Mullens, W. Va., Nov. 6. (AP) —Four men were reported killed and one injured in an explosion today at the mine of the Brulle Smokeless Coal Company in nearby Otsego. Official comment from the company was lacking, but per sons near the scene said the “local gas explosion caught five men in a room” of the mine. At noon, rescue crews were attempting to reach the men, caught deep in the pit behind a slate fall, but there was little hope they would be alive.

Distressed Ship At Hatteras Safe New York, Nov. 6. — (AP) Maekay Radio reported today that the steamship Vamar was out of danger after a tropical storm had caused her lumber cargo to shift in the dangerous waters north of Cape Hatteras. The 598-ton vessel, formerly one of the ships used by Admiral Richard Byrd in his polar ex plorations, sent out an SOS early today, and the freighter El Mun do reached her at 9:10 a. m., eastern standard time to find the Vamar’s crew' dumping her deckload of lumber. Court Holds HOI XT Not Due to Pay For Mortgage Filings Washington, Nov. 6. (AP) Deciding another conflict be tween Federal and State power, the Supreme Court ruled today that mortgages on Maryland property executed to the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation were not subject to State documane tary and recording taxes. The government contended that the HOLC “is an instru mentality of the United States”, engaged in the functions of the Federal government and that State taxation “is precluded by constitutional limitation”. In reply, the State argued that the taxes customarily are paid by the mortgagor and that any burden on the HOLC “as an instrumentality of the United States was speculative, remote and uncertain, if it ex isted at all.” VANCE COUNTY MAN IS GRANTED PAROLE Raleigh, Nov. 6.—(AP) —Governor Hoey today granted a parole to Gra ham Evans, sentenced to four to seven years imprisonment in Vance county in January, 1938, for highway robbery. against White House wishes, as any anti-repeal Republican. The anti-administration Democrats might have been expected to be solidly against repeal, simply because the administration was asking for it, but they’ve been split also. For in stance, Senators Clark of Missouri and Glass of Virginia have been rat ed as anti-New Dealers, despite their Democratic labels. They disagreed as to the arms embargo, however. Clark opposed repeal as vigorously as Re publican Senator Nye of North Da kota, who invented the embargo. Glass has been an equally vigorous repealist. President Roosevelt knew he couldn’t prevent a neutrality fight, but urged the scrappers to waive partisanship, on the well-known ground that politics ought to “enc at the water’s edge.” The lawmakers (Continued on Page Three.)

The agreement is the 22nd' nr>eohat ed by the United States and the eleventh to be concluded with Amer ican republics. Details will be an nounced later today. The State Department disclosed that the general provisions and the schedules of concessions would en ter provisionally into force Decem ber 16, pending ratification of the agreement by the Venezuelan gov ernment. The agreement will enter into force 30 days after exchange of the instruments of ratification of the Venezuelan government and the pro clamation of the agreement by Presi dent Roosevelt.

In the Sir Walter Hotel. i Raleigh, Nov. 6.—Announcement of John Cassey, of Greensboro, that he will run for Congress from the sixth district has more angles than the or dinary hat tossing act of a politician who has “heard the voice of the peo ple” and decided he’d like a SIO,OOO a year (with perquisities and pap) in Washington. To begin with, it likely means a repetition of the 1038 sixth district congressional primary, which was as mixed up as the North Carolina laws about slot machines, and makes it extremely difficult at this stage of the game to predict who will even tually hit the jackpot. On the other har«*, 4 perhaps sim plifies the campaign for speaker of the 1941 House, though this is by no means a certain result. On the face of things, it would seem to en hance greatly the chances of Rowan’s George Uzziell; but there’s nothing sure about that, because the Cassey decision to try the grazing in other political pastures may be just the in centive needed to put anywhere up to a dozen other representatives to running. But above everything else, it pro bably is the best news that Car] Dur ham, incumbent from the sixth, has heard in a long time. It obviously in creases his chances for re-election. (Contnued on Page Seven.) Annenberg Wire Service Will Be Continued While Chicago, Nov. 6.—(AP) —U. S. District Attorney William J. Camp bell agreed today to a temporary continuance of the telephone wire service to M. L. Annenberg’s horse race Information bureaus. The Illinois Bell Telephone Com pany had been prepared to with draw its facilities at noon. A short time before the deadline, Nation wide News Service of Illinois, Inc., petitioned the Federal court for an injunction restraining cancellation of the contract. Later, attorneys for both side? stipulated the telephone company’s service would be maintained until at least noon Thursday, when the American Telepnone & Telegraph Company and the Western Union planned to withdraw their facili ties. In addition to the suit against Illinois Bell. Annenberg’s attorneys filed a similar action in behalf of the Nationwide News Service of Delaware, Inc., against the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany. UJpjclUwi FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

(Central Press) Economic Upswing In 1940 May Lower Federal Subsidies Farmers Expected to Receive Larger incomes Than This Year; Demand For Government Aid Expected to Be Reduced. Washington, Nov. 6.—(AP) —Of- ficial prediction that 1940 would bring a moderate industrial and business improvement led farm leaders to speculate today on the possibility that the next session of Congress may be able to reduce government subsidies to agricul ture. The Bureau of Agricultural Eco nomics, in its annual outlook re port, said that farmers are expected to receive a larger cash income from their products in 1940 than in 1939. French Oust Germans From Rhine Island Paris, Nov. 6.—(AP)— Military sources reported today that German troops had occupied a small'island in the Rhine, only to be driven back to their own bank of the river by ire from heavy mortars. The German units crossed to the unidentified islands on the hitherto quiet southern flank of the western ,ront before French observers noted their presence. The French fire sent sarth and brush flying into the air, it Wps said, and the Germans hastily withdrew. German casual ties, if any, were not disclosed. Patrol skirmishes and artillery action was general on both sides along the 100-mile southern flank, but French attention was riveted to ihe south because of the apparently first German attempt to cross the Rhine, a natural barrier between the opposing armies in that area. A strong German force attempted to storm a French post in the Vos (Continued on Page Three.; Wife Is Held For Fatal Shooting of Tabor City Man Tabor City, Nov. 6. — (AP) Claude Norris, 37. member of a prominent family here, died in a Tabor City hospital this morning of pistol wounds which Coroner C.

He said the shooting occurred during' an argument over a pin table at a village station. PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY. “A slightly larger volume of marketings will be disposed of at higher prices”, the bureau forecast. The last Congress appropriated approximately one billion dollars I for subsidies to finance crop con it! ol programs and for removal of price depressing surpluses. While Federal farin officials declined to give any figures for 1940 subsidies, they said that if the predictions of better prices and enlarged markets for farm products were borne out, the demand for government finan cial aid would not be so great as it has been for several years. Flint Waits Orders For Her Sailing Olso, Norway, Nov. 6. —(AP) — Her freedom assured by Norway’s rejection of German protests, the United States freighter City of Flint idled at anchor today awaiting a decision where her strange voyage would take her next. It was apparent that Norwegian officials, anxious over the possibil ity that Germany might make an issue of the case, would like to see the ship outside Norwegian waters bound for anywhere. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman. United States minister to Norway, was ex pected to confer at Bergen today with the United States consul there, Maurice Dunlap, and Captain Jo seph Gainard, master of the City of Flint. One rumor was that the ship’s (Continued on Page Three) World War Mayor Os Brussels, Who Defied Huns, Dies Brussels, Belgium, Nov. 6. (AP) — Adolf Max, burgomaster of Brussels, who was imprisoned by Germany during the World War, and who has held office co r finuously ever since, died today at the age of 70. Max had been burgomaster of Brussels since 1909, but he first won world fame for his stubborn resist ance to German invaders in August, 1914. Refusing even to shake hands with the German commander, Max con tinuously protested infringement of Belgian civil rights and slept in his office rather than surrender his au thority. But in September the Ger mans arrested him and kept him in a German prison until the war was was over. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY Soviet Plea Directed At Bourgeois Called on “To Go Against” Those Fa voring Further Im perialist War; Berlin Promises Intensified Sea Warfare. Moscow, Nov. 6. (AP)— Premier - Foreign Commissar Vyaschelot'f Molotoff today as sailed the United States for re pealing the arms embargo, as serting it was “only a mask to cover this struggle for profit.” In a speech opening a three day celebration of the bolshevik revolution’s 22nd anniversary, Molotoff also attacked Britain and France, accusing them of wishing to prolong their war against Germany. Berlin, Nov. 6. (AP) —Dis- appointment over the fact that the United States’ vast war re serves were made available to the Allies by repeal of the arms embargo act became apparent today from the tone of morning paper editorials and inspired pronouncements. Nevertheless, comment on the United States action in lifting the embargo was somewhat re strained, but intensified sea warfare appeared a likely con sequence. The implication was that Congress failed to establish that neutrality which President Roosevelt claimed was the pur pose of the legislation sponsored by himself. The word “un neutral”, however, was not di rectly used. All commentators drew par allels between the action of Congress and earlier utterances of Mr. Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull. Moscow, Nov. G—(AP) —The Com munist Internationale today attacked (Continued on Page Seven) Mass Bombing Not Probable At Early Date London, Nov. G.—(AP) —British ri ilitary experts predicted today that* large scale long range bomb ing attacks' in this war would await development of “distance” fighting onvoys. These sources contended that Germany’s, ew “exploratory” raids on Britain’s naval anchorages had proved that bombers not in convoy were too vulnerable to fast attack planes for profitable mass bombing forays. The average bombing fighting planes, it was said, might have a range of 650 miles without refuel ing. It is about 300 miles from the British Isles to Germany. This is too far, it was said, for a safe margin for maneuvering of invading fight ing pianos. This source added that “most, of os believe that enmass long range bombing will wait until the fighters catch up in their staying abilities with the bombers. There were hints that steps were being taken in this direction. L. S. U. Head To Make Plea Os Guilty Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 6.—(AP) Counsel for Dr. James Monroe Smith, former Louisiana State University president summoned to trial today on a forgery charge involving Univer sity bonds, announced in court that the educator would plead guilty this afternoon. Court recessed until 2 p. m. when it was reported that Smith was suf fering an attack of nervous indiges tion. Walter B. Hamlin, Smith’s attor ney, said his client would throw him self on the mercy of the court. Ham lin said an arrangement had been worked out with District Attorney Dewey Franchez whereby Smith wouid plead guilty to one of each type of charge contained in more than two dozen indictments returned against the former L. S. U. president.
