tax revisions un
necessary, Connally said. He pre
dicted, however, the re-enactment of
the so-called “nuisance” taxes, many
of which expire next year. These taxes
include such levies as that of theatre
tickets.
The senator said he believed, too,
that in the long run Congress would
be forced to increase tax rates on in
comes in the middle brackets and to
consider lowering exemptions.
Other developments:
Having seen Colonel Fulgencio Ba
tisto in action, official Washington

ex-private rose to and holds the posi

capital hasn’t seen a more dynamic,

a close today.
John L. Lewis
Gives Alibi
For Election
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 12. —(AP) —
CIO Chairman John L. Lewis told a
press conference today that last Tues
day’s election indicated the need for
a house cleaning in some quarters of
the Democratic party and closer co
operation among liberal forces.
“Labor of itself,” Lewis said,” can
r.ot sustain the prestige of theTDemo
cratic organization in states where
that organization or its representa
tives in office is such as not to war
rant the confidence of the electorate.”
The state he had in mind, he said,
included Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Ohio, and he amplified his re
marks later to aim his criticism spe
cifically at Governor Martin Davey of
Ohio and Mayor Frank Hague of Jer
sey City, N. J., a member of the
Democratic National Committee.
The defeat of the CIO-supported
Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania
last Tuesday, he said, could be traced
to “the stupidity, arrogance and lack
of consideration for the rights of labor
and the common people on the part
of the two major Pennsylvania politi
cians.”
Lewis declined to name the two poli
ticians.
