MINORlTIES WIN
/. new YORK FOR FIR

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-tRHPres-
ident Roosevelt's victory in New
York state and the reelection of
U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner
demonstrated today the vote
pulling power and political i'm.
portance of two minor parties,
which between them furnished
the winning margins.
With 81 districts still missing,
the Presidents vote reached g.
284,592 against 3,026,688 for Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey-a 257,-
904 plurality. The President car
ried the state in 1910 by 224,400.
The state vote of 6,311, 286 sur
passed the 1910 record of $780,
500.
Dewey's republican vote in New
York state exceeded President
Roosevelt's on the democratic
line, just as the late Wendell Will
kie's did in 1910. This time the
minor party role was even more
effective in giving the President
New York's At electoral votes.
The two parties-the eight-year-
old American Labor party headed
by Sidney Hillman, chairman of
the CLIO Political Action commit
tee, and the six-months-old Lib
eral party-polled more than $780,
600 votes for Mr.. Roosevelt and
Wagner. In. 1910 the ALP, which
then included the men who now
are the Liberal party leaders,
gave the President 417,000 votes.
The two parties also played an
important role in the unseating
Of the veteran republican Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish by Aug
ustus FW. Bennett, a republican,
who had won. the democratic and
ALP nominations without opposi-
ton.

Veniire Stalls
Graft Inquiry
BY FRANK MORRIS

MASON. June l4-Michigan's
first big legislative bribery trial
was stalled this morning over
charges by defense attorneys that
the state has had secret time
to check on prospective jurors.
Because a list of so new
veniremen was given TO the state
police yesterday. Judge John
Simpson, assigned here from
Jackson for the trial of % tegisla-
tors and business men, said he
may order a long recess so that
the defense will have equal time
to look into the identity OF the
men and women who may decide
the fate of the defendants.
The dispute, arousing tempers
on both sides of the attorneys
table, broke just before adjourn
ment yesterday when it was
brought out that the list Of new
jurors was drawn Monday and
given TO the state police yes
terday morning.
CLEAR THE AIR"
Judge Simpson said after court
that all so men and women would
be dismissed in order to clear
the air" Special Prosecutor Sig
Ter denied he had seen the list or
that the state was attempting TO
take unfair advantage Of the de-
Tense. but he agreed that a new
panel should be drawn.
When court opened today, how
ever, Judge Simpson proposed
that the defendants accept the
new veniremen after time had
been given them to study the list.
This proposal was being dis
eussed at conference OF the
several defense attorneys.
LIST GIVEN SHERIFF
County Clerk Ross Hilliard e.
planned that he had given the list
10 Sheriff Allen Mcdonald so that
the jurors could be subpenaed,
had sent a copy to local printer,
and had given another copy TO an
unidentified state policeman.
II protest that all new panels
should be drawn In the presence
Of the defense attorneys or the
defendants" Youngjohn argued.
II insist that copies should
not be given q day In advance
to state troopers who are work
Ing for the prosecution"
Judge Simpson ordered a new
panel prepared today
The process OF selecting a jury
10 decide the fate of the % de-
PENDANTS dragged YEARLY into the
third day OF the trial. So far So
prospective jurors have been chal-
lenged either By the defense or
by Sigfer.

X-RAY EQUIPMENT
IS RECEIVED HERE

Necessary apparatus for the TAX
ing of x-Ray pictures to deter
mine whether or not patients pos
sess tuberculosis or other serious
chest ailments has been received
by the Board of Health and will
be put into immediate operation,
according to DR.. A. H. Elliot, city
county health officer.
DR.. Elliot declared that the
new equipment, Westinghouse
unit which works in conjunction
with the Horoscope machine, will
be used only for charity patients
recommended by local doctors for
the service.
A schedule for use of the X-Ray
equipment will be maintained at
intervals.
DR.. Elliot described the new
addition, which comes to this coun.
ty as an indirect result of the
sales of tuberculosis Christmas
seals, as being of the greatest
importance in the controlling OF
the spread of tuberculosis among
persons unable to afford proper
medical attention. He said that the
x-Ray method of examining pa.
tients was the most effective in
determining the existence of dis.
ease, as detail is much clearer in
X-Ray pictures.

JOB STERILIZATION
PLAN IS CLARIFIED

Approximately sc war workers
in the Wilmington area who quit
their jobs last week are ineligible
ito even request statements OF
availability, Felix A. Scroggs,
manager of U. S. Employment
Service, asserted Thursday as he
made clear certain points in the
Sterilization program that are be-
ing overlooked by some. persons
leaving defense jobs here.
Scroggs pointed out that one of
the requirements Of securing a re-
lease is that a person must re-
main on the job while his request
for release is being considered.
Every week the Employment
office receives written requests for
statements of availability f r m
persons who have voluntarily quit
and gone home" he said. ''1n
doing this, the worker ties the
hands Of the Employment Service
in that we are not allowed to even
accept request for a statement
of availability until he returns to
work at the war industry. If he
does not return to work, he can.
not be employed legally by any
employer, whether he is essential
or non-essential, without making
both himself and his new employer
liable to prosecution.
Scroggs emphasized the neces
sity for any person desiring tt
leave defense industries to file his
request for statement of avail
ability with the Employment Serv
ice before he terminates.

Driver George T: Campbell,
white, Of Mayfield. N. c.. operat-
ing the 1912 Dodge tractor oil-tank-
er owned by o. c. Crump OF New
Bern told the Highway Patrol he
was moving at a speed of 20 miles
an hour when he observed flames
shooting from the floor of the
tractor.
Immediately, he pulled to the
shoulder Of the road, stopped, and
climbed out to see the whole trac.
ter ablaze. Soon the trailer was
consumed in flames.
The various fire fighting and law
enforcement units were on the
scene in time to halt the fire and
prevent the entire loss of the 5000
gallon load.
The hour OF the accident was
1880 a. m.
1t is believed that leakage in
the gas line from the tractor mo.
tor was responsible for the fire.
