I stop to talk with him and a
group OF fellow American Nazl
storm troopers one Sunday after
we marched together around the
broad expanse of Hindenburg
field. I am particularly interested
in what he knows about his organi-
cation in other parts of the coun-
try, since am to leave soon for
California.
Santi, a heavy.set man with a
plump, laughing face, says his
organization started back in 1922
and that some of the first mem
bers still are with us"
STARTED IN 1922
But we had lot of trouble
at the start" he explains. "Sev-
eral of or members were stab
bed to death by Communists
while appearing on the street
in uniform. I had gone with a
group to get newspapers and
while we we're gone, these Com
munists sneaked up and dug
knives into their backs.
I'VE had to keep off the
streets when We were in uni.
form after that. We met quietly
in each others houses. But our
movement kept growing. In
1929, we chartered our organiza-
ton as the Lictor Society, Incor-
porated, for every State in the
Union. We decided something
had to be done to wipe out
Communists in this country.
Since then we have organ
lied IS chapters and now are
growing very fast. In Septem.

convention in Chicago at which
we shall have back shirts from
coast to coast"
"FASCISTS AT HEART"
Italians, he said, are all FasciSts
at heart, and have no use for Com
munism, but many of them won't
talk about FaSciSm.
Some are afraid to join us
because they think their bus
mess might be hurt. Especially
the older Italians are that way.
And there are some who don't

TOKYO, Sept. ~ G.N.SO.
While japanese wspapers

BLUFF THAT GAINED ACoLoNY

THE recent rumor that German
 troops were being shipped to Morocco, and were fortifying Ceuta opposite Gibraltar. caused great concern in France and Eng land until Germany denied 1t. But the story recalled the famous ''in- cident" of 1911, in which a blufy by Kaiser Wilhelm II brought his country a large slice of the French Congo. and economic advantages in Africa.
 At that time European nations were eager for power in North Africa. German interests had some mines near Agadir. in Mo- rocco. and on pretext of protecting his pioneers, Wilhelm sent the gunboat Panther to Agadir. Rage and resentment stirred France and Italy, and there was threat of war. The incident was cleared up ul- timateiy. but not before Germany got its "bribe" for withdrawing from the Moroccan port.
 Now definitely French. Agadir Is pictured on one of the stamps issued by France for Morocco in l033.

Chapel Hill, Oct. 12-(AFO-Robert

torney general, asserted here today
.sthe friction caused by judicial re-
view of the 'acts of the legislative

most vexing problem" in making

In an address prepared for the Uni

Day celebration, Jackson declared
"every popular and aggressive Presi-
dent, except Washington, who appoint
ed all of his judges, had had conflict
with the judiciary. Jefferson, Jack
son, Lincoln and the two Roosevelts
each had bitter conflicts with the
court"
A change of governing parties by
the people implies some change of
politics" said the attorney, who has
upheld many New Deal-sponsored
laws before Federal courts. Choice
of a new leader implies new objec-
tiveS. The outstanding achievement OF
our system is in changing government
control and policy by elections instead
of bullets. 1t was planned to direct
the impact of conflicting social sour
ces to the ballot box instead of to
the battlefield
But, he asked, "what if new lead
ership finds it's policies defeated and
it's promises broken by a hold-ove1
judiciary, still adhering rigidly to the
rejected regime? The answer is, sim
ply if not satisfactory:
EITHER democracy must surrender

Cash Income
For Farmers
In State Up

College Station, Raleigh, Oct. p
Cash income of North Carolina farm
ers during the first eight months of
1887 was 1851 900 higher than in the
corresponding period for 1886.
This figure was based on income
from the sale of principal farm pro-
ducts and the AAA payments to CO.
operating farmers in this State, said
Dean l. o. Schaub, of State College.
According to a report from the Fed
eral Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics, cash income the first two-thlrdS
of this year amounted to $68,375,O 900.
Last year it was $50 ,656 900.
Income from the sale of principal
products was about the same for the
two periods, the dean continued; the
AAA payments accounted for most of
the increase
During the first eight months of
1886, government payments to North
Carolina growers totaled 1884 O00
while in the same period this year
they amounted to $11, 1880, 900.
The payments during the January
August period of 1886 were distribut-
ed in settling up government obliga-
tions to growers under the old AAA
crop control programs invalidated by
the Supreme Court early in the year.
Payments made this year have been
for growers cooperation with the AAA
