flames.
His wife and 2-year-old son Lloyd,
who were with him in the basement,
were also seriously burned.

Reports received indicate that the tar

New Jersey is a manufacturing Statc
and readily affected by any changes III

While the Democratic leaders refuse
to concedc the election Of so many Re-
publicans next month, they ncvcrthc..
less admit that substantial gains VIII
be made. According TO their reports
the reelection of Democrats IN the
I'd. 1th and 9Th districts is problem
atcal, they assert privately, with the
odds very much in favor of inc oppo-
sition. They also admit that the Re
publicans have fighting chance in tho
9Th, Sth, 9th and 10th districts. which
are now represented by Democrats, but
declare that their reports indicate the
reelection Of the Democrats.
Because of the favorable outlook IN
the Congressional situation, eX-Gov'

leaders are now laying their plans 80

difficulty is expected so far as the

cause Senator Smallcy, in addition TO
