DEMOCRATS GAIN
 TEN HOUSE SEATS
Ousted IA Republicans, But Four Seats From
 Their Own Ranks
By JOHN R. REAL

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 6--(UP)-Demo- crats increased their House majority today by 10 seats, busting IA incum- bent Republicans while losing four seats to Republicans.
 A Democratic majority somewhat larger than the present 259-167 di- vision was indicated in tabulation of the Congressional races showing that POI Democrats, 91 Republicans and two Wisconsin Progressives were def- initely assured of election. However, some undecided contests may dimin- ish New Deal gains.
 A prominent Republican casualty in Ohio was Rep. Harry N. Routzohn. He is former American Federation of Labor attorney who served on the House committee which investigated the National Labor Relations board and sponsored legislation passed by the House but stymied in the Senate to amend the Wagner act. Greg Hol- brook, Democrat, defeated him.
 Veteran Loses Seat
 But in Missouri, Rep. Reuben T. Wood, Democrat, four-term House veteran and president of the Mis- souri Federation of Labor, lost his seat to Phil A. Bennett, Republican.
 Biggest Democratic coup was in New England, where the administra- tion captured four Republican seats in Connecticut and two in Rhode Island to make both House delega- tions completely Democratic.
 The Democrats also took over two Republican seats in Pennsylvania and two in New York, but lost one in the Empire State-that held by Rep. James Fl. Fay, who "purged" John J. o'Connor for the New Deal in 1888.
 Despite personal efforts of Presi- dent Roosevelt and some Republican Willkle packers to defeat him, Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y., was reelected. New York picked Ken- neth simpson, former national com- mitteeman, to succeed to the post vacated by Bruce Barton when he ran for the Senate. Rep. Vito MaTy eantonio, sole AmeFican-LaboF rep. Tesenlatiye in Congress, won e. election.

CANADIAN LEADER
 VISITS ROOSEVELT
Gathering Seen as Bring ing Dominion and Uncle
 Sam in Closer Alliance
By T. F. REYNOLDS United Press White House
 Cnrresnnndenfl

Hyde Park, N. Y, Oct. 19-(UP)- President Roosevelt receives the Earl of Athlone, governor general of Canada and uncle of King George, as his weekend guest today. The earl. enroute here from Ottawa, is accompanied by his wife, Princess Alice.
 The visit was "'unofficiap only because the president of the United States was receiving the head of the government of Canada, the viceroy of the king of the British empire, in his private home rather than in the White House. It was described both in Washington and Ottawa as a courtesy visit. But it was seen as bringing Canada and the United States. already bound by an unwrit- ten defense alliance even closer.
 The earl and his princess are au- thentic royalty, in addition to his status as the direct representative of his sovereign to the largest dominion of the empire. The earl is brother O1 0OWdBCI &uCCA G0dAyS bAACACAOAS the uncle of the king. Princess Alice is granddaughter of Queen Vic- toria.
 Their visit coincided with reports in Washington that the administra- ton is preparing to further increase its aid to Great Britain-perhaps making some of the army,s flying fortress" bomberS available to the Royal Air Force.
 The earl and his princess left Que bee for Hyde Park last night, soon after receiving Prime Minister w. |. Mackenzie King. Less than three months ago the conference between King and MT. Roosevelt at Ogdens- burg, N. r., resulted in commission to plan joint defense.
 Their visit will add to the growing traditions of the Roosevelt family mansion here which has housed roy alty often since MT. Roosevelt be- came president, most notably King George and Queen Elizabeth during tlfeir visi ito Canada and the United States last year.

Mother Country.
 It didn't take the king and his ministers long to find out, even at this early stage of American history, that Americans don't like to take orders. And the kings successors realized that the Americans were right, and so they had a social revo- lution of their own and made their country every bit as democratic as their late colonies were.
 But most of the other countries in the Old World weren't as clever. Feudalism was still the order, so those who were being oppressed turned to the west. They crossed the ocean by sail and by steam and they
