Pittsburgh, June 15.-(AP)-Offi-
Gals of the Pennsylvania-Central Air
Lines prepared today for detailed
study of facilities along proposed
new air route from Norfolk, Va, to
Knoxville, Tenn.
C. B. Monro, air line president, said
a survey flight was part of the COM
pany's expansion program. The COM
pany just completed preliminary
survey of a proposed route from
Pittsburgh to Birmingham, Ala, and
Atlanta, Ca, by way of Knoxville

The Norfolk Knoxville route,
which would include stops at Eliza

Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Hickory
and Asheville, N. c., will be surveyed
in a standard Boeing 247-D transport
carrying a large group Of air line
officials, Monro said.
Stops will be made at each of the
intermediate terminal points.
In addition to interviewing local
civic organizations and local airport
executives, the company officials will
consider such details as the amount
of personnel that would be required
to staff each new Pennsylvania
Central air line station. Monro said
local labor would be utilized.

Excess Rain
Is Damaging
For Tobacco

College Station, Raleigh, June Is.
"A wet June is very unfaVOrable
to the growth of good quality tobac-
CO, and the crop in many sections of
the State will be damaged as the re-
suit of recent heavy rains, it was re-
ported today by L. T. Weeks, to-
bacco specialist of the State College
Extension Service. He explained that
excess moisture at this season stunts
tobacco, causing it to turn yellow and
be hard in appearance.
Weeks said that the physical con-
dition of some soils is helping the to-
bacco to endure the wet weather with
out any severe damage, but lighter
soils cake and allow the root sys-
TENS to absorb too much moisture.
He said the condition can be lar
gely overcome by using d method of
cultivation which pushes soil around
the stalk and at the same time
breaks the middle of the rows, al
lowing full root development
at is very essential to scatter the
middle each time the tobacco is sid

Of the best methods of doing this is
to use a one-horse turn ploW with
a second size mold board (wing) and
sactter the middle with two burrows.
GA pillow should be used that will
throw the soil up around the plant
without disturbing the root system.
A one-horse pillow is decidedly the
best for this. The attachment of a
sweep about 10 inches long and about
70 f0 a hO
of the pillow stock with the same bolt
that holds the mold board, will push
the soil to the stalks without damag
ing the leaves, and at the same time

Hanover.
The average rate to the same class
of customers of 10 municipalities, re-
presenting all sections of the State

The municipalities are Greenville,

1t is quite possible that the aver
ages and other figures for this NUM-
cipal group are not truly representa-
tive of present rates because of the
fact that the municipal plants are
not subject to regulation or control
by the Utilities Commission. For this
reason, it is possible that the last

not now in effect, and the figures in

Joint Front
Against Japs
London Aim
More Far Reaching
Demands by Japan for
c ontrol of Orient
Looked for; Chamber
lain Tells Commons
Situation Is Grave One

London. June 15.-(AP)-
Prime Minister Chamberlain
today indicated the possibility
of seeking joint action by Ber-
lin, France and the United
States if Japan used the Tent
sin incident for more far-reach-
ing demands against foreign in
terestS in China. He told the
House of Commons that Japa-
nese spokesman at Tientsin had
said that the object of Japan's
blockade of the British and
French concessions was to OBJ
tain "a much wider form of CO.
operation from British authori-
ties in China"
cit is clear" the prime minister
continued, "that if this statement
represents the views of authorities
in Tokyo, the Japanese are using the
incident to make demands wider
and more far-reaching than the
handing over of the four men,"
Chamberlain referred to JapanS
earlier demand for delivery to Japa-
nese authorities of four Chinese &C
cused of killing a Tientsin official,
and now detained in the British con-
cession there. British rejection of
this demand led to the imposition
Of the blockade early Wednesday.
"Such demands" Chamberlain con
tinued, ''would raise important ques-
tons of policy in which other great
powers are concerned, no less than
this country, and the closest touch is
being maintained with the French
and United States governments.
"In the meantime, the British
government are considering the sit
uation created by the refusal of the
Japanese to accept proposal for a
committee Of inquiry and by con-
tinuance of the blockade of the set
Element"
Chamberlain said the situation
was "obviously a grave one" but
added that 81 am not prepared at
this moment to say what action we
shall decide to take"
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-06-15

as saying that the purpose of the
blockade was to "bring the (Kulang-
SUP municipal council to its Senses"
with regard to Japanese demands for
a greater hand in control of the set
Element.
Before negotiations were halted
last week by the departure of the
Japanese consul-general from Annoy
for Tokyo, the council announced its
willingness to accept two Of five
Japanese demands, holding that COM
plete acceptance would give Japan
control of the Kulangsu government.
Last month, about the time the Unit
ed States, Britain and France match
ed a Japanese landing party three
to one with their own marines and
bluejackets at Kulangsu, the Japa-
nese halted shipping between XII
langsu and the mainland. However,

man said that Japanese blockade had

Board Vote
By Proxy Is
Frowned On

Raleigh, June 15.-(AP)-The at
torney generals office had a query
today regarding voting by proxy and
decided under certain circumstances
it was not legal.
Assistant Attorney General Robert
w. Wettach said Mrs. Annie E. Full
Ter, of Louisburg, wrote she was a
Franklin County Board Of Education
member. Her board would meet June
80 with the county commissioners to
elect chairman of the county board
of alcoholic control, she said.
She planned to be out of town that
day, she said, and, if permitted, de-
sired to leave her vote in a sealed
envelope to be opened and counted.
Wettach said he was not ruling on
this, but that members of any board
exercising discretionary functions,
had to attend meetings to vote.

Raleigh, June 15.-NOrth Caro-

studying the problem of stretching
$275,00O until it will satisfy groups
which are seeking about ten times
that much. 1t cannot meet all the
needs and requests, that can't be
done even with mirrors.
Wednesdays hearing before the
special teacher salary committee,
headed by DR.. B. B. Dougherty, show
ed that there are five main PROPOSE
tons which must be considered.
Here's the long and short Of the
alternatives before the commission
when it comes time definitely to al
lot the money available. At least
here are the five things it was urged
TO do

tween the salaries now paid white

about 80 per cent under present SAL
airy schedules A group headed by
Dean j. 7. Taylor, of the N. c. Col
lege for Negroes, asked that the ex-
isting differential be reduced by ten
percent. To wipe it out would cost
Sl,500,00O, an obvious impossibility.
(2) To make provision for ninth
experience increment This would re-
quire some 100000, if $40 annual
ly is added to the salary of each
teacher with as much as nine years
experience. Greensboro's Superinten-
dent Of Schools Ben Smith urged this

Shanghai, June 15.-(AP) = The
new struggle over Occidental inter-

by a japanese naval blockade of the
international settlement at Annoy, in
addition to the police blockade Of
British and French concessions at
Tientsin.
At the same time, messages from
foreign sources at HankoW said that
Japanese forces had blockaded Of
fees, warehouses and docks of a
large British shipping firm, refusing
passage to British and Chinese en-
ployees. The concern is located near
the Hanl1oW customs house.
Foreign advices from Annoy said
that three japanese warships had
isolated the island Of Kulangsu which
is the Annoy settlement, halting all

With a soldiers frankness and dip

Surrounded by none of the usual
pomp and gold braid, the 35-year-
old president, who appears even
younger, received me at his office in

ed in plain blue serge suit, with
soft shirt and dark tie.

sary to dismiss the constituent as
sembly, and take all power into his
own hands April "a, President Busch
said: "You know Bolivia and you
can understand it was the only step
left for me. This dictatorship was
not born Of violence, but the result
OF more than two years of painful ex-
perience in government"
"To understand my action, you
must know that politics in my coun-
try was filled with personal inter-
ests and appetities, which gave no
importance to the well-being and
progress of the country"

been made of the fact his father was
a German, but he added: 81 speak no
