HENDERSON’S POPULATION 13,873 TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR MUOk PARTIES BEGIN IMUE FOR POWER FDR Leaves For Capital; Still Silent Withholds Comment On Election Losses; Cuban Dictator Visits Washington Hyde Park, N. Y., Nov. 10. —(AP)— President Roosevelt left foY Washing ton at 12:f>5 p. m., eastern standard time, today. The President, non-com mittal on the Republican congress ional and gubernatorial gains in Tuesday’s elections, thus ended an other eight-day stay here ts return to Washington for Armistice Day exer cises. His special train was scheduled to. arrive in Washington tonight. If the election results dealt a severer blow than Mr. Roosevelt had expected, it was not reflected in a statement last night by Secretary Marvin Mclntyre, who replied, when asked for presi dential comment on “Democratic losses”: ‘‘He (the President) said there would be no comment.* He said he is feeling very cheeuful and everything is grand.” At Washington, meanwhile, election losses which cut deeply into the Pres ident’s numerical majority in Con gress, may give the balance of power on occasion to the small band of anti administration Democrats. This group combined with Republicans in 1937 to kill the President’s court bill. A similar coalition in the House defeat ed the first wage-hour bill and the government reorganization program, both of which passed the Senate by scant margins. In the 1939 session, the Democrats will have a majority of about 20 Sen ate seats and more than 40 House seats, but several times in - the last two years fully that number of Dem ocrats have voted against the admin istration. Other Washington developments in cluded: Colonel F. Batista, on his first trip away from Cuba, stepped from a train into the middle of a Grade A Wash ington diplomatic and military recep tion. - • The Cuban army head, dressed in a plain olive drab uniform, was greeted with handshakes by brilliantly uni formed army officers, headed by Gen eral Malin Craig, chief of staff. Sum ner Welles, under secretary of state, extended the welcome of the 'Civil branch of the United States govern ment. Secretary Ickes said he saw a real possibility that the Democratic party might draft President Roosevelt for a third term.

Raleigh, Nov. 10. —Praises of Direc tor Dudley Bagley and his State Rural Electrification Authority have been justly sung for the remarkable growth of electrification in North Carolina during the three years of the Authority’s existence; but Mr. B. and his able assistants freely confess that they now face the most difficult part of the tremendous ,!ob at which they are working. Ine fact is that the cream of rural el* ctrifif ation has bee" skimmed and Hiere remains no pile hue milk of the -eavings. In recent years, and even months, the Authority has been able to an nounce completion or authorization of projects running into the hundreds of miles and thousands of customers. From now on it’s going to speak in terms of fractions of miles and scores or iess of customers. A report of the Duke Power Com pany on rural lines it has approved since July 1 is illuminating on this score. It shows that no less than 172 projects %ave been authorized in 31 counties, but the grand total of all projects amounts to but 211.51 miles and 1,222 customers —an average of 1.23 miles and 7.1 customer per pro ject and less than five customers per inile. Shortest single project on the list was one of .06 miles in Forsyth coun ty, authorized to serve three custom ers. Longest was 11.90 miles in Stokes county, constructed to serve 64 cus tomers. Counties in which projects were ap proved were Alamance, Alexander, Burke, Caibarrurf, Caldwell, Caswell, Catawba, Cleveland, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Gaston, Guilford, Henderson, (Continued on Page Two.) ®B. ,t DERSON, N.

Almost on the same day the architect completed draft of plans the building—plans which will go today to the Federal PWA au thorities in Atlanta, according to At torney" General Harry McMullan. Construction of the building -is cer tain to begin before December 16, be cause of the government’s desire to get all PWA projects under way as rapidly as possible.

Hoey to study the matter anc which was headed by Major L. F. McLendon of Greensboro. While the McLendon plans called for establishment of the department under the Attorney General, there was no certainty that the legislature would so establish it, as there was then no limitation on that phase—the depart ment could have been set up under the governor, or the Commissioner o? Paroles, or the Welfare Department or any other.

O. ;P. Gains in Elections Tuesday ' - - -• i.\ (Bv The Associated Press.). The Democratic and Republican parties began a two-year struggle for power today as the aftermath of po* litical unheavals in Tuesday’s elec tions. With eleven new governorships, eight new Senate seats and at least 77 more House seats firmly i n their Republicans turned from bal lot-countina with the avowed inten tion of trying to take over the presi dency in 1940. Democrats, characterizing many of their losses as “inevitable casualties to Roosevelt coattail riders, minimiz ed Republican claims of wide-spread anti-New Deal sentiment. They were equally determined to use all the vast, resources at their command to cop tinue national domination beyond the next two years. Os the major races, at least one re mained in doubt today. In lowa, for mer Senator Lester J. Dickinson, Re publican, and Senator Guy Gillette, were in a neck-and-neck contest. Aside from this, the latest returns from the 47 State elections gave this picture of the overturn: Republicans who went to the cam paign with only seven* governorships, came out with 18. Os those won Tues day, nine previously had been held fey Democrats, one by a Farmer-Laboritie, and one by a Progressive. ‘' 1 i/ The bailed harvest gave the Repub lican efght Senate seats, including eight held by Democrats.

With all but eight House races de cided, the Republicans had elected 166 members, compared to 88 in tfee present House. (There was one Re publican vacancy.) Os the seats they picked up, 70 came from .the Demo crats, five from the Progressives ahd two from the Farmer-Labor party. Richberg’s Rail Act Is Bridging Gap By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist (Washington, Nov. 10. —If the rail roads and their workers settle their wage argument without a strike (they have until Decern- ber to come to an agreement) > Donald R.

It was an admirably-drafted law, as has been proved by its effectiveness heretofore. The Wagner Act, creating the Labor Relations Board, wai just as well intended, but it isn’t operat ing as satisfactorily. The newer Wage hour law isn’t asserting itself as smoothly as Richberg’s legislative con coction did. It may presently g*et to working perfectly, but intiially there is a bit of friction. Richberg’s i plan slid into action without a partible of it. It remains to be seen how will stand its current test, between now and December. However, the prqspect is pretty good. The Richberg system promises to hold water. Os course the fuilroad managements wail that they were done a terrible injustice by the mediators’ decision against a wage cut, and can, if they choose, go ahead with it, precipitating a strike. But they know that public opinion will be overwhelmingly against them. As to public opinion? It hasn’t been much perturbed. Time was when the , threat of a national railroad strikef trike would have scared this country into hysteria. Not now, though; there has been general confidence in that .Rich • berg law.
