531 ELECTORS
VOTE TODAY

Today, President Roosevelt will
be reelected.
Although the 531 electors, named
by the people on November 3, will
cast their ballots today, the result
is a foregone conclusion.
And, although the count is
almost certain to be 523 for
Roosevelt and 8 for Landon, the
electors, meeting in their reSpec-
tive State capitals. are not bound
to make the indicated choice. They
might upset the apple cart and
select any person they desire.
Only once in history has an
elector voted contrary to his in
struction by the people. In 1920,
every State in the Union went to
President Monroe, for a second
term. A New England elector, al
though a Monroe adherent, voted
against him in the electoral col
lege because he felt that George
Washington should be the only
man ever to receive a unanimous
vote for President.

RENEWED FIGHT

BY POPE

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 14.-Pope
Plus passed a quiet day yesterday.
He arose at 7 a. m, listened to
mass in his private chapel and re-
manned for several hours in his
wheel chair, reading.
The Holy Father was reported
as studying with satisfaction re-
ports of the progress Of a world
wide anti-communistic campaign
being developed by the church
through the clergy and lay mem
bers of the Catholic Action Society.
Reports are coming to the Vat
lean daily of efforts in all nations
to offset the spread Of Moscovite
propaganda, as directed by the
Pope in launching his campaign a
few weeks ago. A high official Of
the church said:
"These documents are an el0-
quent response to the admOni-
lions and appeals which the
Holy Father, with great earnest
ness, has launched to the world,
pointing out that Communism
was the gravest and most threat
ening peril of our times.
This response Is precisely
what has been always the inten-
ton Of the Pope and the execu-
tiers of his instructions, such as
the sacred congregation Of ex-
traOrdinary ecclesiastical af-
fairs"
Plans for the formation Of q
special universal organization to
combat Communism are under
consideration, it was revealed.
Under the present proposal this
would be based on Pro Dec COM

olics and Professionals, such as
exist in many European countries

Significant in word dropped in Dip

With approval of the three nations

Inspectors Say Drought Has
Not CurtaiIed the Output.
Rutland Begins Probe.

Declarations the drought had not

gion to an extent warranting any hike
in the retail price of milk were made
today by District health inspectors as
Health Officer George C. Rutland be-
gan a study of milk regulations to de-
termine If they should be revised.
Stories of the effect of the drought
curtailing milk production had been
offered recently as reason for a
threatened boost in the retail price of
milk in the District.
These statements were heard at the
time officials OF the Agriculture De-
partment were conducting hearings on
the proposed adoption Of milk-mar-
keting agreement for the Washington
milk shed. under which an admins
traitor would be appointed to regulate
prices In the milk industry.
Health Department inspectors,
whose business it Is to check reports
OF conditions in the production as
well as distribution of milk, reported
they had not found a shortage In sup
ply Of an extent which should cause
boost in prices.

nounced he would confer tomorrow
morning with representatives of eight
District milk distributors. This was
the first step he Is taking, under di-
rection Of the Commissioners, to re-
view the existing regulations to
determine II they are drastic or un-
reasonable" or tend in any way to
maintain a high price for milk. DR..
Rutland was asked to recommend
changes II he finds present rules are
unreasonable. as some parties have
contended.
The health officer said he would
confer with representatives Of milk
producers at some later date before
submitting his report to the Commis-
sioners.

DR.. Rutland said his studies so far
show there are no radical differences
on fundamental between the District
milk regulations and these incorpo-

by the United States Public Health
Service.
''Under our present regulations, we
have obtained for Washington a milk
supply of high quality. and we do not
want to lose that" said the health
officer However, We may find there
are other good things which we might
adopt. do not propose to be so rigid
on the subject as to suggest changes

without depriving Washington of our
present assurance of milk supply of

VIEWS ON LANDON
Cabinet Member Expected to Dis

Secretary of the Interior Ickes will

He will speak over a national net
work Of the Columbia Broadcasting

Tonight's political speech is ac-
tually Ickes' initial contribution to the
presidential campaign as, unlike his
recent speech at Charlottesville, Va,
he is speaking strictly under New
Deal auspices. While Postmaster
General Farley and others have at
tackled the Republican presidential
nominee in public statements, Ickes
Is the first cabinet officer to speak for

opening Of the campaign.
Previously Ickes had announced
he would "philosophize" on Landon

In 1888 when the oil industry was
N bad shape, Gov. Landon came to
Washington with other Governors to
olicit Government aid. As a result,
he Government took control OF the
bil industry and Ickes was created
petroleum administrator. Recently
Fhe Supreme Court held that Federal
control Of oil production was q vio-

Landon had much to say in 1888
about the need Of Government regu-

eial stenographers and filed away with
the expressed views of other Goy-
ernors.
