ALL DEMOCRATS. ARE ENDORSED.
Chairman Farley Puts Na: ' tionaI Committee Behind
 Party's Candidates
BY LYLE 0, WILSON

Washington, october 6.-tUP)s- Chairman James A. Farley has placed the Democratic national committee gquarely behind all Deni- ocratic nominees in the current caiil- paign regardless of whether they are liberal or conservative. He predict cd that the two-party system would prevail for many more years.
 Some persons saw in his policy statement 6 contrast with the Sept. 2 pronouncement by President Roosevelt in favor of liberal candi- dates. MT. Roosevelt, who has stepped over party lines at least twice-in Nebraska and Minnesota since entering the White House, told press conference questioners:
 "rf there iS q good liberal running on the Republican ticket, would not have the slightest objection to his election. The good of the cotifi- try rises above party
 He assented then to . sugges. ton that c liberal Republican would be more likely to vote in the na- tionai interest than would Q com servative Democrat.
 Farley had c press conference yes- terday, the first in 50 long that he could not remember when the previous one took place.
 "All the conventions and pri- marieS are over," he said, "and I'm going to support tho nominee Of the party"
 He was asked whether that meant support of Democratic nominees whether they are liberal or not
 "Why certainly" tho chairman replide. He added that he was speak, ing only for himself and tho Demo cratic national committee.
 Docs that mean that the prebi- dent is working ct cross purposes with the national coinmittee9"

 "Dou you expect the president to support liberal Republicans?"

NO RUSH FOR 1 DISASTER AID
Six Applications Made; Relief Agencies Claim No
 Emergency Exists

Hartford, Conn, Oct. e.-(Up)-- Connecticut citizens are not apply- iAg in great numbers for disaster aid as result of the recent hurri- cane and flood, federal and state relief authorities reported today.
 In fact, the scant demand for as- sistance prompted Philip D. Hender- son, regional supervisor of the farm security administration, to say:
 T personally believe that . great deal of this emergency demand we have been hearing about does not exist"
 Edward R. Barlow, Hartford di- rector of the Disaster Loan Corp, said he had received only six ap. plications for relief.
 Again, Col. Robert A. Shepard of the Red Cross said only "a compare lively small number" of persons have asked Red Gross assistance.
 Meantime, Col. Thomas Hewes, state disaster relief coordinator, said in a radio address he believed the Red Gross may spend as much aS s5OO.0o0 for Connecticut relief.

CONSTITUTIONAL OF CIO IS CALLED
Meets at Pittsburgh No. vember l4-Green Calls
 It Roosevelt Rebuff
By WILLIAM H. LAWRENCE United Press Stan COrrespondent)

(Unlted Press btAm COfrespOnuentl
 Washington, Oct. 6--(UP)--Chair- man John L. Lewis of the Commit tee for Industrial Organization to- day called its first constitutional convention. It will meet at Pitts burg Nov. i4 to organize itself on 6 permanent basis as a rival of the American Federation of Labor.
 Tn issuing the call, Lewis asserted that the c. I. O. was more powerful and more progressive than the A. F. of L. He claimed 4,000, 900 members.
 The call came only 4e hours after President Roosevelt urged rival labor leaders to new attempts to achieve unity. Whether the call will have any effect on the rivalry which has split labor ranks was conjec- tural. It appeared that establish ment of 6 permanent c. I. o. organ iZation would emphasize the split with the A. Y. of L. But 1t also was possible that such c closely.knit or. ganization would facilitate future negotiations for peace.
 Lewis declared that "the ravages of the recent economic depression have not impaired the strength nor affected the ranks Of the CfO" and said that "the firm, stand of it's af- filiated unions prevented the wage cuts which employers had automati- cRlly imposed upon the workers In previous depressions,"
 Delegates from at least 42 Inter- national and national unions and from ie0 industrial union councils will meet at PittSburg. The only o. I. o. union which may not attend is the International Ladies Garment Workers. President David Dubin. sky, who Is seeking to initiate new peace talks between Lewis and Green. has hinted that he would not participate In any such convention.
 LewiS' formal call disclosed for the first time that Executive Direc- tor John Brophy also Is "acting Sec- retary" of the 0. l. O., succeeding the late Charles P. Howard, presi- dent Of the A. ?. Of L.s Interna- tional Typographical Union who died last summer.
 The call announced that each fa- tionai, international and local in. dustriai union would have but one vote and one delegate. Each local industrial union Is entitled to send one delegate.
 Representation of the national and international unions will range from two delegates for less than 5000 members up to 10 delegates for over 100000 members.

 London, October 6. --(UP) After Europe's first explos- ion of joy in the belief that the disrnernberment of Czech slovakia under a four-power agreement had avoided war, a definite reaction has set in. There are now doubts that permanent peace has arrived. 1 am personally convinced, after following the crisis through every phase, that the men responsi- ble for Europe's major nations do not place nearly as much confidence in the possibility of "peace in our time" aS the general public did iin- mediately after the Munich confer. ence.
 Adolf Hitler convinced British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, I learned from reliable sources, that Germany is determined to become the predominant power in Europe.
 Expects to Dominate
 Tn their conversations leading up to the partitioning Of CSechoSlovakia, the Nagi Fuehrer left absolutely no doubt in Chamberlain'S mind that the Third Reich expects to achieve political. military and economic domination on the continent.
 He was understood to have indi- eated to Chamberlain that he re- aafded this iominati0h 'ag 0ermAny'i inaiienable right duo to her popula. ton of almost e0,0000o0. her political and industrial organization and the genius" of the German people. Already fzitler'S hatred Of Eduard Denes hes led to resignation of the Czech president.
 And there, in best informed opin- ion, lies the ctux of the danger ahead: the answer to whether Europe is heading for Q period of peace or merely . breathing space before
