Ballew, head of the University's drama department, the play is the first of four major pro ductions to be given by the University Theatre during the [lections Today For Governors, House Members Ry The Assooiated Press - In elections centering largely around state and local issues, vot ers today choose two governors, one of them without opposition, four members of Congress and gyores of mayors. 5 The off-year elections have teen pretty generally discounted by political observers as a tip-off on next year's presidential and congressional elections. : The most heat has been gener ated in several mrayoral and other local elections, notably in Phila~ delphia. 3 The special House of Represen tatives elections are to fill vacan ciec caused by deaths or resigna tions. They include two in Penn svlvania and one in Ney Jersey, all normally Republican, and one in Ohio which goes either way. Here is the picture: Kentucky — V i ¢ e President Barkley entéred the campaign on behalf of Democratic Governor f.awrence Weatherby and his slate of candidates sor eight other state offices. Weatherby has support of all party factions in his race against Republican Eugene Siler. Kentucky has had only three GOP covernors in the past 40 years. Also at stake are all 100 seats in the State House of Representa tives and 22 of 39 Senate seats, Pennsylvania Pennsylvania—Despite a two to one Republican edge in registra tion, Democrats are regarded as having their best chance yet to break the 68-year-old GOP rule in Philadelphia, The candidates for mayor: Dr. Daniél A. Poiing, prominent Baptist minister and writer, Republican; Joseph 8. Clark, now city controller, Dem ocrat. Also to be elected is a dis trict attorney. The campaign was a bitter one, marked by charges of graft and corruption: The two spe= cial House elections are in nor- mally Republican districts. In the Kichth Distriet, Karl C. King (R) has no opposition. In the 14th, candidates are Joseph Carrigg (R) and Paul Harris (D). Ohio—Besides the special House election, interest centers on a pro posal to change the State Consti~ tution te give counties more pro bate judges and on municipal of fices and bond issues. The House seat at stake, in the area around Dayton, has alternated between Republicans and Democrats. The candidates are Jesse -Yoder (D) and Paul F. Schneck (R), both real estate mren, There have been heated mayoral campaigns in Ak ron and Youngstown., Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Colum bus also elect mayors. New York — Rudolph Halley, who became familiar to millions of television fans as counsel for the old Senate Crime Committee, is making a bid for the New York City Council presidency, a post ranking second to that of mayor. Opposing him are Joseph T. Shar key, lifetime Democratic wheel horse; Rep. Henry J. Latham, four term Republican congressman; and Clifford T. McAvoy, American Labor. Halley is running on an Independent, Fusion, Liberal par ty ticket. In upstate New York, 20 mayors are being elected. Virginia Virginia — The dominant Dem ocratic organization headed by U. S. Senator Harry F. Byrd will,re tain top-heavy control of the state (Continued On Page Two) Shepherd Named Shep 10 Lead Marines WASHINGTON, Nov. § — (AP) -President Truman has named a new top boss for the Marines, ef feetive Jan, 1. He is Lt, Gen. Lemuel C. Shep herd, jr.,, whose fighting career fakes in World War I and ]I battles that have become modern Marine lecends — Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel, Okinawa, Mr. Truman named Shepherd to succeed Gen. Clifton B. Cates, at the end of Cates’ four-year tour of duty as Marine Commander. One star will probably be taken from Cates, and given to Shepherd, to make him the Marines’ only full General while he is commandant. Cates will be assigned other duty, as vet unannounced. . Shepherd is 55 years old. e is now commanding General of the Pacific Fleet Marine Force, with headquarters at Pearl Harbor. He is a graduate of Virginia Militarv nstitute, and joined the Marines immediately after leaving school. - He began active duty in 1817, as a Second Lieutenant, at Port Royal, S. C. He was in the Fifth Marine Regiment in France in 1918. He ounded a |leau was twice wounded at Be ‘{’?Odt, arcld saw later action in tl:: St. Mihiel and the Meuse-Arsged ne offensives, He was woun a third time, Shepherd’s first fi%lﬁni com mand in World War Two was as assistant commander of the First ?’l:uine Division in the New Bri ‘&in campaign. : bis e ‘He legut)h. Marines who captured Guam, and later commander the sixth Division, on Okinawa. “Summer and Smoke” is the second play in the Williams “tri ology” with “The Glass Menag erie” as the first and “Streetcar Named Desire” as the third, It can be classed as neither a comedy or a tragedy, but like Williams’ other plays is described ag “symbolic.” “Summer and Smoke” is an ex pression ‘of Williams’ heightened awareness, of the nature of life— its poignance, its hopes, its disil lusionments, Basically the play is a love story of a Southern girl hound tight with convention and a young doc tor who is not so fettered. A course of years is covered in the play which ends on a wistfully discord ant note common to all Williams’ works. Manderson Stars ' Marge Manderson, of Atlanta, will have one of the leading roles, Miss Manderson, a native of At lanta, is well-known to local audi ences. In 1949 she spent a quarter at the University during which time she appeared in the title role of the brilliant Drama Depart ment production of “Medea.” Last year she was hailed for her per formance of the role of Clytem nestra in the Jeffers play “Tower Beyond Tragedy.” The roles of Medea ,and Clytenmestra, both created for Judith Anderson, one of the world’s greatest actfesses, are monumental and Miss Man derson’s unusually mature and gripping performances in both roles here proved her histrionic abilities. Athenians are looking forward to her interpretation of the role of Alma Winemiller, whose person ality is so decidedly different in comparison with the forceful, driving and powerful figures of Medea and Clytemnestra, Other Leads The other leading role will be played by Ed Iverson, of Savan nah. Sets for the play, designed to heighten the play’s meaning, were designed by Paul A. Camp, thea tre technical director. Lighting effects will be handled by Joel Phillips, theatre electrician. Gay Dangerfield and Michael Sinclair, junior artists-in-residence, assist ed.with the technical production. ~ 'Two Athens school ¢hildren will also have parts in the play. They are Patricia Reynolds, 10, of Hill crest avenue, and Doug Hale, 11, of Saluta street. The two children open the play in a prologue in which they play the parts of the play's leading characters when they were chil dren. The prologue is often omitted from the production of “Summer and Smoke” because the "parts were considered too difficult to find young actors of sufficient ability. Ballew left the prologue in the University. Theatre produc tion because he found his child stars “‘alert, cooperative, and cap able.” Other roles in the play will be played by Rosemary Hill, Wash ington; Theo Shiell, Brunswick; Ashley Able, Chester, N. J.; Kelly Holt, Rochelle; Dell Spector, At lanta; Pat Moseley, Atlanta; Anne Phillips, Louisville; Cliff O'Neill, Augusta; David Shoob, Savannah; Carol Glassman, Great Neck, N. Y.; Eston Perkins, Savannah; and Stan Lippman, Cedar Rapids, Towa. Navy Skyrocket |5 Speedy Plane SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 6 — (AP)—We have a rocket plane, the Navy’s Douglas Skyrocket, so speedy that air friction can make it hotter than boiling water. This plane has gone higher than 72,000 feet, (more than 13 miles) the highest published flight of man. We have three of these planes and the facts uncovered by them, mostly still secret, are expected to benefit many combat planes which still are in the designing board stage. These reports were made by A. M. Mayo, of the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc., El Segundo, Calif., to a symposium on the medical and other human problems ,of speed and flight up near the bor ders of outside space. The symposium here is the first of its kind. It is sponsored by the U. S. Air Force School of Aviation Medicine, Randolph Field, and the Lovelace - Foundation, of Albu querque, New Mexico. Physicians, physicists, flyers, airplane design rs and astronomers are on the {our-day program. . West Honored Henry Robison West, son of Judge and Mrs. Henry H.

EIGHTH ARMY HEADQUARTERS, Korea, Nov. 6—(AP)—Chinese infantrymen ecaptured a third hiil on the expanding western front today and held two other peaks against Allied counterattacks. The Reds won three other hills but lost them again. The three-day-old Red offen sive through drizzling rain over a 20-mile sector. Attacking Reds were supported by their heaviest display of armor Kz months. They hit United Nations forces from points west of Yonchon, eight miles north ci the 38th parallel, to the hills north of Chorwon, west=- ern anchor of their old iron tri angle. Chinese attacks Tuesday took advantage of rains and mist which grounded most U. N. warplanes. The Fifth Air Force reported only 19 successful sorties during the way. Sixteen of these were ra dar-directed bomb attacks on the Red front. Chinese commanders employed elements of a division (up to 10,000 men) in their assaults in the west. p Red Waves In the center of this sector waves of Reds struck from two directions behind a heavy barrage and captured their third peak. The attack opened with a heavy con centration of fire from mortars, artillery, tanks and self-propelled guns. ~ The force of the assault drove Allies from their muddy foxholes atop the hill northwest of Yon chon. West of Yonchon counterattack ing Allied infantrymen were stop ped in an attempt to recapture two hills the Reds overran in a vicious eight-hour battle at the start of their assault Sunday. The U. N. infantrymen fought'to within 500 yards of the crests, under fire of 22 Red tanks. . There they were stopped. Waves of Reds stormed down from the peaks, trying to shove the Allies off the slopes. U. N. troops cut them down and held their posi tions. U. N. forces withdrew from two hills north of Chorwon before a midnight attack by two Chinese battalions. The Allies stormed back after daylight. They found the hills deserted. : i . The third hill won and lost by the Reds is southwest of Yonchon. The Chinese attacked behind a rocket barrage. They were sup ported by four tanks. A counter attack drove them off. The fighting sector reaches to a point scarcely 20 miles from the truce talk village of Panmunjom. A U. N. spokesman said the Reds want to halt the Korean war with out signing an armistice. He said the U. N. would insist on a formal agreement. Front line dispatches reported Red forces were probing lightly into U. N. positions from the flam ing western sector to the east coast. e Eastern Front At the extreme eastern end of the front Seuth Koreans broke up a Red attempt to recapture a hill south of Kosong, 45 miles north of the 38th parallel. The new Red offensive in the west opened after a month of U. N. attacks which U. S. Eighth Ar my Headquarters said cost the Communists 74,758 casualties. They included 48,181 reported killed, 23,366 wounded and 3,211 prisoners. Allied officers said Chinese suf fered heavy casualties in their new attacks.

General Assembly Meets PARIS, Nov. 6 —(AP)— Presi dent Vincent Auriol of France opened the sixth session of the United Nations General Assembly today with an appeal for a Tru= man-Churchili-Stalin meeting in Paris during this session to dis cuss world tensions. Auriol told delegates of 60 na tions, gathered in the theater of the red and gold Palais De Chail lot that such a meeting would be welcomed with joy throughout the world, ) The French president did not mention Prime Minister Stalin, Prime Minister Churchill or Pres ident Truman by name, but refer= red to them as the “distinguished men towards whom all anxious eyes are turned.” He added he was sure that a meeting of the three in private and within the scope of the U. N. eould make pro gress at easing tensions. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky was at his desk in the hall as Auriol spoke. So were U. S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, British Foreign Secre tary Anthony Eden, and French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman. The Western Big Three Foreign Ministers hurried to the opening sessions after a final conference at the French Foreign Ministry to map strategy ¢u an American peace plan which is expected to dominate thrs session. Truman Gives Reason For Eisenhower Visit WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — (AP) President Truman said today the reason for Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower’s visit here was to discuss Europe’s problem of maintaining economic stability while rearming. And, he declared, he fears “much trouble.” Mr. Truman’s statement of why ke called Eisenhower home came shortly before the General left by plane at 11:21 a. m, EST, to re turn to his European defense com mand in France. . The President made it in-an ex~ temporaneous speech to the Na tional Society of Cartocnists. He left many questions unanswered Reds Reject To By-Pass Reds Want War Stopped Without Truce - Nuckols BY NATE PLOWETZKY MUNSAN, Korea, Nov. 6. —The United Nations com mand spokesman said today the Reds want to call off the fighting in Korea without signing a formal armistice. The U. N., he said, will have none of that. Brig. General William P. Nuck ols, the spokesman, told newsmen the Reds tipped their hand Tues day when they rejected the latest Allied proposal. That was an offer Monday to set aside the stale mated cease-fire buffer zone issue for the moment and take up other items that must be settled before a formal armistice can be signed. The Reds demanded, Nuckols said, immediate “final, formal so lution” of the buffer zone matter before proceeding to the rest of the agenda. Nuckols said this would in effect allow a de facto cease-fire — an end to the fighting without formal agreement-~and let armistice talks drag on indefinitely. . Nuckols said he felt the Red re jection was flat and final. Asked how finai he thought it was, Nuck ols replied: “Only time will say how irrevocable it is.” Conflicting View Major General Henry I. Hodes, chief of the U. N. buffer zone sub committee, told newsmen immedi ately after Tuesday’s single session he thought the turn down was “not a final, formal, irrevocable rejection.” Nuckols said that in rejecting the Allied offer, the Reds asserted once a buffer zone was establish ed it would be a mark of “bad faith” for either side to change the boundary of the area by mili tary opexations. -5, There was speculation the Reds wanted an unofficial armistice (1) to get relief from Allied air pound ings, (2) because it might pin down a great amount of the west’s available military forces, and (3) because they can’'t stand another U. N. offensive. Nuckols said the only incentive that makes the Reds keep talking is “continuing pressure of possi ble hostilities.” Nuckols gave this personal opin ion: Nuckols Opinion “A de facto cease-fire without achieving other essential condi tions for an armistice, including specific arrangements relating to prisoners of war now in enemy hands, is not even being consid ered by the United Nations com mand delegation. “I don’t think the United Na tions has any intentions of walk ing away from Korea and leaving several thousands of its men pris oners in enemy hands.” Nuckols said’ Red rejection of the Allied proposal was in effect a turn down of a previous under standing between the Communists and the U. N. — that hostilities would continue until an armistice was signed and that any buffer zone agreed upon before an armis tice was only tentative and sub ject to final revision. An afternoon session was can celled, presumably so the Reds could study further the four point Allied program. The sub committees will meet again at 11 a. m. tomorrow (9. p. m., EST, Tuesday). The U. N. command delegation suggested cancelling the regular afternoon meeting when the Com=- munists declared they would be unable to return to Panmunjom from Kaesong by 3pp m. “They were quite happy at the suggestion,” Hodes said. Steady rain has turned the Pan munjom - Kaesong - Munsan road into a quagmire, making travel difficult. The Allies proposed postponing final settlement of the buffer zone issue until an armistice is agreed upon—then order the cease-fire along the battle line at that time. In the meantime, the problem would be turned over to a six man committee which would study the problem of where the battle line is located when an armistice is reached. but running through his talk was a hint of a developing new crisis for the Western World. It came against the background of the new British government’s expressed concern—voiced in the King’s address to Parliament — over the deterioration of Britain’s economic affairs and the threat of inflation. : Eisenhower met with reporters at the National Airport before boarding his plane. As in previ ous meetings with newsmen, many of the questions put to him dealt with politics. And, as before, Eiscnihower tried to brush them (Continued on Page Two.)

Dwight D. Eisecnhower, who came to Washington t 6 report on the status of Westein Europe’s De~ senses, goes back today, presum abbly with some fresh information for his own guidance, ~ There seemed reason to believe ‘that out of a series of White House and Pentagon conferences the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe, among other things, had learned: 1. How much and how fast Am~ erican production could go in sup plving munitions to equip, at the earliest possible time, a svestern Europe derensive force of up to 30 divisions. The European forces of the North Atlantic Treaty or ‘ganization (NATO) which are ‘equipped and combat-ready now number only about half that. 2. The latest overall plans for strategy and tactics of the Pen tagon high command, possibly in cluding revisions in battlefield techniques dicated by the advent of atomic arms in troop-against troop warfare. leaves At Nocn Eisenhower planned to leave Washington about noon (EST) for the flight to France, which he left last Friday night, Last night he dined with Mr. and Mrs. George Allen, who stayed to chat with him after dinner. Another visitor was Chief Jusice Fred Vinson. A final round of Pentagon meet ings included a scheduled session with the standing group of NATO in Washington, Next on his sche ule wag a meeting with the joint Chiefs of Staff. At 11:15 a. m. he arranged to hold a news conference at the Military Air Transport Terminal of Washington Airport, then board his plane. Eisenhower spent a full day in canferences yesterday, hurring between the Pentagon and the White House. At the day’s end, the public didn’t know much more about what military matters were talked over, and very little more about Eisenhower’s attitude to and the presidential- race in 1952. The General told reporters he did not. discuss politics—*“not a bit” — with Mr. Truman during their private lunch together at Blair House. He also said he had given - nobody any authority to undertake political activity in his behalf. Yet his refusal to give a “yes” or “no” answer to questions as to whether he imight become a Pres idential candidate left him a pos sible top contender for either party’s nomination. Scant Information The official White House an nouncement on what happened at the later, bigger meeting of the President, the General, Military leaders from the Pentagon and de fense production officials was notably scant on information. Presidential press secretary Joseph Short told reporters only that: “The meeting in which you are interested discussed probelins of allocation and production for NATO and SHAPE” (Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers, Europe).
