 Although the regular communique for the first time since Oct. 2 re- ported "no essential changes on the fronts" military dispatches said the battle before Budapest had reached fierce proportions" as the Germans made an 11th hour at tempt to halt Marshal Rodion Y. nkaIinoysky'S 2nd Ukrainian Army.
 German reports also spoke Of '.fierce" fighting at Budapest but claimed that Nazi panzer forces had hampered the Soviet drive by cut ting the supply line between Buda- pest and Kecskemet, 43 miles to the southeast.

Whip Issues
 Senote Call

Washington, Nov. 7-(UP)-Sen- ate Republican whip Kenneth s. Wherry, Neb., today sent letters to 37 Republican members urging their speedy return on Nov. IA to consid- CT four important pieces of legis- lation, including renewal of the presidents extraordinary wartime powers.
 Wherry listed the bills which must be passed before the end of the session as follows:
 l. Extention of the war powers act, which expires Dec. 31. A bit- ter fight is expected to be made over the extension once again of executive war powers. The act gives the president wartime authority over transportation and power to acquire and dispose of property, maintain priorities, negotiate war contracts and audit and inspect contracts.
 2. Extension of the period dur ing which Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short, Pearl Harbor commanders on Dec. 2, 1941, may be tried for neg ligence. This extension, expected to be introduced by Sen. Homer Ferguson, R., Mich, would continue the waiver of the statute of lmita- tions on the trials of Kimnel and short passed earlier this year
 3. River and harbor improve ments: this bill authorizes the ap- propriation for the construction oi 285 navigation projects to be built after the war by the corps of army engineers. It is expected the larger projects will take from three tc five years to build and will give post war employment to thousands Most controversial project in the bill is the Great LakeS-St. Lawrence Seaway.
 4. Flood control: This House ap- proved bill, to which the Senate has added number of projects, calls for the total authorization of $995, O13,070 for the development of flood control works, hydro-electric power irrigation and water pollution con- trol projects.
 Debate on this bill has been marked by a jurisdictional quarrel between the bureau of reclamation and the army engineers over such important river basins as the Mis- souri River and Central Valley, Cal ifornia. The quarrel is expected te be aired on the Senate floor by the irrigation" and flood control Senators,

 New York, Nov. 7-(UP) Voting Americans today are determining the complexion of the Senate which will be called upon to ratify the peace treaty marking the end of World War IT and to decide the ex- tent of American participation in a postwar international cooperative organization.
 Thirty-five Senate seats are at stake in today's ballotting- While the Republicans themselves did not expect to win control of the upper house, they are confident that they are picking up five or six new mem bers to add to their present 37. If they do-and indications as the polls opened were that they would-the Republicans will have at least A Senators, seven shor of majority. However, with the help of anti-new deal Democrats, th~ Senate COP could come pretty close to determ- ming the kind treaties which the nation would make with other pow CTS.
 The Senate race is being watched iutently today because it was that body which, 24 years ago and under similar circumstances, scuttled the League of Nations and refused to ratify the Versailles peace treaty.
 While 35 seats are being fought for at the polls, 36 Senators are be- ing elected. Indiana is electing one Senator to serve only until next Jan. 3 in the seat vacated by the resig- nation of Sen. Samuel w. Jackson, D., to Iun for governor. That state is electing a second senator to take that office then for the full term Ill the 18th congress.
 The senate now has 58 Democrats, 37 Republicans, and Progressive.
 Seventeen candidates are expected to be elected wit: little opposition because they are from states tradi- tionally Democratic or Republicans, or because of their great personal popularity. Ten of these are Demo- crats-Sens. Walter F. George, Ga; John H. Overton, La; Lister Hill, Ala; Carl Hayden, Ariz.; Claude Pepper, Fla; Millar.! E. Tydings, Md, and Pat McCarran, New; j.. William Fulbright, Ark; Clyde R. Hoey, N. C., and Olin D. Johnston
 Seven are Republicans Sens. Eugene D. Millikin, Colo; Clyde M. Reed, Kan; Charles W. Tobey, N. H.; Chan Gurney, s. D.; George D.. Aiken, Vt, and Alexander Wiley, Wis, and Leverett Saltonstall, Mass.
 Fifteen senatorial races are doubt fui including Connecticut, Califor- nia, Illinois, New York, North Da- kcta, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah and Idaho.

And if around midnight there is a clear trend of his victory, the loyal Democrats of predominantly Re- publican Duchess County will or- ganize torch light parade and weave through the Presidents es- tate to give him their personal con- gratulations.
 Last night Election eve - the President returned to his house af- ter an afternoon tour of the Hud- son valley to shed his fur-collared great coat and broadcast an appeal for vote of 50,000,000 to prove the Democratic process in this coun- try and resultantly assure a lasting peace.
 Talking to voters over a nation wide radio nookup, the President said when the ballots are cast, your responsibilities do not cease. The public servants you elect cannot fulfill their trust unless you, the people, watch and advise them, raise your voices in protest when you be- lieve your public servants to be wrong, back them up when you be- lieve them to be right"
 MT. Roosevelt also read an Epis- copal prayer asking God to give us light to. guide us, courage to SUD- port us, charity to unite Us, now and forever more,"

Of the regions 40 electoral votes, prediction forecasters conceded only the three of traditionally-Re- publican Vermont.
 Massachusetts, Democratic in 1940 was the greatest question mark and expected to be the scene of the closest fight. Both presidential can- didates sought the favor of the states 100000 voters and 16 elec- toral votes in campaign windup speeches at Boston last week.
 Maine Republicans predicted their state would follow the result of the September barometer" state elec- ton which swept COP candidates into all important ofnces. Maine has five electoral votes.

(COntlnued rom Page l) today in district 3-5. She is Mrs. Florence Coughlin.
 Attention ladies! It has been esti- mated that you will cast 60 to 65 per cent of the votes today. That's a lot of responsibility.
 There are 32 polling places in Waterbury, but there are 130,000 in the nation. They all opened at 6 a. m. but some won't close until II D. m., Waterbury's close at 8 p. m.
 About 954,174 persons in 139 Con- necticut towns will be eligible to vote today. This is registration increase of 82,455. About 34,770 ab- sentee soldier ballots are expected out of a total of 71,921.
 The voting appeared heavier than usual at g a. m. this morning. Lines occasionally punched up at the checkers tables during the hours between g. m. and 9 a. m. but generally the voting procedure was smooth and orderly. One machine in district 2-3 was found to have two Republican labels-one on the top and one on the second lever.
 State officials throughout the na- tion predict between a A million and 46 million vote, with estimates by others ranging to 50 million. These state officials have estimated also 3,462 000 absentee service vote. The weather was clear and crisp today. Normally it is said that rainy weather is Democratic weather which usually proves so. However. the opposite seldom applies.
 Not as many candidate banners and streamers were in evidence this election as in previous years. Both the gas shortage and shortage of such materials seemed to be the cause.
 A lot of electors seemed deter mined looking this morning on en- tering the polls. Wonder what it means? Odds are that Roosevelt will be reelected. It will seem odder if he isn't.
 CIO Political Action Committee members were active today working in collaboration with some Demo- cratic workers in affordlng transpor- tation, checking lists, etc.
 This is THE big test for the P.A.C. If they are overwhelmingly successful they will be quite an in- fiuence locally and otherwise on political affairs.
 Activities at Democrtaic and Re- publican state headquarters were heavy all day today while party workers manned the 32 headquar- ters located at each polling area and set up by each party.
 The 21 registered voters of tiny rural Nutbush precinct of Vance county voted unanimously today for President Roosevelt.
