McGrady continued his ef forts to settle contract differences be tween 37.000 other west coast mari time workers and employers.

UASKI'.H VIM, Raleigh, Nov. 7.—Sparks are flying between the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority here and the Rural Electrification Administration in Washington over the situation in Johnston county, and it would not surprise some observers to see some fuses blown in the near future with reverberations that may reach the ears of Congress and President Roose velt. For, while everything looks calm and serene on the surface, the wires are sizzling and crackling behind the scenes, according to those who really know what ha s been and still is going on. It has been known here for months that Rural Electrification Administra tor Morris L. Cooke, in Washington, and his entire outfit has heartily dis liked the North Carolina REA, large ly because it succeeded in getting more than 2,000 miles of rural elec tric lines either built or under con tract in North Carolina without any aid from the Cooke-administered REA in Washington or without any REA loans. This has had Cooke cook ing over a hot griddle for many months.

ROOSEVELT PARTY SEEN AS FORMING Democratic and Republican Organizations May Pass From Scene By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Nov. 7. President Roosevelt was re-elected by so much wider a margin than anyone really had expected that both party manage ments are just beginning to take stock of the situation. That is to say, the Democratic party management is doing so and the sur vivors of what was the Republican management are surveying -the ruins and wondering whether anything can be reconstructed from them. True, James A. Farley talked about 48 states and John Hamilton men tioned 46 or so but the fact is that up to the last minute the best poli tical judges looked for a rather close election. The Democrats were as much pleas ed as the Republicans were grieved by the actual result but the Demo crats were somewhat flabbergasted by the size of it, too. The problem is: Was the victory in any proper sense a Democratic vic- (Continued on Page Four.) OIIR WEATHERMAN jtqr ORTH CAROLINA.

Edward A. O’Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said he favored re-enactment of the original agricultural adjustment act, together with some features of the present soil conservation plans and loans to farmers on their crops. C. V. Gregory, Chicago editor of a farm journal, who said he spoke for farmers east of the .Mississippi river, asserted he “did not believe there was any larger demand for farm yield insurance east of the Mississippi river.” “What farmers there want is price stability,” Gregory said. Judge Xenophon Caverno, of Cana lou, Mo., State AAA committeeman, said he thought the proposed Federal insurance program was “too com plex.” “I think there are short cuts to ob tain the same thing,” he said. A number of spokesmen, however, favored the insurance proposals. Many leaders reiterated Secretary Wallace’s assurance that crop insur ance would supplement present farm programs. JURIST TO RETIRE IN MAXWELL CASE Judge Skeen Finds llimself Related to Virginia School Teacher Seeking New Trial Wise, Va., Nov. 7 (AP)—Judge H. A. W. Skeen, of Wise county, dis qualified himself today from further participation in the case of Edith Maxwell, charged with killing her father, because of a newly disclosed and very distant relationship between him and the defendant. His order, asking that Governor Perry appoint another judge to pre side at the second trial of the school teacher ,abruptly halted a change of venue hearing at which Miss Max well’s attorneys charged that a fair trial for her was now impossible in Wise county. Judge Sken said that the disquali fication order also should be appli cable to the hearing for a change of venue and stopped it at once. In their petition for a trial else where, defense attorneys said the 85- yeai-old Judge Skeen was distantly related to the mother of Trigg Max well, who was killed at his Pound, Va., home in 1935.

ELECTION SEEN AS BOOST TO LIBERALS Tulane Professor Says Minorities Will Now Be Able To Make Very Little Headway Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 7. —(AP) —Prof. H. C. Nixon, of Tulane University, said today liberalism “can find new encouragement in the sweeping re election” of President Roosevelt. “With so much liberal and labor support for the Roosevelt administra tion, and that support avowed and recognized,” Nixon told the Southern Political Science Association, “liberal minority elements, whether on or off the Roosevelt hand wagon, should henceforth be able to make little headway with red-baiting agitation.” Nixon, history and political science professor, is vice president of the S. P. S. A. A score of educators were listed for addresses at a three-day convention of the association. Nixon- said “the general improve ment in race relations” and “a more vigorous opposition to lynching” were among “the finest items pointing to ward liberalism in the South.” Taking cognizance, however, of in dustrial disputes, which have led in some instances to bloodshed, he said it was “in danger in the sphere of economic relations, particularly with reference to civil rights for labor and labor leaders.” 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY General Sebastian Ponzas In Full Command as Gov ernment Flees To ward the East 72 HOURS TO TELL FATE OF CAPITAL Terrified Thousands of Re fugees Leave City as Quak ing Populace That Re mains Hears Ever-Nearing Din of Battle as Fierce Moorish Hordes Approach Madrid, Nov. 7.— (Al*) —A coun cil of defense under the ardent leftist General Jose Miaja replac ed the government In Spain’s menaced capital today.
