BRITISH BOMBING
 PLANES VICTORS
Continued from Page D

The third plane proceeded on to Port Darwin and landed here at TAO a. m. Greenwich Mean time (2:40 a. m. EST0.
 The record which they bettered was made by three Russian flyers. Mikhail Gromov, Andrei Youmachev and Sergei Daniline in flight of 6,296 miles from Moscow to San Ja- cinto, Calif., July 13-15, 1887.
 The planes were Vickers- Wellesley long distance bombers. They flew from England and took of at Ismai- lia Airdrome, Cairo, at 3:55 a. m. Greenwich Mean time Saturday for Port Darwin. British warships were stationed in the Gulf or Arabia, the Bay of Bengal and the Timor Sea to maintain wireless contact with them.
 Members of the crew of the planes which arrived here were unaffected by the rigors of their flight, though their faces were burned by wind and their eyes bloodshot because of lack of sleep.
 "It was a wonderful flight. We never felt better" they said.
 To show that they were not ex- hausted. they inspected and over- hauled their planes as soon as they had landed, and supervised refuel- ing.

Ward had been sucked down into the dark sea. She had thought crazy, whirling things. Tried to picture it. The cries. The men in the water. The great, proud Akron crippled and breaking up. For months she had been inconsolable, so that her father had to send her away to the country while she got a hold on herself. And she had hated him, too. "If you had let me mar " Ward, I'd have been his wife, even if only for little while!"
 sA
 It was over, now. But the mem- ory was always like a knife in her heart. Little by little, she had be- come more friendly with Jack. He had been Wards friend. He had gone through that night of horror with Ward. And he, like Ward, had a faith in dirigibles that was brave and unconquerable. He was a pilot, Jack. His airplane had been shelter tered in the hull of the huge Akron, and released to fly miles ahead, on scouting duty. Now he was on the

 getting power of Ctriey. Two years ago, the 63-year-old Curley retired as governor to seek a Q. S. senate seat. Republican Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., 35, defeated him by 136,OOO votes. Last November, when Curley sought a four-year term as mayor of Bos- ton, Maurice J. Tobin, 35, defeated him by a 25,OOO-vote plurality. This year, Curley defeated his three pri- mary opponents, including both Gov- ernor Charles F. Hurley and Lieu tenant Governor Francis E. Kelly, by a 42,OOO-vote plurality. The Democratic party never before had refused renomination for a second term to q Democratic governor.
 EaltOnstal Support
 Saltonstall's three primary Oppo- nents are supporting him and the rest of the G. o. P. ticket. One of them, William H. McMasters, has the support of Townsend plan advo- cates and the plans originator, pr. Thomas E. Townsend, last week en- dorsed Santonstall. McMaSters boiled 48,00O primary votes and predicts he will swing 150,00O election votes to Saltonstall. In contrast, two of Curley,s primary rivals have ab- stained from giving him their sup port. The third, Kelly, belatedly en- dorsed Curley Saturday night. The campaign has dealt mainly with ap- peals to labor, youth and the aged. All of Massachusetts 15 U. s. rep resentatives, 10 Republicans and five Democrats, seek reflection. There is no senatorial contest.
 Rhode Island Contests In Rhode Islands three-man con- test, Democratic Governor Robert T. Quinn faces William H. Vanderbilt, socialist Republican, and Walter E.. O'Hara, running as an independen O'Hara seeks vindication of his stand in war with Quinn last year in which O'Hara was busted as pres ident of the Narragansett Racing Association, Inc. Vanderbilt, gentle man farmer and former state sena- tor, bases his campaign on prom iseS of lower government expenses. Other States
 In New Hampshire, Republican Governor Francis P. Murphy faces John L. Sullivan, youthful Man. chester lawyer and New Dealer. Democratic U. s. Senator Fred H. Brown is opposed by U. s. Repre- Sentative Charles w. Tobey, Republi- can.
 Vermont,s Governor George D. Aiken, Republican mentioned as pos sible presidential timber, faces Fred H. Martin, 100 per cent New Dealer and internal revenue collector. U. s. Senator Ernest w. Gibson, Republi- can, is opposed by John McGrath, Democrat.

edent by increasing a majority party's congressional strength over the standings effected in the pre- ceding presidential election year.
 From 1928 to the present the Republican trend has been down and the Democratic trend consist ently up in both state and national politics.
 Farley Predicts Sweep Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic national committee, who called the turn precisely in the 1886 presidential campaign, today pre- dicted another Democratic sweep" But Farley and other Democratic leaders concede a net loss of con- gressional seats to the Republicans. Farley'S estimate of the probable shift of house seats is under 30. Chairman Joseph w. Martin of the Republican congressional campaign committee predicted the G. O. P. would gain 80 seats. rarley called that estimate absurd.
 The gallup poll. notably close to the facts in 1886 but confronted with 8 far different forecast prob- len today, made week end pre- diction that the Republican party would pick up 50 to 7S ceats.
 Estimates of Claims
 Estimates of senate gains range from two to seven. Party leaders are in dispute whether Republicans or Democrats will come of tomorrow with the grand prizes of election dayS-governorship in such states as New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu- sets, Ohio, Michigan and California. With the exception or California, those states have Democratic gover- nors now.
 Between 3O,OoO,OoO and 10000, ,0o0 persons probably will vote tomorrow. The contests range from the per- flnctory ratification of Democratic primary nominees in the solid south and some border states to close and spectacular races confined largely to the great industrial areas.
 New York Leads Picture F Richest. most populous New York State is front and center of the picture. Republicans are charged here with raising religious and rad- cial issues and Gov. Herbert H. Leh- man, drafted by the New Deal for fourth term. has protested sharp ly. He acknowledged the fact that his Republican rival, Thomas E. Dewey, the 36-year-old racket bus ter, had repudiated such methods. MT. Roosevelt says Dewey is too young to be governor. The funda- mental issue in New xork Is New Deal against the c. O. P. and straws in the wind are skyrocketing Re- publican hopes.

plants and naval yards.
 Welles' address was one of the regular weekly series of inter-Amer- ican breakfasts designed to counter act German, Italian and Japanese propaganda disseminated by radio in South America.
 He warned that the United States did not expect world peace to con- tinue if maintained on the present basis.
 Threats of Hatred
 "The doctrine of hatred is threat ening civilization" he said.
 How can there be peace in the world, if the reign of law is to be replaced by the recurrent sanctifi- cation of sheer force; if national policies adopt as a deliberate instru- ment the dispersion all over the world of millions of helpless and persecuted wanderers with no place to lay their heads; If men and wo- men are not free to think their own thoughts, to express their own feel- ings, to worship God?"
 He paid tribute to the good neighbor" policy, emphasized the outstanding importance" of the inter American conference to be held at Lima, Peru, Dec. 9, and praised the trend toward increased cooperation among the new world democracies.

 Italy, emphatically not their Fascist policy.
 War Won, Says Franco I. asked Franco when he thought the war would be won. He replied promptly:
 "We have already won the war. l do not like to prognosticate when the fighting will cease, but the Reds are in the position of besieged cita- del. Their leaders still resist because there are still people who can be led into battle to die for them"
 @Do you need foreign volunteers or do you believe the Nationalist army alone can win the final vic- tory" asked.
 'sEmphatically, mo-" Franco said. "We are not dependent on foreign fighters. We never have had more than maximum of five per cent of foreigners in our army.
 "We just sent away 10000 Italians, and they were not wounded or sick, as the enemy says, but strong and healthy. Evacuation of these troops left us with only two per cent of for- eigners remaining in our army" (On the basis of Francois reply it is calculated that his entire army would number only 330,000).
 All Get Equal Rights
 Of Spain after the war, Franco declared that every Spaniard in the new national state would have full and equal rights as long as his inter ests were those of the community at large, and that no one would suffer for his blood, religion or his racial origin as long as he conformed to the Falangist (Spanish FascisD con- cepts.
 (The symbol of the Falangists prominently adorns the coat of arms of insurgent Spain. The Eagle of St. John, symbol of empire. holds in his right talon bundle of i've arrows, symbol of the Falangists, and in his left talon a yoke. The party has al- ways advocated a cooperative state on Fascist lines, maintaining the right of private property but curbing the power of capital and Of the church).
 Franco particularly insisted that while every Spaniard in the new state would be expected to contribute his full share to national effort and betterment, he had no intention of drafting youth into labor battalions such as those of Germany. Not Escape Scot Free He revealed that the Republicans would not escape scot free after the war. Asked if there would be media tion to settle the war, he replied: ''There will be no mediation be- cause criminals and their victims cannot live together" twill you grant general amnesty when the war is over?" "There should not be returned to society an element of fermentation and deterioration, but I believe in redemption through the penalty of labor" he replied.
 "Cnce it has been established what penalty fits the crime in question, the criminal will be able to redeem himself through work and good be- havior as a prisoner, until he has paid for his crime.
 "One day of good behavior will be equivalent to reducing the sentence by two days. We have more than 2- 100000 persons card-indexed. with proofs of their crimes and names of witnesses.

she and Ward. Night after night they had sat at the edge of the lake in the small town near the station, watching the dark water, telling each other silly, tender things. Kiss ing. Planning for the future. When Ward was an admiral When he had 8 whole squadron of huge powerful silver fish sailing the skies. He had believed in diri- gibles so utterly! He used to tell her that the largest, best airplanes couldn't fly oceans with the ease and certainty of 8 dirigible. He had talked about loads, about strange engineering terms she didn't know. He used to say, ''Dirigibles are still in their in- fancy! Why, in all the history of the world, there have only been 157 of them. Look at submarines, look at autos, look at airplanes! And yet, the dirigible is a swell, competent baby!"
 Ward had written 8 thesis at M. I. T. on dirigibles. It was his dream. and now that he was at Lakehurst, he was working hard and earnestly to clothe the dream in reality.
 They had talked about getting married, too, those nights on the lakes edge. And she had said, Mother and Dad are 50 Old- fashioned! They don't under stand" Her lips had quivered. ''They think I'm too young! Too youngl" She chung to him. "I couldn't love you any more. no matter how much older I got! Why can't they. let us get mar ried now. Why must we wait?" Ward stroked her hair, and put little kisses at the lobe of her ear. T know sweet" he said. T know" She said rebelliously, Three years! It seems like eternity. l don't think I can live that long!"
 His lips on hers told her how much he wanted her. His hand. holding hers, was tense with the longing. But he said Loyalty, "Your folks are right. You're only sixteen" !"
 Sixteen! But she had known. the first time she saw him, that this was her man, and there would never be anyone else.
 Well, she had lived. Her heart hurt now, thinking of that. She had lived. But he hadn't! For on a storm swept night that April, the huge Akron rose into the skies at the command of up Ship!" And at midnight. in a burst of lightning. it nosed down into the sea. She must n't think about 1t! Mustn't think about the gray morning in the commandant's house when the wives of the other men had swept silently, enduring their loss as navy wives must. Only she had been bitter and rebellious, beating her fists uselessly against the pillows. sobbing until her eyes were. burning and her face was a pale. tear-plowed ruin. Ships had rushed to the spot where the Akron went down. Mer- chant ships and navy ships and Coast Guard patrols. But they found only floating wreckage and three lone men, clinging to alumi- mum tanks. Three men out of the eighty one who had been aboard the Akron!
 Jack Hanley, here at her side, was one of those survivors. She had hated him, at first. Hated all ! of them who had lived. while

rank next in the roll of states where tomorrow's polling will have major national interest.
 Rural Michigan generally is con- ceded to be against Murphy, just as rural New York opposes Lehman and rural Pennsylvania generally leans toward Republican candidates. The Michigan vote will measure ac- curately whether and how much the new-deal Democratic party labor policies have weakened or strength ened 1t in urban areas.
 Ohio, California in Doubt
 Ohio probably is 8 bell wether state again. Robert A. Taft, son of Ia Republican president, opposes Senator Robert J. Bulkley, a staunch new dealer, for reelection to the senate. John w. Bricker, Re- publican, contests Charles Sawyer, Democrat, for governor. If political undercurrents are beginning to surge, returns from Ohio should in- dicate in which direction they are moving.
 California heads parade of a dozen states in which old age pen- sion proposals face the electorate. Democrats and Republicans various ly have aligned themselves with pension planners in states where the old age vote is a major factor. But California has the most spectacular plan with a slogan, "ham and eggs" and program of $30-every- Thurs day for every idle person over 50 years of age.
 Sheridan Downey, Democratic nominee for senator, and Culbert Olson. Democratic nominee for gov- ernor, won in the primaries with so-called funny money" support. MT. Roosevelt has endorsed their candidates while repudiating the Thursday pension plan. Governor Frank F. Marian, a Republican seeking reelection, balks at $3O- every-T Thursday but is heckoning for support of the Townsend $200-a- month old age pension scheme.
 Close I'm Kansas
 The new deal will watch another close contest in Kansas where George McGill, Democratic incum- bent, faces former Governor Clyde M. Reed for the senate. The race was regarded as a test for the new Agricultural Adjustment AdminiS- tration law with McGill appealing to farmers to stand by the new deal.
 In Minnesota a vigorous move to oust old guard Republican ideas was watched in the race between Harold E. Stassen, Republican challenger of Governor Elmer l.. Benson, Farmer Laborite, for reelection. The result would indicate how much effect 1t would have on similar movements nationally.
 Issues In New Jersey
 Alleged corruption, free speech and Mayor Frank Hague, the ''dic- tator" of Jersey City are the issues in New Jersey where w. H. J. Ely, Democrat" and former Republican senator w. w. Barbour are running for the senate. Ely, state works prO- gress adFAinistrator and friend of Hague. has MT. Roosevelt's endorse ment Hasues fight with the Con-

headlined the pro-New Deal New York Daily News today over its straw vote tabulation which gives Dewey a hairline edge. The Daily Mirror, in a similar poll, also re- ported Dewey slightly ahead.
 Dewey's election would be a tre- mendous blow to New Deal prestige.
 House To Stay Democratic
 There is no practical possibility of Republicans gaining control of the house. The solid south puts the sen- ate absolutely out of c. O. P. reach, But governorShips are in the bal- ance and in vital states some races are close. Republican winners-Dew- ey here, Judge Arthur H. James in Pennsylvania, to name a couple automatically would become poten- tial Republican presidential nomi- nees in 1940.
 President and his aides have spot lighted the sharp and vital contests where Democratic candidates may be in most jeopardy. Mfr. Roosevelt personally appealed for support of Lehman and the two Democratic senatorial nominees in New York Sen. Robert F. Wagner and Rep. James M. Mead. They are opposed by John Lord O'Brian and Edward Cost.
 President Intervenes
 The president intervened in Mich igan to defend Gov. Frank Murphy against the charge of "traitorous' conduct in his handling of the sit- down strike epidemic in the auto- mobile industry. And campaign events forced him also, to intervene in California and Pennsylvania. His cabinet aides followed and widened the path of administration cam paigning, especially in the great iii- dustrial states where the New Deal combined labor and forgotten man. support with the votes of former Republican farmers and others in the western half of the country to roll up the New Deal- Demo cratic victories in 1932-34-S6
 Pennsylvania Is Keystone
 Pennsylvania is a keystone in more than name. New Deal-Denno- crats seized the state but are chal- lenged now and the contest may be close both for governor, where James opposes Charles Alvin Jones, Democratic lawyer from Pittsburgh. Gov. George H. Earle, who admins tered a little New Deal" from the state capitol, is running for the senate against Sen. James Davis. Republican nominee for reelection. Graft charges against the Earle administration and political wounds suffered in Q bruising Democratic primary last May are the basis of such prospects as the Republican ticket may have in Pennsylvania

She said, Tt wasn't very nice of you to tell me this"
 Jack said, You know how I feel about you. We've been friends g long time. And he's a light weight. IT couldn't stand it."
 Suddenly she was blazing furi- ous. ''It's none of your business who go with, or what he wants! As 1t happens, Dwight isn't after what you so flatteringly insinuate he is. He's after me! Me!
