Cannon Gives
Appeal Notice

Notice of appeal to the state SUI

damages of $780,, in his $780,
900 suit against his former father
inlaw, Joseph F. Cannon, wealthy
industrialist and capitalist Of Con-
cord, was given Plummer Stew
art, attorney for Cannon, in a hear
ing before Judge G. V. Cowper,
of superior court here today.
1t had been expected that de-
tense attorneys would move for
setting aside the verdict and for
a new trial, so the failure to do
this was a surprise in courtroom
circles. Judge Cowper said, Fol-
lowing the announcement of inten-
ton to appeal. that he was glad
such a course had been taken instead
Of a motion for new trial, as, he
said, he thought a possible three
hours of argument on the question
of setting aside the verdict would
not have changed matters.
The procedure was simple anc
swift when attorneys met in the
courtroom this morning before
Judge Cowper. Paul Whitlock who
with Frank McNinch, Jr., ha:
conducted the case for young
Smith asked the Judge to sign the
judgement Of $4,000 awarded by
the jury Saturday morning. Mr.
Stewart then gave notice of appeal
and asked the judge to set the limits
for filing and for answering the
appeal. Judge Cowper fixed 40
days as the time for filling the
notice of appeal and so days as the
time for the plaintiff to answer.
This would place the matter before
the state supreme court for its
spring docket with a session of the
court scheduled to start April IA.

One State Radio
Station Will Be
In This Section

As a result of experiments car
ried on over a period of months,
State officials have decided to build
five police radio stations and locate
them near Williamson, Elizabeth
town, Raleigh, Salisbury and Ashe-
vile, says the Raleigh News and
Observer.
Although specification for the
stations had not been completed,
the compilation of data collected
by radio experts is complete
enough to make certain that five
stations will suffice and that their
best location to cover the State will
be in the vicinity Of the five places
named.
Director of Purchase A.. S. Brow
ed said that bids for the construc-
ton of the five transmitters will be
advertised for January IS and
opened January so. Captain
Charles Former, of the state high.
way patrol, estimated that it would
require two months from the time
the contracts are awarded to put
the stations in order.
In addition to the five stations,
the State will ask for bids on about
200 receiving sets. The law e
quires that one be put in the office
of each of the 100 sheriffs of the
State and each district office, car
and motorcycle of the patrol will
have them.
The last Legislature, which en-
acted the police radio law, estimat-
ed that the cost of the radio equip
ment in the State would be about
$4,000, but Mr.. Brewer believes
it will exceed that amount.
The five stations located as.
planned will give almost complete
coverage of the State both day and
night, although there will be some
"dead spots" especially in the
mountain sections. The terrain in
the far west, however, is such that
even with the construction of six
stations 100 per cent coverage|
probably could not be achieved for
both stationary and portable re-
ceivers.
To begin with there will be no!
wire connection between the five
broadcasting stations but it is
planned to have each broadcasting
station sufficiently equipped with
receiving sets that can catch the
broadcasts from other stations and
relay any information Of import
nee to their sections.
1t has been suggested also, that
the several stations be connected by
reletype and in time arrangements
may be made to connect them all
BY wire so that when the occasion
demands n broadcast would be
sent out from each of the five sta
lions.
The State police radio system was
one Of the three major acts to pro-
mote highway safety and the en-
forcement of highway laws passed
by the last Legislature. The patrol
was more than doubled in size, the
State automobile drivers law was
passed and the radio system Great
ed.
The radio, however, is intended
to do more than provide better en-
forcement of the highway laws.
The law specifically stated that,
each sheriff's office be equipped
with a receiving set and it was as
sumed that police stations also
would take advantage of the oppor-
tuniey.
For instance, in the case Of a
hold-up, the formation Of a mob
or the commission Of some crime
and the escape of the criminals, po-
lice could be called to the scene of
the crime from all directions, or
stationed at points where the es-
Gaping criminals might be expect
ed to pass.

he is no great shakes as an orator.
I once heard Mr.. Dempsey make
speech at a sports gathering. He
moistened his lips, shifted his weight
nervously and started weaving. A

larly thwarted with the lack of the

hanging on the ropes in no time with

fluency and assurance of Mr.. Tun-

Running his restaurant, wearing gar
lands gracefully and modestly, Dempsey
has the fine, bucko assurance Of

ping and the like, but he's just a
modest corner retailer when it comes
to CAB. He's no such wholesaler as
the Squire of Chestnut Hill, the same

There is in prizefghting a certain

many not one of them will be chal-
lenged in any newspaper or any plat

Germany it is more dificult to con-
test them, because all the facts are

analyzed on the basis Of what Is
known because the people Of the DEM
ocratic world have been treated to
very misleading propaganda.
Mr.. Hitler's insults to Russia are
one thing. They are sui generis. As
Sir Austin Chamberlain-who will not
be accused of pro-Soviet tendencies
remarked, "It will be difhcult to find
a parallel for such q gross attack by
the rulers Of one country upon the
government of another" But these
remarks were given wide notice here
and need not be gone into. What
was not so generally noted was that
Mr.. Hitler did not conffne his caustic
comments to Russia. He embraced In
his disdain all the nations of Europe
with the exception of one great
power Qtaly) and few other coun-
tries" Everywhere else" he said,

Insult to Democraeies
That everywhere else'' is an insult
to every democratic country in Eu-
rope, including the great power" Of
England, which with democratic in
stitutions Is enjoying unparalleled
prosperity and social unity. Boil
shevism looms as an immediate threat
only in Spain, where German inter-
vention has increased its menace; IN
France there is social disorder
precipitated by the fear of German
fascism and by the persisted-in de-
flation. But it is still q long cry
from bolshevism.
The many claims which the Nazi
government makes for the support
of its people and the admiration Of
the rest of the world display Germany
under dictatorship as a modern Eden.
Unemployment has been reduced from
100000 to 100000. The dis
