Sin9Ie-FomiIy Homes
Peak for II Years Seen

Production of single family homes
in the United States in 1910 will be
close to the average number built
annually during the 1920-1929 decade
and will be the highest in IL years,
Federal Housing Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald said today.
Although it is too early to make
an accurate estimate as to the total
number of all units built in 1910,
including multiple dwellings, Mr..
Mcdonald predicted that the total
would approximate 525 1850. The
number will easily exceed the 1929
figure, as we'll as all years since
then. he said.
Production of single family struc-
lures, the field in which the Federal
Housing Administration chiefly op-

crates. will show a still higher COM
parative gain, he added.
The total number of single family
homes built this year is expected to
approach the 1920-1929 annual aver
age of 427,0O0. In 1928, the last year
in which the current volume was
exceeded, the total number of single
family homes built was $4,000. In
1888, the year before passage of the
National Housing Act, only $4,000
Single-family homes were built.

Labor Board Drops
Research Division
Headed by Saposs
Director and Il Aides
Dismissed os Agency
Complies With Law

The long fight by Labor Board
enemies in the House to do away
with the economic research division
of the board was ended today, with
the unit junked and David j. Saposs,
its directors and 81 other members
out. The dismissals were announced
yesterday by the board, culminat-
ing a drive begun more than a
year ago by the Dies committee
on un-American activities and sub
sequently taken up by the Smith
committee investigating the board
activities.
In dropping the Saposs group,
the board obeyed a mandate in
the first supplemental civil func-
tions appropriations bill signed by
President Roosevelt Thursday. A
section Of the bill prohibited the
Labor Board from maintaining an
economic research division" or a
division of technical service,"-the
later designation of the unit.
In its original form, the legisla-
ton would have prevented the
Labor Board from carrying on any
duties that had been assigned to
those divisions, but this was modi-
fled at the insistence of Senator
Wagner, Democrat, of New York,
author of the Labor Relations Act,
who insisted that otherwise the ef-

Hole! in Liverpool
Is Razed by Bomb;
Big Guns Active
Unknown Number Of Dead
Buried in Wreekoge;
London Hos 5 Raids
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Nazi war
planes soaring beyond sight in the
autumnal mists made five daylight
raids on London today after night
of scattered attacks in which an
undetermined number of persons
were buried in the wreckage of a
Liverpool hotel.
Some houses and business estab-
lishments in London were smashed
today, but the Ministries of Air and
Home Security said casualties and
damage were comparatively light.
Bombs also dropped in Kent and
Sussex.
At least four German planes were
destroyed, a communique said, and
one British fighter was lost, with the
pilot safe.
Convent Is Bombed.
Five houses were wrecked in one
section in the first raid. Stores and
offices were damaged in the sec
ond and number of casualties were
reported.
The Press Association reported a
hospital and a convent were dam
aged in the night raids. Eleven nuns
in the convent escaped without in
jury, after fighting flames with
hand extinguishers on the roof
until the fire got out of control
and they had to come down.
Unofficial reports said 40 Nazl
planes tried to reach London in the
first raid and so in the second, while
80 took part in the next two raids.
Four bombs fell in one part of
London in the first daylight attack,
and German guns at Cap Griz Nez
resumed their shelling of the Eng
liSh coast.
2OOth Alarm Sounded.
Rescue crews found several per-
sons alive in the Liverpool Hotel
struck squarely by big bomb. But
the rest of the staff and guests were
somewhere beneath the heap OF
rubble.
Within an hour after the first raid,
anti-aircraft guns began to bark
again and sirens screamed the city's
200th alarm.
Once again, in approximately an
hour, planes were heard overhead
and the days third warning was
sounded.

ABOARD WILKES TRAIN EN-
ROUTE TO ALBANY, N. Y, Oct.
12-Republicans had high hopes
today of carrying five of the six
New England States as Wendell
Willkie completed his tour of the
region in the Western part of Massa-
chusettS
With Maine, Vermont and New
Hampshire regarded as in their COL
umn, they were greatly encouraged
over their prospects in Connecticut.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts
as a result of the friendly recep-
tion given the Republican nominee
as he travelled hundreds of miles
through the latter three States this
week
Political analysts in this section,
however, discounting the enthusi-
asm of Republican workers, look
on Rhode Island as q Republican
weak spot at present. They indi-
cate a belief also that Massachu-
settS-with its II electoral votes
is extremely close between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Mr.. Willkie as
of today.
Flays New Deal Defeatism.
AS the nominees Albany-bound
train stopped in Lawrence, Mass,
this morning, Mr.. Willkie repeated
to a throng there the charge he
made in Rhode Island Thursday
that the New Deal sees no room
for industrial growth to solve the
unemployment problem.
He said:
"Since Mr.. Roosevelt first told us
that there was no more room for
expansion in America, many revo-
lutionary new inventions and the
new industries have come along
The third-term candidate himself
the White House since he made his
gloomy statement. And still the
New Dealers do not learn.
IN an effort to cover up their
own failure they keep telling us
that the era of expansion in Amer
lea is all over"
Mr.. Willkie in stop at Haver-
hill, Mass, later this morning as
serted the depression from which
Haverford industries have suffered
illustrates one of the basic issues
Of his campaign, his promise to
create jobs in private industry for
men still out of work.
Derides Defense Tour"
The high spot of the New Eng
land tour was reached last night,
when Mr.. Willkie told more than
$4,000 Bostonians in the National
League ball park that President
Roosevelt thinks dictators abroad
can win the election for him. He
accused the President also of "try-
ing to perpetuate himself in Office"
Mr.. Willkie began his Boston
speech with q caustic attack on the
Presidents military inspection trip
into Pittsburgh and Ohio, as he
had done late in the afternoon at
Cambridge.

making a political speech. I am
not on a. military inspection tour.
There is military inspection tour
going on in Pennsylvania now and

thundered for more than three
hours last night and early today in
their longest bombardment.
Big shells exploding at three
minute intervals shook the coasts of
Southeastern England and Nazi-
held France. Flashes of gunflre
lighted both sides of the Strait Of
Dover.
New Blows at Coast.
From bases back of the smoking
guns the Royal Air Force roared
eastward for new blows at the Nazi
concentration points along the coast.
Bombs were dropped near Calais
and Cap Griz Nez Lighthouse, where
two big German coastal batteries
were firing.
The Air Ministry reported that
despite fog and unfavorable flying
conditions over Germany, some
military objectives" there were
bombed, in addition to heavy at
tacks" on the coastal bases.
In a later, expanded commun1que,
the ministry said:
Targets included oil plants fac
tories and docks at Kiel, Hamburg,
Bremerhaven, Wesermunde and
Wilhelmshaven Several enemy air
dromes were also bombed.
"Our offensive against the Chan
mel ports from Rotterdam to Cher
bourg was continued. All our air

Although London, as usual, bore
the brunt of the overnight air raids
on England, IL other districts were
attacked. A communique said these
were in Scotland, wales, Northwest.

ABOARD PRESID VITAL
TRAIN IN OHIO, Oct. 12.-If crowds
and cheers in October mean votes
in November, President Roosevelt
has Pennsylvania and Ohio ''in
the bag" today.
If they stay there, and from this
spot there are no signs they want
to go elsewhere, it means 81 healthy
electoral votes next month.
Since 9 o'clock yesterday morning
this caravan has resembled nothing
so much as a bandwagon with an
unlimited capacity for passengers
Starting with Johnstown and going
to Seward, Pittsburgh, Youngstown
Akron, Columbus, plus every whistle
stop and railroad yard in between
there have been capacity crowds anc
happy hollering.
Not the least happy, incidentally
have been the dozen or more candi-
dates for one thing or another who
have scrambled on and off the spe-
cial train for presidential benedic-
ton.
100000 Line Streets.
AS for the purely spectator par
ticipants, in Pittsburgh, heart OF
the Nations greatest industrial area
and key city in Pennsylvania politics
as well as in the building of arms for
defense, the Secret Service esti.
mated that between 100000 and $780,
900 persons lined 20 miles of streets
yesterday to wave "the Chief" their
good wishes.
For metropolitan area that
counts approximately a million
people, the estimate does not seem
unduly high. Not many people were
staying at home yesterday.
1t was a demonstration that paled
Mr.. Roosevelt's reception in Phila-
delphia three weeks ago and made
the carefully staged Albany rally OF
last Monday night positively apa-
thetic. And from the temper and
the conduct of the crowd, it was
obvious that they meant it.
If they're still smiling when car
Is goes by, they mean it," one wit
cracked and they were probably
still smiling when car 80 passed.
Little wonder that Senator Joe
Guffey, one of the States several
Democratic bosses, was radiating
good will in the Pittsburgh station
as he left the presidential party In
midafternoon. And ditto for David
l.. Lawrence, national committee
man with whom Senator Guffey had
just concluded a feud-at least until
after November S.
Police Lines Trampled.
Moving into Ohio, the President
was received at Youngstown by a
smaller crowd, perhaps only 125 ,000
but they poured it on without any
inhibitions, at one point on Main
street, a main thoroughfare as wide
at least as Pennsylvania avenue, the
crowd trampled down the police
lines and threatened to sweep right
into the Presidents car. 1t took
mounted police and some daredevil
motoreycling to clear up that sit
uation-but still they were smiling

attempt to come to terms with Cen

So far, it is believed, these peace
attempts have come to nothing, but
there is apparently no question about
the fact that the Japanese have had
definite propositions to make and
that they really mean business.
The patent purpose of this strange
Oriental peace move is to establish
sufficiently stable and pacific situ-
