he replied, "why should I call police?"
Because I've shot a man." Stanton
was quoted as replying. Stanton then
telephoned police himself, Bilbo said.
Oficers j. r. Wallace and w. J.
Webb responded in radio car from
No. 2 precinct. An ambulance was
summoned from Casualty Hospital
and Childress was pronounced dead
by the doctor in charge.
Stanton was taken to the precinct
and held there on an open charge for
investigation. Police say he declared
he shot in self-defense. An inquest
will be held In the shooting, probably
Monday.
Investigators said Childress, his
wife and five children lived in the
basement bed room and shared the
use of a kitchen. The floor OF tie
bed room was covered with linoleum,
and the father thought his landlord
should provide rug. He also had
been insisting that screens be put IN
the windows.
The Childress combination living
and bed room contained q. double
bed. a crib, day bed and a cot.
In the community kitchen was q
bag of peppermint candy which the
father had brought home to his chill
dren and on the stove was an egg the
mother had been frying when inter-
hupted by the eviction, police said.
After supper last night Childress
went to the filling station and asked
Bilbo the way to No. 2 precinct.
He later returned to the station and
told Bilbo the police would not in
terfere in his trouble with the land
lord.
The father showed Bibo $ll which
he said he owed Stanton. Childress
declared he would not pay Stanton
until he had made his home more
livable.
The taxi driver then left. Some
time later Stanton came to the filling
station to telephone for police. Mrs.
Childress, Bilbo said, came running
up a moment later on the same mis-
sion.
The Childress children were re-
moved to the home Of their grand
mother in nearby Virginia. They are

SOCIALISTS IN SURPRISE MOVE.
Conquered Toledo Area Circled by
Government Troops.

GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS
IN THE FIELD. Mora Village, October
3-The Socialist southern army
forced a quick-march mAneuver to-
day. swinging a wide arc southeast OF
Toledo in a surprise flank movement
against the fallen Alcazar City.
Revitalized by an thrush of REIN
forcements, the government militia
fortified a Semi-circle around the in
surgent-held Toledo-Bargas area.
The newly-formed government line
based its northern end on the hotly-
defended town of Olias Del Rey, 80
miles south of Madrid.
From there it swung about Toledo,
crossing the river Tagus slightly to
the southeast, at the important Ma
drid Southern Railway bridge, and
thence to Mora, SIS miles south of the
capital, where, after bend back to
the west, it struggled of into the
Sierra del Bononal Mountains.
Two Centers Defended.
Equally forward in the government
strategy in pushing the counter-attack
against the former capital of the
Moors was heightened defense of the
vital communications centers of Aran-
juez and Castillejos.
These foodways to the sea, essential
to the life of Madrid, lie scant Is
miles behind the Olias-Mora line.

1uez and Castillejos as their next i'm
portant objectives in completing a
"starvation-band" about Madrid Two
Fascist columns have been reported
fighting toward them for the last three
days)
Socialist military circles called base
less rumors, allegedly spread by alarm
lists, that insurgents were attempting
to approach Aranjuez by wide detour
to the south through Orgaz.
The new line, however, was con-
sidered an adequate defense against
such flanking movement.
Railroad Bombed Heavily.
The concentrations in the Mora
urea oIeW FASClSC DlTQHen VINO
bombed the railroad heavily two or
three miles from the ancient royal
Summer resort village.
( Two houses were destroyed by the
load Of IA bombs but the railroad it
self escaped damage.
I. The small village of Mora turned
overnight into a large town, crowded
with militiamen and government
troops from the Valencia and Aran-
1uez garrisons.
Relieved from duty at the front,
they streamed back into town and
idly walked the streets or sat against
the walls of the centuries old church
now used as a garage.
Mingled with the thousands of
militiamen and assault guards arriv-
ing daily were streams of refugees
still pouring in from the countryside
where they have been hiding since
the fall of Toledo.

by the United States Supreme court,
General Mills, Inc, tonight an
nOunced it will immediately offer
to make paymel:IS to direct custom
ers of processing taxes collected but
not paid over to the government as
a result of the court decision.
The action involves the IA
branches of General Mills company,
one of the worlds largest milling
concerns, scattered from New York
to Texas.
While officials were reluctant to
discuss the sum that may be in
volved in the repayment, other
sources indicated it would run in
TO Millions
This action" a bulletin issued
over the signature of Donald D.
Davis, president of the company
announced, is made possible as a
result Of conferences with the treas
ury department, including an opin-
ion of the treasury general coun-
sci. holding that .reimburSementS to
customers made by these companies
lin bona fide settlement of written
sales contracts would be deductible
for windfall tax purposes
Due to this ruling, it was ex-
planned. the offer is limited to deliv-
cries covered by written sales con-
tracts executed prior to March 8,
1886. and containing the standard
tax adjustment clause.
The offer" Davis said, will be
subject to certain other qualif1ca-
tons to be stated to their custom
ers, but generally speaking will be
for ST per barrel on plain white
flour and proportionate amounts on
certain other types of flour, includ-
ing rye and corn meal"
The reimbursement will be
made in consideration of a release
of all claims on the part OF GUS
toners on account of processing
taxes imposed from and after July
9, 1888, under the agricultural ad-
iustment act, it was stated.

has been the cause of several ac-
cidents during the past week, ac-
cording to residents of the Euclid

Dozier narrowly escaping serious
injury.
On Monday night MIR. Thomas
Whaley, in front Of whose home
the unlighted contraption stands,
walked into it in the dark and in
jured his leg.
Several other residents Of that
section are reported TO nave
walked into the obstruction, and
dozens of motorists are reported
to have missed it by inches, and
then only by jamming their
brakes and swerving sharply.
A complaint was registered with
a foreman of the F.. B. Cline Con-
struction Company on SUNDAY
night, before DoZier's car struck
the obstruction, but he merely
laughed it off.
IF anyone hits it and gets
hurt, that's their tough luck" he
said. THE road is supposed to be
closed to all traffic except those
people living on it, and they ought
to know about the machinery Oh

Hendaye, Francois panish h
Frontier, Oct. 13-W.R)-Determin-
ed to exterminate the gallant lit
tie band of rebels holding out in
besieged Oviedo, loyalist Gen.
Gonzales Pena tonight said tons
of dynamite would be used to
blow Oviedo Cathedral, chief re-
bel stronghold to bits.
The church tower Is the high
est in the city and from their
posts, rebel machine gunners
have beaten off thousands Of As
turian "dynamiteros", who have
reduced almost all of Oviedo to
o shambles.
If Pena is able to carry out his
plans before a Galician rescue
column advances upon the city.
he will leave the Cathedral, OWE
dos proudest possession, a heap
of debris.
The Galician column of MorocS-
cans and foreign legionnaires
fought it's way to the hills over
looking the city today. If they
push on, they may be able to save
the few remaining soldiers in
Gen. Miguel Aranda's garrison.
Only few hundred men COM
pose Aranda's garrison. all that
the left of a force of $500 after
an 86-day siege. The main body
was located in a munitions plant
on the east side of the city and
the remainder in the Cathedral
tower.
The Cathedral, built in 78l,
contains the tombs of early kings
of Asturia. Below the tower is
the Santa Shrine, fortified by a
crypt erected by Alonza II.
which guards the sacred relics
rescued from Maures. 1t was in
the same tower the miners held
out for Is days when they were
besjeged by Aranda's Moroccans
in the bloody revolt of 1884.
The miners are fighting in mad
fury in an effort to claim revenge
for their defeat by Amanda in the
1884 Asturian revolution.
Pena swore that not one man of
the insurgent force will live to
tell the story of the savage siege

LandOn Accuses Roo
sevelt of Dictator
ship and the De-
Destruction of HUI
man Freedom.

Navin Field, Detroit. Oct. 13.-
W.P)- Gov. Alf M. Landon to-
night charged the New Deal with
taking the first steps" toward
destruction of American Democra-
cy and substitution of a perma-
nent dictatorial government.
The need of America" he said,
in describing the administration S
national planning as a failure, lis
for government that will pro-
tect our rights and foster Ameri-
can initiative, energy and frugal
ity."
Speaking in this huge industrial
center at the climax Of his cam
paign across the major battle
ground of the presidential elec-
ton, the Republican nominee cited
one by one-the "unmiStakable"
evidences of centralized power and
national planning under the
Roosevelt administration.
Then. pledging himself to re-
peal all of the acts giving auto
cratic power to the chief exeCu-
tive" he flung challenge at the
president:
IF there has been a change of
policy Csince the first steps tow
ard changing our form of govern
ment) it is time the American
people were taken into the conf
dence of the administration and
informed of it's plans . No nation
can continue half regimented and
half free.
Which course does this admin
istration propose to follow?
A Challange to Roosevelt
There is only one man who
can answer the question. and that
man is the candidate for re-elec-
ton to the presidency.
Let him tell us and tell us
before election day just what
amendments to the constitution he
has in mind. BY his silence on this
he is attempting to dodge the fun
damental issue of this campaign
the issue of whether he intends
to change the form Of our govern
ment- whether labor, agriculture
and business are to be directed
and managed by government di-
rected and managed by politics.
Gov. Landon recited the loss of
freedom of speech, of press, of
worship and of thought under
foreign dictatorial regimes, and
warned the nation:

SaysKnox
&. D. u. Vice Presidential
Nominee Flays New Deal
On Carolina Soil

ASheville. Oct. 13.-U.P)-Repub-
Iican vice presidential nominee,
Fra. Knox. tonight charged that
the New Dcal'S social security act
is az Uuworkable and unsound"
measure which would cut down
cruelty" the wages of workers.
The Republican party promises of
u fair DIAL" with no juggling
tricks" for the future. Knox added
in the second and last major ad-
dress OF his drive for votes in the
solid south"
Invading this state from Virginia,
Knox emphasized in eight rear
platform speeches during the day
the ASSERTION that in North Caro-
lima there is real revolt against
the b-trayers of Democratic prin-
cipleS." Both Virginia and North
Carolina went for Hoover in 1928.
Taxation and relief policies Of the
present administration bore the
brunt OF Knox attack tonight.
North Carolina already is one Of
the very heaviest payers Of federal
taxes in all the states" he said.
Blu. you will be paying more under
a tax system that taxes away the
reserves Of your great industries.
Your workers are going to pay,
also. Thy have passed an unwork-
able and unsound measure which
goes under the false name Of social
security. Under this law the work
ers of your state are going to have
their wages cut down cruelty"
Here is a government he con-
tinued. that Soaks the rich and
pours the money into sink holes OF
waste. and then soaks the poor and
pours those proceeds into sink holes
of waste. and then reduces the pro-
duct:on from which all taxation
eventually comes.
Not even our rich and produc-
tive country can stand four more
years of a government that soakS
everybody, rich and poor, for use
less and injurious projects"
Outlining what the Republican
party promises for the future, "
Knox said:
1t does not promise new deal
One new deal is enough for this
country for so years. 1t promises
fair Geal. no more, no less. II
will perform no juggling tricks.
1T is going to give all necessary
aid for relief, but it is going to do
it through local administration
and it is not going to check up on
il TO see how those on relief are
going to vote in the next election.
l. believes that relief and party
politics are poor things to tie to-
gether. =,
1t is going to make an earnest
effort to bring some order out Oh
the awful mess Of federal taxation.
It is going to head in the general
direction of a balanced budget.
That means a very violent re-
versal of gears, as the whole gov
ernment machine has been headed
for deficits for four long years, WIN
the accelerator wide open and the
breaks off"

they wrecked me-" said S. Gan
derson at his home on West Cedar

ferring to the robbery of his Ed
enton store in the early hours OF

who is a chronic sufferer from
asthma and nervous disorders had
lust taken his sixth hypodermlc
injection since the robbery.
While no trace Of the robber or
robbers had been found at a late

who make a business Of robblng
stores and diSposing OF their mot
merchandise to small merchants
in different parts of the state who
are eager for stolen merchandise
because it can be bought cheap.
MIR. GanderSon estimates his
loss at $4,000 to $4,000, with no
burglary insurance. They ruined
me-" he exclaimed again and
again. The stolen merchandise
consisted of mems suits, hats
shoes, furnishings, luggage, etc.
The burglar entered the store
from side door and took his time
laying the stock out on the store
floor and picking it over for the
most desirable items.
Edenton police were trying TO
pick up the trail of the burglar in
another part of the state last
