TEACHERS GET
OCTOBER PAY
Frank FitzSimons and Tom
Freeman New Officers
Education Group

Today was pay day for Hen
derson county school teachers and
they came to town in force to at
tend a meeting at the courthouse,
10 visit the bank and to shop.
About $4,000 was released, this
sum representing October salaries
paid bv the state in the opera
ton of the eight-months term.
At the meeting at the court
house, Frank FitzSimons of the
Dana school, was elected presl-
dent of the local unit of the
North Carolina Educational asso-
citation to succeed Martin Gar
rem of Etowah school. Tom Free
man of Etowah, was named sec
retary-treasurer; succeeding Ern-
est Justus, principal at Flat ROCK.
R. R. Anders, county superin-
tendent,. discussed the need for
economy in the operation of
school buses and in the use OF
water and lights. Appropriations
for these purposes were greatly
reduced this year by the state,
Superintendent Anders said, and
it is absolutely necessary that the
several schools keep such ex-
penses within the budget.
Francis Wilder, county direc-
tor of federal-state relief work,
said a plan was being worked out
whereby children in families who
are on the county relief list may
be fed lunches at school each
day. He said also that school
books may now be supplied with
federal money and the cost work
ed out by parents of the children
receiving the books. In the be-
ginning of the school year, the
county appropriated $500 for
this purpose but this fund has
been spent and future needs in
this respect will be met by the
relief office.

lieved To Be Hiding
in New York

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-(UP).

Spanknoebel, reputed to be chief
propaganda agent for the German

Medalie:-
Spanknebel, whose activities
have been widely discussed re-
Gently in connection with efforts
to organize a rally of German,
Americans, supposedly under Nazi
auspices. disappeared last We'd
nesday.
Reports that he had sailed Sc
cretly for Europe. fearing arrest
here, were given small credence
in official quarters. 1t was under
stood that Spanknoebel is in Sc
olusion somewhere near New York
City.
The warrant was based on a
wartime statute directed against
anyone "acting as an agent OF the
German government in the United
States without being diplomatic
representative or consular officer
or attache and without notifying
the state department of his &C
TONS" .,
Medalie. some days ago, asked
for additional data on Spanknoe-
bells activities in this country aft
er German-American newspapers
had accused him of organizing a
widespread propaganda bureau IN
the United States. -,
Jewish leaders asserted that
Count Felix Won Luckner, famous
German "sea devil" and author, IS
en- route to this country osten-
sibly as lecturer but actually to
take over operation of the propa-
panda bureau here.
In the event of his conviction
on the charge brought against
him, Spanknoebel would be faced
with a five-year prison term and
a $4,000 fine.

Roosevelt Looks
Into Speculation
May Have in Mind Recon-

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt is studying
carefully the extent of sp> cula-,
tive operations in commodity ana
stock markets, it was learned last
night.
Whether this interest portendG-
ed an administration policy look
ing toward control measures
could not readily be determined,
although some close friends were
insistent that legislation designed
to curb violent price fluctuations
would be recommended when con-
gress meets.
In connection with the specula-
ton problem, it was noted that 4
survey revealed transactions IN
the Chicago grain market as at
least 80 per cent speculative, ana
that the staggering total of loo'-
600, 900 bushels of wheat now was
in the hands of operators WHO VINO
were holding it to sell at prom
when the time was ripe.
Sharp fluctuations recently III
grain prices were ascribed by au.
ministration friends as due almost
entirely to the spectators VINO
forced the price of that common,
ity up to 81 a bushel. then down
to 6S cents, and finally to Vhe
present figure of SO cents.

FORD RESENTS COMPLIANCE
THRUSTS; WILL FILE REPORT
Statement Charges John
sons Threat Is an Act
of Injustice; Will
Abide by Law

DEARBORN. Mich, Oct. 28.-
(UP).-The Ford Motor company
intends to comply with the auto
mobile code as law, it was learned
last night after the company is
sued a statement resenting the
threat of NRA Administrators
Hugh Johnson to recommend pros
ecution for a violation.

Washington, declaring he would
take action against the company
if it did not submit reports re-
quired under the code.
Almost Immediately, counter
statement attacking Johnson was
released at Ford headquarters
here. The statement charged that
Johnson's threat was an "act of
Injustice" 1t challenged the NRA

fused compliance, before assum-
ing the airs of a dictator"

Ford does intend to submit the
reports of his operations to the
National Automobile Chamber OF

sponsible for code administration.

GOLF CLUB TO
PROCEED With
WINTER WORK
Completion of Links as
Soon as Possible Is
Objective

Construction of the second nine
holes of the golf course of the
Hendersonville Golf and Country
club will proceed this winter as
rapidly as available funds and
the weather will permit, the
board of governors decided last
night at a meeting at the club
house.
With repair work and other
improvements on the first nine
holes we'll advanced, the board
surveyed the financial and other
requirements for completing the
1S-hole Donald Ross course and
agreed that while sufficient
money may not be available to
get the entire layout ready for
play next summer, a large part
of the new construction can be
accomplished this winter. With
the view to planting the greens
next spring, a nursery has been
laid out and it is expected that
sufficient stolen for nine greens
can be grown this fall and win
ter. Meanwhile fairways will be
cleared, traps and bunkers shap-
ed up, sites for the green's Guilt
waited and other work done as
rapidly as possible. Purchase of
fairway seed and the task of tile
draining three or four of the
fairways will not be undertaken
until the income from club mem
berships, green fees and sale of
stock is adequate for the pur-
pose. Ten of the original 500
shares of owner-membership stock
remain in possession of the club,
and if these can be sold this
winter the proceeds will go far
toward completing the course,
DR.. j. G. Bennett, chairman of
the board, said.
Rapidity with which the work
progresses this winter will de-
pend largely on the cooperation
of club members and in the
amount of labor available through
the county office of the federal
state relief administration, it was
said. Five men are on the pay
roll of the club at present and
these will be retained as long as
possible this winter, in addition
to the men who may be assigned
to the club by the relief admin
istration.
In the last few weeks, wash
outs on the fairways of the first
nine holes have been repaired,
drain bitches constructed, tees
reseeded and the sides of bunk
ers and traps sodded or seeded:
Bare spaces on the fairways will
be fortified and reseeded and
traps will be filled with new
sand. DR.. Bennett said, so that
the course will be in the best
possible condition for the open
ing of the new season next
spring.
]. X. pink Drake, who was
employed at the course when 1t
was first laid out by Donald Ross
for Laurel Park Estates, has been
retained by the club as greens
keeper and foreman of construc-
ton. He has lately been in
charge of the course at Waynes-
vile. and in addition to his duties
on the course is qualified to give
instructions in golf.

LIVINOFF FORESEES
BRIEF CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP).
Federal Coordinator of Transpor-
tation Eastman rejected bids for
more than million tons of steel
rails which were to have been
used to relay tracks of the ma
tions railroads.
Eastman, in rejecting the bids.
said there appeared to be collu
sion in the submission of the pro-
posals.
"The facts that these letters
bear a common date, that they
name the identical price for first
quality rails for mills and that
this price is the odd figure of
$37.75 per gross ton, point un-
mistakable to the conclusion that
the letters were the result Of
consultation and collision. In
confirmation of this statement it
is noted that the letter frbm Uni
ted States Steel corporation con-
cluded with the following SEN
tence.
"If any of our competitors file
a lower price than above, we will
of course refile to meet their
price,"
Other companies, the bids of
which were rejected, besides the
United States Steel, were Beth
lehem Steel. Inland Steel and
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
