BY THOMAS J. B. WIENER NEA SneciaI CnrreSnnnde,,t

In the game of totalitarian pene- tration of South and Central Amer ica, the ball has been adroitly passed by the Germans and Italians to the Spaniards, who are now carrying it in an effort to make gains by a sneak through center" after gen. eral failure of German forward passes and Italian end runs.
 In other woros, the imperial ambitions of Fascist Spain to re- store Spanish predominance in Latin America are now perhaps more nenacing to Pan American ism than the much-vaunted pen etration by Nazis and Blackshirts.
 Mounting dislike of Na1 meth ods both in Europe and in Amer ica and collapse of Italian prestige, have made this lateral pass" nec- essary. For Spain has certain ad- vantageS in the Latin countries which make it natural ball-car- rier for the axis.
 In Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominicanf Republic, and also in Mexico and most other Latin countries, the Falange Espagnola has redoubled the activities which began as soon as the Germans and Italians had helped Franco to vic- tory in Spain. The Falange Ex- terior is the Spanish organization for penetration in foreign coun- tries, and it's best-known leader is Ramon Serrano Suner, Franco's brother-in-law
 AIM AT
 POWER"-SUNER
 In every Latin country there is a minority of powerful persons: natural conservatives or reaction aries, descendants of the old Spanish aristocracy, business men

DECEMBER

The December sun is cold and bleak Frozen the lake and creek, Snowflakes scurry through the air, Fathers wearing his winter underwear The December sets pale and cold Bundle up"-the children are told, ., Be good and don't make too much noise If you expect to get any Christmas toys December days of a sudden end, You can't see far beyond the bend, Until it's dark and crescent moon Lightens up the twilight gloom. December brings the shortest days, Weary crowds go about in daze, Buying stuff for Christmas trees Trying hard not to cough and Sneeze As the December cold gets into their bones And the icy north wind moans. The December is cold and bleak, Frozen over are lake and creek.

r. H. Nye And L. C. Meares
Of Lumberton, Appeal To
U. S. Circuit Court

DURHAM, Feb. 8. - Up - Two
Lumberton men, r. H. Nye and L.
c. Meares, were held in contempt of
court here today by Federal Judge
johnson J. Hayes for attempting to
persuade W. H. Gilmore, Of Conway,
s. c., to drop a $780, 900 suit against
the B. c. Remedy company Of Dur
ham.
Nye was fined $500 and ordered to
pay $500 counsel fees to w. B. Guth.
RE, Of Durham, attorney for Elmore.
Meares was fined $3.50. Nye also vas
taxed with the costs. Both men ap-
pealed to the United States circuit
court.
Gilmore brought the damage action
in March, 1899, contending that the
taking Of B. c. headache powders
had contributed to the death Of his
son, James Gilmore. On April 10
Gilmore mailed letters to Judge
Hayes at Greensboro and to Guthrie
requesting dismissal Of the suit.
Nye said at a hearing in Green's
boro on July 20 that he had employ
ed a Lumberton attorney, W. E.
Undertake, Jr., to prepare the pa.
pers later signed by Gilmore request
ing dismissal Of the action.
Meares testified here last Septem.
Der that he went to Elmore's home
near Conway, S. c., and told the
South Carolina man Nye wanted him
to come to Lumberton for confer
ence.
Gilmore alleged that Meares piled
him with whisky before they set out
for Lumberton and that he spent
that night at Nye's home. Early
the next morning, while he allegedly
was still groggy from the intoxi-
cants, Gilmore said Nye got him to
sign the letters.
Judge Hayes found as a fact that
Meares did furnish Elmore with H.
quor and that while he was not in
toxicated when he signed the letters
"he was completely under the con-
troll and Nominations of Meares and
Nye."
Nye testified at a bearing here
last December that his daughter had
married the son Of c. T. Council of
Durham, one Of the partners in the
B. c. Remedy company, and was in
terested in doing what he could to
get the suit stopped. He denied re-
sorting to any illegal means to &C.
complish this purpose.
The suit is scheduled to be tried
at a special term Of federal court
here next month.
