Williams Leads Michigan Race; Ferguson Ahead
Michigan's popular Gov. G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams early this morning held a lead of 33,000 votes over his Republican opponent, Donald S. Leonard, in yesterday's balloting, but incumbent Republican Sen. Homer Ferguson appeared to be winning in his race with Democrat Patrick V. McNamara.
Sen. Ferguson's margin was 172-100 votes. A total of 45 per cent of the state's votes was reported in the senatorial race.
Gov. Williams, first elected in 1948 and subsequently re-elected in 1950 and 1952 by shaky margins, received 216,000 votes, compared with Mr. Leonard's 183,000. The Ferguson total was 469,000, and Mr. McNamara's was 296,900.
Anderson Leads New Mexico Vote
New Mexico's incumbent Sen. Clinton P. Anderson won the Senate race yesterday when his opponent, Edwin Mechem, conceded the election.
Sen. Anderson, ex-secretary of agriculture, held a lead of 8,300 votes in his bid for re-election. In the latest reports Mr. Mechem, with 26,700 votes, trailed the 35,000 total of Sen. Anderson.
K-State Does It— Why Can't We?
With mid-semesters, term papers, homecoming decorations, and pre Thanksgiving fatigue bearing down, a holiday from classes would be more than welcomed by KU students.
The holiday last Monday at K-State added insult to injury after the Wildcat's victory over the Jayhawkers. Traditionally at Kansas State after a victory over KU, the student council requests President James A. McCain to grant a day of freedom. Traditionally it is granted.

Realizing that the academic year at K-State includes "floating holidays" that can be granted anytime during the year, bleary-eyed KU students still hope for an idle day tradition.
Man Is Becoming More Amphibious
Madison, Wis. —(U.P.)— Naval research reports recently presented here indicate that man is becoming increasingly amphibious.
At least that's the implication in a report presented at a meeting of the American Physiological Society.
Greater lung capacity and new breathing patterns were cited as man's new acquisitions. The changes occur when skin divers and spear fishermen swim regularly under water without a breathing apparatus.
According to the report of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Laboratory, the swimmers adapt to the needs of their new environment. The lung capacity increases and the breathing rate is cut.
Scientists found that swimming instructors take in twice as much air as they did before the underwater duty and their breathing rate drops to between seven and 10 breaths a minute. They formerly took between 13 and 18 breaths in the same period.
Credit Board Meets Today
The Credit Bureau and Collection Service executive conference will be held today in the Student Union to plan the summer Credit Bureau and Collection Service Institute next July. Managers from 14 states in the Rocky mountain and Missouri valley districts will attend the annual institute.
More than 2,200,000 military personnel have taken United States Armed Forces Institute courses since the beginning of the program in 1942.

Minnesota Race Humphrey Ahead
Minneapolis, Minn. — (U.P.)—Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey, fiery young
Democrat, went into a wide lead
over Republican Val Bjornson in
minnesota's senatorial race early
today, and Democrat Orville Freem-
clung to a lead over GOP Gov.
C. Elmer Anderson.
Returns from Democratic Minneapolis and St. Paul and a scattering of votes from across the state pushed nearly all Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidates ahead in early vote-counting.
Shortly after midnight, with 736 of the state's 3,849 precincts reported, Sen. Humphrey led Mr. Bjornson in the senatorial race, 182,-513 to 121,845.
Mr. Freeman, who lost to Gov. Anderson in the battle for governor two years ago, took a 2-1 lead early and held a 169, 176 to 132,821 margin with 707 precincts reported shortly after midnight.
Dewey Orders Police To Guard Records
New York—(U.P.)-Gov. Thomas E Dewey today ordered police and sheriffs to guard all voting records of New York state until an official public recrassv of the vote is made.
In a statement issued at 3 a.m. he said: "By reason of the extreme closeness of the vote for state officers I am directing the commissioners and chiefs of police in all the state and all sheriffs forthwith to place patrolman or deputies in charge of each voting machine as well as all registry books and voting records, and to maintain uninterrupted custody thereof until completion of the official public re-annvass of the vote."
The Democrats have elected 42 senators, the Republicans 44. Both candidates in the New Jersey senate race have asked for a recount of the ballots, and nine races are in doubt. That is the picture of the race for control of the senate as of 4 a.m. today.
Nine Doubtful Races Remain in Senate
MOSSER WILL
MOSSER'WOLF
Alben Barkley unseated John S. Cooper, Republican senator from Kentucky. The former Democratic vice president swept to an easy victory.
1107 Massachusetts Phone 50
Races in which the Republicans maintained slim leads and which may decide whether they will control the Senate are—Colorado, Gordon Allett leads John Carroll, Michigan, Homer Ferguson leads P. V. McNamara; Montana, Wesley D-Ewart leads James Murray; Ohio, George Bender leads Thomas Burke and Massachusetts, where Leverett Saltonstall surged ahead of Foster Furcolio late this morning, to gain a slim lead in a race which had already been conceded by Sen. Saltontall.
KuKu's to Collect For Campus Chest
KuKu, men's pep organization, will collect Campus Chest contributions at the homecoming game Saturday, Nov. 6. Jay James, women's pep club, will form a large heart on the field at half-time while the Ku Ku's pass among the spectators.
In other homecoming plans, the Ku Ku's are stressing the "sign-up" campaign. The four University pep clubs will be giving away 5,000 "Beat Nebraska" cards which they hope will be worn all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
"This homecoming is something everyone will be participating in," said Jim Miller, Ku Ku president. "You can even look for Jimmy Green to be in on the spirit of the thing."
The Ku Ku's are participating in three of the Homecoming Follies skits and are helping with plans to paint cars, decorate store windows, and put up "Clean the Cobs" signs.
Democrats still maintained leads in such crucial races as Nevada, where Alan Bible leads Ernest Brown; and Wyoming, where Joseph O'Mahoney leads William Harrison.
Kerr Is Victor In Oklahoma
Oklahoma City—(U.P.)—Democrats marched to victory in Oklahoma last night as Sen. Robert S. Kerr was re-elected to a second term and Raymond Gary won the governorship.
Mr. Kerr also Mr. Gary pieced up insurmountable leads with only about half the precincts reporting. Mr. Kerr (from Rachel Rose, Rand tabulating machines), showed Mr. Kerr leading Republican Fred M. Mock 117,777 to 7,1481, with 1,303 of* 3,165 precincts reporting. Mr. Gary led Republican Spenar Sparkes 125,908 to 67,631, with 1,280 precincts reporting.
Dewocratic congressmen also were re-elected, while the lone Republican house member, Rep. Page Belcher of the first district, led his Democratic opponent, Ben Crowley, Tulsa.
The Democrats made a landslide of the secondary offices and put in the lieutenant governor's chair cowboy Pink Williams, the rancher who gained wide publicity for sending out anti-administration post cards banned by the postal department as obscene.
Kerr declared that his victory and that of other Democrats in the nation show the people want "the economic policies of the present administration to be reversed."
Missouri Totals Show Big Lead For Democrats
The 'Show Me' state of Missouri ran true to its political form in yesterday's elections when the Democratic candidates for seats in the House of Representatives won a sweeping victory over the Republicans.
The Republicans lost three seats to the Democrats in the second, fourth and fifth districts of Missouri.
Democratic winners were incumbent Frank M. Karsten of the first district, incumbent Mrs. Leonor Sullivan of the third district, George D. Christopher of the fourth district, incumbent Richard Bolling of the fifth district, W. R. Hull of the sixth district, incumbent A. S. J. Carnahan of the eighth district, incumbent Clarence Cannon of the ninth district, incumbent Paul C. Jones of the tenth district, and incumbent Morgan Moulder of the eleventh district.
In the second district race, Democrat Eugene Buder was leading Republican incumbent Thomas B. Curtis, 26,266 to 23,209 with 150 out of 431 precincts counted early this morning. The normally Republican St. Louis county vote totals had not been added to this count and Mr. Buder's slim lead may not be enough to win.
Democratic congressman Richard Bolling, who won from the fifth district said last night that the election was "A great vote of confidence in the Democratic party."
"The vote shows a great many people were disillusioned by the Eisenhower administration. I don't believe there will be a stalemate in the Congress and there will be no cold war as predicted by the President," Mr. Bolling said.
