The balloting in 16 key states appears likely to chart the nation's legislative course for the next two years when upwards of 35,000,000 voters choose tomorrow among more than 1.000 candiates for national and state offices. These 16 states stretching from Massachusetts to California, hold the major share of close contests which will determine Democratic or Republican control of the house and senate in the 80th Congress They are: New York, Masachusetts, Missouri. Idaho.

Montana, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennnsylvania, Deleware, Wisconsin, Kentucky and California. These 15 states along with Illinois which has no Senatorial contest- -promise to furnish most of the vital results in the hotly-contested races. In the House, the Republicans now have 192 members. They need to retain all of these or equivalent districts and gain 26 for the 218 which marks a clear majority. The Democrats, with 235 members, could lose a net of 17 and still maintain control.

There are six vacancies and two minor parties now represented a- mong the 435 house places. In the Senate, the Republicans must make a proportionately larger gain of 10. since they now hold only 39 of the 96 places.

Lafollette who was defeated in the Republican primary. Ninety-seven candidates are in the field for 35 senate seats which will be filled in tomorrow's election.

According to the Patrol, Decker was driving the Farmall tractor west on Highway 36, crossing the Middle Fork bridge, when due to the rain and slick pavement, the truck driven by Miller, coming down a hill, also headed west, was unable to stop, and when he started to go around the tractor, Mayhew driving the 1931 Ford loomed 1 up headed east, and a three-way collision resulted. Mayhew, who was driving the 1931 Ford east, said he was coming to the Middle Fork bridge, saw a truck pulling in behind the tractor, and the next thing he knew the truck pulled out from behind the tractor, and in Mayhew's words, "We hit," the Patrol stated. Miller's version of the accident, according to the Patrol, was that he was driving the truck down a hill, headed west of Highway 36, and when he saw the tractor, tried to stop, but due to the wetness of the pavement was unable to do so, and tried to get between the tractor and the Ford driven I by Mayhew, headed east.

Decker, driving the Farmall west, told the Patrol he didin't know what happened. The only person receiving injuries from the three-way accident was Mary Virginia Mayhew, 30, Callao, who suffered from a cut wrist and bruises. She was a passenger in the Mayhew Ford, as was Carol Ann Mayhew, 5, who was uninjured. The left running board of the Federal truck driven by Miller was slightly damaged; while the front end of Mayhew's Ford was demolished, the Patrol said. was also considerable damage to the Farmall tractor.

Optimistic Over Yule Trade Outlook WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-(AP) -If you fall into the National Christmas shopping pattern this year you will: Buy more things than ever before, especially home appliances and similar "hard" goods, despite the high prices you'll have to pay. That is the view of government officials generally.

They predict that the atual volume of things sold will be perhaps 10 per cent greater than last, year's record and that cash registers will show sales up 20 or 25 ters will shiw sales up 20 or 25 per cent. Although the soaring buying curve has leveled off somewhat this fall, storekeepers have been laying in goods hand over fist for the Christmas season. Federal Reserve Board statistics show that department store stocks rose five per cent during September and reached a point 36. per cent greater than a year ago. Electrical appliances like toasters, percolators and similar items will be more plentiful, but in such high demand that stocks will be inadequate in most areas, according to the civilian production administration.

There will be good toys and "darn near enough of them," one OPA official reported. He added that metal mechanical toys, electric trains and similar prized Christmas items will 1 be available in many areas but "sky high in price." Radios will be plentiful, but other large household items will continue scarce. Refrigerator output is rising steadily but still is 25 per cent below prewar; electric and gas range production has dropped because the enamel-stock steel which they require is going into bath tubs and sinks for the housing program. According to bankers who keep the Federal Reserve Board posted on business conditions in many cities, department store executives are "very optimistic" over the Christmas outlook. In Washington, Walter Morrow, president of the American Retail Federation, forecast that sales probably will be more than 10 per cent greater than last year and that "the holiday business should be marvelous."

Coroner's Jury Reports On Death Of Child A six-man Coroner's jury this morning found that Carol Patricia Lorenz, 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Francis Lorenz, was "accidentally killed by collision of truck driven by Arthur Thomas Young, of Watertown, and 1946 Chevrolet sedan driven by Paul Francis Lorenz, of Chicago, on Highway No. 36, east of Macon, near Ten Mile Road. Testimony of witnesses showed that driver of truck had gone temporarily to sleep at the time of the accident." Carol Patricia Lorenz was killed instantly at 9 o'clock Saturday morning, when the 1946 Chevrolet sedan driven by father, Paul Francis Dorenz, 9845 Yates street, Chicago, had a head on collision with a 1941 Dodye truck driven by Arthur Thomas Young, 53, Watertown, on Highway 36, one half mile west of the junction of 10 Mile road and Highway 36, five miles east of Macon.

Donald Hartung, Charley Harttung, and Trooper Edmond Ferguson testified this morning before the coroner's jury conducted by Coroner Henry wards. Police Judge Newton Hamilton selected the coroner's jury Saturday afternoon, when an inquest was 'held for the body of Carol Patricia Lorenz. Prosecuting Attorney George N. Davis filed a charge Saturday against Arthur Thomas Young, truck driver, of "culpable negligence" in Justice of the Peace W. H.

Stanfield's court. Young gave $500 bond for his appearance for a preliminary hearing in the Justice of the Peace Court on Tuesday, Nov. 12. Attorney Waldo Edwards is representing Young. The coroner's jury was made up of Warner Itschner, Edward Mumford, Pearce McConoughey, Percy Molyneaux, Harry Robuck, and E.

A. Smith. In Saturday morning's accident, Mrs. Paul Francis Lorenz, 25, wife of the driver of the 1946 Chevrolet had both legs broken, and lacerations and cuts about the face. She was taken to the Samaritan Hospital for treatment, as was her husband, Paul Francis, who was considerably bruised and cut.

Samaritan Hospital authorities this morning said Mrs. Lorenz's condition remains unchanged. The fourth occupant of the Lorenz vehicle at the time of the accident, was Robert Paul Lorenz, 4-month old baby, who escaped serious injuries. The infant was in a basket in the back seat of the car, while Carol Patricia, who was killed, was riding in the front seat with her mother and father. Arthur Thomas Young, 53, who was driving the 1941 Dodge truck suffered cuts about the face and head, and was taken to the Samaritan Hospital Saturday for treatment.

Young, who was treated, appeared this morning at the coroner's jury questioning. According to the Highway Patrol, Lorenz, driver of the 1946 Chevrolet, headed east on Highway 36, said he saw a truck coming toward him on the wrong side of the pavement, and swerved to the left in order to miss the vehicle. Young, who was driving the Dodge truck west on Highway 36, told the patrol he had gone to sleep, and when he awoke saw that he was on the wrong side of the highway, and attempted to cut back on the right side of the road, as a result of which the head on collision occurred with Lorenz's Chevrolet. The truck driver told the Patrol he had been driving since early (Friday afternoon without stop. The front end and body of the Lorenz Chevrolet were practically demolished, with the exception of the back seat, where the 4-monthold infant was riding in a basket.

Young's Dodge truck was considerably damaged in the front end. Mr. and Mrs. Lorenz and family had been visiting his parents in St. Loseph, and were on their way back to their home in Chicago when the accident occurred Saturday morning, Cities Short Of Improved Land For Home Sites WASHINGTON, Nov.

4-(AP) -With cities running out of improved land, government financial help may be proposed to permit extending sewer, mater and other facilities to potential home sites. Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt declared in his monthly report issued over the weekend that to a "far greater degree" than during 1946, new houses next year will have to be built on raw land in the outskirts of cities. To a reporter's question whether the cost of improving such sites would require federal help, Wyatt responded: "By the time congress meets in January, there undoubtedly will be a recommendation with regard to federal aid." The housing chief, already tangled in conflict with the reconstruction finance corporation over his plans to grant $65.000.000 in federal loans to prefabricators, declined to elaborate. The report, however, forecast that the 1,500,000, new homes and apartments scheduled to be started in 1947 will create a serious problem, especially since many will be big developments which must reach into suburban areas for large parcels of land.

S. and China Sign Treaty WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 -(AP) -China and the United States today signed an extensive treaty of "friendship, commerce and navigation," but American officials insisted the action was without significance so far as China's internal strife is concerned.

Lewis' United Mine Workers talked for more than two hours today about UMW demands for more pay while wildcat strikes spread in the soft coal fields. The talks then were recessed until Wednesday at 11 a. (EST) without comment. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-(AP) -Sporadic walkouts in some of the nation's coal fields lent emphasis to negotiations on John L.

Lewis' demands for a new contract and higher pay today as government and union conferees went back into session. Lewis himself was absent again as the talks resumed after a weekend recess. Reports from Kentucky told of ten mines shut down and some 1,800 miners idle in stoppages attributed by United Mine Workers officials to "restlessness over contract negotiations" and a union campaign to defeat Rep. May (D- Ky) in tomorrow's election. A spokesman for the Navy coal mines administration in Pittsburgh reported, however, that there were no walkouts in Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland.

The Federal Coal Mines administration expressed willingness to credit the walkout of some 10,000 miners last Friday and Saturday to a "misunderstanding" over the status of their working agreement. Most of the affected pits were in West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. Union district leaders said they were trying to get the men back to work, but a spokesman for the operators said they looked for an epidemic of strikes during the negotiations. Thus far, at the mine owners are simply interested bystanders to the slowly-developing struggle between Lewis and the government. Under his present plan, the United Mine Workers chief could end his current agreement November 20.

Lewis, however, has given no fresh sign of his strategy. New Constitution Satisfies Japs TOKYO, Nov. 4 (AP) The Japanese, giving Emperor Hirohito another dramatic demonstration of affection, clearly regard their new constitution as a guaranty for continuance of a modified Emperor system. The nation seems satisfied, as an aftermath of yesterday's promulgation ceremonies, that now a troublesome question is solvedthe Emperor is to remain. The new document makes him a "symbol of state" but does not recognize that he is divine.

It outlaws war and all armed forces. It largely was suggested by General MacArthur's aides. An estimated 200,000 Tokyoites greeted Hirohito's brief appearance before the Imperial Palace, at promulgation ceremonies, with echoing "Banzais" filled with mistakable affection. Then thousands rushed through police lines for a closer glimpse of the once sacrosanct ruler. They surrounded his carriage with a sense of loyalty tinged with one of equality.
