The Roosevelt Administration
will be forced to seek another
1000 million dollars from Con-

talk of budget slasheS, Representa-
tive Vito Marcantonio, Republican
inSurgent of New York, predicted
here today.
There is no doubt but that
there will have to be another

tion." said Marcantonio.
Direct relief cannot be dis
pensed with and work relief must
be continued and expanded. AS
Suning that President Roosevelt
reaches the goal of 100000 on
work relief, there will still be
100000 relief cases which the
States and cities cannot carry"
Marcantonio charged that the
Administration is "chiseling" on
relief in an effort to prove that
prosperity has returned.
THE New Deal has fallen into
the same Psychological error of
the Hoover Administration" he
said. Hoover said prosperity was
just around the corner, and the
President says recovery is here.
"They are trying to build up a
statistical position to support the
statement, and the best way they
can do it is to cut down on relief"

Mr.. Ickes had threatened to

Defeats Are Forecast
For Democrats In
Three States

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. S
G.N.S0.-Democratic gloom was
draped officially all around Presi-
dent Roosevelt's family home here
concerning the results of today's
off-year elections.
Close friends predicted Demo.
cratic Setbacks in New York State
where the Gins" are fighting
desperately to retain their in
finitesimal majority in the
Assembly; in Kentucky where
there is a party split, and in
Philadelphia where the Roosevelt
forces are trying to elect a mayor.
Past Records Cited
Denying any intention Of pro-
ducing advance alibis, these pres
idential friends went to the rec
ord books to prove that the odds
were all in favor of the Repub-
licans at these three points.
Further. they undertook to
demonstrate on the basis Of past
performances that G. o. P. vic
tories should be accepted as a
matter Of course rather than as
a slap at the Roosevelt Admins
tration.
Here in New York, it was
asserted, the odds should be "a
to / that the Republicans re-
gain their normal control Of the
lower house at Albany. These
odds were arrived at on the
premise that the Democrats have
been able to do the job only once
in "a years. They won in 1912,
the year AL Smith was elected
speaker, and they never got a
look-in again until last year.

Lieut.. Gov. A. B. Happy" Chan

governorShip.
The Roosevelt intimates shake
their heads dolefully, however,
over the outcome, and point out
that Gov. Ruby Laffoon, the out
going executive, has jumped the
party and is urging Chambers
defeat.
AS for Philadelphia, those close
to the Hyde Park mansion simply
say it isn't in the cards for
Democrat to carry that rock
ribbed Republican city.
John B. Kelly, internationally
known oarSman, is expected to
pick up a Sizeable vote for the
Quaker City mayoralty, but the
analysts who have gone over the

they can't see him as a winner.
