By J. O. It ASKER VILI, Raleigh, Dec. I.—No special session of the General Assembly will be call ed between now and December 31 td enact a State unemployment insur ance tax law which will meet with the approval of the Social Security Board, in the opinion of most obser vers here, despite the fact that Gov ernor J. C. B. Ehringhaus has not said as yet whether he will or will not call a special session. But those who know the governor best are con vinced that he will not call a special session, for the following reasons: 1. Because North Carolina now has a State unemployment insurance law; enacted by the 1935 General Assembly 2. Because this law would be ade quate and satisfactory to the Social Security Board but for the fact that its 26-year old chief counsel disagrees on one word and has hence ruled thie law out. * 3.

I.—(AP)—The bishop of Bradford warned King' Edward VIII today that he needs the grace of God as much as any of his subjects, in a thinly-veiled public criticism of the king’s private life. “We hope he is aware of his needs,” Dr. A. W. F. Blunt sad, concluding his address to the Bradford Dioesan conference. “Some of us wish he gave more positive signs of such awareness.” It was the first time a bishop of the Church of England had publicly mentioned King Edward’s public af fairs. .

The If Republicans Are There at All, Candidate Must Write His Own Name From Now On ROOSEVELT WONT SEEK THIRD TERM Too Much of Statesman To Risk Going Out of Office On Anti-Climax; He May Pick John L. Lewis or Gov. Phil La Follette, But Neither Is Democrat By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Dec. 1. —“What is the future of the Republican party?” is a question one hears asked right and left. It is not altogether uninteresting either, to ask, “What is the future of the Democratic party?” Maybe it is a bit early to discuss 1940’s prospects now. Nevertheless 1940 will begin to be in the making with the convening of the next congressional session early in January. G. O. P. ADVANTAGE? The Republicans perhaps will prove to have an advantage or two, odd as it probably sounds to say so at pre sent. They will have cohesion; there are not enough of them to quarrel among themselves. Un-Republican Republi cans no longer will be Republicans; as they have been in recently past years; they will be Democrats. A Republican will be a Republican and no mistake. Republicanism also will be free to evolve a candidate of its own choos ing for the 1940 presidential cam paign. Governor Landon neither will be in the running' nor will he have ■any influence.
