Vision of Christ Excites Village
LEWES, England, Nov. 7 (U. P.).—Ten persons at the village of Firle reported today that they
had seen a vision of Christ in the sky last night. A shepherd named Fowler who was tending his flock on the’ downs, said the vision appeared first as a white line which slowly spread across the sky, forming an image of Christ on the Cross, attended by six angels with long white wings, one of whom was playing a.harp. The vision faded after two minutes, Fowler said, and he rushed to the village and found others had seen-the same thing. An evacuee, Mrs. Steer,, and her sister, Mrs. Evans said they “could see the nail in the crossed feet of Christ, and one of the angels with arms upstretched, who seemed to be praying.” Seven other villagers made similar statements. They took the vision as a ‘sign of a British victory.”

30 TERM LIMIT DOUBTFUL NOW
Voters Nok Inferes Interested, Says Burke, Who Sought An Amendment. By FRED W. PERKINS
Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—When Tuesday's votérs scrapped the third-term tradition, they also poured cold water on efforts to limit the Presidential tenure by Constitutional amendment. “The voters have decided they are not interested,” said Senator Edward R. Burke (D. Neb.), “and so far as I am concerned the subject is closed. From now on a President may serve four or five or six terms, or for life, If he is able to obtain enough popular support.” Senator Burke heads a Senate subcommittee which in recent months held long hearings, with testimony by many distinguished witnesses, on proposals for a limitation of Presidential terms. The hearings were based ‘on Senator Burke's resolution to submit a Constitutional amendment prescribing a single six-year term, and on an amendment proposed by Senator H. Styles Bridges (R.N.H.) which would write the two-term tradition into the Constitution. Senator Burke's Congressional service ends soon, as he was defeated for renomination. In addition to Mr. Burke and Mr. Bridges, only Senator Alexander Wiley (R. Wis.) has been active in the Senate for a two-term limitation.

PHILIP MURRAY PROPOSED FOR C. I. 0. LEADER
Lewis” Union Officials See Him in Dominant Role as Labor Peacemaker.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (U. P.).— Philip Murray, soft-spoken mine and steel workers union executive; seemed to have a dominant role to-
labor. Peace between the A F. of L. and the C. I. O. split by four years of bitter strife, had become a live issue following the election. C. 1. O. officials here proposed Mr. Murray as successor to John L. Lewis as president of the C. I. O, Most of them took it for granted that Mr. Lewis would give up the non-salaried job because he had promised that he would if President Roosevelt were re-elected. There were other sources that hinted that Mr. Murray might be considered as Secretary of Lakor, should Mr. Roosevelt reorganize his Cabinet.
Murray Would Suit Lewis
Mr. Murray had no comment. The reports began following Mr. Roosevelt’s disclosure yesterday at Hyde Park that unification of labor may be the first goal of his third administration. The impression was 2urrént at C. 1. O. headquarters that Mr. Murray was about the only leader who would not encounter Mr. Lewis’ opposition for the post should Mr. Lewis vacate and devote himself to his $25,000 ® year job as president of the United Mine Workers. ‘There was every indication that the issue “of unity of the labor movement would come up at both the C. I. O. and A. F. of L. conventions which start simultaneously 10 days hence at Atlantic City, N. J., and New Orleans.
Green Congratulates F. D. R.
A. F. of L. President William Green opened the way for unification in a telegram congratulating Mr. Roosevelt on his re-election. Mr. Lewis’ aids frankly admitted that Mr. Roosevelt would be able to exert considerable pressure on many C. I. O. unions. The labor leader was represented as fearing that Mr. Roosevelt might insist on union of the two labor groups at the expense” of the C. L 0O.s industrial organization principles.
La Guardia Post Hinted
Mr. Lewis, as head of the U. M. W. with a membership of 600,000, would have a strong voice in selecting a new C. I. O. leader. It was said at C. I. O. headquarters that he probably would prevent the election of R. J. Thomas of the United Automobile Workers and was certain to block Sidney Hillman, labor coordinator of the National Defense Commission, should he be proposed. Labor circles spoke of Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New York City as a possible Secretary of Labor.
