Rotzler Jeweler West Scrambled Egg Snack Election Night Fare At Hyde Park Mansion BY JANE tfADS Hyde Park, N. Nov. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt planned an early dinner for her family and later a scrambled egg snack as the traditional election night fare at the Roosevelt Hyde aPrk mansion. She said the household would spend the evening listening to election returns and that she would "stay up as late as the president." Her daughter, Mrs.

John Boet- tlger, and five-year-old grandson, were the only other members of the family present. The four Roosevelt sons in the armed forces are out of the country. Mrs. Roosevelt once remarked that scrambled eggs is a favorite dish of the president's and that election day at their home is "arranged the way he wants it." Village neighbors were expected to drop in during the evening, as they have In past years, to mingle with political associates and Washington friends in the spacious old family residence. Missing from tonight's gathering will be 'the president's mother, Mrs.

Sara Delano Roosevelt, who died In 1941. She had been with the the center of the family election night since first he ran for public office. States That Bear Special Watching In Today's Election By the Associated Press The war may throw previous presidential election indicators off line, but these states bear especial watching in today's election: The Atlantic seaboard states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The "border" states of Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Oklahoma and West Virginia: New York's electoral vote has been in the loser's column' only three times since the Civil war. Pennsylvania broke away from the Republicans only twice since 1864, going for Roosevelt in the last two elections.

The United Mine Workers' vote may be an Important factor in the Keystone stale. Massachusetts and New Jersey, like the other two, have been classed as doubtful states this year. Four of the five "border" states voted Republican in 1920 and 1924 and all five in 1928, In each of these years the G.O.P. presidential candidate won. In the past three elections all five voted for Roosevelt.

What kind of security can you give The veteran says: "You can take a first mortgage on the house." That satisfies the bank. The V.A. is called, when it, too, is satisfied it "Okay.

But this holds true only for that first year. After that the veteran has to pay the full 4 per cent Interest on the total loan. The law covering loans was passed by congress early last slimmer. Since that time the V.A. experts have been drawing up regulations covering such loans.

The problem was to try to lay down regulations which will fit in with the 48 states' varying laws on loans, Because the regulations have not been completed, no veteran has yet been able to obtain a loan although the law covering the loan has been on the books for months. Early Victory Depends On Allies Crossing Rhine On Double Quick BY DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Arialyst Marshal Stalin's declaration that Germany is "on the verge Inevitable catastrophe" is good of to hear, but it would have been great if he could have told us "when" the catastrophe is likely to claim its own. Actually of course, neither the astute Stalin nor 'anybody else can pin the thing down, for there are Imponderables which only time can clarify. It Isn't as easy as it was that June night in 1938 when another Nazi, Max Schmeling, hung paralyzed on the ropes In the first round at the Yankee stadium while an angry Joe Louis measured him coolly for the knockout with that terrible right. We at the ringside could say definitely that the German would be unconscious in another second.

We can't gauge it that close with Hitler. The Allied high, command still may hope to give us a Merry Christmas, but on the other hand Winston Churchill says it's difficult to believe the European war "can be ended before Christmas or even Easter." Stalin points out that the main problem of the moment ii to "crush Hitlerite Germany in the shortest possible time," says the "key to victory" Is "to continue holding Germany between two fronts." If we want to get technical we can say we are holding the Nazi dictator on four "important" speech tomorrow, the anniversary of the 1923 beer hall putsch. The dispatch, reported by the FCC, said it had notr been decided whether the speech would be made before a large audience or to a limted circle of Nazi party leaders.

The fuehrer is in a hydraulic box which Is closing to crush him.

However, it takes pressure to move those slides inward and that pressure must be applied simultaneously in order to get quick results. Tha raises the question of (1) when the western Allies will be able to launch an offensive sufficiently strong to carry us across the Rhine, and (2) when the triumphant Red armies will be able to make an all-out drive against the Vistula line which is Hitler's'last strong defense short of his own border. Then we must consider as Hitler pulls his armies back he shortens his fighting fronts and communications. Thus theoretically he increases the strength of his defenses, since his man-power and materiel will go the Germans clearly indicate that they are going to be no push-over. course the Allies also will be shortening their own fronts as they close in, but they will be lengthening their communications.

Their supply problems then multiply. Stalin says the Red army and its Allies have assumed starting positions for an offensive on the cities of Germany. As regards 'the western front, It looks as though the Allies would be on the move in a big way shortly. We shall know a lot more when, we see whether the western Allies can cross the Rhine on the double quick. To my mind a quick victory depends greatly on that.
