NEARING GOAL IN 5TH. WAR LOAN DRIVE F. D. R. Will Accept Nomination For 4th Term Agrees To Serve If Elected “As A Good Sol dier; Dewey To Be Opponent This Fall. WASHINGTON, July 11. —j Presilient Roosevelt, with a non chalant smile on his face, but his hands a tremble with emotion, an nounced today that he would ac cept a fourth term nomination and, if elected, would serve “re luctantly, hut as a Rood soid’ n'he announcement, which sur prised newsmen and politicians only as^ to its timing:, was made at a White House news confer ence. The president read a lettei from Chairman Robert E. Hanne gan of the Democratic national committee informing him that more than a majority of conven tion delegates are already “legal- j ly bound’’ to support his renomi nation and asking that he “again respond to the call of the party and the neoole.” READS HIS REPLY. '1 hen he read his reply: “If the convention should car ry this out, and nominate me for tlie presidency, I shall accept. If the people elect me, I will serve.” At one point in his read ing, he threw down the* cor respondence, and remarked that he had to have a ciga rette. When his hands trem bled, apparently from scarce ly suppressed nervous emo tion, he quipped that it was too bad the cigarette was not a Murad—traditionally asso ciated with nonchalance in the advertising columns. He asserted that he will -not ’tin" for either nomination or ‘ction “in the usual partisan, s litieal sense” hut would take rders from a .“superior officer— the people of the United States.” His personal choice, the Presi dent said, would he to retire to his home on the Hudson and leave public responsibilities and the publicity attendant upon the of fice iif Chief Executive. Existence at stake. “Hut we of this generation chance to live in a day and hour | when our nation has been attack-| ed, and when the future existence of our chosen method of govern ment is at stake,” Mr. Roosevelt went on. “To win this war wholehearted ly, unequivocally and as quickly as we can is our task of the first importance. To win this war in such a way that there will he no future world wars in the fore seeable future is our second ob jective. To provide occupations and to provide a decent standard , of living for our men in the arm ed forces after the war, and for all Americans, are the final ob jectives. "Therefore, reluctantly but at a good soldier, I repeat that | will accept and serve in this office, if | so ordered by the commander in chief of all of us—the sovereign people of the United States.” The 9!) newsmen who attended today's interview were unprepared for such an announcement. They had expected the man who shatter ed the two-term presidential tra dition in 1910 would wait until the convention, starting a week from tomorrow in Chicago, actu ally nominatel him. That was the course lie followed four years a DEWEY, FARLEY SILENT. Cov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Republican nominee, refused to comment on the President's an nouncment. So did James A. Far ley who helped elect the President to two White House terms as na tional Democratic chairman only to balk at a third term and now at a fourth. Wendell L. Willkie, the 1940 Republican presidential nominee asked: “Is that news?” when in formed of the Roosevelt-Hunnegan letters. Bv this comment, Willkie voic ed the opinion long held by most every politician in the country— that there was never much doubt about the President’s accepting another White House bid. Mayor F. H. La Guardia of m 'w \ ork said he was very happj » hear the news, “but frankly 1 annot pretend to be surprised and^ that goes for the nomination But before Mr. Roosevelt sprang the news which re porters had been futilely try ing to extract from him for months, Senator Guy M.

Conversely, industries and activities which are less essen tial, or which are non-essential, or which are non-essential, must realize that it is their responsi bility and duty to release all workers possible during this stren uous period. Itriefly, the North Carolina Manpower Priorities Plan, effec tive July 1, provides that: 1. Ali male workers must be hired through or by arrangement with the t inted States Employ ment Service. 2. Employment ceilings are es tablished for ALE employers in North Carolina. Hiring quotas (or manpower allowances) are established, sub ject to revision every (it) days. t. Priority of referral of work ers is to be granted to certain firms on the basis of their impor tance and urgency to the war ef fort and their need for manpow er in order to meet the produc tion schedules. 5. Intensified recruitment pro grams will be instituted to chan nel workers from other-than-es sential production; and from loose labor market areas to crit ical labor market areas. Employment ceilings have been established for all employers in all the State, the United States Employment Service of the War Manpower Commission, will un der instructions and as far as manpower is available, supply the needs, male and female, of all Class I establishments, those of high urgency, and Class IT es tablishments, those classified as esseiit ial or locally needed, up to their established employment ceil ings, before making referrals of workers to other than-essential establishments. Under the pht»', othm'-than-es sential employers are permitted to (lire female workers only with in their employment ceiling* and subject to the provisions of this; section without referral by the U. S. Employment Service, provided they are hired in ac cordance with the provisions of the Region IV Employment Sta bilization Program. Male work ers may be hired only upon re ferral by or under arrangements with the USES. Other-th an-essential employers should realize that they must op erate within their established ceilings, with very little chance of replacements, particularly of male workers. They should, there fore, employ every possible means to reduce turnover, and thus sta bilize their present employment. Every establishment in North Carolina is to he placed in one of three classes for the purpose of Ibis program. Class 1 establish ments are those engaged in pro ducing essential products or ser vices of high urgency—those need ing workers to produce and to maintain production of vitnl war goods and services. Class 11 establishments are those engaged in production of essential products or services em braced in the War Manpower Commission’s List of Essential Activities or those which have been lesignated as “locally need ed". In Class 1111 are all estab lishments not included in Classes I and II. In determining the classifica tion of an establishment and its employment ceilings, the State Manpower Priorities Committee will consider the extent to which the employer has conformed to the following: a. The adherance to require ments and policies of the War Manpower Commission's Employ ment Stabiliation Program. b. The proper utiliation of skills through job analysis, trans fer, upgrading and effective job methods. c. The utilization of women on all possible .jobs. d. The elimination of in-plant causes of turnover, absenteeism, and labor hoarding. e. The maintenance of an ad equate training program. f. The maintenance of the War Manpower Comnrission’s minimum wartime work week. L)r. .1. S. Dorton, State Man power Director, is chairman of this Committee, other members of which represent the War Pro duction Board, War and Navy Departments, War Food Adminis tration, Selective Service, Office of Price Adminsitration, Office of Defense Transportation, Small er War Plants Corporation and Aircraft Resources Control Of fice, with advisory members from the Civil Service Commission and Railroad Retirement Board. This Manpower Priorities Com mittee is set up on a State-wide basis, rather than on an area ba sis, as is the case in some states and areas. However, it will meet frequently in the six areas in North Carolina, with the six area directors of the Wrar Manpower Commission, in order to give close attention to the establish ments in each of the areas. Employment ceiling*—the max imum number of worker* a plant may employ—will be determined by the aix area director* in their respective area*, upon recommen dation of the Manpower Priorities Committee. Here is an important announce ment, of particular interest to the employers of North Carolina. In arriving- at their employment ceilings, they are to take the numbers of workers employed in their plants as of April 1, 1944, until further notice from the area director. It is possible that cer tain variations from the figures on workers on that date may be made, but, generally, that will he the basis used in arriving at em ployment ceilings. A large number of employers, nearly BOO in the State, have been supplying information for a form for the USES offices, known as the “2,70”, from which the employment as of April 1, 1944, will be secured. Other employ ers will fill out a new short form, known as ”106’ , which will show their employment as of April 1. These figures will be used as a djasis for establishing employ ment ceilings of all firms in the State. Hiring quotas for all estab lishments in the State, under which firms are allowed to hire (Continued on page two) Cherryville Eliminat ed By Shelby In Play Off Series; 3 Straight MA,D GOOD TEAM THIS YEAR; WILL HAVE TEAM NEXT SEASON. “Keep a stout heart in defeat!' rtiis is one of the main points of ;he American Legion Junior Spor tsmanship Code and is one which the members of the Cherryville team and fans of the town might .veil hear in mind. Shelby let the Cherryville lads down in three straight games in the three-out jf-five series and they well de serve the praise and plaudits which go to the victor and in the winning of this series the Cleve land boys will have the priviledge of contesting Charlotte, the win ner of the Charlotte-Gaston Coun ty series. Shelby won the first game of the series which was played in Cherryville Monday by the score of 4 to 0. On Tuesday, the Cher ries journeyed to Shelby and came back with the short end of a 5 to 1 score. The final game, played in Cherryville yesterday, was annexed by the boys from Cleveland by the score of 10 to 2. Pop Simmons’ charges really wielded wicked willows and were able to bunch their hits to count. “Lady Luck’’ just seems to have deserted Cherryville in this series and the locals failed to exhibit the fine brand of baseball which they had manifested up to these gam Dixon . of Shelby was the stav of yesterday’s encounter as he banged out a homer with the bas es loaded in the sixth inning. Howard Henkle, the Cherries' ace second sacker also connected 101 a round trip clout in the eighth inning but there were none on base at the time. The Gaston County team v.hlch inir.hed thivu in the round-robin lilies defeated the Gastonia City .cam in the three-out-of-five con tests and were thereby pitted a gainst Charlotte. Their ace pit cher, Mason Leeper, was not a vailable for the Charlotte series as he had injured his arm in a game last week and is now recup erating in Florida, attempting to get his ailing arm straightened out for the all-star game in New York which is being sponsored by Esquire magazine. Had Leeper been playing, the Gaston County team’s chances would have been greatly enhanced but so goes baseball. Now that the locals are out of the running, Cherryville fans can start thinking about next year and making plans for another Junior team. Although several of the hoys who played this year have ended their Junior baseball ca reer, there will be enough return ing next year to form a nucleus for another team. All in all, the Cherries didn’t do so badly. They won thirteen out of the eighteen games they played in the round robin series and in the play-offs and that isn’t a bad record. In ringing down the curtain on American Legion Junior base ball in Cherryville, commenda tions are in order for Coaches Jack Kiser and Floyd Beal and their fine young players and for those members of the American Legion for their enthusiasm and interest in promoting Junior base ball in this community. This oft quoted poem should be taken to heart by both players and fans now that the season is over: For when the One Great Scorer Comes to write against your It’s not whether you won or lost But how you played the game. Home Coming At Antioch Postponed L<ue to the Polio epidemic, the homecoming and Revival which was to be held at Antioch Sunday will be postponed until a later date. The revival meeting was to begin with the Homecoming, Sun day, but it will be held later. All those who were making ed Forces, and as war eeds come PFC. DAVID T.
