Outside Homeseekers, Investors
Still Look Toward Hendersonville
And Increased Sales Noted Here
Most of Distressed Prop.
erty Sold; Strengthens
Market and Demand

Outside homeseekers and inves-
tors continue to look favorably
on Hendersonville and Henderson
county real estate. This interest
is stimulating more thought of
homecoming by residents of Hen
Jacksonville and is resulting in in
creased sales.
Real estate brokers report that
interest has been manifested by
outside people in business proper
ties for investments. For a long
period there were no such IN
ouiries. Several pieces of proper
ty changed hands, but the ma
jority of it was in the distressed
class.
The Brownlee Insurance and
Realty company thinks the ma
iority of the distressed property
has been disposed of. Owners
have increased their capacity to
handle the properties or creditors
have become more lenient. Dur
inc the past year This firm has dis
posed of about half of the nifty
pieces of property they managed
here for the owners. While the
distressed property situation Is
not so tense, this does not mean
according to real estate brokers,
that there are not some excellent
bargains to be had.
The general tendency IN prices
MS well as real estate rentals Is
upward, and this means a neaitny
tone, say those in close touch with
the situation. .,l

WOMAN MAYOR
Wins BATTLE
Administration at Daytona
Beach Is Upheld by
Governor Cone

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Jan.
7.-CUP)-Mrs. Irene Armstrong,
grazing grandmother mayor who
used sub-machine guns to defy
the military might of Florida, last
night won her battle to retain
control of Daytona Beach's win
ter playground.
Gov. Fred P. Cone, who step
ped into the gubernatorial office
at noon yesterday, tonight revok-
ed an order by which Dave Sholtz,
retiring governor of the state,
had sought to sweep the grand
mother mayor and her city ad-
ministration out of office.
The 50-year-old woman who
gave up gardening to become
mayor of Daytona's winter won
derland, promptly withdrew the
machine-gun armed police who
had turned the city hall into an
armed camp.
She issued a proclamation call
ing for an "end Of all litigation,
and municipal business returned
to a normal tempo.
Cones revocation order, issued
at Tallahassee, represented a
sweeping victory for the attrac-
tive middle-aged club woman who
stood firm after former Governor
Sho!tz called out four companies
of national guardsmen to sweep
her from office.
Aiming the full city police
force with machine guns and mar
shalling the fire department as an
auxiliary force, she turned the
civ hall into an arsenal. AS the
troops moved on Daytona Beach,
Il appeared momentarily that open
warfare would break out for con-
troll of the city hall.
Actual clashes were averted,
however. when Circuit Judge Her
bert Frederick issued an inJuncc-
tion prohibiting an alternate ad-
m MIN named by Sholtz,
from interfering with orderly
nroccsses of city government.
That Injunction threw the fight
Intimately into the state supreme
court, but supreme court argu-
ments on a writ of supersedeass'
.cbeJuled for Friday, were obvi-
ated by Cones sudden and posi-
tive action last night.

Men and munitions today pour
ed into Spain for the civil war
factions while diplomats contiNu-
ed to talk Of neutrality.
The nationalists hammered at
Madrid in q desperate assault.
Spanish loyalists claimed 5000
Germans are participating in the
Madrid attack.
Ten thousand Italians have
landed in southern Spain. but
through France a parade OF war
munitions was moving for the 10y
alists.
Forty Russian anti-aircraft guns
with platforms were sen. from
France into Spain.
French leaders are increasingly
worried about the whole situa-
ton. They are ready to enforce
neutrality to the utmost but want
ed other nations to do likewise.
Anxiety also grows over the
danger of some naval incident.
With German warships patrol
ling the Spanish coast, the Ger
man ultimatum to loyalists de-
manding the release of the cargo
and a passenger of the Palos ex-.
pires at 8 a. m. Friday.
The Spanish civil war-part!cu.
larly its German and Italian IN
tervention aspects-appeared to-
day to be drawing Great Britain
and France into closer military
and diplomatic bonds than have
held them since World war days.
The visit to Paris of War Sec

with French War Minister Edou-
ard Daladier is expected TO inau-
gurate intimate cooperation be-
tween the general staffs of the
two countries. Both find their in

aced by Germany and Italy, al

with the latter to keep the peace.
Report from Paris asid the
French were becoming seriously
alarmed over the concentration

the Peninsula. French naval au-
thorities fear that--as a result Of
helping the rebels-Adolf Hitler
hopes to establish military and
economic strongholds in Spain
and Mediterranean islands which
would menace French communica-
tions with its North African col
onies.
Paris dispatches said that the
French press and politicians were
discussing a joint naval blockade
of Spain by France and Great
Britain if the Fascist powers re-

WASHINGTON. IAN. 7. (Up)
Budget estimates prepared by
President Roosevelt for transmits
sion to congress tomorrow will
show Secretary Of Agriculture
Henry 4. Wallace as a No. | New
Deal spendcr, official sources re-
vcalcd today.
Detailed estimates for the 1888
fiscal year beginning next July l
were carefully guarded, but reli-
able sources said the departments
total estimated expenditures will
approximate 81 ,250,000,000, a
new record.
This is approximately 100000
900 more than Wallace will spend
this year. Expanded activities of
the agricultural department ac-
count for the increase, it was
said.
The Resettlement administra-
ton, added to the department of
agriculture after the 1888 bud
get estimates were prepared. will
not be included in Wallacc's cs-
Inmates.
Another item which the budget
will not show will be funds for
aid of tenant farmers. A presi-
dental committee is studying leg
islative proposals to be transmit
ted soon to Mr.. Roosevelt. y
President Roosevelt's crop in
surance committee recently rec
commended a program for federal
insurance Uf wheat yields begin
ming in 1888. If congress approves
the program initial appropriation
of $1OO,00O,000 probably will be
necessary.
A special drought committee
has prepared recommendations
which, if adopted, probably would
call for expenditure Of several
million dollars in emergency
funds.
The largest single item in the
budget will be for continuation OF
benefit payments under the soil
conservation act. The act pro-
vides for an annual appropriation
of $500,000,000. .
Wallace recently apportioned
S2O0,O00,000 of federal road
funds to be used by states on fed
eral highways, grade crossing
eliminations and farm-to-market
roads. A considerable portion of
this will be expended in the 1888
