election.
ELECTION RETURNS
Washington — (U.P.)— Voters turned out in multitudes that may top 10,000,000 today to pass mid-term judgement on President Eisenhower's Republican administration.
It was good voting weather in the West but raw and mean in the Midwest and East. The East's nasty violence brought the voters, away from, the polls.
The poll takers figured the Democrats on top in this congressional election year, but indications were that the trend will not be definite for hours after the polls close.
Many precincts, in fact, reported heavier than usual balloting. Early voting was heavy in New York—up 16 per cent in some precincts, an average of 10 per cent in others.
Emporia, Kan. — (U.P.)— Democrat George Docking took a 33-29 vote lead today in incomplete, unofficial

For Congress the fragmentary vote favored Rep. Ed H. Rees, Republican of Emporia, over Democrat Robert M. Green of El Dorado 33-30. Other early partial results from voting:

returns from two Emporia precincts in the race for Kansas governor.
Attorney general-Harold R. Fatzzer, Republican 31, Russ B. Anderson, Democrat 30.
Lieutenant governor—George J. Hart, Democrat, 31, John McCuish, Republican, 30.
Hart's Location, N.H. —(U.P.) This tiny White Mountain hamlet voted 6-4 in favor of the Democrats today after favoring the Republicans by one vote in 1952.
Hart's Location, the first community in the nation to cast its ballots in today's elections, voted at 12:01 a.m. EST and the votes were counted at 12:07 a.m.
Red Chinese Beginning New Island Attacks
Taipei, Formosa — (U.P.)— Chinese Communist warplanes and artillery unleashed new attacks today against the Tachen island group, Chiang Kai-shek's northernmost possessions.
Five Russian-built twin-engine bombers bombed Tachen's north anchor while Communist batteries on Toumen island resumed the heavy shelling begun yesterday.
Nationalist sources said Red artillery hurled thousands of shells at the tiny island. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The Reds shelled the island for eight hours yesterday.
The Tachen islands lie slightly more than 200 miles from the northern tip of Formosa. The Red attack gave rise to fears among Nationalist officials that an invasion might be imminent.

Francis Hopes to Be Another Caniff
A second Bibler? — right now, perhaps, but someday a second Milton Caniff.
That's a capsule sketch of Colan Francis, college freshman who this year has drawn several cartoons on campus affairs for the Kansan.
"When I graduate, I plan to do a serial comic strip about a psychologist. I took psychology in high school and thought it would be a good subject for a different kind of stir." he said.
He plans psychology courses in action to his commercial art major at KU.
Listing Milton Caniff as the cartoonist who has influenced him most, he said he had been fascinated with comic books since he was six years old—long before he could understand all the words under the pictures.
"My parents are very interested in my ambition. They made it possible for me to enroll in an art correspondence course, as well as take two years of art in high school and major in it here at the University."
While in high school, he had cartoons published in several magazines. Among them was the American Cartoonist.
