up Local Problems
EARLY CONSTRUCTION
is NOT ANTICIPATED

A meeting of the State Rural
Electrifcation commission will be
held at the city hall here on
Thursday, Sept. %, at II o'clock
in the morning, W. NJ. Sherard,
a member Of the commission, stat
ed this morning.
There are six members of the
board and all are expected to at
tend, Mr.. Shcrard said Members
of the commission will be asked
to spend the following day on a
tour of the Smoky Mountains Ma
tional Park. Dudley Bagley, Of
Currituck county, is chairman Of
the commission, and other mem
bers are Mr.. Sherard, d. f. Pur-
cell, F.. F. Allen, Sr., S. H. Hobbs,
Jr., and Mrs. Jane s. McKimmon.
The commission will consider
some Of the problems Of rural
electrification peculiar to this sec
ton at the meeting here. Mr..
Sherard pointed out today that,
while great progress has been
made in Eastern North Carolina
in rural elcctrifcation, little prog
ress has been made in the noun
tain section.
He stated that it was his opjn-
ion that increased costs of con
struction in this area and the fact
that rates are much lower in this
area were the principal causes.
Construction costs are much
lower in the east where the land
is more open and level, Mr.. Sher-
ard said He also pointed out that
private power companies will un-
dertake rural construction where
the income from such lines will
pay the construction costs in a
period of five years. In the east,
where minimum rates are about
three times as great as in this
section, income from such con-
struction will pay the cost more
frequently than in this section.

NEW RECOVERY
BORROW IS
NOW in SIGHT
National Debt Will Exceed
38 Billions at an
Early Date

WASHINGTON, Sept. z. tUP)
of the Treausry Hen
ry Morgenthau, Jr., announced
last night that the government
will 90 into the open market this
month and borrow $700,0OO,OOO
in "new money" to help finance
the recovery program.
Morgenthau said that the
amount to be sought is "abOut
One-third of the new money which
the treasury expects to borrow
during the coming fiscal year"
The figure was a surprise mas
much as fiscal experts expected 1t
to be no more than $50O,0OO, 900.
He would assign no specific rea-
son for the $7OO,OO0,O00 figure
other than to say it was for re-
covery purposes. He also pointed
out that the market for borrow
ing is favorable.
The issues will be in two lots,
he said, the first of 00,00O,OOO
offering of II to ID year, 2.5 per-
cent bonds Of 195O-1952. The
other will be an assue of $780,
100000 of one and one eighth
percent reasury notes, due June
Is, 1943.
At the, same time the treasury
will refnance $433,000,900 of
notes, series E-1938, maturing
Dec. Is, this year.
The borrowing will go into the
treasury's cash box to be used for
ordinary government eXpenditur-
cs, Morganthau said. Government
cash on hand amounts to $780,
900.
1t will have the effect of in
creasing the public debt, now
standing at $37,62S.266. .92O, to
an all-time hight of around $38,-
3OO.OOO,OOO.
President Roosevelt estimated
the public debt will reach $40
650,OOO.OO0 by next June so. An
uncertain factor in both budget
estimates and borrowing is the
influx of gold to this country
for war-frighteued European ma
tionS.

NUREMBERG, Germany.
Sept. 8. (UP)-Adolf Hitler
is seeking direct discussions
with Great Britain on the
Czech crisis and at the same
time urged Sudeten Germans
to resume negotiations with
the Czechoslovak govern.
ment, it was reported today.
Hitler's attitude came as a
beam Of hope in the gloom
caused by the abrupt break
ing off Of negotiations on the
final Czech offer yesterday.
Hitler, it was said, is CON
vinced that the desdloe'r
caused by alleged i'll treat
ment Of Sudeten Germans ct
Maerisch was a bad tactical
move and likely to stiffep
the attitude Of foreign pow
ers on the ground that tbs
Sudetens were being obstruc"
tive.
Hitler was reliably under
stood earlier today to have
advised Konrad Henlein, the
"Czechoslovak Hitler" to exact
the fullest possible measure OF
concessions from Prague because
British support of the Czechs is
wavering.
The 1.-TWO fuehrers" conferred
secretly here last night, in the
midst Of the panoply of the tenth
annual Nazi Party Congress, on
the dangers arising from fresh
outbreaks of violence between
Czechsa and Henlein's Sudeten
German cohorts.
Henlein was ready to hurry
back to Prague to deal with the
situation growing out of what the
Sudetens and their Nazi support
ers called "Czech terrorism" and
q collapse of the Prague govern
ment's ability to maintain inter
nal order and prevent bloodshed.
1t was understood that Hitler
and Henlein had agreed upon a
plan for dealing with the situa-
ton, which was capped last night
by a breakdown in Sudeten-Czech
minority reform negotiations.
Hitler was expected to meet
British Ambassador Neville Hen
derson, but it was not known
when. Presumably they would d'S-
cuss the Czech situation, but M
formed persons doubted that Hit
ler would enter direct negotla'
tions with Britain on the GROUNDS
that such an act would proJec6
him too directly into the picture
Nazi officials said after the
Henlein-Hitler conference thaS
Henlein's autonomy demands, as
voiced in his April "a Carlsbad
speech, had ain no wise been re-
spected by the Czechs" in their
new offer of concessions.
Hitler was understood to hav7
told Henlein that Prague soon
would be forced to go further IN
meeting the Sudeten program o,
full autonomy because of lack OF
British support.
Der Fuehrer's supposed refer,
onco to mock of British support
was interpreted by some as mean
ing a British refusal to fight in
event of a German invasion OF
Czech soil. Others believed Hitlerl
referred to the fact that britaim
has expressed disappointment
at the extent of Prague's conces-
sions and have been bringing
pressure for more far-reaching
ones.
