Philadelphia The fourth annual
traveling convention here of the
American Civic Association closed
with a banquet at which addresses
were given by the heads of three re
gional planning districts, outlining
the proposals and accomplishments
of the New York, Philadelphia and
Washington plans.
Frederic A. Delano, president of
the association and chairman of the
regional plan of New York and also
chairman of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, pre
sided at the banquet.
George McAneny, president of the
Regional Plan Association, Incorpo
rated, of New York, spoke of the
beginnings of the regional plan, as
first conceived by New York in 1912
and worked out through some eight
years of experimentation under the
promotion of the Russell Sage Foun
dation, which contributed, during
that period, more than $1,800,000 to
ward the support of the plan which
now emphasizes looking far ahead
and viewing the needs of the section
as a whole.
Col. Samuel P. Wetherill, presi
dent of the Regional Planning Fed
eration of the Philadelphia Tri-State
District next spoke of the problems
of the plan for this region as being
particularly one of convincing the
outlying sections of the necessity of
planning and working with their
neighbors showing them how their
own interests could best be served
by cooperation.
The Philadelphia district, Mr.
Wetherill said, had profited greatly
by taking New York's findings as a
guide. The Philadelphia Federation
put on a campaign for funds and
raised some $600,000 to finance a
three-year study plan. This will be
completed within the next six months
and a 50-year regional program will
be outlned.

securing memberships in the Amer

If you are not helping to secure
memberships, you can help by be

we can all have a part in these things

New York, Nov. 4. The largest
popular vote ever given to a candi
date for office in New York fea
tured Franklin D. Roosevelt, demo
crat, to the governorship today by a
plurality of more than half a million
votes.
With five-sixths of the returns
counted, Roosevelt led Charles H.
Tuttle, his republican opponent, by
1 almost 700 thousand votes, and was
1 f mrt I ttt r -i - vrri r sf iriotnfir fnv
surpassing the most smashing success
of his close friend and predecessor in
the governorship, Alfred E. Smith.
Smith was elected governor in 1922
over Nathan Miller, republican in
cumbent, by a plurality of 385 thou
sand votes, and some of the most
sanguine democrats predicted today
that Roosevelt might match that vic tory.
But not even the most hopeful
democrat foresaw for Roosevelt the
smashing success, upstate and down,
which was his as the votes were
counted tonight.
Tuttle Concedes Early.
He had sought re-election on the
record of his two years in office,
while Tuttle charged that Roosevelt
had failed to cope successfully witii
judicial corruption in New York City
which the republican candidate at
tributed to the influence of Tammany
hall, democratic organization of the
metropolis.
Early in the evening Tuttle con
ceded his defeat. Not only did Roose
velt compile the customary demo
cratic edge of votes in New York City,
but he had a surplus of more than
150 thousand votes in upstate New
York, a region which traditionally
sends down a thumping republican
majority to cut into the democratic

London, Nov. 3. Far reaching
plans to reduce Great Britain's num
ber of unemployed by a million in
the next 12 months have been pre
sented to the government by David
Lloyd George and his liberal col
leagues, who have been in conference
with labor cabinet members during
the parliamentary recess.
The liberal plans, made public to
night, contemplate elimination of
what Lloyd George and his associ
ates call the "refactory million" or
the approximate number of British
workers between 700 thousand and
one million who represent the "ex
cess above the numbers nominally
in course of transfer from one indus
try to another, whic h has been per
sistent since the war."
The authors of this plan, who have
given it the title "How to Tackle
Unemployment," have formulated
their programs, in effect, as follows:
First, reduction of production
costs to a level which will enable
Mritish goods to compete successfully
in world markets; second, a proposal
for government stimulation of new
enterprise and industry to absorb
those thrown out of work by ration
alization of older industries. Third,
encouragement of agriculture to ab
sorb 500 thousand additional work
res; fourth, an intensified and ac
celerated program of national de
velopments and reconstruction.

In his answer, Fancy stated the

pledged their stock as collateral on
terms which might require the sale
of that stock if the market price

Oklahoma City, Nov. 4. Oil fires
which swept along the surface of

today after destroying two bridges

District Judge H. D. Landis here to
day to serve 25 years at hard labor.
Bordeau, who came here from Gal
veston to work on a natural gas pipe
line, stabbed Workman, a traveling
salesman, to death with an ice pick
when he found Workman with Mrs.
Bordeau in an auto in a local garage
on October 16.
Arraigned on first degree murder
charges on October 17, he pleaded
self-defense, saying Workman had
moved as though to draw a pistol.
This was denied by Mrs. Bordeau,
who insisted that her husband acted
without provocation. Bordeau acted
as his own attorney at the arraign
ment, sharply cross-questioning his
wife on the stand.
She denied also his charges, sup
ported by a woman witness, of an
alleged chandestine affair with
Workman, but said she had known
the latter since last spring. Mrs. Bor
deau came to Seward and obtained
work in a restaurant while her hus
