U.S. Observes Territorial Polls,
Looks For Wide National 'Tarends
JUNEAU, Alasla 4P) - Alaska's Democrats ran up a big lead
yesterday in mounting returns from Tuesday's general election.
In returns from, nearly half the far-flung territory's 271 precincts,
-including most of the large ones,-Democrats won or led in races
for 28 of 39 territorial offices and legislative seats.
They led in five of the six territory-wide races, which include two
U. S. "senators" and a "representative" to go to Congress in behalf
of statehood. They held leads for .19 territorial House seats to the
Republicans' 5. For territorial Senate seats, Republicans lead in five
to the Democrats' four, but one of the Democrats four swung back
and forth during the day's tallying.

Telephones
To Be Had
In November
Michigan Bell Telephone Com-
pany has encountered a demand
for student telephones greater
than it can immediately satisfy.
Persons who have ordered tele-
phones during the past month
have been informed by Michigan
Bell that they must wait until No-
vember for installation.
According to N. J. Prakken,
manager of ,the Ann Arbor office,
of Michigan Bell, the tie-up is due
to shortage of central equipment
and unanticipated demands.
"At present we have a backlog
of about 400 orders," Prakken
stated. "There appear to be many
more students living off campus
this year who need their own tele-
phones."
He explained that the building
of new equipment has been under-
way and should be completed by
November.
"However, we have a priority
plan," Prakken noted, "by which
we can give immediate service in
cases where there is a special need.
This includes such persons as doc-
tors, public officials, newspaper
reporters, or situations of illness."
He added that priority is also
granted to'veterans with families
who apply within'-two years fol-
lowing their discharge.
Prakken said he wished to clari-
fy the priority situation which will
arise on North Campus with the
completion of Northwood Apart-
ments.
"Students who have been living
x elsewhere in Ann Arbor with a
telephone," he said, "will have
higher priority when they move
to North Campus than those stu-
dents who live there now without
a phone. That is, those moving
within the next month will get
their new phones before those who
are already living there."
Prakken emphasized however,
that all orders should be fulfilled
during .November.
Negro Vote
Gets Hearing
Interest
h wide U. S. interest because of the
's of territorial results in presaging
.national congressional trends --
although never to such extremes
as in this north country.
In the race for delegate to Con-
gress, E. L. Bartlett, the biennial
Democratic winner, ran up a mar-
gin of nearly 2 to 1 aver Byron
Gillam, former Fairbanks mer-
chant.
The vote totals yesterday in-
cluded:
For U. S. "senator" six-year
term - Former Gov. Ernest Grue-
ning (D) leading territorial Sen.
John Butrovich (R), 6,357 to 6,197.
For four-year term-Territorial
Sen. William Egan (D) leading
publisher RobertgAtwood of An-
chorage, 6,010 to 5,259.
For "representative" in Con-
gress-Territorial Sen. Ralph Riv-
ers (D) 6,957 to 5,291 for Charles
Burdick (R).
Alaska's Importance
In advance of the vote count,
however, Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall dis-
counted the importance.of Alaska
as a national indicator. He said
the Alaska voting centered too
much on the statehood issue to be
any yardstick for voting sentiment
in the states.
Adlai E. Stevenson, on the oth-
er hand, had wired the Alaska
Democrats earlier: "We are confi-
dent that Alaska. will follow Maine
in forecasting a Democratic vic-
tory in November."
Statehood stands of the national
parties figured prominently in the,
campaigns of the candidates for
the non-existent U. S. Senate posi-
tions. The Democrats insisted their
party was the strong pro-statehood
party and that President Dwight
D. Eisenhower had failed to en-
dorse statehood without restric-
tions.

Corresp'ondent Says
Eisenhower To Win
Childs Analyzes Candidates, Issues
Of Current Campaign In Speech
By VERNON NAHRGANG
Washington correspondent Marquis Childs yesterday analyzed the
major candidates and issues of the current political campaign and
guessed that President Dwight D. Eisenhower would be-elected in
November.
President Eisenhower, Childs said, is recognized throughout the
world as a great leader. "No other American," he said, "could have
brought about a realistic peace with the Soviet world."
Integration Problem Ignored
However, Childs told a hushed Hill Auditorium audience, nowhereI
in the campaign
are we getting a realistic discussion of the major
" issue, desegregation of schools,
Crops Seen
Third Largest
On Record
WASHINGTON )-The Agri-
culture Department, in a harvest-
time report, yesterday said crop
production this year appears to be
the third largest on record and
only about 1 per cent 'below the
peak volume produced in 1948.
Prospects were said to have in-
creased 1 per cent during Septem-
ber under generally favorable late-
growing season and harvesting
conditions.
This increase may have some
political significance because it
can be expected to increase farm
income somewhat in some Mid-
western agricultural areas where
Licks Wins
Series Tite
for Yanks
BROOKLYN P)-Slender John-
ny Kucks humiliated Brooklyn
with a three-hit shoutout to win
the 1956 World Series for the New
York Yankees in the seventh gamei
yesterday with the fearsome back-
ing of four home runs, including
two by Yogi Berra and a grand
slammer by Bill Skowron:
After losing six straight at the
Ebbets Field "bandbox," the Yanks
again crushed Don Newcombe in
the big game to end the Dodgers'
one-year reign. This time the score
was 9-0. It was the Yanks' 17th
championship in 22 attempts and
their sixth over Brooklyn in seven
series.
Kucks Sharp
Kucks, a 23-year-old right-
hander from Jersey City with low,
breaking stuff had the Brooks
rolling out or popping to the in-
field all through the sunny but
chill afternoon. Before it ended,
many of the fans had started for
the subway, muttering, "Go home
Brooklyn."
Climaxing this fine comeback
after losing the first two games in
Brooklyn, the Yankees ended a
two-year span of National League
supremacy and restored the Amer-
ican's edge to 34-19. Only one other
club, the Dodgers of 1955, ever
fought back to win a seven-game;
series after dropping the first two.
Kucks, making his first series
start after four relief jobs, didn't,
allow a hit after Duke Snider
slicked a single to left in the first
until Carl Furillo dropped a soft
liner into center for another single
with one out in the eighth. Snider
lined a single to center with two
out in the ninth for the third hit.
Only One Struck Out
It was a tremendous effort by
another Yankee pitcher and a sur-
prising performance by an 18-
game winner who was not effective
in late season. Kucks walked three
and didn't strike out a man until
he whiffed Jackie Robinson for the
final out of the game. Robinson,
incidentally, had to be thrown out
which "bears on the very core of
our foreign policy."
The American people, Childs ex-
plained, cannot realize the impact
of "Students Drive Negro from
C'ampus" headlines in the news-
papers of Burma, India, Thialand
and other nations.
Speaking in a hushedvoice, yet
with clear accents, the nationally-
known news analyst said Adlai
Stevenson's greatest handicap is
that of "an introvert who finds
it hard to speak with people."
Stevenson, Childs said sympa-
thetically, is also a tired man after
campaigning for nearly a year as
well as a foolish man for not mak-
ing best use of television and other
mass media as President Eisen-
hower has done.
Adlai Attributes
On the other hand, the column-
ist explained, the best case for
Stevenson is that he can "bring to
bear on the great problems of our
day" his great knowledge and in-
tellectual attitudes.
Having followed and reported
and analyzed the candidates
throughout the campaign, Childs
noted a few trends and made some
"guesses" about election results.
Eisenhower's Popularity'
"It seems incredible," he said,
"that an enormously popular fig-
ure (President Eisenhower) in a
time of wide prosperity-general
prosperity-could be defeated."
However, the author of "Wash-
ington Calling" noted a "great up-
surge" in the Democratic Party,
which has won "virtually every
election on every level" since 1952.
Childs predicted both the house
and the senate would go democrat-
ic in this year's election and that
the total popular vote would be
lower than that of four years ago.
SGC Meets
In Closed
Session
Possible Resignation
Of Wrona Considered
Student Government Council
met in closed executive session last
night to consider the possible res-
ignation of Public Relations
Chairman John Wrona, '57.
According to several SGC mem-
bers who asked not to be named,
Council President Bill Adams, '57
BAd, asked Wrona for his resigna-
tion before the regularly scheduled
meeting. Wrona refused to resign
on grounds that current scalping
charges against him did not im-
pair his usefulness to the council.
Wrona was fined $21.25 Monday
in Municipal Court for scalping
tickets to the Michigan-Michigan
State game Saturday. He has in-
timated that Joint Judiciary
Council will hear his case soon,
although he has received no of-
ficial notification of such action.
At last night's meeting, Wrona
called for a straw vote among
Council members to help him de-
Stermine whether or not he should
resign. Adams asked that the
Council. go into Executive Ses-
sion, excluding constituents and
press, to discuss the question.
No vote was taken, but at the
end of the session, the feeling re-
portedly was that the decision lay
with Wrona.
But in the opinion of several
Council members, there was strong
sentiment against his remaining
on the Council.
Several faculty and administra-
tion representatives have report-
edly expressed deep concern over
Wrona's effectiveness as a Public
Relations Chairman, due to hi
scalping activities.
Before Executive Session was
called, Wrona maintained that his
usefulness to the student body had
not been affected by publicity re-
sulting from the ticket scalping
incident.
Air Force
Jets Collide ,
Above Lake
CHICAGO (RP) - Two Air Force
pilots, whose planes collided, para-
chuted into the cold waters of
Lake Michigan yesterday from
their jet fighters.
One pilot was rescued three
hours later.
A desperate night search was
on for the other.
Air Force headquarters at
O'Hare Field in Chicago said the
F86 Sabre jets collided over the
lake near Sheboygan, Wis. Both
pilots were seen to parachute from
the planes, the Air Force said.

They spread on the island and
lapped over onto the Kowloon
mainland part of Hong Kong ad-
joining Red China.
Anti-Red
The first reported incident be-
gan as an anti-Red demonstration
by refugees sympathetic to the
Chinese Nationalists.
They were protesting removal!
of Chinese flags in a housing de-
velopment on Nationalist China's
anniversary celebration of Sun
Yat-sen's Chinese Republic.
The rioters used stones, sticks
and iron bars. For hours police
used only tear gas in a vain at-
tempt to halt the mobs. Scores
were arrested.
Then, to break up a crowd of
1,000 in the principal street of
Kowloon, the police opened fire
yesterday morning for the first
time.
Reinforce Britains
Special constabulary and civil-
ian police reserves in the refugee-
crammed colony *ere ordered to
reinforce the 6,000 Britons, Chi
nese and Pakistanis serving in the
British forces who make up Hong
Kong's regular police.
The emergency mobilization was
ordered after a mob of several
thousand Chinese Nationalists be-
gan an assault on the Li Cheng
Uk police post on the Kowloon
mainland. #
Five hundred policemen were
beseiged in the post. They were
finally evacuated.
The trouble started yesterday
when a housing administrator be-
gan tearing down some of the
thousands of red and blue Nation-
alist Chinese flags raised in Hong
Kong's annual "Battle of the
Flags." Anti-Communists always
try to outdo Communists who raise
red flags in Hong Kong to observe
their new national holiday Oct. 10.

MOBS BREAK LOOSE:
Police Fire on Chinese
In Hong kong Outbreak
By The Associated Press
Police fired on rioting Chinese yesterday after 18 hours of fren-
zied attack and looting by mobs in the worst Hong Kong outbreak in
a generation.
The sparkthat set off the rioting was an anti-Communist demon-
stration.
Four persons were killed and more than 200 wounded, 20 of them
seriously. Property losses are likely to be counted in millions of dollars.
Six Beaten
Six Europeans were beaten or stoned by the mobs.

Stevenson
i
Calls GOP
Indiffere-nt
By The Associated Press
Adlai E. Stevenson added some
new heat to the presidential race
yesterday, saying President Dwight
D. Eisenhower's words don't square
with acts of his administration.
P r e s i d en t Eisenhower had
chargd the Democrats with "po-
litical irresponsibility at its worst"
in saying that the Republicans are
indifferent to the needs of the
people.
In effect, Stevenson's reply was
to repeat that the Republicans
have been. indifferent, despite all
President Eisenhower says.
Carry Argument
President Eisenhower will have
an opportunity to carry this argu-
ment along at a news conference
today.
He may also be asked about
Stevenson's comment yesterday
that President Eisenhower has ex-
panded his campaign because "the
Republican managers have de-
cided that while they don't mind
a part-time President, they can't
stand a part-time candidate."
Stevenson's speech, at Portland,
Ore., was in reply to the one Presi-
dent Eisenhower made Tuesday
night at Pittsburgh.
Single Interests
Stevenson said, what President
Eisenhower says "reflects little
realization of the fact that his ad-
ministration is made up almost en-
tirely of men who represent a
single set of interests."
Also yesterday Stevenson an-
nounced formation of a 50-mem-
ber national business council of
"well-known leaders in business"
who are supporting his campaign.
Stevenson said the business
council, headed by Joseph P. Ken-
nedy and William L. Clayton, will
seek to get across to business gen-
erally the views Stevenson has on
the national economy.
Kefauver, Nixon
Both vice-presidential candi-
dates were active yesterday as
usual, Democrat Estes Kefauver in'
New York State and Republican
Richard Nixon in California.
Kefauver said at Buffalo that
Nixon "represents the triumph of
the old guard in the Republican
party" and if he should follow
President Eisenhower to the presi-
dency, "the Republican old guard
will be the master of America."

Council Acts
On Motion
By 14-2 Vote
To Inform Sorority
National Council
Of SGC's Action
By TAMMY MORRISON
Sigma Kappa sorority's status
at the University will be decided
Dec. 5.
Student Government Council
voted 14-2 last night to inform
the sorority's National Council and
all other interested persons that
final action would be taken at that
time.
The Council acted on a motion
by Daily Editor Dick Snyder, '57,
substituted for the original motion
by SGC President Bill Adams; '57
BAd. Snyder's motion read
"Interested Parties"
"Statement to the National
Council of Sigma Kappa and all
interested parties (to be deter-
mined by SGC's Executive Com-
mittee and the Panhellenic Presi-
dent):
" 'On Dec. 5, Student Govern-
ment Council will make a decision
on the question of a possible vio-
lation of University regulations on
te part of Sigma Kappa. At that
time the Council will act on the
basis of all available information.
Student Government Council con-
siders this statement an official
invitation to all interested parties
to present all pertinent informa-
tion which they desire.' "
Statement
Snyder asked that the state-
ment also include:
1) A detailed explanation of
SGC's jurisdictional resporisibili-
ties concerning University mem-
bership policy regulations.
2) An explanation of why the
Council is considering the ques-
tion and what available facts have
been brought to its attention.
3) An expression of SGC's feel-
ing that it will be in the national's
best interest to cooperate.
Council Vote
The Council voted, also 14-2, to
substitute Snyder's motion for
Adams'. Public Relations Chair-
man John Wrona, '57 and Student
Representation Chairman Don
Good, '57E, dissented.
Adams' motion asked that the
Council suspend recognition of the
local chapter if the national did
not make it's membership policy
clear by Nov. 20 and further asked
that recognition be completely
withdrawn if the national did not
make its membership policy clear
by Jan. 23.
Debate Centered
Debate centered mainly on the
question of Council jurisdiction.
Expressing the view that SGC
would have no right to act un-
less the issue were brought into a
court of law by the suspended Cor-
nell or Tufts Sigma Kappa chap-
ters, Good said, "If we have to
make a decision, then we'll have,
to do something about it."
Citing three passages from Uni-
versity Regulations concerning
Student Affairs Conduct and Dis-
cipline to support the view that
decision on Sigma Kappa lay with
SGC, Snyder said, "Indefinite
postponement would be unwise,
unfair, and irresponsible as far
as the responsibility which the
campus has bestowed on SGC is
concerned."
Burden of Proof
