ROOSEVELT RECEIVES
DIPLOMATIC ADVICES

WASHINGTON, Sept. |. (UfD
Foreign observers last night spec
ulated on the possibility that Pres
ideut Roosevelt might speak out
for peaceful settlement of the Su-
deten-Czech crisis. but it was be-
heved generally that he will re
main silent TO avoid involving the
United States in the tense Euro
peau situation.
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull kept in
close touch with official reports
from various European capitals.
What course they feel should be
pursued-a strictly handS-off pol
icy or a fortnight appeal to all
involved nations to avert war
remained problematical.
In addition to diplomatic adj
vices Mr.. Roosevelt had before
him the report of Secretary of
Commerce Daniel C. Roper on the
possible effect of a general Euro
pean war on American business
and industry. Roper, who recent
" returned from a vacation
abroad, emphasized that he does
not believe there is much lkell-
hood of war at the present time.

POWDER BLAST.
FATAL TO FIVE
IN BUNC0MBE
Quarry Accident There Is
Laid to Three Posi-
BILE Causes

ASHEVlLLE, Sept. 1. (UP)-
Five men were blown to bits late
yesterday when a powder charge
exploded prematurely at Reeds
quarry near the city limits.
The dead were Billie Bizzell,
II, son Of Foreman A. Fl. Bizzell,
Harvey Webb, and three negroes,
Gus Davis, Wesley Moore, powder
man, and Will Merry, 80.
Foreman Bizzell said cause of
the blast was undetermined.
1t was believed the crew, work
ing 50 feet up on the l50-foot
quarry face, drilled into charge
of powder, placed powder in a
hole "hot" from recent drilling,
or detonated the powder in lamp
ing it.
A police guard was thrown
about the quarry after the explO-
sion which shook the western part
Of Asheville, and traffic on near
by highways was rerouted because
of possible danger of undetonated
drillings.
Searchers still were recovering
fragments of the bodies last night.
The five men were working within
eight feet Of each other when the
blast went off, and nearly all of
them were dismembered.
The Asheville Paving company,
operator of the quarry, began an
immediate investigation.

deadlock and the danger of an
international clash over Czecho-

The government kept the de

asserted authoritatively that 1t
was based on five major conce5-
sions as follows:
/. Division Of the country IN
