In Huntsville


Huntsville, S. c., Nov. 28.-(AFD-
David Robert Coker, SO, noted agri-
culturalist and capitalist, and son-in-
law of Secretary Of Commerce Daniel

his home here. He had been in fail
ing health for two years.

ginator of staple cotton varieties

men to do our actual fighting, if any.
Their judgment is that we could train
stable forces of soldiers and sailors
into creditable shape pretty rapidly.
Authorities like Gen. Malin Craig
seem to think we could lick an army's
personnel into fairly serviceable form
in a matter of months, but not neces-
sarily more than that Educating sea-
men would take longer than that, for
their duties are more highly technical.
Fliers' stunts are still more so.
Still, potential out-and-out scrappers
are not the gentry we are essentially
shy on.
What we need and haven't got, ac-
cording to such experts as Assistant
Secretary of War Louis Johnson and
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison (who really are the
respective heads of the war and navy
departments), is an adequate back
ground of skilled mechanics to keep
the front-liners supplied with a suf-
ficient equipment to kill the enemy
efficiently.

According to the terms of the
amendment, it will be in full force

of it's filing with Mr.. Eure.
So far, nobody knows who Will be
beneficiaries of the extension OF term,
but at least one incumbent sheriff,
who was beaten as far back as the
primaries this year, has announced
his intention to stay in office until
thew put him out-they meaning the
S,lprenne Court of North Carolina.
The chap who will try to take adj
vantage of the ambiguous situation
is sheriff Jasper Russ, of Brunswick
county. who was defeated for the
Democratic nomination last June by
Dillon Gainey, successful candidate in
the general election.
Russ will contend that the full
forca and effect from and after the
d.tosf IF certification' means that
those sheriffs now in office are en-
titled TO serve two more years
There will be numerous arguments
in rebuttal, among them that the con

Speedy Appeasement

Paris, Nov. 3d. (AP) - The
Daia-dier governments campaign
today opened gaps in labor lines
drawn up for a 24-hOur strike
Wednesday.
Labor Minister Charles Pamaret
announced he had received asstr-
anceS that department stores,
banks and insurance companies
all would remain open despite the
strike call issued by the General
Confederation of Labor Indepen-
dent unions, including the General
Federation of Christian Workers,
also proclaimed opposition to the
strike, called to protect Premier
Daladier's labOr-finance proposals.
The unions determination TO strike
and the governments insistence that
public services be maintained aroused
widespread apprehension. Appeals
were made to both sides to avoid any
dangerous action.
Daladier has been given decree au-
thority to mobilize railroad workers;
in effect, to place them under army
discipline and subject them to penal
ties, but he has not put his power
into force.
Paris, Nov. 28,-(AP)-French war
veterans appealed to Premier Dala-
der and the labor unions today to
compromise differences and avert a
general strike
The National Confederation of War
Veterans, representing 100000 mem
bers, called on Daladier to seek all
means of calming the nations emo
tons and of appeasing the social con-
flict"
The labor unions were asked to "re-
consider the danger of general action,
which, pushed to the limit, would
compromise the security of the ma
tion"
Both Daladier and the labor unions,
which are backed by the socialist and
communist parties, went doggedly a
head, however, with plans for and
against the nationwide strike sche-
duled for Wednesday.
Called by the General Confedera-
ton of Labor for a 24-hour period,
the strike would protest against the
governments financial and tax plans,
which labor and the leftist parties de-
clare favor the rich at the expense
of the poor.
Although Daladier was given de-
cree power to mobilize $4,000 rail
road employees into the army to keep
them working, the employees were
ordered by their labor leaders to ire
main deaf and dumb at your posts on
Wednesday,"
The situation this morning in the
industries crippled last week by
strikes was more nearly normal.

 The movement of the fleet was re- garded generally as Britain'S an- swer to the massing Of l,b00,000 soldiers by Germany. France had made her own reply by canceling army leaves, calling up reservists for the Maginot line forts. and taking secret naval action.
 AS the home fleet prepared to take It's station, Admiral Bruno Bri- vonesi, commanding the Italian training ships Amerigo Vespucci and Cristoforo Colombo. now ct Deven- port, received orders to return to Italy ct once instead of continuing Q European cruise. A few days ago Italy cancelled plans for a world cruise for two of It's crack cruisers, the Duca D'Aosta and Eugenio Di Savoia.
 Fear Crisis Grows Worse
 There was no concealing the fact that the government thought that the crisis over the Czschoslovakia minority dispute was going to get worse. The United Press was inc formed on authority believed to he unimpeachable that Sir Neville Hen- dcrson, British ambassador to Ger many. had listened in Berlin while Joachim Won Ribhentrop, Nazi for- eign minister, expressed doubt that Great Britain would fight to sup- port France and that Henderson coldly responded: "Then you are mistaken"
 Germany had given Great Britain private assurances that she would take no over-hasty action as regards Czechoslovakia. But these assur- ances were hinged on the under. standing that there should be a report on the situation by Viscount Runciman. British adviser in tho minority dispute, by rnid"September. For that reason, the proclama- ton of Adolf Hitler today to the an- nual Congress of his Nazi party was regarded as only . preliminary to bigger announcements one, pos- Sibly, next Monday when Hitler makes his concluding Congress speech.
