Germans Get Good
Result In Campaign

plane motor factories was reported
today to have been put out of action
by bombs from British or French
planes, staging a raid on the Zep-
pelin works at Friedrichshafen, Ger
many, last night.
(The German high command, a
dispatch from Berlin said, flatly de-
MED that there had been any air
raid on Friedrichshafen.)
The first alarm in the area OF the
Zeppelin works, five miles across
Lake Constance from here, started
searchlights sweeping the skies at
8:15 p. M, and number of anti-air-
craft batteries on the German side
opened fire. Explosions of a few
bombs could be heard here.
The main part of the raid appar-
emily came when a second alarm was
sounded at II p. m. Military obser-
vers on the Swiss side, judging by
the dull roars heard here, estimated
that at least 80 bombs were dropped
by the raiders, despite heavy anti
aircraft fire, which included tracer
bullets.
Reports reaching here said sew
eral direct hits on the factory were
scored, but because the border was
closed these could not be confirmed

the result of a truce of no great con-
sequence.
The fact remains that said hos
tilities are suspended. Even before
their suspension Russia had begun
to take such an interest in doings on
its western border that Dictator
Stain may imaginably have been
anxious to get the Japanese off his
hands to the eastward. Also, the truce
having been arranged, it's note
worthy that the Japs Immediately
and emphatically intensified their
campaign to conquer China. They
were hampered in this campaign
while their undeclared war with the
Russians lasted.
The essential point, from the Am
erican angle, is that the millado ap-
pears materially to have improved
his chances of gaining complete con-
troll on the eastern Asiatic mainland,
south of Siberia-and possibly he has
it in the back of his head to grab

Bal as a Kaleidoscope.
It's no secret that Tokyo wants to
drive Occidentals out of China pro-
per.
The Chinese object-not neces-
sarily because they're pro-Occiden-
tai, but because they're opposed to
being gobbled by Nippon, and most
Occidentals, for their own selfish
reasons, likewise prefer not to have
Nippon gobble them.
Consequently, when the Japs un-
dertook to assimilate them, the Chi
nese had the sympathy of Americans.
British, French and Russians. The
Dutch and Portuguese sympathized,
too, but they're too pewee to signify.
For that matter, sympathy's the only
thing Americans have helped the
mainlanders with thus far.
Britain and France, however, have
aided them with military supplies,
shipped in through such backdoors
as Hongkong and French Indo-China.
Now, though, the British and French
are too busy in the west to keep
their rear doors open. Furthermore,
they need all their supplies for Eu-
rOpean consumption.
Russia has been of still more solid
assistance to Chang Kai-shek's Chi
nese government. The Russians not
only have provided Chang with
fighting materials; they're waged
physical war against the Japs on the
Mongolian-M -Manchukuoan line, pre-
venting the latter from concentrat-
ing against Chang in a southerly
direction
Then came the Russo-German pact
relieving Stain of any urgent wor-
ries on his west front The conclusion
seemed to be that he was thus left
free to deal whole heartedly with the
Japs to the eastward, greatly to
Chinas benefit.
Today, instead, it develops that
Russia is concerned rather with the
west than the east-it wants chunk
of Poland more than it wishes to
dominate China.

The bulletin follows:
''The tobacco farmers OF the State

mediately the whole problem be-
came more serious, since a large
amount of tobacco is purchased an

tobacco averaging less than parity
while all agencies were buying on
the market, it was realized that
the prospects for maintaining even

tude of the British companies was
endangered. Consequently, the

is a doubt, to say the least, about
constitutiOnality Of this sort of do
ings.
The attorney generals office, quite
naturally none too quick to stick it's
neck out when there's doubt about
a law, has recently declined to rule
on the matter, contenting itself with
pointing out that traffic bureaus,
specifically the one in Raleigh, are
set up under the general police power
for the regulation of traffic. The
opinion was quick to go a bit further,
however, and assert with great clarity
that no offender can be compelled to
pay dollar to the law enforcement
officers benefit fund unless and un-
til found guilty in a court of law.
''This office would not care to rule
on the cOnstitutionality Of a traffic
bureau to which persons accused of
violating parking ordinances may
pay fine of 81 without the necessity
of being tried and taxed the costs,'
the attorney general wrote Miss Susie
Sharp. i asxF
"The Raleigh traffic bureau, how
ever, is set up under the general
police power for the regulation of
traffic. You would not have to pay
a dollar to the law enforcement Of
ficers' benefit fund, as Sec. 9, Chap
ter 349, Public Laws of 1887, pro-,
vides that the dollar shall be paid

lima, of Walter F. George of Georgia.
Senators Glass and Byrd have been
opponents of the Presidents pet
legislative measures, and further
more, they have been outand-out
critics Of his spending policy.
1t was foregone conclusion that
when the veteran Carter Glass rose
up and denounced the Roberts ap-
pointment - obnoxious to him the
President Wis not likely to get Judge
Roberts confirmed Particularly
when Senator Byrd chimed in with
a similar statement. BY disregard
ing the recommendations of the
Virginia Senators, it apparently was
and is the Presidents intention
to break down the power and in
fluence of those Senators In their,
State Senator Glass, at hearing
before the judiciary Committee on
the Roberts nomination last week,
charged that the President was seek
ing to turn over to Gov. Price the
Federal patronage of the State,
denying patronage to the Senators.
Proved Another Misfire.
The New Dealers, including the

break down the Democratic organ

Byrd and Glass, which they regard
as inimical to their policies. Up to
date, the New Dealers have not

summer, trying to defeat in the
Democratic primary Representative
Howard w. Smith for denomination
with the son of former Ambassador
Dodd. Smith had opposed Roose-
welt measures in the House and in
the Rules Committee of the House.
The attempt to purge Mr.. Smith
failed miserably. Smith was renom-
mated by a towering majority.
Senator Byrd comes up for re-
nomination and reelection next
year. The President and his sup
porters may undertake drive

On the other hand. they may be up
to their own necks trying to save
something out of the ruck for the
New Deal wing Of the Democratic
party by that time, and thereby
compelled to forego an attack on
Byrd. The die will have been cast,
and the President will have become
a candidate for President and third
term, or he will have decided not to
do so but to support liberal to his
liking.
The President announced last
week that If the Senate turned down
Judge Roberts he would write the

such letter against the Virginia

in the Times-Picayune, one OF the

Message to the President:
"Your Excellency: Word comes to
us from Washington that the De-
partment of Justice has approved

Lest your excellency be misled in

"In the fall election of 1882, the
returns from New Orleans precincts

Of Orleans parish launched a grand

the district attorney to drop the

took the matter under charge of

1t so happens in this case that the
nominee had the backing of the
entire political organization Of the
State of Louisiana, which is the
same Democratic organization that
Huey Long once dominated. So, in
effect, the senatorial courtesy"
rule works to the extent also that a
nominee for a Federal judgeship
who is not obnoxious to the memory
Of the late Senator Huey Long gets
the full approval of the United
States Senate. Clearly there Is
need for a new method of select
ing Federal judges so that it can be
divorced from presidential and
senatorial politics, and as pointed
out in these dispatches, the way out
may be law fostered by public
opinion that Federal judges be Sc
lected through the courts of law and
without regard to political backing.
