PRESIDENT PLANS W. P. A. ACTION Personal Attention to Be Given Program Setback During Absence. BY NELSON M. SHEPARD. President Roosevelt will return to the Capital this week and take per- sonal stock of an harassed works re- lief program that has made only slight progress during the three weeks of his absence in struggling to reach an employment goal of 3,150,000 jobs by November 1. With only 12 days of grace left, the impression prevailed yesterday in official circles that the President would begin immediately after his re- turn to slash red tape in a final ef- fort to redeem the administration’s cft-repeated promise. To do this he must first take measures to expedite the clearance of $332,374,350 remain- ing in W. P. A. funds, which are clogged in the channels of Controller General McCarl's office. Officials said the release of this tum—all that remains from the $1.- 157,188,480 that was allotted to P. W. A. by the President—would go a long way in meeting the present shortage of some 2,000,000 jobs. The only rosy touch given to the dreary works-relief program last week was announcement of the Public Works Administration that it had| succeeded in launching its own $133,- 096,000 slum-clearance and low-rent housing program within the required | time. Bids 55 # Foundations. By calling for foundation bids on 21 | projects totaling $70,000,000, includ- ing the proposed Langdon Terrage in Washington, the Housing Division | brought to 46 the total number of projects in beating the deadline for contract awards by four days. *With renewed confidence the division was preparing to hurdle its final dead- line on or before December 15, the date set for starting construction work on the entire slum-clearance program. Crowded out of the main works- Senate Complex THE SUNDAY STAR, ion Is Certain To Remain Democraticin 1936 Galaxy of Stars in Up for Re-election—House Lone Hope for G. O. P. Majority. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. With the presidential campaign next year shaping up for a real con- test, political Washington is casting an eye on the congressional cam- paign. While it is conceivable, and probable, that in the event of a Re- publican presidential victory, the House might have a Republican ma- jority, there is not the slightest chance that the G. O. P. could con- trol the Senate in the next Congress. Mathematically, the Democrats could in no way become a minority party in the Senate as a result of the 1936 ‘elections. They now have 70 seats, including the Louisiana vacancy caused by the assassination of Huey P. Long. In next years elections 19 Democrats are up for re-election and 13 Republicans, one-third of the total Senate membership. Ten of the Dem- ocrats are from States of the “solid South.” Only a political revolution of un- expected proportions could prevent the re-election of Democratic Sena- tors, or of Democratic nominees, in those States. Even should all these Southern Democrats be defeated, and the nine other Democratic Senators also fall, the Democrats would still have 51 Senate seats. A majority of the Senate is 49. With every possible “break” going their way, the Repub- licans could gain not more than nine seats. They now have only 24. So if only the 10 Southern Democrats were re-elected the party would have a total of 61 Senators, to 33 for the Republicans, 1 for the Farmer-Labor party and 1 for the Progressive party. 1938 Outlook About Same. In 1938, however, 27 Democratic Senators are up for re-election and only five Republicans. Of these 21 Democrats, nine come from States that are traditionally Democratic. Here again if the Republicans won every seat that might be expected of | them they would make a gain of n! fore, | Both Parties Come have been badly split up in recent years. The old, strong leaders have passed on. Lodge is a new figure. Whether he could swing the State behind him is & question. Bulow in South Dakota, Costigan in Colorado, Lewis in Illinois, Murray in Montana, Neely in West Virginia, Hatch in New Mexico, Logan in Ken- tucky and Bachman in Tennessee are the other Democratic Senators who are up for re-election in the States outside of the solid South. Some of them seem in unbeatable positions- It would take a great swing against the New Deal to bring about Republican victories in Tennessee and Kentucky, “border States,” and in New Mexico. On the other hand, it is said that the tide has begun to run strongly against the New Deal in Ilinois, West Vir- ginia and one or two of the other States represented. The Senators who hail from the Southern States whose re-election or that of the party nominees is con- sidered certain are Bankhead of Ala- bama, author of the compulsory cotton control act; Byrnes of South Carolina, one of the President’s chief spokes- men in the Upper House; Bailey of North Carolina, Glass of Virginia, Thomas of Oklahoma, Harrison of Mississippi, who is chairman of the important Senate Finance Commit- tee; Robinson of Arkansas, Russell of Georgia and Sheppard of Texas. There is, too, the successor of the late Sen- ator Long, undoubtedly a Democrat. There has been a suggestion that Mrs. Long, his widow, might have this seat. If she does, she will be one of two woman Senators. Mrs, Caraway of Arkansas is the other. 13 G. O. P. Senators to Run. ‘Thirteen Republican Senators must stand for re-election.

Aliens Lose Million Yearly. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 19.—Driving at top speed in a campaign to smash the fraudulent naturalization racket which has cost gullible aliens more than $1,000,000 annually, special Gov- ernment investigators tonight had achieved the following score: Convicted, six. Pleaded guilty, 18. Indicted and awaiting trial, 20. Acquitted, none. Prison and jail sentences ranging from five years to 60 days have been imposed on those found guilty, several of whom were former Ellis Island em- ployes. Former Representative Convicted. Aiming steadily toward the “higher« ups” in the Nation-wide racket, Spe- cial Prosecutor Samuel H. Kaufman, working with Department of Labor investigators, this week obtained the conviction of a former Representative and the indictment of an influential Brooklyn lawyer. The former Representative, Michael J. Hogan of Brooklyn, was sentenced to one year and a day on a charge of accepting bribes from aliens who sought to be naturalized illegally. An appeal has been indicated. The lawyer, Louis Fried, a former naturalization examiner for the Labor Department, was indicted on a charge | of aiding aliens to obtain citizenship papers through forged Government I records, and bribery. He is scheduled to be tried on Oc- tober 28. Conviction on all six counts would entail a maximum 30-year sen- tence. Ex-Commissioner Held.

By the Associated Press. ALBANY, N, Y., October 19.—Dele- gates of 13 States represented in the Interstate Conference on Industrial Compacts adopted today a report fa- voring an interstate agreement for a 40-hour week in labor. The report contains a provision which says that the proposed pact will not be binding on the States par- ticipating until it has been ratified by the Legislatures of 14 States. The delegates were split on the proposal, 22 voting to accept and 10 casting a negative ballot. Representative Thomas Dorgan of Massachusetts said that the 40-hour week is necessary “so that the men and women of America will be able to get back to work.” “The only way we can have pros- perity in America is by going back to Here’s what the giant Imperial Airways liner Syrinx looked like after it had been blown over by a strong gust of wind while landing at Evert Airdrome near Brussels, Belgium.

Paul of South Orange, N. J., speaking for the opposition, contended the Nation is not yet ready for a 40- hour week and warned “the peak de- mands now made upon industry are about all they can bear.” “I feel that the Interstate Compact Commission had other fields of en- deavor beyond this particular one,” he said, “and it has jeopardized our position with our various States and in the eyes of the public by bringing | forth such a controversial issue as this.” The 13 States whose representatives participated in the conference are Colorado, Connecticut, Kentucky, In- diana, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, | Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont Minimum Wage Pact Backed. ‘The conference also adopted unan- imously a report recommending an relief picture, Secretary Ickes is ex-|seats.

Harry L. Hopkins, works progress ad- ministrator, on whose shoulders the burden of the employment drive has fallen, also will be on deck during the middle of the week to join with Mr. Roosevelt in efforts to pull the works employment program out of the hole. The only remaining project not in- cluded in yesterday's call for founda- tion bids for housing was one at Schenectady, N. Y., which was ap- proved only a few days ago. Ickes' housing development, when completed, will provide accommoda- tions for 25,000 families and is the largest of its kind ever undertaken. Included in the foundation bids called for are the $12,783,000 Williamsburg project for New York City. Work was expected to start within a month, at least, on the $1,600,000 development for colored families on the Benning r0ad site in Washington. Extensive Construction. Once the housing program is actu- ally in the construction phase its ef- fects on employment and the fabrica- tion of building materials will be far- spread. Director A. B, Clas estimated a pay roll of over $38,000,000 for 50, 000 men to be employed directly dur- ing construction. Another pay roll of $30.000,000 will be distributed “be- hind the lines” through factory em- ployment necessitated. Finances, more than anything else, seem to be the main trouble with the lagging W. P, A, drive. Ways will have to be worked out, officials said, to speed spending. The total amount of work funds available for immediate expenditure by Hopkins' State directors, many of whom have allowed their programs to slacken, was boosted to $824,814,140 yesterday by Controller General Mc- Carl's release of an additional $77,~ 186,000 for distribution in 28 States. He still has $332,372,350 to counter- sign. This means the study of hun- dreds of projects of every description designed to produce quick work. When the money is turned over to the State directors, work of this sort can be started in a matter of a few days. With twice as many projects approved by the President as there is money to carry them out, the discretion in choosing those that will put the great- est number of persons at work in the shortest time is left to the State di- rectors. Vast Projects Approved. Preg\ient Roosevelt already has ap- prove® $2,529,672,600 worth of W. P. A. projects from the lists submitted to him. The fact the programs have to go through his hands to the con- troller general and be re-examined, no doubt, has been one of the prime fac- tors in the delay in putting men to work. While Aubrey Williams, acting W. P. A. administrator, predicted last week that the employment goal will be reached in time, little chance was seen, however, in other circles that the program will be stepped up 2,000,000 Jjobs in 12 days. Virtually all W. P. A. projects will be carried out by contract and the presidential deadline for awarding them is only three days away. Williams, who acquired a record- breaking spending reputation under the old civil works program of a year ago, said this week would witness a remarkable pick-up in the employment drive. State directors, it was claimed, are prepared to launch thousands of projects during the next 12 days. These programs, officials claimed, are counted on to put the employment drive over—or nearly so. Little hope exists, however, that many more States will be relieved of their relief rolls before November 15. Federal participation has ended in only six States thus far, and the Re- lief Administration is preparing to spend some $50,000,000 to carry the relief rolls through November 15. With bi-monthly pay rolls for men at work on relief projects, it will be Tnecessary to tide them over during the first two weeks of the program, even if the desired employment goal is at- tained. The Civilian Conservation Corps, with which Hopkins has nothing to do except to furnish maintenance funds, has attained a maximum strength of 582,648. Director Robert Fechner an- nounced yesterday that 2,427 camps will be operated this Winter. Italian Official on Radio. NEW YORK, October 19 (#).—Cor- rado Zoli, last governor of Italian East Afriea and an authority on Eritrea, has been scheduled for a talk from Rome via WABC-CBS at 12:45 pm. Sunday. He is to discuss the African situation, | that the Democrats will continue con- | trol of the Senate for at least another four years, and a Republican Presi- dent, if elected in 1936, would have on his hands a Democratic Senate dur- ing his entire term of office. | No wonder there is talk of some | kind of coalition effort on the part | of some of the Republican presidential | “possibilities” today. They are sug- | gesting that they will appoint four or | more Democrats as members of their cabinets, should they win. The list of Senators who come up for re-election this year presents a galaxy of political stars. For example, the leaders of both parties in the Sen- ate, Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat, | and McNary of Oregon, Republican, | must make the race. Both are ex- pected to be re-elected. The death of Senator Long removes a threat to Robinson’s victory, for Long had said he would go into Arkansas to cam- | paign against the veteran Democratic leader. Borah and Dickinson. In the Republican list of Senators who stand for re-election are three who have been mentioned as presi- dential candidates, Borah of Idaho, McNary of Oregon and Dickinson of Iowa. Borah has come into the pic- ture more prominently than the others. His great ability as an orator and his wide following in the country have been responsible for this. There | is a growing feeling, however, that Borah will. in the end, make his play for re-election to the Senate. HMis seeming friendliness with the Town- send old-age pension group and hxsi insistance on currency expansion of | one kind or another are regarded as | evidence that he is intent upon hold- | ing the electorate of Idaho rather | than upon being a presidential candi- date. Among the other Senators who must face the music next year is Senator Norris, a Roosevelt Republican, who | seems to have Nebraska in the hollow | of his hand. There have been sug- gestions that Norris might prefer to stand for election as Governor. His pet plan, unicameral legislature, has been adopted in Nebraska. If he were younger, it is said, the Nebraska Sena- tor might prefer to become chief ex- ecutive of the State while this new experiment is tested and put into ef- fect for the first time. | Senator Glass of Virginia, one-time Secretary of the Treasury and author of the Federal Reserve system, must run again. He has been a vivid critic of the New Deal, but he will be found enlisted in the campaign to re-elect President Roosevelt, it is said. And 50, it is predicted, will Senator Bailey Delaware, Keyes of New Hampshire, McNary of Oregon, Metcalf of Rhode | Island, Norris of Nebraska, Schall of | Minnesota and White of Maine. | Whatever the Democrats in Nebraska | may think, Norris of Nebraska, a friend and supporter of President Roosevelt, is likely to be considered more of an asset to the Roosevelt ad- ministration than any Democrat who might be substituted. As in the past, some of the Democrats to join in sup- port of Norris for re-election. New Jersey has been showing signs there may be a movement among | counts, ranging from subornation of | perjury to conspiracy and forgery of Government documents.

Dickinson's chances may be meas- ured by the popularity of the corn- hog Government checks distributed in ‘!uwa next year. Hastings in Dela- ware seems fairly sure of re-election. Keyes is likely to win in New Hamp- shire, although there has been a sug- gestion that some other Republican may try for the place—former Sena- tor Moses, for example. McNary is expected to win in Oregon and Metcalf in Rhodedsland. In Minnesota Schall’s most dangerous opponent may be Gov. Floyd B. Olson, a Farmer-Laborite. In Maine, White has the edge, al- though he may have a tough opponent nate him. The senatorial campaigns are al- ready beginning to shape up. The Democrats are expected to name Sen- ator Joseph F. Guffey of Pennsyl- vania to be chairman of their Sena- torial Campaign Committee. Senator Hastings of Delaware is at present the chairman of the Republican Senato- rial Campaign Committee. However, he is to be a candidate for re-election and the chairmanship will be passed on to another Republican Senator. The Senate has two blind Senators —Gore of Oklahoma, a Democrat, and Schall of Minnesota, a Republican. It is a coincidence that both are up for re-election next year. —_— AUTO CRASH KILLS PET, BOY AND FATHER UNHURT of North Carolina, who has predicted dire things as a result of New Deal legislation and administration. Massachusetts G. O. P. Standout. Of the nine States in which the Republicans might conceivably have a chance for victory in senatorial elec- tions, Massachusetts stands out. The New Deal has failed more and more in popularity in New England. Rhode Island, which along with Massa- chusetts, went for Roosevelt in 1932, last August bumped the New Deal hard, electing a Republican member of the House by a wide margin. The other day a senatorial district in Mas- sachusetts chose a Republican State Senator by an increased vote, show- ing, it is believed, the trend in the Bay State. Henry Cabot Lodge, a member of the State House of Representatives and a grandson of the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, has just an- nounced his candidacy for the Re- publican senatorial nomination next year. He is seeking the seat now held by Marcus A. Coolidge, Democrat. That Lodge will have the G. O. P. nomination is not by any means cer- tain. He is 33 years old, has made a good record in the House of Repre- sentatives and organized labor is re- ported to be friendly to him. There are other aspirants for the senatorial nomination. James F. Cavanagh, a Boston attorney, is one of those who has announced himself. Sinclair Weeks, mayor of Newton, a son of the late John W. Weeks, who was Secretary of War in the Harding ad- ministration and a Senator before that, may become a candidate, too. ‘Whoever the Republican candidate for the Senate may be, he will have strong Democratic orposition. Gov. James M. Curley has told intimates he would rather run for the Senate than seek re-election as Governor. No one seems to doubt Curley could win the Senatorial nomination if he de- cides to go after it. He is the dom- inant figure in Democratic politics in the State.

Demand Unprecedented. “This demand,” said Tass (Soviet) News Agency, “is unprecedented in the history of international negotia- tions and caused great indignation in Ulan Bator. “It is expected that the Japanese government will call its too free dip- lomat to order.” A sharp Soviet protest over a recent clash on the Manchoukuoan border still has not been answered by Tokio. Reports tonight said the threat of occupation was made by the Jap- anese chief, Kanki, of the Japanese- Manchoukuoan delegation negotiating border disputes with the Mongolians. He was quoted as having said that under instructions from his govern- ment he was compelled to announce that if the Mongolians did not accept the demand, the Japanese-Manchou- Louise Shaffer Bauer, the flancee he lost. D. A. V. OPPOSES RULING ‘The Ace-Rasmussen Chapter of Dis- abled American Veterans joined ranks last night with organizations opposing the Board of Education ruling that Communism may be taught, but not advocated in the District schools. Characterizing the school board's position as “indefensible,” the organi- zation asked M. A. Harlan, national commander of Disabled American Veterans, to wield his influence to oppose it. ‘ kuoan authorities will be obliged “to penetrate to Ulan Bator and solve the question by means of force.” Mongolians Close to Soviet. The Mongolian Peoples Republic is fashioned after the Soviet Union, with which it has close relations. Occupation would bring the Jap- anese-Manchuokuoan forces in con- tact with a large stretch of Soviet territory, in addition to the Soviet- Manchoukuoan border. Soviet accounts said a force of 40 foreigners penetrated more than 2 kilometers inside Russian territory and clashed with 20 members of a Soviet border patrol. :F Mass Meeting!

MUELLER DECLARED SHORN OF POWERS Reichsbishop Expected to Resign Soon, but Foes Doubt Peace Will Prevail. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 19.—Reichsbishop Ludwig Mueller, a storm center of German church affairs, has been de- prived of his office for some time ex- cept in name and will soon resign, church circles said today.

The latter said, however, the pase tors had accepted the committee in a message to the government.
