June 25.—(AP) — Sccrctary Wallace approved to day plans for a farmer election July 20 on flue-cured tobacco marketing quotas for 1941, 1942, and 1913. The election will be held un der recently approved amend ments to the agriculture adjust ment act to permit marketing quota periods of more than one year. It will be held in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia. Florida and Alabama. Under the recent amendment, farmers will chose a marketing quota applying to the 1941 crop or one applying to the three-year period. Husband Held In Death Of Wife, Children Norfolk, Vu., June 25.—(AP)— Commonwealth Attorney A. C). Lynch said today Charles C. Sanderlin, 64 year old egg peddler, was being held for investigation in connection with the slaying ol' his wife and 4hree children. The four bodies were found hanging in a chicken house on their Norfolk county farm yesterday. Coroner L. C. Ferebee found the deaths resulted from strangulation. Evidence indicated, Deputy Sher iff Frank Wilson said, that Mrs. Snn derlin, 28, and the children—Char les C.. Jr., 7; Louise 5 1-2, and Joalicc, 6 months—may have been killed elsewhere and their bodies placed in the chicken house. Sandcrlin went to a nearby village and told officers he had discovered the bodies, relating that he had been ill in bed and had last seen his wife about five hours before the discovery. No "Freshmen" In State's Congressional Delegation Daily Disputcli Bureau, , In the Sir Walter Hotel. Iialcigh, June 25.—Victory of W. 0. Burgin of Davidson in a second pri mary against C. B. Deane last Satur day insures that there will be no freshman in the North Carolina dele gation to the 77th Congress, barring death or, what is much less probable, a political upset which would put aj Republican in the group. This is in considerable contrast to the case two years ago when three new members were selected—Burgin, Carl Durham from the Sixth and Lon Folger from the Fifth. None of that three went in by winning over a sitting member, and this year's results leave the Bailey Simmons senatorial race of 1930 and the Reynolds-Morrison upper house battle of 1932 as the oniy instances j within memory ol the younger gen oration wherein an incumbent was defeated for renomination—and Mor rison had not been elected by the people, but was serving by appoint ment. When the eleven North Carolina House members start their term for the 77th Congress next January they will have behind them a total sen ice ol' 134 years (67 terms) prior service, an average of slightly more than twelve years apiece; though of course the service is by no means evenly distributed. On the contrary it will run from R. L. (Farmer Bob) Doughton's full thirty years down to the two put in so far by Folger, Durham anS Bur gin. Next to Doughton, in continuous (Continued on Page Seven) Dispute Causes Hoov er to Postpone Com pletion of Address Scheduled for To night; Candidates Continue Campaigns. Philadelphia, June 25.—(AP)— Summoning l>i> party to oppose "gov ernmental absolutism" Representative Joseph W. M;irtin of Massachusetts took charge of the Republican na tional convention today in the midst of a row over foreign policy which fell across the course of Former President Herbert Hoover's address tonight. Martin, as permanent chairman, called upon Republicans to rally be hind the constitution and bar "Tro jan Horses" from the government. The foreign policy dispute devel oped in the resolutions committee which sought to reconcile views of I advocates of aid to the allies and > those staunchly battling '"interven tion ism." In the tumult over candidates nnd foreign policy, Hoover delayed com-1 pletion of his speech until late in the day. He is 011 the program to ad dress his party just before the plat- j form is taken up for adoption. Martin gaveled the cheering con- 1 vention rapidly through adoption of! a series of committee reports. Tt j adopted rules thought likely to trim ' drastically southern representation in future conventions. The nomination fight tightened, with a statement from Thomas E. ! Dewey's manager and from former j Gov ernor Henry J. Allen of Kansas j denying delegates were falling away 1 from Dewey and with Wendell Will- j kie moving from delegation to dele- ! gation in a personal effort to counter J "stop Willkie" talk. Headquarters of Frank F,. Gannett.1 New York publisher, claimed a bloc of 25 votes. Supporters of Senator Taft of Ohio had in no way slowed their drive. Martin told the convention th&t every ideal of Americanism was im periled by those who would make the government and nation tools to be manipulated by one man at the head of an unelectcd political bureaucracy. ( German> Publishes j Armistice Terms j Berlin. June 25.—(AP)—Ger many published the terms of her armistice with France at 8:15 ton iff lit (1:45 p. m. c.s.t.)

June LI5.—(AP)—Prime Minister Churchill .old commons to day the French hid broken their promises not to let tneir fleet fall in to enemy hands, bir. in the house of lords Viscount Ca'decote, dominion secretary, said Churchill would not his efforts to retain French naval help. Churchill, making his sixth war report to commons, made no refer ence to the whereabouts of the French fleet, but said it was clear that French war vessels under this armistice passed into German or Italian control. Caldecote summed up the situation thus briefly: "The prime minister will relax no effort to secure that French ships will not continue to serve the cause for which thev have been employed so many months." Churchill .'aid he had made it clear to the French that the British would £o on fighting and that he had made it plain to the Petain government that the conditions indispensible to French release from their agreement with the British had not been com plied with. A dispatch from Alexandria said units of the French fleet stationed at that British naval base flew their flags at half-mast today in com pliance with a French government order for a day of mourning. (This dispatch indicated that thus far these ships have not obeyed the reported stipulation of the armistice that all French naval vessels return to home ports for disarming or in ternment.) North Carolina GOP Leaning Toward James Philadelphia, June 25.— (AP)—One of the largest southern delegations to the Republican national convention— the 23-vote North Carolina group— visited Governor Arthur H. James at his hotel suite today and a spokesman said later the delegates were "very favorable impressed" with the Penn sylvania governor. Colin G. Spenccr of Carthage, N. C., emphasized that the delegation is "entirely unpledged." but added: "Governor James has retrieved the heart of the Republican party in Pennsylvania. Our delegation feels I very kindly toward him."

Charles de Gaulle Under Secretary of War in the war cabinet of former Premier Paul Reynaud, General Charles de Gaulle i formed a "French National Com mittee" in London to continue the war against Germany. The Petain government of France stripped him of his rank for combatting the peace with Hitler, but American support | for the government-in-exile was foreseen. Nazis Wait Next Phase "We're Sailing Against England" Is German Theme Song As French War Ends Berlin. June 25.—(AP)—Ger- J ninny's population. which for six weeks had watched anxiously yet confidently the progress of the battle of France, cheered the cor.elu'ion of that war today and waited for the next phase—the baitle for England. | "We're sailing against England"] sang men and women. Bands play ed the song against a background of j peeling bells—acclaiming what the high command called "an incompar able victory." In a fresh gesture, apparently de signed to erase the memories of the 1918 defeat. Adolf Miller named Wiesbaden as the seat of a new French-German armistice commis sion—Wiesbaden. where the French army of Rhineland occupation had its headquarters. General Heinrieh von Stuelpnagel was named chairman. The fighting in Franee had ceas ed at 1:35 a. m. and to the end, the high command said, the Germans I had continued their thundering ad vance.-. reaching Rayon at the mouth of the Girondc on the Atlantic coast.

Juno 25.— (AP> —The State government prepared today to close its books at midnight Sunday on its most prosperous year. Revenue collections from the gen eral fund June 1 had already reach ed a total in excess of any previous fiscal year and this month's receipts have boosted the record margin. Highway revenues are at record levels. Complete collection statistics for the fiscal year through June 18 show ed tb.pt income taxes were $11,825, 363.37. The sales tax receipts this year were SI 1.977.935.03, compared to a previous high ot $11,320,245 in 1936-37. Gasoline taxes brought in $25. 408,000 iij) to June 18, as the state had its first fiscal year with an aver age of belter than 82.000,000 a month from that source. Last year the tax brought in S23,852,056, a record up to then. The revenues will insure a sur plus woli in excess of the $1,307,580 estimated in 1938 as the probable general fund carryover June 30 this year. That amount was estimated to be available only if $2,500,000 in highway revenue had been diverted. There was no highway diversion as better business brought :n record re venues to cxiict the' Hostilities End Quietly On Schedule Some Five Million French, German and Italian Soldiers Quiet ly Obey Order To "Cease Firing"; Nazis Bomb England. (By The Associated I'ress) German and British bombing planes struck with renewed fury to day as peace filled the buttle fields of France and a total of some 5,000, 000 French, German and Italian sol diers quietly obeyed the "cease fir ing" order. There were few outbursts of joy— none of the whooping shouts that marked the end of the hostilities in the World War on November 11, 1918. Italian infantrymen merely stack ed their rifles and sat down on the mountainside to drink hot coffee and wine. Artillerymen left their still smoking cannon to join their com rades. Some Italians called across the Alpine snow to French troops, but there was no answer. • The combined nazi-fascist on slaught against France halted at 1:35 a. m. today (6:35 p. m. e.s.t. yester day) with the terms of the axis arm istice still undisclosed officially. According to best available figures, France originally had 2.780,000 sol diers engaged in the conflict. Ger many sent some 2.000.000 men into France and Italy about 750.000. Cas ualty figures were still unavailable. The German high command an nounced that in the last day of fight ing Hitler's armies continued to ad vance.

Washington. June 25.—(AP) — President Roosevelt signed into law today a $4,692,500,000 tax bill to pay for the huge national defense ap propriations of the recent congres sional session. Dipping into the pockets of an es timated 2,000,000 additional income tax payers for the first time and boosting existing taxes on nearly everything but chewing tobacco, the measure was designed to raise the $4,692,500,000 over five years—$715, 300,000 in the fiscal year beginning July 1. and $994,300,000 in each of the following four years. The measure also increased the federal debt limit from $45,000,000, 000 to $49,000,000,000, authorizing the treasury to sell $4,000,000,00(1 in spe cial "national defense notes" to pay for armaments until the taxes come in. Income tax payers will bear the heaviest part of the increase—$319, 000,000 in the next fiscal year and $530,000,000 each year for four years. After them will come the millions of Americans who will pay an extra penny or extra dollar on such things as cigarettes, playing cards, theatre admission, automobiles, radios, tiolei preparations, liquor and beer. On top of all other income taxes was added for live years a "super tax" of ten percent. Under this tax, ■\ tax payer will figure out what he nves to the government and then add u llat ten percent.
