Washington for the next two Hoosiers elected a Republican Senator to succeed a Republican Senator, returned two Democrats and eight Republicans to the national House of Representatives, elected a GOP candidate to the seat vacated by a Republican Congressman in the Eighth District, and chose a solid GOP ticket of ten candidates for State House offices. Representatives Gerald W. Landis, Republican, Seventh District, and Noble J. Johnson, Republican, Sixth District, were assured of victory in mid-morning as their margms increased with the slow tabulation of returns. Edward A. Mitchell, Republican, Evansville, won a closely.

FIGHT TO LIMIT

POWER OVER NEW

IBS UN

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Nov, 6. (UP) The fight to limit the United Nations Security Council s Dower over new members was renewed in the UN assembly's Political and Security Committee today and members finally found their wav out of a parlimentary morass touched off by a seem ingly simple Argentine proposal. By a vote of 46 to 3 the 51member committee approved a report recommending that the Assembly accept Sweden, Afghanistan, and Iceland as new members of the world organization. It contained an Argentine amendment which, although minor, plunged the committee into a four-hour fracas yesterday and another ninety minutes of par liamentary dueling today. June Planted Corn In County High In Moisture Moisture content of June planted corn in the county variety plots ranged from 27 for short season hybrids to , 40 fori late ones, according to County Agent, O. K. Anderson. Indiana certified 813, which had the highest yield of the twenty-eight hybrids planted, tested 31 moisture in plots on both the Elmer Riggs and Allan Coulson farms where the tests were located. Corn carrying 20 to 22 moisture in the grain, is consifierea safe for cribbing. With the slow drying weather of November, corn car rying 30 moisture cannot be ex pected to reach 20 this fall or during the winter. While it may safely be cribbed after the weather turns cold, it is likely to be too wet for safe keeping during the warm weather of next spring. Consequently high moisture corn should be sold or fed during the winter months, and only low moisture content corn retained, for next spring and summer useA large number of promising experimental hybrids from Purdue, four white hybrids and a few closed pedigree commercials along with extensively certified hybrids were included in the county plots already measured. As soon as the yields can be determined on the John F. Allan farm in Curry Township, a report of yields of all hybrids will be available from the county agent's office. In the rate of planting test on the Riggs farm, two stalks per hill produced 80 bushel of corn per acre. When three grains were planted, the yield was 100 bushels per acre. The yield was increased to 111 bushels when four grains per hill were planted and five plants per hill produced 121 bushel. A 50 increase in yield resulted from doubling the stand on the highly fertile soil on this farm. TRUMAN SILENT ON GOP VICTORY WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (UP) President Truman returned to the capital today still silent on the sweeping Republican victory in yesterday's election. The president turned down all requests by newsmen for comment on the election. Previously, the only thing Mr. Truman said about the election was that the Democrats will win, "of course." That was in St. Louis before the tabulations began and the returns began to show Republican victories in House and Senate.

Republicans

In First Win In Sixteen Years Capture Senate With Total Of At Least Forty -Nine Seats And Elect 222 Members To House Of Representatives; Joseph W. Martin To Be Speaker Of House.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. (UP) Republicans won control of Congress today in a country-wide election swing to the right after sixteen years of Democratic rule. The GOP captured the Senate on the basis of incomplete returns with a total of at least forty-nine seats. As of 10:00 a. m. (CST) it had elected 222 members to the House of Representatives, four more than needed for a majority. .-'J. Five Senate contests remained in doubt in Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, Utah and West Virginia. , v The Republican sweep in a great turn-out of voters throughout the country thrust upon President Truman the difficult task of dealing with an opposition Congress during the remaining two years of his present White House term.

GOP Successful In 8th Attempt To Gain Control Today the Republican party completed a successful . eighth attempt to regain control of the House of Representatives, which they lost to the Democrats in 1931. The 1930 election whittled the Republican holdings to such a narrow margin that deaths and other vacancies prevented them from organizing the house in 1931, although they elected a majority in 1930. In 1932, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was first elected, Republicans lost 97 House seats and in the 1936 election their House holdings dropped to a low of 89 seats. They started a comeback in 1938 when they picked up 80 seats and in 1942 boosted the number up to 209, only thirteen less than the Democrats. They lost 19 seats two years ago when the Roosevelt name again headed the Democratic ticket. The 1932 election wrested senate control from the Republicans and their seats in that body dwindled to a low of seventeen after the 1936 election. In 1942 they gained back to 38 seats and again in 1944. Today, returns from over the nation indicate that the GOP has gained control of both the Senate and House for the first time in 16 years. BAPTIST CHURCH TO END MEETINGS FRIDAY NIGHT "Redemption As Seen in the Four Gospels" is the sermon subject for tonight's service at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Wayne Buchanan, the evangelist, announces that he will speak tomorrow night on "Gone With the Wind" and Friday night's message will be "A Conversation Between Two Dead Men." The meetings will close Friday night, and there will be Homecoming Day Services at the church Sunday with a covered dish dinner at noon and an afternoon service at 2:30. Double Rin? Ceremony CHESTER, Pa. (UP) Harold Brown's marriage was a doublering ceremony he had to buy a second band in a hurry after the first was stolen from his car on the day of the wedding. Brown was married on schedule.

convening next January 3rd will have Joseph W. Martin, Jr., veteran Massachusetts Republican, as speaker of the House. Senator Arthur H. Vandenburg who has been the Republican Chief Advisor to Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, probably will' be President of the Senate. Republicans have promised that the new Congress will overhaul the government- They have pledged reduced taxes and sharp cuts in federal spending in an effort to balance the national budget. The election victory which stripped Democrats of their power in many of the country's big cities where they had beenunbeatable during the regime of the late President Roosevelt, resulted in an early speculation on a possible GOP triumph in the 1948 Republican race. . ,, Governor j Thomas E., pejwey- of New York ' who unsuccessf ully opposed-Mr..'

Preliminary returns in a surjvey reveal 86,. per cent of the ballots favoring at least a year of militarv -'training for all ablebodied young men. This compares with 61 per cent favoring universal postwar training in the autumn of 1944, when a similar survey was conducted- - '." Of the 86 per cent favoring military training in the current survey, slightly more than half, or 46 per cent of the whole vote, express a preference for a pro gram of military training admin istered along R.O.T.C. lines throughout the four years of high school. The other 40 per cent in favor feel that better v results would be obtained from a year of training administered in a separate program after graduation from high school.
