[ AKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 2.—(AP) — "’;upite strenuous efforts of Soviet Rus

The sharpest attack came from Argentina Delegate Jose Arce, who protested par
iicularly against use of the veto on membership applications and declared that if
this procedure is to be followed “it is better if the other 46 nations simply folded up
our papers and turned over to the five great powers the solution of our problems.”
Democrats And
Republicans
Unice Confidence
\\'ASHINGTON. Nov. 2 —
(AP) — The 1946 battle of the
ballots produced for the first
time tonight an unqualified claim
from the Democratic command
that ‘Tuesday’s election will
tichten their grip on Senate and
Louse. %
Republicans voiced confidence
that control of both branches of
Congress surely will shift %o
them.
With the isues sharply defined
anq minds of a multitude of vo
ters made up duriag weeks of
heavy canjpaigning, Democratic
National ~(%aairman Robert E.
Hannegan revised upward pre
vioug forecasts that his party
would hang on to majorities in
Senate and House.
He predicted:
“As the result of the election
on Tuesday, the Democratic par
ty not only will be returned to
its majority status in “both hous
es of Congress, but ils member
ship will be increased over taat
in the 79th Congress.”
Républizan Chairman Carrpoll
Reece declared as coniidently in
onother statement: .
“The Congress to be clecied
on Tuesday will be a Republican
congress.”
He said there will be a “sub
stantial” GOP majority in the
House, perhaps an “gverwhelm
ing” one. In the Senate, Reece
predicted simply a majority.
Back Stretch
As the campaign started brisk
ly down the stretch, efforts di
minished on both sides to swing
votes by oratorical outpourings.
President ‘Tfuman continued
mum at his home in Independ
ence, Mo.
The only formal explanation
of his silence, from Mayor Roger
T, Sermon of Independence, is
iat the President wishes to
"‘111‘1“@!'1 the dignity of his high
office.”

dent. And former Secretary of
Commerce Henry Wallace nad 2
speech on tap in Detroit tonight.
In a ranscribed ABC Roose
cast from New York Mrs. Roose
velt described the Democratic
party as the one “best able 0
set our feet on the way to peace.”
She said election of a Democra=
tic congress will mean “much
less chance of anoYaer war.”
That was only one of the is
sves that have made this off=
vear election campaign one of
the hottest in recent history.
Oters have been the shortage
of meat and other things consu<
me*s want, controla over ‘prices,
possibility of another coal strike.
The, outcome will be aetermin

persons qualifieq to vote. Figures
from states andpolitiical lead
ers indicate more than 35,000,000
actually will turn up at the polls.
To break the Democratic hold

ATHENS BANNER-HERALD
The controversy developed at
the opening meeting of the Gen
eral Assembly’s powerful politi
cal committee, which has before
it such explosive issue as .the
Soviet arms limitation proposals,
demands for action against Franco
Spain and the veto.question.
One of the high spots in the
debate was a clash between Sen
ator Tom Conally (D-TEX), U. S.
representatives, and Soviet re
presentatives, and Scviet repre
sentative Andri Y. Vishinsky
over the broad principle of the
committee’s right to review the
security council’s actions.
Vishinsky Aknsisted that the
committee had no ‘mandate” to
critize the council, while Con
nally contended th, committee
had the entire report of the coun
cil before it and could discuss
any part of the report dealing
with the admission of new mem
bers. |
“What good does information
dc if you can’t talk about it?”
Conally asked, “if you have to
whisper it and mark it top se
cret? Why should we be afraid
to discuss anything that pertains
to peace, pass it on the street,
shun it as though it were a leper,”
The committee already had un
animously recommended that the
assembly approve the member-“
ship applications of the three na
tions previously reccmmended by
the Security Council ——Sweden,‘
Iceland and Afghanistan—and
Vishinsky said it would limit its
action to that.
Other Members ‘
The criticism of the council,
however, had been started earlier
and committee chairman Dmitri
Manuilsky, Foreign Minister of
the Soviet Ukraine, ruled that
other members should be allowed
an opportunity to make declara
iuns. 1
Egyptian delegate Mahmound
Bey Fawzi accused the council of
overstepping its auti.rity by re
jecting the five applicants for
reasons not in the U, N. Charter,
and called on the Assembly to
send the applicants kack to the
council for reconsideration. The
Philippine delegation also pro
posed that the councii be asked
to reconsider its artion.

provosed that the assembly set

Russians Failed
To Keep Promise
U. S. Sources Say
FRANKFURT, Germany, Nov.
I—(AP)—High U. S. sources said

had failed to fulfill an agreement
for exchange of Germans crossing

Truman Visifs Home Town To Relax;
Remains Aloof From Polifical Woes
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Nov. 2—(AP)—President Truman took
a pleasant stroll through the streets of his old home town today,
still determinedly aloof from a congressional campaign weighing
heavily on his political future.
He talked of home and his boyhood with newsmen who joined
him on a mile and a quarter walk which led by the house in
which he lived asa child, + ™ ; \
He showed them where he used to go skating and swimming
and where he used to go to Sunday school.
He pleasantly refrained, however, from talk of the elections
KY next Tuesday when he and Mrs. Truman and their daughter,
argaret, will cast their votes.
He said he had not held any political conferences since his
return home Friday.
As for the possibility of a political campaign speech just prior
to the voting, the situation is unchanged. He has no plans for a
talk.
The President’s talk with newsmen took place on the drive
way to the rear of his old-fashioned frame home here at the
end of the brisk stroll. y ‘i n i

50,000 SEE GEORGIA BLANK'BAMA 14-0 AS TIDE'S
VAUNTED AERIAL CIRCUS FAILS TO MATERIALIZE ¢
BY ED THILENIUS e
Some 50,000 rain-soaked fans can readily testify today that Red Elephants are
just as allergic to dogs, namely Bulldogs, as they are to the perennial mouse.
‘Led by Charlie Trippi, the Bulldogs all-around All-American who passed for one
score and sprinted 46 yards for another, Georgia completely blanked a highly rated
Alabama eleven 14-0 yesterday, within the confines of Sanford Field to rack up their
sixth win of the season on a slippery gridiron. K. W et
The "Bulldogs aerial defense,
extremely weak all season, was
fool-proof yesterday, stymieing
the Tide's vaunted aerial might,
Gilmer Inc., dig not complete a
single pasg out of nine attempts
and had two intercepted.
‘Bama never threatened. The
Bulldogs’ 23 yard line was as
close as %ae Red Elephants ever

First Score
Early in the first period, Gil
mer attempteq his first pass of
the game and had it promptly
intercepted by fullback Dick
McPhee, supposedly a cripple
who wouldn’t play. McPhee
latched on to Gilmer’s aerial on
nis own 43, lateralled to John
Donaldson who sped down the
sidelines to the Tide’s 13 where
he was shoved out-of-bounds.
Three line plays carried to the
10. On fourth down. being rush
ed by five Tide linemen, Trippi
fired to Edwardg in the end zone
for a touchdown. The unique part
of the play was that Trippi pass
ed wsiile falling backwards and
Edwards caught the ball diving
forward affer Hal Self, trying to
be a little too selfish, laad batted
the ball into the air.
Jernigan converted his 27th
out of 28 placements and Georgia
leaq 7-0. .
| Trippi Custom
Tt being the custom that Trip
pi take off on at least one dis~
tant jaunt in each game, Ala
bama was made no exception.
In the waning minutes of the
second quarter, Trippi started
the scoring march with a 33-
vard aerial to Rauch on the
Tide’s 46. Two pass plays failed,
and then Trippi took a shovel
from Rauch, rounded right end,
plowed through two defenders,
applied an extra burst of speed
to explode through three other
Sept. 4, .
“I didn’t know much about her.
I still can’'t understand why she
left. I wonder how much her bond
is, and if they’ll put her in jail?”
Mobile officers today pieced to
gether the story aof the restaurant
robbery there. Detective Walter
Dumas said a woman hired a taxi
and told the driver to wait while
she went inside a restaurant.
Dumas said she entered, bought
cigarettes, then calmly displayed a
half-concealed pistol. ;
Gets Out
He said she walked out with
$657 in currency, directed the
taxi to a street intersection in the
western part of the city, and got
out.
Mrs. Globaker told Dallas of
ficers that she had then boarded
a bus after “outtalking” two de
tectives. She 3aid she went to New
Orleans, spent S2OO on clothes and
S2OO on entertainment.
She said she married Globaker
after her discharge from the
Angola prison farm in Louisiana
last year. She said she did not get
time off for good behavior be
cause she laughingly said she “was
not good.”
When she left recently, sk left
a note “to whom it may concern”
saying:
“I have always maintained that
is the coward’s way out and now
I find bravado, which I have al
ways pretended, is a front used as
an armor to protect a heart full of
tears.”
