THE REYNOLDS l L

CENATOR ROBERT R. REYNOLDS, who ma
~ long proclaimed that our laws fail adequate
ly to solve the alien problem, has introduce
in the senate a bill hopefully aimed at erao
cation of subversive activities.
In view of the increasing alarm over I'LL
column threats, there is reason to believe tina
at last the senator's efforts for alien contro
will receive not only sympathetic hearing bu
speedy approval by the august body OF whlc]
he is a member.
The bill provides:
Any person who:
(a) BY word of mouth or writing ad-
~vocates. advises, or teaches the duty,
necessity, or propriety of overthrowing or
oyerturning existing forms of constitu-
ticnal government by force or violence; OF
disobeying or s%abotaging or hindering the
carrying out of the laws, orders, or de-
crees of duly constituted civil, naval, or
military authorities; or by the assassina-
ton of officials of the government of the
limited States or of the several states or
by any unlawful means or under the guild
ance of or in collaboration with officials,
agents, or representatives OF a foreign
state or an international revolutionary
party or group; or
(b) Prints, publishes, edits, issues, or
knowingly circulates, sells, distributes, or
publicly displays any book, paper, docu-
ment, or written or printed matter in any
form, containing or advocating, advising or
teaching the doctrine that constitutional
government should be overthrown by
force, violence, or any unlawful means; or
(c) Openly, wilfully, and deliberately
urges, advocates, or ~justifies by word OF
mouth or writing the assassination or I'M
lawful killing or assaulting of any official
of the government of the United States or
of the several states because of his Off
cial character or any other crime, with
intent to teach, spread, or advocate the
propriety of the doctrines of criminal an
archy, criminal Communism, criminal Nail
ism, or criminal Fascism; or
(d) Organizes or helps to organize or

sembles with any society, group, or as
sembly of persons formed to teach or ad-
vocate such doctrines; or
(e) Becomes a member Of, associated
with, or promotes the interest Of any
criminal anarchistic, Communistic, Nazi-
istic, or Fascistic organization, or helps to
organize or become a member Of or af-
filiated with any subsidiary organization or
associated group or persons who advocates,

nal anarchy, criminal Communism, or
criminal Fascism.
Shall be guilty of a felony and upon con-
viction thereof be subject to Imprisonment
for not more than 10 years, or a fine Of
not more than $4,000, or both.
By taking favorable action on this measure
the senate, or rather both houses of congress
will have advanced a step nearer national sc
curity.

Dayton Rubber Company

RALEIGH, June IA R The
Dayton Rubber and Manufacturing
company Of Dayton, Ohio, today
received a contract to furnish
$457, 290.23 worth of tires and in
nertubes for state-owned automo-
biles, trucks and buses.
Montgomery Aldridge company
of Durham was awarded a con-
tract for $6,579.53 worth of tires.
Prices for the tires and tubes
were 1858 per cent higher than
last year, officials of the board
of awards said. They attributed
the increase to shortages of raw
rubber, and said they considered
rejecting all bids, but were afraid
prices might rise even higher 2

Capture Of Paris Is

BERLIN, June 14|R-There
was a special demonstration at the
state opera house tonight over the
fall of Paris.
Before the performance of Wag-

Adolf Hitler's favorites, the cur-

revealed on the stage, arms up
raised in the NaZi salute.
The audience followed suit-With
the exception of a party of Ameri-
cans in the private box of U. S.
Charge D'Affaires Alexander Kirk.
They stood.
Everyone else sang the twin ma
tional anthems-the Horst Vessel
Lied and Deutschland.

PARIS TAKEN

The German war machine reaches Paris, de-
spite the stubborn fighting of the French and
the steady depletion of its own forces and ma
terials. But France gives no indication of sur
render. On the contrary, the valiant armies
that have contested every foot against superior
Nazi armored and MOTORIZED troops continue
the battle with the same determination that has
characterized their action since General WEY.
GAND was called to the supreme Allied COM
mand.
This is what counts. Not the loss of Paris.
Paris Is not animate. The armies of France
are. They go on and on and on, against a pitt
less foe, a demoniac dictator whose sole pur-
pose is to destroy. They don't stop. They sci.
dom eat. They know no defeat. Pressed back,
always further back, by overwhelming superb
ority in men and tanks and planes and the
physical things that implement war, they keep
doggedly at it because their spirit cannot be
conquered. HITLER may eventually capture
them, but he'll never kill that spirit.
And that rs what inspires the belief that no
enemy is great enough to slay democracy. The
French are fighting for their homeland, to be
sure, but more important even than that, they
are fighting for an ideal, for a right to live
their own lives, unfettered by totalitarianism,
in the freedom that can come only in freedom.
With German divisions behind the Maginot
line and the French defenders unable to turn
their guns around, with the government again
on the move southwark and with WEYeANp
forced to give ground, it is difficult to see how
victory can come for them. One thing at least
Is certain. America cannot send the clouds
our sympathies at fever heat, and our wish
to aid, we do not possess them and we could
not fly them to the battle field, nor could
Canada man them for the flight. But it is not
In the French tradition to quit. The will to
fight is still half the victory.

Man bout
Manhattan
By George Tucker

NEW YORK, June IA - Before
he hurried off to California with
his coin collections, his basifon,
his czarist medals, his wife and
his accordions Basil Fomeen gave
a farewell party for his friends.
Fomeen is a cherubic, slightly mad
Russian who served with the
Whites as an officer and arrived
in Manhattan with exactly t W
cents in his pocket after the ex-
pertinent failed. He smokes long,
white Russian cigarettes which his
mother makes for him and which
he presents to his friends on all
occasions.
This party, held on top of one
of Manhattan's tallest hotels,
turned out to be a Carpathian
Mardi Gras of smoked sturgeon,
caviar, smouldering : eyed girls,
vodka, and champagne. The vod-
ka was plentifully scattered
around on tables in water glasses.
There were also plenty of water
glasses holding water, which pre-
sented a puzzling problem to late
arrivals in as much as vodka and
water are identical in appearance.
Finally Basil made things easier
for those who wished to drink wa
ter occasionally by dropping jack
straWs into the vodka glasses.
1t was a noisy, unanimously
sentimental evening. Ada Kuznet-
zoff flew in from Hollywood just
to lend his Russian baritone to
the occasion. There was an ampli-
fer on the floor, and a recording
machine present. Every note, yell.
shout, cheer, laugh, wisecrack,
plus all the hum and confusion
was instantly recorded and played
back to this appreciative audience
of newspapermen, Russian chan
teuses, dancers, and just people.
Through the evening a gypsy or
chestra played unremittingly, and
a black-eyed girl from the Ural
mountains district in Russia sang
passionate laments, all in Russian.
Most of the songs we're Basil
own. Indeed, for favors, his
guests were presented with richly
ornamented albums of his songs
published in Russian but carry
ing English translations. Some are
melancholy airs, imbued with the
traditional melancholy of Moscow
lite maidens whose Cossack lovers
are off on dangerous forages. 9th
ers r light and gay. ALI a r e
melodious and catchy.
And just why was Basil Fo-
meen pulling out from his slip in
for California?
I'm tired of New York life.
Maybe l will make a great sue
cess in California. If not, I will
buy me a filling station and write
a symphony"
He said, "See that lady with the
hat framed against the win
low? That is my mother. G O
bless her" He leaped up and ran
across the floor and kissed her
cheek. He drank a noisy salute to
his friends, introducing first one
then another over the ampliaer.
Come" shouted Basil, 'let there
more sturgeon and champagne.
See that 1ady acro,. Ali, +oh1,
with the flower in her hair. That
is my wife. God bless her." He
leaped across the table and kissed
her cheek. There was tumultuous
applause. Just as he was saying.

All-Night
Rain Helps
Crops Here

A slow rain, which was heavy at
times, fell Monday night in this city
and over this entire section, so far
as has been learned. 1t was regarded
as virtually liGc-saVcr Tor crops,
and put different appearance on
tobacco, cotton, and other crops to-
day.
The rain began early in the evening
and continued steadily throughout
most of the night. Some said it was
lust what was needed and all that
was needed to bring crops around.
One business man-farmer who gets
around Il great deal over this and
other counties said today the present
outlook for all crops was virtually
ideal, and was the best he had seen
in many years. With favorable sea-
sons from this time on, yields should
be plentiful and Of high quality, this
observer said.
He added, however,, that the
tragedy Of it IS the poor prospect for
prices for tobacco and cotton, the
principal money crops in this section.
