CONTEST Legislative and Local Half Dozen States On Schedule YORK ASSEMBLY CLAIMING SPOTLIGHT Willing to Make New Issue If Republicans Fight For Kentucky Governorship Looms Important President Vote Nov 2--(AP)--Contestants offices in half a dozen their choicest stump tonight as Tuesday's elec approached possibly with material for 1936 Presidential strategists interest renters on the for the New York assembly the Kentucky governorship and the Philadelphia mayorality Some observers hope to find evidence of the way political winds are blowing in the New Jersey legislative elections In Virginia where a new legislature is to be chosen and in Mississippi where legislative and other state offices are at issue little or nothing in the way of auguries for 1936 are expected President Roosevelt will cast his vote in the New York elections in 1 which national Democratic leaders have accepted the challenge of Re publicans to make the New Deal an Issue "The New Deal stands at the bar of public opinion in the native state of its 'leaders" said Henry Fletcher Republican national chair man as the week-end campaigning came to a close Farley Willing Postmaster General Farley the national and New York state Democratic chairman is willing to make it a New Deal test "if the Republicans want to have it that way" al- though he has insisted state issues only were involved Both houses of the legislature are Damocratic but assembly seats will be the only ones at stake Tuesday The Democrats now have a majority of four counting a vacancy to be filled in a normally Democratic Manhattan district A Republican victory undoubtedly would be hailed by national party leaders as a rather reliable indication of a decline in popularity for the New Deal and have an important bearing on future national campaigning Should the Democrats hold their slender majority and pick up some seats observers here may look upon it as disproof of the argument that Roosevelt has lost ground in the East Although some national Democratic leaders claim their party split over the Kentucky governorship will be narrowed by election time Republicans nope to benefit by the dissension and put over their candidate Judge King Swope who has campaigned solely on state issUes National Tinge Lieutenant-Governor A Chandler the Democratic candidate has urged a Democratic victory to "assure the reelection of President Roosevelt in 1936" giving the race a national tinge Governor Ruby Laffoon whose candidate Thomas Rhea was defeated by Chandler In the September run-off primary said he would support the Democratic ticket down the line but would "not support" Chandler whom he called "just a crooning dancing young man" John Kelly former Olympic Oarsman is seeking to become the first Democratic mayor of Philadelphia His opponent is Davis Wilson city controller a Republican who was elected to his present post on a Democratic-town meeting ticket Political capital will be made of the outcome either way it goes but observers feel its primary significance will lie in the strength it shows for the organization headed by Senator Joseph Guffey Democrat In Pennsylvania There have been reports that Pennsylvania next to New York as the chief electoral vote provider in a national election has been slipping away from the New Deal but Democrats are taking heart in the unofficial registration figures showing a state gain of 297000 over last fall for the Democrats to only 12000 for the Republicans The mayor's race reached the peak of bitter contesting this week end with a grand Jury report charging Wilson used part of a 265- 000 municipal fund "tor political purposes" Wilson contended he had been "victimized" and if unqualified men worked at polling places they did so without his knowledge New Jersey will elect its entire general assembly of 60 members now composed of 34 Republicans and 26 Democrats Eight of its 21 Senators are up for reelection seven Republicans and one Democrat Walter Edge tomer ambassador to France

State College outgrew its new stadium suit the third time it wore it More than a thousand people than there were seats turned out for 1 the State-Carolina game yesterday' It was by far the largest football crowd ever assembled in Raleigh Auditor Hutchinson of the college said there were nearly 16000 people present and accounted for The new stands seated 14500 of in the aisles The rest perched on bleachers at the ends of the playing field or sprawled upon the north-end bank Mr Hutchinson didn't count the boys who peered from dormitory windows and out of the roof-top of South Dormitory (you may see them for yourself In the picture) Nor did he include the boys and men who turned monkey to see the game from overhanging limbs AU Didn't Pay The tree window and roof-sitters didn't pay Neither did some 2000 State students and upward of 3000 Carolina students got in for 50 cents Carolina facultymen paid a dollar Standing roomers got their tickets for $165 and the folks who were forehanded and got reserved seats shelled $220 each Th vn there were passes and Governor Ehringhaus' sales tax and Uncle Sam's admission tax were enriched by three and ten per cent of the gross respectively That means you can't multiply 16000 people by $2 tickets and get the take In fact Auditor Hutchinson aaid It wouldn't run over $13000 Busy Announcer Another record was set at the game Public address

Foreclose On Lake Myra Mortgage Victor Stonebanks member of special committee aiding the Wake grand jury in its probe of the county's sinking fund yesterday addressed a letter to the County 1Commcssioners in which he asked why they had not foreclaed on a long-overdue mortgage against the Lake Myra property on which a $25000 option was taken recently by the board on a proposal to develop the site as a public park Mr Stonebanks explained that he was writing as a citizen and not as member of the grand jury committee He also explained that he was putting the query at this time because the Commissioners are due to act on their option next week Seeking STA Aid The Commissioners took the option from Woodall owner of the property some two months ago with the understanding that the county could purchase the land at $25000 in event a WPA application was approved for a like amount to develop the site Charles Harris attorney for a group of citizens interested in the park said that he has been told WPA officials have given tentative approval to the project The option was renewed about a month ago and is due to expire again next Tuesday The board must act on or before that date or the option will lapse Loan Made 1929 Mr Stonebanks in his letter pointed out that records show the county made a $10000 loan on the property in 1929 from its sinking fund No interest has been paid on the loan since 1931 he said and (Please Turn to Page Two) being sold legally in 17 counties but delivered itself of an opinion declaring that the question technically was not before it man on the

airplanes in retaliation were said to be flying over the Danakil territory daily using bombs and machine guns upon warriors below Authoritative sources said Ethiopia has made plans to rush troops into the central sector to prevent any Italian march upon the vital railroad running from Addis Ababa to Djibouti French Somaliland Ethiopian military leaders were expecting at almost any time a drive to cut off the railroad Ethiopia's only modern access to the sea and the outside world Italy's objective it was said would be the town of Afdem 60 miles west of Diredawa Emperor Haile Selassie was

command on the latest techniques of the pro fession Captain John Meade 32-year-old field artillery officer was instructed to go to Addis Ababa as military attache to the legation there Army officials

department revealed that Major Norman Fiske now assistant military attache at Rome would report "sometime between Nov 12 and Jan 1" to the Italian army in the Ethiopian frontier as an official military observer Both the mbves have been rum ored for several weeks When Fisk first was ordered to the Rome post about a month ago it was pre that he would end up as an observer with the Ethiopian forces inasmuch as the Italian government had declined permission tb foreign military observers to accompany front line troops Today's order clarified his status Both men are noted in army circles for their proficient horsemanship a necessary requisite to one accompanying combat troops in rough country as found in Ethiopia Fiske 42 served a year as assist ant attache at Rome in 1929-30 after

report of an Amer lean Legion Investigating committee adopted by the national executive committee and made public tonight The committee headed by Quhnby Melton publisher of the Griffin Ga Daily News placed individual responsibility on no one but demanded a Congressional investigation and punishment of the responsible parties It also recommended that any further rehabilitation work among veterans be supervised by the Veterans AdmInistration rather than the FERA or any other governmental agency Recommendations The eommitte urged extension of weather bureau fccilities to prevent delay in issuance of hurricane warnings and asked that a regiment of United States Army engineers be stationed at or near Miami during the hurricane season to render aid in case of disaster "The lives of every one of the men could have been saved if they had been evacuated quickly enough to the mainland" the report set forth Referring to the burning of bodies of storm victims the report stated that Governor

security and expansion that the statement contains definite' concessions frotn Italy's original position A discordant note from Ethiopia clashed with a conciliatory keynote in a closing speech today An imposing list of spokesmen including British French Belgian Spanish and Argentine had just finished stressing the Leagues desire to continue a search for a pathway to peace when an urgent appeal arrived from the Ethiopian delegation for funds Wants Money 'Ethiopia respectfully begs the members of the League" said the note "to grant financial assistance to defend Ethiopia's peaceful existence

"Public Enemy Number One" today following the fixing of Nov 18 as the date to apply boycotts against Italy Other nations which supported the sanctions program as Geneva will receive the same reprisals from Italy as are planned against Britain it was authoritatively stated but feeling against Great Brit am was stronger than that against France with whom Italy wishes to preserve a basis of understanding The long arm of Fascism reached out into every community and steered an organized movement to answer boycott with boycott British goods were said to be unwanted by many merchants The movement to "buy Italian" grew In Genoa last night posters reading "This store sells foreign goods' were pasted on many windows Meanwhile General Emilio de Bono commanding the Italian troops in

TASK Withdrawal of Federal Funds to Put Heavy Load On State and Communities The Nem and Obsereet Bureau 1 1232 National Prom Building I By ROBERT WILLIAMS Washington Nov direct 1 federal relief now expected to be ended in North Carolina on November 15 the state and local communities will have a considerable load thrust upon them according to the latest available figures of the FERA Out of some 53000 families on relief some 70 per cent is expected to be provided for by the WPA and other forms of work relief leaving the remainder classed as unemployables and a charge upon the state and local communities Figures made public today by the FERA show that for the second quarter of the year ending onJune 30 1935 the federal government bore 998 per cent of total relief costs in North Carolina as against an average of 763 per cent for the entire country Paid No Part North Carolina was one of nine states to pay no share whatever of the costs Its local units bore only 2 per cent of the cost a lower amount than any state except South Carolina where the federal government paid the whole bill The federal government paid as much as 90 per cent of the cost in 14 states the others besides the Carolinas being Alabama Arkansas Colorado Florida Georgia Mississippi New Mexico North Dakota Ohio South Dakota Texas and Wyoming But at that the federal contribution was less in North Carolina than In many states where the federal government paid a much smaller percentage of the total due to the lower standards of relief For the last month for which figures are available the total average expenditure for leach family on relief in the United States was $2934 per month However the total cost in North Carolina was only $1610 The range in the states was from a low of $1132 in South Carolina to a high of $4948 in Massachusetts with South Carolina Oklahoma and Kentucky were the only states haying lower expenditures per family than North Carolina But although the relief burden per family which local units in North Carolina are now being called upon to shoulder is lower than it is in 44 of the other 47 states It is considerably higher than it was two years ago When the FERA was organized and replaced the state organizations which had been set up with federal loans from the RFC the average (Please Turn to Page Two) Fund New Torii Nov Creation of a $60000000 fund by General

has no chance of winning it There was so much discussion of the possibility that the King of Kings would get the a ward that the newspaper Dagens-Nyheter asked Prof Frederik Stang of Oslo president of the peace committee about the matter Stang said it would be impossible for Haile Selassie to win it this year as he was not proposed prior to the statutory time limit The prize is to be awarded at the end of this month CRIMINALS TURN TO NEW ATTACK Trying to Hide Behind Constitution Protection From New Crime Laws Washington Nov 2--(AP)--The Justice Department disclosed today that gangsters now are trying to hide behind the Constitution for protection from the new crime laws Hit hard by the new kidnapping and firearms registration laws which have sent the G-men after them with freshly-hewn clubs gangsters are attacking the constitutionality of those acts Seven convicted as kidnappers have assailed that law Another sentenced to death for assaulting officers called that act unconstitutional in an appeal for reprieve Still a third group indicted for possessing a machine gun challenged the firearms law with the same contention Business Racket With such organized crimes as kidnapping and bank robbing on the wane the department is now turning to the so-called "business racket" field In this they believe millions of dollars in tribute have been collected from helpless tradesmen and eitizns by gangsters in exchange for promises not to molest their business The attacks against the constitutionality of the crime laws will present to the Supreme Court in new form some of the thorny questions that have been asked it before The kidnapping and stolen property laws rest upon the power of the government to regulate interstate commerce It is like NRA in that respect The firearms registration law like AAA is based upon Federal taxing power Laws against killing Federal agents and escaping from Federal custody rely upon the general powers of the government In their first attacks upon the laws the gangsters have lost Government lawyers said every court that had ruled upon the new crime laws upheld their legality None 6f them has yet reached the Su tfll UANIZ113 117 gatwtula
