Baptists End Successful
Session; Public Morals
Reported on

The 62nd annual meeting Of the
Carolina Missionary Baptist asSO-
citation came to close yesterday
afternoon after a session lasting
through two DAYS and one night
with the opinion prevailing that it
was one Of the most successful
gatherings in recent years. The
attendance was unusually good,
and remained SO even through the
last afternoon session. Twenty
one pastors were in attendance
and practically all of the 81
churches belonging to the body
We're represented.
The next annual session will be
held with Mt. Page Baptist church
near SaluUa. This church is now
erecting one of the finest stone
buildings in the association. The
Rev. B. G.. Henry, pastor of the
First church of Trycn and the
Pacolet church, was elected to
preach the convention sermon
next year.
An outstanding message yester-
day was the missionary sermon
preached bv the Rev. b. K. Wall
of Hcndersonville in the absence
of the Rev. j. W. kcsterson, who
could not take his part on the
program due to illness.
The report on Public Morals by
the Rev. n. A. Melton probably
brought on more discussion from
the floor than any other message
before the convention. The BODY
passed resolution requesting the
publication of this report. which
follows:
THE moral conditions within
the territory covered by the Caro-
lima association are far from sat
isfactory. This fact is quite evil
dent from several sources of in
formation. General observation III
both rural and urban communities
in all parts Of Henderson and ad-
Joining counties, reports by radio
and public press, and the records
of our courts, both city and coun-
ty, all these and other things
force upon US the conviction that
the general moral conditions are
bad
ut should be no comfort to US
that other parts Of our state and
nation have equally bad morals.

RALEIGH, Aug. 1.-Two bills
enabling the state and Sub-dlVl-
SiOnS to participate in the federal
government PWA program were
passed by the lower house Of the
general assembly and sent to the
senate yesterday.
An amendment to the bill to al
low municipalities to issue bonds
to match PWA grants was added
to the measure and requires Ger
tificates of convenience and ne
cessity for electric or gas systems
to be constructed.
AS originally introduced, the
bill contained this clause, which
also applied to water and sewage
systems. Action of the house in
retaining the clause for electric
and gas systems practically as
sureS passage of the bill in the
senate, which, at the last session,
killed 4 similar measure without
the necessity and convenience
clause.
The amendment a. finally
adopted precipitated d heated ar

GERMAN PLANE
NEARS N. Y. ON
NON STOP HOP
Took Off in Germany al
2:53 P. M. Wednesday,
Eastern Daylight Time
FIRST TEST FOR NEW
DAILY SEA SERVICE

NEW YORK, Aug. II. (UP)-
The German monoplane Brandon
burg today sped toward Floyd
Bennett airport on record nom
stop flight from Berlin to New
York.
1t was the first westward un-
dertaking Of the 3,9O0-mile course
which the late Wiley Post cover
ed in "a hours as minutes in his
New York to Berlin flight in 1888.
Sponsored by Deutsche Luft-
hansa, the flight was to test the
feasibility of a 24-hour mail and
passenger service between the
two cities across the Atlantic.
The craft is designed to carry
26 passengers but took neither
mail nor cargo on its test trip.
The big four-motored German
monoplane turned the corner of
Newfoundland coast today on a
nonstop flight from Stalker Air
drome, Germany, to New York
City after u secret take-off yes
terday.
1t was not until this afternoon
lin Berlin) when the plane had
been in the air for Is hours, that
flight intended to show Ameri-
cans the efficiency of Nazi avia-
ton was announced.
For weeks while the four-en-
gined Focke-W ulff plane Of Con
dor type was being groomed at
Stalker airport, officials denied
stoutly that a New York flight
was intended. Every effort was
made to keep information from
leaking.
But today, as the plane neared
Newfoundland with prospects of
being in New York this afternoon,
its trail blazing flight was admit
ted first by the official German
news bureau, then by the air min
iStry.
1t was 8:05 Il. m. Eastern Day
light time (l05 p. m. Berlin time)
when the German news agency
announced that the plane had left
Stalker airport at 2:53 p. m.
(EDT) yesterday-7:53 p. m.
Berlin time.
In the first announcement, the
agency said that the plane even
then was over Newfoundland. The
news was received after the plane
had reported that at GIG a. m.
EDIT it was at 53.05 north lati-
tude, 44:45 west longitude. about
$50 miles northeast of Cape
Race, Newfoundland.
Capt. Alfred Henke and Capt.
Rudolph Won Moreau, co-pilots Of
the plane, reported that flying
weather was excellent and that
they were flying at 1000 meters
$3.50 feet).
Then the air ministry admitted
the flight and its first announce
ment said that the plane would
continue on from Newfoundland
to New York without stop. This
is the first attempt to fly non
stop via the great circle route
from Germany to New York.
Foggy weather and poor visible
ity made it unlikely the plane
would be sighted as it flew over
the Nova Scotia coast.
Officials at Floyd Bennett air
port were prepared to receive the
monoplane, named the Braden-
burg, within 20 to rs hours after
its takeoff.

IL. (UP)-President Roosevelt
last night stood squarely against
the denomination of Senator Wal

openly carried forward his
