RALEIGH. A movement to
place North Carolina solidly in
the Roosevelt-for- president CO.
1uTnn was launched Sunday at
"a meeting of Democrats, many of
whom occupy high places in the
state party's inner circles.
At the meeting, which was
secretly called and received no

Dina for Roosevelt" organization
was established, which opened
headquarters in Raleigh Monday.
John H. Folger of Mounty Airy,
former state senator, was named
chairman Of the organization, and
State Senator John D. Larkins,
Jr., of Trenton, was elected secre-
tary.
Aim of the organization, as out
lined by Folger, is to throw the
states rs votes in the Democratic
convention to President Roosevelt
if ne decides to sect a third term.
On the first balloting, however,
the delegates would cast courtesy
votes for Governor Hoey.

RECENT COLD SNAP
DAMAGES TRUCK CROPS

MT. OLIVE. = The most re-
cent attempt Of winter to remain
ruler of the weather kingdom has
cost eastern Carolina truck farm
ers heavily in damage done to
early truck crops by the cold
wave which struck this section
Friday night, preceded by rain
and accompanied by chilling
winds.
Probably the most seriously-af-
fected crop in the Mt. Oliver
area is the string beans, most OF
which had sprung up to about
two inches above the ground.
Many of the tender leaves were
left dropping to the earth and in
many cases were turned black by
the cold wind of Saturday. Loss
in this section was estimated by
one farmer to be rs per cent.
Irish potatoes, which have been
planted several weeks, and which
were a little more advanced than
the beans, also suffered in the
cold, Farmers around here in
specting their crops Saturday
morning, were of the opinion
however, that the spuds Jared
better at the hands of the cold
than the beans.

notwithstanding against

BILE ring of steel around Oslo,
their German-conquered capital,
where seven Nazi warships are
reported bottled up.
With their forces clinging to
positions along Oslo Fjord, mar
row waterway leading to Oslo, a
defense semi circle already was
reported established running from
Moss, 35 miles to the south,
thence east and north to Halden
so miles away. To complete the
ring Notifications were being
thrown up in the broad valleys Of
the northwest.
Elsewhere, the Norwegian gov
eminent conceded that the Ger

ger on the southeast coast; Ber-
gen, on the west coast, and Mar
vik, on the northern coast.

GERMANS ATTEMPT TO
BOMB NORWAY'S KING

LONDON. - The Norwegian
government said Sunday in note
that Germany angered because
King Haakon refused to negotiate
personally with the German
minister in Oslo, evidently had
ordered Nazi planes to make an
attack on the life of the Norwegi-
an ruler.
German planes, according to
the Norwegian governments note
to Great Britain, have bombed
each successive place in which the
king stays" after fleeing from
Oslo.
King Haakon stopped at Ny
bergsund when he fled from Oslo.
He and the government were in
hotel there at 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon when a group of
| Nazi planes came over. They
bombed the hotel but the king
and members of the government
escaped.
Earlier, Elverum, another town
where the Norwegian ruler stop
ped, practically was destroyed by
Nazi bombs.

for Claus Gunther Ernecke, SO,
missing defendant in the trial of
II men accused of plotting to
overthrow the United States
government, ended Saturday in
the basement of Brooklyn

against his life, and fearful of the
outcome of the trial in federal
court, Ernecke, a German-Ameri-
can bundsman and former troop
er in the New York national
guard, had hanged himself.
Medical examiners said he had
been dead at least SO hours. Fed
era1 agents and detectives had
been hunting him since yesterday
when he failed to appear for the
trial session and Judge Marcus
B. Campbell, FORGETTING his $500
bail, had issued a bench warrant
for his arrest.

Purvis, has been in disagreement
with a special committee set up
by President Roosevelt and head
ed by Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., to CO.
ordinate foreign purchase OF
American war materials, over
