BEER RPEDDLERS
FOUND SLAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 8 UN.SJ.
Two more gang killings challeng-
ed authorities today as they
sought a motive for the Staying
Of two men whose bodies were
found in a West Side beer flat.
The murdered men were
Frank Smurlo, ex-convict and
known gambler, and William
Smooth" Sierra, owner of the
flat and known to police as q
hijacker.
Authorities leaned toward the
theory that a new gang of alco-
hol dealers had invaded Sierza's
territory and sought this means
Of removing competition.
Each man had been shot sew
eral times. Smurlo was shot by
men who followed him to the flat
the positions Of the bodies indi-
Gated. The bodies were not dis
covered until four hours after
the killings. A red blotch of
blood appearing on the ceiling
below led to the discovery.

however, place the Democratic
gains at just short Of actual
control.
Must UnSeat "a
To win the House the Demo
Gratis have to unseat 81 incum-
bent Republicans. It would be
a major, if not unprecedented,
turnover in an off-year.
But the Democrats have con-
centrated on the House and they
are more confident than they
have been in years.
The fates have played into
their hands, too, for tomorrow's
voting comes at a time when the
country is on the threshold Of a
severe winter and highly dissatis-
fled over the economic situation.
The most that can happen to-
is that the Democrats
will win control Of both houses
of the Seventy-Second Congress.
Faces Tough Fight
The least that can happen is
that the Democratic successes
will be held just short Of control.
In either event, it is certain
that the Hoover administration
faces a tough two years with the
Seventy-second Congress, for the
Senate will be controlled, as it
has been for several years, by
a Democratic Republican, n S u r
gent majority. and the House
very likely will be, too.
Most Democratic leaders pri-
vately do not want to see their
party win control of both
branches Of Congress tomorrow.
It would give the party legislative
responsibility without the execu-
tive responsibility necessary to
enactment of a party program.
They would really like to win
the House-if for no other reason
than the psychological effect it
will have. It is automatic in

Although tomorrow's election is
admittedly a two-party show be-
tween Republicans and Demo
Gratis. big gains in votes cast are
predicted by minority party lead
ers, and political observers here
are closely watching the race OF
Socialists and Communists in
many Congressional districts.
The election, it is declared, may
furnish an answer to claims that
Communists propaganda emanat-
ing from Moscow has penetrated
deeply into the ranks Of workers
throughout the country.
1t also may tell If the more
radical Communist party is cut
ting deeply into the ranks of
the more radical Socialist organi
zations. Two years ago the
Socialist party cast 267 400 and
the Communists 48.770 votes.
A survey has disclosed there
are candidates of "a parties seek
ing places either in Senate or
House at the polls. The Socialist
party is third. in numbers, hav-

this number IL seek the Senate

REVOLT DENIED
IN MADRID

MADRID, Nov. 3 (U.sJ.-Pre-
mier Gen. d'Amaso Berenguer
continued yesterday to deny re-
ports that revolutions were in
progress in Barcelona and Va
lencia.
Peseta SPECTATORS are blamed
for the report, since those who
sold the peseta short were caught
this week in a rising market
caused by gold shipments from
Spain to England.
Meanwhile, figuratively, the
Spanish ship of state continues to
drift aimlessly in troubled wa
ters, with Pilot Berenguer assur-
ing all and sundry that all is
we'll aboard.
But apart from the rhetorical
expressions to which Spanish pol
iticians are given-it is an old
Spanish custom to say anything
in the most complicated manner
posSible-the fact remains that
Spain is preoccupied by her po-
litical future and does not wish
a second experience with a die

MARA RESUMES
TUNNEY CASE

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 G.N.S.).
Round three of the Gene Tunney-
Timothy Mara half-million-dollar
legal bout was resumed in Su-
preme Court today only after an
unexpected complication had de-
layed proceedings an hour while
attorneys conferred in the judges
chambers.
It developed that Mara, sports
promoter who is suing the re-
tired heavyweight champion Of
the world for breach of an oral
contract, learned at a football
game yesterday that his uncle, a
Mr.. Harris, years ago married a
Miss Mckee, sister-in-law of Judge
Peter A. Hating, presiding judge
at the trial. Mara Immediately
consulted his lawyer.
The complication was explained
to the jury, after the hour long
conference, by Martin w. Little
ton, Mara's attorney. Emory r.
Buckner, Tunney counsel, arose
and said he desired to proceed
with the trial, as the marriage oc-
CURED many years ago and the
couple had died.
Lloyd Stryker, counsel for the
co-defendant, William Gibson, for

and Judge Hating ordered the
trial to proceed.
Mara resumed the witness stand
for cross-examination by Buckner
and reiterated his claim that

Boilers Are Big Factor In
Election Fights

American politics that the admin
istration which loses control OF
Congress in nid-term invariably
is defeated in the national elec-
ton two years later.
In wilson's Case
The last instance Of this was
in 1918, and before that in 1910.
The Democrats won control OF
Congress 20 years ago and two
years later Wilson was elected.
The Republicans won it back in
1918 and followed that success
by electing Harding in 1920.
Most of the Democratic gains
are expected to come from the
Middle West, the so-called "bor-
der States" and in the populous
industrial centers which have
been hardest hit by the business
depression and its accompanying
unemployment.
Hoover swept the border States
in 1928, and on the coat-tails
of his victory there rode into
office many Republican Congress
men from districts that are nor
mally Democratic.
To the normal backswing Of
the pendulum this year is added
the factors Of depression in the
agricultural regions as well as in
the cities and towns whose bus1-
ness is affected by farm pur-
chasing power.
Presidential candidates. thickly
sprinkle tomorroW's test.
Ritchie Sure Of Victory
In New York, there is Franklin
D.. Roosevelt. If he is to have
any chance Of becoming the
Democratic presidential candidate
in 1892, he must be reelected
governor of New York tomorrow.
Most people in New York believe
he will be.
In Maryland, there is Albert C.
Ritchie, standing for his fourth
term as governor. His name has
already figured in three Demo
cratic national conventions, and
he has lived politically to see the
anti-prohibition views he has
steadily expressed for 10 years
come, this year, to be incor-
porated in a number Of both
Republican and Democratic plat
forms. He, too, is fairly certain
Of reelection.
In New Jersey, there is Dwight
W.. Morrow, Republican candidate
for the Senate and considered
certain of election. He said a
few weeks ago he expected to
vote for President Hoover for re-
election in '32, but the state
ment did not serve to kill
speculation as to his own posi-
bilities.
PinchOt on Scene
In strife-torn Pennsylvania,
there is Clifford Pinchot, running
for election as governor again
with about half his party boiling
his candidacy, and about half the
opposition party coming to his
standard. If he wins, it is ex-
pected he will be a candidate for
the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation in 1882, irrespective OF
whether Mr.. Hoover is or is not
G. candidate.
Despite the heat of the cam
paign and the general unrest that
can express itself only at the polls,
the leaders do not expect any rec
ord voting tomorrow.
The vote is always light in off
years, as compared to presidential
years, and while some contests to-
morrow may bring out the voters
in record numbers, the national
vote is expected to fall sharply
away from the high peak Of ST.
OOO, 900 which it reached in the
Hoover Smith contest two years
ago.
