PRELATE

More than 1000 clergymen and
laymen gathered at the Mayflower
Hotel last night to pay tribute to
the Most Rev. Michael ]. Curley,
Archbishop of Baltimore. for his
help in establishing a new retreat
for laymen at ManreSa-on-the-
Severn.
The Archbishop pointed out the
advantages which flow from
prayer and meditation on things
worth while" in a retreat, and de-
clared that religion has made
great strides forward in the de-
preston years.
The bad years were really good
years, he said, for millions of per-
sons turned their thoughts to the
church, with a result that the de-
preston period showed great
gain in converts.
The Rev. Robert S. Lloyd. S. j.,
former headmaSter of Georgetown
Preparatory School who is now
director of the retreat. thanked
the Archbishop for his great and
courageous help" Leo A. Codd

Launching a drive for a perma'
nent agriculture policy to replace
the AAA, the chairman Of the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
Senator Smith Cd of South
Carolina, today called on the farm
leaders Of the Nation for ideas.
Senator Smith personally favors
the setting up of separate bank

willing to listen to the suggestions
of others. For this reason, heads
of the various farm organizations
of the country were called to ap'
pear before his committee today.
He said:
1--WE are through with this So
called StOp-gap legislation for
agriculture. Now that the AAA
has been deStrc ed by the Su-

at this session Of Congress, an

RADICALS OUT
FOR LAVAL
SCALP
By MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, Jan. IA U.N.S0.-Radi-
cal elements in the Chamber Of
Deputies went cunning today for
the official life Of Premier Pierre
Laval to cut short his attempts
to find a solution Of the Ethio-
plan question satisfactory to
Italy.
His majority already pruned
to slim 20, Laval will face at
least one test early in the session
of the chamber that begins today,
but he may be able to survive
to represent France at the i'm
portant meeting of the League Of
Nations council in Geneva Mon
day.
May Await Elections
The Radical-SocialistS, who
WELD the balance of power in
the chamber, are not yet ready
to take over control of the gov
ernment, so they may permit
Laval to stay in the premiership
until after the April elections.
At Geneva the question Of an
oil embargo and other additional
sanctions against italy is due to
come up, but Laval, if he survives
in parliament, is expected to try
for q poStponement while League
commission investigates the Ethio-
plan situation on the spot.
Such q proposal, involving q
truce during the investigation,
was supposedly discussed yester-
day between Laval and Vittorio
Cerruti, the Italian ambassador.
Cerruti, it was authoritatively
stated, however, took no definite
stand, and made no promises,
while italian circles continued to
emphasize that Rome had made
no peace moves.
Wants Broad Study
Laval, who barely escaped with
his office after fathering the plan
to give half of Ethiopia to Italy,
still insists that the commission,
II appointed, must study all the
broad issues of the Ethiopian
problem brought up by Italy, in
cluding boundaries, slavery and
the alleged insecurity Of the
Italian colonies.
Ethiopia is represented here as
being rather unfavorable to "he
commission suggestion, fearing
that If representatives of the
powers were sent in, Ethiopia's
sovereignty would be endangered
and she could never shake off

DEMOCRATIC SWEEP
LOOMS IN KENTUCKY
Roosevelt, Logan as Well as Eight
Representatives, Destined
to Win Tuesday.
BY HARRY BLOOM,

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 31.-A
campaign remarkable for the dol
drums, chiefly because the outcome
has been discounted for months. finds
Kentucky again headed for the Demo-
cratic column Tuesday. The State
used to be regarded as debatable in
presidential years; at least, it was
not beneath notice of party leaders
as q battle-ground, but Of late its
swings have been so violent in one
direction or the other that the voters
trend became easily discernible long
before the polling date.
It Is at least 10-1 that President
Roosevelt viii carry Kentucky; that
Senator M. M. Logan will retain his
post against the opposition Of Rob-
ert H. Lucas, Republican, Of Louis
vile and Washington, and that eight
Of the States nine Representatives will
be Democratic. the lone Republican to
be Representative John M. Robson,
Barbourville.
The chief concern of the politicians
is the size of the Roosevelt plurality.
Republicans are under no illusions
about the situation. Privately, one
of their outstanding leaders admitted
loss of the State by q majority Of
5000.
The Democratic registration mar
gin Is in the neighborhood Of 10000.

TRENTON, October 31.-Gov. Lam
don is favored to win New Jerseys 16
electoral votes Tuesday in a close cleo
ton.
The Democrats have made steady
gains in the State in the last three
weeks, but the consensus of politicians
in both parties is the Republicans have
a slight advantage.
When Republicans have won in the
past it has been by decisive margins. the
highest being. 100000 for Hoover in
1928. Today many Of the leading Re-
publicans in the campaign say pri-
vately they expect to win by $4,000.
but will be satisfied with any margin.
The heavy New York commuter vote
in North jersey. which goes to the
polls only in presidential elections and
is additionally Republican, Is ex-
pected to produce the margin Of victory
for the Republicans. There is strong
anti-Roosevelt sentiment in this group
and none of the New Deal program
has succeeded in breaking it down.
Hague Claims $4,000 Margin.
Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City,
Democratic State leader. predicts that
President Roosevelt will carry the
State by $4,000. He bases this predic-
ton on the fact that Hebrew, Italian,
Negro and organized labor voters are
unquestionably supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket, whereas in the past these
elements have been largely Republican.
Admitting these Democratic gains,
Republicans believe they will be offset
by thousands of Republicans returning
to their party this year after voting for
Roosevelt in 1882. Repeal Of prohibi-
ton was a big issue in this wet State
four year ago and Hoover lost thou
sands of Republican voters who were
dissatisfied with his prohibition stand.
The reason the election will be close
is that the Democrats will pile up a
tremendous plurality in Mayor Hague's
Hudson County stronghold. probably
exceeding 10000. In addition, the
Democrats have gained considerably
in Camden and Atlantic Counties,
sections that normally have produced
heavy Republican pluralities. Politi-
clans agree that more split tickets will

ROBINSON PREDICTS
DEMOCRAT VICTORY
Arkansas Campaign Concluded.
Republicans to Continue
Through Tomorrow.
BY THOMAS J. BRANsFORD.

special correspondent Of The Star.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. October 81
With Senator Joe T. Robinson, major
ity leader in the Senate, predicting
victory for the Democrats, Arkansas
Democrats wound up their campaign.
They were not alone in their predic-
lions of victory. Republicans will not
finish their campaign until Monday
night, and it has been the most Wig
orous campaign waged by the Repub-
licans in Arkansas in the last thrae
generations.
Senator Robinson returned home
after making campaign tour In be-
half of the national Democratic ticket,
which took him to seven States.
Wallace Townsend, Republican ma
tional committeeman from Arkansas,
announced that additional campaign
contributions from Arkansas were
sought by c. B. Goodspeed of Chicago,
national committee treasurer.
The Democrats, after having the
State quota raised from $4,000 to
$4,000 by James A. Farley, chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, received appeals from Farley to
disregard quotas and give all addi-
tional assistance possible.

Many Republican storekeepers and
small business men. for instance, will
vote for Roosevelt because they are
making more money than ever before,
but they will vote Republican the rest
Of the way. On the other hand thou
sands. of Democrats, dissatisfied with
Roosevelt's program. will vote for Lam
don, but support Democratic local can
didates.
All registration records have been
broken and the State seems certain to
cast a record vote. In 1928 81 per
cent Of the registered voters went to
the polls and 80 per cent four years
ago. 1t would be no surprise to lead
ers Of both parties to see 80 per cent
of the registration voted this year.
Roosevelt Has Chance.
President Roosevelt has a chance to
carry the State on the relief vote, w.
P. A. jobs and support of low-income
groups. If the weather is good and
the North Jersey commuter vote turns
out, the Republicans must be favored.
The Democrats have the superior Or
ganization, but the Republican
strength will come from the voters who
do not have to be brought to the polls
and cannot be Influenced by organ
ization methods.
United States. Senator w. Warren
Barbour, Republican, appears certain
OF reelection. His chances of beat
ing William H. Smathers, Democratic
nominee, are rated better, for instance,
than Landon has of winning.
The Republicans have a chance to
gain one and possibly two congress
sional seats. There are now 10 Re-
publican Representatives and 4 Dem
ocrats. In the third district Albert
B. Hermann. executive clerk to Gov.
Harold g.. Hoffman. appears to have
a slight lead over Representative Will
liam H. Sutphin, Democrat. If the
heavy Bergen Republican vote comes
out, Lawrence A. Cavinato, present
Republican floor leader in the Assem-
bly,, has a chance to beat Representa-
tive Edward Kenney, sponsor of the
national lottery bill.
Most of the 10 Republican districts
now are likely to vote Republican
again.
