vofeIess Citizens
Plan Torch Parade
On Avenue Tonight
Two Purties Join
In Demonstration on
Plight Of Capital

Election fever will blaze up
in downtown Washington to-
neighbours before the polls
open-as voteleSs residents stage
a torchlight procession down
Pennsylvania avenue.
On the eve of the national cleo
tions, District Republicans and
Democrats will join the parade
to protest the fact that the Dis
trict is the only place IN the
Nation where citizens have no
vote.
The parade will start at z
o'clock at Fourth street NV.
and travel up Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the White House.
Leading the show will be a 30
foot float showing Mrs. Voteless
D. c." in a powdered wig and
locked in the stocks. The CO.
lonial costume will symbolic the
"antiquated" suffrage status of
the city. The stocks will keep
the lady from reaching a ballot
box in front Of her.
Parading behind her will be
members Of the Young Republi-
cans and Young Democrats. the
League of Women Voters, the
Home Rule Committee, the Dis
trict Industrial Union Council
(CIO), the Washington Central
Labor Union (AFL) and the
B'nai Birth.
Parade officials say Federal
employees who want to join the
throng can do so without fear
of Hatch Act reprisals. They
say a Civil Service Commission
ruling specifically allows activity
on behalf of District suffrage.
Tomorrow, the float will carry
Mrs. Voteless D. c." to Capitol
Hill to petition District Com
mittee representatives and then
to the District Building at 1915
pm. to present another petition
to the Commissioners.

Child Dies, 7 Other,
Burned Critically as
Fire Sweeps Home
Mother Leaps to Sofety
After BIuze Sturts
From Coal Stove

One child was burned to death
and two others critically injured
in fire that swept a two-story
brick row house at 1918 One
half street Sc. today.
Possibly fatal injuries were
suffered by the other two despite
heroic efforts on the part OF
their mother and two firemen
The latter plunged into the
blazing building and pulled them
from an upstairs bedroom.
Taken to Casualty Hospital
were Carol Simmons, 4. and her
brothers, Kermit, 2, and Keith, 4
months, the children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Simmons. Carol
died a short time later. All are
colored.
The fire started about 8:15
am. when Mrs. Simmons lighted
a coal stove in the kitchen and
went upstairs. Shortly she
smelled smoke, and knew the
place was aflre.
Fails to Arouse Children.
She went into the front room
where the children were sleeping
and tried to arouse them. But
the fire spread so rapidly she was
forced to leap into the arms of a
man who helped break the fall.
Five engine companies and
two truck companies answered
a box and telephone alarm. Bat
talon Chief Alfred M. Grunwell
directed operations.
Learning the children were
trapped, Pvt. Warren jackson of
Engine Co. Z and Pvt. Earl
O'Neal of truck company 10,
both colored, donned gas masks
and pushed into the home.
Reach Children.
They reached the children and
passed them through a window
to other f1remen on ladders. The
children were taken to the hos
pital in a rescue squad ambu-
lance.
Hospital attendants said the
fire did not reach the victims,
but that they were exposed to
intense heat.
The house was badly damaged
downstairs, the back and middle
rooms being burned out. The
children's father. a District
street sweeper, was at work at
the time.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The
Navy threw 200 planes and Is
surface craft into a wide-ranging
search today for big Navy
transport aircraft missing over
the Atlantic with AZ persons
aboard. The Lockheed Super
Constellation had not been heard
from since late Saturday night
on a flight from Patuxent River

via the Azores.

tenants have been able to sell
their peace and communism
issues better than the idea that
the President has to have a Re-
publican Congress. Democrats
still expect to cash in on unem-
ployment and lower farm in
comes.
That's the outlook now, on the
basis of spot checks today.
With the promised vote of In
dependent Wayne Morse of
Oregon, the Democrats need a
net gain of only two seats to
control the Senate in the 84th
Congress They can take over
the House with a gain of three
seats. And the pattern for half
a century usually has been for
the party in power to lose House
and Senate strength in a nom
presidential election year.
There still are signs that the
usual off-year trend may be in
the cards.
While the real answer to what
is happening in the final skirm-
ishing along the political firing
lines will appear only in the
ballot boxes tomorrow, even some
Democratic leaders concede the
G. O. P has made last minute
headway.
Whether or not it has changed
the actual complexion of election
contests, the evident Republican
splurge at least appears to have
strengthened G. o. P. chances
further in States where the party
was ahead and closed some of
the gaps in areas in which the
Republicans were considered
trailing.
In some places, it seems to
have cut down Democratic
prospects of picking up House
seats.
Tightens Key Races.
All across the Nation, it ap-
pears to have frightened key
races for Senate and Cover
nor's seats-not in all States
but in such ones as:
Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
New York, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia in the East;
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Kentucky in the Midwest and
on the border: Colorado,
Montana, Idaho. Oregon and
Arizona in the far West. In
Arizona, polls and opinions of
political experts indicate there
has been a switch and Ernest
w. Mcfarland, former Demo-
cratic leader of the United
States Senate, now is running
second to Republican incumbent
Howard Pyle for Governor.
But in Ohio, where the G. o. P.
hopes to gain a Senate seat,
there were belated signs the
Democrats might be inching up,
even though this was one of
the States Gen. Eisenhower
picked for a last minute cam
paign appearance. There it's
Democratic incumbent Thomas
A. Burke against Republican
Representative George H. Bender.
Kentucky now may be a tossup,
although there is general feel
ing that former Vice President
Alben w. Barkley still is likely
to knock over G.. O. p. Senator
John Sherman Cooper and re-
turn to the Senate. Gen. Eisen-
hover showed up in Kentucky
last week, too.

The Weather Bureau in New
York said water temperature,
in the search area ranged from

men aboard because the plane
was carrying an extra complete
crew to the Azores to pick ur
another plane.
The plane was last heard from
at II pm. Saturday, two hours
after it had taken of from
Patuxent. At the time it was
800 miles at sea.
The ill-fated flight was the
second attempt made by those
aboard to get to the Azores and
Port Lyautey in Africa. The
Navy said they had taken of
earlier Saturday in another
plane, but had to turn back 212
hours later when the plane de-
veloped trouble. They trans
ferred to the now missing plane
and started out again.
Flight Report Not Received.
Search for the plane started
early yesterday after shore bases
failed to receive the regular
hourly flight report. The oper-
alton is being directed from
headquarters of the Eastern Sea
Frontier in New York.
Navy officials said the plane
had only enough fuel to stay in
the air until 10 am. yesterday.
BY evening they announced that
1t was presumed lost" But the
search continued after dark,
with planes carrying special
electronic equipment for night
search.
The Navy still hoped to find
survivors of the flight. The miss
ing plane, it said, was equipped
with five life RATS, each designed
to hold 20 men. There were also
102 life preservers aboard.
False Hope Raised.
False hope was raised when a
signal flare was seen last night
in the search area. The Navy
later reported that the flare had
come from a submarine on fleet
maneuvers. ALI ships in the area
were Immediately ordered to re-
lease no more flares during the
remainderaof the search.

Reports of Auto Windshield Damage
 Discounted by Pacific NV Scientists

SEATTLE, LR Pacific North west residents who have been re- porting a mysterious wave of automobile windshield damage were faced with a report by a committee of scientists that said in effect, Tt isn't so."
 The scientists, all from the Uni versity of Washington physics, chemistry and meteorology de- partments, qualified their denial slightly, but said:
 ''The most likely explanation at this moment is that the pitting is the result of normal driving conditions in which small objects strike the windshields of cars"
 They reported on a survey of automobiles parked in sheltered and unsheltered areas and said the number of observable pits in w WOIoS1l1OlOS OO1C Nll1 CSI 1O1o- tionship to the age of the car and it's mileage. They called attention to damage being almost entirely confined to windshields and not the rear windows.
 "While this initial conclusion appears consistent with the facts that have reached us," they said, i've recognize that all observa- tions may not be completely ex- plained
 This last statement left room for the possibility of vandalism in many automobiles. particularly those in Bellingham, Wash. where police officials say windshields suffered unmistakable damage.
