Gulley Is
Given One
Hour Term
Columbia, S. C. Oct. 3 (AP) Her
bert Gulley, Federal revenue agent,
todav had the satisfaction of a judge’s
assurance that he had “simply made
a mistake,” but had "done no harm,"
although convicted by a Federal jury
of trespass and damage to personal
property in a liquor raid on the home
of a Pasquotank county woman.
Judge I. M. Meekins gave Gulley
that assurance in sentencing him to
serve one hour in the custody of the
court’s probation officer to satisfy the
\erdict of the jury.
Gulley contended at his trial that he
had a right to search the woman’s
premises without a warrant because a
license for the sale of beer had been
issued for the place.
Gunter worked himself free in about
half an hour and sounded an alarm.
The yeggs had cut only through the
outer door of the vault when discov
ered by Gunter. They gained access
to about SIOO in silver, which was
taken. Other funds were behind an
inner vault door, which was not open
ed.
Lucama is in Wilson county, about
10 miles from the city of Wilson.
Gunter said there were two robbers.

Roosevelt
Studies On
His Truce
Washington, Oct. 4 (AP) Laying the
groundwork -of policies aimed at pro
ducing widespread benefits for the
industrial order continued today to
occupy major administration atten
tion.
Administative problems facing the
industrial recovery board kept the
new governors of the blue eagle busy.
Meeting for the first time yesterday
to tackle the task of organizing the
NRA machinery, the board apparent
ly saw ahead a sizeable job.
“We took no action,” Chairman Clay
Williams reported. “These discus
sions will continue for several days.”
Across the way at the White House
President Roosevelt himself gave at
tention to the industrial situation —
to his proposal for a truce in indus
trial war. While industry and its
labor speculated over what Mr. Roose
velt’s specific moves toward that ob
jective would be. thev had the assur
ance todav of an informal statement
that the plans did not contemplate dis
turbing the collective bargaining sec
tion of the recovery act, or interfer
ence with the labor guarantee clause.

Tokyo, Oct. 3. (/P) —Japanese army

The army is demanding increased
appropriations for defense in the 1935-

win popular support.

“It Japan fails to take the proper
defensive measures with respect to

Japan.
“Howc er, we decline to take Gen

dangerous enemy is Japan and our
planes should be designed to attack
•Japan.’’ He said 59 dirigibles could
destroy Japan in two days.)
