MINORITY BLOC VOTES WILL
SWAY CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS
N
Washington, Nov. 3.
The bloc votes of such minorities as Jewry, Roman Catholics and Poles or Germans will play a big part when the United States goes to the polls on Tuesday for the mid-term election, in which the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senste will be elected afresh. The Palestine crisis and the part United States statesmen have played in it has brought to the notice of the world the apparently dispropor tionate influence that America's minorities wield over the conduct of politicians in the months before national election.
