(Minn, Oct. t -VP) ;ATL political 1 leaden today tick eted four southern democratic i members of the senate, plus nine reDublicans. for defeat in the 1050 elections. These leaders have completed list of sena,tors they will sup port or oppose in . an ambitious colitical drive to secure a more . friendly congress.

The convention has authorized a plan to collect a multi-million dollar campaign fund through $2 r contributions from labor union j members. I . In discussions on the conven tion floor of plans to see that every AFL member gets a chance to plank down his money, the $2 amount .has sometimes been re ferred to ar a "voluntary assess ment." 1 , . v The AFL's list for 1930 calls for support pf seventeen senators Including three republicans.

Albania $aid IiielyB Powder Keg BELGRADE. Yugoslavia. Oct 8 -CP)-Yugoslavia hinted tonight that tiny pro-Russia Albania may be the powder keg which will touch off a more active Russia-le campaign against Premier Marsh-J Tito, i The newspaper "Borba," Yugo slavia's official communist news paper, indicated the little southern neighbor possibly was being prim ed by the Russians for an added political and possibly a military blow at the Tito regime. A three-column editorial on the front page of "Borba's" Sunday edition noted that Albania was the only communist country which did not follow suit in renouncing her treaty of friendship and mutual assistance with Yugoslavia. There is 'one thing strange:" the editorial said, "namely, why have the Albanian government which up until now took the initiative in breaking, its ties with Yugoslavia, not formally broken the treaty?" The editorial hinted that the reason was a "machination of a kind directed against Yugoslavia by the Albanian clique and the people who give orders to it (Russia)." The article suggested that Mos cow had directed Albania to pre serve all formal diplomatic rela tions with Yugoslavia on. a chance for Intervention in the future. This could come in the Greek civil war, the article speculated. Should the Greek' royal gov ernment chase guerrilla forces into Albania while a treaty of mutual aid existed between Al bania and Yugoslavia, it might provide pro-Russia Balkan coun tries with an excuse to crack down on Tito's government if it failed to go to Albania's rescue.

Demo Leader Seeks Support In Olds Fight WASHINGTON, Oct 8 - (JP - Democratic Chairman Boyle to night sought to line up pressure of democratic governors and may ors, behind the administration's fight to get the senate to confirm Leland Olds for a i third term on the federal power commission.

Autumn rains have caused per haps $15,000,000 damage and 20 to 30 deaths in south central Italy, but Italy remains in the grip of a water power shortage. While potato crops are light a bountiful grape yield' has begun driving down Italian wine prices. The Rhine river is so low barges carry only a third of their usual loads to avoid grounding in the shallows. These are highlights from freak autumn droughts and floods spot ting the map of western Europe and the British isles today. Most of Britain had been rain less for 13 days' after a dry sum mer. In half the country water was rationed and factories were shut ting down for lack of it A British waterworks association o f f i ci a 1 said Britain's shortage was the worst in two decades. The late maturing potato crop was figured at about 15 per cent below normal. There was some talk that potatoes might have to be ra tioned. Derbyshire firemen laid thous ands of feet of hose to water thir st y cattle on farms where wells have dried up. Belgium had less rain than nor mal, but is harvesting her large&t grain crops since the war. The fruit yield was the biggest on rec ord. Italy's forage crops suffered from lack of rain, but food pro duction in general came off well. The wheat crop was up 12 per cent and the olive crop 67 per cent compared with 1848.
