 November 5th FIRST GATHERING OF
 KIND SINCE 1929 Presidential Electors With Unemployment Insur. ance to Be Arranged E

Hartford, Conn, October IA - (UP) = Proclaiming that a "two-fold emergency confronts the State of Con- necticut," Governor Cross to- day summoned the legisla- ture into special session, November 5, at il a. m. The extraordinary session, the first to be ordered since 1929, will act to amend the statute designating the time for the meeting of presidential electors, and will endeavor to enact a social security program to enable the state to participate in federal benefits under an unemployment insurance plan. Alteration of the date of the electors meeting was made neces- sary by passage of the "lame duck" amendment by congress, stipulating that the president be inaugurated in January, rather than in March.

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 14.-(UP)- Presid ent Roosevelt reaf1rmed faith and confidence" today in the ability of the people to meet prob lems of national and international security by "the peaceful process of democratic representative govern ment."
 "No place." the president said, in dedicating a memorial to World war dead, "could be more fitting to re- affirm that faith and confidence than a monument to those who have died in a gallant effort to save de- mocracy for the world"
 Call to Service
 He said that while the hand of the ''good neighbor" was being extended to break down barriers blocking the way to international accord, there also was a call to service at home.
 St. Louis was one of the "key'' cities in MT. Roosevelt's tour through mid-weStern industrial centerS today

'BOSSY' GILLIS
 VERY STUBBORN
Fight With Electric Light Company Has Caused
 Trouble in City Hall

Newburyport, Mass, Oct. IA (UP)-An unpaid janitor smashed furniture and stuffed it into the city hall furnace today to bring some warmth to more than a score of em- ployes deprived of heat by the fiery Mayor Andrew J. (BosSy) Gillis. The red-haired three-time mayor whose political didoes have brought him national notoriety cut the city light and fuel budget from $3,000 to $1,800. Fears that employees and voters registering at city hall would face frigid temperatures were dis pelled temporarily when City Mes senger winthrop P. Davis discov- cred some old furniture in the base- ment. Bossy disapproves of Davis and has appointed another meSsen- ger- -janitor. Neither has been paid since February, the case being be- fore the state supreme court. Street Lights in Danger It was hoped that the Haverhill Electric company would not shut of the street lights. Not only has the appropriation been exhausted, but the bill has not been paid and Bossy has refused to do anything until the city receives a 25 per cent rate reduction.
 To make the situation even more complex, the new budget generally is not made up until March. The city council, almost always at odds with the mayor, has called for coal, oil and gas bids tomorrow. The councillors intend to remedy condi- tions, believing they have the power.
 BoSsy may have something to say about that at his press conference today at a local lunchroom.

 Hendaye, French Spanish Front- fer, Oct. 14-CUP)- Eighteen thous- and men comprising every one of the conglomerate elements in the Spanish war were locked today in a ferocious battle for Oviedo. Two thousand Moors, foreign legion- naires and Galician militiamen sent by the insurgent government to re- lieve the Garrison besieged there have arrived outside the city. They are fighting their way into the town, against 15,000 Asturian min- CTS who, in turn. are seeking to blast path into the last, battered defenseS of the besieged Garrison. numbering now perhaps 1000 of the 2,5o0 crack fighting men who seized the town for the Rebels S9 days ago today.
 Six U. s. Citizens
 In Oviedo among thousands of civilians are six United States cit- izens, according to Q Cuban who escaped yesterday. That their lives may pc spared III the 1lnal 1lgn6 seemed likely. It was announced today that foreigners had been asked to fly the flags of their coun- try over their residences so that they, too, would not be involved in what seemed certain to be mass slaughter.
 Insurgent sources reported yes terday that the city already had been relieved. They found these reports to be premature. But Loy- alists as well as insurgent reports showed that the rebel relief column has arrived and that the climax of the long battle is at hand. The Moorish-Legionnaire column is at the northwest corner of the Su-

was captured first by North Adams police, but Kogan escaped in car reported stolen in Bristol yesterday. Kogan was picked up later.
 The pair will be returned to Wa tertown, where they must now face jail-breaking charges in addition to previous counts against them. Mar ingola was being held on a charge of stealing jewelry worth $2S0 from the home of Robert Turner, while Kogan was charged with a statu- tory offense. Maringola also faces charges in New Britain and Plain- vile.
 Car Reported Stolen
 The car in which. the two youths were allegedly riding was reported stolen yesterday by George Tiiler, of Bristol.
 Maringola and Kogan escaped from the Watertown lookup by burning the window sash in their cell and then loosening the bars from the charred wood.
 Police received no details of the arrest of the pair in North Adams, other than the report that the two were involved in an attempted rob bery. North Adams police first sent a telephone message informing local police of Maringola's capture, and later sent a teletype message aI1- nouncing Kogan's capture.
 WatertOwn authorities were noti- fled by local police of the pairs cap- ture and win claim custody of the youths.

That goes for the state democratic ticket as well as for MT. Roosevelt.
 Iowa prosperity is purely com parative. But by comparing today with the corresponding day in 1882 one obtains 8 show of prosperity which cannot fail to have large ia- fluence in the polling booths.
 MT. Roosevelt carried the state by 183, ,5e6 votes of 100000 cast in 1882. Whether he can hold a lead depends largely upon the effective ness with which republicans are able to present their thesis that Roosevelt prosperity is accom- plished by sleight-of-hand maneuv- CTS which merely are delaying a costly day of reckoning. The state could go either way. <
 Farm Prices Go Up
 There being no official figures for this day, take September 15. On September IS, 1886, Iowa farm prices hit an average of 136 per cent of the pre-war average. That is, the products of Iowa farms were being sold at 36 per cent more than the same quantities brought before the war.
 One year ago, September 15, the index was 128 per cent of pre-war averages. Two years ago 1t was 10l per cent. ssThe low for the pest 20 years was recorded on September

BORDER RCLASH
LAID TO REDS
MEDDL|NG

TOKYO, Feb. 8 UN.S0.
While Continental armies sought
to cover up and restrict to q
local incident" a Soviet border
clash in which II Japanese were
reported killed, the newspaper
Nichi Nichi shocked Tokyo today
with the statement that, in addi'
tion to the Soviets' own stand
ing army of 100000 men, Mos
cows ally, outer Mongolia has
10000 trained fighters.
Dispatches from Hsinking, capt.
tai Of Japan's Manchukuo, said
the clash near Tungning followed
Soviet instigation of a mutlny
among Manchu troops, and the
Nichi Nichi story, also from
Hsinking, said the SovietS were
training and supplying airplaneS
and other equipment to the Mon
gols.
Soviet Officers
Most of the 10000 troops are
garrisoned at Urga (Ulan Bator) +,
the Mongol capital. the newspaper
said, together with two cavalry
regiments - composed Of born
riders-infantry, artillery, engi-
neer and machine gun corps, two
aviation units with 100 airplaneS,
and 1000 motorized units.
Another cavalry regiment, an
aviation corps with 20 planes. and
two armored cars are stationed
at Uktemiao.
These aviation units are under
Soviet command, Chinese source
informed Nichi Nichi. Seventy
per cent Of the personnel In the
motor corps are Russians. The
Urga Military School is allegedly
under Soviet instruction and nu-
merous graduates are sent to Mos
COW for additional instruction.

vision of Virginia into police dis
tricts, enlarging the State police
force and establishment Of several
State-owned police radio broad
casting stations is being advocated
here today by Sen. T. Russell
Gather, Of Winchester.
Senator Gather pointed out that
county officials and many OF the
city police departments are not
equipped, mechanically or finan-
cialy, to fight modern-day crime.
He says division Of the State into
districts, thorough mapping OF
roads and q comprehensive system
Of covering them by well-trained
and well-equipped State police
would be the best form Of crime
prevention.
DepredationS of the tri-State
gang, which held up trucks on
m a n highways between Rich
mond and Petersburg, and the
subsequent escape of Mais and
LegenZa from the Richmond Jail
into Pennsylvania, are cited by
the Senator in advocating his
program.
: At present there are 100 State
policemen, who are assigned to
the various counties. Gov. George
G. Peery has advocated that so
men be added to the force.
