Democrats Republicans Win Douglas County
Republican candidates for Douglas county offices scored a clean sweep in Tuesday's local elections since all but one of their candidates were unopposed.
The Lawrence off-street parking lot issue received a majority of 602 votes, 3108 to 2506. The measure concerned a $150,000 bond issue for the parking lot plan recommended by the city council and the chamber of commerce. The bonds are to be retired from downtown parking meter receipts.
Mrs. Minnie Eudaly, Republican candidate for county treasurer, won 4,937 votes to 3,983 for her Democratic opponent, Glenn Kappelman, in the only county two-party race.
Election officials said the turnout was above average despite the wet, cold weather. The county clerk reported that 9,539 persons voted in Douglas county, 5,984 of which were from Lawrence.
Milton P. Allen, son of Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach at the University, won the office of county attorney on the Republican ticket. He received his law degree from K.U. in 1942 and has been practicing law in Lawrence.
The special in-state voting booth set up in the basement of Green hall attracted 220 students who were eligible to vote in Kansas but unable to vote in their home counties. Mr. Lupin thought he thought the student voting was about normal and went off very smoothly.
Counties most heavily represented in the voting in Green hall were Sedgwick, Wyandotte, Shawnee, and Montgomery.
Other elected county officials include; T. J. Gerhart, county clerk; Harold Beck, register of deeds; Frank Gray, probate judge; Travis E. Glass, sheriff; Emma Berg, county superintendent of schools; Elmer Ousdahl, county commissioner for the first district, and Frank Dodds, justice of the peace.

Because a smaller number of women will be pledging, rush week will be held only on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before orientation week.
'Shaky' In Congress
Another ruling adopted by the council states that in the first year in which freshman dormitories are in operation, a series of informal open houses will be held the first weekend in May to give freshman women opportunity to see sorority houses.
Miss Margaret Habein, dean of women; Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women; and members of the freshman dormitory advisory committee are leading the discussions. They will consider dormitory life and the relationship between sororites and the freshman dormitories.
Discussions to tell chapters what the freshman dormitories will be like are being held in the sororities during this week and next week.

Washington, Nov. 8—U(P,P)—The new 82nd congress, despite its Democratic label, shaped up today as anti-administration.
The Democrats still were in nominal control. But the good-sized majority they had in the 81st congress has been cut to the bone.
Furthermore, a big chunk of what majority was left and was made up of southerners.
This means that on many of the issues closest to president Truman's heart, control won't lie with administration leaders but with a strengthened coalition of Republicans and anti-Truman southern Democrats.
In the present Senate the Democrats have 54 seats, the Republicans 42; in the new Senate it appears that the Democrats will have 49 and the Republicans 47.
The present House membership includes 259 Democrats, 169 Republicans, one American Labor Party, and there are six vacancies. It appears that the new House will be made up of 237 Democrats, 197 Republicans and one independent.
Mr. Truman can count on his "fair deal" program being in serious trouble again in the 82nd.
Actually, the southerners have been sitting in the driver's seat right along, and were responsible for defeating Mr. Truman's attempt to get the Taft-Hartley law repealed and civil rights enacted.
Now, Republicans are replacing a few key administration Democrats in the senate and many more in the House. The southern Democrats are underdepleted.
Senate Democratic leader Scott W. Lucas and Democratic whip Francis J. Myers were unseated along with Sen. Millard E. Tydings, who led the administration defense against Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy's charges that the government is infested with pro-Communists.
Lucas, President Truman's spokesman in the senate for the past two years, was defeated in Illinois by former Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, the republican nominee. Myers lost his seat to G.O.P. Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania.
Tydings, chairman of the armed services committee and member of the Democratic policy committee, was unseated by Republican John Marshall Butler. A senator for 24 years, Tydings was chairman this year of the foreign relations subcommittee which investigated McCarthy's charges and branded them a "hoax" in a report which Republicans called a "whitewash."
The Republicans had no leadership worries like those of the Democrats Sen. Robert A. Taft, G.O.P. policy committee chairman and No.1 target of the administration and its labor allies, was re-elected in Ohio by a comfortable margin.
The administration was threatened with another serious setback in Utah, where Sen. Elbert D. Thomas was trailing Wallace F. Bennett, the G.O.P. nominee.
House leaders of both parties were re-elected easily. Speaker Sam Rayburn was re-elected in Texas without opposition.
Massachusetts returned both house Democratic leader John W. McCormack and House Republican leader Joseph W. Martin. Democratic whip Percy Priest was re-elected in Tennessee and Republican whip Leslie C. Arends in Illinois.
He was disappointed particularly by the defeat of some of his Democratic chiefsfl in Congress, especially Scott W. Lucas of Illinois. Leader Scott W. Lucas of Illinois.
President Truman was "disappointed" today over some of the election results but pleased by the size of the vote in an off-year.
"Of course, he was disappointed," presidential press secretary Charles G. Ross said.

ASC To Fete K-State Group
The occasion is the annual K.State-K.U. dinner provided for under the peace pact between the two schools The pact states that the home team for the football game will be the guests of the visiting school's council. This dinner must precede the athletic contest by ten days.
Guest speaker at the banquet was Elmer F. Beth, professor of journalism. He discussed the constitutional guarantees of freedom.
After the meal the visitors will watch a session of the University's council.
> George's victory was assured be fore noon.
Representative Errett Scrivner, R., also won the second district race over Democrat Milton Sullivan before noon.
Republicans were easy winners in the other four congressional districts.
In the top statewide races, results provide a decisive G.O.P. victory.
Governor Frank Carlson beat Paul Aliken for U.S. senator, Edward F. Arn defeated Kenneth Anderson for governor. Unofficial returns from 1,819 of Kansas $2,792 precincts showed; for senator; Carlson 183,340. Aiken 147,533. For governor; Arn 180,479. Anderson 148,710.
Carlson, who has progressed through the state legislature, congress and the executive offices, easily moved upward into the senate.
In Aiken, he out-polled a youthful member of the Truman administration who had resigned as assistant postmaster general to make the race with the president's good wishes.
The governor, who directed an expensive program of expanded state services in Kansas, was elected to both the few months unexpired term of the late Senator Clyde Reed and to a full six-year term.
Mr. Carlson said he would resign as governor immediately upon official certification of his election late this month in order to be sworn in as senator and gain seniority privileges in the upper chamber ahead of the January influx of freshman lawmakers.
Such action automatically will place in the governor's chair Lieutenant Governor Frank L. Hagaman who tried—and failed—last summer to win the G.O.P. nomination for governor. He will serve until Arn is inaugurated in January.
