Chamberlain
Says Europe
Is Confident
Britain's Newly Re-
gained p ow er Is
Spreading Faith in
Peace, Prime Minister
Says in Supporting
Candidate.

London, July 2O.-(AP)-
Prime Minister Chamberlain
asserted today "there is every
indication that Britain's newly
regained power is restoring
confidence to Europe, and in
those countries which desire to
live in peace and security"
He expressed this optimistic view
of the International picture in a
letter urging voters to support Cecil
Pike, government candidate for a
seat in Parliament in the Colne bye
elecion.
"The ma tional government
Chamberlain said, ''has made it
clear to the world that it is resolute-
ly opposed to any attempt to i'm
pose settlement of international dis
puteS by force. While we believe
that there are no problems which
could not be solved by peaceful
means, we shall not finch from any
steps which may be necessary to
carry out our solemn pledges to re-
sist aggression.
"Our armament program, under
which our defenses have attained a
high standard of strength and eff
cheney, has no aggressive design. Its
object is to safeguard our interests
and those of the empire, to aid our
allies and to play Our part effec-
lively in preventing war;

Washington, July 2O.-(AP}
The House ordered today a
sweeping investigation of the
National L abOr Relations
Board.
A resolution creating a five
man investigating committee
was put through by an almost
solid phalanx of Republicans
and a large group of Demo-
Gratis.
Speaker Bankhead announ-
ced the roll call vote for the
resolution was 252 to 1876.
The measure, by Representative
Smith, Democrat, Virginia, calls
for an inquiry to determine wheth-
er a new board to administer the
Wagner labor act should be created
and what effect the board may
have had on employer and labor
relations.
Sponsors claimed the inquiry was
necessary to meet tremendous
pressure from all parts - OF the
country, while opponents asked
that action be deferred until labor
committees of both the Senate and
House could conclude their hearings
on Wagner act amendments and
make recommendations of their
own.

sh-Danzig Tension Grows
In Killing OF Polish Trooper
Versions of Incident
From Opposite Sides
of Border Vary Great
ly; Poles Call Shoot
ing An "Inexcusable
Provocation".

Free City of Danzig, July 90
(AP)-The killing of a Polish SOL
dier near the DanZig frontier viii
lage of Postelau this forenoon sud-
denly increased tension between the
free city and Poland.
Poles charged that the Polish SOL
dier, V, BudzieWicz, was shot by
Danzig border official on Polish soil.
Free city authorities said the Danzig
customs officer, Max Sein, had fired
in self-defense.
Officials told widely differing
stories of the incident, which Great
ed great excitement at the office of
the Polish commissioner in Danzig.
The account of authorities of the
Nazified Danzig government was that
Stein, while patroling near the Polish
Danzig frontier, saw a man on a
bicycle riding from Poland with a
rifle slung over his shoulder. At the
border, Danzigers said,. the man dis
mounted, raised the rifle to his
shoulder and released the safety
catch as he aimed at the Danzig Of
ficial. Stein asserted he shot the Pole
in self-defense.
Danzig authorities said they were
not certain the Pole was dead, but
the Polish commissioners office re-
ported the Pole died a few minutes
after he collapsed at the frontier
The Polish version was that Dan
zig customs officer and two men in
Danzig storm troopers uniforms ap-
preached the border and, without
warning, shot the Pole, who was sew
eral yards within the Polish side.
Poles described the incident as Gin
excusable provocatiOn."

Diversion Is
Now Fact, But
Overlook 1t!
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, July 2O-Though not
nearly SO large in dollars and cents
as the much mooted "diverSiOn OF
highway funds, the alleged diver
sion Of hunting and fishing license
receipts to fire prevention has stir
red up almost as big storm. AL us
recent meeting at Morehead City the
State Board of Conservation and De-
VelOpment ordered that ten per cent
OF the license receipts be used for
fire prevention in the forestry dl-
vision.
Sportsmen, hunters and fishermen
yelled bloody murder. They paid the
license fee money for game protec-
ton, for restocking streams with
fish and for promoting hunting and
1Ishlng sports. Their attitude was to
let lumbermen and land owners pro-
tect their forests.
BY way Of combating this kind OF
argument, as we'll as in justification
o1 the action of the board, the con-
SerVatlon department comes forward
with an explanation of the 'diver-
sion" 1t isn't diversion at all, to hear
them tell it. The opening paragraph
OF the explanation states that:
In order to protect the wildlife in
the forests more adequately from
forest fires, the Board of Conserva-
ton and Development at its recent
meeting at Morehead City decided to
use up to ten per cent of game funds
1or this purpose"
Department officials, however, dc
not believe that it will be necessary
to use the full ten per cent. They
think $4,000 will be ample. And the
use of this amount is justified or

Raleigh, July 2O.-(AP)-Dud-

leigh, today was reelected chair
man and director of the North
Carolina Rural iElectrificatiOn Au-
thOrity.
DIR. Jane S. McKimmOn, of
North Carolina State College, was

and David S. Weaver, of the col
Iege, was reelected secretary. j.
Nj. Granger, engineer, was re-

ton in July, 1885.
The authority approved the appli-
cation of the Pitt-Greene Electric

600 loan to extend Greene county
lines by about 80 miles; a request
for a $1O1 900 loan for the Randolph
Electric Membership Corporation
and the charter OF the Four-County

G. O.P. Candidate May Be
''Buffer'' For Democrat

In this connection 1880 is recalled.
There wasn't a governor to be elect
ed that year, but there was United
States senator to be elected. And
there has not been hotter campaign
in which personal feeling was as evi-
dent as that gargantuan contest be-
tween Furnifold McLendon Simmons
and Josiah William Bailey. Senator
Simmons had jumped the reservation
in 1923 and refused to go along with
AL Smith. Mr.. Bailey was a Smith
lieutenant in '28. When 1880 loomed,
Mr.. Bailey announced that somebody
had to run against Simmons. That
somebody turned out to be Mr..
Bailey himself.
AS the campaign progressed, it be-
came evident that many died-in- the
wool Republicans were going to get
into the Democratic primary and
vote for Senator Simmons. The sit
uation looked bad enough for Bailey
without Republican complications.

pared with 20 killed in June,
1888, the highway safety division
reported today. However, the total
number killed and injured last
month was 28 less than a year
ago.
Last months injured toll was
$50, compared with 621 hurt in
June, 1888, Ronald HOcutt, direc-
tor of the division, said. The in
crease in those killed last month,
he said, may be partially account
ed for by two deaths occurring
in June which resulted from in
juries sustained earlier in the
year. HOcutt listed also a fatality
fesunlting from WindstOrm when
tree fell across the cab of a
truck, and the evident increased
occupancy of automobiles.

Lansing, Mich, July 2O.-(AP)-
Governor Luren Dickinson suggested
in a radio address last night that
temperate use of liquor by women
at "high life" party in New York
might have been the result of for
mula proclaimed just before the end
of prohibition by Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt
The governor did not mention Mrs.
Roosevelt in his radio address, mere
ly referring to "a prominent lady OF
our nation,'' but he told newsmen as
he handed them texts of his address
that sthe prominent lady" was the
wife of the President.
Discussing his previous attack on
the party, which he attended at the
national conference of governors,
Dickinson, longtime prohibition
advocate, declared: "These ladies and

Gloucester, Mass, July 20.-I am
glad that we have had the WPA
strike. I have felt right along that
it would take some sensational cpl
sode such as this to bring the govern
ment to its senses on the labor issue.
We could never have solved our un-
employment problems so long as the
old WPA wage rates were in exis-
tence. Hence, President Roosevelt is
to be congratulated on his action. The
labor situation is like boil that can
