Thirty G-men, police and investigators in-vestigators from the Alameda county district attorney's office announced their findings after a second inspection of the Vancouver's Vancou-ver's hull. They charged the explosion ex-plosion was a "murderous attempt" at-tempt" by unknown persons to sink the Vancouver and its crew of 70 in the deep waters of San Francisco bay. To Question Suspects District Attorney Earl Warren said investigators would question every person who might have had an opportunity to put the bomb in position while the Vancouver was loading at the Encinal terminal ter-minal at Alameda. It was there, they believed, that .the bomb probably was place.d.pA the ship. Warren said none of the investigators in-vestigators doubted that there would have been a major catastrophe catast-rophe if the blast had occurred after the ship reached the deep water of San Francisco bay.

Olson in California. WASHINGTON Two significant signifi-cant departures characterized the confidential election forecast compiled com-piled for the President this year by Democratic National Committee Commit-tee master minds. One was its pessimistic note of uncertainty. The other was the prediction of important state and congressional losses. This is the first Democratic pessimism since 1932. In that year and in the elections of 1934 and 1936, the inside boys were cockily confident of the outcome. They were not only certain of victory but assused Roosevelt of new gains. But this year is a different story. The Administrationites are apprehensive. ap-prehensive. Where they do claim victory in closely fought contests, they admit that the margin will be very narrow. These are the secret forecasts made to the President : HOUSE Likely Democratic loss of 30 to 40 Congressmen. On the other hand, a 'good chance" to pick up 4 to 6 gains in Massachusetts, Massa-chusetts, New Jersey, Kansas and Minnesota. SENATE Four Democratic losses practically certain, offset by one certain gain in Oregon, and a "fair chance" to pick up one in Pennlylyanla.

King George announced to parliament today that he had accepted an invitation from President Roosevelt Roose-velt to visit the United States during dur-ing his Canadian tour next spring.

"I warmly welcome this practical prac-tical expression of the good feeling feel-ing that prevails between our countries." It will be the first visit by a reigning British monarch to the United States. The Daily Mail asserted that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain Chamber-lain might accompany the king and queen. The king coveted a wide range ! of subjects in his address. He announced the British government's gov-ernment's readiness to do anything any-thing it could to aid in ending the Chinese-Japanese and the Spanish civil wars. He said that the government would do all it could to promote friendship with Germany. He expressed hope that the enforcement en-forcement of the British-Italian friendship treaty would aid the cause of peace. This Day . . .
