Democrat Senate Edge Toppled, Tie Possible By JACK BELL AP Political Reporter A Republican voting surge toppled President Truman’s Senate leader ship but seemed today to have fall en short of winning control of either branch of Congress. ,, The cross country tuie that push ed further in the background the President’s “Fair Deal” program and raised questions about his'for eign policies brought sharp Repub lican gains in the Senate and in creased GOP strength in the House. | unsat 46 Democrats and keep their Aluminum Display Slated Wednesday The Reynolds Farm Institute Dis play Coach will display the latest lypes of aluminum building pro- Jucts at the Ag Engineering Building from 10 a. m. to 2 p. in. >m Nov. 10.

Whether as Soldier or Civilian Final results in undecided races possibly could bring a Senate tie, with 48 members from each party. Vice President Barkley’s vote would preserve control for the Democrats in such a case.

The GOP needed a net gain of seven to win Senate control. With 84 House races still unde cided, Republicans had gained elev en seats net.

The adverse turn of the Korean war, opposition to the President’s domestic program, criticism of his foreign policy decisions and reac tion to Communist-in-government charges were variously credited with bringing the Republican vic tories. Democratic Upset Republicans won smashing indi vidual victories in a sweep that knocked Senators Scott W. Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic leader, and Francis J. Myers of Pennsyl vania, his assistant, out of office. The same surge carried Senators Millard E. Tydings of Maryland and Elbert Thomas of Utah down to defeat. All four senators were staunch defenders of President Truman. Their defeats prompted Harold E. Stassen, a potential 1952 Republi can presidential candidate, to sug gest that Secretary of State Ache- son had received a “vote of no con fidence” and ought to resign. Street.

Communist Troops Bombed on Border Seoul, Nov. 8—DP)—Six hundred Allied warplanes blasted North Ko rea all along the Manchurian bor der today to block off Red rein forcements from Communist Chi na. But air observers reported “very heavy traffic” rolling across Man churia toward the Yalu River boun dary. They also spotted an esti mated 700 vehicles already south of the river in North Korea. As the U. N. air arm mounted one of the largest raids of the Ko rean war, reinforcements arrived on the Korean east coast. Ele ments of the U. S. Third Infantry Division landed at the port of Won san. Troops Advance On the ground U. N. troops pushed forward on all fronts. The unexplained Communist withdrawal continued. Intelligence officers at General MacArthur’s Tokyo headquarters clamped a surprise news blackout on developments between Commu nist battle lines and the Manchu rian border. They said the clamp- down would be temporary. They declined to answer ques tions about the Reds’ ultimate in tentions—whether the Communists presumably were planning an at tack, trying to consolidate present lines or preparing a series of de laying actions. In an historic sidelight to the air war, jet met jet in a fight to the death for the first time. The battle occurred over the North Ko rean border city of Sinuiju, a key target for the 600-plane assault. Jets Battle An American F-80 Shooting Star jet shot down a Russian-made MIG-15 jet fighter while the planes sped at better than 600 miles an hour. Another Red jet was damag ed but escaped to Manchuria. Pilots said the Red jets tried to lure them across the border, over Manchuria—a new tactic. U. N. planes have been ordered to stay clear of Chinese Communist air. In the big raid 80 U. S. B-29 superforts dumped 640 tons of bombs on Sinuiju, concentration point for Chinese Red supplies and site of an airfield used by Red jets in attacks on U. S. aircraft. A U. S. air force spokesman said Sinuiju, a city of 100,000, Was “pretty well taken care of” by 85,000 incendiary bombs.
