Trusteeship Plans
Washington, Nov. 6 (UP) Both
the White House and the State De

trusteeship powers that would
make the entire Central Pacific from
San Francisco to Tokyo Bay an

America wants the right to fortify
the Marianas, Marshall and Caroline
Islands secretly and without supervi
sion or interference from the United
Nations. The State Department says

has been submitted for preliminary
study to the Security Council. It has
also been submitted to New Zealand
and the Philippine government.
Shortly the government will official
ly ask the Security Council for the
sweeping- trusteeship powers. Under
the proposal, foreign planes could be
barred from flying over U. S. island
bases, and any time the U. S. decided,
the islands could be closed for secur
ity reasons. In addition, America
would promise to' help the native peo
ples economically.

On Italian Border Case
New York, Nov. 6 (UP) The

same predicament as they were before.
Italy says she won't accept volun
tarily the proposed compromise bound
ary which gives to Yugoslavia a large
slice of Italy's strip of land on the
eastern Adriatic shore. Yugoslavia
says she's willing to make certain con
cessions in the stand she took in Paris,
but that she will not sign the proposed
treaty for Italy unless territorial
changes are made in her favor.
The foreign ministers have ad
journed until Friday. The holiday will
permit Soviet Foreign Minister Molo

Peacetime Complacency

Buyer's Market Return
Predicted in New York
New York, Nov. 6 (UP) Dun

to a return to a buyers' market. The
forecast is based on the recent decline
in wholesale commodity prices. Speci
fically, Dun and Bradstreet says that
on November 5th these prices regis
tered the first slump in more than a
month dipping from $6,000.34 the
previous week to $6,000.14. That index
still was two dollars above the cor
responding figure for 1945.
Some commodities still were show
ing advances during the week ending
November 5th: wheat and oats, for
instance, and cottonseed oil, cocoa and
peas. But these gains were offset by
declines in corn, barley, hams, lard,
butter, cheese, hogs, sheep.

bureau for central North Carohaa:

change in temperature.

GOP Landslide to Congress
Not Apparent in Local Vote
From UP Wire Reports
Robert Hannegan's concession of
SOth Congress control to the GOP and
the traditional Democratic victory in
the South presented a strange con
trast yesterday evening as last returns
were confirming the Republican land
slide. On the national scene, Republicans
now hold 241 House seats compared
to the Democratic party's 183, with all
but ten races decided. And the Senate,
for which most observers predicted a
slim Democratic plurality, is now de
finitely the GOP's. Nineteen of 33 gub
ernatorial elections have been conced
ed to Republicans, which already held
a majority among incumbent state ex
executives. Yandenkurg Senate Leader
Joe Martm will replace familiar

He'll Take Lena
However, after viewing a few of
the 'fine examples' of Carolina women

gill ed rero screamed, "111 take Lena!"
With or without the representative

contest yet.
The big race will be held on Emer
son Field at 4 o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon with representatives of the
athletic department on hand to see
that the eager females don't start
chasing the men before the starting
gun. The Valkyries are now down in
Graham Memorial kitchen mixing up
a mess of "prasarved turnips" to feed
the men and gals before the race.
At the post-race marriage ceremony
in Woollen gymnasium Phi Mu Alpha,
national musical honorary fraternity,
will sing the simple Dogpatch nuptial
rites. The vocalists will be under the
personal supervision of Marryin'
Sam.
'Squar Dance in Gym
After the men is caught the proud
females will show them off at the big
squai dance in the gymnasium. Art
Golby is directing the floorshow which
he promises will present the latest in
mountain music and dancing. A fur

exhibition with extra special fancy

SP Will Discuss
Petition Tonight
To discuss sending a student speak
er to the state legislature in January,
the Student party will meet at 4
o'clock this afternoon in Phi hall.
Chuck Heath, party chairman, said
the petition which the UNC represen
tative will present to the lawmakers
in Raleigh will cover the following
three main points:
A self-financing plan for Lenoir
dining hall, University instructors'
salaries, and a proposal for new dor
mitories. . , . ,
to the GOP foreign policy spokesman,
Arthur Vandenberg.
In North Carolina's polls the De
mocratic party carried through as a
matter of tradition, though even Gov.
Gregg Cherry expressed disappoint
ment at the Democrats' failure to ap
pear at the polls and establish the
usual wide margins. In the tenth con
gressional district Republican P. C.
Burkholder came near more than once
topping opponent Hamilton Jones,
though the Democratic candidate held
a slight but definite majority in the
final returns.
Only Sheriff Threatened
Orange county was typical of the
state-wide Democratic apathy, though
all posts except the uncontested coun
ty surveyor's job, which went to
Chapel Hill's Ralph Weaver on a sin
gle write-in ballot remained the pro
perty of the Democratic party. Only
major county candidate whose GOP
opponent held strong to the end was
incumbent Sheriff S. T. Latta.
