SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Nov o.
Final returns from Tuesdays elec-
ton showed yesterday that the new
Popular Democratic party had
elected a majority of the Puerto
Rican Senate, but the Republican,
Socialist coalition now dominant in
the island retained control of the
House and reelected its resident
commissioner to Washington.
Three were killed and Is injured
during the balloting, which was
watched over by special supervisors
appointed by Gov. William D. Leahy.
The vote by parties. upsetting the
earlier claim of the "Populares"
that they would sweep the entire
field. was 215,130 for the coalition,
BOG 405 for the Popular Democrats
and 127 ,467 for three minor parties.
Taking 10 of the 19 seats in the
Senate, the new party-the party of
the "Jibaros," small farmers-won
the right TO elect the president of
the Senate, who ranks in Puerto
Rican officialdom next to the Gov
ernor, who is appointed by the
United States President.

Donnell Still Holds Edge
In Close Missouri Ruce
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-Forrest C..
Donnell, a Republican, clung dogged-
ly to tisSue-thin lead for the GOV
ernorship of Missouri last night as
county officials licked off absentee
ballots under the watchful eyes of
Democrat and Republican chal-
lengers.
AS the returns trickled in from
last Tuesdays election his Demo-
cratic opponent, Lawrence E. Nc
Daniel, sliced a vote away here and
there, but Mr.. Donnell still held an
unofficial majority of 1924 votes.
The latest bulation-including
the absentee vote in 78 of Missouri's
ia counties-gave Mr.. Donnell
908,349 and Mr.. Mcdaniel 904, ,125.
Mr.. Mcdaniel was carrying the alb
sentee ballots by around SIS per cent.
That trend, if continued, would be
insufficient to overhaul the Republic
can unless the total absentee vote
was abnormally large.

Distress Call Is Heard

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Mackay
Radio last night INTERCEPTED an sos
stating that the British steamer
Ridley, $40 miles off st. Vincent,
was on fire and requires immediate
ASSISTANCE"
Mackay Radio said the Ridley did
not give its exact position and, pre-
sumably, was $40 miles off the Cape
Verde Islands.
Lloyds Register lists the Ridley as
having a gross tonnage of 4,933. She
was built in 1887 and her home port
is Newcastle.
Mackay Radio assumed the ship
meant st. Vincent, Cape Verde Is
lands, although there are several
other st. Vincents on and near the

$3.50 Arms Formula
Would Give Britain
13FIying Fortresses
Mid-November Delivery
Expected, With n More
By EorIy Spring
By JOSEPH S. EDGERTON.

Strict application of President
Roosevelt's $3.50 formula governing
the division Of new war supplies
between the United States and Great
Britain to November manufacturers
would mean the ALLEGATION to Eng
land of approximately 13 of the
newest type Boeing Flying Fortress
bombardment airplanes-enough for
one full squadron with one spare.
The Boeing Aircraft Co., Seattle,
now is engaged in the production
of 38 B-17C our-engined bombers
of the Flying Fortress type. Twelve
of these airplaneS were delivered
during October, and the remaining
26 are to be delivered by the middle
of November under present sched-
ules.
Next month Boeing will begin pro-
duction of a more advanced model
the B-17D, and is scheduled to build
AZ airplanes of this type before the
end of March. Application of the
new formula would give England a
total of "a of the big bombers by
early spring, therefore, apart from
any ALLEGATIONS they might receive
of Flying Fortress bombers now in
service.
81 Others in Army Service.
The Army Air Corps today has a
total of So Fortresses of the Bit,
B-l7A and B-17B series in actual
service, not including the u "C's"
delivered last month.
The B-17C and B-17D models are
being delivered under the terms of
a single War Department contract
for 80 of the big Boeing bombers.
After completion of this contract
next spring the rapidly growing Boe-
ing plant at Seattle will pause to
catch its breath and convert it's new
production line for a still later
model, the BITE, which will 60
into production next April or May
on a real line production basis,
which will make several hundred of
the giant warplanes available before
the end of the 1912 fiscal year.
The proposal to turn Flying Fort
reSS b0nlberS over TO England has
created nearly as bitter a dispute
among American defense experts as
did the assignment to Britain of so
OVpr9op dpctrOynrS
Designed for U. S. Defense.
1t was argued that the Flying
Fortresses, designed particularly to
meet unique American defense re-
quirements, could not be spared
without the sacrifice of American
air power to a dangerous degree.
The Flying Fortress was designed
particularly to be used in beating
off any attempted enemy invasion
far at sea or to break up an at
tempted hostile landing anywhere
in the Western Hemisphere. No
other airplane available today COM
bmes both the range and the strik-
ing power necessary for such mis-
sions, it is contended.
The big four-engined bombers are
needed more than ever at present
to train crews for the fleets of super
bombers which are scheduled for
delivery during the coming year or
two, defense leaders have argued.
No military airplane ever has been
produced for the Army which re-
quires such concentrated crew train
ing or such teamwork for efficient
operation. it is said. 1t is Army
practice to reserve the command Of
Flying Fortress crew for veterans

Italian Press Attacks
Swiss for Failure
To Halt British
Neutral Nation Replies
Thot Axis Cont Stop
Planes Over France
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Nov. 9.-Italy
turned the wrath of her press and
radio on troubled Switzerland today
for alleged indifference" to the
flight of British bombing planes over
neutral Swiss territory en- route to
italian objectives.
But, asked some Swiss newspapers,
if the axis cannot stop British night
raiders in their three-hour flight
over German-occupied territory,
how can the Swiss be blamed for not
halting them when they are over
Swiss territory only half an hour?
The italian complaints came al
most simultaneously with prolonged
air raid alarms last night in Bern,
Geneva and other Swiss cities.
The Swiss high command charged
in communique today that British
warplanes had violated Swiss air
space many times" during the
night flying southeastward over the
Italian frontier.

ers has leSSened somewhat however,
since the theater of the European
war began shifting this fall. 1t now
is recognized that England can use
such long-range bombers far more
effectively today than she could
earlier in the war, when the Royal
Air Force was concentrating on tar
gets along the German-occupied
Channel coast, with Berlin as the
maximum range.
Today, with the war shifting to
the Mediterranean and Africa, the
need for British bombers with in
creased range and striking power
has become manifest. The Ameri-
can Flying Fortress might be the
answer to a number of British prob
lens in connection with the spread
of hostilities.

This pledge is just as important
to the farmer as it is to the factory
worker or the businessman. And I
know how to fulfill it,
He then proposed two steps to
open up larger outlets for farm
commodities. First, he advocated
increased Government research to
develop new uses for agricultural
products in industry.
Second, he declared, that even in
spite of the war, I'VE must adopt
a far-sighted foreign trade policy
to take advantage of every sound
opportunity for the restoration OF
those vital foreign markets"
He did not mention the reciprocal
trade treaty program by name and
admitted that the restoration of for
eign markets may have to be worked
out gradually. He promised, how
ever. to take advantage OF every
opportunity to that end"
He summed up his views on agri-
