Washington, Nov. 25. (AP) Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Michigan, gave qualified endorse ment today to the idea broached by President Roosevelt of levying spec ial taxes to pay for emergency de fense costs. At his press conference at Warm Springs, Ga., yesterday, Mr. Roose velt posed for public discussion whether such outlays should be placed on a pay-as-you go basis with special taxes to pay for them, or met by further borrowing, with no new taxes. Senator Vanderberg, a member of the Senate Far nee Committee, which handles tax legislation ,told reporters he agreed emphatically that extraordinary defense expendi tures should be on a “pay-as-you go” basis. Such outlays, he added, should be “paralleled by special taxes to pay for thqm,” because of the “obvious reason that sound pub lic credit is the greatest national defense neecssily of all.” But Senator King, of Utah, rank ing Democratic member of the same committee, said he opposed “enormous expenditures for the army and navy,” and any plans to “compartmentalize’ ’the budget lest it lead to larger appropriations. Romeo and Juliet Romance Dwindles To Guessing Game New York, Nov. 25.—(AP) —The Romeo-Juliet romance of Alien Her rick and George Lowther 111, whose names are separated by only 62 pages of the social register and a front page dispute, turned into a guessing game today. The chief point of conjecture was the whereabouts of Juliet, because she had left the hospital, where Judge Isidor Wacservogel had ord ered her to stay for ten days rest— -1 anH meditation upon matrimony. All of the guesses centered about the twilight hour at 5 p. m.—the ex piration hour for the ten-day love affair truce, ordered by the justice. After that, Alien will’ be free to flee into the arms of the waiting George or stay home with papa and mama.

Hollywood, Cal., Nov. 25.—(AP) —The "motion picture industry braced itself today for the shock of a strike call, which AFL union leaders said would close every film theatre in the United States and Canada. Failing to wrangle a ten percent wage increase for 23,000 studio tech nicians, William Bioff, chairman of the conference of studio unions, an nounced that he would call today a “general strike throughout the entire motion picture industry.” The hour of the walkout was not announced. Bioff’s declaration followed a eon (Continued on Page Five) Illness Growing From Large Party At Thanksgiving Cincinnati, Nov. 25. (AP) The number of persons stricken by illness after attending the nation’s “largest Thanksgiving party” rose to 46 today after ad mission of 14 more patients to Cincinnati hospitals. Dr. Carl Wilzbach, city health com missioner, ordered a chemical analysis of food served to 22,000 guests at the 39th annual dinner sponsored by God’s Bible School. Dr. Wilzbach said none of those stricken was in serious condition. Increased Federal Pensions To Aged By Congress Sought Government's Contri- j bution Toward Pay ments in Low Income States to Be Re quested ; Amendment Is to Be Offered. Washington. Nov. 25. — (AP) —i Chairman Harri on, Democrat. Mis souri, disclosed today that Congress would be asked again to increase the Federal contribution toward old age assistance payments in low income states. Harrison said he thought that an j amendment to the social security act similar to that proposed by Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas, and ap proved by the Senate last session, would have strong support in Con gress. Under the Connally amendment, which was rejected by a joint Sen ate-House committee, the Federal government would have contributed ! $2 for every $1 put up by the states in paying the first sls a month to! indigent needy. Above the sls total, the Federal government would have matched State funds dollar for dol lar. Congress changed the law last ses- I sion to permit the government to match state funds, equally up to a point where the state contribution was S2O, thus authorizing total pay ments of S4O beginning January 1. The Federal government now is con iriouting a maximum of sls a month, which has been matched fully only by California. Chrysler Strike Negotiations Are In Stalemate Now Detroit, Mich., Nov. 25. (AP) Formal negotiations seeking a settlement of the pro tracted Chrysler labor dispute were in adjournment today, but State and Federal conciliators continued their search for a peace formula that would re turn some 150,000 automotive workers to their jobs. The negotiations are dead locked on the issues of union wage demands, and a stipula tion by the corporation that the request of a CIO foreman’s • union for a bargaining con ference will not be renewed. Rebel Police Cleaning Up W. Va., Town Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 25. (AP) —Spectacular raids by eight “rebel” policemen operating without orders and on their own time today clamped the lid on vice in West Vir ginia’s largest city.

Mildred Setzler, infantile paralysis patient, was able to leave a hospital and come home for the Thanksgiving holidays—because she has good neighbors.

Raleigh, Nov. 25.—Raleigh’s poli tical gossip mill, moving into high gear shortly after the Monday morn ing quarterbacks had finished their discussion of the big game at Dur ham, has all this week been grinding out the report that Lieutenant Gov ernor Wilkins P. Horton, one of the six or more suspected candidates for governor, will never announce. So far the subject of this specula tion and reporting has had nothing to say on the subject, no doubt held back by the fact that he never had said he is going to run (that is, he never has said it for publication), and therefore hardly feels called up on to issue a formal statement den} - i 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY To Continue Seizure Os Enemy Goods London Holds to De termination to Inten sify Economic War on Germany; Trawlers And Minesweepers Patrol Trade Routes. London, Nov. 25.—(AP) —Mount- ing neutral protests failed to sway Great Britain today from her de termination to intensity her eco nomic war on Germany by seizing German exports. The list of countries which, have made or plan to make representa tions against the British decision include The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Japan, Sweden and Denmark. The last three were added today. The only great powers among the neutrals who have not indicated tneir attitude are the United States and Soviet Russia. There were indications that Brit ain would reply that protests should be addressed to Germany, whose mine campaign, the British asserted, called for ihe export blockade. Great Britain, striving to protect her t(tipping against German offen sive sea warfare, appealed to her fishermen to aid in the hazardous task of sweeping English coastal waters clear of mines. While a fleet of trawlers and mine sweepers combed the sea lanes for explosives the British said Nazi warplanes planted, the royal navy issued an urgent call to deep sea fishermen between the ages of 18 and 45 to volunteer their ser v’ces. The call was issued as the government prepared to deal with the expressions of concern from neutral countries over the decision to seize German exports. (In Tokyo, the Japanese foreign ollicc today threatened counter measures against the British pro gram, which it said violated assur ances given Japan by the British government.

Ship Losses Almost Equal To 1917 Toll (By The Associated Press.) The increased rate at which Brit ish and neutral shipping has been •destroyed by mines in the last week affords n parallel to the German navy’s mine offensive of 1917, which threatened Great Britain’s sea life line by sinking 170 ships. So successful was the 1917 mine laying that during April the Allies lost a mine sweeper a day attempt ing to clear the shipping lanes. By comparison, the current out break of submarine and mine ac tivity has sent 27 ships to the bot tom since last Saturday, raising to 153 vessels the losses of belligerent and neutral nations so far in this war. Os the total, Britain has lost 83, Germany 15, France nine, and neu tral nations 46. Forty-six ships have been reported sunk this month, 60 were destroyed in September and 47 in October. At least 2,033 persons have been killed or drowned in the war at sea, and 120 more are missing. ing he’ll do something he never has announced he would do. Behind the reports that the Num ber Two Tar Heel will not try to step up to the Number One slot un doubtedly lies in the general impres sion among politicians that it now appears definite that Horton will not get the organized and vigorous sup port from the State administration that it had previously been assum ed he would get. The reasoning runs about like this: Horton never would have thought, of running unless h eexpected ad ministic tion support, and now that it does not seem likely he will get that on Page Five)
