Morgenthau Warning Against Denying FDR’s Money Powers German Press Derisive Os British Naval Note 1 i iin, June 29.—(AP) —A scorn <)i-us greeted today Great Bri ta n' answer to Adolf Hitler’s de nu nation of the 1935 British-Ger inan naval limitation agreement, and indicated that the Nazi leader in tf tided to follow his “road of de stiny” without any chains on his growing navy. The tightly controlled German pic s and the authortative news ser vice, Deutscher Dienst, pointed to the British document as an “arrogant note”, and made it clear there would be little to negotiate between the two countries in naval matter as long a: what Nazis called Britain’s “en Ray Olson, Fugitive And fuller, Slain By Posses Cable, Wis., June 29.—(AP)—Ray Olson, fugitive killer of two special deputy sheriffs, was shot to depth to day while attempting to flee from four possemen led by Constable Ernest Moore, of Cable. 400 Drivers Lose License During June i Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, June 29.—Revocation of drivers licenses in North Carolina during the current month of June reached a total of 439, of which 109 were in the 27 wet counties, 299 in the 73 legally arid units of the State, and a total of 31 from non residents of North Carolina, accord ing to figures released today by Ronald Hocutt, director of the High way Safety Division. The total revocations since the state adopted its “take-away” policy thereby reached 22,692, the report (Continued on Page Four) Urnitersmt ikitUt Bfeuatcb LF; n?K^°a SERVICE OP IHI, ASSOCIATED PRESS. circlement policy” continues. it was pointed out, however, that the German government would an swer “at the proper time” the “ob jective” part of the British note, which, announced in Berlin yester day, told Germany that Britain was willing to negotiate a new naval limitations arrangement, flatly de nied the “encirclement” charge, and pointedly asked what assurances the Reich could give that any new naval pact would not be scraped. Hitler’s paper raised the suspicion the British memorandum was held up for two months so it could be pre sented on the twentieth anniversary of the Versailles treaty. The shooting took place on a lake near the Wheatly Anderson farm 14 miles from Cable. Struck by four bul lets, the killer, who had been hunt ed since June 17, toppled into the water from a boat in which he was attempting to row. Olson lived about ten minutes. Be fore death he admitted the shooting of the deputies, Carl Johnson and Fred Scott, of Hayward, and told the officers his wife was in no way con nected with his law-breaking. Olson, who had led 200 possemen a spectacular chase through the wild brush country of Sawyer and Bay field counties for two weeks, finally was trapped because of his dire need of food and rest. Weary and hungry, the 30-year-old fugitive broke into Anderson’s home sometime Wednes day afternoon. He cooked a meal, changed his clothing and apparently lay down to rest. The Anderson family discovered something was amiss upon return ing home last night. Anderson noti fied the authorities, who surrounded the place. Shortly after dawn today, the men closed in on the farm. Olson, hiding in an outhouse, broke for the woods. The possemen fired and gave chase. They pursued their quarry to a clump of bushes and on the lake shore, where, Olson frantically tried to shove a boat onto the lake. A bullet from a 22-calibre rifle was the first to strike Olson. ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS SECTION OFNORTHOAROLINA AND VIRGINIA HENDERSON, N. C., THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 29, 1939 Treasury Head Says Business, Farmers, La bor Had Better Do Some Worrying if Withdrawal Stands; Friday Midnight Zero Hour Washington, June 29.—CAP)—Sec retary Morgenthau voiced the ad ministration’s unflinching opposition to curtailment of President Roose velt’s monetary powers today, with an assertion that “farmers, business men and laborers “had better start worrying about the dollar” if deval uation authority is not continued. While Senate Majority Leader Barkley and House Majority Leader Rayburn conferred with Mr. Roose belt at the White House about the bitter congressional contest over the President’s emergency powers over money, the Treasury secretary told his press conference: “Certainly since 1934 no farmer, business man or laborer needed to worry about the dollar, but they had better start worrying now if the de valuation power • lapses tomorrow night. Apparently the main hope of the administration in preventing that lapse was ,to work out in a confer ence committee of senators and rep resentatives some compromise of Sen ate restrictions in the pending mone tary bill, which would split a coali tion of hard-money Republicans and silver-state senators. These groups joined to write into the bill a Treas ury price of 77.57 cents an ounce for domestic silver, and to vote an end to the President’s authority to de (Continued on page two) Labor Warned Os Wage Club Atlanta, Ga., June "9.—(AP) — Labor leaders, pressing for a 32 1-2 cent an hour minimum wage in the textile industry, were described to day as being in danger of cutting their own throats by forcing adop tion of labor-saving machinery and elimination of workers. Testifying before Wage-Hour Ad ministrator Elmer Andrews in a pub lie hearing on the proposal, Frede rick Moore, of Charlotte, N. C., said basically wages could be increased only as the output of workers was increased. That meant, he added, that just as many workers would lose their jobs and incomes as pay increases were granted those remain ing at w ork. Free City’s Seizure Is Now Feared Danzig Prepared for Home-Coming to Ger many ; Hitler Expect ed To Strike Suddenly and Unexpectedly; Reports Abroad Are Denied Danzig, June 29. —(AP) —Foreign reports of the organization of a so called “free corps” and an influx of Germans into Danzig were described in rebuttal by official Danzig sour ces today as an “alarming of the pub lic which is by no means warrant ed.” Nevertheless, Danzig is prepared for a homecoming to Germany. Pro paganda Minister Paul Goebbels en couraged the population in addresses here two weeks ago to hold out and wait for Chancellor Hitler to act. Just how and whon the fuehrer would act remained a mystery. It may be soon, some observers believe, because the official Nazi organ re marked recently that “we shall need the steady nerves of Danzigers with in the near future.” The paper added that Danzig’s men and women had learned lrom past experiences and “were prepared lor the hours ahead,” and that poli tical tension had reached a high pitch and needed no new whipping up. The newspaper denied today re ports abroad of extensive military preparations in Danzig territory. It admitted at the same time that meas ures which it called legitimate to strengthen the l3ahzig police force to such a degree that the popula tion may go about its daily -work with a sense of security.” Dispatches in Polish, English and French newspapers stating that Ger man military units had entered Dan zig, were described as “impertinent lies.” The official Nazi organ said “in Danzig there is nothing to hide because nothing is being done il legally.” “There is no doubt there is no ‘militarization’ in Danzig.” Fans Authorized By Security Body For UCC Offices Raleigh, June 29.—(AP)—Gover nor Hoey received a telegram today from Representative R. L. Doughton saying that the Federal Social Se curity Board had authorized pur chase of additional “pedestal ad justable fans” for the State UCC of fices, where 16 persons have suffer ed heat prostrations in recent weeks. The governor said he had no other information, but apparently the So cial Security Board had rejected the proposal for “blower fans” to change air frequently in the office.

Hull’s Trade Policy Unlike German Plan By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, June 29.—The State Department draws a distinction be tween Germany’s international “bar ter system” and Uncle Sam’s trad ing of American cotton with John Bull for England’s tin, and rubber from British colo nial territory. In f a ct, “bartering” and “swapping” are two altogether different kinds of transactions, ac cording to Secre tary Hull’s lexi cography.

Wallace, plant patho logist for the Federal Department of Agriculture at Riverside, Cal., reported today to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he and his associates apparently had successfully im munized a tobacco plant against a virus disease. He said the accom plishment never had been conclu sively demonstrated before. Virus diseases also blight peaches, cel ery, tomatoes and other plants. In the experiment, shoots from a type of Turkish tobacco plant, which had recovered from curly top virus were grafted to a heal thy plant. The grafted plant deve loped only mild symptoms of dis ease thereafter. Poland Will Defend Its Coast Area That and Polish Corri dor Are “Air and Sun” of Nation’s Life, President Says In Broadcast to People Warsaw, Poland, June 29.—(AP) —President Moscicki, in a broadcast speech climaxing Poland’s naval week, today declared the nation’s war-won seacoSst and Pomorze, the Polish corridor, were the “air and sun of our existence as a state.” He proclaimed Poland’s determin ation to keep her outlets to the sea, no mgtter how great her adversary, or how heavy the outside pressure. “In the traditional naval week every year,” the president said, “the thoughts and sentiments of all Po land concentrate on the seacoast, of all our frontiers the shortest, yet most important, sector, because three quarters of our foreign trade passes through it. “That is why the ports of Gdynia (in Poland at the head of the Polish corridor) and Danzig (which Ger many wants returned to the Reich) have such exceptionally great signi ficance for our national economy. That is why the free city of Danzig is now bound to us by so many ties, as well as it was in past centuries. “Today, on the feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, the patron saints of fishermen, we pass in our minds long the banks of the Vistula, the queen of Polish rivers, to Danzig and to Gdynia. Although every acre of Po lish soil is equally dear and close (Continued on Page Two) To Sue State In Drownings Beaufort, June 29. (AP) Thomas W. Ruffin, Raleigh attorney, incTTcted here today a damage suit would be brought against the State Highway Department in connection with the drowning of five Raleigh residents when their automobile ran off the Gloucester ferry slip, near here, late Sunday. Accompanied by Coroner George Dill, who after the tragedy charged that the State Highway Department had not maintained warning lights or barricades on the approach to the slip, the attorney inspected the site. Ruffin, asked if he would claim as much as $1,000,000, said such a sum might be asked. W. C. Walker, auto mechanic, was driver of the car. The victims were his wife, two of their small children, and her parents. Many Fanners In State Sorely In Need Os Rain Raleigh, June 29.—(AP) — Many North Carolina farmers are sorely in need of good rains on their crops, data available here today indicated, though no severe general drought conditions prevail. H. E. Kichline, the weather man, said there were some extremely dry spots in the Piedmont and mountain areas, but that ideal conditions might prevail “right close to the dryest places.” He pointed out that the State was now having practically nothing but l«cal showers, which might day after PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. Britain Seeks New Powers For Accord With The Soviets Inclusion of Baltic States, Belgium, Hol land, Switzerland In “Front” Proposed To Russia; Crisis at Dan zig Soon Expected London, June 29.—(AP) —Britain was said by informed quarters to day to have sent proposals to Mos cow for inclusion of the Baltic states and Belgium, Holland and Switzer land in the proposed Anglo-French- Russian mutual assistance pact. This proposal was said to have been in the latest instructions which the British government dispatched to Sir William Seeds, British ambas sador to Russia. Sources close to the government discounted an article published in Moscow today in the official organ of the Communist party, saying that the negotiations had run into a “blind alley”. The new instructions, these sour ces said, would come very close to Soviet’s Russia’s original demands, and an agreement was expected next week or week after next at the latest The negotiations have been in pro (Continued on Page Eight) U.

Congress To Vote Soon On Tobacco Act Raleigh, June 29.—(AP) —E. F. Arnold, secretary of the Farm Bu reau Federation, said today he had been assured that Congress would have a chance in the very -near fu ture to act on proposed amendments to the tobacco section of the AAA. Representative Harold Cooley, who is backing the proposals, was quoted by Arnold as saying that the amend ments were on the House calendar and if they are not acted upon Mon day, would then be taken up soon thereafter under a special rule. The amendments would: Permit ordering of tobacco referenda after July 1 instead of after November 15; change the penalty tax; fix the poundage production of growers who observe their allotments as the total harvest instead of an arbitrary num ber of pounds, and increase allot ments of “little farmers”. day sweep over one part of a county and leave the rest dry.
