$50, 600 Trade at Stake As
Buncombe People Ask
Unreciprocated Favors
CITY BOARD SEEKING
FAIRNESS FOR ALL
By J. T. FAM, JR.

The possibility of a friendly
civil action, to test Henderson
ville's milk sale ordinance, was
discussed this morning by Mayor
A. V. Edwards, County Farm
Agent G.. D. White, and two
prominent county dairy farmers
as an impasse apparently has
been reached in a controversy be-
tween city officials and the Bilt-
more dairy relative to the sale Of
milk here.
1t was the concensus of opinion
of the group that further discus
sion between interested parties
was useless, and Mayor Edwards
and other members of the group
expressed the opinion that test
civil case would be the only solu-
ton to the problem.
Floyd Osborne, one of the
county's largest dairymen, offer
ed to serve as agent for Biltmore
Dairy in the bringing of such an
action, provided it were agreeable
to the Buncombe county con-
Germ.
Mr.. Osborne stated that he had
never had case in court, and
would be willing to enter into
such an action only if it were
brought on friendly basis for
the purpose of testing the ordi-
nance, and only if such procedure
had the backing of city officials
and reputable citizens in Hender-
sonville.
Briefly the situation is as fol-
lows: A Henderson county dairy
man, running short of milk,
bought 10 gallons of milk from
Biltmore dairy for retail sale
here. He was informed that under
the city ordinance he would have
to pay fees for sale and inspec-
ton. Under these conditions he
was unwilling to resell milk
bought from Biltmore.
WANT MILK SOLD UNDER
OWN INSPECTION
Biltmore dairy then notified
Henderson county producers that
purchase from them would be
stopped unless they were allowed
to sell milk in Hendersonville. Let
tiers were sent to Henderson pro-
ducers, to Mr.. White and to city
officials, and the Buncombe con-
Germ stated that milk purchases in
this county would be stopped on
June l unless the city took ac-
ton.
The Hendersonville ordinance
is practically the same as a regu-
lation in force in Asheville. Yes

Allen and DR.. R. E. Taylor. city
health officer, visited Asheville,
where they conferred with the

said this morning, that the Ashe-
Vile ordinance would be enforc-
ed and that Hendersonville dairy
men would have to pay the ices
if thew operated there. ,

mountainside, and only two bodies
were in the wreckage-one OF
them that of Wiley, still at the
controls.
A mile and half away persons
travelling along main highway
could see. where the plane struck
first, then bounced for 500 yards
and burst into flames. Dense fog
similar to which Pilot Wiley
probably was trying to penetrate
when his ship cracked up-had
hidden the wreckage until yester-
day, when it was found by Walter
Peterson, a rancher.
The bodies were taken from the
steep slopes of Mount Stroh, and
placed in mortuaries at San Fer
nando. -.
Federal and county authorities,
aided by officials of the Lockheed
Aircraft corporation, started an
inquiry.
Preliminary investigation show
ed the plane struck, evidently
catching fire at the first impact,
100 feet below the peak Of the
mountain, then bounced, struck
again and rolled through cactus
and brush and Founders, tossing
out the bodies Of seven victims.
The plane was en- route to st.
Paul, Mimi, via Las Vegas. It was
a new ship, worth $4,000.

ENGAGEMENT
BITTEREST OF
10 MONTH VAR
Large Chinese Force De-
clared Bottled up After
Rail Artery Broken
VICTORY SAID COSTLY
FOR THE JAPANESE
OMITTED PREss)

Japanese today announced the
capture of the strategic city Of
Suchow after one Of the most f.
rocious engagements Of the China
war.
Fighting hand-to-hand in the
rain, Japanese stormed the she'll
wrecked city from the west and
battled through streets against
bitter Chinese counter attacks.
Despite the prolonged artillery
and aerial reimbursement to which
Chinese have been subjected.
Another japanese army adyanc-
ing from the south threatened to
trap probably 100000 Chinese
troops in the Suchow area.
Although the main Chinese ar
mics apparently had been ordered
to withdraw from Suchow and
join guerilla counter attacks in
defense Of the. vital Lunghai rail-
road front it was indicated that
many thousands were concentrat-
ed on the defence of the key city.
With artillery hammering the
city throughout the night We'd
nesday, and japanese infantry
pressing forward to Chinese en-
trenchments, were locked in q
bloody hand.to-hand battle with
Chinese "big sword" brigades.
Chinese reports said reinforce
ments were being pushed TO aid
more than 100000 Chinese sol
diers, caught in q giant net Of
Japanese lines which were rapid
ly closing on the area.
The battle for Suchow, strage-
tic city ct the junction Of the
Lung-Hai and the Tientsid-Puko
railways, had become q race
against time. 10
Nose Of the Chinese troops in
the area are now concentrated
within the jaws of the japanese
trop, and have been fighting for
4S hours almost steadily, in spite
of downpour Of rain.
Japanese advance units have
cut to within few hundred yards
of the Chinese lines on the vest
ern edge Of the city.
The Japanese, equipped with
artillery and mechanical units,
moved forward on q wide fan-like
front between Taierhchwang and
Pihsien, east Of the Suchow-Fu,
herding the Chinese before them,
according to japanese reports.
The Japanese strategy seemed
to have been to break through the
Chinese resistance in the area
west Of Suchow Flu before the lat
ter could withdraw troops from
the Taierhchwang sector, east Of
the city, and rush them to the aid
Of the beleaguered defenders.
The Chinese in the eastern Sec
tors apparently had attempted to
locate weak point in the encircl-
ing japanese lines and cut
through, possibly achieving
quick victory that would menace
the Japansss rear and prolong the
battle for the city until the Chin
csc troops In the southwest, near
Kweith, could reorganizs their
lines. -
The japanese columns pressing
northward along the railroad
from the Marking area, occupied
the walled city of Suhsien, IS
miles south Of Suchow-Fu, and al
so penetrated to the town Of
ChanRchwang, only four miles
from the west gate Of the city, &C.

increasing legal limitation on fed
eral bond issues from $25,000,-
100000 to $3O,0OO,000,0O0. AS

of federal obligations represented

On motion of Senator Prentiss

amended so that the partition,

RALEIGH, May 10 (UP)-North
Carolina Democrats from 100
counties gathered here today
for the biennial statewide party
convention to hear the keynote
address of Rep. Lindsay Warren,
adopt a platform and choose a
new state executive committee.
& The convention preceded by
only slightly more than two weeks
the June A primary at which
Democrats will choose nominees
for the u. S. senate, state utilities
commissioner and eleven congress
sional posts.
Chief interest of the conven-
tiOn delegates was centered in the
eff year battle for nomination to
The IL Senate.
Sen. Robert R. Reynolds, in
cumbent, is defending his senate
post against Rep. Frank Hancock,
who abandoned his fifth congress
sional district job to compete
against the Asheville senate for
the party nomination. The winner
of the primary campaign is vir-
tually assured of election in No
vember.
Hancock has been campaigning
vigorously throughout the state
for many weeks, leveling oratical
fire against Reynolds record in
the senate and accusing his OPP
ponent of being a "playboy sem
ator."
Reynolds has remained in Wash
ington, leaving his campaign in
the hands of his managers, until
this week, when he returned to
the state for two addresses in
which he defended his stand on
major legislation and bid for sup
port on grounds of his adherence
to New Deal policies.
Both candidates have forecast
for themselves Overwhelming"
victories.
Demonstrations for both men
were expected on the convention
floor before the day is ended, al
thought it was considered improb-
able that any action of the dele
gates indicating a preference in
the battle would be taken.
Hotel Hobbies and rooms were
crowded with convention delegat-
es with interest for reaction to
Hancock's defiance to the "east-
west" tradition which in the past
has dictated that one of North
Cardinals senators shall come
from the west and one from the
east.
