London, August 1.-(AP)- The
British cabinet will remain within
easy call of Prime Minister Cham
berlain throughout Parliament's Au-
gust-September danger" holiday.
Taking their cue from the prime
minister's dark but still hopeful view
of the international picture, the min
listers, for the most part, have decid
ed to spend their vacations at nearby
country homes or on short trips.
Britain's discussion of the Far
Eastern situation with Japan and
negotiations for a British-French-
Soviet pact are expected to keep
both the prime minister and Foreign
Secretary Lord Halifax close to their
offices after the scheduled recess, be-
ginning Friday.
Chamberlain has made 10 vaca-

Gray Mouse
Set Friday

Raleigh, Aug. 1.-(AP)-Arthul'
Morris, 24-year-old Negro who be-
came known as the gray mouse" and
"the eel' during a career in burglary,
which ended in a sentence of death,
said today he had never hurt any
body, and would have run if dis
covered in a home.
Morris is scheduled to be executed
Friday. Governor Hoey is studying
the case. He was convicted of first
degree burglary of the home of DR..
w. B. Dewar here.
Raleigh police have about SO bur-
glary charges pending against Nor
ris,' and in Durham he was sentenced
in February, 1888, to so to 80 years
for robberies. The DeWar case was
pending at the time of the Durham
conviction. Morris escaped four
months after entering prison, and,
after he was caught in Henderson,
he was tried in the capital case and
convicted.
Attorneys for Morris contend he is
a harmless kleptomaniac.

Kupinec, Yugoslavia, Aug. l.
(AP)- Charging interference by the
belgrade clique, threatening home
rule aspirations Of his people, DR.. V.
Machek, the Croatian leader, declar-
ed today that Croatia would secede
from Yugoslavia unless his autonomy
demands were met.
To the question "Won't that mean
revolution?" the peasant leader an
sWered, ''It will mean more; it will
probably mean world war"
Asked how he believed an indie
pendent Croatia with 100000 in
habitants could live apart from the
Serbs, he leader acknowledged there
probably would be a protectorate
over the Croats. Yugoslavia's total
estimated population is 15,630,000.
AS for Germany, bordering Yugo-
slavia on the northwest since the an
nexation of Austria, Machek said:
Cali right, Germany then; let her
come and make order. Some one
must make order in Yugoslavia If
Belgrade cannot make order in Yugo-
Slavia, Germany can"
The 60-year-old leader declared,
"there is an analogy in our situa-
ton and that o-ssSCzechoslovakia'
He remarked that "the same ele-
ments are present in both states. 1

May Drop Housing
Bill, Too.

Washington, August T.
(AP)-The House refused to-
day to consider the admins
tration's $1,95O,OOO,OOO lend
ing bill, a decision which some
members said killed the
measure for the session.
The vote was 1913 against
consideration to 166 in favor.
A coalition of Democrats
and Republicans successfully
fought adoption of a resolution
setting forth procedure for for
NAL consideration of the bill.
Already passed by the Senate
in a somewhat different form.
Refusal of the House to con-
slider the measure came over the
vehement opposition of Majority
Leader Rayburn, Democrat, Texas,
against such arbitrary action.
Whether the leadership would at
tempt consideration through other
parliamentary tactics was not i'm
mediately known.
The shattering blow the admins
tration suffered on the lending bill

Washington, August l.
(AP)LThe Senate acted quick

tobacco growers in southern
states an opportunity to hold
an immediate farmer election
on invoking marketing quotas
on their 1910 sales. 1t approved
without debate and sent to the
White House amendments to
the 1888 farm act which would
authorize Secretary Wallace to
call a referendum at any time
during the marketing season,
instead of waiting until No
vember Is, as provided in the
present law.
Marketing of flue--cured tobacco
started last week in Georgia and
Florida, and begins Thursday in
South Carolina and a few North Car
olina markets.
Tobacco growers, meeting here yes
terday, expressed belief an early re-
ferendum would help bolster prices
on the Georgia markets.
Flue-cured growers, in an election
last winter, rejected imposition of
marketing quotas on their 1889 crop,
the largest on record.
The amendments also would
change the basis for sales quotas for
selling in excess of allotments from
three to ten cents a pound.
