Popular Four
Daughters in New Hit

Tins years successor TO last years
memorable -Four Daughters" is an
other Warner Bros. picture of the
Joys and sorrows of an amusing and
lovable family, entitled Daughters
Courageous. scheduled to open next
Sunday at the Kootenai theatre.
While il is in no sense a sequel
to -Four Daughters, since it con-
Germs another family played by the
same stars. but in a different set
ting, the new picture has many
facets of resemblance.
The most striking, and what will
probably be tine most satisfying, is
the fact that every member of the
least of -Four Daughters has part
of equal importance and of a similar
significance in the new production.
Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola Lane
and Gale Page are again a quar-
tette of lively and affectionate sis
tiers in the new film, and they again
have Claude Rains as their father.
They also have the same suitors,
John Garfield and Jeffrey Lynn
vying for the hand of Priscilla, Nc
Hugh counting Lola, and Dick Foran
this is a Slight difference-trying
to divide his affections between
Rosemary and Gale.
Even lovable May Robson is again
in the cast, though she is not a
member of the family this time, be-
ing an old servant who has been
with them for many years, SO many,
in fact, that she teels she has the
right to loud voice in the family's
affairs.

SURVIVORS OF
 SQUALLS MEET

Portsmouth, N. IT., Nov. 13-(UP) The 32 survivors of the Squalus disaster will gather aboard the sal- vaged submarine for the last time Wednesday as the boat is decommis- stoned.
 The men will stand at attention before the coming tower and hear their commander, Lieutenant Oliver F. Naquin, read the decommission- ing orders from the navy depart ment and lower the pennant ana flag.
 Then, after the Squalus is turned over to the yard captain, the men will take up new assignments in other navy posts. It was believed that every effort would be made to reassemble the crew when the Squa- Jus is commissioned again, possibly late next summer.
 The survivors-rescued in diving bell when the submarine sank May g with loss of 26 lives-all have asked to serve on the ship again.

Chairmen Of Three Political
 Parties Making Predictions

Chairmen of the Democratic, Re- publican and Socialist parties eacy predict victory for their tickets in the election tomorrow. The highest plurality prediction is that of Jo- seph F. Mulville, Democratic town chairman, who expects the Scully ticket to win by 9,200.
 MT. Mulville Saidi
 "About one year and a half ago I resigned as secretary of the Democratic state central commit Zee, because I believed that I could not afford the time required to perform the duties of the office thoroughly and efficiently.
 "T have no personal political ambitions, but I was so interested In the candidacy of Vincent Scully and the success of the Democratic party, that I was only too glad to accept the chairmanship of the Democratic town committee, when the position was offered to me.
 "The election tomorrow means much 70 my people and to the peo- pie of the many races in Water-

The Republican candidates have waged fine campaign. I am con- fident that the voters have too much brains tc continue the Dem ocratic machine in power"
 "The voters realize the need fgr a change, and I feel sure that they will elect all the Republican candidates for office tomorrow"
 Socialists To Win
 Socialist Town Chairman Sam uel Wolozin:
 q feel very sure that the So- cialist ticket will win. We are confident that the people, tired of the two major parties, will give us the opportunity to give them good government"
 "The sentiment everywhere about the city is in our favor. There seems no reason why the almost 14,000 citizens who voted for our party last year will not again pull the Socialist lever. The Socialists will go over the top by a big majority"

 "The attacks on MT. Scully have been unfair and unjust. You know as well as I do that he is decent and honest. The Republicans know it, too, and I am firmly convinced that these unjust attacks will prove boomerang tomorrow and give the Democratic party one of the biggest pluralities in the his- tory of the city.

 Upson Claims 1000
 Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson said,
 "I think we'll win. It's difficult to estimate by what ma ajority, but I'd say about 2,OO0.'

Pope Plus May Appoint Two New American Cardinals At Consistory Near Christmas

of diplomatic work being carried out by prospective Cardinals.
 It was recalled that Pope Plus xI named two Cardinals "in pectore" during his private cosistory of March i3, 1883. They were Fexrico Tedeschini and Carlo Salotti. Ted eschini then was Apostolic Nuncio to Spain. His appointment was re- vealed l8 months later.
 Some Vatican quarters believed that Plus might donate Q Cardinal ship to Monsignor Cesare Oresenigo Apostolic Nuncio to Berlin. He prob- ably would be kept "in pectore, ]" however. until church matters in Germany reach more satisfactory stage.
 Another possible Cardinal is Mon- signor Francesca Borgognini-Duca who has been Apostolic Nuncio tC Italy since the signing of the Lat eran treaty In 1929. The speculation regarding Borgognini vas based on the fact that this is the 10th an- niversary of the treaty.

By M. S. HANDLER limited Press Staff CorresnOndentl


 Paris, Nov. l3-(UP)-German reconnaissance planes flew over the Paris region this morning and were dispersed by heavy anti-aircraft fire which broke up their formation and sent them fleeing home individually by way of Belgium and the North Sea.
 The air raid alarm was sounded ir Paris at APO a. m. and anti-aircraft firing could be heard all about the city. The "all clear" signal followed at $40 a. m.
 It was announced that the Ger mans had resumed intensive recon- naissance and patrol flying on the entire front from Luxembourg to the Swiss border, as the weather im- proved. French reconnaissance planes flew over Germany.
 No land fighting was reported yes- terday.
 The 141st war communique today said "The night was calm along the whole front"
 Two German patrols composed of 10 and 100 men appeared west and east of the Saar river but failed to contact French outposts. 1t was an- nounced. One of the patrols lost a man, as prisoner, to the French west of the Vosges mountains.

Vatican City, Nov. 13-CUP)- Pope Plus XII will hold his first
 consistory shortly before Christmas,
 Vatican circles reported today. They
 expected him to appoint the two
 new Cardinals for the United States. The Sacred College membership is expected to be increased close to its maximum number of 70. It now
 has 58 members.
 It was believed the Pontiff would convoke a private consistory on Dec, II or Dec. 18. The private consistory always is held on a Monday, with the public consistory on the follow ing Thursday. The first Monday of December was eliminated because the Pontiff had scheduled for Dec. s
 the Solemn Pontificial Mass of Ba- silica Santa Maria Maggiore.
 One of the likliest appolntees to
 one of the new Cardinals, 1t was
 said, would be Archbishop Francis Spellman Of New York. The second American Cardinalship may go e San Francisco. The Pope may ap-

Europe's little nations redoubled displomatic and military defenses against the threatening tide of war today and Finland and Russia broke off negotiations on enlarge ment of the Soviet sphere in the Baltic.
 The rupture-amid mutual re- criminations-created crisis in the north at @ time when European war developments appeared to have dashed any immediate hopes for progress toward restoration of peace and when small countries all over the continent were looking anxiously to defense of their inde- pendence.
 In Holland, Prime Minister D. J. De Greer declared in a radio ad- dress that mobilization of the arm- ed forces of the Netherlands was preparation against any eventuality but also guarantee to the belliger- ent powers that the Dutch would avoid taking sides.
 Speaking indirectly for Belgium as well as Holland, the prime min- ister denied that danger to the low countries was any greater than at the start of the European war and blamed reports originating in the
