CONGRESS BALLOT SHARING INTEREST Republicans Hope to Slash Democratic Majority ! in House. B the Associated Press. The election of a new Congress to dig into & mountain of “unfinished pusiness” shared national interest with the presidential contest in to- day’s balloting. Republican candidates hoped to slash away the overwhelming Demo- gratic majority in the House of Rep- Tesentatives, although they had no chance to wrest control of the Senate. Democratic victories in 1932 and 2934 gave the party enough Senators serving six-year terms to guarantee it more than 50 of the Senate’s 96 seats, Zegardless of today’s returns. Thirty-five Senators will be named today from a list of 132 candidates of smore than a half dozen shades of po- WUtical belief. An unusual upset would be necessary #0 place even the House into Repub- lican hands, since 308 out of the 435 meats are now held by Democrats. Republicans have 100 members, while Progressives hold 7 and Farmer-La- borites 3. Seventeen seats are vacant. Voters are choosing their new Rep-i yesentatives from among 1,239 aspir- ants, including Socialists, Communists, Prohibitionists, Progressives, Farmer- Yaborites and ChriStian and Union party candidates. Hard Work to Be Faced. No matter what its political com- {plexion is, the next Congress will face | plenty of hard work when it convenes | January 5. i Proposals for tax revision, sweeping | governmental reorganization and new aids to agriculture are expected to gome before it, in addition to the| problems created by the expiration of & whole series of New Deal emergency | statutes. Gubernatoral contests, closely mesh- ¥d in many instances with the presi- dential campaign, command public at- | gention in 33 States, where 128 candi- Wates are in the field. .| Twenty-five of the governorships lt} ptake are held by Democrats, apart; from 11 others not involved in today's ! glection, New chief executives were | gssured in many States, since only 34 incumbents are seeking to return. Socialists named gubernatorial nomi- Iees in 18 States, while 5 candidates of the Union party, 12 Communists, 4 Prohibitionists and others also were | on the ticket. Nation-wide attention centered on fhe New York Governor's race, where William F. Bleakley, the Republican mominee, is opposing Gov. Heibert H. | Lehman, candidate for re-election at the request of Democratic party‘ feaders. i The electorate of 30 States were!

EFFORT FORPEACE Opens Parliament Session| With Throne Speech in State Ceremonial. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 3.—King Ed- | ward today pledged his nation to do; all in its power “to further the ap- | peasement of Europe.” ! Standing in front of the throne in | the House of Lords, garbed in the | heavy state robes of gold-edged crim- | son velvet, the 42-year-old bachelor | monarch made this significant plea | for peace to the bristling armed camps of troubled Europe. ‘The new sovereign, opening the first session of Parliament in his reign, announced that after the coro- | nation in London next May he would | go to India to be crowned emperor. He also called an imperial confer- | ence to meet in London next May. Rain Dulls Ceremony. The state opening was robbed of | part of its brilliance by & heavy rain | which forced cancellation of the scheduled procession from Bucking- | ham Palace. ‘Thousands of his subjects, jamming | the Mall and the Horse Guards' Parade in Whitehall, stood in the | driving rain to catch a fleeling‘ glimpse of Edward as he passed in a | closed motor car. It was an uncrowned king who opened Parliament. Not authorized to wear the imperial crown until after the coronation May 5, Edward | followed the glittering jeweled emblem | of the nation and empire in the pro- cession from the robing room. Reaffirms Protestant Faith, King Edward, in a firm, resonant voice, launched into the reading of his address from the throne after affirming his solemn declaration of Protestant faith.

MACY Ashes of Teacher of Helen Keller Are Enshrined at Cathedral. ‘The ashes of Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, celebrated teacher of Helen Keller, were enshrined at Washington Cathedral yesterday afternoon. A brief but deeply impressive service of com- | mittal was conducted in the Chapel of St. Joseph of Arimathea, with Right | Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop 61| Washington, officiating. Miss Keller herself brought the re- | mains of her guide and friend to the | Capital. During the ceremony she sat | with bowed head in the first row of | chairs in the chapel while her secre- tary, Miss Polly Thompson, “trans- | lated” to her the words spoken and | the hymns sung in the service. Her | flowers—clusters of Autumn blossoms and golden forest leaves—were banked around the urn. “The Cathedral in the Nation’s Capi- tal"” Bishop Freeman declared in his | eulogy, “honors itself in giving sepul- ture to Mrs. Macy. Among the great | teachers of all time she occupies a | commanding and conspicuous place. | 1f You Suffer With Kidney Trouble | You ean ¢t kidneys to mormal fune- tioning method at Drink Mountain Vall Mineral er direct from famo Spring an E ed by cians for over 30 years.

Possibly no recorded service by a woman bears comparison with her supreme accom- plishraent in bringing light to one whose life was enveloped in darkness. ‘The touch of her hand did more than illuminate the pathway of a clouded mind: it literally emancipated a soul. In bringing understanding to the mind of Helen Keller, Mrs. Macy gave to the werld one of the rarest women of our generation. The names of the teacher and her distinguished pupil constitute one of the most glow- Manhattan Shirts ing annals in the history of our age.” Rev. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon residentiary, read the lessons of the service, and Ross Farrar, accompanied by Robert G. Barrow, Cathedral choir- master and organist, sang “Lead, Kindly Light.” ‘Twenty pupils of Gallaudet College attended. Others present included Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress; Dr. and Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, Dr. Philip S. Smith, Dr. Conrad Berens of New York and Mrs. Stokes.
