LA GUARDIA IS HARD PRESSED IN VOTE FIGHT Should Squeeze Through, but He Is Waging Toughest Battle of Career. BT RAY TUCKER Tlbm Staff Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Representative Fiorello La Guardia ’s political headquarters in the heart of Harlem looks more like the port of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “forgotten men” than the central office of the most spectacular congressional contest in this section of the country. While he is in the midst of one of the hardest battles of his long career, beleaguered by Tammany

and Socialist opponents, he faces hundreds of requests for Jobs and relief each twenty -hour-long day. He barely can about in the barnlike store where he has his headquarters because of the queues of waiting poorly dressed and underfed men and women. Hi s volunteer campaign managers give as much time to finding jobs as they do to finding votes for the “fighting majer.”

La Guardia's fights always are hot affairs. He has been elected and re-elected by as few as eighty votes, squeezing through despite every combination sent against him. But this year, Tammany wants to send a 100 per cent Democratic delegation to the house by defeating La Guardla and Mrs. Ruth Pratt, and no effort is being spared to clean them out. The Democrats have nominated a Democratic alderman of Italian descent, James Lanzetta. and the Socialists have entered their own candidate. Talkn Serious Questions Tammany speakers are picturing La Guardia, the real wet leader in the house, as a “Hoover dry.’’ They are claiming that he opposed Senator Wagner s unemployment legislation, although La Guardia took the lead in getting it through the house when many Tammany members showed little interest. A telegram from Wagner urging support of the whole Democratic ticket is cited as evidence the senator opposes the progressive congressman. Tammany is using the same arguments to defeat La Guardia often raised against Senator William Borah out in Idaho. "He is too much interested in national affairs, ’’ they say. “He never is around the district to do chores for his constituents. He spends too much time on the Job at Washington.’’ La Gaurdia is talking serious national questions to audiences of Americans of Italian, Puerto Rican and Irish descent. All Elements Give Aid Whereas his opponents discuss purely local issues, he is talking about banking legislation, underconsumption, a bank guarantee deposit bill and the need for increasing farmers’ purchasing power if the industrial worker is to get back his job. For many hours each night he discusses these issues from the platform of mobile trucks, and he is having tremendous meetfngs. ' The cosmopolitan district evinces keen interest in bread-and-butter matters of national scope. Almost all elements are giving voluntary and to the scrappy progressive. Senators George W. Norris of Nebraska and Hiram Johnson of California publicly have indorsed him. The American Federation of Labor, led by President William Green, plans to hold a rally for him alone. Columbia university students are stumping the district for him each night. Unless the general soreness against the “ins" is directed against him, too, he ought to squeeze through. But is is his hardest fight. THREE-DAY SHOW IS PLANNED BY FLORISTS Grower*, Greenhouse Owners and Retailer* to Have Displays.

VOTE MAY BE GERMAN DOOM

Return of Hohenzollern Dynasty Threatens Nation

BY MILTON BRONNER Eorspean Manager NEA Serrtea BERLIN, Oct. 31.—1n its thirteenth year of life, the German republic faces the possibility of being smothered to death in an avalanche of ballots. For on Nov. 6 takes place the national elections for the reichstag (congress). It is the fourth big election for the German people this year, each with its disturbing effect on what little business is left. It took two general elections to return the venerable Paul von Hindenburg to the presidency. Then Chancellor Franz von Papen dissolved the old reichstag, anew one was elected and dissolved, and now another must be elected. Voters feel “What’s the use?" for they know that if this time they elect a reichstag which displeases the new “Iron Chancellor,” it, too. may be dissolved. If the new reichstag is such that it votes “no confidence” in Von Papen and his “cabinet barons,” there is every reason to believe Von Papen will dissolve it. And that might be the end of parliamentary government in Germans'. ' Von Papen is a Junker, survivor of the militarist caste which ruled Germahy before the World war, and whose ideals and ideas linger in the German mind. Lieutenant-General Kurt von Schleicher, also no believer in democracy, is Von Papen’s chief adviser, and a formidable one. And behind and between them looms the shadow of Wilhelm Eitel Fredrich, former crown prince, now a gray-haired man of 50. The crown prince has taken active roles in recent political campaigns in Germany, despite & pledge he took not to do so when allowed to return to Germany In 1923. He has conferred with Adolf Hitler and other German political leaders, and the rumor flies through Germany that he is to be made emperor, or at least some sort of regent or dictator. a a a IT is hinted that the Von Papen government, having dissolved the reichstag, may prevail on the 85-year-old Von Hindenburg to resign, turning over the power to the Hohenzollern dynasty again through some pretext of dictatorship or of saving a beset nation. This recurring rumor is the bogey that has disturbed Europe ever since the war. especially France and her allies, Poland and Czecho-Slovakia. Von Papen has been noncommittal about a change in the form of government, has denied it is a subject for discussion, but has hinted that no outsiders can tell what form may be best for Germany. But if Von Papen only dissolves the reichstag to be elected Nov. 6, it probably will mean government by the decree laws issued under the signature of Von Papen and President von Hindenburg. and that in itself would be vir-

Democrat Lead of 11 Likely in New Senate

Most Forecasts Show That Republicans Will Be Outnumbered, 53-42. BY MARSHALL MrNEIL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 31. A Democratic majority of eleven in the senate of the next congress, thirty-three members of which will be elected Nov. 8, is probable. On the basis of most forecasts, the next senate would be composed of fifty-three Democrats, forty-two Republicans and one FarmerLa borite. Democratic victories forecast by political observers as “sure” are these nine: Alabama—Senator Hugo L. Black to defeat J. T. Johnson. Arizona—Senator Carl Hayden to defeat Ralph Cameron. Maryland—Senator Millard E. Tydings to defeat Wallace Williams. North Carolina—Robert R. Reynolds to defeat J. F. Newell. South Carolina —Senator Ellison D. Smith to defeat Clara Harrigal. In addition, senators Hattie W. Caraway in Arkansas, Duncan U. Fletcher in Florida, Walter F. George in Georgia and Overton in Louisiana have no opposition. Republican victories now reported almost “sure" are these six: Idaho—Senator Solm Thomas to defeat James P. Pope. Nevada—Senator Tasker Oddie to defeat Patrick McCarron. Oregon—Senator Frederick Steiwer to defeat W. B. Gleason. North Dakota—Senator Gerald N.ve to defeat P, W. Lanier. South Dakota —Senator Peter Norback to defeat to U. 3. G. Cherry. Vermont—Senator Porter H. Dale to defeat Fred C. Martin. In twelve states, senatorial races are in doubt, with Democrats conceded strong chances to win. These are: California—William Gibbs McAdoo (Dem.) vs. Tallant Tubbs (Rep.) vs. Rev. R. P. Shuler (Pro.). Illinois—William H. Dieterich (Dem.) vs. Senator Otis Glenn (Rep.). Indiana—Frederick Van Nuys (Dem.) vs. Senator James E. Watson (Rep.). Kentucky—Senator Alben Barkley (Dem.) vs. V- H. Thatcher (Rep.). Missouri—B. C. Clark (Dem.) vs. H. W. Kiel tßep.). Ohio—Senator Robert Bulkley (Deb.) vs. Gilbert Beettman (Rep.). Oklahoma—Senator Elmer Thomas (Dem.) vs. Wirt Franklin (Rep.). New Hampshire—Fred H. Brown (Dem.) vs. Senator George H. Moses (Rep.). Washington—H. I. Bone (Dem.) vs. Senator Wesley L. Jones (Rep.). Kansas—Senator George McGill (Dem.) vs. B. S. Paulfin (Rep.*. Colorado—A.. B. Adams (Dem.) vs. K. C.* Schuyler (Rep.). New York—Senator Robert Wagner (Dem.) vs. G. Z. Medalie (Rep.). In the six following states Republicans are looked upon as probable winners, althought the results are in doubt: lowa—Henry Field (Rep.), vs. M. Murphy Cl^pn.).

With elections to the reichstag near, Republican Germany seems likely to fall back into the hands of Junker reactionaries, perhaps even the Hohcnzollerns. Upper left, the former crown prince as he is today, a possible restorer of the monarchy;

tually the death of the German republic, as republics are understood in. America. This is likely. There seems no chance that Von Papen will command a working majority in the new reichstag. The experience of the last one shows he will not tolerate votes of “no confidence.” So the new reichstag must either be silent and “rubberstamp” Von Papen’s decrees, or face dissolution. a a a THE campaign thus far has been much less hectic than the usual German elections. Voters are weary of frequent elections. They feel that the present one is unreal and fruitless. All parties are nearly bankrupt from recent campaigns and Adolf Hitler. Nazi “spark plug” of recent campaigns, has talked himself out and is recuperating in a Bavarian mountain resort. One more split in the chaotic party situation is apparent. Hitler’s Nazi (an abbreviation for

New Jersey—Senator W. W. Barbour . (Rep.) vs. P. H. Stewart (Dem.). Pennsylvania—Senator James J. Davis (Rep.) vs. L. H. Rupp (Dem.) vs. W. J. Van Essen (Soc.). Wisconsin—J. B. Chappie (Rep.) vs. E. R. Duffy (Dem.). Connecticut—Senator Hiram Bingham (Rep.) vs. Milton Conover (Ind.-Rep.) vs. Augustine Lonergan (Dem) vs. R. S. Kling (Communist). Utah—Senator Reed Smoot (Rep.) vs. E. D. Thomas (Dem.). If the Democrats won the nine places regarded as “sure” and the twelve places regarded as probable, their party would have fifty-four representatives in the upper house. And if the Republicans won the six "sure” and six probable victories, their total vote would be forty-one. The Democrats would still have a majority of one over the Republicans if they lost half of their probable” seats. CHURCHES ARE FILLED ON ‘ROLL CALL’ DAY Several Weeks’ Drive for Increased Attendance Is Climaxed. Designated as roll call day, Sunday climaxed a several weeks’ drive for increased attendance in churches which are members of the United Protestant Church Loyalty crusade with the result that gains of from 20 per cent to as high as 126 per cent were reported. Night services in a number of the churches w’ere set aside for special recognition of women's activities. Women occupied pulpits in several of the churches, and all featured special choirs of women’s voices rendering hymns composed by women. Tuesday morning pastors of the churches will meet in the Second Presbyterian church to give individual reports of the crusade. DEMOCRATS REFUTE TAX BOOST CHARGES Cards Bearing Facts Mailed Out to Citizerit by Central Committee. Cards bearing facts about 1932 taxes are being mailed 50.000 county taxpayers by the Democratic central committee to offset propaganda that taxes have been increased,” N. J. Fox, committee representative, announced today. Information on the cards is similar to that emphasized by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan in recent addresses. “Despite a well planned move to make it appear otherwise, taxes will be practically 20 pet cent less in 1933 than they were in 1932,’ the card states. Taxpayers’ money is not be ng used to mail the cards, although tnis has been reported. Fox declared. The committee is getting information from records in the office of John C. McCloskey, Center township assessor, to which any taxpayer may have access. Fox plated out.

“Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” (National Socialist German Workers’ party) have broken with their former allies, the Nationalists, which includes the Stahlheim (steel helmets or war veterans.) Hitler, as leader of the predominant party at the last election, demanded Von Papen retire and that Hitler form a cabinet. Von Papen refused. He offered Hitler several cabinet seats. Hitler refused, demanding “all or none.” - a a a THIS majf lose ground for Hitler in the coining election/ anu he well may have passed his highest point. Many former supporters feel he should have acted when the last election gave him his chance. They were displease I when he elected to wait. This alienated support probably will go to the Nationalists and Von Papen. This alienated vote sees in them hope for en end of the constant bickering and strife that has had Ger'many on the rack for fifteen years. Von Papen gained considerable popularity from the way in which he spoke rig’ t up in meeting to France, regarding disarmament. And of course both he and Hitler are for repudiation of the Treaty of. Versailles. Communists, Centrists and oldfashioned Social Democrats are expected to hold their own. In any case it seems clear that a distraught Germany, harassed for fifteen years by the burdens left by the war, will rise in an effort to shake them off. So, two days before America chooses a President, distraught ’ Germany elects a reichstag in an election which may determine the future in Germany of Woodrow Wilson’s appeal of April 2, 1917, to congress, when he said, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” And the man* who undoubtedly will be at the helm if Germany modifies or abandons the Weimar constitution will be Franz von Papen, who wrote to his wife in Germany when he was military aid here, “I always say to these, idiotic Yankees that they would better hold their tongues.” America watches the election closely. a a a WHAT kind of a revised government Von Papen might institute is hinted by his most recent decree, which aroused unpopularity. It was designed to cure unemployment, and provided that any employer who took on new employes was authorized to reduce working hours and cut the pay of old employes in proportion. It amounted to a 25 per cent pay cut for those affected, and only about 13,000 new employes were reported. Not only the Communists, but the Nazis, fought the Nationalists on this decree.* Von Papen is known also to favor raising the voting age- to 25, which would hit hard both the Communists and the Nazis, especially the latter, for both draw largely on very young members. Von Papen also already has

To End a Cough In a Hurry, Mix This at Home Sam $2. No Cooking! So Easy!

Millions of housewives have found that, by mixing their own cough medicine, they get a purer, more effective remedy. They use a recipe which costs about one-fourth as much as readymade medicine, but which really has no equal for breaking up obstinate coughs. From any druggist, get ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add granulated sugar syrup to fill up the pint. The syrup is easily made with 2 cups sugar and one cup water, stirred a few moments until dissolved. No cooking needed. It’s no trouble at all. and makes the most effective remedy that money could buy. Keeps perfectly, and children love its taste. Its quick action in loosening the phlegm, charing the air passages, and soothing away the inflammation, has caused it to be used in more homes than any other cough remedy. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway Pine, famous for its healing effect on throat membranes. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. —Advertisement.

consolidated the government of Prussia with the national government, and has been backed up by the courts. He wishes to achieve greater national unity, a stronger military front, and a degree of socialization under state control. a a a IT is ironic that the future of the German republic, the creation of which gave hope to the 4.000,000 who put on khaki in the United States in 1918, should be in Von Papen’s hands. For it was he who, with Captain Boy-Ed, was sent home to Germany in 1916, indicted on five counts by a federal grand jury as a bomb plotter. He was believed implicated, as German military aid, in a plot to dynamite the Welland canal. \ He served in the German armies thereafter as staff colonel, and entered politics after the war. And it is he to whom the German people seem about to .intrust the democracy which started thirteen years ago with such bright hopes under the gentle Friedrich Ebert, saddler and Social Democrat.

NINE ARE HURT IN FIRE TRUCK, BUSCOLLISION Neither Vehicle Turns Over, but Both Careen 100 Feet Out of Control. Five city firemen and four passengers are recovering today from injuries incurred Sunday morning when a speeding pumper truck collided with a Peoples Motor Coach bus at New York and La Salle streets. Captain William Pflueger, 60, Colonial hotel, in charge of the fire apparatus from engine house No. 27. which was responding to an alarm, suffered greatest injury, but his condition was reported improved at the Methodist hospital. His nose was broken and several ribs were fractured. Other injured firemen: Oliver Robbins. 37, of 1528 Nortfl Rural street, driver of the truck, hip and back injuries. Charles Boswell, 38. of 854 North Bosart avenue, neck, head and back injuries. Michael Welch, 38. of 1025 Windsor street, back, hip and arm injuries. Truman Cohen, 28. of 1014 North La Salle street, bruises on the body. Bus Passengers Hurt Bus passengers, all of whom were treated at city hospital and taken to their homes: Miss Charlotte Gault, 39, of 21 North Chester street, face and back injuries. Miss Margaret Buckley, 18. of 36 North Grant avenue, left shoulder hurt. Mrs. Mary F. Kiphart, 62, of 602 North Bradley avenue, teeth knocked out and left leg injured. Miss Catherine Harley, 21. of 35 North Colorado avenue, left hand injured. Rudolph Wilson. 30, of 2305 Guilford avenue, driver of the bus, alleged to have failed to stop at the intersection as the fire apparatus approached, was arrested on charges of reckless driving and failure to give right of way to a fire truck. Slowed for Intersection Police were told that the pumper truck, with red light burning and siren sounding, slowed as it neared the intersection, then speeded up again. The bus at the same time is said to have swung around a line of halted autos into the intersection where it struck the front end of the pumper truck. The impact swung the fire truck around, causing its rear end to strike the bus in a second impact. Neither vehicle overturned, but, both out of control, careened nearly 100 feet. Passengers in the .bus were thrown to the floor, while the firemen were hurled to the pavement. The bus was brought to a halt after crossing a sidewalk into a yard. The fire truck was brought to a stop in the center of the street. Lodge to Obesrve Guest Night Ben Hur lodge will observe guest night Wednesday at 322 East New York street.

Just before congress convenes, it was announced, a national convention of prohibition leaders will be held in Washington to plan a “detailed program on beer legislation.” Every indication is that congress at the December session will amend the Volstead law to authorize the brewing of 2.75 to 4 per cent beer as a revenue measure. “In the meanwhile,” the antisaloon league, through E.

CABINET SHIFTS : FORESEEN EVEN IF HOOVER WINS Navy and Interior Posts Expected to Change: Others Are Hinted. .

With other secretaries devoting practically all their time to campaign work in behalf of Herbert Hoover, the marked silence of Navy Secretary Charles F. Adams is caus-

Interior Secretary Ray Lyman Wilbur is expected to resign soon after the election and return to his duties as president of Stanford university. The possibility that State Secretary Henry L.
