ROOSEVELT TO RETAIN POWER Top Heavy Senate And House Majorities Will Continue (Copyright. 1934. bv I P.l New York. Nov 6 'LLP> Amer loan voters today are electing a potentially radical congress. It will convene Jan 1 and may drive big business and big bankers tn President Roosevelt in defensive coalition against: 1. Exorbitant relief and PWA expenditures. 2. Currency inflation in various forms. 3. Additional statutory privileges for labor's masses. Democra’s claim’d some 33,000,. oa<» voters are piling up bigger house and senate majorities for the administration today. Postmaster General James A. Farley Informed Mr. Roosevelt in a final report that the party would gain six senate seats. Democrats hope io bold house losses to 10. Republicans expect some senate losses. But chairman Henry P. Fletcher has made predictions of trains in the house The top Re publican claim was GO to 70 seats — made as the campaign ended. ■Former President Hoover want •fl in California that prospective overwhelming Democratic control of congress jeopardized American institutions. Party lines are scrambled in this first national polling since the new deal smashed to power in 1932. New parties have emerged from political disorder and may by next polling time supplant the old Confusion of party alignments prevents a satisfactory national ref-! erendum on the Roosevelt administratiuu Social, monetary ami rei.it iti policies and experiments. But tn the aggregate, top heavy house and senate Democratic majorities will be maintained in an off j ear vote of confidence for Mr. Roosevelt A steady business upturn would slow any congressional bolt on money and most other issues I which otherwise may go to a presidential veto decision this winter. Ho long as 10,000,000 persons are jobless the congressional drive for extraordinary remedies is likely to be vigorous and difficult to check. The October truce between Am evican bankers and the administra ■ on was indicative of the feeling of big business that ...r, Roosevelt nay become the buffer between things as they are and a congress inclined toward considerable further change. Large Democratic majorities in both houses are assured. But those big majorities will be dbmposed of h’oes and factions pledged to special legislative projects Numerical Democratic suneriority does not assure White House control. — o- - — MOOSE WOMEN PLAN MEETING c-nNTTsrr'Fr- Fin" rm» nNBII class.

REPOST SOON ON SHIPDISASTER Spontaneous Combustion I Likely To Be Verdict Os Board Washington, Nov. fi — (UP) — Spontaneous combustion —not comI munist bombs, arson plots or lightning—probably, caused the Morro j Castle tragedy. Dickerson N. Hoover. assistant director of the U. S. bureau of navigation and steamboat I inspection, will say In his report j this week. Y I The United Press Larned today I that Hoover has submitted his 117 page formal report on his findings of the disaster to Se- retary of Com I merce Daniel C. Roper. A copy of the r port was hushed ■ by n special agent to United States . attorney Martin Comb y of New York, for study in connection with i possible criminal proceedings. i The criminal division of the de- ( partment of justice here is working j with Comboy in analyzing the re- , rt and the result of t'omboy's own I inquiries into the tragedy, whkh /took 124 lives. They are seeking •to determine whether there are grounds for crimirxi! proceedings gor alleged negligftce. The findings, it was learned, will i advance the theories that the fire started from spontaneous combn-s---i tion either in the hold, where hides and other commodities were stored, or in the famous library locker, I where testimony at hearings in New j York developed infkimmable fluid ; and rags were kept. Hoover's report will discuss the I possibilities of how the flames sped iso rapidly through the structure of the ship. This disclosure is aimed to end reports of "spite” plots against the Ward -Line and comes, while acting captain Willtam F. Warms and four f his subordinates are facing - trial on charges of negligence before bureau inspectors in New York City. o — F. D. R.
