The War Department today advised the President’s Emergency Committee for Employment that it would expedite construction at Army posts calling for an outlay of $3,074,721 as a move toward relieving unemployment. Some of the work already has been started, and F. H. Payne, Assistant Sec- retary of War, told Col. Arthur Woods, chairman of the committee, the depart- ment was removing every obstacle to permit the work to go forward. “Every effort is being made to facili- tate action and to stimulate employ- ment by advancing the starting dates of jobs which have already been author- ized,” Payne said. Projects Are Outlined. Among the most important of the | projects authorized for immediate con- struction are: Fort Monmouth, N.

SEATTLE, Wash., November 1.—With six men in two planes still missing in Northern British Columbia, rescue ef- forts were being planned today at widely separated points. Frank Dorbandt, Alaska pilot, was at Atlin, British Columbia, after ending his second search for Capt. E. J. A. Burke, Vancouver aviator, and two com- panions in the Liard River district. Burke was lost October 11 when last seen flying toward Atlin after a pros- pecting flight to Liard Post. Dorbandt expected to take off at the first oppor- tunity in a third attempt. Favorable weather was awaited by a Treadwell Yukon Consolidated Co. plane at Mayo, Yukon territory, to take up the search for Burke. Mayo is about 100 miles southeast of Dawson. Robin Renahan of Vancouver, Brit- ish Columbia, an Alaska-Washington Airways pilot, who left Vancouver last Sunday with two companions to join the Burke search, last was seen Wednesday over Albert Bay, Northern Vancouver Island. It was hoped he might be at Swanson Bay, up the coast, awaiting favorable weather. Thinking Renahan possibly had met with an accident, Ancel Eckmann, Seattle, chief pilot of the Alaska-Wash- ington Airways, planned to take off to- day in a special effort to find the trio.

The engineer, Stanley Pickett, of Bal- timore, Md., died when his entire train, consisting of the locomotive and nine cars, left the rails and piled up along the tracks. Charles Pumphrey, also of Baltimore, the fireman, was scalded so severely he died several hours later in a Martinsburg hospital. Others of the train crew were uninjured. Railroad officials said that at the point where the wreck occurred the train should not have been traveling at a speed of more than 15 miles an hour, as warnings were posted. Th~ temporary tracks were laid while a subway was being constructed along the regular route. ‘The train was the second section of the No. 17 westbound express from Wuthmgton to Pittsburgh and points west.

WASHINGTON END OF CANPAGY FINDS LEADERS OF PARTES HOPEFUL Democrats Expect Majority in Next House—G. 0. P. Sees Anti-Climax. FINAL DRIVE FOR VOTES DEVELOPS BITTERNESS |New Congress and 30 Governors to Be Chosen by Voters Next Tuesday. BY BYRON PRICE, Associated Press Staff Writer. Across the breadth of a Nation racked by political dissension the party cap- tains sounded today a final rallying call to the millions who will choose a new Congress and the Governors of 30 States at Tuesday's general election. Except for the few valedictory cere- monials reserved for election eve, the campaign is ending with the week, Pbringing {o its big moment in carnival profusion thz customary noise and color of climatic political emotion. Today and tonight many thousands of Amer- icans exercise the constitutional right of tumultuous free assemblage, as hun- dreds of travel-weary candidates peti- tlon for victory with their last hoarse whisper. Contemplating this picture, on pre- election Saturday, the leaders of both of the great parties turned hopeful Lut anxlous faces toward the fast-approach- ing day of decision. Democrats Optimistic. Heartened by what they conceive to be a widespread dissatisfaction with the Hoover administration, on the score of the business depression, prohibition, the tariff, farm relief and other issues, the Democrats stood by their predic- tions that their unrelenting campaign of attack would mean a Democratic House of Representatives and a material reduction, at least, in the Republican majority in the Senate. The Republicans, acknowledging that some losses are likely, took new hope from reports—denied by the Democrats —that the last week or two had seen a turn downward in Democratic fortunes —one of those anti-climaxes which sometimes mark the last days of a party effort brought to its peak toc long before election day. It be for the count of the bal- fots, of course, to decide what substance there may be in these premises, on either side. But the hope engendered by them, on both sides, was substanial enough today to throw both party head- quarters in Washington, and the many lesser outposts lhmughout the country. into a last convulsion of supreme activity. Campaign of Strong Words. some days past, in the mounting bit- terness of the play and counterplay of | political debate. It had become a | campaign of strong words. | Speaking last night to a national radio audience, Senator James E. Wat- son of Indiana, the Republican lcader of the Senate, forecast & time of “utter | chaos” should a Democratic Congress | be chosen, declaring, “No man could leven begin to describe the appalling | conditions that inevitably would come.” Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, assailing the Republican iarm | policies, spoke thus of his old-time | antagonist in Missouri politics, Secre- | tary of Agriculture Hyde: “One gains n?thlng by a debate with an intellectual ulcer.” | Thus goes the argument in these last days, and by no means does the na- tional forum have a monopoly either of direct speaking or emotional enthu- siasm. In an unusual number of States local ccntests on local issues are stir- ring the spellbinders to fury. In Illinois, where national issues have become intricately intertwined with the senatorial contest between Ruth Hanna | McCormick and James Hamilton Lewis, | the senatorial contest itself has in turn | tangled itself with Chicago City poli- tics, including a bitter dispute over the regime of Mayor Willlam Hale ‘Thompson. Tammany Hall Issue. In New York pre-election Saturday finds a pugnacious Republican organi- zation peppering Gov. Roosevelt with final barrage of charges in which there is much mention of Tammany Hall. | Pennsylvania voters are listening to | fervent appeals for and against Gifford Pinchot as he battles for the governor- ship minus the support of a consid- erable bloc of bolting Republican State leaders; Massachusetts winds up in a campaign comparable in intensity to | the Hoover-Smith dispute there in 1928; | Alabama is swept with the withering | cross-fire of those Democrats who do not want to see Senator Heflin return to the Senate and those “Jeffersonian | Democrats” who do. | Which are only a few of the disagree- | ments and unpleasantnesses to be | handed over to the voters next Tuesday | for decision as by law provided. | HALLOWEEN FATAL TO 2 | BOSTON, November 1 (#).—Two fatal- itles were on record today—the toll of Halloween night in New England.

By the Associated Press. RIO DE JANEIRO, November 1.— This capital today shed the carnival attire it donned yesterday to receive Dr. Getuilo Vargas, new Brazilian Chief of State, and turned to the serious busi- ness of cementing revolutionary gains | and constructing a new government. Dr. Vargas, who came from Sao Paulo and the Parana-Sao Paulo border fighting front, still lacked official title, but his authority was recognized, and it was felt that some legal means would be found to place him in the office vacated by deposition of Dr. Washing- ton Luis, ‘The problem was complicated by the former President’s refusal to resign.

At that time Dr. | Julio Prestes was scheduled to succeed | him, but Dr. Prestes now is a refugee |in the British consulate residence in | Sao Paulo. Dr. Vargas was Prestes’ opponent in the national elections. The train, guarded by cowboy troops from Rio Grande do Sul, arrived sev- eral hours late. An enormous crowd met Dr. Vargas and escorted him to Cattete Palace, which the military junta had invited him to occupy. ‘There were 33 automobiles in the offi- cial procession. The first was occupied by Vargas and Gen. Tasso Fragoso, head | of the military junta which deposed Dr. | Washington Luis. second was oc- | cupled by two other members of the | junta, Gen.
