Ex-Gov. Fitzgerald Is Given
Chance for Victory in
Nov. 8 Election.
REPUBLICANS MAY ADD
2To 5 SEATS IN HOUSE
New Dealers, in Effort to Halt
Stampede to Foe, Promise to
Push Pension Bill.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Star stan Correspondent.

DETROIT. Oct. ll.-Michigan is
one of the happier hunting grounds
for the G. o. P. this year.
Unless both Democratic and Re-
publican prognosticators are wrong.
the Republicans will pick up from
two to five seats in the House now
occupied by Democrats in the elec-
tions on November 8. At present the
Michigan delegation in the House
stands nine Republicans and eight
Democrats.
An even more significant defeat for
the Democrats in this State, however,
would be that of Gov. Frank Murphy
New Dealer to the core. Today, with
the campaign still in the making, for
mer Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald, Re-
publican. is given the edge over
Murphy by impartial observers. Dem
ocratic leaders vehemently deny that
Murphy can be beaten. They place
their estimates of victory, however, as
low as $4,000 while hoping for $4,000.
All of which indicates that the Dem
ocrats are worried.
Two years ago Gov. Muhphy de-
feated Fitzgerald by approxims tely
$4,000 votes-while President Roose-
welt was carrying the State with a
lead Of 100000 over ALI Landon.
mo Coattails Now" Is Cry.
mo coattails to ride on this year"
is the way the supporters of Fitzgerald
describe Gov. Murphy's position. With
the support of President Roosevelt as
part and parcel of the Democratic
ticket, they figure Murphy cannot
win.
Here in Michcigan, as in Maine,
Massachusetts and several other States,
the Townsend old-age pensioners are
throwing their support to the Repub-
lican candidates. generally speaking.
and while the Republicans are not
giving open approval Of the pension
plan they are saying-some of them
that they see no reason why the pen
sion proposal should not be allowed
to come to q vote in Congress. That
seems to satisfy the old people. who
are particularly down on the Demo-
Gratis because they have pigeonholed
the Townsend pension plan bill for
the last three or four years. a
In an effort to head Oh this stam-
pede of the old age pensioners to
the G. o. p. the Roosevelt New
Dealers are coming forward with
promises to push bill in the next
Congress amending the Social Sc
curity Act so as to increase the
monthly old age pension to $40
month-instead of s30-where States
match the full Federal allowance.
There is proposal to reduce the age
for pensions from IS to so years, too.
Representative John J. Dingell of
the 18th Michigan district is slated to
offer the new pension bill for the New

800 feet across the underground pool, "
said Dean E. c. Wilson Of East Gen.
tral, who came here to aid in the
search.
They had taken a cord with them
SO they could find their way back in
the darkness. They had staked the
cord on the other side in shallow
water and walked on from there to
the ledge.
Apparently they could not find
the cord again In the darkness, and
went back to the ledge to wait. Why
they did not call out when the res
cuers finally found their way to the
underground lake do not know.
These daring young boys deserve
all the credit for the rescue. They
waded and swan through the under
ground lake until they got to the
other side. They could hear the
breathing of the boys and figured they
were unconscious.
"They came back for flashlights,
placed them in buckets and managed
to ferry them across the water with
out getting them wet. When the boys
saw the lights they stood up

nounced officially today that Eduard
Benes, former President of Czechoslo-
vakia, had agreed to become the Scot
tish Nationalist candidate for rector of
Glasgow University in the election to
be held October %.
Mr.. Benes resigned last Wednesday
as chief Of the state he helped estab-
lish 20 years ago. explaining that his
continuance in Office, in the face of
the declared enmity of Adolf Hitler,
would constitute an obstacle" to re-
vival Of the dismembered republic.
He retired to his summer home at
Sezimovo Usti, south of Prague. and
withdrew from affairs of State. Brown
University and the University of Chi
cago had invited him to lecture or
teach.
Other candidates for the Glasgow
University post are Sir Archibald Sim
clair, leader Of the Liberal opposi-
ton in the House of Commons; Sir
Henry Lunn, vice president of the
League Of Nations Union. and Lau-
renee Housman, author and Paciflst.
The last rector of Glasgow Uni
versity-a purely ceremonial post
was the Very Rev. H. r. L. Sheppard,
canon and precentor of St. Paul's
Cathedral. who died October 81, 1897.
Scottish Nationalists made the an
nouncement of Benes' candidacy at a
crowded students meeting. Support

diately put up posters reading, Vote
for Benes, the man who saved the
world"
Benes' agreement to be candidate.

small democratic nations, was OBJ
tanned through the Czechoslovak Lega-
ton in London.
Need Not Live in Britain.
Because the post Is purely honorary
Benes, If elected, would not necessarily
have to live in Britain.
Other notable foreigners have held
rectorships of Scottish universities in
the past. The late Marchese Gug-
lielmo Marconi. Italian inventor of
wireless, was elected rector Of st.
Andrews University in 1884.
The Czechoslovak Legation was ap-
preached by the Scottish Nationalists
on the matter only last night and ex-
pressed surprise that Benes had ac-
cepted so quickly.
Benes, spending his days puttering
in the garden Of the 10-acre estate
which he now makes his home,
hitherto had let a great pile Of mes
sages from all parts of the world, in
cluding TIE invitations from Brown
and Chicago, go unanswered.

While the committee prepared for
