■SSSS3 13,873 TWENTY-FIFTH year FRANCE IS Business Improving Rapidly, But That Doesn t Mean Drop In Relief, Roosevelt States President Is Silent Upon Relief Cost Hull Leaves Washing ton To Sail for Lima, Peru, for Pan-Ameri can Conference Soon To Open; Dies Fires Broadside at Ickes, Hopkins, Perkins Warm Springs, Ga„ Nov. 25.—(AP) —President Roosevelt said today busi ness conditions generally were show ing increasing improvement. He told a press conference, however, that while there was no question that em ployment had picked up, this did not necessarily mean that relief rolls would drop proportionately imme diately. He pointed out that last spring a good many were out of work, and that there was no work for them because the relief appropriations did not em ploy at the low point anything like the number of persons who needed resistance. The President talked to reporters as he sat behind the wheel of an open car in front of a press cottage. Mrs. Roosevelt stood beside the car. The chief executive would give no hint as to the size of the relief ap propriation for next year. At, Washington,) meanwhile, high government officials and Latin-Amer ican diplomats wished Secretary Hull godspeed as he left the capital by train for New York for the Pan- American conference at Lima, Peru. Sumner Welles, who will be acting secretary of state in Hull’s absence, and Secretary of Commerce Roper ex tended their good wishes to Hull and his party in the presidential room at the Union Station. Other Washington developments: Representative Dies, Democrat, Texas, continuing his feud with Sec retary Ickes, propped that the In terior Department head, along with Secretary Perkins and WPA Admin istrator Hopkins, should resign and. thus “restore confidence to govern ment.” \ “It is a consummation devoutly de sired by the overwhelming majority of Democrats,” said Dies, chairman f the House Committee investigating un-American activities. Citizens can rot feel secure, he declared, while “crackpots” are in high Federal po sitions. Dies’ statement was issued in reply to a press conference rexoark by Ickes Wednesday that the Texas re i'K sentative was the world’s outstand ing “zany”, and that testimony before his committee was “garbage.” Fires Again Threatening West Coast Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 25.—(AP)— A forest fire raced across the rim of the San Bernardino mountains today toward the Crest Forest district and its 4,000 cabins, residences, stores and hoteis.

Storm Over Holiday Has Tragic Tale Worst at Thanksgiv ing in Many Years; Snow Covers Washing ton and New York (By The Associated Press) Snow plows and shovel brigades mopped up in cities and rural com munities across the nation today in the wake of the worst Thanksgiving day storm in many years. Incomplete reports showed nearly two-score storm fatalities, .witty ship ping and air transportation partially paralyzed along the Atlantic coast and elsewhere. Trains and buses ran behind schedule. Automobile clubs received thous ands of calls from drivers needing help as their cars were marooned in heavy snowdrifts and incapacitated by freezing temperatures. The worst single tragedy growing out of the storm was reported at Am sterdam, N. Y., where a 27-year-old mother and her five small children, huddled around an oil stove for warm th, were burned to death when the stove exploded.' Brakedowns or delays in air, land and coastal shipping traffic marred the holiday by preventing untold num bers of scheduled family reunions. Swift freezing sleet resulted in hun dreds of highway accidents and slow ed traffic to a snail’s pace. Washington, D.

Clark reported today that he and his deputies arrested about 175 spectators at a cock fight between here and Fayetteville yester day. The spectators, the sheriff said, gave bond for their appearance in le corder’s court here next Wednesday. The sheriff said H. A. Goodman, of Fayetteville, was placed under $256 bond on a charge of operating the place. He said several others from out of the State gave bonds, but most of the others were released on their own recognizance. The latter, how aver, will be summoned, he added. The sheriff said spectators were at the fight from South Carolina, Vir ginia, New York and Charlotte, High Point, Raleigh, Rocky Mount and other places in North Carolina. ONLY DAILY THREATENED BY LABOR UNBEST Near Death After Rescue From Well Lillington, Nov. 25. —(AP) Boaten and bruised, Clinnie Cot ton, 19, of Harnett county, was near death in a Fayetteville hos pital today after being thrown down a 65-foot well near here Wed nesday night, Sheriff W.

Should Hitler Die, Goebbels Would Rule By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Nov. 25. —When Hugh R. Wilson, just returning from Ger many to make his ambassadorial re port to President Roosevelt, gets on into his story, it is a safe bet that our chief executive will be told the Father land could do worse than with Herr Hitler, bad as the latter is. Shortly be fore the program broke out I had a chat with an old friend, long a res ident of Leipzig but on a visit in this, his native country. I refrain from naming him or he couldn’t go back to his business in Europe Anyway, I ex pressed surprise that someone doesn’t take a pot-shot at the feuhrer. He immediately would be killed, of course but there are folk willing to make that sacrifice in such situations as the Germans’ present one. I don’t contend that assassination is justifia ble in any circumstances, tout it’s committed occasionally in emer gencies. “It would be most deplorable,” said my friend. And he proceeded to out line the horrors that would be sure to follow an unceremonious “bump ing off” of Herr Hitler. CaUs Hitler Mfld. I’m prepared now to believe him, considering the conditions which have prevailed since the shooting by a crack-brained Jewish boy, of a Ger man minor diplomatic official in Paris. If Hitler had been the shootee, what mightn’t have happened! “But asicle from that,” continued my friend, “in the event of Hitler’s elimination, Propaganda Minister Goebbels would be certain to succeed him. Now, the democratic world thinks of Hitler as the limit, because he’s been more advertised, but he’s mild in comparison with Goebbels.” Marshal Goering, the Nazis’ military promoter, is spoken of as one of the Reich’s toughest characters. He’s hard-boiled all right, accord ing to reliable information. Yet Goer ing, it appears, is human —sane, com panionable, a jolly German. He doesn’t have crazy tantrums, like Hit ler. He isn’t a dottily sour introvert, like Goebbels.’He more resembles the late President von Hindenberg, who (Continued on Page Five) NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OF NORTH CAROLINA AND VIRGINIA.

She is al ready the fastest growing of the lar ger nations as far as population is concerned. Few people realize that her business in 1937 set new all-time highs, surpassing even the 1929 peaks. Today, Canadian business is only 15 per cent below the top and is rising vigorously. Meanwhile, each succeed ing wave of unrest that fans out across Europe makes her propects look even brighter. “It is an ill-wind that blows nobody good” is trite but true.

It becomes increasingly apparent that England must he pre pared to fight aggressor nations such as Germany and Italy.
