ENSENADA, Mexico, Oct. 80
U.N.S).-William Mahan, bank
robber and kidnap fugitive sought
in Lower California, may have
escaped from the rugged San
Pedro Martir Mountains, east Of
here in a mysterious white cir.
plane" it was learned today.
"Vaqueros," (cowboys) of Sal.
vadore Melting, immigration chief,
who first reported presence in
Lower California of the suspected
Tacoma kidnaper Of nine.year-old
George Weyerhaeuser, revealed
that shortly after Mahan was
seen in the mountainous territory
lit miles southeast of here, an
unidentified plane was seen flying
low over the peaks. Observers re-
ported they could not tell whether
it landed.
Meanwhile Omen from the
United States were in this terri
tory, ready to organize posses to
seek the fugitive in the hills.
Mahan was reported travelling
through San Jose Del Telmo two
weeks ago before officials received
circulars bearing his pictures.
When these arrived at the little
mountain town, officials and
ranchers joined in establishing
identity Of the suspect.

They share q mutual sorrow Of
being orphans" but both are

IL Counties Do Not Grow

Now; Mcclure, Burgin

ASHEVILLE, Dec. 13.-The
board of directors of the Farmers
Federation yesterday instructed
James G. K. Mcclure, its presi-
dent, and L. L. Burgin of Mills
River, director, to seeks have
the mountain counties of this
area exempted from the AAA
Irish potato program of control
In this connection it was stated
that the normal production of
potatoes in the Is counties of the
western region is not sufficient
to supply home consumption and
fear was expressed that in the
AAA allottments for the entire
state the production in the west
would be reduced.
Eastern counties of this State
produce potatoes for the spring
market, it was pointed out, while
the western counties produce for
the winter market, and each year
potatoes are shipped into West
ern North Carolina from other
sections. To reduce western acre
age, President Mcclure pointed
out, would be to force citizens to
send their money out of this sec
ton for potatoes that should be
produced locally.

japanese Declaration For Common
Upper Level OF Strength For Naval
Powers Throws Farley In Confusion
Marks Unexpected Revi-
sion of Japan's Naval
Equality Policy

LONDON, Dec. Is. (UP).--
The fve-power naval conference
was thrown into confusion today
when Admiral Osami Nagano was
understood to have revised ia
pans proposal for fleet equality to
be limited to navies of the United
States, Great Britain and Japan.
The head of the japanese dele
cation was reported to have said
that Japan would not object to a
Common upper leveP' for fleets
of other naval powers, as well.
The five-power naval limitations
conference was believed nearing
dead end last night. Japan has de-
manded naval parity with Great
Britain and the United States and
everybody else in the conference
has objected.
The conference may drag on
but any agreement now seems i'm
possible. One after another, the
principal delegates arose yester-
day and rejected the Japanese de-
mand which Admiral Osami Ma
gano had presented Wednesday.
When they finished the little Nip
ponese arose and announced:
"Japan sees no reason to change
her demands"
French Delegate Andere Charles
Corbin objected to any agreement
between the three powers and left
question whether France sup
ported Japan's aspiration toward
parity. However, it was indicated
last night that Corbin would en-
phasize Frances opposition to ia
pan on this point at today's ses-
sion.
Delegates were said to have
been impressed by the solidarity
of Britain and the United States.
During the statements by vari-
Gus delegates, Admiral Nagano in
terspersed comments and replies.
Nagano said he would make a
more detailed exposition of the
Japanese view today.

Whitmire Tells Club War
Spirit Will Flame Again
in Europe

The powers of Europe have
shifted their positions at least
three times with respect to the
Italo-Ethiopian situation, and even
now the stands of France, Eng
land, Germany and other nations
cannot be accepted as final, R. L.
Whitmire asserted in an address
to the Kiwanis club yesterday on
Ethiopia"
"My opinion" said the speaker,
lis that the war spirit which has
famed and subsidized will flame
again before long, and that all
Europe will be embroiled in an
other war. With this prospect in
view, Americans should resolve
determinedly that no matter how
much these European nations try
to draw us in, and no matter how
many millions or billions of dol
lars belonging to American bust
ness interests are involved, they
will not become a party to the
slaughter"
Mr.. Whitmire comprehensively
reviewed the history of Ethiopia
as related in Holy Writ, "The
Works of Josephus" and other au-
thorities, and led up to the dec
laration that Italy covets Ethiopia
for the principal and almost sole
reason that she needs new terri
tory for colonization and as the
source of raw materials. France
and England do not want Eth
opia, he said, but they do not want
Italy to have it because such pos
session would enable Italy to
strengthen herself for war. 1t ap-
pears now, he said, that the pow
ers are permitting Italy to con-
tinue her invasion of Ethiopia be-
cause this seems to be the less
costly course at a time when no
nation is financially able to go to

COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 10
(UP).-Gov. Olin D. Johnston's
reaction to. a senate ultimatum
that he relax his military coup on
the state highway department was
awaited today by legislators to
determine whether impeachment
threats may become reality.
The senate last night, by the
overwhelming vote of 80 to a,
passed a resolution demanding the
governor withdraw his troops be-
fore the special legislative session
will pass laws to unsnarl the tan
gle that resulted from Johnston's
military seizure of the highway
department Oct. %.
The house is to act on the same
resolution today and it is expect
ed to adopt the ultimatum.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 13.-
(UP)-The South Carolina state
senate last night delivered an ul-
timatum to Gov. DIN D. Johnston
to relax his military stranglehold
on the state highway department.;
By a vote of SO to 4, 1t passed
a resolution branding the military
operation of the department con
trary to principles of Democratlc
government and subversive to the
rights of a free people" and IN
structed the governor to Withdraw
his troops before expecting legis-

The overwhelming vote against
the man who rose from a textile
mill hands job to his states high

lock in which a handful of his adj
herents had held his bitterly an
