The House, according to Associated
Press dispatches, stood at noon today
as follows:
Republicans elected, at.
Democrats elected, ZIG.
Farmer-Labor elected, /.
Still doubtful, /.
The one district left doubtful in this
table is the seat at large in Illinois
for which Representative Yates, re-
publican, is now leading.
Out in Kansas the election boards
were today endeavoring to decide who
has been elected Governor, with the
contest extremely close between the
Democratic and Republican candidates
WOOdring Leads by rs.
The fate of the two candidates, Harry
Woodring, Democrat, and Frank (Chief)
Haucke. apparently rested with the alb
Sentee ballots, which will not be
counted until next week.
On the face of complete unofficial
returns, not including absentee ballots,
Woodring had lead of 26 votes. It
seemed unlikely that today's canvass
would SO greatly alter the totals as to
eliminate as the determining factor ap-
proxlmately $500 cast by persons away
from their home precincts.
The final Official count will not be
conducted until December /.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader, returned to the Capt.
tai Thursday night, but he awaited con-
ferences and recounts before claiming
control of the next Senate.
II will only say" he commented,
that whoever is in power in the next
Congress I hope prosperous times re-
turn to America"

TWO VACANCIES
ON D. c. COMMITTEE
Senate Places of Baird and
Robson to Be Filled When
Congress Meets.

Two vacancies exist on the Senate
District Committee, to be filled as soon
as Congress meets next month; as a
result of the election.
Senator Baird, Republican. of New
Jersey was on the District Committee
in the last session, but was serving
in the Senate only temporarily and
did not seek election. HIS place in the
Senate will be taken by Dwight w.
Morrow.
The other vacancy on the District
Committee results from the defeat of
Senator John M Robson, Republican,
in Kentucky. Senator Robson was
serving in the Senate on Governors
appointment. For the remainder of
the Senate term expiring next March
he apparently has been defeated by Ben
Williamson, Democrat. For the six
year term Senator Robson was de-
feated by Judge M M. Logan, Demo-
crat.
These two places on the District
Committee will be filled by the Re-
publican Committee on Committees.

WILBUR TO reveal .
CHILD SURVEY DATA
As Chairman of White House
Conference He Will Talk
in Star Forum.

Facts concerning the health and
habits and the general welfare of chill
dren of America will be revealed by DR..
Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of In
terror, whom President Hoover more
than year ago appointed chairman OF
the White House Conference on Child
Health and Protection, in talk he is
to make tomorrow night in the Ma
tional Radio Forum arranged by The
Star and broadcast by the Columbia
BroadcaSting System over Nationwide
hook-up. The forum will be heard To-
cally through WMAL. The forum series
Is resuming after six weeks lapse due
to the campaign
The Child Health Conference will be
attended by more than 1000 persons,
including some of the illustrtous men
and women of the country. 1t viii con-
vene in Washington November for q
three-day session.
Farley Held Important.
Declaring that the greatest asset OF
race is is children, and that their
bodily strength and development should
prepare them to receive the heritage
which each generation must bequeath
to the next, President Hoover has pub
licly described this conference as q
highly important undertaking.
The President is known to look upon
the work already done and to be done
by this conference as important as any
national movement undertaken during
his administration. His object Is to
take national stock OF the progress ana
present the situation in the health and
protection of childhood, hoping that
out of it will be developed common
sense plans for further advancement.
When President Hoover decided upon
this taking stock of the youngsters Of
the Nation and was ready to put his
plan in motion, he turned at once to
DR.. Wilbur, his personal and Intimate
friend from college days, to carry 1t
through to success.
DIR. Wilbur Experienced.
Like the President, DR.. Wilbur is q
humanitarian and always has had an
interest in the welfare of children. In
addition, DR.. Wilbur has had wide
experience, not only as medical doc
tor and surgeon, but during his long
term as president of Leland Stanford
University.
DR.. Wilbur's first step was to appoint
a committee of men and women whose
endeavors brought them close to the
subject of child life and training to
assist him in planning the details and
in inaugurating the move. Numerous
subcommittee were named. Soon the
great preliminary work was underway
and after more than IA months of in
vestigating, studying and analysing the
life and welfare of children the move
ment has reached the point where the
more than 1000 persons identified with
this work will meet to make known the
findings and to recommend definite
steps.

FAULTY BUILDING
! OF R-lOl INDICATED
Documents Say Holes in Bag
Reduced Lifting Power.
Girders Rubbed Bags.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, November documents
indicating that major construction
faults had been discovered in the
dirigible R-l01 before she was sliced
in two for insertion of a 75-foot section
were introduced today at the inquiry
into the ships loss.
One of them was the memorandum
BY Col. ". G. Richmond. designer Of the
craft, who persisted in the crash OF
october 5. In it he noted that holes
in the gas bags caused serious loss OF
lifting power.
Lifting Power Thought Lost.
Sir John Simon, head Of the board OF
inquiry, said these documents had been
on file at the Cardington airship head
quarters for some time and he could
not understand why they had not been
produced before.
Col. Richmond's memorandum was
filed last July after, the ship had
handled heavily in trial flight. He
wrote that his investigation of the effect
of gas bag holes indicated the loss of
lift amounted to about / ton for each
square inch of hole in II hours. In
his opinion, the memorandum stated,
this was somewhat startling and indi-
Gated the great importance Of guarding
against such holes.
Orders Rubbed Against Bags.
The second document was a memo
randum from the department of inspec-
tions. It noted that notifications in
the dirigible's wiring system had
brought the gas bags up against the
longitudinal Orders, where the bags
rubbed against nuts and bolts. Such
points of fouling, it was stated, occurred
at hundreds of points throughout the
ship and the use of padding had proved
unsatisfactory.
until this matter is taken in hand"
the memorandum read, I'VE cannot
recommend any extension of the flying
permit"
Sir John was visibly disturbed at
these documents and asserted he would
make it his business to discover why
they had not been produced before.

FATAL MINE BLAST
INQUIRY IS STARTED
More Deaths Likely to Swell
Toll of 70 Lives in
MiIIfieId, Ohio.
Ry the Associated Press.

MILLFIELDb Ohio, November T.
Millheld today laid its dead back in the
earth that killed them, while officials
began their Investigations to determine
the cause of the mine explosion which
claimed at least 70 lives.
Federal, State and county officials
each sought to learn what caused the
blast in the No. 6 mine of the Sunday
Greek Coal Co. and the release of gas
which filled the underground tunnels
Wednesday afternoon. Their actual in
spections, however, probably will not be
started before late today or tomorrow.
when the last traces of the fatal fumes
are expected to be cleared from the
depths of the mine.
Guardsmen Withdrawn.
Scores of hushed funeral professions
were the only evidences of the disaster
today. The feverish activity of the last
two days, the constant work of rescue
crews, the patrols of the National Guard.
the dispensing of coffee and blankets
and the tension of the waiting crowds
had given way. The Guardsmen with
drew last night together with most of
the Red Cross, Salvation Army and
other relief workers as their tasks were
ended.
j. j. Forbes, director of the Federal
Bureau of Mines at Pittsburgh, was in
charge of the Federal investigation, as
sisted by w. E. Smith, head of the Ohio
Bureau of Mines. Another inquiry was
directed by State Director of Industrial
Relations Will T. Blake, while Coroner
L. F. Jones of Athens County planned
an inquest some time today.
Cites Two Possible Causes.
Smith said there were two possible
causes of the explosion-ignition of
either gas or coal dust. An open fame
could ignite the gas, while coal dust
could be set OF only by an arc light,
he said.
Smith also asserted that there could
have been only one explosion instead Of
the two which the surviving miners
reported. He explained that when an
explosion occurs in a mine level, the
oxygen is exhausted for quite distance
and the rush of air from both sides to
I'LL the vacuum causes sort of thun-
derclap fraction of a second after the
blast. He also said that most of the
ACd0 C0CNuAl0CQ 4GOLu 0ldCA udIIlp
rather than directly from the gas.
Death Toll May Be Increased.
There still was a possibility that the
toll would be increased today Some Of
the 20 injured miners were not expected
to live and it was feared a few more
bodies that might never be recovered
remained in the mine. All of those
recovered had been identified and
claimed last night by their relatives,
who were permitted to pass through
the three make-shift n1orgues late
yesterday.
The explosion will cost the State Of
Ohio between 100000 and $3.50 900,
the State Industrial Commission esti-
mated today.
The commission started at once the
payment of death awards.
Under the compensation law the
State will pay the maximum death
award Of $4,000 to the families of each
person killed, which will cost $513,5OO.
In addition the cost Of the funerals of
each victim is paid from the State COM
pensation fund.

STORE LIQUOR AT ST. PIERRE.
Coast Guard OniciaIs Expect Spring
Smuggling Drive.

Coast Guard oficials are expecting a
great Spring drive to smuggle Canadian
liquor into the United states via the
picturesque French island of st. Pierre,
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, according
to an Associated Press story today.
The theory that bootleggers are pill
ing their cargoes high on the rocky
little island was put forward when off,
Gals scanned records covering the time
since May 81, when Canada put a
legislative Quietus on over-the-border
expectation to this country.
The records disclose that, while i'm
ports to st. Pierre from Canada have
skyrocketed in the wake Of the Cana
dian law banning expectation to the
United States, scant, II any, increase in
the Illicit traff1c from st. Pierre has
been detected.
Exports TO Island Heavy.
During last July and August 370,678
gallons of whisky were exported from
Canada to st. Pierre, compared with
1892 gallons during the same period
in 1929 During the first six months
OF 1880, 686,446 gallons, or an average
of ia, 408 gallons per month, we're ex-
ported to the island.
These statistics were given to the
Customs Bureau by the French govern
ment, but no figures were available to
indicate exports from ST. Pierre.
Coast Guard records showed increases
in the amounts of liquor seized, COM
pairing May with successive months of
this year. Oficials explained that, while
figures covered all activities of the Coast
Guard, they related almost solely to the
traffic out of st. Pierre. They said
several factors supported the belief that
liquor is being stored at st. Pierre.

RESIGNATION is DENIED.
Rome Foreign Office Brands Stories OF
Grandi Quitting False"

ROME, November (P).-The foreign
Office today denied stories emanatlng
from Geneva and published in Vienna
and London that Dino Grandi, foreign
minister, had resigned The foreign
Office termed the reports completely
false" while Fascist party authorities
said they were ridiculous.
The foreign Office at the same time
denied reports published in the United
States that scores had been jailed for
completely in an anti-government, anti
Mussolini plot. 1t was said that nothing
resembling such movement had been
discovered. Arrests of Bartelo Belotti,
former minister, and Prof Giuseppe
Renzi and his wife in connection with
chain letters denouncing the govern
ment were termed isolated instances.
Competent observers pointed out that
Grandi was one of the stanchest OF
Premier Mussolinis henchmen; that he
was instrumental in the events leading
to the march on Rome, and that he had
never wavered in his complete devo-
ton to the Fascist cause.
