(continued from Page D be brought on Italy to maintain peace.
 Mussolini Is prepared for war. Threats of blockades, of embargoes do not impede him. He is chal- lenging world public opinion, the League of Nations, and diplomacy, confident of his cause and his ability to pursue 1t to his goal.
 Only now Is European diplomacy awakening, belatedly, to the vast ness of Mussolinis undertaking. It Is. in brief, the first direct defiance to the power of the British em- pire, according to opinion here.
 Diplomatic Advantage
 MussolinPs forcefulness, h Is sense of reality and the fact that he Is in complete control of the functions of government--his own premier, foreign minister, interior minister, colonial minister, air min ister, navy minister, war minister and corporations ministef-give him a great diplomatic advantage. Other European premiers have to work With cabinets.
 There is not likely to be a change In his general plan of strategy. which Is to make fascist Italy an even greater power than 1t is.
 Prepared for Blockades
 It is indicated that months ago he anticipated the possibility of embargoes on goods, and even blockades, and is prepared for them. Part of his preparation is his long familiar effort to make Italy economically independent. It is in- dependent now except for two or three commodities needed in war. An economic blockade by Great Britain would deny him coal, scrap iron. rubber. For coal, he has turned toward Germany already abandoning the English market. In the first six months of this year he bought more than 5000, 900 tons from Germany. For his gasoline he can look to Rumania and Russia. Italy has vast interests in some chemical industries.
 League May Meet Earlier
 Paris, Aug. 20. - (UP) = The League of Nations council may be called in emergency meeting be- fore September 4 to consider the Italian Ethiopian crisis, it was learned today.
 The council is scheduled to meet September and the league as- sembly at which all 5S league members will be represented is to meet September g.
 Many fear that if nothing is done until September, there will be no possibility at all of taking effective action to preserve peace. The hope that any action will avail anyway is slim. but the league is the last resort.

If Borah actually represents the republican thought of the prairie and mountain states then there is vast and almost unbridgeable cleavage between the eastern and western leaders of the party. The 1938 republican platform will un- dertake to close the gap. 3.
 There are at least three repub- lican presidential possibilities in the senate. Their voting records in the 1883 special session which laid the foundation for the New Deal suggests that any of them would have some explaining to do if nom- mated next June for the presi- dency.

COURT DECISION WELCOMED
Opposition So Strong Against NRA
Blue Eagles Demise Was Expected

Opposition So Strong Against NRA
Blue Eagles Demise Was Expected
The news of the week that af-
fects all states of the Union, is the
unanimous opinion handed down by
the United States Supreme Court
that NRA is unconstitutional. By
their decision the constitution of the
USA still lives. The nine venerable
judges in passing opinion of the
celebrated poultry case held that
the Congress had illegally delegat-
ed its own powers to the President
in authorizing him to approve and
promulgate the codes. 1t ruled
that Congress may not reach into a
community and tell a poultry deal
er whose business only indirectly
affects interstate commerce how
much he shall pay his help and
what the latter's working hours
shall be. However, there are some
industries who would like to see
the good things in NRA continued.

SMYRNA BASEBALL FANS MEET
TO ORGANIZE BASEBALL CLJJR

A number of baseball fans, cit
liens of town as well as players of
Smyrna and surrounding territory,
met at the Smyrna Fire Hall, Mon
day evening to organize baseball
club and talk over plans of getting
started for the season. The club
was organized by electing Hervey
p. Hall president, and Medford
Sparks, secretary. John G. Hustled,
who gave not only of his time but
his money to get club going last
year, was again elected manager.
Mr.. Hustled at his own expense
bought considerable baseball equip
ment last year which he offered
the club to use and with this as a
starter, they are ready to go into
the game at once. While not fully
determined on a lineup, Manager
Hustled will put on a game this af-
ternoon as a Memorial Day attrac-
ton. He will have two teams of
local talent pitted against each
other, a sort of practice game, to
see what talent is available and
from what he can pick a nine that

will represent Smyrna. The two
opposing teams will help make
some holiday sport and they hope
for the support of the citizens of
Smyrna and vicinity to make the
event worth while. The game will
take place on the High School Ath-
letic Field at 2.3O o'clock this after
noon. At the meeting at the Fire
Hall Monday night the sentiment
was strong toward organizing a
baseball club here All felt that
Smyrna should wake up and join
Middletown, Dover, Clayton, Town
send, Millington, Sudlersville, and
other towns in this section of the
Delmarva Pninsula. Such a move
ment not only makes fellowship
between neighboring towns, but
aids the community by bringing
people to town. Anything that will
bring people to Smyrna helps to
advertise us. Besides it puts Smyr-
ma on the baseball map all of which
goes to enliven the towns in which
contests are waged- Manager Hus-

HIGHWAY EAST
OF DOVER OPEN
Cuts Out Towns of Dover and
Magnolia For the RehO-
both Traffic
POLICE STATION MOVED

The new section of State High
way east of Dover, known as the
Dover to Little Heaven" cutoff, is
practically completed and is avail
able to the motoring contingent of
to-day, Memorial Day. to the bay
side and sea shore resorts. The
new highway starts at the police
station, north of Dover, and ex-
tends to Little Heaven, a point sew
eralmil es south Of Magnolia. The
route follows the kits Hammock
road and crosses the new causeway
and bridge at Barker's Landing
1t is expected that this new high
way will expedite traffic from the
north to seashore points since it
eliminates both Dover and Mag
nolia from this route. The new
road has been designated as main
or through highway and after it is
placed in operation traffic from Do
yer proceeding north will be re-
quired to stop at the intersection
of the new highway. A system of
traffic lights is being installed at
the intersection Work on the new
road was started late last summer
and was completed this spring
when the section from the Dover
Airport to the police station was
o. N fNr
opening of the new highway, State
police have moved into their new
quarters in the building formerly
used as the Sesqui Inn, which has
been remodeled extensively for
headquarters of the police and the
Kent county supervisor of the
Highway Department. The small
building formerly occupied as a po-
lice station for many years, is be-
ing removed. In their new quart
ers the State police have more
space for their work and installa-
tion of many new facilities are ex-
pected to aid them in their police
work. While no such move is con-
templated now, the new police
building provides ample room for
the establishment of police head
quarters for the State, if at any,
time it was decided to move these
headquarters there. Two sets of
scales have been installed for
weighing of motor vehicles, located
on each side of the dual highway
and both are operated from the
police station.

This State
VOTE SWEEPS THE STATE

That the wheat farmers of Del
aware are in favor of a continu-
ance of the wheat production ad-
justment program was evidenced
by the results of the referendum
vote which was registered on this
question last Saturday by contract
and non-contract signers not only
in Delaware but throughout the
United States. The voting was in
charge of the community or dis
trict committees who registered all
voters and tabulated the results of
the voting in each district, after
which the total results for each
county were tabulated by the coun-
ty allotment committee prepara-
tory to forwarding them to the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton under whose supervision this
wheat adjustment program is be-
ing conducted. In the First Dis
trict (Smyrna) the vote was one
sided, AZ farmers for and one
against. In New Castle County
there were 215 votes registered in
favor of this program being con-
tinued, and 10 votes were register
ed against it, according to an an
nouncement by the wheat produc-
tion control association of that
county. Of this number of votes,
207 contract signers and 8 non
contract signers voted in favor of
the plan, and Is contract signers

this question. The voting in the
two lower counties of the state was
held under the direction of the

SMYRNA TO BE
KIDDIES' HOST
Once More Families Here Will
Take Slum Children For
2 Weeks This Summer
COMMITTEE is NAMED

Smyrna is once more to be a
Friendly Town" to the children of
the New York slums This splen-
did work was started in Smyrna
last summer when a group of
twenty-one children were invited to
the homes of Smyrna and vicinity
to spend a period of two weeks in
the country. The plan is made
possible through The efforts of the
New York Herald Tribune and the
Tribune Fresh Air Fund. The chill
dren which are being sent out this
year are all deserving ones-com-
ing from families which have been
on the relief rolls for a period of
three years, families which have
been unable to give their children
the comforts which they need. All
of these children are in need of va
cations in the country where they
can live in the open air and obtain
the health and strength which is to
be found only in the country. Ft is
hoped that Smyrna Will come to the
assistance of these children even
more than she did last year, that
a larger number of families will
respond and take these children
into their homes. The town will
be canvassed by a committee of
women but it will greatly help
matters if all those who want chill
dren to come to their homes will
get in touch with any member of
the general committee which was
organized this week. The mem
bers of this committee are: Mr.
Ralph G.Faries, chairman; DrR.F.
Corley, vice-chairman; Mrs. Grant
Garis, secretary; Mrs. c. j. Prick
EFT, Prof. c. w. w. Schantz, Mr..
Elmer p. Corrie, and Rev. James
r Galley. The children will ar
rive in Smyrna on July 9th and re-
main here for a period of two
