Tar Heel Congressman Are
Backing Measure Offer
ed by Judge Kerr
of Warrenton
REPUBLICANS KILL
BIG APPROPRIATION
Succeed in Eliminating
100000 Inserted for Ad-
ministrative Purposes for
Measure Enabling Six
States To Regulate Their
1886 Tobacco Crops

Washington, April 8 (AP)-
Passage Of tobacco compact leg
islation by the House was pre-
dicted today as consideration OF
the Kerr compact bill was con-
tinued.
The prediction came from Represen-
tative Graham A. Barden, Of New
Rern. N. c., as the House heard a vote
nm the proposal to authorize six to-
bacco producing states to set up con-
trol programs of their own.
Consideration of the measure intro
duc4d bv Representative John H.
Kerr. of Warrenton, N. c., began yes
terdav with opposition coming imme-
diately from the Republican side.
Fund Is Eliminated
These opponents gained their first
point when Representative Mapes, Re
publican Michigan, succeeded in eli
minating an appropriation of $3OO,-
900 for advances to cooperating states
for administering their control pro-
gram.
The bill would have re-appropriated
this amount from old AAA funds, but
Speaker Byrns ruled that considera-
ton by the appropriations commit
tee was necessary. s'+s~-t
Proponents indicated that if they
were successful in passing the bill,
money for the advances would be
sought by amending a future def
cheney appropriation bill.

FAR EAST WAR IS
NOW MORE LIKELY
But if Russia and Japan Go

BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, April 8.-Many milf
tary men think there is a chance that
q real war will break out between
Russia and japan sooner than in Eu-
rope.
Not but that the European situa-
ton is recognized as critical.
However, there is no actual fighting
in that part of the world yet and be-
tween the Russians and japanese
frontier clashes already have been nu-
merous. Nominally, to be sure, they

kuoans but every one knows that Rus

Japan the observation-disclosures.
EUROPE NOT READY
The European countries are not
quite prepared to fight one another
anyway. They are busy now framing
up a couple of opposing alliances and
are mutually unwilling to start trou-
BILE until they get these arrangements
perfected.
Most of them are reluctant to en-
gage in a fresh conflict if they can
avoid it, too.
England and France are appalled,

Anthony Eden, British foreign sec
rotary, protested to the League of Ma
tons Cancellation committee today
against the alleged use of poison gas
by the Italian armies in Ethiopia
while Premier Mussolinia, in an ex-
traordinary session of his cabinet
said Italy would fight for the total
annihiliation of the Ethiopian military
formation.
The French came forward at the
same time with the publication Of
their plan to maintain peace in Eu.
rope, with the establishment of per-
manentm ilitary forces to guard a,
gainst violation of frontiers.
Eden Is Bold.
AT the first meeting of the con-
ciliation committee, Eden called Italy
to task on the charge of using as.
phyxiating gases on the Ethiopian
war front, in violation of the conven-
ton signed at Geneva in 1925 by both
warning nations. The foreign secre-
tary asked the International Red
Cross to disclose any information it
possed regarding these charges.
France, however, brought a demand
that the League investigate the Ital-
ian atrocity charges against the ETH
opian army.
The French memorandum for a Eu-
ropean security system based on mu-
tual assistance pacts on a territorial
basis in Europe was put forth in OPP
position to the German proposals for
settlement of the Rhineland crisis.
One Frenchman in Geneva describ-
ed the French plan as creating Unit
ed States of Europe, with an armed
force to maintain peace.

SAY. HOFFMAN HAS
LOST NEW JERSEY
Many Writers Says His In
tercession For Haupt-
MANN To Be Costly
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

Many writer's now say that New
Jersey will go Democratic in the ma
tional election because Gov. Harold
G.. Hoffman, Republican, interceded
for Bruro Richard Hauptmann.
National Republicans are not of
that opinion. New Jersey is one of
the few states that they account a.
mong the "certainties."
Many other writer's say that Illinois
will go Republican because of the Bit
ter fight between Gov. Henry Horner
and the Nash-Kelly Democratic ma
chine in Chicago.
Yet there is possibility that the
litter Republican fight among eight
or nine candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination may split the Re
publican Ia-ty in the state even worse
than the Democrats have been split.
AS a matter of fact, observers in
closer contact with the people are say
ing that the national election will be
won or lost chiefly on economic
grounds. If one could predict how va
rious groups will be faring in Octo-
ber he could forecast the result OF

 Another sports commentator, af- ter an equally lucid interpretation of our national sport, voiced the flat opinion that even Americans them- selves don't like the game of baSe- bail, but attended the game solely to watch the baseball crowd. He said that of oil tho sports crowds in the world American baseball crowds were known as the fnaddost, the widest and the Tloisiegt. Hc made 1t rather plain, too, that what der- many would have liked to have seen was aTl American baseball crowd and not c game.
 AS you caf1 sec, these two sports writers have . good sound working knowledge of the game. Some of their comrades in the press box were not so well informed. Ono of them was . trihe bitter in his re- port because tho game was not like German "schlagball," aB he had been Tod to believe. And the only good thing another one could find to soy was that "as ai1 exhibition of home runs and innings it was "wundcr- bar"

 No doubt the talents or lack of such RS exhibited by ShortStop Charley DubauskaS who registered two errors and two costly mispl0ys chalked up by Joe Boley Nt the initial sack, paved tho way to de- feat for the Brooklynites, Efforts to rotaliate in the later Innings were fruitlcSS when tho BrooklynS lost tho services of II, ?, McQrNth who was listed among those injured,
