which, when bundled up in a report to Congress, will not make a pretty picture. Democratic defenses will be weakened, not only by Mr. Hopkins’ activity which some Democrats privately deplore, but by the fact that Democratic Senate Leader Barkley of Kentucky will be featured in the Sheppard report because of activity for him by WPA officials in his state. A Congressional investigation of political use of relief already is being demanded by Republicans, notably by Rep. Joseph W. Martin of Massachusetts, who is expected to be chosen his party’s floor leader in the House. Attempts also will be renewed to earmark relief funds and thus restrict their allotment by President Roosevelt and Mr. Hopkins. Conservative Democrats will join, as before, in this effort. Pennsylvania Democrats counted heavily upon the votes of those on WPA and relief and beneficiaries “of other eral agencies. Reports ~ just before the election showed 219,255 families on WPA in the state, comprising 690,047 persons, and 679,677 persons on direct relief. President Roosevelt carried the state in 1936, when the relief load -was much lighter, by 663,480. The Democratic candidates for Governor and Senator ran nearly 300,000 and 400,000 respectively hehind their Republican opponents, indicating a ‘loss of about a million Democratic votes between 1936 and 1938. It is significant that Democrats Jost, or carried by margins far below expectations, industrial communities and hard and soft coal areas where the relief load is heavi"est. Senator Davis capitalized Jemocratic use of WPA and his charges were backed up by the Sheppard Committee. A similar story is found in Ohio.
La Guardia Confers With Murphy and Bulkley
NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (U. P).— Mayor F. H. La Guardia, seeking to reform progressive forces in the light of Tuesday's election, conferred at City Hall today with Governor Murphy of Michigan in the first of a series of such “informal” meetings. Senator Bulkley (D. Ohiv), who like Governor Murphy was defeated last - Tuesday, also saw the Mavor. The mayor announced.last Wednesday that he would go to washing"ton.. to consult with. liberals. of various political persuasions with an eye to 1940. so Mayor La Guardia is known to feel that more definite lines should be drawn between Liberals and Conservatives rather than between Democrats and Republicans. He is of the opinion many Democrats
were defeated because they gave]:
only lip service to the New Deal] while some successful Republicans were favorably disposed to Liberal legislation.

Absentee Ballots
To Decide Election
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (U. P). —A count of apsentee ballots Monday will determine whether three or four of California’s Congressional seats have changed from Democratic to Republican. Only 106 votes separated Mayor T. M. Eaton of Long Beach (R) and Rep. Byron Scott (D), running for re-election in the 18th District. Mayor Eaton had 51,732 and Rep. Scott 51,626. Outstanding were 1164 absentee ballots. If Mayor Eaton wins, the Republicans will have eight members and the Democrats 12. The former ratio was 4 to 16.

NEW CONGRESS HAS ITS COLOR
Hillbilly Singer, Former Sea Captain and ‘Ignorant Man’ Are Added.
By LEE G. MILLER ~ Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—When the House meets Jan. 3 the survivors of last Tuesday's voting will miss many a colorful colleague, but there will be some interesting newcomers. "The incoming crop includes: Prof. T. V. Smith (D. Ill.) of the University of Chicago, a homespun academician who calls himself “an ignorant man and a philosopher.”
Miss Jessie Sumner (R. Ill), a downstate. county judge, a Smith College graduate and the first American woman to study law at Oxford. Forest A. Harness (R. Ind), 43 who was the Justice Department's agent in running down Samuel Insull in Greece. Dr. J. Thorkelson (R. Mont), Norway-born captain of ocean-going vessels who quit the sea to study medicine. Carl Stuart Hamblen (D. Cal), a radio hillbilly singer. James E. Van Zandt (R. Va), former national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Back to Congress
Returning to the House after interludes of two years or more will be these, among others:
John C. Shafer (R. Wis.), a former railroad engineer with a megaphone voice. Vito Marcantonio (R. N. Y.), a little left-winger who was as busy as a birddog in his 1935-36 tenure. Clarence J. McLeod (R. Mich), who wanted the Government to pay off closed- bank depositors.
Gone, Not Forgotten
A number of the best-known figures 1n the House were eliminated before election day. Bertrand H. Snell (R. N. Y.), the paunchy minority leader, wearied of leading his corporal’s guard and chose not to run again. Fred Vinson (D. Ky.), No. 1 tax authority in the House, and Frank L. Kloeb (D. O.) were made Federal judges. John Steven McGroarty (D. Cal), Pennsylvanian who became California’s poet laureate and original House sponsor of the Townsend plan, decided at 76 that he preferred California’s sun to Washington’s limelight. Maury Maverick (D. Tex.), impetuous and ubiquitous leader of the House “liberal bloc” lost out in the primary. So did another outspoken Texan, W. D. McFarlane, foe of the radio chains.
“Caesar Was Ambitious”
David J. Lewis (D. Md.) and Otha Wearin (D. Iowa) ran in the primaries against Senators Tydings and Gillette, and the New Deal purge backfired. Other House members who aspired to the Senate and lost were Gomer Smith (D. Okla.', eloquent pensionite and pleader for a Constitutional amendment against drunkenness; J. Ridley Mitchell (D. Tenn.), perennial denouncer of his colleagues’ pet perquisites—jobs for kinfolk, and 20-cents-a-mile avel allowance to and from sessions, and big Tom Amlie (Prog. Wis.). Worth Clark (D. Idaho) and Scott Lucas (D. Ill.) were more s'iccessful. They will be Senators, come Jan. 3. ‘Two women Democrats were defeated Tuesday—Mrs. Nan Wood Honeyman (Ore.), old friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, and Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes (Ind.), who wanted to uproot Washington’s famous cherry trees as a gesture against Japan's aggressions.
Peace for Hague
Out also went the ‘wo left-wing freshmen who toured Loyalist Spain together and made a business of denouncing Mayor Hague—bald and zealous Jerry O'Connell (D. Mont.), who is only 29, and swarthy John Toussaint Bernard (F.-L. Minn) who was born in Corsica and used to be a fire-fighter. Raymond J. Cannon (D, Wis.), who was reared in an orphanage, financed a law education by playing pro baseball, ‘and became attorney for Jack Dempsey and for Joe JackJon of Chicago's “Black Sox,” also ost. Finly H. Gray (D. Ind.), the 74-year-old wraith whose long hair, gray frock coat and radio disquisitions were hous: fixtures, was defeated. So was Alfred F. Beiter (D. N. Y.), tall leader’ of the “PWA bloc.”

"ROOSEVELT INJURED BY 3D-TERM TALK, CLAPPER SAYS-
By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—A quick look into the crystal ball seems to say that it isn’t going to help President Roosevelt for New Dealers to build up third-term talk, which they already have begun to do. First, such agitation only fans up resistance to Roosevelt in Congress, not to mention the alarm it stirs in the country. Third-term talk is a challenge to conservative Democrats and Republicans to combine and break Mr. Roosevelt in the next session of Congress, on the cry that he wants to be a dictator. It may, if persisted in, provoke attempts early in the coming session to adopt a resolution in the Senate cong demning a third term as “unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institutions.” Exactly that resolution was proposed during the Coolidge Administration by the elder Senator La Follette. Furthermore, it was adopted by a vote of 56 to 26. It had the support of 37 Democratic Senators. That is what New Dealers are “exposing Mr. Roosevelt to by their third-term drive. Such a battle again a stream of high-powered demagogery on both sides. It would sharply divide the country and distract attention from the important business of facilitating recovery and of getting the bugs out of the New Deal agencies that public opinion wants retained. Second, the election resuits give
would unloose
» [little hope that a fight for a third-
term could succeed. Mr. Roosevelt would be subjected to a monumental humiliation from which his record up to now entitles him to be spared. Consider the states in which the Republicans have just elected Governors or Senators or both—that is, where Republicans carried at least one state-wide vote. Add up the electoral votes of those states. You get a total of 210 electoral votes. That is just 56 votes short of a majority in the electoral college. You need 266 votes to elect a President.
Missed by a Hair
Furthermore, consider that the Republicans almost carried New York. Mr. Dewey lost by 68,000 votes out of a total of 4,700,000. In Indiana, Republicans came within 6000 votes of beating Senator VanNuys in a total vote of 1,561,000, and Republicans may demand a 1ecount, to see if he really had even that edge. New York's electoral vote is 47 and Indiana's is 14. Together they mean 61 electoral votes. Add those votes, which Repubilcans missed by less than one-half of one per cent, to the 210 of the states actually carried and you have more than enough to elect a Republican President. Now I would be the last person to say that these figures can be translated automatically into Presidential votes. Personalities and local conditions played a part. Presidential
Lvotes would depend upon the candi-
cates, the records which the two parties make during the next two years, and many intangibles. Nevertheless you have the picture of Republicans winning now in a total number of states which come close to controlling the electoral college. Inject the third-term issue and the whole election will revolve around it. And you have to be an incurable optimist to figure that Repubiicans would do any worse, with the third term to shoot at than they did without it. The more the country swings toward normal, the more popular opposition there will be to a third term.
No More Fog to Dispel
And if you don’t think the country is swinging back to normal, ponder these evidences? Charley Michelson, the Administration’s master propagandist, is suspending his weekly partisan newspaper column called “Dispelling the Fog.” No more fog dispelling until further notice. More significant still, good old Mark Sullivan, who in recent years has put away his high Hoover collar and sought protective coloration in the informal soft collar shirts like Mr. Roosevelt always wears, appeared at the first White House press conference after election boldly wearing his beloved oldfashioned high stiff collar. Symbolic as sure as the first robin, that after a long winter of discontent, spring-time has returned to Mark's dear old soul.
1300 PUPILS STRIKE TO INSURE HOLIDAY
RACINE, Wis., Nov. 12 (U. P.).— Armistice Day raised a conflict between school authorities and 1300 high school pupils who struck demanding a holiday yesterday. Dissatisfied because the employees of City and County and many other offices were given the day off while the schools continued operating, the pupils at William Horlick High School refused to attend afternoon classes. Improvising placards and slcgans, they marched about the school.

POLICE THWART THEFT SUSPECT
Nab Escaping Man After He Drops Iron Bar; Purses Taken.
Police early today thwarted what they believe was an attempted grocery burglary in the 900 block on E. 30th St. Two officers, cruising in the neighborhood about 1:30 a. m., said they saw a man standing at the rear door of the grocery, holding an] iron bar. He dropped the bar and ran, and they caught him at 32d St. and Winthrop Ave. He is held on vagrancy charges.
Purses ‘Fished Out’
Chester Camp, of 238 W. 44th St. told police that three women’s purses, containing = $5.30, were stolen from a bed in her house last night by a thief who “fished them out” through an open windcw.
Mrs. Arthur Anthony, 52, of 1521 College Ave. Apt. 2, reported that vandals thrust a garden hose through an open window at her home and turned. the water on, damaging rugs, furniture and wails. A Kroger grocery store was entered overnight and about $84 worth of cigarets were stolen, according to Roberts Clarke, manager.
These Thugs Seem to Be Rather Safe
Police were ready to throw up their hands today in an “after-all, what's-the-use” attitude. Somewhere in the city there is a 1600-pound safe, toted away from the Kroger Grocery Co. store at 2214 Shelby St. last night. Kroger officials can't under/stand it. It takes a crew of two men, equipped with a truck, winch, rollers, punchbars and skid boards to move this type of safe, they said. The thieves got in through a transom in the rear, police said. Between $200 and $300 was in the safe, officials said.
NAZI SHIP BOMBING SUSPECT RE RELEASED
OAKLAND, ), Cal, Nov Nov. 12. J. P.). —A longshoreman ‘who spoke openly of his dislike of Nazis was released today from the City Jail where he had been questioned as the first suspect in the bombing of the German steamer Vancouver last week. The longshoreman, Herbert Huntsman, 58, was arrested on a charge of intoxication after a complaint by Albert von Stritsky, ship's fourth officer. Herr von Stritsky said Huntsman told him: “Nazi, eh?

Only three minutes remained of the “Little Army-Navy” football game between LaSalle Military Academy and Admiral Farragut Academy when the loudspeaker announced: Here's a LaSalle substitution. It’s Jack Brahney going in at right guard in place of Geiger.” As the crowd gave Geiger a hand, a little, gray-haired man whose face was tear-stained, rose from his seat and walked toward an exit Thence he found his way to the LaSalle dressing room beneath the stadium, where he waited to give his two sons news of their mother’s death. .

Brandeis, 82, Plans Quiet Observance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (U. P.) —Louis Dembitz Brandeis, oldest associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, will celebrate his 82d birthday tomorrow. He was expected to spend a quiet day with Mrs. Brandeis in their comfortable apartment, possibly taking a short walk in Rock Creek Park in the afternoon if weather permits. Although speculation that Justice Brandeis would retire has been heard again this year, there was no indication that he would give up the position which he has held since 1916. He has attended all of the Court’s sessions this year. Justice Brandeis still remains the idol of judicial liberals. By almost universal acclamation he was accepted as the leader of jurists advocating liberal interpretations of the Constitution after the retirement of the late Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. It was with Justice Holmes that his name was linked in many famous opinions: “Holmes and Brandeis dissenting.”
PERUVIAN FLYING TO U.S. FOR OPERATION
Rich Mine Owner Expected At Rochester Monday.
LIMA, Peru, Nov. 12 (U.P).— Manuel Miguel Carassa, millionaire Peruvian mine owner, took off by chartered plane today with his family and American physician for Rochester, Minn., to undergo an operation for gallstones. En route, he was attended by Dr. Eugene McCornack of Lynchburg, Va. former head of the British|S American Hospital at Callao. It was the first time a commercial plane had been hired for such an urgent purpose in Peru. The plane cost $200 an hour. The first goal was Cristobal, Canal Zone. There they will leave the
{chartered plane and board a clipper
for Miami, arriving there Sunday. From Miami, they will fly to Chicago arriving early Monday morning, and immediately board a Northwestern Airlines plane arriving in Rochester at 9:30 a. m, The elapsed time of the trip will be 52 hours.

WEALTHY BRITISHER «2
LONDON, Nov. 12 (U. P).— James A. Mollison, trans-Atlantic flier, was married today to the wealthy Mrs. Lydia Phyllis Hussey. They plan to spend their honeymoon in Paris and Jamaica. Mr. Mollison was divorced last February by Amy Johnson Mollison, an equally famous flier who accompanied him on one of his’ transAtlantic crossings and made many spectacular flights of her own. They were married in July, 1932.

Unaware Mother Is Dead
His wife, Mrs. Sylvia Geiger, 53, had a heart attack Thursday night and died. A family conference was held, and it was decided that the news should be withheld from her sons until after Friday's football game. Charles, first one of the brothers to come into the dressing room, was stunned when his father told him but quickly recovered his composure, and sent a messenger to the bench to get Frank. The younger lad wept. Both hurried into their street clothes while their father waited. Mr. Geiger explained, “I couldn't tell you boys before because I knew
how hard you had practiced and
what this game meant to you.”

OPPORTUNITIES CITED BY WELLS
Chances for Young Men to Get Wealthy in South America, He Says.
Linton Wells, journalist and specialist on Latin American affairs,
today told the Town Hall in Eng- ‘ llish’s Theater that a young man|
with special training would wind up as a millionaire if he went to South America and tended to business. Two weeks ago he made the same statement at the University of Iowa and 300 students stormed the Spanish courses, practically wrecking the curriculum. Even so, Mr, Wells said, there is a chance ' that totalitarian governments of Europe may move into South America and take over. - They are trying to; he said. Ger-
imany is bombarding South America
with radio programs that play music 90 per cent of the time and dwell
features of Nazi government, described by them as ‘no unemployment, cost-free movies, state-sup-ported recreation facilities, and no worries at all.”
Pride May Prevent It
of such an eventuality, but said he personally believes that the LatinAmerican pride will prevent it. One ‘item of the pride is, he said, that Latin Americans will’ not surrer.der the privilege of kicking out a dictator when he displeases them. In Europe that is not done, he said. Mr. Wells said that President Roosevelt's good neighbor policy is not producing the trade benefits for the United States that it was hoped, but it had practically destroyed the Latin-American suspicion of the United States. Italy also : is flooding South America with radio propaganda and Japan has started a program, but a Japanese trying to talk Spanish makes their programs too ridiculous to be taken seriously, the speaker said.
EXPECTS VERDICT ON TRACKS NEXT WEEK
Boetcher Says Railway May Decide by Monday.
Mayor Boetcher announced today that he expected a decision from the Indianapolis Union Railway on the South Side track elevation project early next week, possibly Mon-
y. He thought that Henry B. Steeg, City Engineer, who conferred Thursday with railroad engineers in Chicago on construction plans, had not yet reported on the outcome of the meeting. Mr. Steeg could not be reached today for a statement. Before Tuesday's election, the Works Board indicated that the City was prepared to proceed with elevation, regardless of the railroad's decision. Mayor Boetcher said today that he did not know if the City would proceed along these lines. An ordinance providing for a bond issue of $318,500 for the City’s share of the total cost will be voted on at the next meeting of City Council.
SALESMAN REPORTS ABDUCTION BY PAIR

Shortly after they drove out of Omaha, he said, another man and two women joined the party. He could not explain the abduction.

The
Now Scoot, But Never Do It Again
A charge of riding a scooter without a driving license and without licensep lates plates was preferred today by State Police against Allen W. Brunson, 20, of 4226 Sunset, Ave. State Policeman Fred J. Cogshall, who arrested Mr. Brunson, .testified in Municipal Court 4 that the scooter: was propelled by a gasoline motor, and therefore came under provisions of the State auto license laws. Mr. Brunson, who was riding the vehicle near his: home, said he had a driver's license at home. He said the scooter belonged to a friend. . Judge Pro Tem. I. Sidney Stein withheld judgment, but told Mr. Brunson: “Don’t let this happen again.” to
R. C. Quigle, 3734 N. Keystone Ave., signed his own affidavit which charged him with running through a red light. Mr. Quigle said he filed his own affidavit and pleaded guilty in order to have an immediate trial. The arresting officer, who ordinarily would have signed the affidavit, was unable to be in court until next Wednesday, when Mr, Quigle plans to leave the city. Judge Stein gave him a suspended fine of $1 and costs.
AMERICAN CITIZEN WILL BE BEATIFIED
Mother Cabrini to Be Blessed In Services Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (U.P.).— For the first time in history the Roman Catholic Church will beatify an American citizen tomorrow at special services in Rome. The Venerable Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini, who died in Chicago in 1917, will be declared blessed by Pope Pius Xi tomorrow morning at beatification ceremonies at St. Peter's basilica.
