STATE DELEGATION
 DIVIDED IN VOTES
Three Republicans Were Opposed to Lifting Elm.
 bargo; Adjournment

Just as only three of Connecti- cuts members of Congress wanted to repeal the arms embargo and voted that way in the Senate and House, so late last Friday only two of the delegation voted to let Con- gress 90 home once the repeal was put through.
 Reps. J. Joseph Smith of this city and James A. Shanley of New Ha- ven, both Democrats, were the two Connecticut legislators voting for adjournment of the special session. This was in contrast to their votes on the embargo, for both voted in favor of retention of 1t.
 Those who voted to repeal the embargo-Senator Francis T. Ma loney, Democrat, of Meriden, and Reps. Thomas R. Ball, Republican. of Old Lyme and B. J. Monldewicz, Republican, of New Britain-all voted to keep Congress in session in view of the war emergency.
 The other three members of the Connecticut group-Senator John B. Danaher of Meriden, William J. Miller of Wethersfield, and Albert E. Austin of Old Lyme, all Repub- licans, voted consistently through out. They were opposed to the ad- ministration. cash and carry plan, involving the embargo repeal and they also were opposed to letting Congress call its work done once this was finished. They considered the situation so serious as to neces- sitate the presence of Congress in Washington.

having rallied to MT. Roosevelt's for eign policies, he is in good position now to continue to strengthen his hold on the party and to claim the 1940 nominate for himself or sorne- one of his own choosing, such as Secretary of State Cordell Hull. But a recurrence in the next session ot Congress of the spectacular intra- party battles of 1937-38.39. easily could jolt him from command of the Democratic national convention. ', Democratic conservatives might be willing to,get rid of his leadership in a no-quarter fight next session but for the geenral assumption that who- ever is nominated next year on the Democratic ticket must have MT. RooseveltIs support to get anywhere in the November election. As 1t stands today the New Dealers and the con- servative Democrats would be mu- tually able to checkmate each other in 1940 whereas, joined together. they would have an excellent chance of continuing the party in power for another four years.
 It Is this mutual dependence and the likelihood that both sides would be willing to compromise @ bit for a united front to take advantage of recent good political breaks, that raises. conservative hopes now that the president will withhold funda- mentally controversial legislation from the next session. ,.

Townsendites Plan Campaign Aimed At Presidency In 40

made the Anti-Saloon League such a power in American politics. If they round up anything in the neigh borhood of the number of followers they expect to get, they would all most certainly hold the balance of power in Washington.
 OPEN ATTACK
 ON CONGRESSMEN
 This new campaign supplements one launched last summer, after the Townsend plan was voted down in the House of Representatives.
 pr. Townsend and his aides kept a careful check on the way the representatives voted. They irnn1e- diately organized a number of "fiy- ing squadrons" to go into the dis tricts of anti-Townsend Congress- men and do some intensive organiz- ing work.
 That program has been carried on ever since. Right now, for i1- stance, there are a dozen of the |squadrons in the field, carefully building up local clubs in the homo districts of the pension plans lead- ing Congressional foes. EDITORS: The reference b .
 compromise on the radio code
 comes from the National Associa-
 ton of Broadcasters themselves,
 not from the Townsend people.
 NAB heads are meeting in Chi-
 cago this Thursday and Friday to
 settle the matter. They'll probably
 rule that the presidential cam
 paign begins (as far as Townsend is cOncerned) this month.

BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Corresponden


 Washington, Nov. 6.-(UP)-Con- servative hopes are rising today that improved economic conditions and political factors will persuade Presi- dent Roosevelt to avoid bitterly con- troversial proposals in the next Con- gress and prevent further shot-in- the-arm lending-spending legisla- ton.
 The nation enters a breathing spell now after adjournment of the spec ciaI session with MT. Roosevelt's po- litical prestige higher than at any time since his second election three years ago. Better business and gen- eral accepance of his foreign policy are the reasons for that.
 One year from today the nation should know who the next president will be. The parties meet in seven months to name their ticket.
 A numerous contingent of con- gressional Democrats who bolted Mir. Roosevelt on supreme court, spend- ing, labor and other issues during the past three years appears now to be ready to ride with the New Deal again if the road is not too bunny. Plans Next Two Months
 The president will plan his 1940 legislative program during the next two months and, sometime before next June, probably indicate wheth- CT he wants 8 third term. All that is known of his program so far is that he will ask authorization for a $l,- 300 O,000 900 naval expansion program. Expenditures for national defense are expected to continue at $2,000,- 100000 annually.
 It is practically certain that the ad- ministration will press again for a large scale slun clearance program at which Congress baked in the last regular session. In the last week of that session the House refused even to consider a $3,0o0.000, 900 shot-in- the-arm lending bill and an item of $500, ,000,000 for the housing author ity.
 Rebuke to Congress
 The presidents last words on the lending bill were @ rebuke to Con- gress. He said the legislative branch was gambling with the fate of hu- manity, having made two bets that there would not be 0 war before

|WPA TOOL SHED RUINED BY FIRE.
Youngsters Suspected of Playing With Matches;
 Blaze Checked

The WPA tool shed at 100 Earring ton avenue was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, and the coat, spectacles and other personal be- longings of the watchman were lost with the shed.
 Lieut.. Eugene A. Legge, of the marshal's staff, said the blaze was probably caused by the old combina- tion-children playing with matches. In fact, the watchman, Peter Stoto, of IA Court street, reported he mo- ticed group of boys lurking near the structure as he worked down the street.
 Five pieces of apparatus were dis patched to the scene following tel ephone and box alarms.
 A tenement fire was averted Sat- urday night by the timely discovery of leaking gas jet and the shutting off of the gas supply by f1remen re- spending to an alarm.
 The mishap occurred in the apart ment of MT. and Mrs. Vernon Hall, at 65 Abbott avenue. Mrs. Hall dis covered the leak in the jet, but be- fore she had time to check 1t, the burner dropped to the ficor and flames leaped up.
 Her screams attracted a neighbor who sent in an alarm. Seven pieces of apparatus responded. Mrs. Hall suffered burns of the hand as she tried to smother the flames.
 A brush fire on property owned by Sarah Lord on Yale street, was ex- tinguished Saturday afternoon.

but 1t is learned that the perform ance is to be repeated in state after state until the election.
 RADIO CODE MAY
 CURB BROADCASTS
 The radio angle of the program, of course, cuts squarely across the recently adopted code of the Ma tional Association of Broadcasters. Under its rulings stations may not sell time for the presentation of controversial issues.
 It is probable that a way out will be found. The code does permit the selling of time during political cam paigns for the discussion of "pub- lie proposals subject to ballot" = which certainly covers the Townsend plan-and 1t is likely that 1t will be ruled that that clause will permit the selling of time in this instance.
 The Townsend people are con- fident that as a result of this cam paign they will be able to build up bloc of anywhere from 6,0000 00O to 12000,00 voters who will apply to all candidates for every national office one simple test: will he vote for the Townsend plan2

Conservative Hopes In
 Nation Rising Higher
Improved Economic Conditions, Political Factors Per.
 suade President to Prevent Shot-in-Arm Spending

Congress met again in January and that private enterprise can take up the slack caused by dropping 1,0o0, ,000 persons from relief rolls and virtu- ally suspending the Public Works Administration program. He made that complaint on Aug. g and within month had European war to show as evidence that Congress had lost one of its bets.
 But improved business conditions are brightening the unemployment situation although something over 1900, 900 persons are on the relief rolls and the number almost inevi- tably must increase steadily through the winter. and into Marcn. The ad- ministration will have to decide shortly whether to return to the lending dispute or abandon 1t in the expectation that business and re-enn- ployment will continue at 8 rate making government job-spending unnecessary.
 Decision Softened
 The decision may be considerably softened by Q shift of government spending and lending from public works and relief projects to national defense. Spending for national sde. fense will create jobs, too, and with far less conservative political objec. ton than to the more direct shot-in- the-arm methods.
 The coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats who ilnauled the administration last session is ex- pected to go into action next January for amendment of New Deal labor legislation, both to change the Na- tional Labor Relations act, which is regarded by employers as biased in favor of employees, and to obtain exemptions from the wage-hours act, at least for the higher paid brackets of employees. There will be much talk, at least, about amending "confisca- tory income taxes
 On any of these issues the New Deal and conservative Democrats can fall apart again as angrily as in their previous divisions since the election of i9S6. But. if business con- ditions continue to improve, shocks will be cushioned all around and the imminence of the 1940 presidential election raises serious problems for politicians on both sides.
