"It's time for the American people to cast their ballots for liberty at the polls next Tuesday liberty from the Republican 80th do-nothing Congress. What this country needs is not a new President but a new Congress." The kind of Congress needed, he added, is one that is "willing to work with a forward-looking President", on such problems as housing shortages so that every American family can have a decent home at a price it can afford, and will act to strengthen the social and economic structure. He charged that the 80th Congress "murdered" a good housing bill, "killed" price control, weakened social security laws, struck at labor with the Taft-Hartley act, and showed "prejudice" in its displaced persons legislation.

Predicted In Seventh District

Prediction of victory for James E. Noland, Dem.ocratic nominee for Congress from the 7th District were given another boost this week when James A. Hagerty, New York Times political analyist, wrote: "In the Seventh District in Indiana, Representative Gerald W. Landis. Republican is exoected to lose to James Noland, Democrat. The coal miners hold the balance of power in this lose district." Similar predictions of a Noand victory have appeared in everal prominent Hoosier dailes. Robert Bloem, of The Ind-! anapolis Times, said: "Professional politicians of loth maior parties rate young Timmy Noland. of Bloomington, 'he best chance of any Hoosier "Democratic candidate for Con fess to unseat a Republican ncumbent." Ralph L. Brooks, of The Indanapolis Star, said: "Landis barely defeated Noand in a neck and neck race wo years ago. This year's baffle between the two is almost a epetition of the fight two years o. Noland has strong support 'r.m many Republicans, as he lid in the last election, and has the support of a group of former service men." A careful analysis indicates that Noland will carry eight out of eleven counties by a com fortable margin to defeat Landis who has appeared to be losing strength during the last few weeks. Noland, a veteran of World War II and a graduate .of the I. U. School of Law, has put in two years of vigorous campaign ing which has carried him into the small communities of every county and has added strength to his record of 1946 In 1946, Noland lost his y bid for the Seventh District Con gressicnal seat by only 3,000 I votes. He polled one of the larg

Mrs. Edith Asdell, who died Wednes day, will be held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Rails back Funeral Home. The Rev. 1 Jack Anderson will officiate. Noland est votes ever received by a Democratic Congressional nominee in this district, and came closer to unseating his Republican opponent than any other Factors counted as favoring the election of Noland to Congrpss are: 1. Traditionally, a candidate gains strength in his second race. Noland is the only candidate to have won the chance tc face Landis in two consecutive races. 2. Noland came within five votes per precinct of defeating Landis in 1946 Landis' closest shave to date. 3. Noland is supported bv t strong Seventh District Party organization. 4. Noland has strong veteran support.. 5. Landis has continued to lose ground since 1946 with labor. me veteran, ana tne aged in particular, and has lost prestige in the eyes of the people of the District in general 6. Noland-for-Congress Clubs have perfected an organization in all eleven counties .of the district. 7. Opposition of the miners in oreene uounty mase it appear probable that Landis will lose his own home county. Another important factor which is considered to be in Noland's favor is the heavy reg istrati.on reported throughout the district largest in ten years. Congressman Landis is faced with a number of "boogeymen' which haunt him at every turn He is saddled with the record of the Republican Congress on the problems of high prices and housing. He' is associated with the isolationist wing in Congress, and wprst of all, he is being opposed by labor which is determined to unseat him. Noland has made close ties with the "white hat" campaign of Henry F. Schricker for governor which appears to be another factor in his favor,

PARIS, Oct. 28. (UP) Premier Josef Stalin's charge that Western leaders seek war blasted today what little hope remained in the United Nations for an early settlement '..of the Berlin crisis.

By Henry Shapiro United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, Oct. 28. (By telephone to London) (UP) Premier Josef Stalin today accused the United States and Great Britain of seeking a new war through a "policy of aggression." Replying to a questionnaire from the Prussian official newspaper Pravda, the Communist leader said the British and Americans declared "null and void" an agreement reached in the Kremlin conferences Aug. 30 which would have settled the Berlin crisis. He charged that the Western powers put on a "display of aggression" in United Nations Security Council debate on the Berlin question, and once again at tliat time rejected an agreement with Prussia which would have resulted in lifting of the Soviet blockade of Berlin. Stalin charged that the Western powers fear "most of all" to reach any agreement with the Soviet Union.

Peruvian Rebels Proclaim New Government LIMA, Peru, Oct. 28. (UP) Five regiments of army troops have revolted in- southern Peru, seized the country's second city of Arequipa and proclaimed a provisional government, the Arequipa radio said today. The broadcast said the revolution was commanded by Gen. Manuel Odria, age 51, a former cabinet minister and chief of staff of Peruvian forces in the 1940 war with Ecuador. He was credited with bringing victory to Peru.. - , I .. "r'.v Odria was a member of the Pe ruvian General Staff as recently as last month. He was reported to have been confined to his home by illness about a month ago and has made no official appearance since then. The government of Dr. Jose Luis Bustamente Rivero admitted a rebellion had broken out in southern Peru. The government said troops had been rushed south from Lima and other northern and central points to quell the" uprising. The rebel broadcast from Arequipa, which the government radio attempted unsuccessfully to jam, said the revolt was directed toward overthrowing the Bustamente government because it permitted unhampered activities by the leftist Aprista party. The broadcast said a provisional government had been established by the rebels with Arequipa, some 500 miles south of Lima, as the. rebel capital. The provisional government, the broadcast said, would respect all of Perus' international commitments. The rebel reports said Odria's force took over Arequipa with ease. It claimed the rebels also were in control of all southern Peru. Tackle Friday against them. Likewise, the Arrows are unbeaten in this division. They beat Washington, and the Bloomington loss will not count in legaue play. However, the Arrows are not eligible for the championship as they do not play the necessary four games in their division, whinh means that even should the Arrows trip Bicknell, Bulldoes can still claim the th( crown. The Arrows have been handicapped by bruises suffered ir their past four games, and probably will not be in top condition for the Bulldog game. Rer McClure sprained an ankle, and while he will play, he will no1 be able to go at top speed. Last year the Bulldogs ended a twelve-year drouth as far as victories over the Arrows were concerned with an 18 to 6 triumph. The locals' are about to start another string over the Bulldogs and to stay unbeaten in the little division of the S.I.A.C.

"The thing is," he told Pravda, "that those who Inspire the aggressive policy in the ' United States and Great Britain do not consider themselves interested in agreement and in cooperation with the U.S.S.R. "What they want is not agreement and cooperation, but talk about agreement and cooperation, so as to put the blame on the U.S.S.R. by preventing agreement, and to 'prove' that cooperation is impossible." He said that what "the. war investigators trying to unleash a new war are afraid of most t of all is reaching an agreement and cooperating with the U.S.S.R. because of concord with the U.S.S.R. undermines the position of the instigators." Reach Agreement Stalin, in reply to a question as to whether an agreement had been reached on the - Berlin question at any time, said that a settlement was decided ' upon in conferences at the Kremlin between envoys of the Western Powers and high Soviet officialj. This agreement was reached on August 30 this year, he said, on the basis of simultaneous.

lifting of the Soviet blockade of the Western sectors of Berlin and establishing the Sovietsponsored East German mark as the sole currency in the German capital. It was this agreement, Stalin said, that Britain and the United States declared "null and void," and which they refused by their "display, of aggression" to accept at the Paris United Nations meeting. He was refering to conferences held at the Kremlin over a period of about a month, during which U. S. Ambassador Walter . Bedell Smith. British Special Envoy Frank Roberts, and French Ambassador Yves Chataigneau met a number of times with Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Stalin himself. Four Months Cld The Western Powers sought these conferences to reach an agreement for ending the Soviet blockade of Berlin which now is more than four months old. Stalin appeared to be saying that it was the fault .of the Western powers that the agree ment in principle which was reached at the Kremlin was .not implemented at conferences on the level of the four-power military governors cf Germany which followed in Berlin. . Asked whether an agreement had been reached in Paris before the Berlin matter was referred to the UN Security Council. Stalin replied: . "That is true. Mr. (Juan A.) Bramuglia, representative of Argentina and president of the Security Council, who conduct ed the unofficial talks with Comrade (Anc"j-ei) Vishinsky on behalf of the powers concerned, lid have in his hands an agreed Iraft decision on the question )f the situation in Berlin, but "epresentatives of the United States and Great Britain once again declared" that to be null and void." A communique containing the questions ot the Fravda correspondent and Stalin's replies was handed to foreign correspondents at 4:30 p. m. at the office of the press department of the Ministry of FoVeign Affairs. It was the first communique issued by the press department in many months.
