Hail the men of Nebraska U. The Outside World By FRED DALY Staff Writer Campaigning Increases Last-minute campaigning rose to a thunderous crescendo Monday as President Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson wound up a hard-fought campaign with appeals for voters to turn out in force for congressional and state elections Tuesday. " Republicans were regarded nationally as fighting an uphill battle to retain their slender edge in the House and the Senate, won in 1952. Democrats happily predicted a sweep of both houses and the taking over of six GOP governorships. An air of uncertainty still remained, generated by disputes over the effectiveness of strenuous last-minute campaigning by Eisenhower and the depth of penetration of what the Democrats called "red smear" against some of their. candidates. The last time control of Congress changed in mid-term elections was in 1946 when the Republicans, gained control during Harry Tru man's first term. Troops Sent lo Algeria Anti-French terrorist outbreaks In , Algeria prompted French Premier Mendes-France to order three battalions of paratroopers into the area Monday. At least five soldiers and police have been assassi nated. Algerian authorities reported 30 or more bombings and deliberately set fires Sunday night resulting in more, than half a million dollars in property damage. A communique Monday morning said 7'perfect taun had been restored. ; ' . . The outbreaks of violence were the first in Algeria, which is sandwiched between the violence-ridden protectorates of French Mor rocco and Tunisia. Extra French security forces have been made available to the French commander in "Algiers. Figures Doii't Lie? Manufacturers received more new orders in September than in any other month since mid-1953 when the business downturn,, first started, the Commerce Department said Sunday. They also said nianu facturers' sales climbed slightly and that the backlog of unfilled orders" rose for the first time in 19 moaths. , These figures have been used by the administration to support its tand that the economy is once again on the upswing. They have already reported a 358,000 unemployment drop in October, although employment failed to make an equal gain. t The Cbmmerce Department attributed the spurt in manufacturers orders largely to an increase in governmental military orders. Com merce Secretary Sinclair Weeks said last June the administration uld give the economy "a little nudge" by stepping up defense orders. China Desires Peace Indian Prime Minister Nehru says China's Communist rulers want Peace to carry out 15 or 20 year's of intensive industrial development. Nehru just finished a 10-day visit to.Pelping. "My visit to China has led me to believe the people of China are anxious to have peace and avoid war," he declared.

The building is located near 70th and Adams in Lincoln. "The proposal will be taken up in the near future," Bruce Nicoll, administrative assistant to the Chancellor, said. There will probably be a campus committee to investigate the idea, Nicoll continued. Nebraska Needs Research Nebraska has everything but research to offer industry, Welsh said.

The building, which has a re placement value varying from $50 000 to $75,000, is owned by the Ag riculture Research Foundation Inc., of which Welsh is president. Welsh recommended Dr. Leo M.

His rise to the top of the musis world is probably due to his wide and varied experiences. He ha been playing since pre-grade school days, appearing with Paul Whiteman at the age of five in the "Children's Hour." v Between the ages of eight and 12 Grady studied drums with many of the country's leading teachers.

He began playing with leading dance bands at this time. Grady joined the Army at the age of 17 and was in one of the Glenn Miller bands. After his dis charge from the service he was associated with the Dorsey band. He left Dorsey in 1952 and went to New York to pky with Benny Goodman.

Homecoming Game Tickets Still Available Remaining tickets for the Home coming game include 1,500 stadium priced at $3.50, 4,000 bleacher tick ets at $2 and 3,000 knowhole at 50 cents. According' to A. J. Lewan- dbwski, athletic business manager, ticket sales for the 1954 football season have shown a definite de crease from sales of the preced ing year. This is due primarily to the low attendance of Nebraska' two home games and to the com paratively small number of season tickets sold. If Nebraska should attend tht Orange Bowl, the policy of hand ling tickets for students, faculty and general public must be set by Bill Orwig, director of athletics, and other faculty officials. .
