Calm May Stop
'At Any Moment'
SEOUL, Wednesday, Nov. 5-(R)
4--An uneasy calm settled over the
frost-nipped Korean Central and
Eastern Fronts Tuesday.
An Eighth Army headquarters
spokesman reported the Sniper
Ridge and Triangle Hill sector was
the quietest since the Allies
launched their limited offensive 23
days ago.
* s
DESPITE THE lull, renewed
fighting could erupt at any mo-
ment, front dispatches cautioned.
Associated Press Correspond-
ent John Randolph on the Cen-
tral Front said artillery fire
by both Allied and Commun-
ist sides dropped off sharply
after daylight Tuesday and
-:there was no ground contact.
The last fighting of consequence
came early Tuesday when Allied
defenders hurled back 300 Chinese
Communists assaulting Sniper
Ridge in the center and a battalion
of North Koreans who attacked
Heartbreak Ridge in the east.
s * .
BOTH RANDOLPH and Corres-
pondent William C. Barnard on
the Western Front reported in-
creased interest in the last two
days in the presidential contest
aut "home.
Chilled GIs from seven Amer-
ican divisions and their sup-
porting forces back of the front
lines huddled around portable
radios in bunkers and at head-
quarters sets. A stream of ee-
tion bulletins, beamed by the
armed forces radio, was trans-
mitted as soon as they became
available.
Interest in the election was
sharpened by the prominence of
the Korean War as an issue in the
closing days of the campaign
The lull of the fighting front
also extended to the air war over
Northwest Korea. Sabre Jets, pa-
trolling MIG Alley near the Man-
churian border reported no con-
tact with the Red Air Force.

Soviet Plane
'TOKYO-(MP-Two U.S. Thun-
derets patrolling Northern Japan
intercepted a fighter with Soviet
markings yesterday and escorted
it eastward to toe Russian boun-
dary, Far East Air Forces head-
quarters announced.
No shots were exchanged.
The incident took place over the
Nemuro Peninsula of Eastern Hok-
kaido Island where an American
B-29 with eight persons aboard
was believed shot down by Rus-
sian fighters Oct. 7.
Early Ike
Lead Cracks
'SolidSouth'
(Continued from Page 1)
Capturing an almost instantan-
eous lead last night Gen. Eisen-
hower rode on to greater and
greater vote margins as the whole
GOP ticket throughout the coun-
try turned up surprising Republi-
can strength.
Long before midnight it became
apparent that the GOP were go-
ing to break the solid South for
the first time since 1928 as first
returns showed commanding Eis-
enhower leads in Virginia and
Florida.
TEXAS, South Carolina and
Tennessee also swung over to the
Republican column initially al-
though South Carolina eventually
went Democratic.
Then came the New England
sweep with Rhode Island going
GOP for the first time since
1928 and doubtful Connecticut
landsliding to Ike by, huge mar-
gins.
One after another the big city
states, classified in the "doubtful"
group for most of the election,
were conceded to the Republicans
or developed strong GOP leads.
* * *
THIS WAS the straw that broke
the Democratic back, for Steven-
son's greatest hope had been to
gain huge city margins in these
states to offset traditionally Re-
publican rural areas.
Added to the victories in New
York, Michigan, Illinois, Califor-
nia and the others was an Eisen-
hower landslide in' Arizona and
Oklahoma, states which had al-
ways gone down the line for Demo-
crats.
And it was clear that the GOP
swing might include victory in
boh houses of Congress-an even-
tually that almost no one was
willing to predict prior to the great
Eisenhower triumph.

AT THE American Legion Hall,
where most of the Republican can-
didates and supporters were gath-
ered for the all-night stand, in-
cumbent Rep. George Meader
could foreseehvictory by 1 a.m.
today. At that time, the vote
stood 30,831 as compared with
17,358 for his Demicratic opponent,
Prof. John Dawson of the law
school.
Commenting on the election
results shortly after Gov. Adlai
Stevenson conceded, Rep. Mead-
er said, "I think this has been
a milestone in American pro-
gress. The Republican party now
has a terrific responsibility and
challenge ahead of it.
"I believe," he continued, "that
the end result will be to the ad-
vantage of the American people
and the American system of gov-
ernment."
He declined comment on his own
imminent victory, since "Washte-
naw County always goes Republi-
can."
"The important thing is the na-
tional trend," he maintained.

Whether or not President-elect
Eisenhower will have a Republican
majority in the House of Represen-
tatives was still very much in doubt
as slow returns came in from the
nation at 3 a.m. today.
Based largely on early returns
from the South, Democrats
chalked up 165 seats in the House
while Republicans were climbing
ahead of last night's reports with
127 seats to their credit.
Democrats won their House
seats in Arkansas, Alabama, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, South Carolina and
Texas. A clean sweep for the par-
ty was recorded in RhodeIsland.
Gubernatorial election results
also trickled in gradually with most
of the nation's 29 governor's posts
at stake in the electipn still in
doubt as of this morning.
Prior to yesterday's election, the
strength of the two major par-
ties in the state capitals was about
equally divided-there were 25 Re-
publican governors in office and 23
Democrats. Fifteen Democratic
and 14 Republican governorships
were at stake in the elections.
In one of the few out-state gu-
bernatorial reports compiled, in-
cumbent Ohio Democrat Frank J.
Lausche led Republican Charles
P. Taft by a 380,827 to 311,711 vote
with more than 2,000 polling
places out of 10,877 recorded.
