On August 81, at Philadelphia,
Pa, during the Fifty-first Annual
International Convention of the Su-
preme Lodge of the World, Loyal
Order Of Moose, Fred w. label, of
Davenport, Iowa, was unanimously
elected Supreme Governor, the high
est elective Office in the gift of the
Fraternity. His term of Office be-
gan September /.
Like so many men who have built
enviable regulations for themselves,
in politics, business, or the profess
sions, Fred w. label was born on a
farm. There, he spent the early
part Of his life.
Mr.. labels birthplace was Scott
County, Iowa. After leaving the
public schools he entered St. Mary's
College, Kansas. He began his bank
ing career in McCausland, Iowa, as
bookkeeper in the local bank. At
the close of year he was invited
by the Durant Savings Bank, Du-
rant, Iowa, to become Assistant
Cashier, a position which he held
for five years. Promotion again fol-
lowed. In 1918, he accepted the
position of Assistant Cashier at the
Union Savings Bank & Trust Com
pany, Davenport. A year later he
became Cashier of the same institu-
ton, and soon was promoted to the
Vice Presidency. (The Union Saw
ings Bank was one of the largest
financial institutions in the Middle
West, with total assets of $685.
100000 and label was credited with
being the youngest Cashier of an
institution of this size in the Middle
West.)

QUICK POLAND CRUSH

StrategistS in Paris figuring
out the course of the war believe
that a quick crushing of Poland
is contemplated by Hitler. He
told Germans fighting the Poles
to do their duty SO that the entire
force would be behind them
with the battles on the East over
in few weeks. German empha-
sis has been on airplanes, tanks
and submarines to mass her air
force on British-French naval
units, airplane factories, rail
functions and civilian centers.
Submarines are to be an aid
against blockading battleships.
The Spanish Civil War witnessed
the destruction of a few warships
by planes but the evidence is still
not said to be decisive. Mass air
attacks on cities do not democrat
ize the populations, but attacks
on Paris and London will be far
more terrible than they were in
Spain. Many believe the French
can smash the sawtoothed steel
and concrete barriers, concrete
easements of the German Sieg-
fried line. Many also believe the
French will leave their Maginot
line to attack the Siegfried line.
Militarists in general envisage an
even longer and bloodier war
than in the World War.

900 ANSWER STRIKE CALL
AT BIG RICHMOND PLANT

Richmond, Va, April 17.-(AP)-
The Liggett & Myers Tobacco Com
pany, manufacturer of Chesterfield
cigarettes, closed its plant here today
as about 900 EMPLOYEES answered a
strike call by the Tobacco Workers
International Union. Forty pickets,
bearing placards, gathered at the
plant early this morning.
Negotiations for a new contract,
calling for five cents an hour wage
increase for all employees, and for a
preferential shan, collapsed Friday.
Horace Flowers, manager of the
plant, said he decided to stop opera
tions of all departments, except the
office force of about 35 persons, ''be-
cause we do not want to add to the
natural tension Of such an affair.""
Union officials said the strike here
was the first called by the Tobacco
Workers International Union in SO
years, and the first A. F. of L. strike
against one of the ''big three" among
cigarette manufacturers.
The union strike committee saio
simultaneous Walkouts were being
staged by about 100 employees of
the company's plant at Durham, N.

In the. Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, April 17.-Outside of

people care much who are elected
in today's municipal election in the
States capital, but unusual state
wide attention is being attracted to
the voting because it will furnish
the first real test of North Caro-

There have been, to be sure,
elections in other, but
smaller, towns since enactment of

been any such situation as exists
here.

leigh precincts 90 and 16) in which
the voters are almost exclusively

practically all of them at these two

Pan-American Nations
Almost Solid With FDR
Only Four Small Re-
publics Not Yet Heard
from; Canada Also
Joins. With Others
Backing Peace Pro
posals

Washington, April 17.-(AP)-A
ican solidarity behind President
Roosevelt's peace proposals hearten-
ed administration officials today in
the face of indications that Germany
and Italy would reject or evade any
anti-war pledge.
Just as the western world support
ed Mr. Roosevelt in his appeal to
Adolf Hitler during the Munich
crisis last fall, 16 Latin-American re-
publics and Canada expressed COM
mendation during the weekend of
his new plea against European ag-
gression.
Officials here were hopeful that
similar statements would be forth
coming from Guatemala, Haito, Hon
duras and Paraguay to make the
American reaction unanimous.
Typical of the comment was the
statement of the Argentine Presi-
dent, R. M. Ortiz, that his nation
supports the President in his gen
erous gesture of such high Ameri-
can Inspiration. Prime Minister
Mackenzie King, of Canada, said:
"Mr. Roosevelt offers a peace con-
ference before war instead of after
it. No country can likely reject that
opportunity Of saving civilization and
saving itself"
Nevertheless, unofficial word reach
ing Washington from Rome and Ber-
lin gave rise in diplomatic circles to
the belief that Hitler and Mussolini
would not accede to the Presidents
suggestions for keeping peace dur
ing the next decade or quarter CEN
tury.
