Nothing Can Hinder Death
Of Capitalism, Says Thomas
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President, asserted here last night
that nothing can hinder the death
of private capitalism, even in Amer
ica."
Mr.. Thomas said private capital
ism was doomed whether or not this
country became engaged in war.
"The only question" he said. ION
which We have some power of ef-
fective choice is this: Shall the
heir or successor of the old order
be the totalitarian state, tied to
state capitalism, or shall it be the
cooperative commonwealth, with
industrial or functional, as well as
political democracy?"
Mr.. Thomas outlined the Socialist
economic program for America, de-
scribing it as "a program for total
democracy" This, he declared,
must be achieved unless we are to
continue our drift toward Fascism.
It's achievement depends upon our
keeping out of war and turning
from the paths of imperialism.

Stars Appreciation Program
Seen as Foundation for Opera
Nine. Marie Won UnschuId Soys Recordings
Awaken Interest of Students

Expressing enthusiastic approval:
of The Stars opera appreciation
program, Nine. Marie Won Unschuld,
president of the Won Unschuld Uni
versity of Music here, said today
she believes this movement is laying
the foundation for opera in Wash
ington.
Your series of opera recordings
has made all of our students ex-
claim: How wonderful it would be
if we had an opera in Washing
ton" Nine. Won Unschuld said in
giving her Endorsement to the pro-
gram.
There is an old proverb which
says If you show the little finger
people want to take the whole hand
The Star is showing very fine Sc
lection of short excerpts of great
operas-and that makes the people
desirous of hearing the whole
OPERA" she said.
THUS" she continued, you have
made yourself one of the real
founders of the future opera in
Washington. Unhappily, this may
not be realized for a long time yet,
but feel that The Stars program
is laying the true basis for this
hope Of Washington's music lovers"
Nine. Won Unschuld said that all
Of her students appreciate the
splendid selection of opera excerpts"
and that almost all of them have
obtained the recordings made avail
able so far knowing that they were
investing their money in a musical
treasure which will give them joy
at home and relaxing pleasure after
a long day Of work" The playing
of the recordings, she said, should
arouse in vocal students "the am
bition to approach the fine rem
ditions of the recording artists"
That the recordings are excel
lent" she added, was very effec-
lively demonstrated when one of
the Sunday afternoon broadcasts of
the records was followed by the
addition Of ambitious vocal students.
There was the distinctive element of
mature artists performance in the
recording In contrast to those who
have some distance yet to travel
IN their singing careers"

CrossIey Poll Shows Roosevelt

But Shift of Less Than 2,000,0 900 From 1886
Vote Believed Enough to Elect WiIIkie

into voting age since then or moved
into the State.
Under 30 per cent the detection"
becomes possible. 1t seems likely
that North Dakota, needing 90 per
cent, will swing away from Mr..
Roosevelt. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, needing 26 per cent and 25
per cent. respectively, may swing.
All reports from Washington on the
other hand needing % per cent?
indicate that this State will stay in
the Roosevelt column Utah (29
per cent?, New Mexico 20 per cent? ,
are not apt to change. oregon (27
per cent? and California (25 per
cent? seems unlikely to shift, but
late developments make them worth
watching. Kentucky, Tennessee and
West Virginia, with only Is per cent,
% per cent and 18 per cent, re-
spectively, seem definitely in the
Roosevelt column.
Many Definitely for Roosevelt.
Thus, large group of States are
so definitely for Mr.. Roosevelt that
the only function a poll could serve
would be to forecast the plurality.
On the other side, tests indicate
that Maine and Vermont and the
farming tiers of States are safely
in the Willkie column and unneces-
sary to study further.
To shift New York's A electoral
votes, the equivalent of II out of
every 100 Roosevelt 1886 votes are
needed. To shift Pennsylvania, IA

New Jersey, II; Ohio, Is; Indiana,

In the great industries States the
detailed polling indicates "defec-
ton" equivalent to little more or
little less than the needed l3 per
cent to 18 per cent. In some of the
farming States the shift may run
higher than 20 per cent, and in

OTTAWA, Oct. 28.-The Cana
dian destroyer Margaree was sunk,
with 14o officers and men pre-
sumed" lost, when she collided with
large merchant ship October %
in the North Atlantic, the naval
service headquarters announced to-

Thirty-one men were believed to
have been saved. but the command

Listed among the casualties was
Signaler James Marin Henderson,
whose nearest relative was given as
his mother, Mrs. Iris Henderson
Of Washington, D. C.
The Margaree, acquired recently
from the British Royal Navy, was
travelling without lights in the sub
marine zone of the North Atlantic.
The merchant vessel also was with
out lights, in accordance with pre-
scribed precautions.
Second Canadian Naval Loss.
The merchant vessel apparently
did not suffer much damage be-
cause survivors Of the warship were
taken aboard her and the ship was
en- route to Canada.
1t was the second Canadian naval
loss of the war and similar to the
first. the sinking by collision of the
Destroyer Fraser in June of the
French coast with loss Of As men.
Naval service headquarters at
Ottawa deeply regrets to announce
that H. M. c. S. Margaree was lost
in collision with a large merchant
ship in the North Atlantic Ocean
during the night hours of October
o." the statement said
Both ships were completely dark
ened at the time in accordance with
the submarine zone.
Thirty one Believed Saved.
Some survivors were rescued by
the merchant ship and are en- route
to Canada. 1t is believed there was
A total of I'll officers and men on
board the Margaree. OF this num-
ber 81 are believed to have been
saved. The rest are presumed to
have been lost"
Comdr, Roy was on his first de-
stroyer assignment aboard the Mar
garee
The ship was reported to have
sailed from Britain October 13 for
duty overseas"
Sub. 1t. Robert Timbrell of Holly
burn, British Columbia, who sur
vived the Fraser disaster and gained
the Distinguished Service Gross for
valor during the evacuation of the
British Army from Dunkerque, was
aboard the Margaree He again es-
capped death.
Did Patrol Work at Narvik.
The 1.375-ton Margaree. formerly
the Diana. was named after a Ca
madam river. She did patrol work
at Narvik, Norway, and before that
was a part of the British Far East
ern, Mediterranean and home units.
She was commissioned in the Royal
Canadian Navy September 6.
Relatives of the missing men were
notified before official disclosure of
the disaster was made.
The loss reduced the destroyer
strength of the Canadian Navy to
IL. including the six former United
States destroyers recently acquired.

madam Navy since the war began
now total 213 dead and missing,

should be a very large Roosevelt
Jimmy" Cromwell. Not only does
Senator Barbour have considerable
labor support, with Carl Holder
man of labor'S Non-Partisan League
and Frank Mooney, a leader in the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
backing him, but he also has an
extremely well-financed campaign
of his own. Indeed, the opinion is
expressed here and there that Sem
ator Barbour will run first in num-
ber of votes on the Republican
ticket, outdiStancing Mr. Willkie.
This would be strange, however, in
view of the tremendous activity of
the Willkie clubs, Republican and
Democratic, in this State.
Friends Work Strongly.
Mr.. WILKES friends in New Jer-
sey went to the bat for him in a
big way before the Republican ma
tional convention, despite the fact
that New York'S Tom Dewey had
run away with the presidential
preferential primary in this State.
And during the convention they
were able to swing the States dele
cation away from Mr.. Dewey and
into the Willkie camp almost i'm
mediately. 1t will be curious mani
festation if in the coming election
the G.. o. P. presidential nominee
does not run at the head of the
party ticket.
Mr.. Hendrickson, the Republican
nominee for Governor, has been
president of the State Senate. He
is a war veteran and has a good
record. If, however, the Hoffman
faction throws him down and many
of the Republicans in the populous
"commuter" counties near New York
City should vote for Mr.. Edison, it
may go hard with Mr.. Hendrickson.
At present the Republicans have
II and the Democrats only three
members of the New Jersey delega-
ton in the House. 1t is expected
that there will be little, probably
no change in the makeup of the
delegation in the next Congress.

To swing the State of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Willkie would have to
win the equivalent of every other
person who voted for Mr.. Roosevelt

OF his carrying Texas is shown by
the fact that he would have to have
something equal to a 43 per cent

u. 5. Taking Census
OF Skilled Workers
For Defense Tasks
l3 Offices Are Set Up;
Unnecessary Movement
Of Labor Fought

The United States Employment
Service of the Social Security Board
is taking a sort of census of skilled
workers to provide information on
the availability of laborers for de-
fense industries.
The board announced last night
that the enumeration and location
of the workers is being carried on
through 13 especially established
regional offices-in Washington,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia
Cleveland, Chicago, Birmingham,
Minneapolis. Kansas City, Austin,
Tex: San Francisco, Seattle and
Denver.
For the last few months, it was
learned, the bureau has been obtain
ing from the State employment
services comprehensive and detailed
labor market reports, showing the
number and type of workers who are
registered with State employment
services as available for employ
ment in defense industries.
Other information, being obtained
by direct canvass of about 20 900
employers in defense industries, COW
ers each employers current labor
needs and his requirements for the
next so days.
This material indicates the type
and number OF workers needed ana
the period of time for which they
are expected to be employed. In
addition. the United States En-
ployment Service expects to have
advance information on potential
labor shortages in any area or occu-
patton through reports on the kind
of Jobs which State agencies have
had difficulty in filling locally.
The national labor clearance
machinery is designed to minimize
unplanned and unnecessary move
ment of workers from one area to
another following rumors of Jobs.

A shift of a little more than
100000 votes from President Roose-
velt to Alf M. Landon in 1936-only
5 per cent of the total vote-would
have elected Mr.. Landon. This
year the results should be very much
closer.
The actual figures for popular
vote in 1886 were, Mr.. Roosevelt
g. per cent, Mr.. Landon 38 per
cent (Mr. Roosevelt 523 electoral
votes, Mr.. Landon 81, but much of
this national lead came from the
South. There in some States Mr..
Roosevelt obtained 81 per cent and

Men come right out directly WlLh a bald-faced lie.
 Women, in contrast, seldom lie directly but make evasive answers, misleading gestures and in general send others off an false trail without coming out in the open with a tangible lie.
 Mems lies are easier to detect since they are crude, while wonl- ems lies are made with such finesse and mostly by implication so it's is diffiult to trip the mup. The ultimate result, of course is that it is more difficult for the actual truth to be extracted from woman.
 Woman may be bigger liars, but apparently they are better ones.
 These modern lie detectors ln- struments are their nemesis, for the sensitive cord tape trips up the obliuue lie of woman just as read ilv as hte direct lie of man.
