Discrimination
As to Dry Laws
Breakers Made
The Timns- News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. April 26.-Is there
any essential difference between
a man who was convicted of vio-
lating the prohibition law two
years ago and a man who was
convicted of the same offense, say
731 days ago? In the opinion Of
the senate, there apparently Is 4
great difference. since under the
beer regulatory measure passed
by that body this week, the for
mcr man will not be permitted to
dispense 80 per cent brew, but
the latter will. ....,
The beer regulatory measure as
passed by the senate provides that
the governing bodies of counties
and towns will be compelled to
issue licenses to persons who have
not been convicted of violating
the dry laws or adiudged guilty
of a felony involving moral turpI-
tude within two years Of their APP
plieation for license. If they
can prove that they have not been
adjudged guilty Of either within
two years. it is mandatory on the
part of the county or city that
they be granted license.
Thus, if they have been con-
victed within two years, the gov
erning agencies can refuse to
give them license. But if per-
son comes along who happens to
have been convicted Of one OF
these offenses a day earlier, the
governing agencies will be COM
PEELED to give them license with
out any argument about it. APP
parcntly. the senate believes that
person convicted of violating
the drys laws within the past two
wears is not as well qualified as
I person whose conviction occurred
three years ago.
Another thing that has been
puZzling some folks around the
! legislature is exactly what Is
meant by "a felony involving
moral turpitudc." This. it Is
pointed out. is a very broad term
and can mean anything that the
law defines as a felony; or, on the
other hand, it can be construed
to mean only one or two crimes
classed as felonies.

President Roosevelt and Prime

ing the day. 1t was said no plan
has been decided upon but that
progress is being made. The ne
gotiations will continue in Wash
ington and London after Mr..
Macdonald leaves today.
1t was assumed that the presi-
dent would also discuss the
French debt with former Premier
Herriot. France appears in a
somewhat different role than Bri-
tain in this respect. The British
made their last payment Deem
Der Is as scheduled. France de-
faulted.
While the discussion was going
on, press reports from London
disclosed that the new British
budget makes no provision for the
payment due June Is. Announce
ment of this in commons brought
cheers. -,
The United States also revealed
a friendly disposition toward the
consultative pact sought by Euro
pean powers. This would be an
addition to the Kellogg anti-war
pact and would provide that sig
natories sh Oul d communicate
among themselves in event of any
act of aggression.

whether the United States would
agree to such a pact. Instead he
replied that both party platforms

posal. ;,
The Joint Roosevelt Macdonald
statement on war debts said:...
During the day the prime min
lister and the president have dis
cussed the problems of the debt

United States government. Both
have faced the realities and the
obligations and both believe that
as a result there is laid the basis

to intimate that any plan or any
settlement is under way. 1t iS'the
simple truth that thus far only
preliminary explorations of many
different routes have been com.

sized is that with the most friend

EUROPE IS IN THROES OF ONE
49, OF ITS WORST SPY SCARES'
Recent Nazi Flare up in Rhneland Sets Nerves Of the
- French People on Edge
BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
(Copyright, 1888, United Press)
PARIS, April 26.--WP).-A
spy-scare comparable only with
the wholesale imprisonments of
suspects just before the outbreak
of the World war is sweeping the
three great powers on the CONT
ncnt-France, Germany and Italy,
inquiry has revealed. ..
A fare-up OF fear in France
followed the Nazi demonstrations
recently in the Rhineland. With
Fascist italy turning to Germany
and new accord seen developing
there, France has decided that
the time has come TO inspect her
defences.
Officers of the second bureau,
or coun.er-espionage office, WHO
hurried along the chain Of new
frontier defences built since 1918
on the German and Italian from
tiers, received a shock. Foreign
workmen, mostly Italian and Ger
man, were found everywhere.
The newspaper Quotiden CAV"
some startling figures of the for
eigners who have free access TO
the vital zone of steel and con-
crete defences built at a cost OF
around S2S0,000,000. The news
paper said in the Moselle region
alone, SO per cent of the workers
in the new forts were foreign.
The total given was $500 men.
Facing Italy, along the noun
tains of the lower Alps where
French engineers have been blast
ing out "pill-boxes" in the rocks,
the aliens employed ranged from
20 to 80 per cent, according to
the report.
The counter-espionage system
went to work sitting out the Sc
crets Of the private lives Of some
of these alien workers. The re-
suits disturbed the French. Plans
of the defences. the reports said,
were being copied and struggled
out of the country.
They reported that school chill
dren with satchels strapped on
their backs in the customary fash
ion of carrying their school books,
carried secret documents over the
border into Italy. And along the
! German border, young and come
" women posing as movie stars
! or rich tourists struggled into
Germany, they said, papers en-
trusted to them by men working
on the French side of the from
tier.
Numerous arrests followed. II
CRANBERRY. German was SEN
fenced to five years in Jail. AT

German alleged to have confessed

MANY Italians were arrested
along the southern border.
The Italian and German spies
meanwhile have not been idle, the
French operatives reported. Their
most important arrests recently,
it was reported. was that of Pro-
lessor Charles Eydoux. director of
studies in the Ecole Polytechnlque
at Paris. He was arrested while
on a holiday in the Italian Alps
and sentenced to Imprisonment IN
a fortress in Italy.
In Germany. reports said q
roundup of French secre. service
agents has been in progress since
Chancellor Hitler came into pow
er.
In France, the scare has so
aroused the police that even many
foreign university students are
under SUSPICION.

HOLDS PUBLIC INTEREST.
England Turns From Other Problems
tn Trial of Six in Moscow

England Turns From Other Problems
to Trial Of Six in Moscow.
LONDON, April IL R.-Great Britain
turned its attention anxiously today to
Moscow, where the long-awaited trial Of
mum penalty of death was beginning.
National politics, the forthcoming
World Economic Conference and all
other matters have been superseded in
public interest by the Russian affair.
Already it has caused the indefinite re-
call of the British Ambassador from
Moscow, the ending of trade agreements
with Russia next week, and final action,
taken last night, empowering the gov
ernment to declare an embargo on Rus
sian imports.
Lord Hailsham, minister for war, ex-
pressed the mood of the British cabinet
in declaring it will leave no stone un-
turned to secure justice for the British
men now in peril in Moscow"
Based on Company Reports.
Charges of espionage, sabotage, and
bribary face the six men, who were in
the service of the Metropolitan -Vick-
ers Electrical Equipment Co., Of Man
chester. The company was nearing
completion Of 10 years work for the
Soviet government, when the offices
and homes Of its employees were raided
suddenly a month ago in Moscow and
Leningrad
The espionage charge, information
made public by the British government
held, was based merely on visits made
every few months to England by COM
pany officials to report on their work
in Russia. The sabotage charge, Am
bassador Sir Esmond Ovey declared, was
to cover up" failure of industrial work
undertaken by the Soviet government
He said the Britons we're made "scape-
goats" in the accusations of "wrecking
activities"
British diplomatic communications
said attempts to bribe the men to do
work without the knowledge of their
company also failed and that Russian
authorities failed in an attempt to have
a woman trap one of the men into a
similar undertaking.
Embargo Act Passed.
The embargo enabling act passed its
third and final reading in the House of
Lords last night by an overwhelming
vote. 1t previously passed the House of
| Commons. The cabinet agreed not to
invoke the embargo until after the ex-
| piration of the Russian trade treaty
next week, and then only for the pur-
pose of defense of the six engineers.
Lord Hailsham told the House OF
Lords that only three days in prison
had made the defendants terrified of
speaking when they were last seen by
the Ambassador. 1T took great deal
to produce such an effect in three days
on Englishmen and Scotsmen," Lord
Hailsham added
After the arrest of the six men and
many Russian employees of the company
the British Ambassador made strong
representations to the Soviet govern
ment.
The Ambassadors reports told of al
legged maltreatment of the prisoners and
hird-degree" measures taken by the
Russian officials in the early question
ing and croSs-examining Of the men.

to distinguish one nat face from
another fiat race. One member of the ex-
pedition, in despair, suggested numbers
such as adorn the backs Of football
players. To my surprise, the men are
delighted with the idea and with the
identity discs provided to connect them
with their family allotments.
Before leaving Darjeeling the expe-
dition was blessed by the Lamas of the
Ghoom Monastery, an arrangement
most kindly made by Sirdar Bahadur
Laden La, c. B. E. The ceremony
was conducted with beautiful dignity.
At the moment of the invocation of
the mountain spirits, the summit Of
distant Kanchenjunga came quietly
through the clouds, in seeming answer
to the prayer. think that no one who
was privileged to be present at that
service will ever forget it, or the per-
feet demeanor of the porters, their
steady eyes fixed upon the SHOWS dur
ing the invocation. or their heads bent
for the blessing which each man Of us
received separately. 1t was dedica-
ton to honorable battle.
