MOSCOW PRESS SEES TREATY
WITH FRANCE WORTHLESS;
FLAYS MUNICH SURRENDER

MOSCOW, Oct. 5. UP).-The
Franco-Soviet pact had been rem
dered virtually worthless by the
capitulation of France in the
Munich four-power accord, Journ-
al de Moscou, French language
weekly which reflects opinion of
the Soviet foreign office, suggest
ed today.
"Without consulting the Soviet
union" the Journal said, France
nuilified the Soviet-Czech pact,
which was a corollary to the Fran
co-Soviet pact one of the most i'm
portant elements of the eastern
regional pact.
international public opinion is
now questioning what value the
pact may have,
since France destroyed its treaty
of alliance with Czechoslovakia
when the latter was under the
heel of the Fascist aggressor. The
loss of allies and isolation is the
price France is compelled to pay
for captivating to the aggressor. "

Is Invalid G

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 5,--Hbe
Pennsylvania Railroad company,
in North Carolina was held not
liable for an income tax of ST.
95O.72 for the year 1882, the
fourth U. S. circuit court of APP
peals ruled here yesterday in re-
versing a finding to this effect
which had been made by the U. S.
board of tax appeals.
In making it's decision, the
court held that the question at is
sue was whether the taxpayer had
derived any taxable gain through
a purchase of certain bonds of
$4,000 par value for $4,750. 1t
held that money invested in the
railroad virtually was a loss and
that no ascertainable gain had
been made by reason of the bond
transaction.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co,
whose 42-mile road between Hen
Jacksonville and Lake Toxaway is
operated by the Southern Rail-
way, had appealed on the ground
that no real gain had been made
in the roads financial position by
the bond transaction.

PRAGUE, Oct. 5. (UP)-The
new cabinet of Premier General
Jan Syrovy today took over the
conduct of the government. Its
immediate task was consolidating
what is left of the country after
cessions of territory to Germany
and Poland and to seal an agree
ment with Hungary which also has
demanded territory.
It was a smaller but stronger
government than the former one.
Cabinet members have been re-
duced from Is to IA, including
three generals.
There were increasing reports
that the "new Czechoalovakla" is
ready to break away from France
and enter into close collaboration
with Germany and Italy.
Government leaders continued
negotiations with leaders of the
Slovak peoples party of the late
,Monsignor Andrea Hlinka, repre-
senting a large part of the coun-
try's 100000 Slovaks in their

PRESIDENCY
OF REPUBLIC

PRAGUE, Oct. 5. (UP)-Presi-
dent Edouard Benes resigned to-
day after losing his fight to pre-
vent German absorption of the
Sudeten area of Czechoslovakia.
The government was left for
the time being in the hands of
Jan Syrovy, World War hero, at
the head of a reconstructed cabi-
net in which the Slovakian minor
ity of the partly dismembered re-
public had been given stronger
representation.
Benes' governmental policies
had incurred the bitter enmity of
Adolph Hitler.
His resignation was regarded as
the result of an inevitable change
in Czechoslovakia's foreign policy
after amputation of its main de-
lenses.
Syrovy will be provisional pres
ident until the national assembly
is summoned for election.

700 ACRES, 600 LOTS IN LAUREL PARK ARE
ACQUIRED By LAUREL PARK Land Co.; SAY
new DEVELOPMENT WORK PLANNED BY FIRM
Local and Out Of Town
Capital Investe d; H.
Walter Fuller Will Be
Property and Sales Mgr.

Deeds transferring 700 acres of
land adjoining Indian Cave Lodge
and approximately 600 lots sit
uated in various parts of Laurel
Park from the Consolidated Real
ty Company to Laurel Park Land
company, a new corporation in
which local and out-of-town capt.
tai is invested, were placed on
record in the Henderson county
courthouse yesterday afternoon.
Value of the land and lots on
the tax books is approximately
$4,000, but the actual amount in
volved in the deal was not made
public.
The transfer recalls a period
about 10 years ago when Russell
B. Smith of New York City, came
to Hendersonville, acquired a
large amount of property then
owned by Laurel Park Estates,
contracted to complete the Fleet
wood hotel, atop Jumpoff noun
tain, induced the people of Hen
Jacksonville to vote authorization
of a bond issue of 100000 to as
sist in the project, and then failed
to follow through to successful
conclusion.
The real estate was acquired in
the name of the Laurel Park
Realty company and work on the
Fleetwood was resumed momen-
tarily, but the bonds were never
issued and Mr.. Smith remained in
New York. Later, the CONSOLE
dated Realty company acquired
the land under mortgage fore
closure and for the last nine years
it has not beer on the market.
'NoW,:it was said today, both the
acreage and the lots will be Of
fered for sale "but not at sacri-
flee prices which would lower the
values of other property in Laurel
Park" Considerable development
work is planned.
The property transferred yes
terday is the last of that form
erly owned by Laurel Park Es-
tates, it was said, and includes
many of the choice lots in the SUBJ
division as we'll as the large acre
age. The deal was handled by the
Station Realty company for the
seller and by o. B. Crowell for
the Laurel Park Land company.
H. Walter Fuller, former presi-
dent of Laurel Park Estates and
for many years a large property
holder in Laurel Park, is a stock
holder in the new company and
will be property manager and
sales manager, although the prop
erty will be listed with all real
estate brokers. Names of other
stockholders will not be made
public for the present, it was said,
but all are directly interested in
the future development of Laurel
Park.

LONDON, Oct. S. - tUP) -
Prime Minister Chamberlain to-
day sounded provincial leaders
throughout the country on the adj
visibility of calling a general
election with his foreign policy as
the issue.
Well informed sources reported
a decision is to be made soon to
appeal to the electorate for a new
mandate, based on the Munich
Horsepower agreement and Cham
berlain's program of continued
negotiation with dictator govern
rnents.
The prime minister's action
came as he sought vote Of con-
fidence in his government and
pressed toward sweeping re-
alignment Of European powers
which he hopes will clear up out
standing obstacles to a lasting
peace. ,... 80. -..t-..--..-,
While the prime minister and
his cabinet aides fought off oppo-
-sition attacks in the house OF
commons, reports, from reliable
quarters here and dispatches from
Rome indicated that the first item
on Chamberlain's "must list
revival of the Anglo-Italian pact
was near success.
Chamberlain hopes to present
this diplomatic triumph" to the
country in q general election as
proof Of the success Of his policy
of "dealing with dictators.
Although there was no official
information as to the progress Of
the conversations in Rome be-
tween Lord Perth, the British am
bassador and Count Galeazzo
Ciano, Italian foreign minister, it
was understood that the talks
were almost entirely concerned
with settlement Of Anglo-Italian

lieved to have urgently sought a
formula for "wiping the slate
clean" and paving the way for
general four-power understand
