bronze. Will you allow me to trade
these for products of your king

they obtained spices and jewels.
The trading lasted almost three
months. Then the Portuguese de-

back to their own land
Once more they were faced with a
long, hard journey. They were to go
back by nearly the same route by
which they had come
Across the Indian Ocean they
sailed, then headed southwark along
the African coast.
An old enemy of sailors, the dis

(by an An9lo-Saxon character called
"thorn." In appearance thorn"
was a cross between "p" and "y"
When thorn" was dropped from
the middle-English alphabet, the
letter "y' took its place in the SPELL

Is SIushed
To Record Low
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, Nov. 1.-The
Aluminium Co. of America yesterday
announced the price of aluminium
would be reduced l cent a pound
to II cents, effective November 10.
This will be the lowest level in
aluminium prices ever established by
the company and makes the third
reduction, each of l cent, this year
The company said the further cut
was in line with its policy of lower
ing prices due to larger production
and research as well as improved
facilities.
THE company hopes that a re-
duction at this time will assist to
some extent in meeting the RESPONSE
bilities which face the country in the
present emergency" said the an
nouncement.
Aluminium Co. of America is en-
gagged in a S150000,000 program of
expansion. Officials say its output

double its 1889 production.

in large part third term for Mr..
Roosevelt.
The Republicans are relying on
the support which Joe Louis, heavy
weight champion of the world is
now giving the Willkie ticket to
help break into the Negro support
which President Roosevelt has had
In other elections. They are playing
strongly for support of the colored
votes, too, because of the "kneeing"
of coiored policeman by Stephen
Early, secretary to President Roose-
welt last Monday night. The police
man, James Sloan, said yesterday,
however, that he was a Democrat
and would vote for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Nevertheless, Republican speakers
are making the most of the Incl
dent in Harlem, and District Attor-
ney Dewey has ordered an investi-
cation of the affair
Jewish Bloc in Doubt.
Recent reports are that some dent
in the jewish vote is being made by
the Republicans. These reports
are to the effect that Jewish leaders
don't like the suggestion that their
people are voting as a bloc against
Mr.. Willkie. believing that such a
belief may arouse hostile sentiment.
The Democrats don't believe that
the Republicans can overcome the
1,l13,000 lead which the President
rolled up in 1896. They point out
that the total number of registered
voters in New York City has now
become larger than the total num-
Der registered upstate, though by
a narrow margin. There is a big
new registration in the State, and
much of it in the city. No one knows
Just what this increased registration
means, except that it is probably due
IN part to increase in population
and the coming of age of many new
voters The Democrats say, how
ever, it is justifiable to believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt will have the support
of a good share of this new regis
tration.
The Republicans believe that the
very active Willkie Clubs have been
effective in increasing registration
which will support their candidate.

| Army Orders
| Give Wool Mills
Huge BockIogs


NEW YORK, Nov. IA solid
foundation" of Army orders for
wooden mill operations through the
first half Of 194l is reported by the
New York Wool Top Exchange.
The United States Army" the
exchange announced, has during
the past week awarded contracts to
mills for s,515,000 yards of wool
flannel shirtings, 100000 yards of
light-shade serge, 100000 yards of
dark serge and 775,OO0 yards of
elastique.
The contracts brought untitled
orders in the hands of mills to an
estimated 100000 to 100000
yards and assured continuance of
the present high rate of operations
well into the new year. Untitled
orders at this time last year were
estimated at about 100000 yards
About half of mills backlogs,
however, consist of military re-
quirements. Civilian orders are still
smaller than they were at this time
last year."

privately, are that Mr.. Willkie will
get no more than 600, 900 and per-
maps as low as 100000 votes lead up
state, and that President Roosevelt
will roll up 100000 vote margin in
the city. This would mean a Roose-
welt victory by 100000 or 100000
votes. Other claims of Democratic
victory place Roosevelt's margin as
low at 100000 for the State.
Both sides, in their public predic-
tons, will exceed these figures by
several hundred thousand votes.
A Job for Roosevelt.
-Four years ago President Roose-
welt won in New York with a lead
of 1,113,000 votes over ALT M. Lam
don, and in 1882 he defeated former
President Hoover by 1000. The
trend" in those days was all toward
the New Deal party and its candi-
date. In the 1888 gubernatorial race,
however, District Attorney Thomas
E. Dewey, running against Gov. Her
bert Lehman, was nosed out only by
$4,000. Although President Roose-
welt himself was not up for Office
that year, he spoke for Gov Leh-
man during the campaign. 1t was
very evident that the trend" had
set in toward the Republicans and
away from the New Deal. 1t will
take all President Roosevelt's per-
sonal appeal, plus the war situation
abroad, to stem the tide-if it can
be stemmed-in the election next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Dewey's lead upstate was ap-
proximately $4,000 two years ago.
The Democrats insist that Mr.. Will
kie will not do as well as did Mr.
Dewey. They say that anti-Semetic
wave was in evidence in the guber-
material race in 1888, and further,
that Mr.. Dewey received the sup
port of many industrial workers in
the upstate cities which Mr.. Willkie
will lose this year. The Republicans
reject this line of reasoning. They
add that this year the great Italian
vote in New York City-and in other
parts of the State-is against Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and that its loss
will materially affect the outcome
They say that Gov. Lehman had the
support of practically all the Jewish
voters, and that Mr.. Willkie will get
greater proportion of that vote
than did Mr.. Dewey. Furthermore.
they say that the Republican presi-
Dental nominee will cut more deeply
into the large Negro vote.
100000 Italian Vote.
Roughly speaking, the Italian vote
is placed at 100000 in New York, the
Jewish vote at 100000. the Polish
vote, which is pretty solidly for
Roosevelt, at $50 900, and the Negro
vote at 100000. The other great
racial bloc of votes is the Irish. In
New York City, this has been
strongly Democratic. while upstate
1t has been much more divided be-
tween the G. o. P. and the Demo-
Gratis.
Thls year, 1t is said. the Irish vote
will show many OBJECTIONS from the
New Deal candidate. Several rea-
sons are given for this. The first is
that many Of them are against the
third term. The second is that
Tammany is lukewarm, due to the
fact that its leaders believe the
Roosevelt administrative will back
Mayor La Guardia for reelection
as Mayor, because of the support
which Mayor La Guardia is now
giving President Roosevelt. An
other is that the Catholic clergymen
here, as in other States, is opposing

warning that un-American interests
in this country are seeking ito turn
race against race and creed against
creed" by the use of sunderland
propaganda" was heard by the
Prince Georges County Federation
of Womens Clubs at its annual
meeting here yesterday.
Lee Pennington, assistant admin
istrator of the Federal Bureau Of
Investigation, sounded the warning
at the federation's session in the
Agricultural Department auditorium
at the University of Maryland.
Mr.. Pennington said "that the law
enforcement agencies of the country
were faced with serious situation
in regard to un-American activities, "
and that sit is the mandatory duty
of every law-abiding citizen to give
the enforcement authorities all the
aid they can"
Increase in Spy Cases Cited.
Citing the increase in espionage
cases in the United States, he said
that in 1895 there were IS cases a
year to investigate as against $1,000
last year. He said as many as 1890
complaints in single day had come
into the F. B. 1. Office.
The Justice Department official
told the women that many groups
were attacking the activities of the
F. B. I. and named the Communist
party as "a party whose avowed
purpose it was to discredit the work
of the F. B. I. in prosecuting un-
American activities"
Referring to the subsection of the
various European countries by
dictatorial groups, he gave an out
line picture of how this was carried
on in each country.
He said the pattern for conquest
was the same each time, with a FIVE
point plan being carried out. The
plan, according to the speaker, was
Cd to create confusion among the
people of the country, o. to incite
jealousy between the various classes
of society, 90 to retard effective
preparation of defense, a. to incite
fear of radicalism and 50 to keep
the country from forming an alli-
ance with any other country by
preaching policy Of distrust.
Mr.. Pennington said the begin
ningS on such a policy" could be seen
in this country.
