PIRATES COP two
FROM BURLINGTON
Win First 6-5 In Added Frame
And Second 4 To 2 With
out Any Trouble

The Pirates took both ends of
double bill from the May Hosiery
Mills nine Of Burlington at Legion
field last night, 6-5 and AZ.
The first encounter was a thrill
er. With the score knotted at the
end Of the scheduled seven inn
ings,, the Burlington boys threat
ened to score but their threat was
nipped. Then Smidt walked, went
second a wild pitch and scored
when Carter raped out a neat
single.
The Burlington boys took a 81
lead in the second, added two more
in the fifth and seemed to have
the game in the bag but in the
seventh the Pirates coupled a hit,
an error, a walk and three
Dagger by Stefano to bring in four
runs and knot the count.
In the nightcap the Pirates took
a tw orun lead in the first stanza
by virtue of a walk, an error, a
stolen base and a hit but Burling-
ton tailed one in the second on
three hits and an error and an
other in the third, on an error
and two hits to tie the score.
But in the fourth Davis hit a
triple, Trogden singled to bring
him in and then scored himself
on a wild pitch to put the game
on ice for the BUGS.
Sunday the Pirates will go to
Whiteville for another game in
thei rseries with the Columbus
county nine and Wednesday night
will meet the Laurinburg nine at
Legion field.

ish they cannot leave the harbor
4'to fall into the power of the Ger
man conquerors of France"
They have been told they will
receive pay equal to British Off
GERS and seamen if they will con-
tinue the war.
They have been given the same
alternatives as those handed to the
French naval men at Oran and
Mers El-Kebir:
Fight with the British, turn their
ships over to the British, or: Sail
to a French West Indies port for
demilitarization, or: Sink the ships,
or: Face whatever force the Brit
ish deem necessary to keep the
ships from falling into enemy
hands.
Whether French Vice-Admiral
Godfrey, commanding, had been
given a time-limit to make his de-
cision was not known. The time
limit off Oran and Mers El-Kebir
was six hours.
Today, however, no British had
boarded the French ships; they
still were under their own Off
GERS and crews, and it was believ-
ed the British were not pressing
for an immediate decision.
The British seemed to believe
the majority of the French officers
and men are with them.

ACTION in BEAL'S
CASE IS PLANNED
HOey Plans To Extend Some
Form Of Clemency To For
mer Communist Soon

RALEIGH, July 5-R-Fred Err
win Beal, former communist
organizer serving II to 20 years
in prison for conspiracy to murder
will be extended some sort of c.
mency soon by a man whose ap-
pearance Beal once described as
For all the world like a quack
medicine barker"
Governor Hoey said today he
would take some sort of action
this fall in Beal's case. The Gov
ernor declined to state what sort
of clemency he would extend,
but declared that a pardon was
tout of the question"
With a pardon eliminated, the
action could take only two other
formS-a reduction of BeaPs SEN
tence or a parole.
In 1929, eight years before he
became Governor, Hoey was one
of the prosecuting attorneys at
BeaTs trial for the slaying of Police
Chief o. F. Aderhold during a tex
tile strike riot in Gastonia. After
the trial, Beal wrote a book, PRO
~letarian Journey" in which he de-
voted many pages to attacks on
Prosecutor Hoey. The quotation
which described Hoey as looking
like a medicine doctor went on to
call attention to his winged col
lar and chocolate brown swallow
tailed coat"
Beal, now AZ years old, is an
A-grade inmate at the Caledonia
prison farm. After his conviction
in Octobe r, 1929, he fled to Russia,
but later returned to this country
and was taken into custody for
North Carolina officers.
He entered prison here in Febru-
airy, 1888, and has only one black
mark on his prison record-he was
placed in solitary confinement for
three days in June, 1888, for fight
ing, incidentally, he lost the fight.
Recently, Beal urged that some
sort of a cooperative farm be
established where persons released
from North Carolina prisons could
'get a new start"

ROOSEVELT ASSERTS
DISARMAMENT ONLY
WAY TO REAL PEACE
Continued From Page One)

Continued From Page One)
held that freedom from such ter
ror must be based on the removal
of the weapons that cause it, and
that means disarmament.
Mr.. Roosevelt, of course, was
looking into the future in talking of
disarmament at a time when his
defense lieutenants in Washington
were whipping into shape another
SIS, 900, 900, 900 arms program for
submission to congress next week.
His words gave weight, howev-
er, to a possibility that America
might build up the mightiest sea
and air armadas in history, only
to sacrifice a portion of them if
the rest of the world could be per-
suaded to join in disarmament in
another effort to attain a r e a !
peace.
That course would follow a prec-
edent established after tn last
World wal when the United States
junked thousands of tons of war;
ships to meet terms of an interna-
tional arms pact.
The chief executive made it clear
that he believed disarmament
alone offered no formula for per-
manent peace, any more than it
did in the 1920's.
AS corol1ary essentials to. peace,
when the time comes to propose it,
he named:
Freedom of information. He
said that meant not only freedom
of the press but also of all chan
nels through h information
moves. America must receive
news of what is happening in all
parts of the country and the rest
of the world, he said.
2-Freedom from want, brought
about by tearing down cultural and
commercial barriers between ma
tons.
3-Freedom of religion, which
Mr.. Roosevelt said had been pre-
served fairly well by democracies
but not by other forms of govern
ment.
4HFreedom of expression, with
any individual permitted to state
his opinions unless he advocated
overthrow of his government.
Those who heard him got the
impression that his five free
doms" were not susceptible to be-
ing interpreted as a concrete peace
program.
AS for the supplementary defense
recommendations, expected to
shove the total beyond the 100000
90 mark, MI. Roosevelt said they
might be laid before congress next
Monday.
But he said he did not have the
final figures yet and that he had
not begun drafting a message to
the legislators. !

his steps in the nearby brush. Not
wanting any part of Mr.. Skunk,
he waved his arms wildly at the
animal, thinking he would leave.
But the polecat bristled up and
put up his dukes for a fight.
Colvin grabbed an oak limb and
met the challenge. He conquered
the skunk but is still wondering
who was the victor. Residents

ed to a notice to Germany not
to try to take over French,
British or other possessions in
the new wc-ld.
The German reply, as given
out in substance by Secretary
of State Hull today, made these
three points:
That Germany has "given no
occasion whatever for the as
SUMPTION that she. intends to
acquire territory in this hem
isphere and that the American
note to Germany was thus
without object
That the Interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine implicit In the
American note was "unten-
able" b e c it would
amount to comforting upon
some European countries the
right to possess territories in
the western hemisphere and
not to other European coun-
tries"
That the Monroe doctrines
principle that Europe must not
intervene in American affairs
a be illegally valid only on
condition that h American
nations for their part do not
interfere in the affairs Of the
European continent"
Counter-Argument
Hull's counter-argument did no
take the form Of a direct reply t.
Germany. He issued a statemen
that mo useful purpose
would be served, by "any furthe
communication" to the reich o.
the subject at this time.
But his statement went on to re
iterate that the United State
would not acquiesce in any trans
fer of new world land from on
non-American power to another.
Sharply, Hull declared that tn
Monroe doctrine has mot the re
connection with the fac
that certain European nations ex
ercise sovereignty over colonies il
the western hemisphere and tina
certain other European nations d.
"This situation existed before tn
Monroe doctrine was proclaimed,
his statement sale. 1.-The doctrin
did not undertake to interfere wit
the existing situation, but did an
nounce that further i%ncursion
would not be tolerated."
Moreover, Hull disdainfully re
jected the idea that there is an,
similarity between the Monro
doctrine and certain policies be
ing put into effect abroad. In Ian
guage which appeared aimed a
