Mrs. Roosevelt
To Serve Wine
This Winter

Wine will be served at the
White House state dinners this
winter, Mrs. Roosevelt said to-
day.
She plans to serve not more
than two wines, preferably of
American manufacture, at each
of the dinners.
Said Mrs. Roosevelt:
1T will be a very simple
thing. We shall merely serve
American wine to those who
care for it."
The prohibition amendment was
not repealed in time for the White
House to serve wines at state din.
ners last season. The beverage
was served, however, at the more
informal parties given after re-
peal.
Mrs. Roosevelt said she did not
expect to turn down her own
glass, after the custom Of Mrs.
Cleveland. Those who do not wish
wine, she pointed out, do not have
to drink it. 1t may be left in the
glass or refused without the ges-
ture of turning down a glass.

BLOCS FEARED
IN COMING
CONGRESS
Overwhelming Majority May
Prove Hard for President to
Keep Under Control


Secure in their control of the
Federal Government as no party
has been since reconstruction
days, Democratic leaders began to
lay plans today for the converting
of the Seventy-fourth Congress
early in January.
In that Congress, as result Of
the amazing Democratic sweep of
Tuesday, they will completely
dominate both Senate and House.
They will have either 50 or 70
seats in the Senate out of SO, and
318 to 800 members of the House
out of 435. No party in modern
times ever was so dominant in
Congress.
Hold 80 GOvernOrshipS
In the states, the Democrats are
similarly in the saddle. With few
contests in doubt, they appear to
have 80 of the 48 governorships.
The Democrats lost in some places
they did not expect to lose, as in
Maryland and New Jersey, Tut
they also gained in some places
where they had anticipated set
backs.
The Democrats are tremendously
elated at the results, and nc a
little awed by the responsibility
that such a colossal victory i'm
poses upon them.
May Split Into Blocs
In such a situation, the queS-
ton uppermoSt in most Demo
cratic minds-and in Republican,
too-was: What of the Seventy
fourth Congress? Will 1t be more
radical than the Seventy-third?
Will President Roosevelt be able
to control these unwieldy ma
joritieS? Will the Democrats split
into blocs and groups, as did the
Republicans when they were
heavily in the majority in the
days Of Harding. Coolidge and
Hoover?
The answers can only come
with the converting of the new
Congress.
Strong leadership, it is con-
coded, will be necessary to hold
the dissenters and the wild men"
in check and enforce a party
discipline that will permit of a
cohesive party program. For
that leadership, the Democratic
lieutenants-there are no cap
tains-look unanimously to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
At the Crossroads
AS for the Republicans, they
are reduced to the lowest ebb in
history. They have neither the
numbers nor the party solidarity
to present an effective minority
opposition.
However, the defeat of Senator
Reed in Pennsylvania, of Senator
Fess in Ohio and of Senator
Robinson in Indiana, presents an
opportunity for new Republican
leadership and it is believed that
the more progressive Republicans
left will not be slow in selling it..
Most Of the Republicans left
in the Senate are of the progress
sive type-Borah of Idaho, Norris
Of Nebraska, Nye of North Da-
kota, McNary of Oregon.
In any event, it is apparent
that the Republicans are at the
crossroads, facing the greatest
crisis in party history. They
never have been as badly off,
not even in 1912, the year of the
great schism.
They had leaders left even
then, the Penroses and the Wat
sons and the Aldriches, all strong
men. Now there are no strong
men left.
Only one acknowledged presi-
Dental aspirant came through in
Tuesdays election, Senator Van
denburg in Michigan.

FRENCH CHIEF
CHAMP P|ON Of
TRUE LIBERTY
Declares Safeguarding Of De-
mocracy Rests With U. S.,
England And France.

PARIS, Oct. Premier CASTOR
Doumergue of France. in an ex-
elusive interview today with the
United Press, declared that the
safeguarding of world democracy
is in the hands of three nations
the United States, Great Britain
and France.
Himself engaged in a fight to
preserve the last of the great
strongholds of European democracy,
Premier Doumergue drew a par
allel between his own efforts and
those of President Franklin d.
Roosevelt.
Like Mr.. Roosevelt, Frances
good-humored political peacemaker
is moving to concentrate greater
executive strength in the hands
of the chief or the government
If there is any divergence III the
parallel, it is on the currency
question.
Taking a definite stand as an
advocate of sound gold money, and
against initiation and artificial tam
pering with currencies, and point
ing to his opposition to similarity
of efforts by the French and Ameri-
can governments to find a way
out of the world crisis without
sacrificing the principles Of de-
mocracy which were born Of their
two revolutions, is the basis of
Doumergues appeal Doumergue
declared he is not seeking to set
himself up as dictator when he
asks France to give the prime
minister greater power than that
possessed by any Frenchman since
the last Napoleon. Il am not
dictator" he insisted.
Plans Similar
His plan contains many points
of strong resemblance to the
Roosevelt policies of directing
American political and economic
recovery from Washington as a
central point.
In a series of wireless talks with
the French people, the next of
which will come Thursday night,
he has carried his fight directly
to them. No single French leader
since the days of Bonaparte has
had greater support from the
French peasantry. They trust him
when he declares he has no de-
sire for personal power, but merely
wants the supreme governmental
power concentrated in the hands
of the prime minister.
NJ. Doumergue asks that he be
given power to dissolve the parlia-
ment whenever such action becomes
necessary to check political intri-
que; to place in the hands Of the
government alone, and to remove
from the hands of the parliament,
the right to propose taxation and
expenditure; to curb the spend
ings of the parliament by fore
ing a continuation of the previous
years budget if parliamentary hag-
Cling prevents taking vote at the
proper time.

Principal incentive for selling
was said to be the President s
speech, which was disappointing TO
Wall street Dealings were fairly
active for a time but the pace
slackened after the first hour and
was dull the rest of the day.
Wall street had hoped for clar-
ification in the President IS speech
of many problems standing in the
way of recovery. These included
balanced budget and stable dol

Heaviest losses were those issues
which recently had mace fairly
substantial recoveries. Losses of 3
points or more were noted in such
stocks as Spiegel. May, Stern; U. S.
Smelling, q. S. Steel preferred, and
Du Pont. Among those down 2 to
3 points were Air Reduction. Am
erican Smelling, Atchison. Auburn
Auto Bethlehem Steel, Case, Gel

u. S. Steel common stock met
new selling near the close and ex-
tended an early loss to 2 points at

Rate of operations declined.
U. S. Smelling touched ll2 off
2@s points before meeting meager
support. Others of the group made
corresponding declines.
A sensation IN the afternoon was
a wide open break in the pound
sterling. It dipped to S4.9l75 off
AZ cents from the previous close.
Reports circulated that the pound
was on the road TO its old parity
Of S4.S665 and that no effort would
be made TO stem the decline. At
that level, some believed efforts
would be made to stabilize the unit

Mr.. Roosevelt defended the ex-
penditures of the Public Works
Administration In putting men back
to work.
ITO those who say that our eX-
penditures for public works and
other means for recovery are a
waste that We cannot afford,
answer that no country, however
rich, can afford the waste of its
resources" he said. "Demoraliza
ton caused by unemployment is
our greatest extravaganza.
Morally it is the greatest men
ace to our social order. Some peo-
pie try to tell me that We must
make up our minds that for the
future we shall permanently have
millions of unemployed, just as
other countries have had them for
decade. What may be necessary
for those countries is not my re-
Sponsibility to determine.
But as for this country, stand
or fall by my refusal to accept
as a necessary condition of our

American to remain permanently
