REVIEW OF NEGRO'S
CASE is DEMAND

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (UP)
George Crawford, negro, was de-
MED a supreme court review OF
his appeal from a circuit court
ruling which held he must be
turned over by Boston, Mass, au-
thorities to Loudon county, Va,
for trial on two murder indict-
,mentS.
Crawford is charged with hav-
ing killed Agnes B. Ilsley and
Nina Buchner at the formers es-
tate in Virginia almost two years
ago. He was located in Boston
and held for extradition. On a
writ of habeas corpus plea, Fed
eral Judge Lowell ordered Craw-
ford released, in an opinion which
said no negro could hope for q
fair trial in Virginia. This ruling
was reversed when the case was
appealed to the second circuit
court.

Rev. Thornburg
Opens Series OF
Sermons In City
Visiting Lutheran Being
Heard in Nightly Mes
sages Here

The Rev. J. Lewis Thornburg,
Lutheran pastor of Statesville, be-
gan a series of evangelical SER
mons Sunday, which will continue
each night at the Lutheran church,
this city, through Friday, the hour
of meeting being set for 7:3O
o'clock. The visitor talked last
night on the text, master, where
do you dwell?" and his theme was
"Christ, Our Dwelling Place"
Tonight he will speak on the
text. "And He went into the
mountain to pray" his subject
being "The Hill Country OF the
Soul"
At the outset of his message
last night, the speaker asked his
audience to consider the signifi-
canoe of the word, "dwell," stat
ing that there is quite a differ
ence in visiting a place and living
in it. 1t is one thing to spend a
day in the mountains; but it is
quite another thing to live there
the year round, he said. Thus
the word "dwell' carries with it
the idea of permanence, strong,
stable and enduring. There is
something sustaining and abiding
about the word.
"Christ calls people to a settled
life in His fellowship" he con.
tinued. "The Psalmist said God
is our dwelling place. The church
continues to declare that God is
our home. abide in Me and My

By JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (UP)
In the face of Germany's with
drawal from the disarmament con-
ference and the consequent bleak
outlook at Geneva, the state de-
partment was determined today
to press forward toward the sig
natures of an arms limitation
treaty.
Realists in the department ad-
mitted, however, that there was
little prospect of writing a dis
armament treaty that meant any
thing without Germany's sigma
ture. Some hope was found in
Chancellor Hitler's speech Satur-
day, saying that Germany was will
ling to join in real disarmament
even though it had withdrawn
from the conference.
Because of the critical situa.
ton in Europe, Secretary of State
Hull spent large part of Sunday
at the state department studying
diplomatic reports from 1ehe'a
and Berlin. -,
The secretary, however, did not
add to his comment of Saturday
that Germany's action had stalled
present disarmament efforts and
was a bitter disappointment to
him. Hull has been intent on
bringing a treaty from the chaos;
in Geneva and feels deeply grieved
at the turn events have taken.
Displaying the same hope anc
determination which enabled hin
to stay the adjournment of the
world economic conference las'
summer, Hull is making every eff
fort to salvage a treaty from the
Geneva storm.

Nazi Officials Hope Quit

NEGOTIATIONS WITH
POWERS FORESEEN

BERLIN, Oct. 16.-(UP).-
Germany stands ready to colIabo-
rate to the limit of her resources
in the preservation of European
peace on any basis that will pre-
serve her national honor, it was
said here authoritatively toLay.
BERLIN, Oct. 16.-(UP).---
Germany will seek solution OF
the disarmament crisis by negotia-
tions. Nazi Minister Of Propa-
ganda Joseph Goebbels declared
in a speech at Hummerich Noun
tain. near Coblenz. last night.
: DR.. Goebbels, speaking in dedi-
cation ceremonies of a monument
to victims of the Nazi "Putsch"
fighting in 1923, repudiated the
charges of Germany's warlike in
tentions in withdrawing from the
world arms conference at Geneva.
"The sole reason why Germany
quit the conference" he said,
"was that we were unwilling to
allow the Reich longer to be treat
ed like a second-class nation. This
is not a demonstration against
peace, but rather for peace"
BERLIN. Oct. 16.-(UP).-
Chancellor Adolf Hitler's with
drawal from the League of Ma
tions met with nationwide ex-
pressions of approval yesterday.
The press unanimously backed
the Nazi governments summary
action which set Europe astir
with uneasy comment on where
this severance of relations with
the leagues disarmament efforts
would lead, not only on the con-
tinent, but in the rest OF the
world.
Here, the reaction was that Hit
ler's bold move has clarified the
atmosphere. 1t was felt that the
long drawn out efforts to reach
an arms control. if not actual linn
itation at present, had gained
little if anything, in the way of
practical arms cuts.
The Voelkischer Beobachter
commented:
"The governments decision has
at one stroke dissipated the fog
with which these astute diplomats
have surrounded Germany.
Perhaps the statesmen recognize
now that their own interests de-
mand they no longer treat Ger
many as third rate power"
There was little further COM
ment in official quarters. The gov
eminent leaders, from Hitler
down, apparently felt their action
spoke for itself-and there was
nothing further to be done about
it.
However. the United Press
learned that the Nazi officials still
were hopeful that Germany's abb
rupt move would crystalline the
arms situation generally, and that
the Nazi government was ready to
collaborate to the limit Of its re-
sources in efforts to preserve
peace in Europe, if permitted

ernmental regulation of labor
unions would destroy self-gov,

cherished rights, but there were
statements in the talk that Were

wrote.
"There were portions of the
generals address which seen
open to misinterpretation.
Woll said that while industry
being machinery and money
credit and materials, is Il proper
field for regulation in the serv

is quite another matter" -,
For that reason. he SAID
