B-J Bowling Paragraphs
BY BOB PALMER

The Blues maintained their slen- der two game lead over the Stars, the Reds continued their drive to get out of the cellar and the Eagles snapped an II game losing streak that at glance is the way things went in the Patriotic Pin league last week.
 Now that the Whites have cooled of-temporarily at least-the Reds are the new sensations of the league. Winning but four out of their first 21 games, wasn't exactly 8 bad start-it was beyond that. But since then the team led by Jo- seph Howell had bagged seven out of their last nine contests to pull up on even terms with Bill Cor mans Eagles.
 Well Gertie Gangloff finally had her night. She set new high three for the girls with an even 300 and was a big factor in the Eagles win ming that last game from the Stars. And it was not Gert's fault the Eagles did not win any of the first two because she rolled 94 and 1O8 in her first two tries.
 Jack and more Jack! Jackie Hy- land has replaced Jack Andrews in that cecond spot for the Eagles. Jack is new to the pin game but should improve with leaps and bounds for he's a natural born ath- lete as his baseball buddies will att test.
 Eddie Duhamel says he is satis- fled as long as he keeps his average above Bill Christie and Christie says ts 6 GkslktlsS x L@ keeps his team above Duhamels. This week wifi go Q long way to decide both. The two teams with only a pair of games separating them from first and see

Ry HENRY AEERHI,

Raleigh, Oct 3l.-NOrth CarOlina'S
Federation of Labor has grabbed
time by the fOrclOck and has launch
cd its legislative campaign more than
two months ahead Of the General As
sembiyS converting date.
President &. A. Fink Of Salisbury
is known to feel that setbacks of the
1889 legislative session were due very
largely to the fact that many of the
law makers were unacquainted with
Labor'S program. There wasn't time
or opportunity to make them familiar
with it, once the session was under
way, with the result that most of the
Federation's pet projects were rather
Jru>queiy rejected.
With this in mind the Federation
president has prepared a pamphlet
setting out the entire legislative pro-
cram his organization will back this
time: and has sent copies Of it 10
every candidate FOR the Senate and

French Leader Stakes
Frances Future on
Collaboration With
Germany; Cites Total-
itarian Victories.
BY ROY p. PORTER.

Paris, Oct. "a DcIaycd--via Bcr-
Inject. 3l.-(AP)-Vicc Premier
Pierre Laval before his historic in
tcrvicw with Adolf Hitler told me he
believed democracy in the modern
world in all countries is dead and
that he was taking Frances future
on collaboration with nazi Germany
Laval said he based his belief in
The passing Of democracy on the al
most unoppoScd victories marked up
bv the totaIitarian powers in the last
year.
! received the definite impression
from the French leader that ne
earnestly desired the defeat of Eng
land as the cOiIOrary to the French
German collaboration" now agreed
upon in principle.
Laval said the future of France de-
pended on the friends she made at
this time.
What happened when Hitlc" and
Laval met near Paris, Or perhaps
in the capital itself, remains a secret,
but ali authorized sources agree it
had more Ia 10 with the continuation
Of the present war than in trying 10
stop The conflict.
THtrr Chief OF State Pctain met
Hitler md it vas stated they agreed
on the principle Of collaboration "fOr
rccpnStlUctin% the peace Of Europe. y
one explanation which bears out
LavaI'S views is the recent handing
over Of all French Atlantic ports not
actually in the combat zone To the
French. Thus the defense Of the
French coast against possible British
att ok would be left 10 the Vichy
army and navy and the
Germans could occupy themselves
elsewhere.

STRAND

Performances this evening at the popular Warner Bros. Strand con- clude the engagements of George Brent and Virginia Bruce in "The Man Who Talked Too Much"; also Cesar Romero in Lucky Cisco Kid"
 A four star hit comes to the screen at the Strand tomorrow afternoon when "The Mortal Storm" with Margaret Sullavan, James Stewart, Frank Morgan and Robert Young opens a four day engagement as the headliner of the fine twin bill.
 Adapted from the powerful Phyl- lis Bottome best-seller 1t concerns itself with the story of a family caught in the upheaval of a political storm. It unfolds the timely and heart-stirring narrative of a family somewhere in Europe" happy, con- tented, tolerant, then suddenly awakening to find itself in the throes of a new order of things re- sulting from political oppression.
 Miss Sullavan and James Stewart, whom Strand patrons remember for their brilliant performances in ''The Shop Around the Corner" leave comedy behind to portray roles of stark dramatic intensity. Morgan, who also appeared with the stars in their former success, again gives a brilliant performance, making g complete about face from his fa- miliar comedy parts to portray

STATE

Ending tonight at the air condi- tioned Warner Bros. State theater is "River's End" with Dennis Mor- gan, George Tobias and a large cast; also Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie in Gross Country Romance"
 Starting tomorrow afternoon the State will present a new thrilling frontier action epic, "When the Dal- tons Rode," with Randolph Scott and Kay Francis in the leading roles.
 The film is packed with action from beginning to end as the most reckless renegades in history ride again. The Daltons, most famous of all the midwestern outlaws, are recreated on the screen by Brian Don1evy, Broderick Crawford, Stuart Erwin and Frank Albertson, while other important roles are filled by George Bancroft, Andy Devine, Mary Gordon, and Harvey Stephens.
 Tracing the careers of the Daltons from their ranching days, the film carries them through a series of daring exploits climaxed by the celebrated raid on Coffeyville, Kan, in 1892, when the gang was de- stroyed while staging the only dou- ble bank robber in frontier history.
 Miss Francis plays the first "out- door" role of her career appearing as the winsome telegraph operator in Coffeyville, a character based on the real-life sweetheart of one of the Daltons. Scott is seen as the frontier lawyer who befriends the Dalton boys and helps bring group of land company crooks to justice.
 Rounding out the program will be Warner Bros laugh and love hit, Ladies Must Live" Two popular stars, Wayne Morris and Rosemary Lane, are co-starred in the leading roles. Roscoe Karns, Lee Patrick and George Reeves head the sup porting cast.
 Don't fail to see this splendid show, at the State starting tomor- row, and remember, the State is air conditioned for your good health and comfort.
