BATTLE ON AL
COSTLY TO HIGH
POLITICAL BOSS
Senator Simmons Prestige
in North Carolina SkidS
After Fight.
BY LEO 4. SACK

WASHINGTON, May 24-The
influence of the South's biggest
political boss is being weakened be-
cause he has refused to acknowl-
edge the widespread popularity of
Governor Smith of New York, &C
cording to reports reaching here.
For more than thirty years the
word of Senator Furnifold NJ. Sim
mons has been political law in
North Carolina.
His prestige extended to the
Senate, where is he serving his fifth
consecutive term, and is the oldest
Democrat in point Of continuous
service.
Senator Simmons, now "a, might
have continued indefinitely as the
North Carolina dictator but for his
opposition to Governor Smith. He
and Senator Helm, who has no
such influence back home as Sim
mons, have been the Democratic
Bitter-Enders against Smith.
Simmons, who is also the Demo-
cratic national committeeman from
North Carolina, insisted on anti
Smith delegates from his State.
Instead, indications are North Caro-
lima will send twenty-five of it's
twenty-four delegates to Houston in
Structed for Smith.
AT a meeting Of the executive
committee Saturday night Senator
Simmons proposal for a Statewide
primary to determine Smiths pop
ularity was rejected. to l, by men
who owe their rise in politics to him.
Smith sentiment dominated the
meeting.
But the full significance of the
revolt was given to Senators and
others who went to Raleigh to in
vestigate what Senator Hefin al
legged was a huge Doodle fund for
Smith.
Instead they fought a militant
organization with but $500 in cash
and determination to drive Sim
mons organization from power.

Non Stop Planes Jump
From Berlin to Paris

told to take our places and promptly
at noon, without preliminary fuss,
we moved off. Up we went nearly
a mile high, looming along at the
pretty speed of 100 miles an hour
In less than no time we had passed
over the chain of lakes which sur
rounds Berlin and then we we're
over Potsdam, where we had a very
clear view Of the group of mag
nificent Hohenzollern palaces. Then
we passed over a chain of noun
tainS.
At i o'clock we received our first
surprise. A door opened. A neatly
clad waiter asked if it would be
agreeable for us to have lunch
served at l o'clock.
Tables such as are used on Euro
pean trains were rugged up and we
were served hot turtle soup, cold
chicken, veal and beef, lettuce and
tomato salad, fruit salad With
whipped cream, hot coffee.
BY the time we finished our meal.
we were over the Rhine. At 2:45-
los minutes of actual flying time
we were at the extreme west of
Germany, flying over Cologne.
Soon we left Germany behind and
were in France.
At 400 we passed over Rheims
where we got a wonderful view of
the famous cathedral which suffered
so much damage from lombard
ment.
In almost no time we passed
Chateau Thierry, where our boys
stopped them at the Marine. At

ANTI-FASCISTS
ARE BLAMED IN
BOMBING; 6 DIE
Immigrants Are Victims as
BuenOS Aires Consulate
Is Blasted.

BV CHUcd Press
BUENOS AIRES, May PA plot
of extreme anti-Fascists today was
blamed for the bombing of the pass
port bureau of the Italian consulate
in which six persons were killed
and thirty-four injured.
Several Of those injured are not
expected to recover.
There were two bombings. The
first was in the passport bureau of
the consulate and the second was
in a drugstore some distance away.
Authorities linked the two affairs
and blamed it on the extremists.
inasmuch as the drugstore owner is
president of the Fascist committee
in his district.
Immigrants Killed
All those killed at the consulate
we're immigrants. The great room
Ill the two story passport bureau
was filled with immigrants when
the bomb rocked the building. There
were only few of the Italian gov
eminent employees present.
1t was learned, however, that the
Italian ambassador was to have ar
rived ten minutes after the time Of
the bomb explosion as was Consul
General Cappani. Authorities be-
lleved the bomb had been timed to
explode at about the time of the
arrival Of the ambassador.
One Man Is Arrested
1t was one of the worst bomb
outrages since the demonstration
over the executions of the American
radicals, Sacco and Vanzetti, several
months ago. At that time the Ma
tional City Bank was bombed and
authorities today said the consulate
bombipgs Wednesday were greatly
similar to the bank blasting.
One man was under arrest today
on suspicious of completely in the
outrage-Nino Sacco, an anarchist.
Detectives who searched the
wreckage of the consulate passport
office found papers bearing the
name of Nino Sacco. They looked
up the mans record, found him
booked at headquarters as an an
archist and arrested him soon aft
erWard.

BERLIN, May 24.-"On next Sun
DAY Tor the first time in history
and after that every Sunday until
further notice, there will be nom
stop airplane service from Berlin
to Paris
With as much nonchalance as a
railway company displays when
planning a new local train for its
patrons, the great German Luft
Hansa Company calmly announced
this immense advance. There al
ready is a daily service between Ber-
lin and Paris, but the plane lands
at Cologne for about two-hour
stop.
Just what the new Sunday serV-
ice means to business men may be
gathered from this: The fastest
train from Berlin to Paris leaves at
10 Sunday night and reaches the
French capital at Monday after
noon-17 hours.
Faster and Cheaper
The nonstop airplane leaves
Berlin at noon Sunday and is due
in Paris at 5.30-f1ve and Cne-hAlf
hours. And the cost of the trip
is less than by rail, if on the train
one takes a sleeping car berth.
I travelled on the first nonstop
Berlin-Paris plane the company
ran. 1t was a giant Junkers all
metal monoplane fitted up with
immensely powerful Jupiter en-
gines. There were five other pas
sengers, two British flying officers,
two German newspaper men and
Belgian business man.

In the Stock Market
lBy Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, April 11.-At the
present moment there are signs that
public participation in the market is
becoming wary and credit has al
ready reached o subnormal stage.
This latter factor is well proved by
q per cent money rate, a rate
which has made it's appearance but
twice in the past five years. TO my
way Of viewing the situation there
are now in the making the very OPP
posite factors which precipitated the
spectacular advance in trading and
prices and, unless due recognition is
given this situation, some very un-
satisfactory results may make their
appearance. In these few words we
are endeavoring to point out the
dangerous possibilities which are
ahead and which can become imme-
date actualities unless a more con-
sentative attitude is generally en-
ployed There is only one way which
traders can meet contingencies
which face them and that is to i'm
mediately adopt a very conservative
policy.

wheat PRICES
SHOOT UPWARD
IN PITS TODAY
Major Grain Scars Above
3 Cents at One Time;
Corn, Oats Lose.
BIZ URitcd Press


CHICAGO, April 11.-Wheat
futures shot into a spectacular up
turn on the Chicago Board of
Trade today, boosted by bullish
government reports Tuesday on the
winter wheat situation Corn and
oats followed the bulge.
Tuesdays Government report,
placing condition Of the winter
wheat crop at 68.8 per cent of
normal, where 1877 had been ex-
pected took the trade by surprise
The opening developed into d mad
scramble for wheat, led by frantic
shorts who were taking it easy, be-
lieving they had doped the situa-
ton correctly from the recent
mildly bullish private reports.
The bulge was aided by cables
that Liverpool had taken the re-
ports seriously and had advanced
sharply. Chicago prices scared 81
cent at one time, shorts swapping
up enormous proflt-taking offerings.
A flood Of buying orders from all
parts Of the country prevented a
slump.
Corn advanced sharply early in
the day, in sympathy with wheat,
but profit-taking cut down the
gains. There were light receipts and
strong cash demand from industries.
Oats advanced with wheat, but
sold Off when corn dipped. Re-
ports of damage from freezing
weather aided the bulge.
