British Labor Election Upset Favors Left-Wing Bevanites
As soon as the pro-Bevan demonstration had run its course. Attlee rose to speak on home policy. He was given a tremendous ovation.
A stamping, cheering almost uncontrollable party convention rocked the meeting hall on announcement that followers of left-wing rebel leader Aneurin Bevan had captured all but one of seven seats allocated to local party branches in the 27-man committee.
The victory did not give Bevan leadership of the party, because the 20 other seats go to labor union leaders, women members and other affiliated groups. Almost all of these back the nominal party leader, former Prime Minster Clement R. Attlee.
The Bevanites, who did not contest the seventh seat, had placed only four members on the previous executive committee.
But it gave Bevan another big boost toward achieving his ambition of displacing Attlee as party leader and prime minister of any future labor government.
"We do not appeal to the country on the basis of half-truths or the basis of promises that can't be fulfilled," he said. "We believe in telling the people the facts."

Humanities Series To Open Tonight
Music, color, and the exhilarating movement of the dance will be the background for the first of the 1952-53 Humanities lectures to be delivered by Dr. Frederico Ghisi at 8 p.m. today in Fraser theater.
Dr. Ghiis, musicologist of the University of Florence, will speak on "The Festivals and Shows of Florence During the Renaissance." His lecture will be illustrated with slides and recordings.
They can be likened to the Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans and the spectacular Mummers parade in Philadelphia, Dr. Steinhardt said.
The roots of theatrical musical comedy lie in these masquerades, carnivals, and shows held in Florence during the Renaissance. Prof. Milton Steinhardt, associate professor of music history at the University, said.
The songs and dances were often ribald, which has carried over to modern musical comedy, and made them very popular with the revelers, he said. Characters in these fares were burlesques of popular artisan types in both dress and dance.
Distinguished Poet To Lecture Here
This will be the only Midwest lecture by Dr. Ghisi. He will lecture next at North Carolina, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Michigan, and the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N. Y.
The poet's role in today's world will be discussed in a lecture by W. H. Auden, distinguished poet, at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7, in Fraser theater.
The lecture, under the sponsorship of the department of English, is designed for a group with serious interests in writing. Mr. Auden will speak in several English classes before the lecture.
Truman Claims Ike's Advice Hurt in 1945
Enroute With Truman—(U.P.) —President Trump said today that Dwight D. Eisenhower's advice in 1945 that Russia's long-term intentions were friendly "did a great deal of harm."
This proved, Mr. Truman said that General Eisenhower's "fore-sight was not nearly as good as his hindsight."
Mr. Truman made this reference in a speech at Havre, Mont., concerning Eisenhower's statement to a Congressional committee in 1945 that, "There is no one thing that guides the policy of Russia more today than to keep friendship with the United States."
Mr. Truman said that, on the other hand, Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate, "saw what the Communists were up to" when he carried out "important" government missions in Europe in 1945 and 1946.
and 1940.
"While he worked mightily for international cooperation," Truman said, "he was one of the first to warn that the Russians were becoming a threat to peace."
Mr. Truman also said the Republicans want to get back in power "so they can make this country the happy hunting grounds for millionaires" it was 20 years ago.
Stevenson Criticizes 'Emotional' Campaign
Springfield, Ill.—(U.P.)—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, addressing the nation over television, criticized the Republican party and Dwight D. Eisenhower for conducting an "emotional" campaign that is "unbearable."
The Democratic presidential nominee flew to Chicago last night for his report to the voters.
Defending his action in presenting key state employees with monetary gifts, Gov. Stevenson said, "I have no grief for the methods I used except that I had no other."
He reserved most of his 30 minutes on the air to a solemn indictment of the GOP and its presidential candidate.
"A campaign directed not to men's minds and to their best instincts but to their passions, emotions and prejudices is unworthy at best," he said. "Now with the fate of the nation at stake, it is unbearable . . . this is no time for such talk."
He continued a running defense of his fund to help reduce financial sacrifices of men he recruited from private business to help him run the state of Illinois. Saturday he disclosed that he paid a total of $18,150 to eight key appointees.
Gov. Stevenson flew back to Springfield after the appearance, arriving early today. He planned to spend today working on speeches and state business.
"None ever asked me for help, Stevenson said, "and none could have been improperly influenced by these gifts, because I gave them and I appointed them to their jobs and could have discharged them at any time."
The governor said he had no idea where Gen. Eisenhower stood on most vital issues and scoffed at the
Acecusing the GOP of blowing "thin drafts of crafty words" down the voters' necks, Gov. Stevenson said: "We are not, I take it, a race of whimpering adolescents who can't face the truth, but a race of men and women, proud, courageous and unafraid."
"Now, however, they attempt to make you believe that it was almost an act of treason, but what do you think they would be saying if we had not stopped the enemy in Korea, if Japan was threatened, and if East Asia was falling bit by bit to the enemy?" he asked.
Republican stand on communism and Korea.
"We all know that when the Communists attacked across the 38th parallel that was the testing point for freedom throughout the world." Gov. Stevenson said, and then he added that the Republicans at first approved of the war there.
His recent campaign swings across the nation had convinced him, he said, that the four questions which trouble voters most were: "Korea, how serious is the Communist danger in this country, is our prosperity in danger, and how can we get the highest integrity and efficiency in government?"
"The Democratic party is the party of Sen. (Estes) Kefauver, Sen. (Paul) Douglas, Sen. (William) Flubright," he said. "Behind every crooked tax collector is a crooked taxpayer," he added.
