This program, to cost possible S2, 000,000.000, was described as separ ate from the 12.000 warplanc order which President Roosevelt said last night Great Britain was contemplat ing. Recent conferences of William S. Knudsen, defense commission in charge of production, with automo bile industry leaders were concerned with plans for the new bomber pro duction.

North Carolina Federation Of Labor Opens Early lis 1941 Legislative Campaign Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir \\':»I»«»r Hotel. By HEXRY AVERILL Kaleigh, Oct. 31.—North Carolina's Federation of Labor has grabbed time by the forelock and has launch ed its legislative campaign more than two months ahead of the General As sembly's convening date. President C. A. Fink of Salisbury is known to feel that setbacks of the 1939 legislative session were due very largely to the fact that many of the law makers were unacquainted with Labor's program. There wasn't time or opportunity to make them familiar with it. once the session was under way. with the result that most of the Federation's net projects were rather jru-queiy rejected. With this in mind the Federation president has prepared a pamphlet setting out the entire legislative pro gram his organization will back this time; and has sent copies of it to every candidate for the Senate and • -- Republican as well as Dem ocrats. .utiine^ in;;:.U'U oi the Lo£is latino .. have not been fully in formed of conditions surrounding the lives of some of the citizens of their state, and therefore the Legislature ... have failed through this lack of information to provide nrnnr 'i rightful protection to some of the citizens of the State." nm> a si.w tence in an introductory page of the pamphlet. Featured in the program, as in 1939. is enactment of a State mini mum wage and maximum hour law, modeled on the Federal statute. Whether the Federation will ask for the same standards as are in the Federal law is not stated. Of such a statute the pamphlet says: '•With such splendid protection of workers in North Carolina who are so fortunate as to be employed by business engaged in interstate com merce, it is inconceivable that the great St; te ol North Carolina will longer permit those thou.-anas of iContinued on Page Four) Warren Ends Long Career For New Post Washington, Oct. 31.—(AP)—Re presentative Lindsay C. Wanm <>!' the First North Carolina district closed an outstanding I (5-year Con gressional career today to embark on a i5-year term a.-* comptroller gen eral of the United States—one of the top ranking posts in the federal gov ' eminent. Re-elected without opposition for seven consecutive sessions since he was first named to Congress in 1924 to develop into one of its leaders, Warren resigned earlier this session, tiie resignation to become effective 'ju the eve of the day he assumes his new post. Tomorrow in the general account ing offices he will be sworn in as ; comptroller general by Associate Ju-tice Fred M. Vinson <;!' the Dis | trict of Columbia circuit court of appeals. Vinson is a former Con gressman and a close friend of War ren. Warren, who has just returned to tilt.- capital from his Washington, N. C.. homo where friends and con stituents gave him a farewell party last week, was chosen for the high post by President Roosevelt last su..i mer.

Oct. 31. —-(AP)—The Japanese army has withdrawn all its forces from Kwangsi province, southern China, and four big transports carrying r•»"iv 7,000 men already have sail ed from Haiphong, Indo-Chiivi, cai rying the vanguard. Whether they will be taken home or returned to the China war on some other front has not been dis closed. (The Japanese army announced ' i.st week it wa- abandoning ban ning. capital ol Kwangsi. because it had lost its value as a base of op erations since France permitted Japan to occupy aviation and other bases in northern Ii.do-China. From these ba^cs Japanese planes already are blasting at the Burma Road. China's main channel for war sup plies. (Chinese assert that the Japanese abandonment was the result of a strong Chinese offensive.)

By HOY P. PORTER. Paris. Off. 24 (Delayed—via Ber lin)- Ort. 31.—(AP)—Vice Premier Pit rro Laval before his historic in terview '.villi A doll Hitler told me he believed democracy in the modern world in nil countries is dc;id and that he \va.- taking France's future | on collaboration with nazi Germany. Lavai said he based his belief in the passing of democracy on the al io o i unop)M»s'd victories marked up by the totalitarian powers in the last year. ! received the definite impression from the French leader that he earne tly d- ired the defeat of Eng land as the coHorary to the French G» 'nia!i "collaboration" now agreed upon in principle. I.aval said the future of France de pond'd on the friends she made at this time. What happened when Hitler and Laval met near Paris, or perhaps in tli' capital itself, remains a secret, but ;,,i anthorixrd sources agree it had more to do with the continuation of the pro ont war than in trying to -top H'.e conflict. (Later. Chief of State Petain met IJiti-T iid it 'a. . la ted they agreed on the prineipl" of collaboration "for recon.-lnicliiig the pence of Europe.") One explanation which bears out Laval'.- views is tin recent handing over of all French Atlantic ports not actually in the combat zone to the French. Thus the defense of the Fi'iieh eon.-.i against pos ib!e British at' ck would be left to tiie Vichy go • nuii'-nt army and navy and the Get oi.ins could occupy themselves el. ov. here.

"It you elected me president such a request will not oien be news be cause it will be so insignificant. We wiil be turning out planes by the hundreds where we now are turn ing them out by ones.
