TO SELL PLANE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 5.- The airplane carrying Smith and Taylor is not considered airworthy in the Antipodes. This was revealed by Smith as he announced plans to find an American buyer for the Lady Southern Cross.
 Australian air regulations have proven the ship is inairworthy and I therefore was unable to sell it in Australia Smith said.

Victory Predicted but How Emphatic Endorsement

WASHINGTON, Nov. B. ''The most momentous off-year election" in 80 years rushed to climax to- day with signs pointing to a large victory for the Democrats tomor- row as New Dealers, Antis and Middle Grounders composed their final pleas to thirty million per- sons expected to cast their ball. lots.
 Emphatic Endorsement
 The question in the minds of virtually all experts is not wheth- CT the Democratic Party will emerge triumphant but how em- phatic the endorsement will be.
 The experts see victories in in- dividual states for the Democrats although Republicans have the rosiest of hopes. It is predicted the Democrats will have a two- thirds sway when the gavel falls on January 3.
 One Big Question one big question looms, will the Republicans get enough foothold to make 1t res3 light In 1886.

NORRIS WILL WATCH VOTE
 ON TUESDAY
Senator's S Proposal for One House Legislature Be-
 fore Nebraskans
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. B. That veteran of political campaigns Senator Norris of Nebraska-will have a special interest in what happens tomorrow.
 "Old George" as he is affection ately called on Capitol Hill, will be more interested on this general election day in an issue (his own, incidentally than in candidates for office either in or out of Ne braska.
 The voters of Nebraska will have the opportunity on November 6 of either accepting or rejecting a 'Norrisism" m ore r-reaching than any he yet has proposed
 Norris has induced the Nebras- ka electorate to decide whether it wants to retain sts Js0 t NJ. ! d. neral system of government or make it unicameral.

BOTH PARTIES CoNFIDENT

WAonlNd1ON,N NOV. 0.-ln Seml- final clashes in he political cam paign, both Republican and Demo- cratic National Chairmen last Sat- urday night avowed confidence in the outcome Tuesday A substantial gain in the Senate is predicted by Democratic Na- tional Committee Chairman James A. Farley and a decisive vote en- dorsing the New Deal.
 Henry P. Fletcher, Chairman of the Republican National Commit tee, said the. Republican strength in the Senate will be retained.
 Democratic Gains
 Farley said the Democrats will hold the present House member ship of 309 and possibly make some gains.
 Fletcher predicted the Republi- can House membership of IA will be increased by 50 or 70 members at least.
 Fletcher predicted further the Republicans will win the state elections in all normally Repub- lican territory. Reports To Roosevelt
 Last minute reports made to President Roosevelt named Mary | land, West Virginia, Missouri, New Jersey, Indiana and Ohio as the most likely to return Democrats to the. Senate seats now held by Republicans.
 Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Con- necticut and possibly Vermont are placed next in order. None of these claims are con- ceded by the Republicans. Just Skirmish Chairman Fletcher said the Re- publicans regarded the election as a preliminary skirmish and said the Party fight against the Demo- cratic program will go on.
 Chairman Farley said the ques- tion to be answered tomorrow was whether the country retained faith in President Roosevelt or wants to go back under the old order ssun-, der which we were plunged to the greatest depths of economic de- pression in history"

oNE-HoUsE LEGISLATURE

Stated another way, Norris wants to establish in Nebraska one House Legislature. It's been a dream of his almost from the time he entered public life.
 What Nebraska voters do on November 6 interests the nation because Norris has intimated that if his plan is adopted there he may ask Congress to .reorganize it's Senate and House into a single body.
 It would take a constitutional amendment, approved by two- thirds of the states, to do i, but "Old George" is accustomed to such procedure.
 His lame duck amendment to the constitution was ide-tracked time and again, but finally adopt ed. And his fight to abolish the electoral college has been endorsed by the White House.
 Given encouragement by Nebras- kans on the unicameral idea, Nor ris promises the rest.

TROLLEYS ON
TAFT BRIDGE

street cars will not be allowed
to use the Taft Memorial Bridge,
a Joint board consisting Of the
District Commissioners and the
Public Utilities Commission ruled
today.
Several days ago J. H. Hanna,
president of the Capital Transit
Company, made a formal request
that his, company be allowed to
abandon the line crossing the
Calvert Street bridge, change the
routing, and operate over the
Taft bridge, asserting this would
materially cut down the running
time. -: .
In a letter today denying this
application, the joint board held
that the bridge is not Structurally
constituted for such use. 1t would.
be necessary practically to rebuild
the bridge if street cars were to
be operated across it, engineers
pointed out. .
A storm Of protest was raised
against the proposal, charges be-
ing made that the operation OF
street cars and the erection Of
overhead trolleys would ruin one
of the most beautiful structures
in the city.
The letter from the joint board
was signed by Engineer Commis!

countered by emphatic opposition
before the House Rules Committee
today.
Mrs. Isabella Greenway d. of

Roosevelt, told the committee that
Mrs. Roosevelt was engaged in a
humanitarian effort and should be
supported.
Expressing deep admiration for
Mrs. Roosevelt, Representative
Ludlow CD of Indiana neverthe-
less declared the factory would es-
tablish a precenedt Of far-reach-

sequences.
The committee had before 1t
the request of the Post Office
Committee for a vote on the
Randolph bill to authorize con,
struction of a $650,000 factory at
Reedsville to make equipment

Whether due to complaints on
tie part of tn boys or on the
part of their long suffering public,
there is y notable absence of the
smutty, undercover humor which
has shaded the majority Of their
p"st performances.
Their usual brand Of foolishneSS
and frolic has been enlivened with
a lavish display of feminine curves
and charms, and touched up with
a few musical numbers.
Ruth Etting croons the first
song and then is lost in the
comedy rush. Flu. her musical ef-
forts are left to the comely chorus
and to Mr.. Woosley and Mr.. Lee.
The boys are making a sparse
way in the world with a satchel
full of favored lipsticks until
they meet Miss Frisby. proprietor
of declining beauty shop.
She enliSts the services of these
super statesmen to boom up the
trade. This merger progresses
into the coup d'etat" of the film

detective win the transcontinental
auto race in a flying finish.
