Boy Slayer
OfGirl Is,
Faces Trial

New York, May % (AP)-State and
defense counsel moved warily today
to select jury to try 16-year-old Dom
aid Carroll Jr., for the murder of his
sweetheart-a killing for which even
the girls parents have forgiven him.
Shortly after noon, only two men
had entered the jury box, and both
had passed significant tests.
To the defense both men, H HI.
Whit, a sales manager, and r. J.
Davies, a purchasing agent, had
pledged they had no prejudice against
the surviving partner of an unfulfilled
suicide pact, it being the defense con-
tention that Donald Carroll was such
partner To the state they had
pleaded that the youth of the occu-
pant of the prisoners dock would not
bias them in his behalf.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Matthiesen, pa
rents of the blonde 1S-year-old Char
lotte Matthieson, appeared in the
court room to offer moral support to
the boy who killed their daughter.

REPORTED SURRENDERING

With the Japanese army in Central
China, May % (AP)-The Japanese
field army said today that 10000 de-
moralized Chinese soldiers have sur
rendered since the fall of Suchow.
The number of prisoners mounted
rapidly as Japanese forces relentless
ly pursued fragments of the routed
Chinese army fleeing from the con-
quered central China railroad zone.
Desperate shattered Chinese were
Tghting for their lives in the Suchow

narrowed the trap down to an area
roughly IL miles in diameter, center
ing on the Lushan hills, midway be-
tween Suchow and Suhsien.
The Japanese were in full posses
sion of Suchow.
In the adjacent fighting zone, where
tne Japanese say more than 100000
Chinese were caught, tanks, motorized
units and infantry could be seen pur-
SUNG groups of fugitives across
lleids, harassing them with machine
gun and rifle fire.

Washington, May 23.-(AP)- The
House broke it's rules committees pro
lOnged blockade of the revised wage
hour bill today by voting overwhelm-
ingly to DEBATE the measure imme-
diately.
This action ratified a petition sign
ed May by 21S members to force
the legislation to floor in spite of the
rules committees steadfast refusal to
give it preferential status.
Debate was limited to four hours,
but leaders. said efforts of southern
bloc to make the measure more flex-
ible might delay a final vote until
late tomorrow.
It was the second time wage-hour
legislation had come before the House
in the last six months. 1t rejected a
somewhat different version last De
cembef during the special session.
Speaker Bankhead announced the
roll call vote in favor of bringing the
bill to the floor was 322 to 70.
The revised measure makes no pro
vision for wage variations between
the north and south, or between urban
and rural communities. 1t would es-
tablish a universal minimum wage for
interstate industry, starting at Is
cents an hour, and increasing to 40
cents at the end of three years. Hours
would start at A per week and drop
to 40 in two years.
Southerners attacked the inflexi-
bility of the revised wage-hour bill

Frank Harrison, Pitt County SUI
periOr Court clerk, continued, his
testimony today as to various court
costs as custer proceedings against
Sheriff S. A. Whitehurst entered
their third week of hearing.
Pitt commissioners, seeking
Whitehurst's removal on various
charges, alleged he failed to col
lect fines and costs. The defense
commended that i'm most of the
cases the defendants had been re-
leased or been given a period of
time to pay the costs, and that in
such cases the sheriff was in no
way responsible for uncOllected
costs.
The petitioners announced they
would recall to the stand two audi

a heavy blow, it was said authorita-

General Alexander Won Falkenhausen

German authorities in Hankow IN

Although the German officers con

been won prevailed in Praha today,
augmented by the conviction that,
but for the obvious determination of
the Czechs to defend their territory
at all costs and against all odds, Ger

Official circles and the general pub

The peaceful passing of yesterdays

Germany, but the question of how her

of trouble.
Some 100000 soldiers remained along

"If Congress passes the General

business, and its successful operation
in a practical, productive and profit
able sense.
Today is a poor time for s~enseless
talk, insinuations, and pernicious
propaganda which is used to influ-
ence the masses. Mass psychology
when it breaks from bounds may
bring about serious conflict. It has
no soul, it is devoid of reason, and
intelligent attributes commonly ac-
cepted as reflections of civilized
people.
Instead of listening to and being
influenced by smooth language and
soothing words as evidence of peace,
they should instead be accepted as
the rumbling before an avalanche.
Our working men, or rather our
common people, in which I include
all of us, who unlike James, must
rest upon their own initiative, should
understand. Operating the govern
ment is not different from operating
a business except in the fact that the
government does not earn one cent,
but is instead spending the earnings
of all the people. The government
borrows money IN our ability to
pay it back. The government is not
Limited by us in the amount it may
borrow, but is instead using a blank
check for anything they want to
write and the check is now about
forty thousand million dollars.
Would you as an owner of a bust
ness allow its managers to borrow
on your credit any amount they
wanted and without even accounting
for its use? Certainly notl You
would stop their spending first and
get new managers for your business
or else go broke.
Instead of fooling with ceiling for
hours and floor for wages, a purely
local matter, and unconstitutional
measure to attract votes, it would
have been better if Congress had
put a firm ceiling over its spending
and impervious floor under its bor-
rowing. All governments should be
compelled by us to live within their
income or else resign.
You and l and all the rest of us
must break our back and endure
suffering and privation to meet the
most ridiculous spending orgy in the
history of the world. 1t does not
only cruelty US, but it is the blacklist
injustice to our children and pos
terity.
Everything in life is based upor
and subjected to some Fundamental
law-and with us, it is the Constitu-
ton of the United States. 1t is {
charter of the public's rights anc
designates the duty of the govern
ment to us. In this same instru-
ment we find the powers delegated
to the government and reserved tC
us. It is our duty if we desire tc
perpetuate our own liberties ano
rights, to place the government
where it belongs, as a servant of the
people and not their masters. If we
fail to do so, we are lost.
The attitude which the govern.
ment has assumed the past five
years is not constitutional and nj
power is delegated either to Con.
gress or any other branches of the
Federal government to dictate t.
any private business or industries
their policy. Such prerogative il
,purely a private affair and should
be respected by the government a
a constitutional right which is re
served for the people. The peopl,
, are: Industry, commerce, business
and labor; the four units who carr
all wealth and pay the salaries O

Coach Bing Miller, who directs the
destinies cf the Henderson high
school Bulldogs, has again reached
into his strong forward wall, this time
yanking Robert Rideout, crack CEN

Chick Stewart, letter guard, was the

Hunk Coghill and Jack Sanders will
battle it out for center since Rideout
has been shifted from the pivot post
to the backfield.
Gambler will do the passing and
kicking, with Chick Stewart running
at quarterback. Dick Galloway will
handle the line plunging from full
back, and Rideout will heave some of
the passes and do the blocking, at
which he is most adept. Johnnie

DEACS IMPRESSIVE
IN SATURDAYS WIN
Davidson Gets 1876 Measure
From The Citadel; Wake
Forest Wins 57-6

Wake Forest Colleges Demon Dea-
cons looked impressive in the 81 to 9
route of Randolph-Macon at Wake
Forest Saturday night, the much
heralded spohomores in the Deacon
lineup came through to the satisfac-
ton of the Deacon supporters.
Davidson, another Big Five school,
opened its season against Citadel
winning a close IL to 6 contest at
Charleston, S. G.
The Deacon backfield of Captain
Write, Tony Gallovich, Edwards and
Jimmy Ringgold possessed plenty OF
power and speed, and displayed both
in the rout Saturday.
Coach Piehead Walker has the
Deacons turning in some of the fin
est blocking seen in early season
football, and this work was a great
aid to the Deacon backs in getting
off on long jau1ts.
Randolph-Macon's only score came
in the first quarter after Captain
Write had scampered 85 yards for
the first Wake touchdown. Lyle Me-
Fall took Wakes kick on his own ten
and streaked down the left side OF
the field 90 yards for score. He was
not n1olested, after he passed the
Deacon,s 80.
Walker used practically everything
he had on the Deacon bench during
the contest, the final periods being
cut short, due to the r0ut.
