Another third is still waiting at

Democrats Charge
Fraud in 2 States
(Copyright. 1938, by International New» Service)
Bitter charges of fraud in the congressional campaigns were
hurled today as Democratic and Republican leaders redoubled
efforts in their fight to control the House.
Fraudulent registration and il
legal use of money formed the
basis of charges made by both
sides. Predictions of “national
scandals” were made.
The Democratic Congressional
Committee planned to file a con

Republicans succeed in capturing

The Democrats charge wholesale
illegal registrations and raising of
“slush funds” in both Delaware
and Rhode Island.
Republicans claimed to have un

Democrats claimed to have es
tablished thousands of illegal reg
istrations in Wilmington, Del.
They assert that, in one instance,
27 persons were registered from a
dilapidated, unused house.
“We know that the usual padded
registration lists are as bad, or
worse, than they ever were in
Wilmington,” said Capt. Victor
Harding, secretary of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign
Committee.
“Action will be taken regardless
of the results of the election. Suf
ficient evidence already has been
gathered to invalidate the elec
tion of any Republican.
“In Rhode Island the Republic
ans are dumping money in bucket

legal registrations and illegal ex

ARMY BATTLES
NOTRE DAME
BEFORE 80,000
Betting Is 9 to 5 on
Fighting Irish
By LEWIS BURTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 29 (1.N.5.).
Eighty thousand football fans
braved the threat of rain today
to see a great Army team battle
the fighting Irish from Notre
Dame in their silver anniversary
meeting.
Notre Dame took an unbeaten
record into the game. Victories
over Kansas. Georgia Tech, Illi
nois and Carnegie Tech have
taken the Irish half way along
the road to an unbeaten season,
and the betting was 9 to 5 that
they would remain unbeaten
today.
FEARS FUMBLES
The full corps of Kaydets was
on hand to lend vocal and moral
support to their fighting buddies
on the field.
Coach Elmer Layden was par
ticularly concerned over fumbling
by Notre Dame backs. The Irish
fumbled frequently in previous
games and when Layden saw the
soggy condition of the turf fol
lowing rain last night, he was
more than ever concerned about
the outlook against Army.
STARS INJURED
Injuries forced several changes
in the starting Army lineup. A re
vised backfield, a new starting
center and a change at guard
were the result but in each in
stance Army is luckjf to have men
just about as capable as the in
jured stars.
There is a strong suspicion,
too, that two Or three of the
injured backs, notably Woody
Wilson, would be surprisingly re
covered before the game was very
old and see plenty of action.
Truant Boy, 12,
Fearing to Go
Home, Ends Life
CHICAGO, Oct. 29 (INJS.).
Death came today •to a 12-year
old boy who shot himself rather
than go home and face his parents
after he ran away.
The youngster, Nicholas Boras,
started to hitch-hike to California
with a schoolmate, Robert Fen
der, 14. Halter by police in Lans
ing, 111., and returned here last
night, Robert decided to go home
and call off the adventure. But
Nicholas was afraid to go home.
“Aw, go on home,” his chum
retorted. “Nothing will happen.
So long, I’m going home.”
Robert left Nicholas and
started walking up the street.
He heard a revolver shot.
Nicholas had shot himself in
the head.
