7 PARTIES PLAN
LAST-M|NUTE
CAMPAIGN
IS, 900 Virginia Votes
To Be Cast In II
Precincts

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, Nov. 2.-LeaderS of the two
major political organizations in
Arlington and Alexandria today
were laying final plans in their
bids for the $4,000 votes that are
expected to be cast in the II pre-
cinctS of Arlington and the six
wards of Alexandria tomorrow.
Besides the bitterly contested
fight being waged between the
two presidential candidates, voters
in Northern Virginia also will vote
on q candidate for the United
States House of Representatives
from the Eighth Virginia district.
while the opposition to Senator
Carter Glass is considered negSi-
gible.
A victory procession will be
staged in Alexandria tonight by
the Democrats, while a similar
celebration by the Arlington Dem
ocratS was held last Friday.
TOrchlight Parade
Sponsored under the joint aus
pieces of the Young Democratic
Club of Alexandria and the City
Democratic Committee, the torch
light parade tonight is scheduled
to wind it's way through virtually
every street in the city in an
eleventh-hour effort to bring out
the voters.
While the route of the parade
has not been announced, its for
nation will be at the foot Of King
Street, opposite the Old Dominion
Boat Club. City officials are also
expected to participate in the
parade, in addition to several civic
organizations.
Alexandria politicians are count
ing on more than $500 of the
$500 qualified voters marking
their ballots before tomorrow's
sunset.
With it's total number of quail
fled voters estimated at approx
mately $500, Arlington county
political workers are counting on
one of the heaviest votes ever re-
corded here, with some workers
setting the figures at approx
mately 5000.
Leaders of the campaign head
quarters in both Arlington and
Alexandria have announced that
transportation would be furnished
anyone desiring to vote but who
had no way of getting to the polls.
81 on Ballot
The official ballot in the Eighth
District of Virginia, which COM
prises Is counties in the Northern
end Of the State and the cities OF
Alexandria and Charlottesville,
will be 80 inches in length and will
carry 81 names. The majority OF
these names, however, are those OF
the electors, while the actual Of
fees named on the ballots are lin
tied to three, with seven candi-
dates seeking the Presidency,
three United States Senatorship,
and another three the seat in the
lower House of Congress.
Since Senator Glass opposition
is not being taken seriously, the
Democratic cry is vote for "Roose-
velt-G Garner and Smith," the latter
being the Democratic incumbent
in the House of Representatives.
Republicans, also anxious to
make the voting as simple as posi-
BILE, are urging only the vote for
Landon-Knox and Green. entirely
ignoring the senatorial race, as
are the Democrats. Green is the
G. o. P. standard bearer for the
seat now held by Representative
Howard w. Smith.

The New Deal In POmerania

The New Deal In POmeranla
The New Deal brought con-
fusion and peril on Saturday
into the neighborhood of East
Sixty-seventh Street where the
town houses of Mr.. Franklin D.
Roosevelt and his mother, Mrs.
James Roosevelt, stand side by
side between Fifth Avenue and
Madison Avenue.
Not only was the square blocked
off to traffic but the sidewalks
were cluttered with, so it seemed,
thousands of bluecoats. A mob
J Of motorcycles sputtered. Escorts
of various Roosevelts cut through
the elegance with blast of sirens.
And footmen out walking the
madam'S dogs and Scotties
clutched braces of pomeranianS to
their double breasted chests in
horror as the New Deal calvacades
Zizzed by.
About seven o'clock Saturday
night one uneScorted taxi hurried
up to the senior Roosevelt mansion.
Out jumped Mrs. Roosevelt and
two women friends. They ran UP
the steps and into the house and
out again in less time than it
takes to powder your nose.

flashed on another Roosevelt
group. Lighted up the corsage oil

Il, HAPPY
OVER RETURN
TO SCHOOL
Lois Kemp Becomes
Student at Gordon
Junior High

Happy over her return to public
school after being privately tutored
since the beginning of the term,
Lois Kemp, II, who for the last
few weeks has been the center Of
the Ballou versus Kemp case, to-
day settled down to her studies in
Gordon Junior High.
Accompanied by her mother,
Mrs. John S. Kemp, wife Of WPA
official living in Clarendon, Va,
Lois was enrolled as a student until
the end of the term when, it IS
hoped, the Court Of Appeals will
have decided she may continue in
the District schools though she
lives in Virginia.
Reach Agreement
If, however, the court does not
uphold a recent decision by JUS
tice Oscar r. Luhring, of the
United States District Court, IN
which he ordered the superintend-
ent of schools to admit the child
to Gordon Junior High, she must
finish her schooling in Virginia.
This was agreed to in writing by
her father today after the Board
of Education, in a poll taken Sat
urday night, ruled that she might
attend school slntil January 80,
1897. ?
Lois, an attractive child with
soft pale gold hair and blue eyes,
is taking mathematics, English,
science, geography, and gym. She
was graduated from Fillmore
School in June and when she ap-
piled for adnittance to Gordon
Junior High was refused by the
school superintendent on the
grounds she was a resident Of Vir-
ginia and that the schools were
already overcrowded.
Principal Glad
F.. A. woodward, principal of
Gordon Junior High, said he was
glad to have Lois as a pupil. Her
two older sisters, Audrey and
Dorothy, now attending Western
High, were former pupils at Cor
don, he said, adding:
"This has been a difficult sit
uatiOn. The Kemps have been
fine over this matter and / am
glad to have Lois as a pupil
You know had her sisters
here.
However, we are over
crowded. Our building calls for
1,14S pupils and we are taking
care of 1,341. Last year SO
children from Virginia applied
for admission here and were
refused. / expect we'll probably
get applications from now on.
OF course, we will have to admit
them. We are glad to do so, un-
derStand, but the lack of room
worries u.s."

IN HOSPITAL

Under treatment at Mt. Alto
Hospital today following his col
lapse as he left police court in
Alexandria Saturday night, E.
Claude Babcock, former president
of the American Federation Of
Government employees, was re-
ported in a satisfactory" condi-
ton by hospital officials.
Mr.. Babcock was granted a
weeks delay of hearing on charges
of driving while drunk and leav-
ing the scene Of an accident by
United States Commissioner John
Barton Phillips, in Alexandria.
The charges arose out of an
alleged 85-mile an hour police
chase, during which Mr.. Babcock's
car was said to have SideSwiped
another car. He was released
under $500 bond, and collapsed as
he was leaving the Alexandria jail.

Hospital and treated for a heart
condition, aggravated by wartime
injuries, and later transferred to

PEACE PLAN
OF Il DUCE

BERLIN, Oct. 20 Q.N.S0.-With
isolation of Soviet Russia the key.
note, a new alignment of Euro
pean nations was believed in the
making today as Count Galeazzo
Ciano, foreign minister Of Italy,
reached Germany for a series OF
conferences with Chancellor Hit
Ter.
AS spokesman for Premier Mus,
Solini, his father-in-law, Ciano IS
expected to suggest to Hitler re
vival Of II Duce's cherished -four
power peace plan" on the basis OF
a revised Locarno Pact.
Opinion in official quarters was
reserved concerning the aims OF
Ciano'S visit, but one spokesman
said:
1--WE are wide open to what
ever suggestions may be made"
Definite conclusions, according
to informed circles, will not be
reached at the present conferences,
as the talks are aimed primarily at
a Survey of the whole European
political horizon"
The neutrality announcement OF
King Leopold, of Belgium, as well
as Danubian problems will be dis
cuSsed. The outlook, it was said,
embraces the possibility of "Set-
Ting all problems in these sectors
as regards Italy and Germany.

For Peace OF Hitler

ROME, Oct. 20 G.N.SJ-Count
Galeazzo Ciano, Italian foreign
minister who is in Berlin today
to see Reichsfuehrer Hitler, Is pre-
senting a definite peace plan" on
behalf of his father-in-law, Premier
Mussolini, it was learned.
Details of the Italian plan to
forestall a new European outbreak
are being kept secret, but it was
limited that a four-power security
pact embracing Germany, Italy,
France and Britain may be sug-
gested.
Aid Against Soviet
Count Ciano will also promise
Italy's military support for Ger
many, it was said. in the event Of
a Soviet threat growing out Of
Moscow's anticipated withdrawal
from the Spanish nonintervention
agreement.
Revival of the peace pact among
Italy, Germany, France and Eng
land is seen in italian quarters as
the only possible remedy to cure
Europe'S war fevers.

Sherman-a sturdy little boy
about three years old-laughed
and played in a Baltimore board
ing home for children today while
Maryland and District authorities
started a search for his mother,
a widow who gave birth to another
child in a hospital here last
month.
The little fellow was abandoned
yesterday at a house adjoining the
Maryland Society for Protection of
Children headquarters in Balti-
more. 1t was believed the man
who left him mistook the house
for the society's building.

MOTHER SOUGHT HERE

With Sherman was left a bundle
of clothing and on this it was ex.
planned that the mother had not
returned from the hospital.
The man who abandoned the
baby explained that he was not the
father of the child, but that Sher-
man had grown so fond of him
that he called him Daddy"
Social workers here believe the
mother of Sherman may be a
woman who gave birth to a baby
last month, registered under an
assumed name and refused to give
any information about her past.

COMMUNISTS
NOT WANTED
INU.C. 5. F.

E. Claude Babcock, president If
the United Civil Service Employees,
today warned Communists they
will not be tolerated within the
new organization.
Writing in the second issue of
the U. c. S. E. newspaper, Merit, ="
scheduled for distribution tomor-
row to hundreds of members, Bah
cock said he does not believe in
red batting" or red scares," and
will welcome liberal thought and
progressive opinion among mem
bership. He denied that the Com
muniSt Party is a political body,
however, saying:
Communists will not find
friends in the U. C. S. E. 1t is
not believed to be partiSanship
to oppose Communists who de-
sire to change the American
form of Government.
DON'T WANT COMMUNISTS
"The U. C. S. E. is composed
only of American citizens who
believe in the American form
Of Government and in American
ideals. AS Civil Service workers
for the Government, we don't
want any Communists at our
gatherings.
81 do not see how a COmmun.
list can be a paid servant of the
Government, because he must
either break his COmmuniStic
vows or his pledge to the Con-
gtitutiOn of the United States
Of America. His very employ
ment by the Government after
his oath of office makes him a
perjurer."
Babcock declared it would be
difficult to find Communist
among Civil Service employees Of
the Government. but urged mem
bers Of his organization to report
any admitted radicals to their
guperiors as their duty as citi-
zens. 1T is an obligation as a
citizen Of the United States" he
added.
He made no reference to emer-
gency employees of the New Deal
in his attack on radicalism, but
observed:
whenever government
does not merit support by the
citizens it should fall, as was
stated in the Declaration of In
dependence; but it should not
fall at the hands Of aliens,
Alien-minded, miseducated iIlu-
siOnists or at the hands of its
own servants"
