Donald R. Richberg, general
counsel of NRA until he became
executive secretary of the two
councils, has been working on re-
organization plans for the last
six weeks.
Apparently he intends to rec
ommend, as General johnson did
some weeks ago, that a board
take over administration of NRA.
In all probability, this will be a
full-time board, not a supervisory
one of cabinet members. Early in
NRA's history cabinet board was
organized to watch over it, but
it soon ceased to function.
Whether the general, whose
personality has become identified
so closely with NRA, will leave it
entirely, or will serve as one
member of the new administra-
tive group. remains to be decided.
There is little chance of his re-
manning as executive officer I'M
der a policy-making board.

mediate change in industrial
codes. President Roosevelt never
has exercised the power, granted
him in the recovery act, Of max

once they are in effect. The ad-
ministration is convinced that
voluntary compliance can be Sc
cured only when code represents
agreement between industry and
government, not mandate.
However, all codes expire when
the recovery act expires, and the
new legislation replacing it prob
ably will contain limitations for
bidding price fixing, except pos
sibly in natural resource industries
or in specified emergencies.

New Star, Believed Just Born Now
Growing Rapidly; Is OF The Second
Magnitude, Is Seen With Naked Eye

clared this rare phenomenon had
happened only "a recorded times
since antiquity.
Charles Bertaud, of Meudon OBJ
servatory, reported to the Acad-
emy of Science that the new stars
spectra contained rare magnesium
rays, H and K calcium rays, and
ravs usually found in stellar out
bursts. He concluded Nova Her
cults therefore had increased IN
size to eyes on earth because OF
an increased and more intense
combustion caused by passage
through a "cloud of calcium"
Astronomers are busy drafting
charts to determine the possible
Influence of Nova Herculis on
other bodies in the universe
while astrologers, their less scien-
tific brethren, are seeking to dis
cover its "effect" on the end of
the world, peace, assassinations
and other outbursts on this earth,
One recalled that astrologers in
1872 used the appearance of a
new star to predict the Saint Bar

Army Report Charges Going To Grand Jury
FRENCH FORCES ARE MASSING
in LORRAINE, SAAR POPULACE
FESTIVE UNDER FOREIGN ARMS
Troops Of 4 Nations Patrol
Streets as Plebiscite

SAARBRUCKEN. THE. SAAR,
Dec. 29.-(UP) France is mass
ing forces in Lorraine, along the
French side of the Saar territory
frontier, in preparation for any
emergency in connection with the
January Is plebiscite, it was
learned today.
The French have been rushing
crack mobile guards to Lorraine,
reinforcing border patrols as ten
sion increases in the territory,
with the vote on it's futue status
only two weeks from Sunday, ad-
vices reaching the capital re-
vealed.
The United Press understood
this drastic action was in connec-
ton with efforts to tighten the
Saar border on all fronts prior to
the plebiscite. to prevent agitators
or terrorists from slipping into or
out of the basin between now and
the ballot.
An alright ring of bayonets is
being thrown around the area and
all who enter or leave are search
ed for explosives and other suspi-
cious paraphernalia.
Inside the Saar, foreign troops
from four nations marched the
streets flying the flags of Italy,
Britain, Sweden and Holland. The
populace has grown increasingly
FESTIVE under this show of force,
and word from over the Lorraine
line last night of the French ac-
tion added to- the disagreeable
tension. -
The League of Nations govern
ing commission officials continued
to exert every effort to keep the
peace-the reason for the pres
ence of foreigners in the Saar
during these trying weeks-and
soldiers in the international Army
of Occupation have strict orders
to refrain from any acts which
might arouse resentment.
There is little effort, however,
to fraternize with them on the
part of the Saarlanders, even dur
ing the holiday season, and an
other incident such as the recent
attack of Nazi mob on a British
police officer in which one native
was wounded and the official bad
ly beaten, might blow off the lid

Home HYGIENE
CLASSES Held
Red Cross Activity Being
Carried on in Four of
County's Communities

Under the auspices of the Hen
derson county chapter of the
American Red Gross, classes in
home hygiene and care of sickness
are being conducted in four COM
munities in the county.
The classes, which are attended
by women of the communities, are
being conducted by Miss Dorothy
Mccoy, a registered nurse with
special qualifications for this
work. Miss Mccoy is a graduate
of the Biltmore hospital and has
made her home in this county for
the past five years.
The course requires 80 hours
minimum and is divided into 70
lessons of an hour and a half each.
Glasses will continue over a pc
Rod of ten weeks and have been
in progress for about two or three
weeks. :,
Previous to this time, this work
has been offered in the city schools
as vocational work, but such
classes have not been held in the
schools for the past several years.
1t is felt by Red Cross officials
that better results will be OBJ
tanned by taking this course OF
study directly to women OF the
county rather than giving the IN
struetion as a part of school work
The classes are both education
al and vocational. They are being
financed by the local Red Cross
chapter and the Federal vocation

PARIS, Dec. 29.-(UP).-The
United States government, thru
the Paris embassy, was appealed
to last night to take urgent action
in an effort to locate Miss Elsa
Sittell, 25-year-old New York
girl, mysteriously reported arrest
ed and missing on the German
frontier. -
Frantic telephone calls by
friends of the missing American
girl to border points gained no in
formation, and they appealed to
the United States embassy for
emergency action.
Miss Sittell, formerly employed
in the law offices of Davis, Polk
and Wardwell, Is Broad street,
New York, was to have sailed on
the liner Washington to tr? Unit
ed States today-but an ~ signed
telegram to friends in Pals from
a German town instructed that
her trunks be held up.
The United Press learned that
Miss Sittell, after a brief visit to
Paris, went to Germany to see her
parents, residing there, prior to
returning to the United States.
She had booked passage on tho
liner Washington, but failed to
appear.
The secretary of the American
University Women's club in Paris
received telegram Friday writ
ten in German, from a small from
tier town, advising Miss Sittell
had been arrested on the border.
The message said: Prevent trunks
going steamer. Miss Sittell arrest
ed frontier"
A frantic effort to locate Miss
Sittell was begun by club officials.
However, telephone calls to Ger
man and French frontier officials
failed to, discove- that she had
been seen at any of the border
points reached.
The case will be submitted to
the United States embassy and
consulate-general with a request
that they start urgent efforts
through the U. s. embassy in Ber-
lin.
There was no indication in the
telegram as to why Miss Sittell
had been arrested or who sent it.
The case recalled the arrest of
another youn" American woman,
Miss Isobel Lillian Steele, as
"spy" in Germany. She was held
for several months in Berlin jajls
before being deported recently,
and is now in New York, relating
her experiences at the hands of
the Nazis.
Former Ambassador John w.
Davis is member of the law firm
which employed Miss Sittell.

Gives Interview at Dallas
on Benefits Here

The Dallas (Texas) Times-Her-

December 26 issue with DR.. Jos.
R. Sewer, of Hendersonville. in
which the president of Fassifern
School for Girls describes the
prospects of largely increased
tourist travel in this section be-
cause of the location of the ma
tional park-to-park highway thru
Western North Carolina.
DR.. and Mrs. Sewer spent last
week in Dallas on a holiday visit
with their son, John, who recently
became a resident of Dallas.
In the interview, which is ac-
companied by a photograph, DR..
Sewer pointed out that this sec
ton is proving an increasingly at
tractive place for education of the
country's youth and said that a
number of Dallas girls are expect
ed to attend Camp Greystone, at
Tuxedo, next summer. Concern
ing tourist travel, DR.. Sewer told
the Dallas paper:
eve are just beginning to feel
the full benefits of the Great
Smoky Mountain National Park.
Last year it was reported that
about 100000 persons visited this
beautiful section. The new high
way from Shenandoah National
Park, in Virginia, to our park is
under construction, and when
completed will be 500 miles of
scenic roadway running over much
of the distance along the tops OF
mountains that provide some OF
the most'beautiful scenery in the
world"
