United Press Staff Correspondent

SHANGHAI, Oct. 20. (UP)-
Japan drove forward with her
conquest of China today in the
face of increasing opposition from
the great powers, including the
United States.
There was a noticeable harden
ing in the japanese attitude and
occidentals in Shanghai believed
that extremists in Tokyo had con-
verified the Japanese premier,
Prince Fumimaro Konoye, to
their doctrine that complete Jap
anese domination of east Asia
must be established once and for
all time.
Events indicating the determin-
alton of the japanese included:
In Paris the foreign office con-
firmed reports that Japan had pro-
tested to France against alleged
shipments of arms entering south
west China from French Indo-
China-an action which was con-
sidered possibly to portend Jap
anese occupation of the big Chi
nese island of Hainan which DOM
mates the sea approaches to
Frances south Asian empire.
Meantime Paris called Tokyo's
attention to the fact that Japan
has blockaded the YangtSe river
in at least a technical violation of
international law since she has

CITY'S HIDDEN
TAX BILL SAID
$334,l52YEARLY
National Commission Max
es Statement Following
Full Survey

Families of Hendersonville and
vicinity pay $334,152 annually IN
taxes on their retail purchases
alone, according to a survey by
the National Consumers Tax COM
mission. -,
Most of that amount is paid
through hidden taxes in higher
prices on food, clothing, fuel,
medicine and other daily purchass-
es, a report of the survey stated.
The survey, directed from the
commissions headquarters in Chi
cago, was made public through
Mrs. Rufus L. Allen, Of Waynes-
vile, the North Carolina member
of the commissions national COM
mittee. She said the analysis was
based on total retail sales in Hen
dersonville's III stores of 81, l42,-
900, as reported by the U. S. bu-
reau of the census.
Mrs. Allen, describing the COM
mission as representing a nation
wide fight by housewives on hid
den and direct taxes that "penal-
ize the consumer" declared:
EVERY day shoppers, whether
they know it or not, carry ma
jor share of the nations $12,3OO,-
100000 tax burden. Hidden taxes,
increasing the cost of even the
necessities of life, furnish 63 per
cent of all local, state and nation
al revenues.
Mrs. Allen, who said commits,
sion units are being organized
throughout North Carolina in the
nationwide fight, pointed out the
Hendersonville tax figure concerns
retail sales only and does not in
clude the many other taxes, hid
den and direct, which families
here have to pay.

new DEAL And
UTILITIES WILL
PLAN DEFENSE
Billions Will Be Expended
to Fuse Facilities for
{ War Time Program
CONDITIONS BRANDED
SERIOUS WEAKNESS
By..ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
Uifk.d Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP).
Tn federal government and the
Leading public utility companies
have agreed to start work at once
on a broad program designed to
fuse power facilities in the ma
tiorSs strategic war materials CEN
ters into an integrated system and
thus remove what President
Roosevelt branded as a SERIOUS"
national defense weakness, it was
announced last night.
The agreement was made known
by Assistant Secretary of Wsr
Loais Johnson, chairman of a
committee named by Mr.. Roose-
veil on September 7 to recommend
legislation and take other steps to
safeguard this country against a
shd rtage of electrical energy in
thd event of war.
The project calls for the imme-
diake expenditure of $350,000,OOO
fol equipment and construction,
but authorities said more than ST.
Qa,000,000 will be spent over a
t%6-year period IN circulating
the first phase of the program.
Johnson emphasized that plans re-
vealed yesterday constitute mere
ly start toward solution of the
problem.
Two of the multi-billion dollar
power industry's most powerful
executives hailed the development
not only as important in the in
terest of national defense, but
forecast that it will give potent
flip to economic recovery. Their
participation in the program was
viewed by some as a hopeful sign
pointing to the end of the war be-
tween the New Deal and the in
dustry.
C. E. Groesbeck, head of the
electric bond and share system
which has been in the forefront
of the fight against New Deal
utility reforms, said the program
affords an excellent demonstra-
ton of what can be accomplished
when government and business
"sit around the table in coopera-
tive spirit"
"The program is of great ma
tional significance not only as re.
lating to the defense program OF

Extremists
FRANCE WILL QUIT
LEAGUE FOR ALLIANCE

TOKYO, Oct. 20. (UP)-Jap-
anese Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye today reformed his cabi-
net.
He appointed Hachiro foreign
minister, succeeding General X.
Ugaki, who resigned early this
month. The premier had held the
portfolio until today.
Yoshiaki Hata was appointed
overseas minister.
Arita was an adviser to the for
eign minister before Ngaki re-
signed and when Ugaki stepped
out because of opposition to the
army's plan for a special govern
ment bureau to deal with the Chi
ma question, Arita also resigned.
The fact that he has now been
selected to replace Ugaki would
indicate that the premier still ia
vors a liberal program for China.
When Ugaki resigned it was wide
ly known the premier hoped that
eventually Ugaki could be brought
back to public life.
Arita's appointment was con-
sidered victory for, moderate
elements in the cabinet who had
been fighting demands Of extrem-
lists for complete Japanese domi-
nation of all Of China.
Arita has held the foreign post
before and is q veteran diplomat

HenderSonVille'S Bearcats went
to bat in the fourth quarter yes
terday afternoon, scored a 7 to 2
win over the Waynesville Noun
taineers and broke a siX-year los
ing streak to the lads from Hay
wood on the athletic field before
a large crowd.
Listless and slow in the first
half, the Cats got behind the eight
ball when Waynesville blocked
two punts in succession to score
a safety, but the locals surged
back in the fourth to score a
touchdown on a pass from Quarles
to Drake. 1t was fourth down
and the pass was good for 20
yards.
The Cats were butter-fingered
all afternoon. fumbled six times,
losing the ball on two occasions,
and much yardage on the other
four.
The visitors had a slight edge
on running attack, but made only
one first down in the entire sec
ond half. The Cats mace two first
downs in the first half and four in
the second.
LOCALS HAVE EDGE
ON THE AIR ATTACK
Quarles passed we'll, giving the
locals an edge on the air attack
with 80 yards against 8 through
the air for the visitors. The Cats
passed 16 times, completing and
Waynesville tried the air IA times,
completing 2. Although 80 passes
were tossed, there were no inter-
ceptions.
The Cat pass defense was bet
ter than in any previous game,
and the Mountaineers completed
only two short losses.
Due to the high wind, both
teams had trouble punting. Way
nesville had a punt blocked in the
first period and the Cats had two
blocked in the third. Another of
Quarles' boots went straight up
for no gain.
Hendersonville took the open

District Engineer E. E. Wallace

city council a program for resur-
facing Fifth and Sixth streets and
widening and resurfacing East
Main street between New street
and the east city limits, City En-
gineer Philip w. Knights told the
council Wednesday night.
The work would be financed with
the city's quarter-cent share of the
state gasoline tax.
Because the estimated cost OF
the improvement program would
not be more than $4,000. contracts
for the work could be let by the
district office in San Diego with
only the formal approval of state
headquarters, Knights explained.
Separate projects for improve
ment of the areas involved have
proved impossible because of the
lack of facilities here to handle
this type of work, and the expense

with Hitler
Well informed quarters under
stood that Hitler was insisting upon
the removal of Victor Kienboeck,
governor of the National Bank OF
Austria and former finance minis
ter. The failure of trade negotia-
tions. which were broken off sud-
denly Monday, was ascribed to
Kienboeck's opposition to extension
OF further credit facilities for Au-
German trade.
Kienboeck also objected to Au-
strias participation in Germanys
four year plan for economic self
sufficiency, which is among the
major German demands. There
fore. it was understood in well in
formed quarters Hitler insisted that
a pro-Nazi be appointed to replace
Kienboeck, who is a staunch left
wing Christian socialist.
An impasse also was understood
to have reached in connection with
the press and propaganda office.
The present chief, Walter Adam,
former army colonel. is unpopular in
Germany because of his past record
as a violent anti-Nazi. 1t was un-
derstood that Schuschnigg is not
willing to drop Adam but may ap-
point a Nazi as assistant director
OF the office.
With these developments observ-
ers connected the sudden departure
Of Seyss- -Inquart for Berlin last
