War Detracts
Much Interest
. Listlessnesa Seen as .
; New York's Race
: Billed at Top
', By The Associated Press
. The voter of the. nation, obvi
eusly more Interested in the war
than in politics, will make" their
biennial selection Tuesday of
senators,- representatives,- gover
nors and scores of lesser offices.
With 33,613,052 qualified to vote
indications were that only about
34,800,000 would actually do so.
Republican leaders forecast a
-v sizable swing to their standard
generally, with a gain of at least
35 seats in the house of. repre
sentatives. Democrats contended
the elections would not show a net
republican gain of jnore than 15
seats. : . f
As always in'offyear elections,
the house contests attracted atten
tion as an indication of the gen
eral trend of political sentiment
between presidential elections.
In " addition, because ef its
bearing upon the 194 presiden
tial picture and because of Pres
, Went, Roosevelt's participation
In . the preliminaries, many were
watching the race for the gov
ernorship of New York.
. The. republican nominee is
Thomas E. Dewey, who polled the
most Votes on the first ballot for
the presidential nomination at the
1940, republican national conven
tion. His election and two years
as "governor of New York, some
thought, might make him a for
midable candidate for the presi
dency in 1944.
His democratic opponent is At
torney General John J. Bennett,
jr. He was nominated with the
support of James . A. Farley, the
party's state chairman, oyer jthe
opposition ;of Mr. Roosevelt, who
preferred Sen. James M. Mead.
Some time later, however, Mr.
Roosevelt endorsed Bennett as
against his opponents.
A third candidate is Dean' Al
fange, nominee of the; American
labor party, which in 1938 sup-
1 pofted Gov. Herbert H. Lehman
in his close but successful race
against Dewey. Alfange has the
backing of Mayor F. H. LaGuardia
of New York.
Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, play
wright and author, has attracted
national attention by her cam
paign for the house in the fourth
district of Connecticut. She is op
posed by the incumbent; LeRoy
D. Downs, Democrat,' and by Les-
i ler Barlow, the explosives in
ventor who is running as an in
dependent. ;
-From all sections came re-
, ports of listlessness among the
Voters and an absence of sharp
and attention-compelling issues.
Attendance at political rallies
has been slim. In some places,
efforts, were made to make an
Issue of pre-war isolationism
. with varying consequences.
While the republicans are claim
ing a gain of 35 house seats, that
would not . give them control of
that branch of congress. The pres
ent lineup is 257 democrats, 165
republicans, five-seats , held by
, members of minor J parties and
eight vacancies. Of the vacant
seats, seven were filled by demo
crats and one by a republican at
the 1940 election. ;
A swing away from the ad
ministration has 'long been re
garded as normal in off-year elec-

tions. In 1918 it went so far as
to give the republicans a ma
jority following a call by Wood
row Wilson for the-election of a
democratic congress. A repetition
of that war-time development is
not indicated this year on the
basis of the claims made by party
leaders.
Aside from the New York gu
bernatorial race and Mrs. Luce's
bid" for a place in congress, these
contests stood out:
In Pennsylvania, State Audi

is seeking the governorship
against Adjutant , General Ed
ward Martin (R), recently re
lieved of command of Pennsyl
- vanja's own 28th division as too

contended that a democratic
state administration is best
qualified to cooperate with
President Roosevelt in the Mar
effort. Martin has said an "era
of good sane, and sound govern
ment" was needed.
- In Massachusetts, Sen. Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr., (R), seeks to
retain his senate seat against Rep.
Joseph E. Casey (D), an en
thusiastic new dealer. Casey has
ridiculed a trip which Lodge made

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-;P-
Chairman George (D-Ga) cf the
senate finance commltee declared
Saturday the $25,000 limitation on
net salaries would cause the trea
sury to lose tax revenue, would
boost administrative costs . and
penalize the man who works for
his income.
In sweeping criticism of the
salary order, which was issued by
Stabilization Director James F.
Byrnes and countersigned by
President Roosevelt George told
reporters he believed it would.

j The order would limit salaries
to $25,000 after federal taxes, life
