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. He said Mao

Research
Institute
Proposed
An existing research building has
been offered to the University "free
and clear" as the first step toward
the formation of an "Institute of
Applied Research" by Regent J.
Le Roy Welsh of Omaha.
Welsh outlined his proposal to
the Board of Regents, pointing out
that the institute would help to at
tract industry to Nebraska. 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 function of the new or
ganization would be to apply the
research done in colleges.
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.
Christensen of Omaha to head
the institute. Dr. Christensen will
retire from his present position as
head of the city's industrial devel
opment organization around the
first of the year, Welsh said.

The purpose of Great Books dis
cussion group is to broaden a per

he was condemned to death for
heretical ideas. "Crito" is a short
conversation between Socrates and

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. .
