Among those who will witness (Continued on tjage eight) Price Rise in Cotton Expected New York Expert Foresee s a Bullish Cotton Market New York, Nov. 8.?'U.R)- Ben- ; jamin Adler, cotton expert, to night foresaw a bullish cotton market and predicted a rise in cotton prices because of expand | ing world consumption and the i earliest harvest in history. "Private crop estimates have I been mounting in size since last i week but cotton has failed to yield j in price," he said. "Since August i 3. when the first official estimate [ of the season appeared, until now, j the market has fluctuated within [ a range of some 50 points. . . . Fear seems to be giving way to I optimism and hope the world over, and this is especially true of cot ton. "The large ginnings of over 8.500,000 bales reported by the government as of October 17 gave rise to the belief in many quarters that the crop had been under estimated, while few have recon ciled these figures with the larg | est perecntag picked and ginned 1 to that date of any year on record. "The use of early maturing va | rieties, the intense, forcing heat of j the summer and the improved methods of getting the crop out are responsible for the earliest harvest in history. Unless a mir acle has happened . . . the crop is not larger than the last bureau report made it. "The outlook for cotton prices is bullish due to an advancing commodity price level and expand ing world consumption which | should increase more than 10 per cent over last season." Negotiations To End Strike Are Resumed Secretary Perkins Hopeful of a Fair and Just Settlement Washington, Nov. 8.?(U.R)?Ne gotiations between shipowners and union leaders looking toward set tlement of the Pacific ccast mari time strike will be resumed at San Francisco tomorrow. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins announced tonight. "I am hopeful that a resump tion of negotiations will result in the parties to the maritime dis pute reaching a fair and just set tlement of their differences," Miss Perkins said. The secretary made the an nouncement after talking by tele phone with her assistant, Edward P. McGrady, who is in charge of the labor department's conciliation efforts on the west coast. McGrady has bee. working ceaselessly to bring the warring factions together and Miss Per kins said tonight that "the de partment of labor stands ready to aid in every possible way to bring about a speedy adjustment in the interests of the general public and the parties directly concerned." The secretary said McGrady, ace "trouble shooter" of the depart ment, "has all the authority I think is necessary for mediation and conciliation" and that she had full confidence in his ability to handle the negotiations. She did not anticipate any necessity for | direct intervention in the crisis by President Roosevelt. It has been indicated that strong federal pressure for settle ment of the current strike would be brought upon the shipowners involved, under the maritime com mission's broad authority, unless the deadlock is broken soon. Secretary Perkins prepared, meanwhile, for a discussion of general labor problems tomorrow with two governors and represent atives from 39 states in a confer ence called to propose desirable legislation for the nation's work ers. She said purpose of this con ference. the third of its kind, was to "exchange information among | the states to promote a sensible program" for labor legislation. Show Boal To Skip IV. C. And Try The South J N. C. Taxes Too High; the Floating Theater to Try INew Territory The news that the Original j Floating Theater will skip Eliza 1 beth City and North Carolina en I tirely this fall and will venture I into virgin show boat territory further south for the first time was announced last night, by Charles Hunter, impressario of the I show boat, who was passing j through Elizabeth City on his way !south. The floating theater, which has been playing here at least once every 18 months since it was built, and which wintered here for a number of years, left Onancock, Va.. yesterday and is now on its way to Charleston. S. C., where it will play an engagement. Mr. Hunter is on his way to Florida, and if the prospects arc bright, the show boat will go from Charleston into Georgia and down perhaps as far as Jacksonville. Fla. It has never before been south of Wilmington, but now that the in land waterway from Wilmington to Charleston has been opened, Mr. Hunter and the owners de cided to try the Southern terri tory. "We are cutting out North Caro lina this fall." said Mr. Hunter, "because, as I have stated before, the taxes in this state are so high we cannot make expenses." "Elizabeth City," he added, is the only town in the state that gives us enough business to return us a profit, and we probably will be here for a week in the spring, when we head back North." CUTTER TO RESCUE San Pedro, Cal., Nov. 8.?(U.R)? Coast guard radio reported tonight the United States navy tug Sea farer was proceeding to the res cue of the Shephard line freighter Timber Rust, adrift with a broken rudder off the coast of Nicaragua, As Idle as a Painted Ship Upon a Painted Harbor UPWARD of 50 ships crowded dock and anchorage facilities in Los Angeles, Cal., harbor, as the sea men's strike gripped the waterfront. Here are some of the ships tied up in the harbor. "Madrid Is Is Rebels' Claim Insurgents Invade the Suburbs of Capital Violent Fighting Inhahitaiit!? Pour Boiling Water and Burning Oil On the Invaders Seville, Nov. 8?(U.R)?Rebel General Gonzalo Queipo De Llano announced tonight over the radio: "After today's advance on tiie Madrid front, our troops are only 2.1 miles from the Puerta Del Sol." The square he mentioned is in the heart of Madrid. "Madrid is ours. Viva Espana!" Queipo De Llano continued. He said that during today's air bombings the insurgents had tired to respect embassies and hospi tals. The Nationalist militia he an nounced. had advanced in the di rection of Casa Campos, but was driven back after a fierce hand to-hand encounter. Loyalist planes, he continued, unsuccessfully attempted to bomb Getafe. Numerous small points in the vicinity of Madrid, he added, were taken at the bayonet point. Queipi De Llano said the chil dren. old persons, and foreigners in Madrid would be respected by the Rebels, but added: "However, the Nationalist com mand will treat harshly all bear ing arms or who have borne arms against the Nationalists. "Madrid citizens, throw down your arms and return home. Stay there and you will not be in dan ger. All found in homes without arms will be respected." USE OF BURNING OIL Talavcra De La Reina, Spain. Nov. 8.?<U.R)?Insurgent head quarters here announced today that Rebel troops had entered the city limits of Madrid. The time of entry was not given. Desperate street fighting was reported raging in the capital with government defenders re- j sorting to medieval tactics such ; as pouring boiling oil and scald- j ing water from the upper stories : of houses on the attacking Rebels below. The communique said insur gents entered the southwesterni part of Madrid by the Segovia, j Princcssa and Toledo bridges. This was the first time the use of boiling water and burning oil had been reported. Rebels were enraged. Its effectiveness, after the first I unexpected deluge, was reported ! greatly diminished as insurgent vanguards immediately began cleaning out houses with hand ! grenades and machine guns. In view of the apparent im- i minence of the fall of Madrid, the Rebel high command ordered all correspondents back to Talavera, Toledo and Avila to await permis sion to join a caravan to enter the city. WILL FIND CITY IN RUIN Hindriye, TYanco-S ?j a n I s h Frontier, Nov. 8.?(U.R>?Rebel General Francisco Franco will find piles of corpses and a city in ruins when he enters Madrid, the CNT i National Confederation of; Labor radio station in Jacn Spain, reported today. A dramatic account of the des perate last stand by the defend- j trs of Madrid in the face of five attacking insurgent columns was sent by short wave radio to gov ernment authorities in Bilbao. The Jaen sender assured the Bas ques that if Franco's men actual- | ly penetrate into the streets of j Madrid it will be a fight to the bitter end and "he will find noth ing but a mass of ruins and piles of corpses."

J Washington to Loos en Up and Make Whoopee Depression Is Over Capital Expects a Capacity Crowd of a Hundred Thousand or More Washington, Nov. 8.?(UR)?A nation which gave Franklin Del | ano Roosevelt the staunchest vote of confidence ever tendered an American President tonight pre pared to make his second inau guration one of the greatest cele brations of its kind in history. Under the Norris "lame-duck" legislation, the inauguration will be held on January 20 this year instead of on March 4 as in the | past, and newly elected senators and congressmen will take their seats on January 5. Whether Mr. Roosevelt will send his message on the state of the nation and budget estimates to Congress in its early days, as usual, or wait until after his inauguration, has not yet been announced. Although the inaugural cere- J mony still is 73 days away and I the official committee to take charge of arrangements lias riot yet been named, preliminary ar rangements already are being made to take care of more than j 100,000 visitors expected to be at tracted to the nation's capital. 9,000 Rooms for Visitors A flood of letters and telegrams j from persons throughout the j country seeking reservations has struck the city's leading hotels. A total of 3,000 rooms in the 34 ho tels associated in the Washington Hotel Owners' association will be available to out-of-town visitors. In addition, it was stated, there will be approximately 6.000 rooms in boarding houses and private homes to accommodate those who desire to remain in the capital. A housing shortage has been a reality here for three years and authorities said it was planned to take care of overflow crowds in suburban towns and nearby Vir ginia and Maryland cities. No check has been made yet of quar ters available in these communi ties, but they arc said to be ade quate to care for a majority of the visitors.

Freighter Is is Believed Lost With All Hands Hamburg - American Line Ship domes To Grief In Boii^h Gale Off the Eng lish (.oast. London. Monday, Nov. 9.?(U.R) The Hamburg-American freighter Isis was believed to have found ered in a gale about 200 miles off the English coast today, and it was feared all hands were lost. The Isis, a Hamburg-American liner, sent out a distress call at 1:15 i). m. giving its position as about 200 miles off the English coast in the Atlantic. The steamer wirelessed that its hatches were stove in and that water was pouring into the holds. Mackay reported that the British steamer S. S. Seminole was racing to the scene from 60 miles away. The Wcsternland radioed it was searching the water for lifeboats but was hampered by darkness. The Westernland said it had not heard from the Isis since 2:25 p.m. Hamburg-American line offi cials here said they had not heard from the ship since she sailed from Hamburg November 2. The ship carried no passengers, they said. It was due in Philadelphia November 19. The Isis is 376 feet long, 51 feet wide and 25 feet deep. The Westernland is a German Red Star liner out of Hamburg. New York, Nov. 8.?(U.R)?Mac key radio tonight intercepted an i S. O. S. from the Hamburg-Amer ican liner Isis which gave its po ! sition as about 200 miles off the English coast in the Atlantic. | The steamer wirelessed that its hatches were stove in. and that | water was pouring into the holds.

Central airport in a chartered air | plane bound for Yuma, Ariz., to-! night apparently to be married. Fate Of Minority Parties??| Communist Proposal for Merger With Socialists and Farmer-Laborites is! Spurned by Socialists. New York, Nov. 8.?(U.R)?Com munists, faced with the danger of being removed from the ballot in New York State, tonight invited other minority political organ izations to join them in a united iront for the next election?"An | ail-inclusive farmer-labor party." The appeal of Earl Browder, Communist presidential candidate, v/as addressed primarily to So cialists who, along with other minority parties, took a drubbng in the Roosevelt landslide. It ap peared tonight that the combined vote of the minority parties would be around 1,000,000?about one fifth of what Sen. Robert La Toi lette polled when he, too, tried to unite farmers anl workers behind his candidacy in 1924. Communists draw much of their strength from New York City, but it was doubtful whether they would bet 50,000 votes through out the State. There is a New J York State law which says that a party must poll at least 50,000 votes in the gubernatorial election or lose its place on the ballot. Communists are considering a court test of the law in an attempt to get themselves back on the bal lot. If it fails, they will have to resort to a "write-in" campaign. "The crisis now existing in the Socialist party. . . can only be ended when the Socialists rid themselves of Trotskyite disrup ters, make a united front with the Communist party and aid in the furthering of the people's move ment against reaction, Fascism and war, and in the movement lor an all-inclusive Farmer-Labor party," Browder said.

A new German army will rise up and crush an enemy at any hour, Chancellor Adolf Hitler said to day in addressing a party of vet erans on the anniversary of the famous 1923 "beer cellar" putsch. "As the old army fought for the eld reich, so a new army will fight for the new reich if the hour comes," he said. "This is the first time I can celebrate t hir> day ? without worrying about the fate of the nation.

Mussolini Wants A Gentleman 9s Pact J With Great Britain Says That Agreement Should Be Clear and Simple Sounds Like Sense Says Neither England Nor Italy tail Afford Hostil ity In Mediterranean Editor's Note: The following exclusive interview with Premier Benito Mussolini was obtained by Ward Price, one of the edi tors of the London Daily Mail. In it II Duce clarifies the rela tions of Italy and Britain, espe cially in the Mediterranean, statins: that Anglo-Italian inter ests are not antagonistic but complementary, and proposing a "gentleman's agreement" be tween the two powers. By WARD PRICE (By arrangement with the London Daily Mail) Rome, Nov. 8.?(U.R)?In the hope that Anglo-Italian reconcili ation may be carried beyond the stage of public speeches by either side, I asked Signor Mussolini if he would tell me what practical measures for its realization he had in mind. He replied at once m three English words: "A gen tleman's agreement," adding quickly, "that is what I want." "Might one know on what lines?' I inquired. "Would it be an agreement for defining respec tive spheres of influence in the Mediterranean or does yfur ex cellency mean a pact of aon-ag gression between Britain and Italy?" Seeks Simple Solution II Duce swept these ideas away with a sweep of his strong hand. "Such things would lead to fresh complications," he said. "I do not want to aggravate the pact mania which lately has been rag ing. What I contemplate is a so lution as simple and clear as pos sible, as suits the psychology of fascist Italy and also is congenial to British temperament. "Anglo-Italian interests in tl;e Mediterranean are not antagonis tic but are complementary. Nei ther nation oan afford the luxury of being hostile to the other in that sea. "The agreement should insure reciprocal protection of those in terests. It should, therefore, be a bilateral one and its character should be such as to reassure com pletely other states bordering the Mediterranean. "Finding a formula to embody this agreement is not difficult but a necessary prelude to such a formula is a new atmosphere which is coming into existence. This new atmosphere justifies the belief that a fresh page is being turned in the record of relations between our two countries." I mentioned to II Duce that though traditional British good will towards Italy was reasserting itself, there still were a good many people in England who are uneasy .-.bout Italian plans in the Medi terranean. An Idea He Never Entertained "Some of them believe," I said, "that there may be a secret un derstanding between your excel lency and Gen. Francisco Franco by which Majorca may be trans ferred to Italy as a naval base in return for Italian sympathy dur ing the nationalist (rebel) cam paign. It seemed strange that your speech should have con tained no reference to the Spanish situation." j "I omitted all reference to Spain out of respect for the principle of non-intervention," replied Musso lini. smiling. "As for your sug gestion about Majorca, I can tell you mast emphatically that such an idea never even reached the threshold of our mindB. In fact I should have no respect for a leader of the nationalist move ment who considered for a mo ment the possibility of giving au.'y his country's territory." Mussolini was wearing the gray uniform of his special rank as "corporal of honor" of the fascist militia when I saw him at the Palazzo Venezia. Around the neck of his black shirt hung the gold collar of Annunziata, the highest Italian order, which gives its hold ers the courtesy title of "cousin" of the king of Italy. He haa been addressing one of many open-air meetings at which he liad spoken during the week.
