NEW YORK, Nov. ). (UP)
general election cam
paign entered the stretch to-
day with the New Deal MAX
ing an aggressive fight to
hold its own in the great industrial
states.
President Roosevelt led off with
direct appeal for Democratic can
didates in New York and Michigan.
Cabinet members and others de-
ployed to storm Republican works
in such states as Pennsylvania and
New Jersey.
President Roosevelts general elec-
ton message called upon the people
for continuous liberal government
the New Deal-and grouped Com
munists and old-line Republicans
alike among those with Fascist
aims.
He did not mention the Democra-
tic party But he warned that both
Fascism and Communism would
thrive if liberalism failed.
Il am not talking mere idealism,"
Mr.. Roosevelt said. Il am pressing
realistic necessity"
Polls and surveys foretell close
contests in most states lying north
Of the Ohio and east of the MiSsis-
sippi where the New Deal found
much of the popular support to
achieve the political triumphs of
1932-34-36.
Mr.. Roosevelt took the offensive
last night in a radio appeal for the
New Deal with special emphasis on
Gov. Frank Murphy, New Deal
Democratic candidate for reelection
IN Michigan, and for the democratic
ticket in New York. His speecn
charged old line Republicans as we'll
as Communists with Fascist objec-
| tiveS.
From Chicago came a parallel ac-
cusation by Earl Browder, leader
OF American Communists, that for
mer President Hoover was a repre-
sentative of Fascism and that the
| elements fighting the New Deal
represented the forces that brought
the peace of Munich.
A new and uneXplored election
issue was proposed in dispatches
from Germany quoting the news
paper Der Angriff which spread
across its front page a charge that
the visit OF George Cardinal Mum
delein to the Pope today was part
OF an ELECTION dell.
The paper argued that q 900 900
American Catholics would decide
tuesdays election here and that
Mr.. Roosevelt had won them with
a promise to reeStabliSh diplomatic
relations with the Holy See.
Issues closer home included the
plea of Mr.. Roosevelt seconded by
Secretary of Interior Ickes, in Penn
SylVania, and by others that the
United States is the strongest il
not the last bulwark of Democracy
They warned that retreat from New
Deal liberalism would raise both
Fasclsm and Communism to sieni-
flcant heights here.

C. U, BEATS PITT
TO TIE LILO Ms
IN CAGE LOOP

PITTS BURGH, Pa, Jan. %.
Georgetown University'S basket
ball team. the big surprise of the
Eastern Conference, turned in its
second sensational league start in
as many trips when it sunk the
cage forces of DR.. RED" CarlSon's
University of Pittsburgh team here
last night, 50-47, to go into a tie
with Penn State for the loop lead
ership for "a hours at least.
Tonight the invading Hoya quin-
tet clashes with Penn State at
State College for the exclusive
privilege of pacing the conference.
The team departed here early this
morning for Altoona, nearly 200
miles into Central Pennsylvania,
and from there will take the bus
route to the scene Of tonight's
gigantic battle.
Ina5much as the game is being
played on the Lions home floor,
Georgetown is the underdog.
WILD SCORING
Georgetown, reputed to be a
notorious weak road team, crossed
up the PantherS last night in as
wild a scoring orgy as ever wit
messed on the Pitt Stadium floor.
The Hoyas opened up their Scor-
ing guns early in the fray with
Joe Schmidt, stellar forward of
the team staging a brilliant indi-
Vidual performance and to keep
the washington team in the ball
game.
It was in the closing moments
of the first half that the official
score keepers lost complete con-
troll Of the tilt, which nearly cost
Georgetown field goal.
BEARS DEADLOCK
While the score-keepers were
busily engaged in checking in five
Pitt substitutes, Schmidt looped a
two-pointer, to break a 29-29
deadlock. Confusion reigned
around the press box as the half
time gun went off and Schmidt
was not credited with his success
full shot.
There followed a lengthy confab
between the athletic director of
Georgetown, Gabe Murphy, and
Coach Carlson, of Pitt. A canvass
of newSmen revealed that Schmidt
did tally, and the coveted two
points were added to the visitors
score.
Although Schmidt carried off
| Ihigh-Scoring honors for the victorS,
the Panther'd Miles Zelenik was
high scorer of the game, with Is
points. Schmidt registered 10
points, as did Bob Johnson, of the
PantherS.

ton were best for the losers with
4 points each.
Roosevelt's Rough Riders were
forced to the limit at all times by
Wilson who, after trailing by three
points in the first quarter, forged
ahead early in the second period,
100, but ended the first half on
the short end of a 1913 score.
In the third period, after Roose-
velt had built ur the largest lead
they ever possessed during the
game, they became a bit confused
and scored a basket for their op-
ponents. The Presidents, appar-
emily heartened by this magnani-
nous act, tied the score at 20-all.
The philanthropistS weren't to
be denied, however, and by dint
of seven points in the last quarter
the last basket with only 10 Sec
ondS to go-they overcome their
generous tendencies and won.
High scorer for the evening was
Dunnington, Wilson with 9 points,
while Treganowan, with 8 points
was best for the visitors.

One Of the preliminaries to the

Ed Van Every, veteran fight

with gusto until police separated
them. Just then Jack Miley,
former sports columnist of the
