MADRID. Nov. C. (AD—Two In-
surgent combat planes were shot
down today In a stirring "dog fight"
directly over Madrid. while thou-
sands of militlanicn steamed out.oJ.

seemingly crippled, in the aerial hat-
tie, fled hnolt tn their own lllJCSr

visits to the capital hy insurgent
squadrons. " ' .
Madrid's anti-aircraft batteries
Withheld their fire during the en-
gagement, which" lasted just three
minutes.
A few minutes later twa ..giant In-
surgent bomber*. escorted by five
pursuit plane* crossed the city to-
ward Alcala do Benares, to the north- ,
east. The planes escaped withering
Jlgiwrtir of anti-aircraft fire.
Whipped to a fever fighting pitch,
new government troops hurried for-
ward amid the roar of a fierce ar-
tillery duel between fascist and so-
cialist guns only a few miles beyond ,
the outskirts of the capital.
Excitement ran high as the city's
inhabitants, awakened by the tramp
o {/"marching feet and the rumble of
ammunition trucks, ran forth into !
tile strefts.
Mothers, wives and sweethearts,
some of them blinded hy tears but,,
showing a high courage, tripped
along besides their' marching mcns
handing them mllkless cjotfep ' an'd-
rolls as they went forward in an at-
tempt to stem the fascist avalanche.

Thursday lnornlng he just couldn't
make it and had to admit defeat. If

The warehousemen agreed, after a

Tlio decision of the nation's voters
to place huge democratic legions in
congress ibrought to the fore today
the problem of how to weld the most
lop-sided majority in history into nn
efficient, workable ' legislative ma-
chine. >■-

months from todayvwitli at least 72
deniocrats in the senate chamber and

That a big majority does not guar-
antee a. smooth-working legislative
body, congressional leaders are well
aware on the basis J of past perform-

to take shape. -
A nun>ber of democratic spokesmen
say they expect members of congress
T6""use their, own initiative and judg-
ment. in tho national law .making,
criticizing and opposing where they
think such action merited. There
Will lie almost surely, .some of them
say, a deliberate effort, on the part
'of* many legislators to insure against
bolng called "rubber stnmhs." .
Nevertheless, there are other' d^m-
Ocratfj wlio contend that the tremen-
dous vote of confidence given Presi-
dent Roosevelt. andi tiio new - deal is
likely to be interpreted by some' leg-
islators as a manUato to swing Into
line with unswerving support for the
administration program.

Eager new dealers busied them-
selves today with drafting sugges-
tions for a broad program In the over-
jyhiilinlng democratic 7r«th congress
as . President Roosevelt's popular ma-
jority soared toward the smashing
figure of 10.000.000.
A vast low-cost housing plan, an
"ever normal granary" . for# tho
farm lands, crop insiirance, a drive
to convert farm tenants Into farm,
owners, an A. F. of L effort to ob-
tain new regulation of wages and
working hours — all these bulked
laVge in the thonghts of powerful
groups among the president's follow-
ers,
Mr.- • Hoosevelt——himself, however...
gave no Intimation of how he felt
as to details of the various propo-
sals, though he has declared thalj
"there are a thousand and one things
to do." l '
There has been much speculation :
that congress might set Itself to re-
vising the^corporation tax act passed
at the last a^ssion. and to revamp-
ing the socialx ^curlty act.

I.ate Returns on senate and Itotisc
contests emphasised the crushing
character of the democratic triumph.
With contest^ already decided," It ap-
peared the democrats would havo 75
of the ntl Senators.
For the house, the democrats had
flleetcd at least 329 members, a how
high record. Klghty-nlno republicans
hod' won seats, fi progressives, five
farmer laborltes, an/I six chairs re-
mained in doubt. ' ,!>

Ttie democratic congressional vic-
tory, tho fourth successive one at the
polls, virtually had wiped out the
last traces of the famous senatorial
''old giiOTd" which nnee dominated
tho senate chamber urjder the ehlef-
ftalnship of such, men as Watson,
Reed and Smoot.
Moreover, Tuesday's election made
certain that, unless the solid south
breaks up or a reformation of party
lines occurs, the democrats will have
control of the Senate throughout
President Roosevelt's second teVm«
and probably until .1943.
The slse of the democratic major-
ities raised problems for leaders
who will have to try to Weld them
into an efficient legislative machine.
Past ex'perlenca has taught than
large majorities are prone to split
into factions and blocs.
As the telly continued on the gov-
