Democrat. West Virginia, who objected as a "matter of principle". Hoit made his objection despite pleas of Democratic Leader Bark ley. Democrat. Kentucky, and Senators Burke. Democrat, Xe biaska. and Clark. Democrat, Missouri, that he permit immedi ate confirmation by unanimous consent. The chamber then agreed to meet tomorrow t«> consider the nomination. I'nanhnous consent will not be required at that time. Holt said he had no "personal objection" to the appointment of Dykstra. that In fact he con sidered it to be "one of the good appointments of the President," but that he did not "like the idea of the Senate confirming a man without the people having an op- I portunity to protest if they so de sire."

Oct. 14.—(AP)—A huge four-engincd German bomber which flew over a London suburb today was unofficially reported to have crashed after being crippled by anti aircraft lire.

B.V HilNRY A« EKILL Raleigh, Oct. 14.—When Governor, Clyde li. Hoey goes out of office early next January he will retire with increased confidence in the peo-. pie of North Carolina. The converse is equally true—the people of North Carolina will have increased confidence in Governor Clyde R. Hoey when he goes out of! office early next January. Not 'hat either governor or peo-j pie viewed the other with serious | mistrust in January, 1937, when the] son of Shelby took over the task of guiding tiie state's destinies; but sim ply that the Hoey conduct of this! task has uuide him. the most popular) state figure of modern times. It is doubtful th;:t any other Tar Heel has caught the popular fancy to such un extent since Zeb Vance. Governor Hoey himself is author ity for his increased feeling of con fidence and respect for the people. "Throughout my administration I have had the finest sort of coopera tion from state and local officials, from the press and the radio; but. above all. the people of the state have been great. All my life I have felt that the people judge aright when they have all the facts before them. My term as governor has only heightened this feeling." he said in substance in a frank summing up. Illustrating the complete harmony within the state administration, he i cited the astonishing fact that not 1 a single negative vote has been cast by a member of the'Council of State in considering any proposal during ' th»- Hoey term. The Council, inci der.tal'y, >s not composed of guber natorial appointees, but p'Tneipallv of offici;: Is Hoeted by and respon sible ''P.!y to the people. The pians 1'or the future arc clour and eonci o, but involve no' long-range political program. Ho tolct your reporter he will go back to< Shelby and resume his practice of law just as soon as he quits the Gov-1 ernor's Mansion. Queried as to the possibility he will to.^s a hat into the senatorial ringi against Dob Reynolds in 1944. he ex hibited no false modesty, but gave absolutely no indication that he now intends to make that race. He pointed out that the three of fices he has held-—member of the state legislature way back when, I congressman just after the World War. and governor—were attained without any long prc-campaign1 planning. Ho more or less intends] to let things rock along and be guid-l ed by circumstances as they turn up. I He indicated that if there were a present vacancy in the Senate, or any campaign in Immediate prospect, he would be a very likely entrant; but that was the limit of his admissions of political ambition. The next senatorial campaign will be in 1942 when Senator .Josiah W Bailey comes up again, but that will be the East's time under the rota tion system and Governor Hoey. as a result, cannot in the normal course of events make a try before 1944. That's a long time off and there is no way to tell how things will then he shaping up: but there's little doi'bt that as of today the Governor could rout even the redoubtable vote getting Reynolds. Governor Heey went into office after one of the bitterest primary campaigns of this century in North Carolina. There wore literally scores of thousands who looked on him with distrust, if not with anger and hatred. He will go out of office without a single audible foe.

Oct. 14.—(AD- Tl tlv hail ed as her second nnval 1r:umnh of the war a high command claim that light warships and planes sank one F.ritish cruiser, damaged another and hit an aircraft carrier in a violent day night night battle off the island of Malta. The high command admitted the loss of a destroyer and two torpedo boats in the encounter, but claimed victory because, they said, the Brit ish lo«s amounted to 7.000 tons to only 2.600 tons for the fascist force. (Authoritative sources hi London acknowledged the possibility of a Mediterranean clash, but sa<d they had no information to bear out the Italian claims.) In another communique the high command said British planes hod at tacked the fort of Porto Lago on Leros, one of the Dodecanese islands in the Aegean, "scoring adircct hit on a Catholic church and other civil ian buildings and killing altogether 34 persons and injuring 20 without considerable damage military ob jectives.

(AP)—President Roosevelt's Colum bus day address brought editorial ap proval today. One newspaper said "the speech was inspired by the ideals ol' liberty, j equality and Christian brotherhood i which makes the American countries the goal of those who suffer prose cution." 'Although we now prepare our selves to face danger," the paper said, "war has never been the Amer ican ideal." Another said, "in the European nations where the thirst lor conquest and vengeance prevails, liberty, which is happiness, cannot flourish. The liberty so dear to Amercans is being defended by only one nation j and if she is defeated wo shall suffer ; the bitter consequences." In Berlin, authoritative Germans i said President Roosevelt's speech on ! American defense was addressed ! chiefly to North and South America i and commented "we already know ■ his attitude." "We wonder," these sources said ! "how far one can go helping a bcl- | •liferent and yet remain neutral. That, however, is for Americans to decide." Shots Are Fired By Demonstrators Budapest. Oct. 14.— (AP)—Several hundred pistol shots were fired by demonstrators last night at the homes of British residents and of British military and naval attaches in Bu charest. according to reports pub lished here today. One window was said to have been broken out, but no one was injured. A Belgrade newspaper reported that the British telephoned police i who were quoted as saying the shots | were fired by Iron Guardi>t< from j a neighboring villa at suspicious ehcuueters.

(Central Press) North Carolina's Drive For Industries Intended To Avoid War Boom Firms Daily I>:sj>alc?i Bureau, In the Sir Uoiel. BY HENRY AVER ILL. Raleigh, Oct. 14.—So far as the Division of Commerce and Industry is concerned, North Carolina's drive for industrial plants will be concern trated on attracting those which will not fold up simultaneously with end of a war, J. T. Anderson, director of this important branch of the Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment, said today. Mr. Anderson does not scoff ;it ammunition making plants, high ox plosive factories and others which spring up like mushrooms whenever war breaks out or even threatens, but he does feel that it is better economic practice to land a S5,fM)0, 000 plant which will operate, war or no war. than a S50.000.000 industrial setup which would fold as soon as the last gun is fired. Pie therefore is centering the ac tivities of his division in an effort to induce plants lor which the state is prepared (textiles lor the mostj part) to handle in peace or in war.j He points out that there is in thej state as large a supply of labor, forj instance, appropriate to the textile industry as there is in other states! for the industries which may be ap propriate there; and he cites figures i on government contract awards to show that there is a tremendous op- j portunity in the textile field al'>nc. He produced just one day's release I of contracts awarded, showing thatj the War Department placed contract for no less than S3.500.000 worth of cotton sheets, cotton mattresses and! cotton mosquito nets alone. Sadly! enough, there was only one North Carolina firm on the long list <>i tho.-ej to which contracts went—and that] was the Spray branch of Marshall' Field & Co.. for a mere S34.000 worth of cotton mattresses. Despite this ignoring of the stale j (and the entire South, for that mat ter) in the award of these contracts, j Mr. Anderson sees a l ine opportunity.; His view is that the increased busi ness of the New York. Pennsylvania , and Massachusetts firms who got; these orders will cause them to look! around for room in which t,i expand.! as their current facilities are likely to j be inadequate. Then will come North j Carolina's chance. With this thought in his mind. Mr. j Anderson is making full usr of the daily list of contracts awarded. H.' looks them over carefully, decides which types of industries an* repre sented and which North <' iri equipped to handle. Then he -it. down and dictates a !en< . to each firm selected, retting out ii,c fact such, for example, a: thai there are available ;il moderate cost in North Carolina, buildings to house the in dustry represented, trained labor .sufficient to man the plants if es tablished. adequate sources of raw materials close at hand, and the like. Naturally the defense program has not yet proceeded far enough to give any real indication of what success will attend these efforts on the part of Mr. Anderson's division; but he I eels that he is on the right track. He admit: 'hat nobody can even make a tentative forecast of economic condition which will e.xiVt after a war */i- even a preparedness boom, (Continued on Page Four; Cotton Prices Continue Low New York, Oct. 14 — (AI')—Cot ton futures opened 1 to 3 lower.
