France resisted against freeing

British pressure. Facing the ire

Germany probably would not

They emphasized, however, that
Belgium's League of Nations OBJ

Belgium is required under ar

to support sanctions and even
military measures against any ma
ton violating the pact.
Germans also were particularly
anxious to wipe out the sting OF

article declared that the "release
of Belgium from her obligations
in no way affects existing
undertakings between United

that 10 members of his lS-man
senate judiciary committee will
vote to report President Roose-
velt's supreme court reorganiza-

Ashurst made this prediction
despite the claims of opposition
leaders that the bill would be re
ported unfavorably by a 10 to 8
or 8 to 9 margin. Ashurst had
lent strength to opposition claims
Saturday by asserting that an UNI
favorable report to the senate
would not be a fatal blow
T'm quite sure there will be
ten votes for the bill-as it is"
AShurst said last night. al believe
there will be seven or eight votes
against it"
The committee will begin exc

FRADY DEATH
NEAR PENR0SE
YET UNSOLVED
Examination Shows Severe
Internal Injuries and
Hemorrhage
NOT ACCOUNTED FOR
BY AUTO ACCIDENT

BREVARD, April 26.-An au-
tOpSy performed on the body Of
Billy Lee (Dick) Frady of the
PenroSe section late Saturday,
following ms death in Il hospital
here heightened the mystery of
his death and physicians were still
unable to assign Il cause. The on
ly explanation that could be made
was that he had died from severe
or extreme pressure on the Bre-
ward high school students body.
Internal injuries of 4 severe ma
ture, accompanied by an internal
hemOrThage, We're found To have
preceded his death.
The contents of the youths
stomach are being examined for
traces of poison or whiSkey.
Officers investigating said that
the young man was run over by
Harry PickelSimcr of Brcvard,
around 2:30 o'clock Saturday
morning as he lay in the road.
Young PickelSimer, regular car
rier of the ASheville Citizen, was
running on his schedule at that
time to get papers for delivery
Saturday morning.
Frank Morgan of Cherryilcld.
mail circulation employee of the
Citizen Times, had just passed
the body when he saw the other
car coming in the opposite dmcc-
ton. He tried to stop the car but
was too late. The wheels Of the
coupe ran over Frady'S hips. No
bones were broken or no INJURY
inflicted by this mishap, and ply
sicians examining Friday 1T the
Brevard hospital where he died
shortly after arrival, We're at i
loss then to assign u cause OF
death.
The only theory held by them
after the autopsy was that he
might have been thrown from an
other car.
Pending investigation, an in
quest has been set for Thursday
night of this week. Young Pickel-
sinner has not been detained IN
