I had a few bad moments when,! \ with the United Press chauffeur, f Rafael Nava,rro, I got separated ! from the loyalist government' : forces defending the national capi-, tai and surrendered to the rebels.

Armstrong, party treasurer, said the membership now represented 130,000 labor organizations. "We shall go on together to build the American Labor party, the party of hope and progress," Armstrong said. "The party of the great ma- | jorlty of Americans to whom even a dime or a quarter contribution is | more of a sacrifice than a million dollar contribution to the l)n Ponte and the Hearsts " Sen.

FIRE DAMAGES I | BLACK FUNERAL i HOME TUESDAY Heavy Damage Is Caused By Fire Late Tuesday Night In one of the most disastrous i fires ot recent months, a con-1 flagration at the S. E. Black funerej home on Adams street last uight at 11 o'clock resulted in t heavy loss. Harold Strickler, enroute homo, j first noticed the flames curling I up the walls of the small room on the west side of the newly decor-. ated home, and turned in the alarm I shortly before 11 o'clock.

I Mr. and Mrs. Black, who were asleep, were awakened by the | crashing of the large bay window i ip, the front room, which gave way fW>m the heat of the flames. The exact origin of the* fire is ■ not known. Fire Chief Charles ■ Robenold stated 'hat it was likely ; the flames had started from dei fective wiring, possibly in the , neon sign. Estimates of the damage ranged i from several hundred dollars to j over one thousand dollars. The newly redecorated front : parlor of the funeral home, as, well a.s the office, was totally ruined by the flames. The furniture, fixtures, walls, floors and i ceiling were burned. The pips organ. purchased about 18 months ago, which was located in the vestibule, escaped j with a discoloration of the pipes.

Oct. 28.— (U.R) —Mrs. Wallis Simpson, angered and humiliated by the international sensation her divorce has caused, sought seclusion today and the right to continue in privacy a friendship with King Edward 1 which, she feels, is a personal matter between them. She may go abroad, she told the United Press in an exclusive interview. when she has found time and composure to make plans. But mindful of the stories in American newspapers—just arrived here —of her friendship with the king and her decision to divorce Ernest Simpson, she laughed bitterly when asked if she might go to the United States, and said: “No, I certainly won’t go there now. I'll never go back after all lie nasty things they’ve said about me. I could never show my face there. I never experienced anything like it in my life. I don’t know why they should talk about me in that way. Ini not important.” Mrs. Simpson, once of Baltimore, motored back to London last night after receiving at Ipswich her degree of divorce nisi which, as the Innocent party in the case, she may have made absolute —so she could remarry if she wished — in six [months, possibly less. King Edward was at his country j home at Fort Belvedere near London after a long day of official husi iness at Buckingham palace, dis[cussing with officials his speech : from the throne at the state opening of parliament next Tuesday and plans for his coronatlbn next May and his eventful visit to India to be crowned emperor. I telephoned Mrs. Simpson’s new home. 16 Cumberland Terrace, a (little before midnight last night to check up on her whereabout since she left Ipswich by automobile after her decree was granted in a 21-minute hearing.

President Reatiirms His Philosophy Os Freedom And Peace In Speech At Statue Os Liberty. 50th ANNIVERSARY Bedloe Island. New York City, Oct. 28— (U.R) —Standing at the nation's portals where have entered millions of the world's oppressed. President Roosevelt reaffirmed today his philosophy of freedom and peace. "A belter civilization than anv we have known before is in store for America.’’ lie said. The chief executive spoke in the shadow of tihe statiue of liberty, al services commemorating the 50th anniversary of its erection. His address, broadcast to the country, was n, major one but declared by White House attaches to be "non-politieal." Observers regarded it an interpretation of the hopes and aspirations of the Immigrant. coupled with the pledge to the citizenry that liberty and peace "must be guarded and vitalized anew.” ""The realization”, he said, "that we are all bound together by hope of a common future rather than by reverence for common past has helped us to build upon this continent, a, unity unapproached in any similar area or population in the whole world. For all our millions of square miles, for nil our millions of popple, there is a unity in language and speech, in law and in economics, in education and in general purpose, which nowhere finds its match.’’ Recalling that in dedicating the monument a halt century ago Grover Cleveland suggested "that liberty enlightening the world would extend her rays from these shores to every other nation.” h" declared: "Today the symbolism should be broadened. To the message of liberty which America sends to all the world must he added her message of peace. "Even in times as troubled atrl uncertain as these. I still hold to the faith that a better civilization than any we have known is in store for America and by our example. perhaps, for the world. Here destiny seems to have taken a long look. Into this continental reservoir there has been poured untold and untapped wealth of human resources. Out of that reservoir—out of the melting pot —the rich promise which the now work! held out to those who came to it from many lands is finding fulfillment. "The richness of the promise has not run out. If we keep the faith for our day as those who came before us kept the faith for theirs, then you and I can smile with condidence into the future. "It is fitting, therefore, that this ’-hould be a sen-vice of rededicaHon to the liberty and peace which this statue symbolize*. Liberty and peace nre living things. In each generation—if they are to be maintained —they must be guarded anil vitalized anew.” Some 10,000 children from the public and parochial schools were among the thousands who cheered the president when his train arrived in Bayonne from Washington.
