ADJOURNMENT IS PREDICTED|

Martin Will Appeal to House To Stay on Job; Many Want to Quit.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.—The Republican leadership of the House split with the party's Senate leaders on the issue of adjournment, is preparing for a fight to keep Congress ~ here during the period of “national emergency.” :

- Rep. Joseph®W., Martin (Mass), |

House minority leader, plans a formal appeal to House members of all parties, probably tomorrow, citing reasons he thinks the legislators should stay on the job. ~ Republican leaders believe they . can count; most of their own House strength, or more than 150 votes, against the adjournment motion - which the Administration is expected to offer when neutrality is out of the way.

3 Congressmen Switch Votes.

They. concede that the odds prob-F, ably “are:with the: other side now; but numerous Democrats have indicated support and G. O. P. leaders hope others will be converted.

~ President, by- promising an alloca- . tion of funds-for-drought and flood j- relief from reserves now held by various agencies, swent away votes ~~ of various Congressmen who had _ « been urging that Congress stay here and legislate for such relief. Rep. Martin's contention is that - the President has proclaimed ‘a ~ state of national emergency, that \ this condition dog$ not automat- \_ ically cease to e following action "en the neutral legisiatiun, and that therefore Congress should be _ on the job ready tomeet whatever the emergency may bring.

McNary Favors Adjournment

: Mr. Martin's statement also is expected to cite numerous matters of domestic legislation which could be acted upon between now and Jan. 1. It may point out that with the na‘tional conventions and election due! - next year, the regular session probably will adjourn earlier than usual, . and that this is another reason why the wheels should be kept turning now. On the other side of the Capitol, a few like Senator Wheeler : (D. Mont.) hava urged that Congress remain here to act on legislation affecting relief, the railroads and other matters, but Senator McNary (Ore.), the Republican leader; said today he still feels Congress should adjourn after action on the neu- ~ trality bill. . It is accepted as fairly certain that the Senate will vote to adjourn whenever Administration leaders put the motion.

* FORCED TO DO MAN'S WORK, WIFE SAYS

3 A 32-year-old former Indianap- ~ olis telephone operator sought a di- ~ vorce in Superior Court today because, she testified, she was forced to do the work of a farmhand. Claiming she was disillusioned because during her seven years of married life her husband had “failed to live up to his marriage] - vows,” the blond wife claimed she | © drove a tractor, hauled feed for hogs, milked cows and shucked corn on her husband's farm in Montgomery County. Her 35-year-old husband, who is contesting the suit, just “sat around, read and smoked” while she was working, she testified. The husband corftended he was ill during these years and unable to work. His wife answered “he was supposed to be ill.” Superior Court Judge Herbert M. Spencer today was to decide the case, which Involves a request for

RENT ROOM FOR

FATAL PLUNGE

Man, Wife Leap to Death From Window in New York Hotel.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 (U. P)—Foy

Samuel Walker and his wife talked about death. They were standing before the opened windows of the fine room they had taken on the 27th floor of the Hotel New Yorker, a, room for which they had spent the last few dollars they had. Then they stepped from the cigaret-littered floor to the window sills and leaped at the same time to .their.deaths on an extension roof 22 stories below. . That. was . the way detectives nstructed the tragedy. couple had registered as Mr. and Mrs. Sam Wilson of Detroit. They left: no notes but Detective James Sullivan traced a call they had made from their room to Mrs. Helen Yeakle of West New York, N. J —a sister of Mrs. Walker—and soon learned the pathetic story. Mr. Walker, 40, was an impoverished salesman. ‘His wife suffered from bronchial trouble. They were $91 in arrears on the rent of their furnished room. Their clothes were shabby. Last week-end they talked things over, drew the few dollars they had in cash and went to the hotel. Sunday and Monday and Tuesday they went out and enjoyed themselves. By today the money was gone. Mrs. Yeakle said they had talked to her of suicide but she had believed she had persuaded them to give up the idea. She said they had been married 15 years and were very much in love.

REVOLVING DOORS AT CITY "HALL UNLIKELY

A suggestion that revolving doors be installed at the east entrance of the City Hall to keep the wintry drafts out, received a chilly recep{ion from the Works Board today. The suggestion came from Russell E. Campbell, secretary to Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Mr. Campbell’s contention, according to Martin H. Walpole, Board secretary, was that the City would save time and money by safeguarding the health of employees. Board members pointed out that the City Hall was built before the era of revolving doors, that the

large portion of the cold. air and that to replace them would be too expensive.

ARMY SEEKS 1735 MORE IN THIS AREA

Urrutia announced that the last quota for the area, 950, was filled yesterday, 12 days ahead of the deadline. The Preceding quota

last night. # . Children took control of several neighborhoods and damaged some property, police reported. But the damage, they said, wasn't as great as in previous years. Ap tely, 15,000 persons, most of them in costumes, jammed Monument Circle in the biggest single celebration of Halloween. Police were on hand and no injuries were reported. Circle traffic was stopped. Fifteen compldints were made to police by persons whose windows had been broken by boys who threw bricks, stones, garbage cans, botiles and tin cans.
