TRUSIEE FBI OPENS IN UNITED NATIONS TODAY

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 4 (UP) The battle of trusteeship opened in the United Na. tions today with South Africa 1 making a bid for annexation of the mandated territory of Southwest Africa, which was almost certain to be opposed by Russia. The trusteeship committee buckled down to work on the disposition of mandated territory and the land taken from the enemy during the war, with the entire problem cast in a new light by President Truman's reiteration yesterday that the United States would keep the Pacific islands captured from the Japs. Mr. Truman's statement was certain to have a big effect on all the deliberations here. Prime Minister Jan Christian Smuts, of the Union of South Africa, opened his nation's drive for the annexation of Southwest Africa, the former German territory of the mandate since World War I, which he described as an "integral" part of South Africa. LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y., Nov. 4. nTPIThe hattle of trustee ship opened in the United Nations today with Britain accusing Russia of "pigeon-holing trusteeship agreements and blocking the establishment of the new system for administering territory taken from the enemy." Ivor Thomas, British delegate, bitterly attacked Russia before the trusteeship committee after Prime Minister Jan Christian Smuts of the Union of South Africa argued for annexation of Southwest.

Since '88 Mr. McCammon was a precinct committeeman for 20 years in the Paxton section. He cast his first vote shortly after his 21st birthday, October 29, 1888 and recalls that he had a great time kidding the late John Purcell, father of the Democratic candidate for Prosecuting Attorney John Knox Purcell, because Mr . Purcells 21st birthday fell two weeks later too late to vote in the election. Aside from being possibly the record-holder for continuous voting in Sullivan County, Mr. McCammon is one of the most regular readers of the Times- He has been a subscriber of the Sullivan Democrat for as long as he can remember and has been a Times reader ever since its founding in 1905.

EDITORIAL Be Sure To Vote Tomorrow Every Indiana voter should be certain to exercise the privilege of the franchise tomorrow. It is a privilege that has been preserved for us at a frightful cost of blood and treasure. To treat it lightly or indifferently is to cheapen one of the great, basic elements of our democracy. A small vote in any election can only mean that democracy is sick in the particular community where people take their government so much for granted. A .ballot is a direct contribution to democracy because the aggregate of the ballots cast may well determine whether democracy is sick or well. Lots of people contributed their lives to democracy in the last and previous wars you can contribute five minutes to vote. Lots of people traveled to the far corners of the earth to fight for democracy you can walk two blocks to the polling place. Every voter should donate those minutes, plus the time required to vote, to his democracy. Be sure to vote tomorrow.

I want to urge all registered voters to vote early and if their names are not on the registration books in their precinct, to call Democratic Countv Headquarters, Telephone 365. charges reversed, which will send a car for them and send a person to the Clerk's office with them to see that Certificate of Error is obtained.
