Big Strikes Fought
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—A race against time began today in an effort to settle or head off strikes that could paralyze Ford Motor Co. operations and the nation's railroads by the end of the week.
Efforts continued to end strikes against Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. plants in four cities, the Detroit Newspaper walkout, a strike against Corn Products Refining Co. and the West Coast Pulp and Paper Company strikes. A total of more than 32,000 workers are involved.
Ford, its production of 1965 cars and trucks dwindling under the impact of scattered local strikes by the United Auto Workers Union (UAW), was expected to shut down its major assembly centers by Friday if the disputes are not resolved.
Nearly half of Ford's 130,000 hourly rated workers were on strike or idled because of the walkouts, some of them at key plant manufacturing parts without which production eventually will have to come to a halt.
Five of the original nine locals that went on strike Nov. 6, despite a national agreement between Ford and the UAW, still were out today.
Negotiators for six railroad shopcraft unions were scheduled to meet today with federal mediators in a last-ditch effort to head off a possible nationwide rail tie-up. The six AFL-CIO unions could walk out Friday.
Union official Michael Fox announced a news conference for this afternoon in Chicago. He was expected to formally announce the strike plans.
Soviet Committee Meets
MOSCOW—(UPI)—The Communist Party Central Committee today held a secret Kremlin meeting to undo Nikita S. Khruschev's "hare-brained" schemes, Communist diplomatic sources reported.
The sources said the party's ruling body also discussed demoting some key officials appointed by the ousted leader.
It was the first Central Committee meeting since many of the 330 members gathered Oct.14 and voted to oust Khrushchev.
It was not known if Khrushchev, accused of "hare-brained" reorganization of party machinery, attended the Kremlin session today. Although removed from the party leadership, the decision-making Presidium and the premiership, Khrushchev kept his Central Committee seat and his membership in the Supreme Soviet.
28 Dead in Air Crash
LAS VEGAS, Nev. —(UPI)— The scattered wreckage of a Bonanza airliner that apparently carried 28 persons to their death was found today on a snow-covered mountain top about five miles southwest of McCarran Field.
Clark county sheriff's deputies said there apparently were no survivors.
Charles Nichals, a pilot for Alamo Airways which aided in the aerial search, said, "It's pretty badly broken up, pretty well scattered."
New Storm To Hit Saigon
U. S. Air Force weathermen said typhoon Kate was located less than 200 miles east of Saigon in the South China Sea on a course headed dead-center for the capital.
SAIGON—(UPI)—A new typhoon aimed 90 m.p.h. winds at storm-battered South Viet Nam today.
It was the third typhoon to plague this Communist-beset nation in the past three weeks.
LEOPOLDVILLE, The Congo—(UPI)—The rebel radio announced that Paul Carlson, an American missionary doctor, will be executed today as a "U.S. spy and major fighting the revolutionary forces."
The report of the rebel radio at Stanleyville said Carlson, 36, would be executed at noon following sentence by a rebel military tribunal.
Rebels To Kill US 'Spy'
Vox, UP to Resume Effort to Improve ASC
By Judy Farrell
With the campaign over, KU's two political parties are uniting to further student government, the heads of both parties said last night.
University Party and Vox Populi each took 15 seats on the All Student Council in the living district elections Wednesday and Thursday. Holdover members elected last spring give UP a 21 to 19 edge on the Council.
This is the first time UP has held the majority of Council seats, Harry Bretschneider, Kansas City senior and UP secretary-general, said.
BECAUSE OF THIS, Bretschneider said, the election could be considered a victory for UP.
"We have said for years that if we got a majority on the ASC, we could do a better job than Vox has done," he said. "Now that we have a majority, it is our responsibility to the students to do a good job."
Jim Frazier, Topeka fifth-year pharmacy student and Vox president, said that Vox would not fight UP legislation.
"WE ARE SET UP TO promote better student government," he said. "Anything UP has that's good, we will support."
Neither party head could give an estimate as to how much the party had spent in campaigning during the past several weeks. Frazier and Bretschneider both said they had not had time to check on the figures.
"Im in a state of rest." Frazier said, "and trying to recuperate scholastically."
HUGH TAYLOR, Stoke-on-Trent, England, graduate student, and ASC elections co-chairman, said parties have a $200 maximum imposed on them for campaign expenses by the ASC constitution.
"This is a clause that is generally ignored," Taylor said. "Each party may instead spend several thousands dollars in the spring campaigns."
The recent fall campaign did not appear to be an expensive one, Taylor said. There were few
posters, and many of those had been printed by the candidates themselves, he said.
THE NEWLY ELECTED ASC representatives will probably not take their seats on the Council until after Thanksgiving vacation.
A special ASC meeting is scheduled for tomorrow night, but this will involve the old members.
The next regular ASC meeting would normally be held next Tuesday, but this is the day on which Thanksgiving vacation begins. So new Council members will have at least two and a half to three weeks before assuming their positions.
THE ASC MUST also elect new officers. The chairmanship is currently held by Mike Miner, Lawrence senior. Miner had been a representative from the unmarried-unorganized district, but he did not run for re-election.
However, he will continue as chairman under an ASC tradition in which the chairman holds office for a full year after his election to that position.
Miner was elected chairman in April, and will continue until next April. He has speaking privileges, but may vote only to break a tie.
THE OFFICE OF ASC vice-chairman is now vacant. Gary Walker, Wichita senior, did not run for re-election from the married district. Walker had been vice-chairman since last April.
Miner and Walker are both Vox members and were elected by Vox's 20 to 19 majority last spring.
UP members presently hold positions as the ASC secretary and the treasurer.
RAY MYERS, Dodge City fifth-year engineering student, was the only UP member elected to a Council office last spring. Mary Ruth Lanning, Lawrence junior, was elected Council secretary this year, following the resignation of Sandra Garvey, St. Louis, Mo.
Miss Garvey, a Vox member, is practice teaching in Lawrence and no longer attends KU. Miss Lanning is a UP member.
GOP Moderates to Key Opposition
Two-Party Resurgence Seen
Harold Laswell, professor of law and political science at Yale University, said in a speech here Friday the United States will continue to have a two-party system as long as there is a popular vote for the presidential election.
"I predict this because of the dynamics of coalitions." Prof. Laswell said. "They indicate that even the losing parties can expect to reform and be successful in future elections. This should be true of the Republican Party."
Prof. Laswell said if the conservative Republicans—the Goldwater faction—successfully block the efforts of the moderate Republicans to
regain control of the party,the moderates will be driven to forming a new party.
"This new party structure, under some conditions, will become the most effective oppositions party," Prof. Laswell said.
The Goldwater faction is likely

The weather bureau predicts continued cloudy weather through Tuesday with a low tonight near 40. Northerly winds of 10 to 15 miles per hour today will diminish tonight.
to increase its strength only if certain internal crisis conditions occur in the United States, Prof. Laswell said. These crisis conditions would be conspicuous scandals connected with corruption in the government administration. Or, the national government might become deaf to demands of the people living in the small cities and in the neglected regions of our country, Prof. Laswell said.
The chances of the latter happening are dim because of the experienced "flexibility and realism of the present Democratic administration," Prof. Laswell said.
Red Chinese Shoot Down U-2
TOKYO — (UPI)— The Chinese claimed today they shot down a "pilotless" U.S. high-altitude reconnaissance plane Sunday over South Central China. The Red Chinese defense minister hailed the alleged feat as a "major victory."
Red China's official New China News Agency said the plane was shot down by a Communist Chinese air force unit. Defense Minister Marshal Lin Piao officially praised the unit in a order of commendation.
A Peking English-language announcement, monitored in Tokyo, said the downed aircraft was a "pilotless high-altitude, reconnaissance military plane intruding into China's territorial air space."
Since Feb. 2 1958, Red China has
RADIO PEKING, in a Japanese-language broadcast, said also that the plane was "unmanned."
It gave no further details except to say the plane was shot down by an air force unit of the "Peoples Liberation Army."
claimed to have shot down 10 U.S.-made military planes over its territory, including three high-altitude U2 reconnaissance planes.
IN EACH instance the downed plane was identified only as American without reference to reports that the Chinese Nationalists have been flying U2 reconnaissance planes over the mainland.
The later English-language announcement from Peking said Defense minister Nin Piao had officially praised the unit which shot it down.
