Confident of keeping his empire
Intact, the emperor said “Thus far

scattered detachments of our troops
who have shown traditional bravery.
Although the Italians have been at
tacking a month, our army Is still
quite intact. Their deathless devo

Air Bombardment
Hie Ethiopian government an
nounced that 30 women, 15 children,
and 100 cows were killed last Sat
urday in the aerial bombardment of
the area about Gorrahel.
Sentiment against the British,
feverish throughout Italy, broke into
a new demonstration in Milan. Stu
dents rioted about stores where Brit
ish goods were on display, shouting
praise of Austria, fchich. with Hun
gary, has refrained from Joining in
the sanctions campaign against
Italy.
In Geneva officials of the league
of nations felt that Italy would feel
the throttling effects of the econo
mic sanctions by the first of the
year. The pessimistic attitude re
garding a peace settlement in Ethio
pia at this time was clearly indi
cated in London. Informed persons
said that conversations at Geneva
between Sir Samuel Hoare and
Baron Pompeo Alois! of Italy ended
in a complete deadlock in their
efforts to reach a basis, for peace.
Endeavors to find a basis for set
tlement will continue through dip
lomatic intercourse however.

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. 4.—He sel

could hardly hope for All-American
honors even if he were the mo6t

the country. He Is the unsung hero,
the human scythe who clears the
path so that the other backs on his

Such Is the role of Herman

North Carolina’s great blocking back

valuable—maybe more so—as any
man In the backfield. No less an

Justices Differ
On Presentation
Of Liquor Statute
Clarkson Writes Lengthy Dissenting
Minority Opinion On
Situation.
RALEIGH, Nov. 4.—Holding that
thr constitutionality of the so-called
New Hanover and Pasquotank liquor
laws enacted by the 1935 general as
sembly is not properly, before the
court, the N. C supreme court Fri
day. in a three to one opinion, holds
that an injunction against officials
calling an election is not a proper
course, and that indictment would
be the course to take. Justice
Michael Schenck wrote the opinion,
to which Justice Heriot Clarkson,
known dry leader, dissented, holding
the injunction proper.
Dissolve Injunction
The opinion dissolves the injunc
tion issued by Judge Clawson Wll
tiams and preventing Franklin coun
ty from holding an election on the
sale of liquor in the county, and
Franklin officials Immediately set to
work to call an r'wtion to vote on
the proposal. Sixteen other coun
ties voted favorably and are now
selling liquor, and one, Rockingham,
defeated the proposal.
“Only those who can allege and
prove that there will be irreparable
damage to them by the enforce
ment of a statute are privileged to
ask the judicial department to ex
ercise its high prerogative of set
ting at‘naught a solemn act of its
co-ordinate legislative department.”
the opinion holds. Allegations of
personal or property damage, dis
crimination and others are not
established, and if the act is not
constitutional, then the plaintiffs
“have an adequate remedy at law by
having indicted and prosecuted those
persons doing such things,” Judge
Schenck's opinion holds.
Clarkson's Opinion
Justice Clarkson writes a vigorous
and lengthy dissenting opinion, in
which it is held that the injunction
is the proper course. "I think the
act unconstitutional as impinging
four article of the, constitution of
North Carolina, and void for uncer
tainty. and injunctive relief should
have been granted,” Justice Clark
son holds, citing the fundamental
democratic principle of “equal rights
and opportunities to all. special
privileges to none ”
Saying he had disagreed with his
brethren not to be disagreeable, he
quoted: We are against the evil, not
against those who differ with us. In

Drouth, AAA, Blamed for Bread Price
Increase Facing U. S. Housewives
A f! A TX1
10W17 iou oi oreaa
proudly bold* the spotlight
« the center ot nation-wide
controversy.
With the price of bread in
created in several large cities
and forecasts of higher prices
for the country generally, an
ominous rumble is heard from
the housewife sector.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Agri
culture Henry A. Wallace and
the baking Industry have been
wrangling over the one cent in
crease in the price ot a loaf of
bread, proposed recently.
Baking concerns contend that
flour costa are up as much as
12 a barrel: that shortening
, prices have risen from 200 to
300 per cent: and that all other
ingredients are higher in price.
They point out that this year's
wheat crop will probably be 60,
000,000 bushels short, which
may result in Jacking up still
further the price of flour.
A huge share of the blame
the bakers attribute to Mr. Wal
lace’s own AAA processing
taxes: also to the drouth, and
that mysterious, devastating dis
ease called “rust," which, blown
on. the wind, spoiled great areas
of wheat throughout the nation
last year.
Wallace countered with the
accusation that the cost of in
gredients. in recent months, has
increased only about ft cent a
loaf; furthermore, he contends
the bakers themselves have as
serted that operating expenses,
not the cost of Ingredients, form
the largest item in the retail
price of bread.
According to the secretary,
the proposed one cent increase
would cost consuming (and
fuming) housewives about 300
million dollars a year, and bring
to millers a profit of about haif
that amount.
• • •
TN a hearing held to Justify the
± one cent price Increase, it
was decided that the variety of
factors involved—L e., baking
formulas and local conditions—
make it very dillicult to esti
mate relative costs.
However, the D. 8. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics offers
statistics which reveal that the
cost ot materials for a loaf of
bread has more than doubled
since 1983, whether or not this
Justifies a price Increase now.
Here’s the table:

The proportion of materials that go to make up an average loaf
of bread is Indicated below. Since 1988 the price of flour iif a
loaf of bread has risen 1.61 cent; milk, .05 cent; lard substitute,
.22 cent; and malt. .02 cent, statistics reveal.

This table, of course, does not
Include labor and delivery costs.
Since these vary in different
parts of the country, it is virtu
ally impossible to arrive at a fig
ure which represents accurate
ly the average cost of getting a
loaf of bread to the consumer.
However, a Senate committee
report of 1931, when the retail
price of a loaf was 8-7 cants,
gives in these estimates an ap
proximate idea: ,.

Among its findings, the 1931
committee reported that: large
bakeries did not pass on to the
consumer a decrease in the price
of wheat, even though white
flour prices generally reflected
that decrease; the bread retail
er usually obtained a one cent
profit per loaf: and there was a
distinct trend toward monopoly
in control of the bread-baking
industry.
TENNESSEE NEGRO
SHOT BY 5 WHITES
WHITE BLUFF, Tenn., Nov. 4.—
A negro listed as Baxter Bell, 35,
