Majorities for the two proposed con stitutional amendments were cut sharply as additional reports were re ceived. On the basis of last night’s returns, both proposals were' favored by a ratio of about two to one, but the percentage of “yes” votes was far less in a tabulation early this afternoon. However, less than a third of the precincts were accounted for. With 613 precincts counted, the vote on the proposal to make sheriffs’ and coroners’ terms four years instead of two stood 69,017 in favor, 51,017 against. The same precincts gave a 58,893 to 48,102 margin in favor of the proposal to empower the legisla ture t 6 create a State department of justice. In the contests for associate justices of the Supreme Court, the vote as re ported from 510 precincts was: M.

In spite of four blood transfusions made under direction of Adolf Hitler's. personal phy sicians sent from Germany by the fuehrer, the 32-year-old von Rath succumbed in the Paris hospital, to which he was taken after the shooting. His parents arrived just before he died. His assailant, H. Grynszpan, is held by the Paris police. He said he shot von Rath to avenge Polish -lews recently expelled from Ger many. ( Court Won’t Free Trio On Spy Charges New York, Nov. 9. —(AP) —Federal Judge Johrf Knov refused today to dir rect a verdict acquitting two meft and a woman charged with spying in this country for the German government. Defense counsel moved for the direct ed verdict during the trial of Johan na Hofmann, hair dresses on the liner Europe; Otton Voss, former airplane mechanic; and Erich Glaser, former United States Army private in the air service. G be judge answered sharply the de fense counsel’s contention that Miss Hofmann couid not be held account able for actions in Germany nor pn German boats, where she is subject to -fcrman law, and that the government o°uld not act against conspiracies by German agents in Germany. I c an’t understand the theory that Germa n government could send be Bremen and Europe here laden I ° Wn with spies and we cotild not act because the government sent them,” the court ruled.

Raleigh, Nov. 9. —Yesterday’s elec tion sent 31 committee chairmen in the 1937 General Assembly back for duty in the session which will con vene in January; though that does not mean that these gentlemen will again head the same groups. Contrary to procedure in the Fed eral Congress, service on committees and chairmanships thereof are not permanent aRd by custom of recogniz ing seniority. The North Carolina custom is for the lieutenant governor to appoint the Senate coqimittees and the speaker to do across the hall in the House. It could, therefore, turn out that chairmen of 1937 might not even be members of the same committees next year. In the Senate of 1939 there will be the chairmcyx of 13 of the 48 com mittees which functioned nearly two years ago. In the House there will re turn 17 chairmen from the 44 com mittees which were active. House chairmen reelected are: Ag riculture, W. E. Fenner of Nash; ap propriations, D. L. Ward, of Craven; banks and banking, W. W. Eagles, of Edgecombe; congressional districts, C. C. Abernathy, of Nash; education, Hugh Horton, of Martin; expenditures of the House, R. T.

ONLY DALLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THIS Gains by Republicans Indicates Anti - New Dealers Will Intensify Fight on White House Proposals; Defeat of O’Connor Cheers Democrats New York, Nov. 9.—(AP)— James A. Farley, Democratic na tional chairman* declared today the country would “continue to vote Democratic for many years to come.” Losses in a number of states, Farley said, were due to local, not national, considerations,. “Senator Vandenberg is the Re publican to defeat for the presi dency in 1940,” Farley said in an swer to a question as to whether he believed the Republican party had elected presidential timber in several states. At the same time, he refused even to hint whom the Democrats might name. Washington, Nov. 9. —(AP) —Repub lican gains in Senate and House fur nished a strong indication today of stiffer opposition to administration proposals during the next Congress. Although insufficient to overturn the Democratic majorities in both chambers, the additional Republican stwts will give new strength to the coalition of Republicans and anti- Roosevelt Democrats which fought many of the White House recommen dations of the last two years. The 1939-40 Congress will include several men whom Mr. Roosevelt sought to defeat in Democratic primaries. The opinion was general among capital politicians that this group will inten sify its battle against New Deal leg islation . Administration supporters were cheered, however, by the victory of James Fahy, New York, over Chair man John O’Connor, of the House Rules Committee. Meanwhil.e Senator Alben W. Bark ley, winning handily over his Repub lican opponent in Kentucky, appear ed almost certain to retain his post as; the Senate Democratic leader.

Democratic South Holds True To Form Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 9.—(AP)—The traditionally Democratic South held its major frontiers against political 'invasion today as official returns from yesterday’s “off-year” election was compiled. As a result of the vote, a perfunc tory matter in all but the border states, three Dixie senators labelled conservatives and marked unsuccess fully by President Roosevelt for liqui dation in the primaries will return to Washington—Tydings of Maryland, George of Georgia and Smith of South Carolina.

Hoey’s closing appeal to vote Dem ocratic in yesterday’s election con tained a .clear T cut indication that at tempts to increase teacher salaries on any horizontal six per cent scale are sure to tneet with vigorous opposi tion from the administration. The governor didn’t say that in so many words, but there is no trouble whatever in putting together certain passages anti reaching the almost axiomatic conclusion that this oppo sition will dovelopp unless there is such a phenomenal advance on all ousiness fronts that the State can con fidently look forward to vastly bigger tax revenues during the next bien lium This is a consummation devout y hoped for, but entirely unexpected. The governor said, for instance, that North Carolina must live within its budget—which indicates ,he„*will favor] no appropriations unless there i£ ex pectation of revenues from which to pay them. He pointed out that school teachers, after all, are getting a much larger phare of money appropriated for ichool purposes than is the case gen erally throughout the country. He cit ed the fact that more than $24,000,000 annually is now appropriated for school purposes, of which no less than 82 per cent is paid .as salary to North Carolina’s teachers.

O. P. Gains Eight New Senators and Over 50 House Seats; Regain Pennsylvania (By The Associated Press.) Republican party hit the comeback trail of political power today by up setting Democratic regimes in a dozen strategic states, among them Pennsyl vania. It delivered to the New Deal he first major election reverse since Tranklin Roosevelt was elected presi dent six years ago. The Democrats nevertheless, re gained control of Congress and more han half the governorships. Along the Atlantic seaboard, in the midwest and on to the Pacific coast, one Democratic administration after another toppled before the tide of votes. About a dozen Republicans con ested successfully for governorships now held by Democrats. Eight Re publican aspirants won Democratic peats in the Senate. As returns continued to come in, more than 50 House seats switched from the Democratic to the Republi can side. In the two biggest State elections, New York and Pennsylvania, the major parties split even. Governor Herbert Lehman, New York Demo crat, won re-election over Republican Thomas E. Dewey after exciting hours of vote-counting, in which first one and then the other pulled ahead. Senator Robert Wagner, Democrat, Ndw York, a staunch Roosevelt sup porter, also outdistanced his Repub lican rival, and Representative James Mead, Democrat, was chosen to fill* the seat made vacant by the death of Senator Royal S. Copeland. 1 In nearby Pennsylvania just about the reverse occurred. Governor George Earle, Who gave the State a "little new deal.” failed in his effort to un seat Republican Senator James J.
