HOUSE ESEATS
Democrats Claim Majority
Safe, Though Admitting
IS Losses Possible
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

A determined Republican ef-
fort to break the two-third Demo
cratic majority in the House, and
the Democrats fighting to retain
it, today marked the closing days
of the national congressional
campaign.
With the election five days
away, Republican leaders claimed
gains of from Is to so in the
House, while Democratic predic-
tions varied from a slight gain
to a loss of not over Is seats.
Majority Held Safe
The "off the record" surveys
Of campaign agencies of both the
major parties indicated a Re
publican gain in the House,
though not large enough to
threaten the huge Democratic
majority.
The Democratic "sore spots" re-
vealed in a party survey are
chiefly in California, Nebraska,
Michigan and Ohio. A similar
survey indicated that the Re-
publicans are most vulnerable in
the industrial sections of the
East, including some Congress
sional districts in New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New England.
The Republican House fight is
featured by the "come back" ef-
fort of many former party lead
ers. These include Burton
French, of Idaho; Fred Purnell,
Of Indiana; Carl Bachman, of
West Virginia; Earle Michener,
of Michigan, and Frank Murphy,
Of Ohio.
Democratic guns have been
trained on Republican members
Of the House, who were most bit
ter in the last session in their
criticism of the New Deal"
A determined fight also is
being made by Democrats to elect
q negro to Congress. They are
backing Arthur H. Mitchell, ne
gro, in the First Illinois district
against Representative Oscar
DePrieSt, Republican.

HOCKEY STAR. "Bill" Cook, Captain of the
NY. Rangers, says: "A hockey player can't
afford to have nerves. The way l guard my
nerves and yet smoke all want is to smoke
only Camels. They have taste that sure hits
the spot. And Camels never get on my nerves."

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 U.N.S0.
Lou Tellegen, actor and man OF
many loves, had only one true
affection-the sea, it was revealed
today.
Worshiping the beautiful and
detesting the uglinesS of illness,
Mr.. Tellegen sought peace in
death, and in death he returned
to his quest for beauty. He asked
that his ashes he streWn to the
open sea, and this wish will be
honored.
Eve Casanova, last wife of the
matinee idol, revealed at her
home in Leonia, N. j., today that
she has wired Mrs. j. p. Cudahy
in whose home in Hollywood Mr..
Tellegen ended his life, to have
the body cremated and the re-
mains distributed from boat or
airplane. Miss Casanova said:
"He loved the sea. He often
told me that when he died he
would like to return to it."
The fourth wife and former
stage partner of the once-famouS
actor told of the melancholy
which obsessed her husband in
recent months. Last Friday, she
said, she received a letter from
him containing only these words:
I'm doomed. / know it."
OTHER LETTERS
But Miss Casanova was not the
only woman to whom Mr.. Telle-
gen wrote in his last days on
earth, nor the only woman to
whom he revealed the depths of
his despair because of his fall
from public favor and a reputedly
incurable illness.
To Florence Turner, friend of
IL years standing, he turned in
his desperation and told of his
fight to regain his former fame
as the leading man of Sarah
Bernhardt and great lover.
She revealed the contents of a
letter he had written to her on
october IA. It read:

FINANCIAL DATA
AS of Sept. 30

During the fiscal year ended Sept
80, securities amounting to nearly
Sc, 100000 were disposed of, so that
cash assets we're 100000 less. In
ventories, on the other hand, in
creased s2,3O0,OOO. Net working
capital was nearly S4,500,000 less
while profit and loss surplus de-
creased S5,100000. On Sept. 30 last,
the current ratio was 524 to l COM
pared with 90 to l the year
previous.
The company's earning record is
somewhat cratic, but profits have
been shown each of the depression
years. For the 1888 fiscal year S222
was earned on the common, while
s1.95 was earned in the year ended
Sept. 30 last.
Common dividend payments also
have been cratic, although at no
time were dividends omitted. Dur
ing the calender year 1888, $180 was
paid on the common stock, while
the stock is now on a $40 annual
basis.
South Porto Rico Sugar was in
corporated in 1900 in New Jersey.
Both classes of stock are listed on
the New York stock Exchange. At a
current price Of 24la the common
sells to yield 90 per cent.

CARRIER BONDS
BEING STUDIED
New York Bankers Favor
Years Extension of
Legal Status.
BB Times Special


NEW YORK, Nov. 14-The bank
ing community is almost unani-
mouSly in favor of continuing for
another year the emergency meas
ure under which railroad bonds
legal for investment on Jan. l. 1881,
are continued in that status, unless
now in default. Hearings on the
question have been held during the
last few days by the joint legislative
committee on banks of New York
state.
Prior to the depression, in order
that railroad bonds might qualify
for the legal list, it was required
that the railroad earn its fixed
charges a minimum of Is times in
at least four of the preceding five
years.
The decentralization of the rail-
road industry which set in early in
1880 made it necessary that the
requirements be relaxed if cata-
strophic dumping of railroad bonds
by trust companies and savings
banks was to be avoided.
Since these institutions are COM
PEELED by state law to select their
investments only from the legal list,
moratorium on its requirements
was enacted early in 1882. 1t was
provided that only bonds whose in
tereSt or principal was defaulted
subsequent to Jan. /, 1881, should
be struck from the legal list. In
1888 the amendment was renewed
and it is now in effect until April
l, 1885.
Unless it is renewed again, trust
companies and savings banks will
be forced to dispose after next April
one of those investments in COM
panies whose earnings since the end
of 1880 do not qualify them for the
legal list according to the pre-de-
preston requirements.
Renewal of the amendment at
the next session of the legislature,
which convenes in January, is not,
however, the simple matter it was
last year because of changed con-
ditionS. For there now exists a
plethora of funds seeking safe in
vestment. The failure of railroad
earnings to hold any substantial re-
covery has kept the door of the
capital market closed to all but a
few exceptions in the industry.

COST OF LIVING
DIPS IN MONTH,
SURVEY SHOWS
October Recession First
Since April; Index Still
Above Year Ago.
BIZ Times Special

y y L tmto cHttlAt
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-In the
first decline since April, the October
cost of living index Of wage earners
fell one-tenth of l per cent, accord
ing to study issued today by the
national industrial conference
board.
Despite the recession, living costs
at the close of the month we're 81
per cent higher than in the CORE
spending month of last year. The
index, however, was 1919 per cent
lower than in the corresponding
month of 1929.
The boards indexes consequently
placed the purchasing power of the
dollar at 1895 cents in October,
compared with 1885 cents in Sep
TENDER, 1899 cents in April, and 100
cents in 1923.
The indexes showed declines of o
per cent in food prices; OIL in cloth
ing, and increase of 0.6 in housing;
OIL in fuel and light (gas and cleo
tricity unchanged, and GA in sun
dries. Thus two price declines, with
food the major item, overbalanced
slightly the increases in three items
in October.
Rents continued their upward
trend, the report pointed out, and
became 81 per cent higher than in
October, 1888, but still 27.9 per cent
under October, 1929. Although coal
prices rose OF per cent from Sep
TENDER to October, the report ex-
planned this was less than usual,
with the higher level 81 high than
a year ago but rs per cent lower
than in October, 1929.
The advance in the cost of sun
dries was explained as due to in
creases in the prices of admissions
to motion picture theaters as we'll
as in prices of tobacco and house
furnishings.
