PARIS, Sept. 24 (UP)—Russia rejected today an invitation by Secretary of State George C. Marshall to abandon the “selfimposed minority” of the Soviets in the United Nations. The Russians carried to the floor of the General Assembly their futile fight to restrict assembly debate and eliminate from its program five items, most of which Mr. Marshall had urged for consideration. The Soviets lost a similar fight in the steering committee yesterday. The ywere voted down 12 to 2 on each issue. But Jacob Malik; Soviet delegate, reopened the fight this afternoon when the agenda came before the full Assembly for adoption. He warned that. their inclusion would bode ill for the United Nations. Mr. Marshall’ held out an olive branch to the Russians yesterday when he told the Russians that their minority position was self-imposed. Nations consistently in the minority would be welcomed into the majority, he said.

The Democratic statement asserted that “thousands of voters”, had to be turned away from the, branch office in Wayne Township, during a one-day operation last Monday because the facilities were not adequate to handle overflow crowds.
Of Both Parties “We have estimated that more than 5000 residents of voting age, both Republicans and Democrats, have not had ample opportunity to get registered and we are demanding reopening of the branch offices there another day next week,” declared Harry Gasper, Democratic registration chief, However, he said, Republican] headquarters through its secre-| tary Addison Dowling sent word to Democratic headquarters that GOP Chairman James W.
