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.

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.
