by the fact that the German pa- pers have resorted to a violent anti-Roosevelt campaign aimed to counteract the effect of his message.
 Gibraltar in Peril
 All State department reports re- gently have indicated extreme pes- simism regarding war, and Am- bassador Bullitt reported from Paris last weekend that war seemed certain in two weeks.
 Ambassador Kennedy went even further. He reported that British Intelligence feared war would break April 20-Hitler's birthday. The British particularly were wor- ried that the German fleet, which eased quietly out of the North Sea the other day for the Spanish coast, would bounce upon Gib- raltar.
 The concentration of Italian and Franco forces, both in Morocco across the Straits of Gibraltar and in Spain behind Gibraltar all in- dicated this.
 For years Gibraltar has been the symbol of British might, the Rock of Empire solidarity, the guaran- tee that Britain still ruled the waves. Its fall would put an end to the British policy of negotiat- ing alliances with the smaller countries of Europe.
 The Germans know this. And the British know it. And finally, the French, who have just as much at stake, know it. That was why part of the French fleet sud- denly dropped anchor off Gibral- tar to bolster its defense.
 This also had a lot to do with the timing of Roosevelt's peace appeal to Hitler and Mussolini. Copyright. 1899, by United Featur

1t seems safe to predict now that
the years sales tax revenue Will
reach 81 100000, as compared with
the original estimate of $9,612,OOC
and a revised estimate last Decem-
Der of $l0,500,000.
Commissioner Maxwell attributes
increased tax collections to better
business trends in North Carolina
He has been in many sections of the
State recently and reports that there
seems an unquestioned pickup al
most everywhere.
He cited improvement in the tex
tile business and unusually fine
sales at High Points Furniture Ex-
position as among concrete exam
Piles of improvement.
He pointed out that the two best
indices of business-sales tax and
gasoline gallonage tax receipts
both moving steadily upward. The
gas tax has increased steadily al
most every month of the current fis-
cal year, while the sales tax collec-
tiOns did a complete about face in
January, since when they have
shown consistent gain as opposed
to a consistent monthly loss for the
first half Of the year.

prises and citizens Of the town, Ben
son has discarded the engines so fal
as using them to generate the cleo
trio power needed and signed ten
year contract with the Carolina Pow
er and Light Company to furnish
power at wholesale for all needs.
Signing of the contract came after
one of the oil engines collapsed on
recent Saturday afternoon and the
town was without electric power fol
about five hours. Only the inter-
vention &C Vle Carolina Power ano
Light Company, whose engineers
tied-in the nearby company lines,
enabled the Johnston County town
to have electric power on Saturday
night-the busiest night in the week
for local merchants
We are very well pleased with the
new arrangements we have made for
electric current and we do not anti
cipate any more trouble such as we
have had in the past" said Mayor j.
Ed johnson. "Citizens of the town
appear to be quite well pleased, also,
with our arrangements to use Caro-
lima Power and Light Company cur
rent"
It is understood that on several oc
casions the oil engines failed to gen
crate the electric power needed for
the town and that as result there
have been several complaints from
those handicapped by failure to get
sufficient current for business or
home needs.
Writing in The Benson Review,
which he has edited and published
for the past q years, J. B. Benton
said in part:
"The mayor and commissioners
are being complimented on every
hand, lat one or two, for their ac-
ton in buying the Carolina current,

ness in furnishing the town with

outlook. because 81 might have to
take it all back and recede from an
announced position" if the Deyton
study shows expenses heavier than
anticipated.
The Maxwell statement of expect
cd revenue was based on reports
which show that June revenue is
likely to be something more than
was estimated even few weeks ago.
Sales tax receipts, the commission
ar said, are holding steady lead of
something like 100000 over last
.TIIne's revenue; and the prospects
now are that the years sales tax
collections will not lag far behind
those for 1937-38, though it is highly
improbable that they will quite
reach the $11.134,333 collected in the
last named year.
Through May sales tax collections
amounted to $1O,058,7 ,759, or ap-
proximately $25O,O00 less than dur

Christmas Bicycle
Death Unavoidable,
Coroner Reports

BRAWLEY, Dec. 30.-A Christ
mas bicycle, twisted and bent be-
yond repair, was blamed for the
death of Arthur Avila, 10, in
traffic accident here last Thurs
day.
The bicycle was the only gift the
boy ever requested of Santa Claus
and he was killed while learning to
ride it, the boys father testified at
an inquest here Friday.
Daniel Avila the father, was rid
ing another bicycle along the street
beside his son when the boys wheel
crashed into the side of a truck
trailer.
The truck driver, Aurelio Caste
NADIA, Calexico, was eXonerated OF

that the boy was killed as result
of an unavoidable accident.

l. v. School Chief
Soys Jury Wrong

f. L. Hiteman, county school Su-
perintendent, Saturday denied the
1889 grand jury's assertion that
school expenses had increased and
quoted records to show they had, on
the contrary, decreased $22,0O6.22
during the last year.
Trustees of elementary schools
in Imperial county this year levied
$l32,5l2 as compared to $148541.71
for the year before. Hiteman said.
High schools also showed a drop
in the levy made this year with
$l66,309 as compared to $l72,285 As
for the year previous.
The tax saving in the elemen-
tary school system in a year was
Sl6029 or almost II per cent" he
said. The high school saving was
$5976.48 or 81 per cent for the
year The total saving to the
county was $22,0O622.
OYercroWded conditions made two
high school building programs nee
eSsary, he declared, and the lowered
levy was made in the face of these
building costs.
The most encouraging phase of

law school, who was designated Spe-'
cial trial examiner by Secretary OF
Labor Frances Perkins, TO hear the
case, has the effect of recommend
ing cancellation of the deportation
warrant issued by the federal i'm
migration service against Bridges
on March ., 1898. The immigration
service had sought to deport Bridges
as an undesirable alien to his native
Australia.
Lands found that the evidence
produced by the government does
not permit the finding that =.
Bridges is either a member of the
Communist party or affiliated with
that party"
Bridges aims, he said, are "ener-
getically radical but the proof
fails to establish that the methods
he seeks to employ to realize them
are other than those that the frame
work Of democratic and constitu-
tional government permits
Miss Perkins can. approve Lands
report and cancel the warrant. or
she can ignore it and order Bridges
deported as an undesirable alien.
Authoritative sources said, however,
that it was unlikely that Miss Per-
kinS would ignore the report. They
pointed out that Lands, personally
selected by Miss Perkins, has an
outstanding reputation as a lawyer,
heads one of the most important
law schools in the country, and was
former chairman of the securities
and exchange commission.
Miss Perkins began reading Lam
dis report today. 1t contains $4,000
words and was written after Lands
nad reviewed 1924 pages of teS-
timony taken during an 11-Week
hearing on Angel Island in San
Francisco bay last summer
Lands made no finding on the

Such a finding was unnecessary,
he said, because he had not found
evidence to establish Bridges men,
bership or affiliation with that par
ty.

political beliefs and disbeliefs is
