Ford Says Farmers “Fatheads” To Allow Production To Be Cut WAYS, Ga, March 26.—Crop curtailment was denounced by Hen ly Ford today as a violation of na tural laws and the "security of plen ty." "If the fanners allow land to lie idle, they’ll suffer,” the automobile manufacturer said in disclosing a pioject here in his program, for correlation of agriculture and indus try. In an interview at his 5,000-acre plantation "Cherry Hill,” Ford said the use of leisure in agricultural pursuits, besides providing economic security, serves to keep people out of trouble and lessens the chance of war. “The only way to end war is to make people fear it,” he said, add ing war in this country is controll-j ed by 25 or 30 individuals He charged they are real "public enemies’ and should be tracked down Just as other public enemies. The motor magnate said crop re striction was the brain child of the ‘underneath government,” which he explained was a government com posed of persons interested in their own profit, and one the people could not see. "People are fatheads to let them jet away with it,” he said. "Raise something, look to the land. The minute you make produce cheap, someone will find new uses for it.” He said financiers are interested In crop control to keep prices up so they could make more money, add ing: “It’s selfish and wrong, the gov ernment shouldn’t allow it.” A nurse or capable helper to care for the infirm and aged inmates of the Cleveland county home wa$ recommended yesterday by the grand jury which made a report to Judge J. H. Clement and the March term of Superior court. The report was made by R. E. Campbell who indicated that the men went in a body to all the county institutions and public offices and found all in good condition with the exception of heat and a minor re pair job at the county home. County commissioners are expect ed to pass on the recommendation at their next regular meeting. Joe Blanton two weeks ago said he was planning to recommend to the board that such a step be made and said today he will indorse the move. He said there are such a large num ber of inmates who cannot possibly have sufficient meical care and at tention with only the wife of the superintendent to help, and with her having other multiplied jobs to do a the same time. The recommenda tion is: “We visited the County home and find that the superintendent and his wife are doing everything humanly possible to care for the aged and infirm. However due to the large number of aged inmates it is im possible to adequately provide and care for such a large number of aged and infifm patients with the present personnel. We respectfully recommend that steps be taken to secure the service* of some compe tent person whole sole duties will be to minister to sufferings of these aged persons. We would suggest that a lady attendant be employed capable of rendering the services necessary.

Hitler’s “No” Tightens Crisis AmongNations By The Associated Preen LONDON, March 25.—Adolph Hitler’s rejection ol the Locarno powers proposal tightened the Eu ropean crisis over German occupa tion of the Rhlneiana and was de liberated by Prime Minister Stan ley Baldwins cabinet today at Its regular weekly meeting. Hitler’s refusal to withdraw troops from the Rhineland or to accept a judgment, by the World Court and otuganyy •Mfftflwnf ggansir® He Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact threw the Rhineland negotia tions back to the Locarno powers. The councillors of the League of Nations left London, putting up to Britain’s foreign secretary, An thony Eden, and the other Locarno diplomats the task of finding a way out of the new greater Impasse. Now informed sources said It was for the statesmen of the individual powers to try to sort out the tan gled threads of the nation’s differ ences in such a way that a basis might be found for restoring collec tive security and renewing Euro pean confidence. BERLIN, March 25.—(/P)—Trade negotiations between Germany and Soviet Russia have come to a halt, both German and Russian official squires said today since Adolph Hitler’s March 7 Reichstag speech announcing occupation of the Rhineland and denunciation of the Locarno pact. This did not mean an actual rupture of negotiations these .sources said but postpone ment in dealings over a German loan and delay in completing cur rent trade arrangements for 1936. Two More Talked A* Likely To Run For Legislature About the streets of Shelby this week when court is in session and politics is discussed on the side, two more possible candidates for the General Assembly were talked free ly. A. E, Cline, former chairman of the board of county commissioners who made a state-wide reputation with a budgeting system which he installed, has been approached by friends, urging him to enter the race. Mr. Cline is in a receptive frame of mind. He would not enter a bitter fight to obtain the nomina tion at the hands of the Democrats in the June primary, but would be willing to offer himself if a suffic ient number of voters desire him to do so. Then William Plonk, Kings Moun tain merchant has been suggested by quite a few voters in No. 4 town ship. He is In the prime of life, has a wide family connection In that section and gained an acquaintance with politics when he served as pri vate secretary to Judge E. Y. Webb when Mr. Webb was in congress. Kings Mountain people feel that they are entitled to furnish the representative this year and it is understood that they will offer a can j didate. That candidate may be Cline | or Plonk or Wiley McGinnis whose name was reported some weeks ago [as a possibility.

The names, 728, in all were drawn from the giant drum by throngs of pretty nurses, who manned it.

Prize money coming to Amer icans will total about $1,1250,000.

Two proposed routes for federal highway No,. 74 crossing the South ern railway tracks have been pre sented to the state highway depart ment. The difference in the two routes is that one has more of a curve from the present highway into No. 29. Both proposals suggest that the highway cross the railroad tracks at the corner of Railroad avenue and King street by an overhead bridge. By one plan the west sirfe of Rail road avenue at the intersection of King street would be blocked- In both plans the two service stations [at the comer of Railroad avenue and King street would have to be moved, according to the map sub mitted.
