bar REQUESTS
COUNTY court.
BE RENEW Ed
Recommends O. B. Crowell
for Recorder; Arthur
Shepherd for Solicitor

The Henderson County Bar as
ISOLATION yesterday recommended
the re-establishment of the Hen
derson county recorders court.
In a session at the court house
lasting about two hours and half,
the association, as previously pre-
dicted, favored the setting up Of
the court by legislative enactment
and not by resolution of the coun-
ty commissioners, with the first
court officers to be named in the
legislative act for four-year terms
and officers to be elected there
after.
The bar recommended o. B.
Crowell to be judge of the court
and Arthur B. Shepherd; who
completed term as solicitor on
December 5, to be solicitor.
The bar also recommended re-
appointment of Mrs. H. E. Higgins
as court reporter for the superior
court.
A special committee, appointed
some time ago to study the court
question, reported yesterday that
the cost of cases in. recorders

LIMA. Dec. 10. (UP) -Prclim-
mary conversations designed to
effect an accord between the Unit
ed States, Argentina and other
principal American powers on a
common American defense front
have advanced to point, it was
learned last night, where Secre-
tary Of State Cordell Hull already
has submitted a project providing
for q forccful and binding agree
ment between the American ma
lions.
The proposed agreement would
repel not only any aggression by
a non-American country but also
any attempt to implant upon the
| American continent any foreign
system of theology which is con-
flict with the American political
system.
The very force of Secretary
Hulls project, which, it is under
stood, has been submitted to GER
tain leading delegates to the Pan
American conference here. has
caused a semi-sensation under the
surface routine of social proceed
ings preliminary to the. lorna!
opening of the conference.
AS a matter Of fact 1t is pos
sible that Secretary HulPs project
goes so far that It may threaten
an agreement in principle between
the United States and Argentina
which was rapidly crystallizine
into a complete accord along lines
whereby the conference, within q
few days, would have announced
formal conservation Of . COM
mon American front against for
eign theological interference in
American affairs or foreign ag-
erosion.
The reason for this danger is
that the project which Secretary
Hull now has submitted to certain
leading delegates seems to 60
much farther than the formal dec
laration to which Argentina al
ready had agreed in principle.

Paris Hears Hitler to Keep
Silent on Colonies
Restoration

PARIS, Dec. 10. (UP)-Diplo-
matte reports reaching Paris last
night indicated that Chancellor
Adolf Hitler would withhold any
active support of Italy's anti
French aspirations in the Medi-
terranean and probably maintain
a discreet silence, reliable inform
ants said.
These reports, heartening to
the French government, followed
Foreign Minister Georges Bon
nets outright question to Ger
man Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop as to Germanys
attitude toward the rising ltalo-
French tension.
Before Ribbentrop left for
Berlin early Thursday, to confer
with Hitler after signing a new
"no-more-war" agreement with
France, he was asked what course
Der Fuehrer would follow if the
Italian demands for French ter
ritories should ultimately lead to
war.
It was understood here that
Hitler is unlikely actively to back
up Italian aspirations in regard
to Djibouti, Tunisia or Corsica al
though he can not be expected
to say anything publicly which
might harm Italy's stand or lead
to speculation of rupture of the
Rome-Berlin axis.
Hitler's position was said in
Berlin dispatches to be made
more difficult by the fact that he
is unable to back any Italian
claim based on the presence OF
$4,000 Italians in Tunisia, mas
much as when he took over a
portion of Czechoslovakia, ne &C
quired a Czech minority OF $780,
900 persons.

REBELS FORM
FOR BIGGEST
DRIVE OF WAR:
Gen. Franco to Use 2O0,-
600 Troops and
Large Air Fleet
GREATEST SECRECY
SURROUNDS PLANS
By HARRISON LA ROCHE

HENDAYE, Franco Spanish
Frontier, Dec. 10. (UP)-Reports
seeping across the sealed frontier
from insurgent Spain today said
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
is organizing the biggest often
sive of the entire civil war, in
volving more than 100000 troops
and large air fleet.
The massing Of insurgent
strength for the anticipated ma
sjor. offensive picked up speed
during the day with movement of
reinforcements from Saragossa
toward Tamarite and Candasnas
and the arrival at Logrono, 1875
miles west of Barcelona, of mo-
torized units from Seville in the
south.
Franco, having closed the in
surgent Pyrenees border from the
Bay of Biscay to Andorra, took
all precautions to surround his
preparations with secrecy and
there was nothing to indicate
when the offensive would be
launched or it's definite objec-
tive.
Some frontier reports indicated
the drive might be delayed until
ff339, permitting an informal
Christmas truce in the front
lines.
From the nature of Francois
troop movements military observ-
ers at the frontier believed that
the insurgents would attempt to
drive a wedge into the loyalist
Catalonian lines east of the Ebro
and Secre rivers.
If the offensive is hurled east
ward from Lerida it probably
will mark Barcelona, the loyalist
capital, as the objective.
A lull in Francois heavy aerial
bombardments of the loyalist east
coast was attributed to his with
drawal of combat squadrons from
the eastern seaboard for rest and
repairs in readiness for the new
offensive.
1t was reported that in addi-
ton to 100000 front line and re-
serve troops, Franco would use
more than 800 fighting and bomb
ing planes, $50 tanks and more
than 400 field pieces.
The frontier was closed today
to all except Spaniards on Off
cial business.

Democracies Must Defend Selves--Eden
DODD STATES ALLIES AND d
U.S.. POSTWAR CONDUCT is Il
RESPONSIBLE FOR HITLER
Gives Background Of Euro
pean Strain at Rally =
Opposing Oppression

NEW fOkh, Dec. III. lUf -
William f. Dodd, former ambas-
sador to Germany last night told
citizens rally against oppression
that the procedure of the UniteS
States and the Allies after the
World war was responsible for
Adolf Hitler.
The meeting called by Mayor
Fiorello H. LaGuardia, crowded
Carnegie Hall to it's capacity of
$3.50 persons. Many stood out
side, unable to get in.
The mayor, who yesterday re-
ceived a death threat for his anti
Nazi activities, was guarded by 4
special detail of police. He was
given an ovation by the gather
ing. rs
Dodd, presenting "some of the
historical background and the
current developments which | had
the opportunity to observe per-
sonally for over four years, lead
ing up to Hitler's rise to power
and our civilizations dilemma"
said: -
"After the incredible carnage
and economic bankruptcy result
ing from the World war, when all
nations and all peoples wished to
outlaw war forever, the League
of Nations which Wilson had peri
suaded France and England I'd
agree to in the treaty of YER
Sailles, was set up.
at was asked by Democratic.
Germany to limit the .armamenE
of all nations as she was limited:
"But American manufacturers,
especially munitions makers, had
secret representatives in Geneva
to defeat the legal request of
Germany. One company paid its
secret spokesman there $25,000,"
Dodd said.
"The French and English arm
ament manufacturers did the same
so they could sell arms and other
supplies to Germany and Italy.
"Wilson was thus defeated on
his major points, and the League
of Nations became an Intellectual
instrument, he said. "Thus de-
mocracies became subjected to
grave dangers.
"The most important conse-
quence of our procedure after
the World war is the dictatorship
of Adolf Hitler curiously enough,
our country did more than any
other to break down the German
democracy, our leaders seemingly
unconscious of what liberal Ger
mans have done for u.s."
Dodd urged that the democra-
cies unite to "prevent Hitler's re-
gime from enduring"
"There is only one hope for
peace" he said. "That is for the
peoples of England, France, the
United States and all other coun-
tries ready to cooperate in peace
efforts, to join in action against
fascism, an action more aggres
sive and constructive than has
been done up to the present.
"These peoples must take mill
tant action and not allow their
leaders to further betray their in
terests and the interests of the
world in another Munich pact"
Dodd declared that economic
aggression, if not political, in
South America is the next Nazi
plan. Espionage and an ATTEMPT
to undermine American democ-
racy is the plan for this country
as has been amply proved in the
recent investigation of the dan
gerous fascist spy ring here"
