Battle Fought
Here In 10th
A see-saw battle ensued for
the one Republican Congres
sional seat from North Caro
lina, as Charles Raper Jonas
(R) led Dave Clark ,(D) by
400 votes at press time last
night.
The state soundly defeated a pro
posal to increase the jurisdiction
of justices of the peace in North
Carolina by a margin of nearly 2-1.
Returns from 1142 of 2083 pre
cincts showed the proposal going
down to defeat 79,727-135,495.
The race in the twelfth district
in Western North Carolina which
was predicted as a close race turn
ed out to be nothing of the sort.
By a 2-1 margin David Hall whip
ped Harold Sams
At press time the results for this
seat formerly held by George Shu
ford was 36,608 for Hall, 19,749
for Sams with only C5 precints left
to be heard from.
Everett Jordan won an easy vic
tory over Richcrd Clarke, marred
only by losing Clarke's home dis
trict. Jordan was leading Clarke
282.000 to 98,000 with 75 of the
precints in the state reporting.
All other Democratic Congres
sional candidates had no difficulty
in decisively whipping their Re
publican opponents, and in four
districts', first, second, sixth, and
eleventh, Congressmen were re
turned without opposition.
Governor Luther Hodges earlier
in the night hailed the Democratic
sweep in the nation and in the
state as. an welcome sign.
Tatum Urges Attendance
At UNC-Virainia Game
UNC Head Football Coach Jim
Tatum through the University Club
is encouraging UNC students to at
tend the football game Saturday in
Charlottesville. UNC won at UVA
two years ago "because Carolina
had a better cheering section at
Charlottesville than Virginia", ac
cording to Coach Tatum.
He also reminded UNC students
that the University Club has arrang
ed for buses and for coed travel.
Tickets to a jazz concert were also
available.
According to the University Club
and Dick Olive, chairman of the
trip arrangements, all tickets to
the concert have been sold and bus
tickets are going fast.
Woollen Gym still has a few
game tickets for sale at $3.50 each.

Rockefeller Win Easy;
Knowland Trails Brown
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Democrats swept towaTd a big victory early Wednesday
in their surge toward stronger command of Congress.
But in an east-west drama, a new Republican star was
bom in New York while an old one seemed headed for
eclipse in California.
Nelson A. Rockefeller, the Repub
lican millionaire who trudged the
sidewalk of New York in Quest of
votes, decisively ousted Democrat
Averell Harriman from the Gover
nor's chair.
This rocketed Rockefeller into
presidential speculation for 1950. It
seemingly doomed Harriman's chan
ces for the Democratic Nomination,
and clouded Vice President Richard
M. Nixon's prospects for the GOP
presidential prize.
From the west came returns
showing William F. Knowland.Rep
ublican, trailed Democratic Pat
Brown in a crucial contest for
governor. Knowland gave up the
Senate Republican leadership to
make this race, and' his prospects
for consiteration at the 1960 GOP
presidential convention hinged on
the outcome.
As for Congress, Democrats quick-
ted
nies
chosen by acclamation to run for
the six months Legislature seat
from Dorm Men's III.
Bob Turner and Bob Grubb elected
were to vie for the two 1-year seats
from Town Men's I.
Charley Gray is the candidate for
the one year seat from Town Men's
II.
Representing Town Men's III for
the two 1-year . Legislature seats
are Ed Ley and Bill Stepp. They
were selected by acclamation.
Also decided by acclamation were
the four candidates for the 1-year
seats from Town Men's IV. These
nominated were Joe McKinsey, De
Witt McColter, Dickie Quick and
Lou Harven.
A motion entertained by the chair
was approved to let the executive
committee select the five . candi
dates for the six months seats from
this district.
The last of the nominations for
Legislature seats was that of Town
Women's. Elected by acclamation
was Ann Harvey.
Running for UP on the sophomore
slate are Charlie Graham, presi
dent; Joe Warner, vice-president;
Sharon Sullivan, secretary; Bob Gib
sen, treasurer, and Carol Tieslau,
social -chairman.
