War talk seems to be the favorite
topis of conversation there days, with
sympathy overwhelmingly in the
cause of Czechoslovakia. The general
concensus of opinion is that Herr Hit
Ter is bit too grasping and can only
be stopped in his conquests by being
decisively defeated in war.
People of these United States really
appreciate their nationality at time
like this. Reports from the press bur-
eaus reveal that concerted rush is
being staged by Americans caught in
the European maelstrom to get back
to the good old security Of the U. S.
Perhaps a good many OF the tourists
from this country now in Europe will
be willing TO spend their vacation
money next year travelling in their
own country. Most of them, we'd like
to wager, don't realize how many
interesting sights are to be seen with
out leaving the borders of cur country.

The State Liquor Board has declar-
ed another dividend this month, bring
ing their total since organization to
$12,900,000. There is no constitu-
tional reason why all this money can
not be allocated to cities and counties
if Legislators so desire, since it is
profit from business and not taxi
The state now collects ten per cent
tax on the gross liquor business in ad-
dition to it's share of the profits.

Forestry officials also ask the utmost
precautions with campfires, cigarettes,

the fire hazard to, be greater than
usual at this time of year.

VAST ASIATIC
FORCESSTRIVE
FOR VICTORIES
100000 Men Locked in
Series of Battles for Con-
troll of Kiangsu
NEW u. S. QUARREL J
LOOMS WITH JAPAN

SHANGHAI, Anril 26. (UP).
A spokesman for the Chinese war
office in Hankow said today that
100000 Chinese and Japanese
forces are locked in a series OF
battles outside Suchow-Fu ION
which the fate of our position in
Kiangsu province depends"
He said the Chinese were on
the offensive in some sectors and
had a total of 100000 men in ae-
ton against 100000 Japanese. In
addition the japanese had about
100000 men in reserve in areas
around Tsinan-Fu, the capital of
Shantung province.
The spokesman admitted ma
ior Japanese advances" on the
south Shantung front but added
that General Ii Thung-Jen (the
Chinese commander on the Su-
chow-Fu 'front.' started general
counter-offensvie early yesterday
which has resulted in the recap
ture of Tancheng go miles south
of Lin-Yi) by our forces, and de-
clared that "the Japanese also
were pushed back to the north
and east of Taierhchwang.
In Peiping it was reported thats
arrangements had been made for
the japanese tobacco companies
to enter the cigaret market IN
competition with the British
American Tobacco company which
long has had a virtual monopoly
in North China. The japanese
companies will build factories IN
Tientsin, Chingwantao, Marking,
Taiyuan-Fu and Peiping.
In Marking, the Domei News
agency reported, the Japanese
controlled Central China govern
ment refused to recognize a de-
cision of the U. S. court for China
in Shanghai declaring the Amep-
can William Hunt Steamship In
terests to be legal owners of the
China Merchants Steam Naviga-
ton company.
Thus it appeared the United
States would be involved in an
other quarrel with the japanese
since the u. S. court decision
made all properties of the COM
pany subject to U. S. government
protection.
Domei reported from Tokyo
that Japan plans to send the chief
secretary of the ministry of just
ice to Marking and Peiping next
month to prepare for surrender
of the extra-territoria rights en-
joyed by japanese in areas con-
trolled by the provisional Central
China and North China govern
ments.

NO SUPERIOR
COURT SESSION
HERE IN MAY
Few Cases Had Been Set;
Will Call June Term
if Needed

Due to the fact that only few
cases are awaiting trial on the
calendar, the May civil term Of
the superior court will not be
held, it was announced today. .
Only II cases were set for trial
when the calendar was arranged,
and these were scheduled for only
the first two days of the term on
the calendar. By cancelling the
term, the county will be saved the
expense of term of court.
In the event it is necessary, a
special term of the court will be
held in June to hear civil actions.
A special June term has been held
here in the past when the amount
of litigation justified such.
The May term was scheduled to
be opened on Monday, May 2,
with Judge A. Hall Johnston Of
Asheville, presiding.

INCREASED HOSPITALITY TO
TOURISTS, HOMESEEKERS AIM
OF GOVERNORS COMMITTEE
Steering Unit Will Make
Recommendations May
9; Not to Overlap Work
of Other Groups

Methods by which Henderson
county people may be made more
hospitable to tourists and home
seekers were discussed at the first
meeting of the Governors Hospi-
tally committee at the city hall
last night, and at the end the ap-
pointment of a steering committee
was authorized to bring in recon-
mendations of activities to be un-
dertaken by the major committee
of 43 members.
The subcommittee will be ap-
pointed at once by j. <. Shipman,
chairman, and will report in writ
ing at a second meeting to be held
Monday night, May 8. The recon-
mendations will be in keeping with
the sentiment of the gathering last
night that the committee should
center it's activities on the prob
lem of making Strangers feel at
home here and should leave other
community projects, such as ad-
vertising, promotion of industry
and agriculture, and the like, to
other civic organizations, princi-
pally the chamber of commerce.
The committee was appointed at
the suggestion of Governor Hoey
to supplement in Henderson coun-
ty the work undertaken by staEe
committee when it was authorized
to spend $250,000 to advertise the
advantages of North Carolina to
the "outside world" This adver-
Using is bringing in thousands of
injuries, and the number of Wis
itors to North Carolina is expect
ed to be largely increased as a
consequence.
At the meeting last night, Chair
man Shipman said that While
Henderson county is already the
most popular resort county IN the
mountains, largely because of the
hospitality of its people, there IS
much that can be done to enhance
this favorable reputation" He as
serted that the committee must 80
conduct its activities that the local
public will fully recognize the i'm
portance of welcoming visitors,
and will enter with zeal into the
task of upbuilding the community.
Suggestions were then made by
committee members as to how this
NAV be done, the speakers being
Fl. E. Buchanan, A. S. Browning
Jr., Mrs. Sadie Patton, Noah Hol-
lowell, dad" Croasdale, W. B.
Hodges, C. NJ. Ogle and A. 5.
Truck. The suggestions made by
these and others will be considered
bv the steering committee in for
mulating a program of activities
to be submitted to the major com.
mittee for approval at its next
meeting. ,, A.
About 30 members attended the
meeting last night and much EN-
thusiasm was shown.

nor, D., N. Y, of the house rules
committee Yesterday set Thurs
dav for the opening of hearings
on the explosive wage-hour plll'
target of attacks from southern
Democrats and many Republicans
O'Connor refused to predict
however, whether his committee,
which bottled up the original
waee-hour bill, would give tne
new measure a favorable report
but he said sit will pass II 1t ever
gets to the floor" ...
Meantime, labor's non,partisah
league, political arm of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organlza-
ton, announced it is campaigning;
actively in behalf of the new Dill
which would establish a minimum
WAGE of 40 cents an hour and a
n,aSimnm work week of 40 hours
after three years. ,
Other congressional develop
ments yesterday included:
Administration leaders won a
smashing victory in the house,
which reversed itself from two
nrevious stands and voted. I59 to
152, to appropriate $2,613,oOO to
beoin construction of the propos-
ed SI12,OOO,0O0 Tennessee Val
lev authority "super dam" at Gill
hertsyille, KY. The vote came on
the conference report of the ST.
425OOO,OO0 independent offices
appropriation bill after the SEN
ate stubbornly insisted on the
dam. The report goes back to the
senate for adjustment of differ
ences, however, because the house
baked on a provision that would
REQUIRE all employees affected by
the bill drawing $4,000 upward
annually to be confirmed by the
senate. .. -.

thority's key in flood control as
we'll as a power-generating unit.
The two branches of congress
had been deadlocked on the ap-
preparation for the Gilbertsville
dam until yesterday when the
house voted 159 to 1852 to approve
the ALLEGATION.
The supreme court affirmed a
District of Columbia federal court
decision which vacated the injunc-
ton against the PWA loan and
grant for the Chattanooga prof.
ect. The high tribunal ruled in
effect that the Tennessee company
does not operate under a federal
franchise because it holds a fed
eral license to operate the Hale's
Bar power dam on the Tennessee
river near Chattanooga.

REBELS BOMB VALENCIA TO
LEAVE OVER 100 DEAD AND
TWO BRITISH SHIPS SINKING
Nationalist Widen Coastal
Wedge and Seek to Trap
$4,000 Loyalists

HENDAYE, Franco Spanish
Frontier, April &c. (UP)-Insur-
gent bombers rained destruction
on Valencia and Castellon late
yesterday, killing more than 100
persons, paving the way for Gen
eralissimo Francisco Francois ad-
vance southwark.
Two British ships in Valencia
harbor were hit and reported
sinking. At least one British sailor
was killed and others were wound
ed. Many fires were started in the
seaport by incendiary bombs.
Twenty insurgent tri motor
bombers made the raid, protected
by 40 fast fighting planes.
Casualties at CaStellon were
unknown, but were feared to be
heavy.
Rescue squads dug in ruins last
night for additional dead and
wounded - more than so persons
were in hospitals - by the light
of fires started by insurgents in
cendiary explosives.
The black-tipped bombers blast
ed Valencia, provisional capital
of loyalist Spain until last Octo-
Der, as Francois armies drove up
on the city from the north and
northwest.
Along the coast, the insurgents
rolled through the rich Garden
of Levant" to a point south OF
Alcoceter and were reported only
20 miles from Castellon De La
Plana and so miles from Valen-
cia after killing some 1000 10y
alists in a bitter. six-hour battle
at Alcala De Chivert.
Moving steadily toward the
coast from the mountains inland,
General Jose Varela's insurgent
column closed in around huge
pocket formed by a line extend
ing from the Ebro delta to the
southwest toward the ruined city
of Teruel.
The fighting east of Teruel was
designed to entrap $4,000 loyal
lists, who have been driven east
ward from the Del Popo range,
and clear the way for Varela to
send his brigades down the Ter
uel-Valencia highway to join the
coastal column for the big assault
on Valencia.
If this huge undertaking can be
brought about Franco will have
widened his coastal wedge to a
strip of about 120 miles and will
have cut Madrid's "lifeline" to
the east coast.
