Announcing Of Race
Next Year Seen In
O’Daniel’s Talk
AUSTIN, Nov. 20 (P.P)—Social
security today was catapulted in-1
to the 1940 state political races—
perhaps as the chief issue.
Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel, elected
on a campaign of $30-a-month, for
all over 65, put it there yesterday
in announcing his refusal to call
a legislative session to consider
a bill presented with 81 represen-
tatives as sponsors.
. Plan To Run Seen.
“Obviously,” ho said, “the so-
cial security problem is not going
to be solved until it is solved by.
the people ' themselves and this
they can do, and I think will do,
in 1940."
The declaration was viewed here
as a tentative announcement of
his own candidacy for a second
term and an appeal to the people
to elect 150 representatives and 16
senators ’who have definite plat-
forms, on old age pension, teacher”
retirement,.children’s.ajd and help--.’-
for blind people.

LONDON, Nov. 20. O)—-Naval authorities today listed 14 ships
sunk with heavy loss of life in’the last nine days, ami added that they
believed Germany's unrestricted sea warfare had begun.
The loss of the British collier Torchbearer and possibly nine of
its crew of 13, was reported this morning. It was’the seventh victim
of mines in the North Sea since Saturday,. The list also included the
4,258-ton British ship Vensilva, "sunk since Saturday,” and the 345-
ton British ship Wigmore, lost in the North Sea with a crew of 16.
Naval authorities insisted that the mines were German, because,
they said British mines-arc so equipped that they are harmless after
they break from their moorings. A I.—
a week-end gale apparently had
scattered German mines, driving
them in- on the British isles and
the Danish and Belgian couats, but
British authorities said the mines

submarines, and had not drifted
