Hoev Forties ^ill Hardly Stop Draft Plan for Roosevelt Both Faction* Claim \ i?-tor\ At Committee Meeting In Raleigh Governor Hoey, announcing an in direct opposition to a third term* for Roosevelt a few days ago when he went on record as favoring Cordell Hull for the high position, will hard lv check a movement advanced by leading North Carolina Democrats t< draft Roosevelt for a third term, ac cording to information brought back home by Committeeman E P Cun ningham who attended a meeting of the group with J E King, local man. in Raleigh last Saturday. The North Carolina chief executive was recognized by some to have scored a victory when he yielded a point by approving a pledge to Mr. Roosevelt s candidacy. The party leaders returning here state that it 'is possible that the supporters of the third-term movement will not only work to pledge the State's 23 elec toral votes to Mr. Roosevelt bu>t that they will also work to draft him for service during a third term It was reported from reliable sources that Mr Hoey had failed to i?rganu? a strong opimsitioo u> tin* third-term movement, and that he took the next best course and tried to hold his forces by offering a com promise It has been said that the Governor almost frantically tried to gain sup port for a "stop the Ropsevelters" drive in the county conventions which will instruct delegates to the state gathering He has called in pow erful political figures from several parts of the state, has "put the heat" on state officials (some elected and ? jILu. ins appointees) out has mot nothing but polite refusal One of his appointees is quoted us saying. "He can't un appoint me and fm not -going to stick my neck out that way ) And so if the North Carol ma doh? gates turn out to be instructed for Roosevelt, if he. runs, and no further. it is gome to he a real victory for th?? Roosevelt supporters, not a matte, of agreement with the Governor, who is thought ui many quarters to be personally aroused over the matter as hi. hat not la during- hi." entire ail ministration Community Sinn Scheduled At Ihirdrn* Sunday Sight There will b? a community singing service at Hardens Christian Church, Harden;:, troratay-tughi at 7:3? p. i conducted by Mr Garland Bland, of Atlantic Christian College The pub lie is invited J.

C 3 Critical Turn for England In Scandinavia Reported Today A critical turn against the Allies in Norway was reported at noon to day after the increasing German forces had smashed through the al lied lines and joined their units in the central part of the small coun try. Important railroad centers have been taken over by the Germans, and allied forces were reported to have been cut off from reenforce ments. The Germans were also said lb have captured large quantities allied supplies, and claimed decisive victories on all fronts. The sinking of two or three addi tional \ British submarines in the Skagerrak was reported today. Then ww- no counter claims of victory oi any admission of heavy losses by the allied command.

The voting strength based on names found in the registration books and the vote cast in the June. 1934, primary are listed below. It is believed that new registration will J hardly be complete until about three fourths of the names on the old \ books are entered in the new ones. In other words, if the county books I carry 5,600 names at the close of the! registration period on May 11. tlu- j registration can be recognized as fairly complete.

Martin County motorists con tinued fairly respectful of hu man life last week, but the at tack against limb and property held a steady pace, the Record adding two more to its accident list and jumping the damage fig ure by about $150. Strange as it may seem, the number of acci dents this yrar is far greater than the number a year ago, and yet the death column this year is marked by the absence of the grim recordings. During the first four months of 1939. three lives had been lost on the highways and streets of this county. If mo torists maintain their record through today, four months will have passed without a single highway or ltT?el fatality. Sure ly, if motorists can travel four months without claiming a life, they can respect human life dur ing the fifth month, the sixth month and on and on. Hie following tabulations of fer a comparison of the accident trend: first, by corresponding weeks in this year and last and for each year to the present time. Seventeenth Week Comparison .

Wiley Stanley and Everett Fillingham, nationally known lecturer and long connected with the National Anti-Crime Asso ciation.

Special invitations have been extended to ministers, lo cal officials, and police everywhere to come and view the "Death Car" in which the two notorious criminals were shot to death by operatives of the law.
