ELECTIONS TODAY WATCHED FOR CLUE TO RACES IN 1940 Victors in New York and New Jersey Likely to Be Pushed for Presidency. 22,600 IN ANTI-FRAUD ARMY WATCH POLLS C. I. 0. Seeks to Elect Candidate as Detroit Mayor and Con trol City Council. By the Associated Press. Personalities rather than national Issues dominated today's off-year elec tions to the extent that some of the winners may receive consideration as 1940 presidential timber. Political observers mentioned three men especially in that connection: Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York, seeking re-election with the backing of an unusual coalition of Re publicans, Laborites, Socialists and Communists. United States Senator A. Harry Moore and State Senator Lester H. Clee, contesting for the governorship of New Jersey. Moore, a Democrat, has been Governor twice. Clee, a Repub lican, is a Presbyterian minister. In New York an army of anti-fraud election watchers, 22,600 strong, mobilized at polling places today as the vanguard of voters marked their choices. Widespread talk of vote stealing, aired by candidates of both camps in the five-borough election, led to the posting of 18,000 police. 3,50u special deputy attorneys general and I, 100 volunteers, mostly lawyers. Ten arrests in connection with the hotly disputed election were recorded within three hours after the polls opened. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine said applications for 2,075 warrants had been made. Illegal reg istration was charged. A total of 7,437 registrants already had been dis qualified. Mayor La Guardia made a personal all-day tour of the city’s 3,910 election districts to look for any evidence of “strong-arm'' intimidation. Voters were selecting Mayors in more than 30 cities, Legislatures in five States, a Governor in Virginia and four Representatives to fill vacancies in New York and Virginia. Roosevelt Takes No Sides. Opposing La Guardia was Jeremiah T. Mahoney, running on a Democratic ticket with the support of Tammany Hall, Democratic Chairman James A. Farley, Gov. Herbert Lehman and Senator Robert F. Wagner. Both candidates are supporters of President Roosevelt. The President, voting at his family home in Hyde Park, N. Y„ has taken no sides. Special Rackets Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey, La Guardia man and a Republican, opposes Harold W. Hast ings, Tammany candidate, for district attorney of New York County. A ma jority of New York newspapers pre dicted victory for both La Guardia and Dewey. Tha vnfiner_fnllnn'ini* » nicipal registration of 2,483,387—was carried on under the eyes of thousands of police. The polls opened at 6 a.m. (E. S. T.) and will close 12 hours later. Barton Runs for Congress. Bruce Barton, advertising executive End Republican, was running for Rep resentative of the 17th “silk stock ing” district, New York County, against Stanley Osserman, Democrat, and George Backer, American Labor nominee, for the seat left vacant by the death of T. A. Peyser. Control of the New York Board of Estimate, one of the two governing bodies of the city, was at stake in the election of a controller, presi dents of the five boroughs and presi dent of the City Council who, with the Mayor, constitute the board. The La Guardia forces won control of the board four years ago but lost it last year when Prank J. Taylor, Tammany candidate, was elected controller. Taylor is opposed in the present elec tion by Joseph D. McGoldrick, Fusion lst. The city voted also for a City Council replacing the present Board of Alder men, councilmen being chosen by pro portional representation, which is being 111 New Yortc for the first time. P.

About 400,000 Workers Would Be Af fected, Disclosure of Study Shoivs. By J. RUSSELL YOUNG. To grant a five-day work week for all Federal employes would cost the Government between <60,000.000 and $100,000,000 a year more than it la paying its employes now, a high Fed eral authority said today. This has not been revealed however, to President Roosevelt, who recently requested the Budget Bureau and the Civil Service Commission to make a thorough study of the subject in an effort to ascertain what the increase in Government costs would be if a five-day work week were put into effect. The Budget Bureau turned the mat^ ter over to the Civil Service Commis sion. and the latter has not yet made a report. The commission declined to make any comment upon this ad vance disclosure. It is understood, the additional cost of the five-day week would vary in the different departments and agen cies. The study so far has shown the increase would be as low-es 5 per cent in some and as high as 10 per cent in others. Therefore, it is figured that the average increase would be between 6 and 7 per cent of the total budget for personnel. It has been estimated by those familiar with present conditions that 350.000 to 400,000 of the more than 840.000 Federal employes would be affected. Already, more than 200,000 postal employes are on a five-day week, and so are workers in several other Government agencies. On the other hand, however, there are groups whose duties are such that, in their case, a shorter work week would not be feasible. Granting of a five-day week would mean a 35-hour week for employes. The great majority^ of Federal em (See YOUNG, Page A-3J D. C. Court Holds Woman Who Was Taken Abroad Years Ago Retains Rights. In a ruling believed to affect thou sands of persons, both in the United States and in foreign lands. Justice Jennings Bailey of District Court held today that a New York woman, born in the United States 30 years ago, but taken to Sweden by her parents when a child, still is an American citizen. The decision concerned Miss Marie Elizabeth Elg, who was born in New York City October 2, 1907. Her par ents, both natives of Sweden, had be come naturalized Americans in 1906. The girl lived in this country until she was 4, when her mother returned to Sweden, taking her along. The father stayed here, however, until 1922, when he also returned to their homeland. By operation of law and treaty re lating to returning persons of Swedish birth, both parents automatically be came Swedish subjects after two years’ residence there: May Mean War Appeals. Justice Bailey’s decision was viewed with concern by Federal officials, who fear that persons in similar situations in nations at war may appeal to this Government for protection from con scription. It was said at the State Department that hundreds of persons in Mi^s Elg’s position are now in Spain, China, Ja pan and other nations seething with military activity. When Miss Elg was 22, she returned to the United States under a passport issued by an American Vice Consul in Sweden as an American citizen. No question of her citizenship was raised until 1934, w^hen she asked im migration authorities for an opinion as to her status. An investigation en sued, and she was informed she was not a citizen of this country. Meanwhile an application for a passport was re fused on the ground she was not an American. As a result she filed suit here, through Attorney Henry F. Butler, to enjoin the Labor Department from de porting her and for a declaration that she was an American citizen. Court Upholds Rights. “I do not think that the fact that her father may have become a citizen of Sweden can deprive her of her rights as a native-born citizen of the United States, even though under the laws of Sweden she may be treated in that country as a citizen of it,” Justice Bailey declared in overruling a motion to dismiss the suit. Miss Elg also had asked the court to compel Secretary of State Hull to issue her the passport. This, how ever, the court refused to do. Justice Bailey said the case was one of a class “for which a declaratory judgment is eminently suited.” Chief Assistant United States At torney David A. Pine said he would take the case to the Court of Appeals, since Justice Bailey’s ruling may mean that all persons facing deportation will have recourse to the courts here rather than the jurisdictions in which they are situated, thereby increasing the congestion in the District’s already overcrowded judicial machinery.

Preparatory to swinging into action, House and Senate committees have drafted tentative farm legislation. Mean time. administration plans speedy assistance to corn growers through program of lifting prices by loans per bushel. By the Associated Press. Informed officials at the Agriculture Department said today the Govern ment would lend 50 cents a bushel on this year's com crop. These informants said details of the loan program would be announced by Secretary Wallace within a few days. They said the program would corre spond in general to previous Govern ment corn loans. The 50-cent loan will be made on com sealed on the farm, testing 14 }4 per cent moisture content or less. Fanners Ask 6t Cents. Farm organizations had asked a 60 cent-a-bushel loan on this year's crop, and Secretary Wallace said a loan of I about 46 cents would correspond to I the 9-cent-a-pound Government loan on this year’s cotton crop. President Roosevelt paved the way yesterday for the loan by ordering financial machinery set up by the Re ; construction Finance Corp. The first administration corn loan | on the 1933 crop was at 45 cents a j bushel, well above market prices at the time. Government agencies ad vanced $120,000,000 on the 1933 crop. A loan of 55 cents a bushel was made on the 1934 crop, which was cut short by drought. A total of $11,000,000 was advanced on this loan. Rate Reduced on 1935 Crop. The rate was reduced to 45 cents a bushel on the 1935 crop and a total of $13,000,000 advanced to farmers. The 1936 program was aimed at conserving seed corn supplies. Agriculture Department spokesmen said about $85,000,000 would be pro vided shortly by the Commodity Credit Corp. for the new corn loans. This would permit Ipans on about 170,000,000 bushels. Meanwhile, the House Agriculture __1.1 . A -W...W.WV vuiu|iicw;u » IcmtUlVC draft of a broad crop control bill, minus the controversial marketing quotas. Members of the committee, hasten ing work on the bill, were so divided over marketing restrictions that they voted to remove them for the time being before sending the first draft to the printers. The general regulatory provisions of the tentative measure were described as having been designed primarily for cotton, wheat and rice on a voluntary basis. The committee virtually has agreed on separate, compulsory control for tobacco, based on a system of market ing quotas and stiff penalties Imposed on purchases of tobacco sold in excess of the quotas. Some committee members said the tentative elimination of marketing quotas for other crops was caused largely by opposition from Cotton State representatives. Chairman Fulmer of the Cotton Subcommittee has voiced his disapproval. Mr. Roosevelt telegraphed Chairman Jesse H. Jones of the R. F, C. that he had been considering Commodity Credit Corp. loans, including com loans, Aggregating about $85,000,000. The President asked that the R. F. C. be prepared to make the necessary advances, pending legislation, to give the Commodity Credit Corp. “ample capital and authority to raise the funds necessary for its operations through the sale of its own obligation."

DINNER NOVEMBER 12 AT BRITISH EMBASSY Ambassador and Lady Lindsay to Entertain—Other Details of Itinerary Unannounced. B.v PHYLLIS THOMPSON, Society Editor of The Star. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Britain's abdicated monarch and his American-born bride, will be received by President Roosevelt and will be en tertained by 8ir Ronald Lindsay, Brit ish Ambassador to the United States, and Lady Lindsay during their brief visit in Washington next week, it was disclosed today. Details of their American tour, dur ing which the Duke plans to inspect housing conditions and housing con struction projects throughout the country, were discussed today in a conference between Ambassador Lind say and Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles. The announcement that the Windsors will be entertained at dinner at the British Embassy on the evening of November 12, the day after their scheduled arrival in New York, was made this morning by Lady Lindsay. Stay Here to Be Brief. After his meeting with Mr. Welles today. Ambassador Lindsay said no definite itinerary for the visiting couple has yet been arranged. Their Wash ington visit, it was learned, will be about 36 hours. It was learned authoritatively, ac cording to the Associated Press, that President Roosevelt has given personal orders that the Protocol Section of the State Department assist in making any arrangements the Windsors desire for inspection of Government housing projects, in which the Duke is espe cially interested. In fulfilling these orders George T. Summerlin, chief of the Protocol Divi sion, will go to New York to meet the royal couple and accompany them to Washington November 11. How long they will remain in New York before proceeding to the Capital, what other sections of the country they may visit and other details were not revealed. It likewise was hot made known where the Duke and Duchess w-iU stay during their day and a half sojourn here. Lady Lindsay, following the estab lished custom in connection with such affairs at the British Embassy, did not disclose either the number or the iden tity of other guests invited for the dinner on November 12. ura«lr. a_a.a*. . ” --- »• «l»vvuu»MWU. Today's announcement puts an end to weeks of speculation as to Just when the Windsors were to arrive here and what would be the nature of their reception. For the past week had been fraught with such conjecture and the wires had been so hot between the British Embassy, State Department and the houses of those persons who “might be in the know,” that some slight doubt had arisen that perhaps Wash ington was to be dented even a glimpse of the former King Edward VIII, who as Prince of Wales was so popular on his last trip here. November 12 no doubt will be an Interesting and thrilling night at the Embassy, for undoubtedly the Duke of Windsor still holds a warm spot in the hearts of members of the staff. One cannot help but wonder what his feelings will be as he ascends the great wide stairway of the Imposing mansion on Massachusetts avenue and looks above to find peering down upon him the eyes of the late Queen Vic toria, his grandfather, Edward VII, his father, George V, and his mother, the dowager Queen, who still in the minds of many remains the ideal of the Queen. Perhaps it was a fortunate thing that the portrait of the Duke of Windsor when he was King of Eng land never reached America and was hung in the space allotted for him in that hallway at the Embassy, for prob ably it would have had to be taken down when he left the throne to marry an American and a divorced woman. The portrait of the present monarch, George VI, has not yet been received here. As plans took shape for the Wind sors’ activities in America, their clo.:e friend, Charles Bedaux, preceded them by landing in New York on the Europa yesterday.
