WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 — President Roosevelt told a newly-formed national com mittee of Independent voters yesterday that he was “very, very happy" to receive its sup port for a third term because, he said, democracy has a bet ter chance to survive if it “re mains progressive and liberal."

Le Guardia, of New York, is chairman and Senator George Norris (I), Neb., is honorary chairman. WASHINGTON, Sept. 24 — A continuous session of Con gress until the new national legislature convenes next Jan uary appeared likely last night after Senate Democratic Lead er Alben W. Barkley was ad vised that the House probably would reject proposals for ad journment or protracted re cesses. Barkley told the Sen ate that House Speaker Sam Rayburn had informed him that the lower chamber “prob ably will not” vote to adjourn Congress sine die but probably will insist on short recesses. “If that is the attitude of the House,” Barkley said, “we’ll be here until Christmas.” ABOARD Willkie Train En Route to Butte, Mont., Sept. 24—Traveling eastward after a campaign owing through the Far West, Wendell L. Willkie declared yesterday that the new deal’s domestic policy “has been a complete failure, and its foreign policy a muddle.” Standing in bright sunshine on the crowded streets of Spo kane, Wash., the Republican presidential nominee said the Roosevelt administration has piled deficit on deficit, and has so conducted foreign affairs that the United States is al most bereft of any friend in the entire world. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24 —The F. B. I. announced yes terday that Wilhelm Muhlen broich, held in the de Tristan kidnaping at Hillsborough, had made a list of between 100 and 125 bay area families who might be good “prospective victims.” Earl J. Connolly, as sistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, gave the new information on the German alien at a press con ference. INTERNATIONAL FANOI, French Indo-China, Sept. 24—The Japanese army resumed its thrust into French Indo-China late yesterday at Langson, 12 miles within the northern border, French offi cials reported last night. Ex tent of the new fighting was not clear, but the French said the situation was one of “ex treme gravity,” following a 12 hour period of comparative in activity. French troops, they said, were under orders not to Are unless fired upon, in the hope of a settlement without further bloodshed. Neverthe less, the colony was fully mob ilized and reinforcements were reported sent to the north. GIBRALTAR, Sept. 24—War planes of France, Britain’s Nazi-subjugated ally, heavily bombed Gibraltar for four hours and five minutes Tues day, inflicting death, injuries, property damage and fires on this vital British fortress at the western head of the Med iterranean.

COURT TO HEAR CASE THIS FALL Appeals in High Point Hy droelectric Dam Squabble Set for November CONTINUANCE GRANTED Appeals in the High Point hydro-electric dam case are to be heard during the latter part of November, it was announced Tuesday by the state supreme court. A continuance of the appeal from Yadkin county until cases from the ninth and twelfth dis tricts are heardj has been grant ed by the court. These cases start November 26 and the con tinuance was granted so that the Yadkin county case may be heard along with the expected appeal from Guilford county. In Guilford, Judge Zeb V. Net tles held that High Point had cor rected situations which were the basis of a restraining order ob tained by a taxpayer and the Duke Power Company against dam construction. The Yadkin county case, heard by Judge Allen Gwyn, involved the sale by Yadkin county of county lands to High Point. Judge Gwyn made his ruling contingent upon the ruling in Guilford coun ty as to whether the restraining order could be considered relaxed so that High Point could proceed with the construction of a dam on the Yadkin river at Styers Perry.

Policy Countries Said to Have Agreed in Principle on Alliance to Become Effective If the United States and Great Britain Collaborated in Matters Concerning Status of British Naval Base Shanghai, Sept. 25—Authorita tive advices from Tokyo said to day that Japan and Germany had agreed in principle on a defensive alliance which would become ef fective if the United States and Great Britain collaborated in such matters as the status of the great British Par Eastern naval base at Singapore. Described as provisional in its present stage, the alliance, if it became effective, would mean abandonment by Japan of its policy of “non-involvement" in the war, the advices said. As the news reached here, there was the sudden threat of a major crisis, directly involving American interests, in Shanghai. There were indications that the Japan ese might seize control of the French concession and most of the international settlement at any hour. TO RECEIVE BIDS TODAY Proceed with Construction Plans for New Jonesville School Building PLAN 12 CLASSROOMS Bids on a new school building for Jonesville are to be received this morning (Thursday), as school authorities proceed rapidly with construction plans for the building following the decision of the state supreme court which dis solved a restraining order and per mitted them to go ahead with the building. To be located across the street from the present overcrowded building, the new school sturcture will contain 12 classrooms and several other rooms for offices and laboratories, it is understood. A combination gymnasium and auditorium will also be included in the $40,000 structure. Decision of the North Carolina supreme court ended a long fight which had started when $40,000 worth of bonds were voted for school improvements in June 1939. Persons opposed to the issue of bonds started a court suit and finally succeeded in having a re straining order made permanent, but attorney’s for the Yadkin county board of education appeal ed the decision to the supreme court. A split decision of the high court the first time upheld the restraining order, but a later hear ing this spring resulted in the supreme court Reversing Its own decision and dissolving the re straining order. The situation was so serious potentially that Adm. Thomas C. Hart, commander-in-chief of the United States Asiatic fleet who arrived here late today from Tsingtoo, was expected to confer with. American naval, military and consular officials on the pos sible evacuation of Americans from China, Japan and Manchu guo in event of an emergency. Germany, under the agreement reached at Tokyo, would use its good offices as between Japan and Russia, it was said, thus seeking to free Japan for execu tion of its new program of expan sion southward. The alliance was proposed by Germany, according to Tokyo ad vices, and seemed aimed in great part at diverting the attention of the United States in the interna tional field, to prevent full United States cooperation with Britain. If Wife Works Her Husband Can’t Claim Her As a Dependent Washington, Sept. 21 — Army officials made it plain today that married men will not be exempt ed from the draft simply and au tomatically because they are mar ried. In each individual case, that point is to be decided by the local draft board on its own merits and, if necessary, after an inquiry as to whether the wife or other dependent is actually dependent upon the draftee’s earnings for a livelihood. Thus, private means of income and such questions as whether the wife has a job ap parently are to be taken into con sideration. Officials of the selective service system reversed a previous opin ion to set this forth today. Mrs. Edna Fleming Taken by Death Funeral rites for Mrs. Edna Willard Fleming, 78, of East Bend, were held Saturday after noon at 2 o’clock at Richmond Hill Baptist church. She passed away Thursday night at her home after an illness of several months. Rev. E. C. Norman and Rev. L. W. Burrus conducted the services. Mrs. Fleming was the widow of Eli c. Fleming, who died De cember 3, 1939. Surviving are three sons, Manuel M. Fleming, of Toledo, Ohio, M. Harrison Fleming, of Manboro, Va., and T. Willie Fleming, of Chula, Va.; two daughters, Mrs. J. Mose Smith, of Manboro, Va., and Mrs. Lester C. Prim, of East Bend; 19 grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. LONDON DIGS IN FORTHEffINTER Britain’s War Leaders Be lieve Peril of Invasion Is Checked UNDERGROUND HOUSING Although King George has again warned his people that German armies for invasion of England are “massed across the channel, only 20 miles from our shores,” Britain's war leadership is already counting that peril checkmated for the winter. It is preparing instead for a nazi cam paign of relentless bombing through long winter nights in a war-of-nerves even more intense than British citizens have yet known. Plans to house an additional million Londoners underground at night are significant. They represent rising British confi dence that the first defensive phase of Britain’s fight for life has been won. The “crux” of the great air battle, as defined by British leaders, is daylight mas tery of the air over England. The Royal Air Force still dom inates the air in daylight. That is the opinion of American mili tary experts who have been mak ing a realistic apraisal of the re sults of the German bombing at tacks. They share British opin ion that an attempt at a nazi in vasion would be foolhardy and probably disastrous as long as the R. A. F. has daylight command of the skies. It is notable that the king’s broadcast of encouragement to his people came as England turn ed the autumnal equinox comer. Day by day and week by week the invasion peril will lessen for England from now until winter passes. But for the next three months English nights will be progressively longer and more fraught with terror for the peo ple of London and other English cities. Carefully compiled British wea ther charts afford Londoners and the people of the cities on Eng land’s great midland plain little prospect of any long respite from night bombing raids. A day or two at a time, when gales blow and low temperatures at high fly ing altitudes restrict air warfare, is all that can be expected. The next four months are the wettest of the year for England’s north sea and channel coasts, and for the London area. Through October, November and Decem ber there is an average rainfall of from four to six inches a month and the downpour reaches a peak in utuiuaiy. Night bombing thus will take on new terrors for people who may be forced to flee their homes in the rain and cold. Even with the invasion danger eased, the greatest strain yet placed on British nerves may come during the autumn and winter months.

AIRY, TWIN CTIY BOTH SEE GOOD PRICES Opening Day Sees Sales Mov ing Briskly EXPRESS SATISFACTION Prices Top 1939 Opening Day Figures by Nearly Six Cents Per Pound FLOORS ARE CLEARED Winston-Salem, Sept. 24—An opening day average estimated at $22.40 per hundred pounds, on the basis of sales reported from the first five warehouses to give final figures last night, brought cheer to a host of northwestern and Piedmont North Carolina farmers who sold approximately 1,200,000 pounds in Winston-Sa lem yesterday. J. T. Booth, sales supervisor, announced that the first 103,344 pounds, sold on the floors of the four warehouses having first sales, brought $24,006.57 for an average of $23.23 per hundred pounds. Sales moved at a brisk pace during the day, and growers ex pressed general satisfaction and approval of prices obtained for their first offerings of the season. Majority of the eight ware houses which had first and sec ond sales cleared their floors com pletely before the close of sales, and one set of buyers moved on to a third sale. Booth announced that yester day was the first time in the past 10 or 12 years that houses other than those scheduled for first and second sales have sold on opening day. The fact that no congestion was experienced on the market was ascribed by Booth to the fact this year’s opening was three weeks earlier than last year’s de layed debut; to the fact that crop control has reduced the amount of tobacco to be sold by approxi mately 30 per cent; and to the fact that growers have become sold on the wisdom of orderly marketing. Yesterday’s estimated average is only nine cents below the five year opening day average of $22.49, obtained from a compila tion of opening day averages since 1935. Yesterday’s average topped last year’s opening day figures of $16.55 by nearly six cents. Mount Airy tobacco market opened its 67th season with total sales of approximately 240,000 pounds at two of the five ware houses operating this year. The average prices were estimated at $20 to $22 per hundred pounds. Top prices reached $35.
