Went All Right
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 (/P»—
President Roosevelt in answering
press conference questions said
' h1 thought the election returns
.were all right and didn’t believe
the results constituted any threat
to the continuation of his leberal
g vernment. He predicted that
hr wouldn't encounter what one
tof his questioners called a “co
alition opposition” presumably
combining Republicans and anti
New Deal Democrats against ad
ministration proposals in Con
gress. He expressed his belief
I that his congressional program
1 would be accorded about the
■
1 same reception as before.
Disclosing election predictions,
made before go mg to Hyde Park
I last week, the President remark
! ed he was p ret it y good, Leing
wrong by only one on the Senate
races; he giving the Republicans
seven Democrati .ats whereas
they won eight. He guessed the
Democrats would lose sixty five
seats in the House, whereas the
actual Republican pickup was
eighty one.
President Back
At White House
WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 (hi—
President Roosevelt is back at
the White House and is ready to
survey the administration pro
gram in the light of the Demo
cratic election reverses. After
noon appointments with the cab
inet and Representative Sam
Rayburn, House floor leader,

cuss policies in general, and the
1939 congressional situation in;

Ask German
People Desist
Demonstrations
BERLIN. Nov. 10 (JP>—Propag
anda minister Goebbels issued a
brief appeal to the German peo
ple to desist from further anti
Jew is'h demonstrations, after syn
agogues in- "many cities were
burned, wrecked and badly
damaged.
“It is justifiably understand
able, the indignation of the Ger
man people over the cowardly
Jewish murder of the German
diplomat in Paris, which result
ed during the past night in ex
tensive demonstrations.' The en
tire population is now, however,
strictly requested to desist im
mediately, all demonstrations.
The final answer will be given
Jewry in the form of laws or de
crees." ■
Responsible Jews hearing the
closing sentence, feared that it
would be a general order issued
compelling all Jews to leave the
country. Seven of Berlin’s syna
gogues were burned and all of
Vienna's 21 synagogues were re
ported to have been burned and
wrecked. In Munich, all Jews
were told by angry Nazis that
they must leave the country m
forty eight hours Vienna Jews
said that twenty two of their
numbers suicided. Damage was
estimated at four million dollars.
Italy Too Now
Restricting Jews
ROME, Nov. 10 i/P)—The Ital
ian cabinet approved a sweeping
decree and laws excluding Jews
from government positions of
any kind, restricting their busi
ness. forbidding marriage be
tween Aryans and Italians and
limiting family rights._
Republicans
Vow Intention
W in Presidency
UNDATED, Nov. 10 pP)— Dem
ocratic and Republican parties
began a two year struggle for
power as the aftermath of polit
ical upheavals in Tuesday’s el
ection. With eleven new gover
norships and eight new senate
seats and at least seventy eight
more house seats firmly in their
grasp, Republicans turned from
ballot counting with the avowed
^ intention of trying to take the
presidency in 1940. The Demo
crats are characterizing many of
1 their losses as inevitable casual
ties. Roosevelt coat tail riders
minimize Republican claims of
widespread anti-New Deal senti
ment. They are equally deter
mined to continue in national
domination beyond the next two
years.
There is only one major race
not yet definitely decided, and
that appeared to be going Dem
ocratic, in the contest m Indiana
where Senator Van Nuys pulled
slightly ahead of Raymond Will
is. due to a few unreported pre
cincts located in counties which
the Demorat had been running
ahead in after a see-saw baUK
Senator Gillette apparently
won the re-election Iowa where
revisions of unofficial vote tab
ulations increased his lead over
former Senator Dickinson.
Plan Ask Recount
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11 (JP)
—.Indiana Republican leaders
to add to new gains. They plan
ned to ask for a recount of votes
for the U. S. Senator as returns
showed Senator Van Nuys kept
his seat by a bare 6,535 plurality
over Raymond E. Willis.
