Gains 2 Pounds

She isn't due to be born for about
two weeks, but she has surprised doc
tors at Providence Hospital by living
for IL weeks now and gaining pounds
under special care.
She is Jean Frances HALEY, whose
father carried her in a shoe box to
the hospital on August 13, an hour
after she entered this world three
months ahead of schedule.
Doctors then shook their heads over
the 2 pound 6 ounce infant and gave
her only l chance in 10000 to live.
But special feeding, three blood trans
fusions from her father, Edward Hal
ley Of Silver Spring, Md, and an elec-
trically heated crib have kept her alive
and gaining weight.
AS she passed the 4-pound 6-ounce
weight mark today Baby Jean looked
like almost any healthy youngster, and
doctors said she was almost out of
danger.

ECCLESSUMMONED.
FOR FISCAL TALKS.
Called to Hyde Park for Con-
ference on Budget and
Related Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. Mar
riner S. Eccles. head of the Federal
Reserve System, was added to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's list of conferees today
on budgetary and related problems.
Eccles. one of the Presidents closest
contacts with business and finance,
was called to Hyde Park from WASH
ingten to confer with the Chief Exec
utive in connection with visit here
by Treasury Secretary Morgenthau and
Daniel w. Bell, the budget director.
Morgenthau and Bell came to the
seclusion Of the Roosevelt study to
resume work on the budget begun dur
ing the Presidents brief stay in Wash
ington week before last.
Eccles brought to the budget talks a
knowledge Of current business condi-
tions, including the stock market situ-
alton. His engagement was his first
with the President since the Federal
Reserve Board ordered stock ex.
change requirements reduced from IS
to 40 per cent and fixed, for the first
time. minimum requirements for short
selling. at so per cent. The new re-
quirements are effective today.
The close relation of earnings of
taxpayers to Government income made
the general business situation i'm
portant to Mr.. Roosevelts talks. Taxes
must yield expected revenues II the
Treasurys books are to be balanced
as the President says he hopes and
expects during the fiscal year that
begins next July /.
An immediate problem before the
President and his budget advisers was
financing proposed loan on corn
| to help farmers hold their corn past
the present period of low prices. Nor
genthau and Agriculture Secretary
Wallace have been studying possible
| means OF financing that Government
aid program without increasing the
Treasury deficit beyond the last esti-
mate of $685. 100000.
The corn loan-leading farm or
| ganizations are asking 60 cents q
bushel-would operate similarly tc
the 9-cent loan and 3-cent subsidy
program for cotton.
Morgenthau, Bell and Eccles were
all White House callers during the
Presidents few days in Washington
before he came here on a To-day visit
Other conferences with them are ex-
pected when Mr.. Roosevelt returns te
the Capital the middle of this week
He is expected to start back to the
White House within "a hours after

in Election.
BY the Associated Press.

municipal election campaign closed
today with every indication that to-
morrow's vote would exceed by more
than 100000 that of any other in the
city's history.

day, but observers said 100000 voters
might reach the polls anyway.

it was sure sign of an extraordinarily
large vote.
For q strictly municipal election
such as this one Detroit's record vote
was 263,7l3, cast in 1881 when Frank
Murphy. now the Governor Of Mich
igan, was reelected Mayor.
Patrick H. OBrien, candidate for
Mayor sponsored by the Committee
for Industrial Organization, was in
dorsed Sunday by Bishop Edgar Blake
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
who said he spoke not as the head of
his church In Michigan, but as a
citizen.
Bishop Blake, speaking at political
rally, said the major issue of the non-
partisan election was the laboring
mans right to representation in the
citys affairs"
ITO deny labor this right" said the
bishop. ''is to deny every democratic
principle on which this Nation was
founded"
Richard w. Reading, so-called con-
servative candidate for Mayor, said in
a radio address that he had been made
the victim of "dastardly last minute
attack" In being called a member of
the Ku Klux Klan. Reading denied
the charge.
Minor violence was investigated by
police. Property damage and assaults
upon campaign workers were reported.
Gov. Murphy returned Saturday
from a two-week vacation in West
Virginia and reiterated his belief the
States chief executive should not par
tlcipate in a nonpartisan election. He
said he would take no part in the
election except to cast his own vote.
