that North Carolina may be the only

Vienna. Oct. 20. —(AP3- Orders to
shoot to kiil Nazi demonstrators were
issued today to the police of Dorn
birn, in the Vorarlberg district to im
press the populace with the serious
ness of the situation.
The Federal police commissary
warned the Dornbirn populace that
henceforth any one refusing to halt
when ordered to do so by the police
will be tired on.
In the recent revival of Nazi ac
tivity there has been a tendency
shown by some towns in Styria, Vorarl
berg and Carinthia to enjoy the de
monstrations rather than prevent
them.
In the Ftyrian town of Weiz, where
streets, houses and billboards suddenly
blossomed with swastika (Nazi) em
blems overnight, former Burgomaster
Reithose and his wife were forced by
gendarmes to scrape them off.
Nevertheless, the hoisting of Naz'
flags from factory chimneys and de
corating of whole trains with swas
'(kas has continued.
After making the announcement
Hawley had confessed, the officers
took him before United States Com
missioner G. L. Parker, and he waiv

Raleigh, Oct. 20.—(AP)—Norman
Davis gave State’s Prison authorities
a new wrinkle in methods used by
convicts to escape today when he se-I
creted himself in a false bottom in
a barrel of slops and got away.
The blue-eyed 24-year-old man,
given 15 to 20 years for manslaughter
in Rockingham county three years
ago. was being sought between Dur
ham and Raleigh.
H. G. Littlejohn, trusty, sent., to
prison from Buncombe county,
brought in the story of Davis’ escape,
and said he had struggled with the
man in an effort to hold him.
The trusty said he was hauling his
usual load of slops from Central Pri
son to the Camp Polk farm and was
near the Dixie end on the Durham
highway at the edge of Raleigh when
Davis suddenly stood up in a barrel.
The escapee jumped from the truck
and Littlejohn pursued him, but
couldn’t keep him from getting away.
Warden H. H. Honeycutt of Cen

Davis had help in arranging his es
cape and was investigating the escape
from every angle.
