CARTER GLASS
ENDORSES FDR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-4Rt-
Stephen Early, White House sec
rotary, said today Senator Carter
Glass had sent President Roose-
welt his love and had confirmed
a report That he would vote for
fourth term.
The 86-year-old Virginia demo-
Gratis son, Powell Glass, asserted
in Lynchburg, Va, last night that
he had "every reason to doubt the
truth of a report that the elder
Glass had te1ephoned James F.
Byrnes, War Mobilization director,
and said he was for Roosevelt.
Glass himself, ill at his hotel
apartment here for many months,
could not be reached by report
ers. The hotel said the "Glass
apartment does not answer" on
the telephone. Byrnes' office de-
clined to comment.
Early, calling reporters into
his office this afternoon, told
them:
st have just had a telephone
call from Senator Glass at his
apartment in the Mayflower and
he said he had noticed that Jim
my Byrnes' report of his CONVEX
sation the other night had been
questioned. He wanted to tell me
that Jimmy's statement as trans
mitted to you of me is accurate.
He wanted me to tell the Presi-
dent he is voting for him and to
give the President his love-
Byrnes made fourth term
speech Monday night. On Tuesday
Early told reporters that congrat-
ulatory telephone calls received
by Byrnes after the speech in
Guided one from the senator, who
stayed up past his usual bed
time to hear the speech. Early
reported that Glass called Byrnes'
speech one of the best of the cam
paign and said it expressed his
own views on why the President
should be elected again.
Senator Glass, often at odds with
the Roosevelt administration on
domestic policies, was a third
term opponent, and nominated
James A. Farley at the 1910 demo-
cratic national convention. He
atsSunced after Mr.. Roosevelt
won denomination, however, that
ne would support the ticket.
Ill since 1912, Glass had taken
no open part previously, for or
against the fourth term. He lives
in the hotel apartment with his
second wife, the former Mrs.
Mary Scott Meade of Amherst,
Va, many years his junior, whom
he married in 1910, at the age OF
81. The first Mrs. Glass died
in 1887.
His son, general manager Of the
senator's newspaper, the Lynch
burg News and Advance issued q
statement last night in connection
with the reported Byrnes call
saying:
$50 far as I know my father
had not made any announcement
in favor of fourth term. I have
every reason to believe that he
had not done so to repeat:
I have every reason to doubt the
truth of the White House spokes-
mans statement, but, unfor-
tunately, my fathers health does
not permit of direct contact with
him at the present time fer dis.
cussion Of business.
At Lynchburg, Powell Glass
said tonight that he had no fur
Their comment to make on the
matter.

SPAIN BECOMES NEW
WORLD TROUBLE SPOT

First flames of revolt against Franco
are squirting and unless all signs are as
kew, a new trouble spot is we'll on the
way which will rapidly become of inter
national moment. That a revolt is on is
not as much a surprise as that it has been
so long coming.
Franco has never been secure. He left
a bloody trail in his rise to power and
only the advent of the global war per-
mitted him to stay in power this long.
His success and his security largely are
because of the benevolent attitude OF the
United States and Britain. And this pol
icy admittedly built around the desire
to keep Spain neutral, can not now be
continued At least the necessity. if it
was that, has been removed with the rap
id and certain conquest of Germany.
No matter what program America and
England follow as the revolution assumes
meaningful proportions, France will be
in sympathy with the revolutionists, or
Republicans as they are labeled. And
as soon as France is able she will take
an active part. This is certain. The lead
ers in the revolt against Franco, and
many of the rebels, have fought in France
against the Nazis. France will be inter
ested in clearing forever all of nazism
within her own borders and can not af-
ford to let it even have place to breed
in Spain or any other adjacent power.
The years during which Franco ran
mad do not leave pretty picture as re-
CARDS other powers. The great powers
of then, Russia, Italy, Germany, Britain
and the United States have nothing to be
proud about in that picture.
There are those who believe still that
the Allies never should have truckled to
Franco or to have bartered for his neu
trality. They foresaw that that attitude
only postponed final issue, and as the
revolution develops their views seem to
have been we'll founded. 1t may be con-
sidered sufficient compensation for the
do-nothing policy that the Franco war
opened the way for a second French Le-
gion'' where citizens of the world, inde-
pendently made themselves heroes and
fiction writer's became plutocrats through
best sellers written around that nations
grandeur in the bloody thrOes of a disas-
trous war
Shall there be repetition of diplo-
matte bungling?

THE GOOD Die YOUNG

(RlVefSlde DAILY PreSS)
Somehow it was rather frightening to
read of the death of MitSuru Toyama-
frightening because so few Of Us had ever
heard of him. He died in his Goth year,
carrying to his grave the unchallenged
distinction of having been one OF the most
evil men in recorded history.
It is impossible to catalog all his
crimes here TOyama was a professional
assassin. q man who combined the bloody
ruthlessness of a Black Hand leader and
q gangster chief He founded the Black
Dragon Society. He planned and engln-
eered every japanese war for the past 5O
wears. He controlled the courts, terrified
the press. dominated the emperor. he
arranged the alliance with Germany. He
wiped out the peace-loving officials IN
the cabinet assassinatiOns Of 1882 and
1896. He was the author of the Greater
East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. ToJo
was his protege, his hand-picked choice
for war premier.
Tovama was the man who decreed
Pearl Harbor His murders, direct ana
indirect. must surpass those OF Hitler
and Himmler.
The evil that he did lives after him. and
the last war he started will cost yet more
innocent lives before it grinds his country

of the japanese poison seems TO nave
been removed.
And millions Of Americans who never
before heard the name of Mltsuru loya-

New is the time for self-appointed
political experts to make their pre-
dictions on the outcome of the cleo
ton. writing the expected results on
a piece of paper. carefully putting it
away. and then dragging it out on
the morning after to show what
smart fcrecasters they really were.
President Roosevelt does this, only
he admits that he has never been
right ON his predictions.
But you. too, can play this kind
of political solitaire, and as a con-
venience to those who care to in
dulge in this harmless pastime,
there is presented here check list
of qustions on the outcome of this
election. Write your own answers
and file fer culture reference:
/. Will Roosevelt run up greater
Electoral College vote than that by
which he beat Willkie in 1910, when
the count was 449 to 80? He beat
Hoover, 472 to So and he beat Lam
don, 523 to g.
2. How many more states will
Dewey carry in 1914 than the 10
states Willkie carried in l94C?
3. The total number of votes cast
in the presidential election of 1910
was 49,815,312. How much bigger
will the popular vote be in 1914?
4. The 1910 popular vote was di-
vided roughly 27,OOO,OO0 for Roose-
velt. 22,00O,O00 for Willkie. Roose-
welt winning by 100000. What will
tie difference be in 1914 and which
way?

to see that the call was COM

ANY task well done is not a mental
