Three States' Elections Vital for GOP Prestige
Washington—(U.P.)—Republican political prestige, badly damaged this month in Wisconsin, is riding again on a series of elections beginning one week from today in New York, New Jersey and California.
New York and New Jersey come up first on Nov. 3. A mayoralty contest in New York City offers the Republican party a slim chance to win.

Defeat there would not seriously wound the party. An upset Republican victory would be a morale booster at a moment when the Elsus are undermined and it because of the loss of a Congressional seat in Wisconsin.
New York has not elected a mayor on the Republican ticket since 1895 although John P. Mitchell, 1917, and Fiorello H. La Guardia, whose terms spanned 1934-45, were Republicians who accepted "fusionist" nomination.
It is a different story in New Jersey where successors to a Republican governor and a Republican Congressman from the District of Columbia, and in an inferioria where another stamachly Republican House seat is up for grabs Nov. 10.
The Republicans must win those two Congressional by-elections to hold their own in the House of Representatives. The present House score is: Republicans 218, Democrats 214, Independent 1, vacant 2. The Republican majority is the minimum—one. Even so, the party is better off in the House than in the Senate where there are only 47 Republicans, two short of a minimum majority.
Not only must the Republicans win to hold their own, they must win to avoid morale-shattering blows. The Republican candidate won New Jersey's 6th last year with almost 64 per cent of the votes cast.
High Republican tide in that district was 66.2 per cent of the total vote in 1946 when the Republicans broke through New Deal-Democratic defenses nationally to win control of Congress. California's 24th District also has been a safe one for the GOP in the past.
Republican candidates won New Jersey's gubernatorial election in 1946 with 57.9 per cent and in 1949 with 52.2 per cent of the vote cast. Here again, Republican defeat would be a severe jolt to party prestige.
The candidates:
New York, for mayor; Harold Riegelman, Republican; Rudolph Halley, Liberal; Robert F., Wagner Democrat. (Polls favor Wagner.)
New Jersey, for governor: Paul L. Troast, Republican; Robert B. Meyner, Democrat; Clendenbain Ryan, Independent. For Congress: George L. Hetfield, Republican; Harrison A. Williams Jr., Democrat.
California, for Congress: Glenard Lipscomb, organization Republican; John Collier, Independent Republican; George Arnold, organization Democrat; Irving Markheim, Independent Democrat.
Mr. Arnold is the son-in-law of columnist Drew Pearson.
Chest Funds OK'd For City, Campus
*The Campus Chest drive will begin Nov. 11 and nine organizations have been selected by the Campus Chest Steering committee to receive benefits.
One will be in the Lawrence Community Chest. It will receive five per cent of the total amount of the money received in the drive. This amount will contribute good will between the people of Lawrence and the University.
William Kollender, head of the Lawrence Community Chest, said that in giving to the Lawrence Community Chest the university student will be contributing to the Salvation Army, 4-H clubs, Kansas Children's League, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Social Service League, Memphis Childcare Clinic, Child Care League, and a special fund added this year, a centennial fund to provide financial backing for Lawrence's 100th birthday celebration next year.

Security Council Gets Palestine Question Today
United Nations —(UP)— The United Nations Security council takes up the Palestine question today, seeking a solution to the explosive situation that threatens peace in the Holy Land.
Israel and Syria were prepared to appear before the morning meeting of the council to present their respective sides in a complaint over an Israeli hydroelectric project on the river Jordan.
Syria complained that the project, situated in the demilitarized zone established by the armistice agreement, would benefit Israeli military plans and cause grave economic losses to Syrian territory in need of Jordon river water for irrigation
The UN truce supervision team found on Sept. 23 that the project violated the Israel-Syria armistice and ordered work halted. Israel rejected the order.
The afternoon meeting was keyed for the presentation of a report by Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike, chief of staff of the armistice supervision team in Palestine. Bennike was expected to offer information which might lead to an easing of tension between Israel and neighboring Arab states.
The Kibya armistice violation led the United States, Britain and France to demand debate on the Palestine question in the Security council. Bennike was summoned to testify. He arrived last week and has spent the intervening time preparing his report
Bennike said last week he also would report on the Kibya village incident. Jordan claimed 66 persons were killed in an Israeli raid on the village. A report from the mixed armistice commission said 42 died.
Israel has insisted the Kibya village attack was carried out by Israeli irregulars enraged by Arab forays across the armistice line.
7 Korean Heroes To Receive Medal
Washington — (UP) — President Eisenhower summoned seven Korean war heroes to the White House today to receive the nation's highest military decoration—the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Although Ike himself accumulated a chest full of decorations during his long and distinguished military career, he does not hold the Congressional medal, which by law is issued to officers killed in battle above and beyond the call of duty" in actual combat with the enemy.
A full-dress ceremony was arranged on the spacious south lawn of the White House with the Army band playing military marches and relatives looking on. Mr. Eisenhower personally presented the awards.

Allied Spies' Assertion Of Reds Gets Support
Panmunjom—(U.P.)—An Indian official warned today there is "some truth" to Communist charges that Allied agents are operating in anti-Red war prisoner compounds but said the reports are "highly exaggerated."
Communist officers have given the Indians a list of 400 Nationalist Chinese and South Korean "agents" they complain are hidden among the 22,-500 anti-Communist POWs.
These "agents," the Reds charged, forced Chinese and North Korean prisoners to disrupt explanations, which have been halted 10 days because the Koreans refuse to face Communist political officers.
An Indian spokesman said anti-
Communists who have changed their
mind and returned to Red rule
reported the presence of agents.
"These chaps who are returning all tell about the same story, but it is highly exaggerated," the spokesman said. "They may be afraid of being tried as deserters (by the judge) and then be forced to be some truth in their statements they are filled with doubts and fears."
The Communist allegations, aired almost daily by Radio Peiping, claim Allied "agents" operate torture chambers inside the compounds to prevent POWs from returning to Red rule.
The Communist charges have not made it clear whether the alleged "agents" are POWs communicating with Allied officers outside the compounds or are non-prisoners smuggled into the barbed wire enclosures.
But the Indian spokesman said Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya, chairman of the Neutral Nations - Repatriation commission, inspected enclosures yesterday and found no signs of tortures or murders.
"Of course after dark some of the prisoners might be twisting arms of the policemen," the spokesman said, "but we have no way of finding out about such things."
The spokesman said attempts to identify the alleged "agents" have failed, because all the anti-Red POWs "have switched name tags and we have no way of identifying them."
Meanwhile, a Neutral Nations subcommittee drafted an official explanation of the "very small" chances of resuming prisoner interviews.

KU Ceramists Part of Book
Student work pictured in the book was done by Wanda Jean Anderson and Mrs. Dorothea Dalton, both fine arts '53. One of the sculptures is a figure and the other is an abstract form.
Pictures of two figures by University sculpture students and the results of research by Sheldon Carey, professor of design, are included in 'Ceramic Sculpture Methods and Processes,' a new book by John B. Kenny, ceramics writer.
Research in the use of volcanic ash in ceramics glaze was outlined in Mr. Kenny's book. Prof. Carey's study showed that volcanic ash is new among ceramics materials and is not yet in general use, although several commercial potteries have it. The report was based on a study of all known volcanic ash deposits in Kansas.
Don't Spend It All at Once
Sacramento, Calif. — (UP) — The state of California was at least one cent richer today. The lone penny—originally a part of a $373,000 1949 budget item for construction of a hospital—somehow was never spent, so the state Public Works board approved the reversion of the penny to the state's coffers.
The first two state laws specifically designed to encourage renewal of whole areas of cities were passed in 1941: Illinois' Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation law and New York's Urban Redevelopment Corporations law.
