An Aged Ashe Man Apparently
Stranded In Cuilford County
Unusual Communications Rece-
ived at Jefferson Post Office.
Try to Locate Brother.

ASIDE from the regular routine of
mail, every post office in the coun-
try receives some rather unusual
and startling pieces of mail from
time to time, and as a result the
postmaster and clerks are frequent
ly concerned over what to do with
them.
When a person moves to another
postoffice and leaves a forwarding
address, the problem is quite simple,
but when someone moves away and
doesn't say anything to the post Of
flee, the problem becomes difficult.
And then when a card, letter or
package is received, addressed to a
person, firm or organization un-
known to the office, the problem is
mystifying. Of course there is al
ways one of two things that can
be done in case that kind; either
return the communication to the
sender or send it to the dead mail
box.
Last Monday morning four I'M
usual communications were received
at the Jefferson post office and all
four of them were from the same
person, who is urgently endeavoring
to get in touch with a Mr.. Jackson
Palmer or Farmer, of Ashe county
to notify him that his brother, an
aged gentleman, by the name of
James Palmer or Farmer, is, pre-
sumably, staying at his home and
to send for him at once.
The communications included three
postal cards and one telegram.
Three of them were addressed to
Jackson Palmer or Farmer and the
fourth card was addressed ITO Any
and All Churches in The Town, In
Tested Jefferson, N. c., Ashe Co."
Miss Irene Morphew, postmis-
tress of the Jefferson office, deliver
ed the postal card to Rev. R. H.
Stone and told reporter of The
Post about the other three dispat-
ches, when questioned, as she was
anxious to assist in locating the par
ty in question. Such information
is not given out by post office Off
Gals except in rare cases.
Miss Morphew stated that she did
not know or have any address for
a Mr.. Jackson Palmer or Farmer
and if there is a reader of The Post
who can give this information, he or
she is requested to get in touch with
Mr.. Stone.
The post addressed to the To-
cal churches contained the following
message:
''R. 2, B 40, Sept. rs
Greensboro, N. G.
Dear Friends: please find Jackson
Palmer or Farmer or Mrs. Price, his
housekeeper. 1 want him to send
for his brother, James Palmer or
Farmer. He is SO years old, in need
and very feeble in mind.
Yours,
w. L. Lindsay"
Mr.. Stones explanation is that
evidently this aged man recently
stopped at the home of Mr.. Lindsay
near Greensboro and told them that
he had brother living in Jefferson
or Ashe county. In the meantime
Mr.. Lindsay is no doubt give him
board and lodging.

 Hitler, Wussolini Together Fuehrer Adolph Hitler and Pre- mier Benito Mussolini, the war time army eorporals who speak and act for their nations, were in close CO., operation and left no doubt that they would act together in any emergency.
 On the other side, France and Great Britain cooperated as closely. They sought by all means to prevent a crisis, but the fact was that they seemed as united for the pur- poses of any real emergency as the Fascist combination.
 Tension Is Based
 Despite the admitted danger of the situation tension was eased, If only for the moment, today. First the French British admonitions to the nazi-fascist powers, though temperate, seem to have been firm and plain as to the danger of a European war. Secondly, Great Britain has undertaken to warn the Spanish Loyalist government that it, if only out of self-interest, must avoid making open antagonists of Germany and Italy. Thirdly, Ger many has advised Great Britain and France that she considers the bombardment of Almeria by a Ger man war fleet to have given her the satisfaction she required for the bombing by Loyalist planes Saturday of the battlesl ip Deutschland.
 Two Specific Moves
 Then there were two specific moves to liquidate the Deutschland Almeria incident and to prevent a recurrence. These were:
 LA British French proposal for a neutral inquiry to establish re- sponsibility for the bombing of the Deutschland.
 "A French move to establish neutral areas in the Spanish war zone to which foreign Warships in those waters might go with assur- ance that they would be immune from attack.
 The most hopeful aspect of the sit uation was that, with Germany ap- parently having decided that the bombardment of Almeria compen- sated her for the bombing of the Deutschland, France and Great Bri- tain continued to act cooly, survey ing the entire Spanish situation as

ItaIv Nav Send Fleet

Italy May Send Fleet
 Rome, June 1-(UP)-The news paper Il Piccolo, non edition of the authoritative Giornale DItalia, said today that Italy might have to send a punitive expeditionary force to Spain to exterminate the reds (loyalists) if the loyalist govern ment failed to control irresponsible foreign elements"
 Giornale DItalia is edited by Vir- ginio Gayda, often a mouthpiece for Premier Benito Mussolini. Hence great importance seemed to attach to the statement in Il Piccolo, the first reference to possibility that would imply the dispatch of an Italian army, fighting under the Italian flag, to Spain.
 Piccolo's editorial caused specu- lation on Gernany's attitude If such a step is taken
 It generally was felt Germany would adhere to her policy of close cooperation with Italy, and that open fascist-Nazi intervention might result.
 Washington Moves Slowly
 Washington, June 1.-(UP)-Gov ernment officials indicated today that they will proceed slowly and cautiously in deciding whether to apply provisions of the recently en- acted neutrality law to Germany in the latest European crisis. They ex- pressed hope that 1t would be solved without a clash of arms among the major powers,
 State department officials believe that the United States might dis turb international peace by declar- ing formally at this time that Q state of war exists between Germany and loyalist Spain as a result of the bombing of the German battleship Deutschland by Spanish loyalist air. planes and the retaliatory attack by German warships on Almeria.
 The neutrality law provides that Whenever the president shall find there exists a state of war" between two or more countries, he shall SC proclaim that as fact, and that he then shall proclaim the application equally to both or all countries in. volved in the state of war" of the provisions of the neutrality law.
 The neutrality law is already ir effect against both loyalist and in surgent forces in Spain as result of the 10-month civil war. This law would place in effect ar embargo on sales or shipment oi 'arms, ammunition or implement. of war" including all types of air craft. to Germany in event President Roosevelt should find a "state oi war" actually exists between Ger many and loyaliGt Spain,

 His majesty's government has ex- pressed deep regret at the decisions taken by the German and Italian governments in consequence of the bombing of the Deutschland" Eden said. We will continue to do our utmost to prevent aggravation of the situation and have been in con- stant communication with other governments to see what steps could be taken to restore the situation"
 Despite the withdrawal of Ger many and Italy from non-inter- vention, Eden indicated his belief that they have no intention of vio- lating the blockade of Spain against shipments of men and war mate rials.

 Valencia, June 1-(UP)-The loy- alist government charged today that Germany deliberately sought the trouble that resulted from the bombing of the battleship Deutsch- land and alleged that the Deutsch- land was in Tviza harbor. where it was bombed, to aid the nationalists in violation of German neutrality pledges.
 Denouncing to the world the AL meria bombardment by five German ships as lone of the most brutal outrages ever committed against Spain, the cabinet in a formal statement charged:

Arrest Italian

Pignan, French-Spanish Frontier, June 1- (UP)-French mobile guards today arrested an Italian carrying an ingeniously contrived bomb with which they suspected he intended to dynamite the railroad tunnel that connects the frontier with Barcelona, capital of loyalist Catalonia.
 The man was identified as Gull lermo Camperri, 38. of Imberta, Italy.
 Camperri refused information. The guardsmen found on him con- siderable sum of money, railroad tickets and baggage receipt. Finally, he had a therrnos flask. The guards men noticed that 1t was heavy. Opening it, they found coffee. But under the coffee was a metal cylin- der filled with cheddite and a clock work mechanism timed to explode the bomb at 3:30.
 Had the tunnel been dynamited 1t would have cut all railroad com municaticn between France and Barcelona-an important channel of supply for the loyalists. Na- tionalist aviators have made the tunned target all during the civil war because of its strategic inn portance.

SECURITY TAX GIFT
BY EMPLOYER 0.K.'D
Payment of Employees Share by
Firm Adds to Levy,
However.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
If an employer wants to pay his en-
ployes' social security taxes. Treasury
officials said informally today it's all
right with them.
The law requires deductions from
workers pay envelopes. but officials
said employers have the final liability
for payment. They added there would
be no attempt to enforce the letter of
the law if employers paid the taxes
themselves.
A Hartford, Conn. department store
reported Thursday it would pay the
tax for its employees. This raised the
question of whether the sum paid as
tax for the employe would be con-
sidered an increase to his salary and
therefore subject to an additional tax
itself.
Treasury officials said such payments
would be taxable as additional income,
but that the amounts involved would
be so smaH--for instance, IS cents on a
SIS weekly salary-as to make no
practical difference in total tax pay
ments.
They limited that Congress might be
asked to exempt from taxation en-
ployers' tax payments for employees.
