where the plan had its strongest Support, returned a majority against Proposition No. 5, which was given national importance by President Roosevelt’s intervention in its behalf, was defeated on the basis of nearly complete returns. It was the Atkinsen Oil Control Act designed to place state regulations over the petroleum industry in California. An initiative to liberalize the state chirdpractic laws was beaten 2 to 1. Two small loan acts to limit interest charged by loan brokers were passed by more than 2 to 1 margins. The vote was exceptionally heavy, due to the long and bitter campaign and it was this which was believed to have defeated the plan. The Retirement Life Payments Association

itself represented an organized bloc|

of 600,000 voters. Officials estimated that upward of %0 per cent of the 3,606,000 qualified voters had exercised the franchise in yesterday’s elections.

Dr. Townsend Declares

Ham and Eggs Unsound

CHICAGO, Nov. 8 (U. P.).—Dr. Francis Townsend, sponsor of the Townsend Old-Age Pension Plan, said today that cefeat of the “Ham-and-Eggs’ Pension Plan in California showed that the people “are not ready for a dictatorial government.” “While it became necessary for me to oppose these state programs as unsound and unwise,” Dr. Townsend said, “I have the deepest sympathy for those citizens who had become weary of the long delays in Congress and tried to obtain justice in the wholly impractical and unsound methods of state pensions.”

Republicans Retain

‘ Philadelphia Control

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8 (U.P). —Republicans retained control of Philadelphia's municipal and county government today by electing a Mayor, seven county officials, 20 of 22 councilmen and 10 of 16 magistrates in yesterday's off-year election. They also elected a state Senator. The Democrats won only two council seats and the Congressional seat in the Fourth District. Former Judge Robert E. Lamberton defeated City Controller Robert C. White, Democratic-Fusionist candidate for the mayoralty in a contest which Republican - leaders hailed as a barometer for the 1940 Presidential election. Nearly complete returns gave Mr. Lamberton 390,448, Mr. White 359,989. Former Deputy State Attorney General’ John E. Sheridan defeated Boies Penrose, nephew of the late U. S. Senator, for the Congressional seat to fill out the unexpired term of the late J. Burrwood Daly, Democrat. Mr. Sheridan polled 51,152 votes, Mr. Penrose 47,654. In the state, the four appellate judgeships were swept into office.

Mr. Reading was elected two years ago in a victory over a strongly backed C. I. O. candidate. In the campaign for yesterday's election, Mr. Reading had charged that Mr. Jeffries likewise was backed by the C. I. O. and if elected would “turn the eity over to labor.” Mr. Jeffries had denied Reading's allegations and promised an independent administration with no alliances.

the total vote was about 800,000 and that his final majority would be at least 90,000. Mr. Johnson, a Richmond publisher, succeeded “Happy” Chandler as Governor Oct. 9 after Mr. Chandler resigned to take the U. S. Senate seat of the late M. M. Logan. Democratic nominees for eight other stafe offices also were leading * | by about 2-1 majorities. The election was one of the quietest in Kentucky history. Not a single shooting was reported.

N. Y. Backs Pari-Mutuels:

Tammany Comes to Life

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (U. P.).— New York approved overwhelmingly of pari-mutuel betting on horse races, returns from yesterday's election shewed today. At the same time, Tammany Hall, defeated by a Republican-Fusion ticket which elected F. H. La Guardia Mayor in 1933 and re-elected him in 1937, scored a comeback with virtually a clean sweep of important offices in the Manhattan judicial election. Rep. Christopher D. Sullivan ‘D. N. Y.), leader of the Hall, hailed the victory as “a return of confidence” in Tammany. Democratic organizations in New York @ity’s other boroughs, allies of Tammany, registered similar victories. County ~ Judge William O'Dwyer was elected Kings (Brooklyn) County District Attorney with a vote exceeding the total of his Republican and American Labor Party opponents. The pari-mutuel amendment, opposed by Mayer La Guardia, was the only state-wide issue. With its. adoption, New York will set up ihe same system of wagering—and taxation on hets—now in force in every other state which permits gambling on horse races. Saratoga Springs, which has the nation’s oldest race ‘track, voted nearly three to one against the amendment, perhaps in the fear that setting up of the pari-mutuel system would lead to the establishment of new tracks.

Ab Jenkins Elected Salt Lake City Mayor

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 8 (U. P.). —ADb Jenkins, internationally famous racing driver, was Salt Lake City’s new Mayor-eleet today, but only by the unofficial margin of 12 votes. Votes tabulated from the city's 149 districts were: For Jenkins, 21,121; for Herbert A. Snow, 21,109. Proposals for municipal power plants broke even in the two Utah cities. In Ogden, a proposal to issue $3,500,000 in Revenue bonds to pay for a municipal power system was defeated, 9507 to 5780. In Provo, three ballot propositions dealt with municipal power and voters, by a 2 -to-1 ratio, favored plans for Soustruction of a city electrical sysm.

TREND ISTO G. 0. P., JOHN HAMILTON SAYS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (U. P.).— Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee declared today that yesterday’s elections “from the Atlantic to the Pacific” reflect a trend “toward a Republican victory next year and an end to reckless, wasteful and crack-pot government.”

He said that Republicans maintained or increased their ‘strength compared with a year ago “with only a few exceptions” and added that it was “significant” that the failure of

to economic recovery was made the issue in a number of local contests where Republicans won.”

F. D. R. IS UMPIRE IN SHIP DISPUTE

~, (Continued from Page One)

the U. S. Lines request would be taken today. The Commission's next regular meeting will be held tomorrow and no special meeting is scheduled today. President Roosevelt is umpiring the dispute. He is leaning—if at all—toward salt and peppery Chairman Emory S. Land of the Maritime Commission, a retired rear admiral, himself, who says nothing but appears eager to have the transfer go through.

National Interest

The dispute blew up suddenly but it is a real one. The Maritime Commission apparently takes the position” that American flag ships should be kept employed by any legal means to avoid saerificing gains made by the American Merchant Marine, since the nation awakened mid-way in the World War to the fact that we were in a bad way on the high seas. Chairman Land can present that side of the controversy in sharp and emphatic language if given the opportunity. = Congressional sharpshooters and the No. 1 member of Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet watch the other ramparts: and they are determined men. If the Maritime Commission approves the transfer, eight American merchant vessels will haul down the United States flag and hoist that of Panama. Some 1000 or more American seamen and their officers will be out of jobs and a deputation of 10,000 .of them and mates from other

an election was compulsory under the law. |

17 Towns in County

Apparently there is ‘no recotirse for a citizen after the election time has passed if. no election is held. A citizen may go into court and mandate town officers to "0ld an election if he does so before the election date. In Marion County there are 17 incorporated towns. They are: Woodruff Place, Speedway. Cler‘mont, Southport, Lawrence, Ravenswood, Castleton, Shooters Hill, Warren Park, Lynhurst, Williams Creek, Rocky Ripple, Crow’s Nest. North Crow’s Nest, Woodstock, Highwoods, and Spring Hill. Thirteen of them held an election yesterday. One member of the County Board of Election Commissioners said that “although thz Constitution seems to permit officers to continue in office, legal questions undoubtedly will arise over this apparent conflict of law.” “There might even be criminal action arise out of towns not holding elections,” he said, “because the election duties set out by law were not carried out.”

Révisions Urged”

“While I don’t believe anyone could challenge the power of the town officers who continued in office without an election there are the questions of contracts with the trustees and bonds made with the clerk-treasurer. “Some persons might hesitate to enter into contracts with trustees who continued in office but were not re-elected as the law requires. “A bonding company might not bond a clerk-treasurer who handled state and town funds if they felt he was not legally elected.” Admitting that present laws created confusion, the Commissioner said “town elections should be consolidated and revised to clear up situations like this.” County officers here pointed out that towns originally were incorporated near large cities like Indianapolis to protect themselves against annexation without the citizens’ consent.

Park, where the President is visiting following yesterday’s election. The peace proposal generally: was rejected in Berlin as futile and there was some doubt whether Germany even would reply. The feeling’ was not much more hopeful in London and Paris. Britain and France stand on their insistence that the rule of Herr Hitler must go and the wrong done to Czechoslovakia and Poland must be righted. What is likely to happen is that London, after consulting Paris, will make identic replies © to King Leopold and Queen Wilhelmina, expressing appreciation of their offer and intimating that if Herr Hitler; through the two neutrals, wants to propose a settlement which will meet the Allied demands, they will consider it.

Offer Held Unlikely

- Such an offer hy Hitler is not probable. If he offers anything, it would be more likely to be vaguely

have used before. The Allies are wondering ‘what inspired Leopold and Wilhelmina to make their plea so suddenly, at this particular time. Some believe that the two neutrals fear violation of their territory in a" German attempt to march through against France, or to establish air and submarine bases in Holland against England. Two factors might inspire such fear: The concentration of German troops on the. Dutch frontier; and the ominous warnings from Berlin to the neutrals to resist the British blockade with more vigor.

Germans Explain

It is true the Germans insist the troop concentrations are due to the necessity of having them handy if it is negessary to pour them into the westwall for attack or defense. On the other hand, it is pointed out logically that the troops on ‘the Dutch frontier could as easily be reinforced from the front. An alternative reason for the Belgian-Dutch move is suggested in London. It is that the two rulers are taking a long-range view and hope desperately to pute on the brakes before, as they express it, the war breaks out “in all its terror” and they are engulfed.

Nazis Make three Raids

In the fighting on the Western Front, the Germans made three raids on French outposts. Two of the raids were supported by artillery action. The French asserted all three efforts were repulsed. Luxembourg reported great aerial and artillery operations within sight of its border. Whether that activity was a prelude to larger-scale action or was primarily for routine reconnaissance purposes, there was no telling. Authorized German sources took the attitude today that “the peace child was throttled as soon as it was born.” They based that comon on the fact that British Fopeign, Secretary Lord Halifax yesay reiterated. Allied attacks on

pair the wrongs done by Germany to her neighbors. Berlin Calls It Rejection Lord Halifax’s speech, while delivered after Dutch-Belgian peace appeal was announced, had been distributed to newspapers some hours previously. The Berlin spokes-

right rejection of the appeal. The British Cabinet considered the peace appeal and decided to consult with Paris. The French Cabinet will consider it Thursday. Italy served tiotice that any peace conference will have to consider its claims in the Mediterranean area. They all added up to the indication that there is still no basis for real peace negotiations, because neither side is yielding on its general positions. British Laborite Leader Clement R. Attlee, in a speech in London defining labor’s war aims, said however that British labor welcomed the initiative of Queen Wilhelmina and King Leopold. Chamberlain Talks Tomorrow The first official Allied reply to the proffer of good offices by the

was expected to be made tomorrow when Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain discusses the international situation at Mansion House. The Prime Minister's speech will take the place of his weekly “war bulletin” to the House of Commons. It was expected that Mr. Chamberlain, while expressing appreciation of the intentions of the monarchs, would make it clear” that Germany could have no peace on easy terms.
