Nov. —(.AT) — The- White House said today that Francis Perkins, secretary of Labor, had not submitted her resignation and "the President has not diseus>#d resignation with her." This statement came from i Stephen Early, press secretary, u hen he was asked for comment on a story in the New York Times tliat Miss Perkins had tendered her resignation and President Roosevelt had accept ed it. Early was asked by newsmen whether this statement meant that Miss Perkins, first woman j cabinet member and an ap pofntc to the original Roose velt cabinet in 19o3, would con tinue in her post through the third Roosevelt administration.

Wend"li's in much the same sort of a Republican boat as the Demo cratic bo:< that Al Smith was in following his defeat in 1928. Al and his crew navigated their craft so competently that the Democrats sailed right into port when 1932 rolled around. They didn't sail in under Al's c-.otaincy. however. Frank'in D. Roosevelt got it away from him. That the Republicans, with Will kic at the vessel's helm, will finish their 1940-44 voyage as gratifying to themsolv s as the Democrats did in 1932 doesn't necessarily follow. The good ship G. O.

Other British iaiders were said to have j splashed bombs along the na/.i held. French coast, including the Boulogne area which was blasted for more than an hour. The attack on the town in western England was said to have been car ried out by German bombers coming over in virtually continuous raids. (The German high command de clared that hundreds of its planes | subjected Bristol, major British west i coast port, to another "Coventry" j raid last night. Hundreds of thous ands of pounds of explosive and fire J bombs were said to have started 45: major fires there.)

Daily Dispatch Bureau. In the Sir Walter Hotel. By HENRY A V IK I LI Raleigh. Nov. 25.—Commissioner of Agriculture* W. Kerr Scott asked the advisory budget commission for very low favors in the estimates he submitted to the State's financial .steering committee recently. The only material change asked i> elimination from the Agriculture department's expenditures of ap proximately $30,000 it now turns over to Slate College for the experi ment station and for seed improve ment. The commissioner does not regard this as a slap at the college nor as intensification of the ancient row between department and collegians. On the contrary he advances the op inion that if the Iwdgeteers will al low the department to keep these fund* and, at the same time, give the college the money from general fund appropriations, a long step to ward bettei relations will have been taken. The fact that the department each year is forced to hand over money it needs badly for its own jiftivities i- a constant source of irritation to the personnel, he points out. As an example he cited: "Suppose the entomology division runs out of lunds for travel about January—as it often does. Then I have to tell its head to bring his men into Raleigh because of this lajk of money. The lield specialists come in and while they stay around Raleigh they begin to grumble and complain about turn ing over agricultural money to State College. It's a constant source of friction which could be completely eliminated ii the legislature would give the college enough money for its vital activities and let us keep all our receipts for ours." Getting around to some figures on te department's budget requests and estimates: Scott estimates that receipts for the year 1941-42 will be $">33.338 as com pared with actual 1939-40 receipts of $">26,716 anci estimated 1940-41 re ceipts of $514,388. For the second year of the coming biennium he thinks receipts will be the same as for the first. Present conditions require the de partment to turn over to State Col lege annually $26,350 for the experi ment station and $4,550 for seed im provement work. These are the items Scott asks he be permitted to retain, which would permit expenditure by the department of just that much more on its own activities. Here's where the department's rev enue will come from: Fertilize]- tax $275,000, cotton seed meal $27,500, feed $90,000, seed li censes $18,000. condimental feed $1. 000, serum .$15,000. eo>f< $400. le gume; $5, linseed S2.25". bleached (Continued on Page Four) Italian Base Threatened By Greeks Greek Dispatches Re port Advance Units in Outskirts of Italy's Main Base in Southern Albania; Heavy Fight ing Reported. Athens. Nov. 25. — (AP)— Dis patches from I ho battlefront s;< id 1o day that Greek advance unit.s had entered the outskirts «»f Argircastro, main Italian military base in south ern Albania, and that the city was 'x pee ted to fall before evening. Heavv liylitinn also was reported southwest of the town, where the Greeks were threatening to push to the Adriatic coast, isolating a large number of Italians. These thrusts were part of a coun ter drive against the thwarted Ital ian invasion, which was described by military sources a^ a "full fledged offensive" intended to wrest Albania from Italian control and possibly keyed to a plan for Greek-British I seizure ■ ! Italy's strategic Dode canese islands. While the drive on Argirocastro I coniintu d. additional Greek columns | to the east threatened Prcmeti. In the central sector the Italians were reported to have abandoned their fortified positions on Mt. Os ■ trovitxa.

Protection For Potato Market Sought Daily Dispatch Bureau. Ill the Xlr IVnlter ffotel. r.'al' igh. Nov. 25. The State De partment ol Agriculture is endeavor ing to help growers of commercial early Irish potatoes in North Caro lina to lind a new approach to thr* problem of market demorlization by cutthroat competition of culls and very low grades. Buxton White, fruit and vegetable marketing specialist, said today. "In North Carolina there is con siderable sentiment for legislation or a marketing agreement, under Fed eral ,-uper-vision, which would pro hibit or restrict the shipment in in terstate commerce of cull, "B" size and very low grade potatoes when surpluses exist," White said. "It seems to be the consensus that these inferior potatoes are a very definite factoi in tearing down market values foi the better grades, as evidenced by the resolutions adopted by local groups and the state farmers' con vention." A meeting has already been held of repre entalives from North Car olina. South Carolina and Virginia with U. S. Department of Agriculture officials to consider the 1 fJ41 mar keting prospects and the most ad visable steps toward improving the situation which has been serious in North Carolina for several seasons*. Any agreement, to be effective, I must have the participation of grow ers from other Southern states. Their attitude is being sounded out. White said that early in 1940. be fr re North Carolina reached heavy •\ ipment . early potatoes did well | due to the short carry over of late j potatoes from tine 1939 crop and ! adverse growing conditions in Dade j county.
