PAGE TWO Motor Lines Seek Haul Os Fresh Foods Daily Dispatch Bureau. f In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh. Aug. 23.—Three motor i truck lines are scrapping briskly m competition for a franchise which : would enable the winner to supply n section of Western North Carolina «■ with vegetables and truck iarm pio ducts from Eastern North Carolina. The area at present is served with vegetables almost exclusively liom South Carolina, it was testified at a -* Utility Commission hearing by Ran dal B. Etheridge, chief of the State Department of Agriculture’s market — ing division. Though the three companies pres ent varying routes in their petitions, the objective is to connect the eastern truck farms area with North Wil kesboro and that section of western Carolina, with the Raleigh-Asheboro highway link as the principal bone of contention In testifying before Commissioner Stanley Winborne, Etheridge said that a route of the kind sought would give farmers of the Wilmington area and the farming section between the New Hanover county seat and Golds boro fine market for their produce. This produce is now brought into North Wilkesboro and vicinity ffom South Carolina, he said. Such a route “ would not put the eastern farmers in competition with those of the im mediate North Vv ilkesboro section, either, he added because they do not * produce the same things at the same .time. , The Capital Transport wants a franchise of the Raleigh to North Wilkesboro route via Siler City, Ashe ‘ boro, Lexington, Mocksville, and Harmony. The Central Motors wants an Ashe boro to Raleigh and an Asheboro to Charlotte via New London franchise. It already holds a franchise west of Asheboro. The Helms Motors, holder of a Ra 'leigh-Pittsboro franchise, wants per mission to run from Pittsboro to Al bemarle via Siler City.

Henry Armstrong Manager Asks For Reverse Decision New York, Aug. 23. — (AP) A night’s rest failed to cool off Eddie Mead, manager of Henry Armstrong, and he declared he was going to move heaven and earth, if necessary, to get a reversal of last night’s de cision that gave Lou Ambers victory over Henry and the lightweight box ing championship at the Yankee sta dium. Mead said he would ask the New York State Athletic Commission Tuesday to reverse the decision. Failing in that, he said, he will ask Secretary of State Michael Walsh in Albany for an investigation. Mead also said he would ask the commission why Louie Beck, assis tant secretary of the commission, sat on a stool in Ambers’ corner and as sisted in coaching him throughout the fight. General John J. Phelan, chairman of the commission, took Mead’s cri ticisms lightly. “It was a unanimous and satis factory decision,” said the general. Tobacco Prices Move Upward (Continued From Page One) this fall if a referendum is held again This was the general concensus of opinion of farmers here and in sev eral other eastern markets today as they watched tobacco sold for prices ranging from two cents a pound for the poorest grades to around 32 cents for the better quality weed. Though the majority of the farm ers refused to be quoted for pub lication they spoke freely of the ef fects of the low prices on probable control referendum this fall and pro fessed to believe that the prices would win many farmers over to the side of control who had voted against such a measure last fall. State Senator Paul Grady, of Ken ly, who sold some tobacco on the lo cal market said that he thought that if prices fell below 16 cents many a farmer would vote for control this fall who had not voted for it last year. Grady also said that he thought the prices paid were good for the quality of the tobacco offered. Americans Told To Stay Clear Europe (Continued From Page One) diplomats' feel it advisable, they may advise Americans to leave Europe as soon as possible. The American embassies in Po land and France have given United States citizens*’ suggestions to that effect. Education Group Faces Salary Row (Continued From Page' One) officials. This is the group, it ap oears, which will be represented at the board hearing by Lumberton’s Judge L. R. Varser, a one-time Su preme Court justice. There are apparently authentic reports that the commission made increases in the salaries of certain rural superintendents, but these hikes were not enough to satisfy those concerned. It is pointed out there was clear legislative intent in the 1939 General Assembly to put county superintendents pay on a full and complete parity with the stipends paid city officials, and it is contended that the commission has not quite carried out this intent. There is no certainty that other interested groups will not want to be heard, though as far there has been little talk of any controversy over application of $117,000 of the $269,000 to a partial bridging of the gap of some 30 per cent now exist ing between the salary schedules of white and negro teachers holding the same certificates and doing the same work. Quite naturally not all the Negro teachers or leaders, are ; satisfied with the repotted amount which will be used,’ in reducing differen tials in pay. There are radicals in their number ''ho insist that the present differr tials in schedules should be completely eliminated, even if it called for reduction in white teacher salaries to provide for the elimination. This radical group, however, is in a decided minority among the Neg roes, who are school-minded, and who feel that there is much more to be gained by a policy of conciliation and compromise than by any dras tic action which would alienate the support of powerful white groups which now agree with them in prin ciple, and who are willing to pro ceed. albeit somewhat cautiously, in Practice in an effort to close the existing gap. Whether the class room teachers will send representatives to the Education Board meeting is prob lematical. There has developed a wide difference of opinion within f his class about where additional in creasements should be applied to salary scales. Some want more p or “starters” in the profession. Some contend that a teacher reaches maximum efficiency about the fourth year of experience and seek highest pay for that bracket. Others want increments for teachers of Tom five to eight years experience. Still others are contending lustily f or a new ninth experience incre ment. But anyway it turns, the Educa tion board is going to find the ming somewhat tough, even with "he School Commission’s recommen dations to fall back upon. Members of the board are the governor, Attorney General Harry McMullen, Attorney General Harry Eure, Treasurer Charlie Johnson, Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Clyde A. Erwin, and State Auditor George Ross Pou. The Japanese are a strange jeople. Now, it seems, they are try ng to save their faces by slapping .hose of others. .m* r* Sta6diri&s| j PIEDMONT LEAGUE Team W. L. Pet.

FRANCE WILL SPEED UP HER MILITARY MEASURES Paris, Aug. 23.—(AP) —The gov ernment announced tonight after a meeting of the national defense coun cil that “because of the international situation, the government has decid ed to complete the military measures already taken by recalling an addi tional contingent of reserve soldiers.” It was learned that the new call will be made by plastering posters on the walls of the police stations, which in France usually means at least partial mobilization. The decision was reached at a meeting of France’s ranking army, navy and air chiefs at the war min istry under Premier Daladier. ALL AVENUES OF TRAVEL OUT OF GERMANY CHOKED Berlin, Aug. 23.—(AP) —All ave nues of travel out of Germany were jammed today with French and Brit tish citizens and other foreigners fleeing in fear of war. No seats in airplanes could be obtained after early morning. Trains ran through out the day with corridors filled. British and French citizens were advised by their local diplomatic of ficials to leave Germany. The French step followed upon a direct order transmitted from Paris to the French ambassador, Robert Coulondre. American residents besieged con sular and diplomatic officials asking for advic*. they were told that United States officials have no information on which to give coun sel. Many tourists in Berlin, how ever, took to their heels without waiting for a specific word. Charles Boyer and Irene Dunn irf “When Tomorrow Comes”- Stevenson Thursday and Fri£ojgg|| HENDERSON, (N.
