Hamilton Quits Hamilton, executive assistant to Fletcher, announced his resignation from that post yesterday in order io tour the nation for Landon, Kansas governor. This move was widely regarded a: heralding a more aggressive drive to garner eonven t.on votes for Landon. Hamilton, who will remain in of liee as the committee’s general counsel, was one of the first Landon pledged delegates from , his home state of Kansas. He now plans a tour as “national organizer for the voluntary committee” working for Landon support. The supporters of Senator Borah of Idaho also were hastening their pre-convention strategy.

The new soil conservation program was much better received jiy the 200 and more farmers and agricultural leaders attending the Memphis meet ing than some reports would indi cate, declared Schaub. “Os course,” he said, “nearly every person there had some recommenda tion to make with reference to his particular situation, but since the meeting had to decide on certain definite objectives which would cover he entire farming situation in the south, many pet plans were voted down and only those workable over a large area were reported to the meeting by the eight different com mittees which were appointed. There was much vigorous discussion and difference of opinion but the group is a whole was pleased with the program as finally adopted and the regulations that were finally recom mended.” Better Adapted To State The dean said North Carolina far mers must keep in mind the program is a voluntary one and no farmer (Continued on back page) Games Scheduled to Be Held On Tuesday and Thursday Nights in Local Gym.

Mr. Hall, already known and loved by scores of Lincolnton people by reason of his frequent visits here during childhood, in his preliminary remarks expressed his pride and pleasure in being granted the privi lege of "coming home” to preach.

Brandeis, Oldest Member, Is Nearly 80 Roberts Is Youngest of Group Washington, March 11. —When the voters decide next November who shall be President for the next four years, the average age of the justices of the Supreme court will be just a shade past 71 years. These apparently irrelevant mat ters have been linked together in the swirl of campaign oratory that al ready is rising. Both speakers and writers are pre dicting that the winner of the presi dential race this November will nomi nate from one to a majority of mem bers of the highest court. The argument is bottomed upon a grim tabulation of life expectancy with the actual years of the nine present justices. On election day, Justice Brandeis, the eldest member of the court, will be only 10 days away from his 80th birthday. Justice Roberts, the young est, will have passed 61. May Change Membership The man inaugurated as the next President is to serve until 1941. Both parties have pointed out that the White House occupant may have much to do with changing the mem bership of the highest court before his term ends. Justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the sen ate. Before this month ends, a sixth member of the court—Justice Butler —will have reached his 70th birthday and the right to retire on full pay of $20,000 a year. A justice is eligible to retire at 70 after 10 years on the federal bench. Justice Brandeis has been eligible to put aside the ermine since 1926. Others in this group are Chief Justice Hughes and Associate Jus tices Mcßeynolds and Sutherland, who will each pass 74 before election, and Justice Van DeVanter who will ' be 77 then. But resignations are not expected.

Foreign Minister Pierre-Etienne Fandin went to London for vital conversations beginning tomorrow, French officials said, “almost” con vinced he should make a “preventive war” against Adolf Hitler now, rath er than “submit to carnage two years from now when treaty breakers will be strong.” The French delegation carried with it to the London Locarno and league talks a mandate to stand firm for punishment of the reich. “France,” officials said, “know war is coming in two years anyway. Ws might as well have it now, while we arc prepared. Would Protect Honor “The only way in which Hitler’s troops will leave the Rhineland is for the Locarno signatories to drive them out, but a stitch in time saves r.ine. ‘ cf -y‘ “There comes a time when a nation refuses to be humiliated in front of the world. French honor is at stake and we are ready to draw the sword if necessary to keep it unsullied.” The army commission of the cham ber of deputies viewed the situation so seriously that it decided to send a six-man delegation to inspect frontier fortification tonight. Amid fears of possible war, 20 deputies made a pilgrimage to the battlefields of Verdun, where France snd Germany once locked in a world conflict. Premier Mussolini’s willingness to stand with France was said frankly by officials to have brought France to pledge to work for the removal of sanctions against Italy. France, they added, probably will shortly abolish a prohibition against Italian goods and loosen financial restrictions with out awaiting action by the league. Should France do this, they said, her allies probably would follow, es pecially Yugoslavia and Rumania, whose sanctions against Italy were never enthusiastic. If France quits the league, they added, these others also probably would do so. Flandin left for London late today rccompanied by four advisers and his daughter, Mme. Breguet, wire of a military plane manufacturer. He was reported ready to tell Britain that France is not alone in her de sire to see Germany punisheu. Officials said Britain must hack France at this time in order to pre vent “the death of the league of na tions.” Thirty Yancey county fanners have placed a co-operative order for les pedeza, red clover, orchard grass, timothy and tobacco seed.
