NEW EUROPEAN
CRISIS ADDING
MORE TENSION
Heavier Guards Thrown
Upon Austro-German
Frontier !

PARIS, Aug. 9. (UP)-Ten-
sion in Europe over the Austro-
German controversy grew today
following announcement yester-
day that France and Great Brit
ain had agreed to take concert
ed energetic action at Geneva"
if Germany renews her anti
Austrian demonstrations on the
Austrian frontier.
This decision was reached af-
ter daylong exchanges of views
through diplomatic channels. 1t
was regarded as particularly i'm
portant, in view of Germany's
blunt communique yester d y,
maintaining neither France nor
England had any right to inter
fere in a dispute involving the
central powers.
The French and British prob
ably will not reply to the Ger
man communique, the United
Press was informed. A French
spokesman said they were inclin-
ed to view it "charitably" as
Chancellor Adolph Hitler's first
attempt to handle a "big iterna-
tional incident"
The Franco-British action at
Geneva probably will consist of
an appeal to the council or as
sembly of the League of. Nations
to act, if the Nazi party in
Germany persists in its propa-
ganda campaign against the ad-
ministration in Austria of Chan
cellor Engelberg Dollfuss, which
is causing growing ten i o n
throughout the continent.
Premier Edourd Daladier in
terested himself in the develop
ments personally, and consulted
Foreign Minister Joseph Paul
Boncour by telephone at Plom-
bieres, where the latter is on
vacation.

JURY IMPANELLED;
INQUEST NOT SET

David Dalton, aged IL, grand
son Of James Dalton of the Bro

yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock about mile and half
from Hendersonville on the Bre-

a scooter when the accident oc

and the neck broken at the base
of the skull.
Coroner j. F. Brooks, who in
vestigated Immediately. said that
he found indications that the body
of the child had been thrown or
carried distance of almost 100
feet down the highway. One of
the child's shoes was found about
an eighth of mile away from
the scene of the accident.
Coroner Brooks has empanelled
jury composed of Bryan Mer-
rell, j. S.. Bruce, Willie S. Jones.
John Leatherwood, T. B. Allison
and Horace Case, but date for

morning.
The only eye witnesses to the
accident were Erline Duncan.
Mary Orr, and Mack Palmer, three
children, who were playing in
field about a quarter of mile
from the accident. These children
said they were attracted by the
crash and then saw the car drive
on faster than before. The car
was described as a red Ford.
One of the headlights of the
car apparently was broken by the
impact and pieces of the glass
were found. With this meagre
clue the sheriff's department
launched an investigation that
this morning had proved to be
fruitless.- Officers in nearby towns
were notified and members of the
department spent the night scour-
ing the county in search of car
to answer the description.
Funeral services for the child

from parent to child. Parents have
taken a great interest in the
school, and consequently created
an interest in the child, because

UNITE IN NRA
Proprietors To Meet A,
Once On Formulate
Plan OF Adherence

| The owners and employees of
Hendersonville's four beauty par.
lors met last night the the city
hall to consider cooperative action
and suitable working arrange
ments for joining the NRA. The
proprietors are expected to meet
at once and formulate a schedule
of hours. The local shops are on
a commission basis which permits
them to observe NRA require
ments without any seri Gus
changes. 90:
The gathering was addressed
by Mrs. Quennie E. Dale, propri-
etor of the Dale Marinella Shop
of Asheville, president of the
Asheville Hairdressers association
and a member of the executive
committee of the State Board of
North Carolina Hairdressers. Mrs.
Dale has been very active in or
ganizing the shops of Western
North Carolina and especially
Asheville, where she said there
had been many difficulties due to
the presence of al shops, many of
which had never entertained the
idea of cooperating with others.
Another difficulty was that in
connection with getting salaries
! up from. about SIS and Sc week
, to a $13 basis and on shorter
hours than had been generally
done. She said that Asheville had
!applied for a modified code of $12
and 48-hour week and that the
beauty parlors would work on that
basis until their application had
been passed on by national au.
thorities. Mrs. Dale said that the
social condition had been improv.
ed and the spirit of fellowship
among the shops and workers had
been greatly enhanced within the
past few days: An equalization Of
prices had been made which had
resulted in the removal of cut.
throat competition. She said that
the opportunity was unusual fol
advancing the whole status of the
profession.

ganization among the local shops
and the prompt observance of the
NRA requirements.
