Cherokee Tribal
Election Likely
To Affect Road
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 23.-Columns of
space have already been devoted to
North Cardinals gubernatorial cleo
ton, still some nine months off, and
practically none to another election
within the State which is scarcely
two weeks away and which has i'm
portant and far-reaching implica-
tions.
The impending poll is due to be
held September by the Cherokee
Indians, who are to elect chief and
a tribal council, and the importance
of it lies in it's possible effect upon
completion of the Blue Ridge Park
way, great scenic highway which
will eventually connect the Great
Smoky Mountains and the Shenan-
doah National Parks,
For year or moresthe Cherokees,
purportedly influenced by their pre-
sent chief Fred Bauer, have consis-
tently and flatly refused to cede a
right of way for the parkway thro-
ugh their reservation.
Recently they weakened slightly in
their attitude and in more friendly
sort of way offered something re-
Sembllng compromise IN the mat
ter.
Any settlement, however, would
have to be approved by the tribal
council which will be chosen Sep
tember 7, and that's why the cleo
ton is viewed as of importance:
though there is general agreement
that a decided upset of the present
council, or its policies, is only very
remote possibility.
However, there will be a chance tC
negotiate with the new council fo1
settlement The Indians very ten
tatively suggested they might be
willing to grant right OF way from
Soco Gap over the Bunch's Greek
route to Ravensford for $4,000, anc
there is a chance that this route
might prove satisfactory
Granted a conciliatory Indian cour
Gil as the result of the election a set
tlement by negotiation is possibility
otherwise there will be congressional
authority for condemnation.

All the fuss and fury about the
killing of dog in Raleigh started
from campaign against rabies.
In this connection it might not be
amiss to cite State Board of Health
figures showing that there have
been only six deaths in North Caro-

an average of less than two deaths
year.
Which would seem to indicate
there's much more hysteria than
fact as a foundation for perennial

Socialist great Germany. Long live

The first report of firing was from
citizens of 'Gleiwitz, but few miles
from the Polish Silesian border.
They said it was artillery fire.
An almost unbroken line Of pack
wagons, artillery, cavalry, trucks
and infantry was to be seen in the
neighborhood of Gleiwitz.
Hitler Maps Course.
Out of hours of solitary medita-
ton, Adolf Hitler mapped his course
today. During the entire crisis, since
his arrival in Berlin August "a, the
Fuehrer had not left the chancellery
nor had he stepped to the balcony
to greet the crowds thronging in
termittently in the Wilhelmplatz.
The crowds had differed from
those in days past. There had been
no loud "heils" for the Chancellor
nor shouts of I'VE want to see our
Fuehrer." The watchers had been
silent, almost pathetic, waiting for
something to break the strain they
were under.
Night after night the Fuehrer had
conferred or deliberated until 4 am.
In darkness and daylight he sum-
moned advisers, experts and aides,
averaging four hours of sleep each
day.
Last night he was reported to
have entered another period Of soil
tude such as he observed Wednes-
day night after British Ambassador
Sir Neville Henderson presented
Britain's counter questions to his
proposals for a Polish settlement.
No one could see him.
Reports Of Scattered Clashes.
The tense hours preceding Hit
ler's early morning order of the day
for use of force against force" were
marked by reports of scattered
clashes between German border po-
lice and Polish insurgents" in addi-
ton to an attack on the German
radio station at Gleiwitz, in Silesia,
where seven persons were killed.
Two Poles and a German were
killed at Pitschen, about, mile
within the Upper Silesian border,
it was reported by DNB, ofiicial
German news agency, and many |
were wounded when q detachment |
Of German border police clashed
with more than 200 Poles. Fifteen
Poles, including six soldiers, were
captured, DNB said.
Polish insurgents" and soldiers
were reported to have stormed the
customs house at Hochlinden and
the number of casualties was still
undetermined. German border police
were said to have wrested the Gus
toms building from the Poles after
. half-hour hght.
