WELL KNOWN EDITOR
BROWNS IN VIRGINIA

Elizabeth City.-W. O. Saund-
ers, who drowned Thursday Near
Norfolk, Va, was associated with
the Elizabeth City Independent
for nearly 80 years, and his name
was household word in Eastern
North Carolina.
The Independent, a weekly
newspaper known widely for it's
humor and frank presentation of
news, had much more than a To-
cal circulation. Saunders, as edi-
tor, for many years was storm
center of the community, and was
involved in many libel suits.
Saunders gained nationwide
publicity in 1929 when he strolled
down main street here in white
pajamas and bedroom slippers
and advocated this as a sensible
attire for men in the summer
time. News cameras broadcast
the picture over the nation.
The author, editor and journal
ist was born in humble circum-
stances in Perquimans county on
May "a, 1884. His family moved
to Hartford, the county seat, when
Saunders was a child. At II he
obtained his first job on the Tar
Heel, weekly paper then pub
lished at Elizabeth City.
Later he worked O nthe Nor
folk (Va.) Dispatch and on the
New York American. For a time
he was also associate editor of
Golfers. He was a member of
the state House of Representa-
tives in 1919.
The Independent went bank
rupt in 1887. Saunders went to
Washington and became a free
lance writer, contributing to ma
tional magazines.

HOEY is STRONG FOR
ROOSEVELT THIRD TERM

Raleigh-A compromised agree
ment virtually assuring President
Roosevelt of North Cardinals 26
votes in the national Democratic
convention-providing his name
is before the convention-was eff
fected last week by Governor Ho-
ey and leaders of the North Car
Dina for Roosevelt" movement.
The advisory committee of the
movement, in a meeting here.
adopted a resolution urging the
state Democratic convention to
instruct North Cardinals dele
gates to the national convention
to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt if his
name is presented, until he is
nominated or until his name is
withdrawn from the balloting."
Governor Hoey, who recently
issued a statement asserting that
he favored the candidacy of Cor
dell Hull, said last night the res
olution meets my approval and
I will support its adoption at the
state convention.

ADVOCATES A
THIRD TERM FOR FDR

Reidsville.-Frank w. Hancock,
Jr., of Oxford, former United
States representative, aligned
himself solidly with the draft
Roosevelt forces, by asserting
that "the people want Roosevelt" {.
Speaking here at rally of
Young Democrats of the fifth con-
gressional district, Hancock, a
member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank board said:
Cali that his enemies can say
against the Presidents return is
that it has never been done be-
fore. That's right. But we never
had all the banks closed before.
We never had such a challenge to
democracy before. We never
faced such dangerous and des-
tructive world war before. And
we never had a Franklin Roose-
welt before"
Hancock's speech was one of a
series of addresses made in North
Carolina by third-termers. The
speeches apparently are timed to

GERMANS REPORT NEW
BLOWS AGAINST ALLIES

Berlin.-Successful new blows
against the allies land and sea
forces in Norway were reported
by Germany Monday while
placed Nazis surveyed the eff
fects of their newest white book
German bombers were said Of
ficially to have hit two British
cruisers with medium-Weight
bombs, to have set one transport
afire on the middle Norwegian
west coast today.
The burning transport was
stranded and the crew took to
lifeboats, this announcement said.
How severely the other ships
were damaged was not stated.
The high command reported
steady progress of German rein
forcements moving northward to-
ward Trondheim, potentially the
kew to the war in Norway.
The communique acknowledged
however, that German forces
were meeting some resistance in
their adavnce north and north
west from Oslo. Although it did
not specify where, the heaviest
fighting apparently was in the
Dombas, Tynset and Roros areas
of central Norway.
