RED INTERVENTION
IN MIDDLE EAST CRISIS
THREATS CEASE-FIRE
LONDON, UH— Reports of con
tinuing shooting shadowed a
shaky cease-fire in the Middle
East today.
Prime Minister Eden told the
House of Commons there had been
"Some shooting” during the day at
Port Said in the Suez Canal zone.
He said Britain had no official
confirmation that Egypt accepted
a United Nations cease-fire order.
The Cairo radio, in a broadcast
reported from Beirut, charged
British-French forces were con
tinuing attacks “in defiance of the
U.N. call for a cease-fire.”
Threats of Communist inter
vention, and a declaration by
Premier David Ben-Gurion of Is
rael indicating he will refuse to
pull back troops from the Gaza
strip and Sinai Peninsula further
threatened the hair - triggered
peace, only hours old.
Soviet Defense Minister Mar
shal Georgi Zhukov, in a Bolshe
vik revolution anniversary speech
in Moscow, declared Russia was
ready to send military forces to
throw British, French and Israeli
troops out of Egypt—if the U.N.
approves.
Two of Russia’s satellites, Ro
mania and Czechoslavakia, of
fered in New York to contribute
troops to the U.N. as part of an
international police force in the
Middle East.
An Egyptian diplomat in Hong
Kong said 250,000 Red Chinese
have volunteered for “Egypt’s
struggle against aggression.” So
viet reserve officers were report
ed by another Egyptian diplomat
in Moscow to be volunteering.
Eden said Britain and France
had not the “slightest intention of
moving ahead of their present
positions, or pushing in additional
forces aside from administrative
and security elements.
In Jerusalem, Premier Ben
Gurion declared Israel will not
agree to any foreign forces "no
matter under what name” being
stationed on Israeli soil or terri
tory she occupies. The territory
includes Sinai and the Gaza strip.
The Ben-Gurion statement ap
peared to rule out any Israeli
pullback, even for a U.N. police
force to move in.
HAWAII ELECTS
DEMOCRATIC
DELEGATE
HONOLULU, WV—Hawaii elect
ed a Democratic delegate to Con
gress for the first time since 1932,
and gave the Democrats continued
control of the territorial legisla
thre.
Democrat John A. (Jack) Bums
piled up a 74,878 to 60,247 margin
over Republican delegate Mrs.
Elizabeth P. Farrington in 179 of
187 precincts yesterday.
Burns had failed for the office
twice before, in 1948 against Mrs.
Farrington’s late husband, Joseph
R. Farrington, and in 1954 against
Mrs. Farrington.
The Democrats had apparently
sewed up a 12-3 margin in the
territorial Senate, compared with
the 8-7 edge they had.
Democrats were assured a ma
jority in the House altho their
margin was certain to be down
from the 22-8 lead they won in
1954. That was the first time they
ever won the legislature.
The results of the election could
have a strong effect on Hawaii’s
statehood ambitions.
The Democrats got control of
both houses of the legislature in
1954—for the first time in the
58-year history of the territory.
The vote yesterday shows that
the 1954 win was not a passing
incident, but a shift in local poli
tical thinking.
Harry Bridges’ longshore union
has organized pineapple and sugar
workers. The union backed Bums.
The election results could have
a strong effect on Hawaii’s state
hood ambitions.

President Eisenhower built up
a margin of more than eight mil
lion votes today in his record
smashing second term victory
over Adlai Stevenson. But he ap
peared to be falling short of his
goal of gaining a Republican Con
gress.
The count of popular votes at
9:30 EST was Eisenhower 29,503,
903, Stevenson 21,376,316.
Despite Eisenhower’s landslide
defeat of his Democratic opponent
—a victory that might read a nine
million margin in popular votes—
Democrats appeared to be pulling
into a commanding lead in the
battle for the House.
At 9:30 a.m.EST, the Democrats
had elected 210 of the 218 mem
bers needed to hold onto the
House. Republicans had elected
only 178, despite Eisenhower’s
sweep.
The political complexion of the
Senate—which also appeared like
ly to remain Democratic—hung
on the results of five undecided
races. Democrats won 15 seats in
Tuesday’s voting for a total of 46,
including holdovers.
They needed to win at least
three of the five undecided races.
in all of which they were leading.
These were in Colorado, Ken
tucky, Nevada, Oregon and South
Dakota.
Republicans also had won 15
Senate seats which, with 30 hold
overs, gave them 45 Senate votes.
Kentucky went for Eisenhower
and Republican John Sherman
Cooper won the Senate seat va
cated by the death of Democrat
Alben Barkley.
Eisenhower took Ohio handily,
but Democratic Gov. Frank Lau
sohe defeated GOP Sen. George
Bender. Eisenhower won Idaho,
but Democrat Frank Church beat
GOP Sen. Herman Welker. The
President won Pennsylvania, but
one of his strongest rooters, GOP
Sen. James Duff, was defeated.
Eisenhower carried Iowa, one
of the states where the Democrats
contended there was a farm re
volt. But Democrat Herschel C.
Loveless ousted Republican Gov.
Leo A. Hoegh.
In Massachusetts, Eisenhower
was the winner. But Democrat
Foster Furcolo took the governor
ship away from the Republicans.
Kansas elected its first Democrat
ic governor in 20 years despite
Eisenhower's sweep in that state.
If Congress stays Democratic,
it will be the first time since 1848
that a President has won election
without carrying along at least
one house.
This is the first time a Repub
lican President has won a second
term in 56 years.
Sen. Wayne Morse won for the
Democrats in Oregon over Doug
las McKay.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson also
was re-elected, beating the GOP
candidate, Gov. Langlie.
President Eisenhower
Thanks Stevenson for
‘Pledge of Cooperation’
WASHINGTON. Ifft—President
Eisenhower today messaged de
feated Adlai Stevenson thanks for
Stevenson’s “pledge of coopera
tion.”
Eisenhower sent the telegram
to Stevenson’s home at Liberty
ville, 111. It was the President’s
first act today following his land
slide election victory.
The defeated Democratic candi
date made his promise of cooper
ation in conceding defeat and con
gratulating the winner.
Eisenhower’s reply said:
“I am grateful for your mes
sage of good wishes. In these dif
ficult and uncertain days it is
heartening to have your affirma
tion of the fact that the people of
our country are united.
“I appreciate greatly your
pledge of cooperation for the im
mediate future and for the four
years that lie ahead.”

Men, Women, Children Fighting Russians in Hungary
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, if)—
Hungarian men, women and chil
dren threw themselves with re
newed fury into heavy fighting
against the Russians in stricken
Budapest Tuesday, informed
sources here report. The fighting
was described as about as intense
as it was when the anti-Russian,
anti-Communist revolt began on
October 23.
That was the revolt which un
seated the pro-Moscow govern
ment of Premier Andras Hegedus
and started Hungary on the road
to neutral independence.
Informants in this independent
Informants in this indepen
dent Communist capital said ex
tremely heavy firing lasted con
tinuously thruout Monday and
•
Monday night, and rose in in
tensity in the daylight hours,
particularly in the Gellert Hills
area of Budapest.
While there appeared to be no
hope for the revolution now,
there was a prospect that for some
time to come Hungary would be
in for a period of bitter guerilla
warfare waged by holdout rebels
from strongholds in the interior
of the country.
In Budapest, women darted
into the streets and threw gren
ades at Soviet tanks, reports
from that capital said, and other
women sniped at the Russians
from the windows of buildings.
Even children were seen han
dling weapons. The situation
was described as one of utter
chaos.
These reports said there still
must be many holdout rebels both
inside the capital and the interior
of the country.
Appeal after appeal was broad
cast by radio Budapest to the reb
els to lay down their arms. The
new provisional “government of
workers and peasants” under
Premier Janos Kadar was in con
trol of radio Pecs and radio Mis
kolc which, along with radio Bu
dapest, were broadcasting the ap
peals.
But the insurgents were on the
air again too, from unlocated
points inside the country, begging
the rebels not to surrender their
arms, but to keep them hidden for
future use against the Russians.
