.Motion In $45,000.00
Shortage Action.

cated his court orders approving set
tlement of John G. Dawson of Kin-1
ston as receiver for the insolvent
Farmer*' Bank and Trust Company
of La Grange and appointed Jack I
Edwards of Greenville as referee tol
investigate the receivership.
The judgment followed a motion tol
the Lenoir County Court which
charged Dawson, former chairman of
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee and speaker of the House of
Representatives, with a $45,000 short
age and called for a hearing in the)
receivership to prevent "an uncon
scionable fraud . . . upon the court."
Judge Sinclair's judgment, filed in
the Lenoir County Court yesterday,!
instructed the referee to make find
ings of fact and conclusion of law in
the bank receivership and report back
to the court "as soon as possible" in J
order to expedite the matter.
The judgment vacates orders is
sued by Judge Sinclair on March 16
and April 5, 1937, in which he allowed
certain attorneys' fees and commis
sions and in which he accepted Daw
son's final account of the bank liqui
dation and discharged him as receiv
er. It also denied Dawson's motion
to dismiss the motion and exceptions
filed with the court by the Commis
sioner of Banks on March 14 of this)
- .. ,
Commissioner Hood's motion sud
denly brought the La Grange bank re
ceivership to public attention 18 years
after the institution closed its doors
on November 24, 1920.. .
The Commissioner's motion, sign
ed by Jesse A. Jones of Kinston and
Kennfith Royal of Goldsboro, for the
legal firms of Ehringhaus, Roy all,
Gosney and Smith, declaring a re
hearing was necessary to prevent "a
glaring miscarriage of justice" and
to prevent "a consummation of an un
conscionable fraud perpetrated upon
the Court and upon these petitioners
and other creditors of the Trust."
An audit on which the allegations
were based, prepared by Chapman and
Strand, certified public accountants
of Charlotte and Greensboro, for the
Commissioner of Banks, was filed
with the court. The audit said, "mea
ger as reports were we were able to
determine with certainty that Daw
son embezzled monies of the trust."
Point was made in the audit of
the length of time separating the
bankruptcy and the filing of a Anal
receiver's account: "A wholly accu
rate statement of the condition of
this trust and the extent of its mis
management by the receiver is pre
cluded by several factors, noteworth
ily the lade of records and the length
of time during which the trust has
been administered by Dawson."
Judge Sinclair mid yesterday he
was positive the whole matter would
be aired in ceort.

Plans Under Way j
For Safely Tour
????? i
Division Planning Mo
torcade to Boost High
way Safety Program.
_
The Highway Safety Division's
campaign to reduce the death and ac
cident toll on the State1* road sys
tem will be carried to State-aride di
mensions the last week in April with
a three-day Safety Booster tour, be
ginning in Raleigh the morning of
April 96.
Although all arrangements for the
tour have not been complted, Ron
ald Hocutt, assistant director of the
division, yesterday announced that a
proposed itinerary had been drawn
up and that the tour would be com
posed of State and municipal officials,
civic leaders and Safety Council exe
cutives from various parts of the
State. Two large busses and about
five special safety passenger auto
mobiles will form the safety motor
cade, he said.
Brief stops at major North Caro
lina cities and towns along the pro
posed routes will be made, and at
these places talks will be made by ac
companying officials and efforts will
be made to inaugurate organisations
of Safety Councils at all points.
"<jcr campaign to decrease road
hazards and make all of North Caro
lina 'safety conscious1 is not going
to cease," Hocutt said yesterday.
"We've made remarkable progress
thus far in securing cooperation from
local groups and individuals where the
real safety work must be accomplish
ed. The lowering of the highway
death toll for January and February
of this year can be attributed, at
least in part, I think, to the wakened
interest of motorists in safety meas
ures.
"With the cooperation which has
been promised us from many cities in
the State, I believe the Safety Boos
ter Tour will result in a better State
wide effort to reduce accidents on the
highways," he said.
The tour will start out from Ral
eigh, Tuesday morning, April 26, at
8 o'clock, and proceed westward. Ac
cording to the present proposed iti
nerary, stops will be made the first
day at Durham, Hillsboro, Burling
ton, Greensboro, High Point, Winston
Salem, Lexington, Salisbury, States
ville, Hickory, Morganton, Marion
and Asheville, where it is planned to
spend the night.
Leaving Asheville Wednesday
morning, April 27, the tour will con
tinue to Rutherfordton, Shelby, Gas
to nia, Charlotte, Monroe, Wadesboro,
Rockingham, Laurinburg, Lumberton,
Whiteville and Wilmington, for the
second night's stay.
On the final day of the topr,
Thursday, April 28, the motorcade
will go through Elizabethtown, Fay
etteville, Clinton, Goldsboro, Kinston,
New Bern, Greenville, Wilson, Rocky
Mount, Nashville and back into Ral
eigh.

Mexico City, April 6. ? The Mexi
can government announced today that j
20 per cant of gross receipts from
sales abroad of its excess crude oil
would be wed toward payment for
properties it expropriated from
American and British companies
March 18.
Hie announcement came as two
foreign promoters Francis W. Bick
ett of Great Britain and Bernard E.
Smith, Mew York stock broker, were
negotiating with Mexican officials to
bpy a part of the government's oil
output
Unconfirmed reports were that
Rickett and Smith were near an
agreement with the Mexican govern
ment for purchase of some of the oil
which has been coflcting in storage
tanks since President Lazaro Carde
nas issued his expropriation decree.
The government press department
disclosed that the President frfowaaif
had ordered the government company
formed to handle export oil sales to
deposit 20 per cent of receipts in the
National Bank of Labor Credit
j The deposits would "constitute a
fund for indemnification and be used
for payment for the expropriated
properties," the press department
said.
Payments to the companies, it ad
ded, would start "as soon as agree
ments are reached with the interested
companies fixing the amount to be
pdud." It was said the finance minis
try later would fix the percentage of
domestic sales to be devoted to the
same purpose.
The peso climbed sharply during
the dollar in comparison with yepter
tbe day, closing at 4.00 and 4.10 to
day's close of 4.25 to 5.30.
Some bankers credited the peso's
rise to reports that Rickett and Smith j
had brought *5,000,000 to *10,000,000
to Mexico as a guarantee for an ex
pected oil purchase contract.
Government sources asserted Mex
ico had received more than 50 offers
to buy ofl since the expropriation, but
that none of the offers had been ac
cepted yet

Fascist Powers Seek Mexican Oil
As U. S. Presses For Settlement
The sitnation precipitated by the
Mexican Government's seizure of oil
properties owned by Americans
caused Secretary Hull to ask the Mex
ican Government for "fair, assured
and effective" compensation .for the
American properties expropriated.
While acknowledging the rifrht of the
Mexican Government to seise the
properties, Mr. Hull insisted that the
owners are entitled to full compensa
tion and made plain that such pay
ment must not be in bonds which
might |subsequently become practical-?'
ly worthless. This it is said, hap*
pened in the case of the seisure.of.
American-owned farm and raneh
lands. Mexico gave the proprietors
bonds in payment but the securities'
have not borne interest since Issued.
Officials began work on a suggested
plan which would permit the Mexican
government to retain title to the oil
properties but allow the American
companies to operate theim, idling oil
and applying the profits and surplus
to a.sinlting fund to pay themselves
in full.
- Meanwhile, the Mexican Govern
ment faced the problem of huge oil
surpluses. Since the seizure of the
oil wells, there have been reports
that Italy, Germany and Japan were
anxious to take over the output of
the Mexican oil industry, The United
States almost immediately announ
ced that it would cease buying- Mexi
can silver on April 1st and hinted that
commercial relations with Mexico
would be studied. This was taken to
mean that there might be tariff in
creases against Mexico, which some
months ago boosted its tariffs against
American products.
Encouraging factors in the situa
tion were seen in the special session
of Congress called by President Car
denas, who had previously declared
that he would sell oil only to Demo
cratic countries. Observers admit,
however, that desperate need for an
immediate market might lead to an
agreement with Germany, Italy or
Japan, which are anxiously seeking a
basis for a trade. There were hints
that the sharp decline of the peso,
following suspension of silver pur
chases, and the fall of the price of
silver on world markets following
the reduction in price by Washington
might lead to conciliatory action by
Mexico.
Secretary Hull, in his protest, call
ed attention to the friendly attitude
of this nation toward the Mexican
Government The United States has
steadily purchased Mexican silver at
a high price, giving great financial
aid, has maintained an arms embargo
in favor of the Oardenas Government
and has repeatedly displayed a sym
pathetic attitude towards Mexican
attempts to solve agrarian and other
problems.
While It is probable that the seiz
ure of oil properties will result in the
clarification of all trade relations
with Mexico, the incident should em
phasize the danger of serious inter
national complications. These do not
arise with Mexico, which of itself is
not a threat to the peace of Hie United
States, but can be easily discerned in
possible agreements between Mexico]
and' Germany, Italy and Japan.
Should they succeed in establishing j
a el aim to-Mexican oil, developments
adverse to the interests of the United
Statef sad democratic nations in this
hamisphsre are inevitable. In fact,
the Mexican situation offers an easy
avenue for Fascist penetration into
this ares of the world.

Mexico City, April 5. ? Archbishop
Garibiy Rivera of Guadalajara today
called upon Mexican Catholics to raise
a fund to help pay 17 American and
British oil companies for their $400,
000,000 holdings expropriated by the
government March 18.
This move, approved by Archbishop
Louis Martinez of Mexico City, came
as the oil companies asked in district
court of a'isderal labor board order
terminating their labor contracts with
their 18,000 former employes.
Archibishop Martinez promised a
pas to rial letter on the oil controversy
during Holy Week.
The oil workers' union said yester-.
day its members were prepared to
contribute a day's pay each month
"as long as needed" to help pay for
the expropriated property.
Today's court action was the second
one of three steps indicated by the
oil companies in an effort to have the
expropriation decree set aside. The
first of these was a request filed in
district court yesterday for ah in
junction against enforcement of the
decree on the ground that it was un
constitutional. The third step, not
yet taken, will be a request to the
Department of National Economy for
administrative revocation at the1 de
cree. "
Bernard E. Smith, New York bro- 1
ker, and Frauds W. Bickett, British
promoter, arrived from New York to
night, presumably to resume nego
tiations with the government for pur- !
chase of oil, which now fills many 1
storage tanks to capacity*
Officially, however, they denied
that their visit was connected with
the oil situation, i
Meanwhile, renewal of hostilities
between the rival Confederation of
j Workers of Mexico and Regional Con
federation of Mexican Workers ad
ded to the government's worries. .

Report Capture of Bala
guer at Head of Cata
lan Power Supply Sys
Hendaye, France, April 6.?Insur
gent dispatches tonight announced
that General Jose Moscardo'B Insur
gent troops had captured Balaguer, in
Northeast Spain, the torpn which con
trols all Catalan hydro-electric power
Htiw.
Balaguer, 15 miles northeast of
Lerida, is at the northern end of the
government's defense line thrown up
to check the Insurgent sweep toward
Barcelona and the Mediterranean.
Government forces still retained
control of the defense lines south
ern end at Borjas Blancas, but the
capture of Balaguer would enable
the Insurgents to circle around gov
ernment fortifications to the main
Barcelona highway.
Reinforced government. troops,
streamed down from mountain fast
nesses in flank attack on the Insur
gents hammering at Tortosa to reach
the Mediterranean Sea.
While "suicide squads" of militia
men held approaches to the walled
city, wave after wave of government
troops struck from the heights which
hemmed in General Franco's column.
They drove Insurgents out of several
positions in bitter hand-to-hand fight
ing. " J;,
Both sides, sped reinforcements to
the battle area, where government
resistance to the Insurgent push
brought the fiercest fighting since
Franco's forces started their March
to the sea March 9.
Franco's legionnaires were fighting
to gain control of the coastal high
way and use it for a rapid sweep 95
miles northeast to Barcelona, govern
ment capital, or to Valencia, Mediter
ranean stronghold to the south.
In preparation for the final assault
on Tortosa, insurgents sent caravans
o'f munitiohs and supplies down the
Elbro River valley to the column
striking at approaches to the city.
The Spanish government mobilized"
aii. available labor in northern Spain
to hasten fortifications along the
French frontier, which was believed
to be the ultimate objective of ra*v.
chanized columns moving on Lerida.
' Except at Tortosa, little; fighting
was reported on the long front
stretching from the Medditerranean
north through central Spain, then
sast to the Tortosa bottleneck and
north to the Pyrenees.
