SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1939 PRICE FIVE CENTS By per Mall cops County Ready For Vote After Dull Campaign Many Monmouth Towns to Choose Local Officers Both Parties Make Final Appeals (Biographies of Candidates Appear on Page 10.) Monmouth county's voters will elect two assemblymen; two members to the board of chosen freeholders and a county clerk Tuesday after what has been one of the most apathetic political campaigns in many years. Altho there are numerous municipal contests thruout the county, interest in the main has been notoricusly lacking during a campaign that has been dull by comparison with those of recent years. due in large to the fact that the election is without a single statewide office at stake. As a consequence the vote is expected to be considerably smaller than those of the past few years.

Republicans who dominate the board of freeholdehs are confidence of gaining complete control of the county government just as they did a year ago. With the campaign in its final stages, Democrats are equally confidence of electing at least part of their slate and of retaining Howard Height in the county clerk's office, the only important county position in the hands of a Democrat. Of the complete assembly slate votwill elect on Tuesday, Monmouth county will name two. J.

A year ago, the late Raymond Wyckoff was elected in the G. O.

Mayor Walter J. Sweeney, Sea Bright and former sheriff and county clerk. George H. Roberts, New Monmouth, are the Democratic nominees. They have been campaigning on an "equal representation" platform.

Six Senators to Be Elected Thruout the state, six state senators will be elected. The Democrats have no chance of capturing control of the senate whatever the outcome of the six contests, however. Their hope of controlling the assembly, depends largely on winning 12 seats in Essex county, largest in the state. (See COUNTY, Page 2) French Planes Disperse Nazis PARIS. (AP) Military sources asserted yesterday that French fighting planes broke up a mass German flight deep into French territory in a spirited aerial chase.

At least a dozen Nazi scouting planes, these sources said, flew high the front lines at Forbach and headed over the Alsatian plain near Colmar and Mulhouse in formation. French fighting planes gave chase and military dispatches said the majority of the Nazi craft were chased back across the Rhine. The others climbed higher and disappeared into the west over the Vosges mountains. They were believed to have hovered among the clouds until they were able to regain their own bases. Two Germans were reported to have come down in parachutes in a wooded area near Nancy.

Military sources said they were unable to determine immediately whether a German plane had been disabled or spies were being dropped behind French lines. At the same time, the French announced successful reconnaissance flights had been carried out over the German Rhineland without mishap. On the front localized patrol action reported with German artillery dropping a number of shells near Forbach. The high command's evening communique declared: "On both sides light reconnoitering units have been active between the Moselle and Saar rivers." Germans Are Bored BERLIN. (P)-Internal affairs held the attention of most German officials last night as army chiefs completed a week of the shortest series of communiques experienced by the Reich since the war started.

Beginning with last Sunday's laconic three-word communique, the army managed to tell the entire week's war story in 87 words. Many citizens in all walks of life were reduced to boredom. "Even our Fuehrer is terribly bored," one prominent Nazi said. "What's the matter, is it war or isn't it?" "Why doesn't somebody start something?" were questions frequently heard. While Hitler conferred frequently with army leaders, various members of (See FRENCH, Page 2) Admits He's Licked MINNEAPOLIS, (AP) Aaron Anderson, who runs a tailor shop, labored long and industriously to keep burglars out of his place.

Mr. Crooks, accompanied by his wife and two children, Patricia and Richard, arrived at Newark airport after a five-day flight from Argentina and came at once to the shore.

They had reached Buenos Aires from South Africa after a tortuous Atlantic crossing on an overcrowded Japanese freighter. Sporadic disturbances occurred in the British colony between English sympathizers and the descendants of the Boers. Mr. Crooks reported. In some instances, he said, pro-Nazis wrecked English-made automobiles and English sympathizers wrecked Germanmade machines.

On the night that war broke out Mr. Crooks was scheduled to sing at Capetown. Several numbers on the printed program were German selections. Mr. Crooks destroyed the programs, making it necessary for him to announce each number of a revised concert.

In local fights the Republicans are urging election of their candidates on claims that they would work for better cooperation with the Republican board of freeholders. Principal campaigning argument of the Democratic speakers has been that the Republican-controlled county government has boosted the county tax rate to $13.86 per $1,000 assessed valuation, highest in the entire state.

Each egg contained enough poison to kill nearly 500 persons, the druggist estimated. And there is no known antidote. Police went into action and soon some broken bits of one of the eggs were found on a downtown sidewalk. A lad was able to furnish a partial description of the boy he had seen breaking it and with these leads, police soon found the culprits. The boys, each about 10 years old, had taken the eggs in the belief they were moth balls.

(AP)-Rigorously applying the newly-signed neutrality law, President Roosevelt yesterday excluded American shipping from virtually all European ports except those of neutral nations on the Mediterranean and Arctic oceans. The law itself, to which Mr. Roosevelt affixed his signature soon after noon, forbids the vessels of this country to carry cargoes to belligerent England, France and Germany. By an additional proclamation, authorized in the law, the chief executive then forbade them to traverse a broad "combat in which there appears to be danger from German torpedoes or British warships. As pencilled off on the map by the president, and aides from the state and navy departments, the "combat zone" means that American sea craft may carry on no commerce with Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Estonia, the Baltic sea--Finland and Russia.

Latvia and Lithuania, or--by way of Finland and Russia may be reached, however, thru the Arctic, over the course followed recently by the City of Flint, and Russian ports on the Black sea also are accessible. Some Ports Accessible Otherwise, the European neutrals to which American ships are permitted to gO are (north of Bergen), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Rumania. "Combat areas may change." Mr. Roosevelt said in an accompanying statement. "and it may be found that areas now safe become dangerous, or that areas now troubled may later become safe.

In this case the areas will be changed to fit the situation. "Coastwise American shipping is not affected by the bill, nor is shipping between American republics or Bermuda or any of the Caribbean islands. In the main, shipping between the United States and Canada is also not affected."

(AP)-The state board of education today ordered local school authorities to examine all high school students for tuberculosis before Jan. 1, 1941, thus invoking for the first time provisions of a 1939 health law.

The law empowered local boards of education to make tuberculosis tests at the direction of the state board. Students found to be actively diseased would be excluded from attending classes until cured. Similar tests for grade school children were recommended but not demanded. "We are moving to examine the high school pupils first because of the higher incident of the disease among persons from 15 to 25." explained Charles H. Elliott, state education commissioner.

The state board affirmed a previous decision by Elliott upholding as legal a special election at which Middletown township voters approved the issuance of $82,000 in bonds for a new school last spring. The election was contested by a taxpayer, Amelia P. Knapp. who charged notice of the election had been improperly given.
