RESULTS ELATE
PRESIDENT

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. Z
G.N.SO.-Tired, but supremely
happy, President Roosevelt re-
NAMED silent within his COM
Portable home on the Hudson
River here today, and watched
late returns roll in to reveal the
most sweeping Democratic vic
tory in decades.
Only members of the Presi-
dents family heard the Execu-
tive'S naturally jubilant COM
ments upon the results of the
most important test of the New
Deal in the regard of the people.
Mr.. Roosevelt was awake early
and while still in bed scanned
the newspapers showing startling
Democratic gains in hitherto Re-
publican strongholdS.
The President was up until far
past midnight listening to election
returns. Apparently the most in
tense interest in unofficial White
House circles centered in the
promising Democratic prospects in
the additionally Republican State
of Pennsylvania. Today, the Pres
ident paid especial attention to
results coming in from California,
where the Socialist Upton Sinclair
was running behind Governor
Merriam for the State executive
post.

Despite the tremendous Dem.
ocratic victory throughout the
ration, Representative Clarence J.
Mcleod. of Michigan. a Republi-
can, was returned to office by a
large majority, a count showed
today. With only five scattered
precincts unreported, Mr.. Mcleod

4 ELIGIBLE TO
RETIRE FROM
HIGHEST COURT
None Expected to Resign,
However, During Reign
of Roosevelt.
BY s. III. BURROW,
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, April 20. -Four
OF the nine justices of the United
States supreme court are eligible for
retirement. But the chances are
that none will quit of his own free
wil-unless i'll health is the cause
while we're going through the
Roosevelt revolution"
Too much is at stake. and things
are too interesting.
One of the four who might retire
is liberal. the other three are con-
serVatives. Replacement of the lib
eral with conservative would upset
the present alignment of the whole
court. 1t might even upset the re-
covery program. Replacement of a
conservative with a liberal might
end those flve-to-four decisions by
which two phases of the program
recently Squeaked through.
Can Retire at 20
The law provides that when a
supreme court justice has served ten
years and is 70 years of age he is
eligible to retire. He doesn't have
to quit unless he wants to.
The four now eligible for retire
ment are Justices Brandeis. Van
Deyanter, McReynolds and Suther-
land.
Chief Justice Hughes is the fifth
member past 10 years of age, but he
hasn't served ten years yet.
Here is how the court was divided
IN the Minnesota mortgage and
New York milk cases.
UNFOLDING these laws in decisions
which were interpreted as also up
holding the Roosevelt emergency
legislation were Hughes, Brandeis
Stone, Roberts and Cardoza.
Denying the validity of the laws
were Van Devanter, McReynolds
Sutherland and Butler.
Silence Gives Dissent
Ihere have been recurrent rumOrs
that Justices McReynolds, Van De-
vanter and Brandies would retire.
but just as often as these reports
recur they are denied by complete
silence from the men involved.

BOARD SAYS

Employment, hours and earn

October over September, the Ma
&ional Industrial Conference Board
reports.
The number of workers en-
ployed in Is manufacturing in
dustries was is per cent higher

Employment in the textile indus
tries was exceptionally low in Sep

Employment in the automobile
industry, however, showed a drop
from September to october. Total
man hours worked increased 3.5
per cent, and total pay roll dis
burSements 4 per cent.
Average hourly earnings were
up slightly, being 59.S cents in
october, against SOL cents in Sep
tember. An increase of 81 per
cent in the average work-Week,
from 1873 to "a hours, caused

In addition, slight decrease in
the cost of living brought real
weekly earnings to level 2.8 per
cent above September.

WORK LOWER

NEW YORK, Dec. 3 G.N.SD.
Cotton futures continued reaction
ary today, with selling particularly
heavy on more distant options.
The general undertone of the
market, however, was fairly steady.
Domestic trade sources made mod
crate purchases on a scaledown
and partially absorbed the liquida-
ton from New Orleans and the
South. Spot firms and local oper-
atorS were sellers during the fore
noon. Liverpool and the continent
we're in the ring for occasional lots
of cotton.
With Liverpool equivalents six
points higher to three lower as
compared to due prices, the local
list presented an irregular front
on the call. December, January
and March were unchanged to two
points higher, while May, July and
October were unchanged to three
points lower. Perhistent selling
after the opening turned all
months below the previous close.
Midday quotations were off one
to five points, with December off
/ at 12.45, March off at 1857,
May off 2 at 1887, July off 2 at
12.49, and October off at 1919.
