IKE SAYS REAL TROUBLE Democrats' Gain WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats battered down a final Republican bastion in ' the west and produced their biggest U.S. Senate gain in history from belated returns strag gling in from Tuesday's election. The 13-seat gain surpassed by one previous Democratic record of 12 set in 1932. WASHINGTON (AP) I n c o m -plele tabulations at 4 p.m. (EST) Wednesday, showed more than 42 million votes cast in Tuesday's election. This figure will be increased considerably with final and com plete counts some time next month. The dwindling trickle of ballots from the hinterlands merely enlar ged the dimcntions of the most spectacular Democratic political triumph since the New Deal hey days. Late results tightened an al leady stregthened Democratic con trol of both Senate and House and tossed more Republican Governors our of office. And with an assistent they didn't want from Nelson A. Rockefeller in New York, the Democrats brought about a sizeable reshuffling of 1060 political prospects. President Eisenhower told an elect Lillian Shannonhouse Weller an nounced her registration as chair man of the Woman's Residence Council at a meeting Tuesday night. Laurie Guard, vice president of the council will assume the position of chairman next Tuesday night. Jo Carpenter, Dewey Dance and Katie Stewart were nominated to the vice -presidency of the Woman's Residence Council. The office will be filled by an election at the next meeting. In explaining her hesignation to the council, Lillian said she would uot be in school in the Spring. She said her resignation would permit her sucessor to adjust to the duties of chairman. The immediate orien tation a sucessor would benefit the organization, she said. Also discussed at the metting were the future plans of the Rules Com mittee will evaluate freshmen rules end plan registration for the next year. We Goofed Dept. (In the caption under the picture of University Party freshman class officer candidates that appeared in The Daily. Tar Heel Wednesday the names of the nominees were omitted. In the order in which they ap peared in the picture, the candi dates are: Stuart Priddy, for vice president; Peggy Costner, for so cial chairman; Jey Deifell, for pres ident; Maxine Greenfield for sec retary; and Tom Alexander for treasurer. Statements Due By Tomorrow For Candidates Friday is an important dead line for all candidates for office in the Nov. 18 elections. By Friday, ell nominees must turn over to their respective party chairmen or the Elections Board (if they're running inde pendent) a statement from their deans saying they're students in good standing. University Party Chairman Jack Lawing yesterday urged UP candidates to bring their state ments to him in the APO room in Graham Memorial between 1 and 5 p.m. today, if possible. An independent candidate must turn in a similar statement plus a petition signed by 25 voters and himself, to the stu dent government office by 5 p.m. Friday. TO BE SPENDING ion post-mortum news conference he wasn't even thinking about 1960 at this point. But to a question weather he thought the people yes terday "chose left-wing goverment rather than sensible goverment" terms he used in campaign oratory the President replied: "I don't know weather they did this thing deliberately. I know this, that they obviously voted for people Republicans All RALEIGH The surging Democratic tide that carried the party to victory in seven of eight races 'for Congress in North Carolina and gave Sen B. Everett Jordan an overwhelming victory in Tuesday's general election almost swept the Republican Party out of the state legislature. A survey Wednesday showed that the Demo crats had captured 11 of 16 legislative seats the Republicans held in 1957, and that the 1959 Gen eral Assembly will have only four Republicans in the House and one in the Senate. Secretary of State Thad Eure, who made the legislative survey, commented that "not a living person in North Carolina has seen that few Re publicans in the General Assembly." State Democratic Chairman Woodrow W. Jones, who was jubilant over the Democratic sweep,' pointed to party victories in local races in coun ties which have been Republican strongholds. He said reports reaching state party headquar ters told of "clean sweeps" for the Democrats in local contests in . Catawba, Randolph, Caldwell4 SP Platform Further Look Wanted By STAN FISHER The Student Party Monday night postponed discussion on a possibly highly controversial plat form for the fall election after previously voting, to discuss the proposed platform immediately. After platform committee '. char man Roger Foushee introduced the platform before the party, Ralph Cummings moved to delay the vote until next week so that party leaders might look it over. ! 14 POLNTS ' According to Cammings, neither he nor Student Body President Don Furtado had seen the plat form which presented 14 points a3 the aims of Student Party legisla tors if elected in the nearing fall election. After discussion was heard by the members concerning the pros and cons of delaying voting on the Carolina-Duke Rivalry Is Continued Pleasantly By CHARLIE SLOAN A most pleasant sort of Duke Carolina rivalry was continued Tuesday night on the Blue Devils' home grounds. For the 12th time leaders of the student bodies of both universities gathered around a supper table to talk over the annual football con test. The dinners are held each year, with each school taking turns at trying to serve better meals than the year before. One regular parti cipant described the event as start ing off as a hot dog and beans af fair, and developing into the' filet on toast affair Tuesday. CORNISH HEN To the best of anybody's recol lection, last year Carolina served the Dookies Cornish Hen. The value of the event is not en tirely gastronomic. During the meal, and in discussion afterwards, students in both schools had a chance to compare notes. According to Duke Student Body President Bob Torray, the purpose of the meeting is. to give leaders in both schools a chance to discuss ways of channeling spectator en thusiasm into lively good sports manship. Dean Robert Cox of: Duke ex Biggest that I would class among the spenders, and that is what I say is going to be the real trouble." The President labeled a trend to ward higher spending as a dan gerous thing and promised to fight it. But he haid he thought he would get along with the new .Congress. In a situation without political pre cedent, this is the third time he has been confronted with on op But Out In State Postponed; proposed platform, Cummings' mo tion was defeated. A motion was then made and passed to consider the platform's 14 proposals one by one. Passed by the SP with little discussion were three of the arti cles the first calling for action toward the realization of a new and adequate student union; the second asking for advocation of a higher salary rate for university professors. ! On the third article, in which the body pledges itself toward the elimination of discrimination in terms of race, creed, or national origin, Roger Foushee made sev eral statements in answer to ques tions about the implications to ward fraternities and sororities in this measure. Foushee stated, in answer to Set FURTHER LOOK, Page 3 plained, that in 1945 a money and prestige-expensive wave of vandal ism swept both schools. Both universities seriously ending the football rivalry. Then the pre game dinner meeting was devised, with apparent success. Cox said that the vandalism which occurs during the heat of Duke Carolina competition is caused by "a small element of the student body" at both schools. He called this group "almost in corrigible unless public opinion is strongly aginst it." , Sam Magill, UNC's assistant dean of student affairs, added that ex cesive emotionalism must also be avoided. After these introductory com ments the discussion was thrown open to the entire group. Ideas and suggestions were kicked around - the linen covered playing field, and representatives from both schools agreed that both schools can win on sportsmanship if the student bodies will take the chore on them selves. And that's all the group could do, because it was just a croud of students from rival schools getting together for a good meal and to coordinate their efforts in setting air cAtuupte. u i Since New Deal position Congress. Eisenhower voiced delight at Rockefeller's election but declined to rub the crystal ball for a sight ing on Rockefeller's future. In an election that had many elements of the fantastic, it was Republican Rockefeller who turned in the greatest single victory. In the battle of the bucks, one million aire aginst another, Rockefeller Legislature Alexander, Henderson,. Stanly, Yadkin, Burke and Watauga Counties. He also reported Democratic victories in Clay and Graham Counties. In the Republican bastion of Wilkes, he said, Democrats elected one county commissioner and another was trailing by only 11 votes. He said he had been informed ' that the Democratic candidate for sheriff in Avery trailed by only six votes. "The local victories in the mountain counties were far beyond my expectations," Jones added. Jones, Gov. Hodges and other party leaders were disappointed that the Democratic tide was not strong enough to carry the 10th Congression al District Complete unofficial returns showed that Republican Rep. Charles Jonas defeated his Democratic challenger, David Clark, by a 4,117 margin, racking up 56,465 votes to 52,348 for Clark. Jones said Clark "ran a good race, and I think he has set up things so we can win the 10th next time." . .. m UP Nominates Candidates.

At the same time Rockefeller shoved himself in and Harriman out of the 1960 presidential picture and cast a shodow of uncertainty over the ambitions of Vice Presi dent Nixon. Until Rockefeller sky rocketed across the political firma ment, Nixon apparently was coast ing smoothly along toward GOP presidential nomination two years hence. NO 1960 INTEREST Rockefeller insisted again that he has no interest in the 1960 GOP presidential nomination. "It honestly doesn't enter my mind except when you fellows ask me about it," he said. "I have a tremendous job ahead of me . . ." It was an election in which the Democrats refused to yield a single se:aate seat while toppling 13 Re publicans. The las;t GOP seat tumbl ed in the last senate race to be settled, in Wyoming. ' Sen. Frank A. Barnett, A conservative Repub lican, was nosed out by Democrat Gaile W. McGee, a young history professor. With the outcome of Governor ship races undecided only in Ne braska, Democrats had lost : four of their own governors and taken eight places from the Republicans. Four Other To Come Up For Action The Student Legislature tonight will resume action on the controversial proposal by Gary Greer SP suggesting that jury selection for the Honor Council be put on a campus wide basis. The governing body will meet at 7.30 ilvPhi Hall, New East. - " l - - y i v I I) ; 1 i, i i nrffiftttliil DR. ROBERT FITCH . . . cycle coming to an end Fitch Predicts Distinct Fall In Divorce Rate By MARY ALICE ROWLETTE Dr. Robert E. Fitch, dean of the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, Calif., predicted a dis tinct fall in the United States' di vorce rate in the' next 10 years during a speech Tuesday night in Carroll Hall. Dr. Fitch, whose visit in tho UNC campus was sponsored by ths Wesley Foundation, spoke on the "Decline and Fail of Sex." He said that immediately after World War I the American people "discovered" sex. They began to treat it as a purely animal appe tite, completely separated from love, honor and duty. "After 40 years," he said, "there are indications that the cycle is coming to an end." He pointed out that young people today. are marry ing earlier and having more chil dren than their more radical par ents. There is less infidelity and divorce. The present generation is becoming more respectable and conservative. He added that such popular nov els as "Marjorie Morningstar" and "By Love Possessed" mark a re volt against the sensationalistic treatment of sex. However, he was not completely happy with the "sane" younger generation? "If this means a re turn to a craven passion for se curity and a loss of a sense of ad venture." he said "I'd rather re turn to the era of sensational sex." He suggested that the "middle of the road" neither Mickey Spillaneism nor Victorianism was best. "Perhaps it is time for us to become human beings," he concluded.

The gears didn't mesh fast enough, "said Rupen, On a rail trip through Siberia, Rupen said that he noticed many young people on their way to as signments of several years in Si beria, "they did not seem down cast, but were entustiac,' he reported.
