Ask Permits
For Students
At Stov;a'lll

Permission to send some Is school
children who normally attend the
Dabney high school to the StoVall
school in Granville county has been
sought by a number Of parents IN
the northwestern part of the county,
it was learned today. The Dabney
school has not opened for the fall
term because of litigation over VINO
shall be the principal.
Following failure of the Dabney
school to open, delegation of Vance
county parents appeared before r.
r. Perkins, principal OF Stovall
school, and B. d. Bum, Granville
county superintendent, seeking per-
mission for the children to attend the
Stovall school. These parents reside
in territory only about four miles
from the Stovall school, and assured
the Granville authorities they would
provide their own transportation.
The Granville scAool men said the
request must first be approved by
the State School Commission. Mr.
Bum indicated, however, that fac
iltes at Stovall were adequate to
receive the children should approval
be given by the State authorities.
The county line no longer makes
great deal of difference, since all
schools now are supported by the
State, and in a great many instances
children now already cross county
lines to attend classes.

These developments occurred on

A japanese military patrol with

difficulties and indignities they are
being made to suffer"
Lord Halifax pledged that the
government would make "every

The British consulate general dis

Neutrality Bill
Given Right Of Way
In House Next Week
Debate Limited to 10
Hours in Two Days;
6. o. P. Maps Fight
BY the Associated Press.

The administration neutrality
bill was given right of way in the
House today and will be debated by
that body next week, starting either
Monday or Tuesday.
The Rules Committee voted unan-
imously to give the measure pre-
ferred status on the legislative cal
endar, and limited debate to 10
hours, with the further limitation
that the 10 hours must be con-
cluded within two days.
Meanwhile, House Republicans
indicated they would attempt to
strike from the bill the provision
letting the President define areas
of combat operations from which
American vessels and citizens could
be barred.
This provision has been de-
scribed by Representative Fish of
New York, ranking Republican on
the Foreign Affairs Committee, as
delegating more power than any
President ever has had in cases of
foreign conflict.
Representative Fish and other
members OF his party contend it
would permit the Executive to say
that waters surrounding one coun-
try in a conflict would be barred to
American shipping, whereas waters
OF the other side might be declared
open.
Republican members of the For
eign Affairs Committee met yes
terday with Representative Mar
tin of Massachusetts,, their party
leader, and the Republican House
Policy Committee to 60 over the bill.
Representative Martin said no de-
cision was reached as to concerted
action when the legislation reaches
the floor, but another member who
attended the meeting said lit was
almost positive" that the Repub-
licans would try to eliminate the
combat area clause.
Otherwise, he said, there was a
wide divergence of opinion among
Republicans on the bill, which would
repeal the automatic embargo on
shipments of arms and munitions to
belligerents.
Assistant Democratic whips, mean
while, were engaged in canvassing
the majority membership on the
legislation. Democratic members
from New York were called into
session today to discuss the measure,
so the House leadership could obtain
an idea of how many votes can be
counted for the bill from that State.
