f Four 'Fair Deal'
I Supporters Out
f , The Democrats still had con-
trol of Congress as a result of
1 Tuesday's election, but their ma-
jorities in both houses of Con-
Igress were greatly reduced.
Late returns indicated that the
Democrats would have a 49 to 47
majority in the senate. Nearly
I completed returns in the house
races gave the Democrats 225
seats and the Republicans 195,
with 14 seats still undecided.
Four strong supporters of
President Truman's "fair deal"
program were defeated by their
Republican opponents. Sen. Scott
Lucas of Illinois, majority whip;
Sen. Millard E. Tydings of Mary
land; and Sen. Elbert D. Thomas
of Utah, all lost out in their bids
for re-election.
Republicans Re-elected
On the other band, two of the
foremost Republican leaders, Sen.
Robert Taft of Ohio and Sen.
Eugene Millikin of Colorado,
were successful in their re-election
bids. Sen. Forrest Donnell
of Missouri was the only Repub
lican to be defeated for re-election.
The Republicans gained sen
ate seats in Idaho, California,
Utah, Illinois, Maryland and
Pennsylvania, while losing only
in Missouri.
Election prognosicators were
mildly surprised by the apparent
election of Republican governors
in the normally Democratic
states of Maryland, New Mexico,
Arizona and Nevada. The Re
publicans also gained governor
ships in Connecticut, Idaho and
Michigan.
Presidential Timber
Among those governors who
could be presidential candidates
in 1952, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
of New York, Gov. Earl War
ren of California, Republicans,
and Gov. Frank Lausche of Ohio,
Democrat, won re-election.
Two women who were seeking
high office, Mrs. Helen Gahagan
Douglas, Democratic candidate
for the senate in California; and
Mrs. Ana Frohmiller, Democratic
candidate for governor of Ari
7ona, were both apparently de
feated by their Republican op
ponents. In Utah, where two
"women opposed each other for a
seat in the house, Mrs. Reva
Bosone, Democrat, won.
Withdrawal Asked
The United Nations called on
the government of communist
China to withdraw their troops
from North Korea. American del
egate Warren Austin objected to
a Russian proposal that Chinese
Red delegates be allowed to at
tend sessions in which Gen. Mc
Arthur's report on intervention
will be -discussed.
In an effort to cut off com
munist reinforcements from
Manchuria, United Nations air
planes bombed North Korea along
its "Manchurian border. Observ
ers reported red movements to
ward the boundary.
U. N. troops continued to move
foreward in the face of an un
explained communist withdrawal.
An American F-80 shooting
ctar shot down a Russian jet
fighter in the first all-jet fight
in history.
Proclamation
These are crucial years in the
life of our nation and of the
world; years in which the strug
gle between the iorces of total
itarianism and the forces of de
mocracy is being resolved.
The victory will be ours ulti
mately because the soul and
heart and mind of free men have
the power of reason to move
them to action.
So it was with Sgt. Richard
Pretzer of California who was
erving with the Army of Oc
cupation in Germany when his
enlistment expired recently.
Aware that the fight in Korea
is but another phase in the fight
against world communism, Sgt.
Pretzer at his own expense flew i
from Germany to Korea to re
enlist in the armed forces.
Since his plane fare represent
ed $1,400 lie had saved over a
period of years with which to
purchase an auto, It behooves us
on the home front to help this
young man achieve his ambition.
Therefore, I, Victor Anderson,
Mayor of the City of Lincoln,
by virtue of the powers vested
in me, do proclaim Thursday,
November 9, 1950, as Sgt. Rich
ard Pretzer Day in Lincoln, at
which time all arc urged to con
tribute to a fund lor this young
man to reimburse him for his
gesture in behalf of American
democracy.

GOP Sweeps
State Offices
In Nebraska
It was a republican year in
Nebraska.
Republicans swept all major
state and congressional offices
in the state according to nearly
complete returns from Tues
day's election.
Rep. Carl T. Curtis defeated
Clarence G. Miles in the first
district congressional race after
a campaign in which many Uni
versity students took part. Many
students campaigned actively for
Miles, the democratic nominee.
Curtis' winning margin was the
smallest of his 12-year congres
sional career.
Republican Gov. Val Peterson
won re-election over Walter
Raecke, In the closest guberna
torial race that Nebraska has
seen in 12 years. All other re
publican tate candidates for
state and -congressional offices
won without difficulty.
Freeman Decker was elected
stute superintendent of public
instruction on the non-purtiBan
ticket. Earle G. Johnson and
former Gov. Dwight Griswold
were leading in their races for
j University regents.
The two tax measures passed
by the Nebraska legislature as a
part of the governor's road pro
gram were both repealed by the
-voters. A proposal for changing
legislative terms, sularies, and
session met a similar fate.

Discussion of means by which
the Student Council could aid the
Independent Students Associa
tion was carried on by Council
members Wednesday afternoon.
The student Activities com
mittee chairman, Betty Green,
suggested that this group obtain
information from other colleges
that have strong independent as
sociations and present this to
ISA.
It was brought out that the
ISA doesn't offer enough to its
members, needs faculty supervi
sion and backing, must have
more organization and co-ordination
and must act as more of a
governing body for the inde
pendent students.
Conduct Research
President Bob Raun emphas
ized that the Council would be
able to conduct research and in
vestigation on the problem and
present the results of this to ISA.
Suggestion from the University
governing group presented the
plan of forming a men's govern
ing group to act as the Barb
Activities Board for Women does.
Raun asked the Council for
suggestions concerning the pro
posed plan of turning the yell
squad over to the supervision
and jurisdiction of the Athletic
deoartment. i
Discussion was held on the
suggestion of having University j
women be allowed to act as j
alternates on the yell squad. I
These girls would cheer for home j
games only and not take part in
the tumbling done by the yell
squad this year
These and many other sugges
tions for the plan will be taken
to the Athletic department by
Raun.
Delegates Elected
Rob Raun and Bob Parker
were elected by tne group To
i serve as University Council dele-
gates to the Big Seven Student
Government convention which is
being held at Oklahoma Univer
sity Dec. 7 and 8.
Junior alternate delegates who
will also attend the convention
are: George Wilcox, Miriam Wil
ley and Sharon Fritzler.
Committees were appointed to
investigate the possibilities of in
cluding floats from organized
campus houses for women in
next year's Homecoming cele
bration parade. This idea had
previously been turned down by
the Panhellenic Council.
The Council will also see if
some arrangement could be made
to have an all-University convo
cation declared from 10 to 12 on
the Saturday morning of Home
coming. This would enable all
students to see the parade and
also make it possible for the band
members to participate in full
uniform.

Mysterious AUF Parley
Hints At Friday Fireworks
A strange air of mystery is
revolving about a secret confer
ence held recently by the All
University Fund.
Report has it that several
prominent campus leaders were
present. Rumors are circulating
that presidents of key activities
on campus were called to the
AUF meeting.
The purpose of the conference
is not entirely known. However
it was learned that money was
probably involved. For whom
and what it is not lenown.
Some analysts of the affair be
lieve that it may have just been
a publicity stunt to simply con
fuRe University students.
It is almost confirmed now that
something will break loose this
Friday. But, there is doubt in
some quarters that an all out
coup will be staged in an attempt
to oust the leaders,
Reportero Barred
Reporters, crowded outside
conferences closed doors, were
.convinced that nothing was
amiss. Still, the -various campus
leaders emerged from the parley
with deep frowns m if dubious
about something.
Others however looked rather
querulous and wild-eyed as if
dazed from something.. Photo
graphers, waiting outside, who
were previously told to refrain
from taking pictures, remarked
that 'either strongarm tactics hnd
been used on the prexies or cIrc
they weren't feeling well.

ers will be held in Parlors XY
of the Union. Partial results of
the Religion-in-Life Week ques
tionnaire tabulation will be re
vealed at this time.

Bollard, Robert Fischer, Simha
Kling and Ruth Seabury.
Rev. Bollard has been assist
ing with the separate Catholic

been working with the Univer
sity Jewish students.
Dean McAllister has appeared
Following the conference, one
of the "wheels" confided to a
Rag reporter, "They tell us that
Friday's the day that the .campus
will awaken. The leaders will
have to prove their worth on
that day. But how? Nobody tells
us anything. Groan!"
A statement from b reliable
source Inferred that perhaps the
entire campus would have a
chance to learn more about the
AUF move as early as Friday
morning.
Possible Outgrowth
The possible outgrowths of the
conference may hove been re
garding any of the following:
1. A last ditch attempt to con
solidate the several political par
ties and the faction into one
harmonious body.
2 A cover-up for a meeting of
the TNE's.
3. A planned overthrow of the
faculty, with campus leaders tak
ing -over full responsibility.
4. An unsuccessful attempt by
leaders to induce AUF to donate
money tor a tentative migration
to Oklahoma when the Huskers
play the Sooners.
5. A presentation of the rea
sons by campus leaders why they
should be allowed to participate,
too, in the Ugliest Man on Cam
pus contest before voting closes.
As soon as more details ere
available, The Daily Nebraskan
will publish them. Meanwhile,
