Moore, Al, Lumberton insurance man
who has taken an active interest in

Washington, April 29.--(AP)-The

port on the Pittman-McReyno

The report went to the Senate,

before the present neutrality law ex-

The administration Senate leader,

Raleigh, April 29.-The labor out
look in the textile industry in North
Carolina and South Carolina is re-
garded as being somewhat cloudy, if
not actually muddled, as a result of
the announcement by CIO leaders
that Roy r. Lawrence, president of
the North Carolina Federation of
Labor and for five years an organizer
for the American Federation of Labor
in North Carolina, had resigned his
A. F. of L. job to become chief or
ganizer and administrator for the
Textile Workers Organizing Commit
tee in North and South Carolina. The
TWOC is a subsidiary of the John L.
Lewis Committee on Industrial Or
ganization, usually referred to as the
CIO, which is backing the American
Federation of Labor and seeking to
outdistance it in the unionization of
workers in the big industries and a
long industrial rather than craft lines.
The announcement that Lawrence
had switched from the A. F. of L. to
the CLIO did not cause any surprise
in most circles here, since the rumor
has been current for several weeks
that Lawrence had either already
gone over to the CLIO or was going to
do so in the near future. The fact that
the greatest support Lawrence has
had in labor circles in North Carolina
has come largely from the United
Textile Workers, formerly an A. F. of
l.. affiliate, but which has now gone
over to the CLIO and definitely joined
hands with the Lewis organization,
was regarded by the more thoughtful
observers here as indicating that soon
err or later Lawrence would go along
with the UTW into the Lewis fold

 The Court had been expanded from seven to nine under Jackson Justice Story deplored it. It is tc be recalled he was bitterly critical of Jackson. In a letter commenting on the change, he said:
 You may ask how the judges got along together. We made very slow progress, and did less in the same time than I ever knew.
 "The addition to our number has most sensibly affected our fa- cility as well as rapidity of doing business. Many men of many minds require a great deal of dis cussion to compel them to come tc definite results, and we found our selves often involved in long and very tedious debates. I verify be- lieve if there were 12 Judges we should do no business at all, or at least very little"
