300 UN Planes Bomb Simiiju,
North Korean Refugee Capital
90% of Town, Close to Manchuria Border,
Reported Destroyed in Biggest Fire Raid of War
By the United Press
TOKYO, Nov. 8.—In the heaviest
fire raid of the Korean|war, more
than 300 United Nations planes to
day attacked and burned the Com
munist refugee capital of Sinuiju, a
border town only 2,000 feet from
Manchuria.
A fleet of 79 Superfortresses and
some 225 fighter planes pounded
the Communist capital with high
explosives, fire bombs, rockets and
bullets.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s head
quarters said the B29s dropped 632
tons of explosives and incendiary
bombs into the city, while fighter
planes rocketed and strafed airfields
and other key targets in North
Korea.
Returning pilots estimated that
the Red capital, across the Yalu
River from Manchuria, was 90 per
cent destroyed.
Gen. MacArthur ordered this first
co-ordinated bomber-fighter at
tack of the war in an attempt to
knock out the principal North Ko
rean receiving point for supplies
and troops pouring into North Ko
rea from Communist China.
It was the first time American
bombers had struck a Korean
border city.
The Air Force said all targets
were of a military nature and that
bombardiers were instructed to
avoid hospital areas and the section
just southeast of the bridges and
southwest of the principal railroad
station.
Maj. Gen. Emmet O’Donnell, Far
East Bomber Commander, said: “We
realize the danger and implication
of bombing a town just 2,000 feet
from neutral territory, but we felt
absolutely confident we could do it
safely.”
He said that bomber crews had
been ordered to bomb only if they
had good visibility, to remain on
the Korean side of the border and
if they received anti-aircraft fire
from the other side to “take it,”
and not strike back at Commun
ist Chinese territory.
Elsewhere along the Chinese
border, United States F80 jets and
F51 Mustangs destroyed at least
one Russian-made MIG15 jet
fighter and damaged four others in
a series of split-second battles. No
American plane was hit.

Acheson Gives
U.S. Views on
Big-Four Talks
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. — Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson said
today any new meeting of the Big
Four Foreign Ministers must be
based on a “genuine desire” by Rus
sia to lessen the threats to world
security.
Commenting on the Russian pro
posal for a meeting to take up Ger
man unification and demilitariza
tion, he said: “It is our most
earnest desire” to remove world
fears, which he blamed on Soviet
threats and aggression.
The text of Mr. Acheson’s state
ment said:
“We, of course, are giving careful
consideration, in consultation with
the French and British govern
ments, to the Soviet proposal for a
meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers on the demilitarization
of Germany.
“We find it somewhat extraor
dinary that the Soviet government
should be so eager that this meet
ing be held promptly.
‘The Soviet government delayed
over five months its reply to our
note of last May calling upon the
Soviet authorities in Germany to
disband extensive and heavily arm
ed para-military forces which they
have created in the Eastern zone-
The belated Soviet reply completely
evaded the issue.
‘Furthermore, I should like to
point out that at the Council of
Foreign Ministers in the spring of
1949, five futile weeks (were devoted

In judging the merits of ap
plicants for visas the government
has set upon a new formula. It
is understood that the government
decided to refuse admission to any
official of a Communist organiza
tion abroad or of any clear-cut
Communist front organization
abroad. Mr. Picasso, Mr. Ehren
burg and Dr. Joliot-Curie fall into
this category.
Following this new formula, the
government has barred officials of
the Communist-dominated World
Federation of Trade Unions and
the World Federation of Demo
cratic Youth.
Leaders of the British Peace
Committee, which is host to the
congress, are expected to object
strenuously to the government’s
ban on prominent delegates.
France to Seek
Broad Agenda
If Big 4 Meet
By William J. Humphreys
The French Cabinet decided
yesterday that the four-power con
ference proposed by the Soviet
Union should take place only if
Moscow agrees to discuss issues in
the Far East and Austria as well
as Germany.
Red China’s help to both North
Korean forces and Communist
rebel Ho Chi-minh in Indo-China
emerged as essential topics for
round-table settlement when the
Cabinet approved a “yes, maybe”
response to the Soviet note.
The major French condition,
Minister of Information Albert
Gazier said, was that the four
powers explore the ensemble of
the problems dividing the Western
democracies and the Soviet bloc.
Another government source ex
plained that the “ensemble” in
cluded Korea and Indo-China.
Furthermore, according to the
French government’s view, careful
preparation of an agenda should
precede an actual conference on
the Foreign Minister level so that
there would be the best possible
chance of reaching agreement.
This decision by Premier Ren6
Pleven’s government reflected the
common fear in Paris, Washington
and London that a conference,
without precise undertakings to
tackle issues, would result only in
wasted time for the Western pow
ers and a new source of propa
ganda for the Soviet Union.
M. Gazier said that the French
government was in contact with
London and Washington on draft
ing a conditional order of the day.
This would be included in the
French reply to be ready at the
end of this week, he said.
The Soviet note proposed a con
ference on the German problem
alone. The Moscow proposition was
based on ending the Allied oc
cupation and unifying the coun
try on the basis of the Prague
recommendations, which have been
judged unacceptable by the United
States, Great Britain and France.
Mollet Favors Talks
Between West , Russia
By Robert Yoakum
Guy Mollet, secretary-general of
the French Socialist party, suggest
ed yesterday that the United States,
Great Britain and France submit a
“counter-proposal” in reply to the
recent Russian note asking for a
four-power conference on the future
of Germany.
Diplomats of the three nations
are now formulating a reply to the
Russian request.

Adenauer
But He Asserts Present
Tension Requires an
Early Arms Decision
By Don Cook
From, the Herald Tribune Bureau
Copyright New York Herald Tribune, Inc.
BONN, Nov. 8.—Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer today accepted “with
satisfaction and gratitude” the
French Pleven plan as a basis for
negotiations for a European army,
but asserted that “present inter
national tension requires faster
settlement” of the German remili
tarization question.
Opening the first formal Bundes
tag debate on remilitarization after
months of public discussion, Dr.
Adenauer thus walked a careful
tightrope between the opposing
French and American views on a
German contribution for Western
European defense. He immediately
encountered stormy and somewhat
polemic—but not ultimately too
decisive—opposition from Social
Democratic leader Dr. Kurt Schu
macher.
Rejecting the government’s meth
ods in approaching the remilitariza
tion question. Dr. Schumacher
demanded that the Western Allies
demonstrate “a spirit of inter
national solidarity with political
and military facts” as a prior con
dition of any German contribution.
‘Facts’
These “facts’* he outlined as an
end to the occupation statute and
the occupation concepts, a guaranty
that there would be “no withdrawal
of the Anglo-Saxon powers and
that their fate would be tied with
the German fate,” a recognition of
Germany’s burden in working out
an apportionment of international
defense costs and “equal status as
the only positive premise for Ger
man remilitarization.”
Dr. Schumacher’s party did not,
however, press the Bundestag to a
test vote on the remilitarization
issue, as it had originally planned
The party had prepared a motion
which would have called for new
general elections before any deci
sion to raise German forces was
taken by the government, but evi
dently in the face of events abroad
the Social Democrats decided it
would be carrying opposition too
far to force a test vote on the issue
at this stage.
The Soviet proposal for a new
four-power talk on Germany and
the intervention of Chinese Com
munists in Korea both have had
the effect of moderating what last

Taft Asks Airing of Pledges
To Defend Western Europe
Hints Congress Battle on
Whether Europe ‘Can
Really Be Defended’
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. — Sen.
Robert A. Taft, R., of Ohio, de
manded today a thorough airing of
United States commitments to
defend West Europe.
He said one of the questions to
be answered is whether West Eu
rope “can really be defended”
against Russian atomic attacks
which might destroy ports and cut
off American armies from their
supplies.
Indicating that a battle over the
issue is likely when Congress re
turns to Washington later this
month, Sen. Taft accused the Tru
man administration of manking
military commitments “without the
slightest public discussion or con
sideration.”
Mr. Taft, in his weekly report to
his constituents, said: “The Admin
istration has pursued a policy of
secrecy, and undertaken to deal
with these (foreign) issues without
giving the people any chance to
decide what they really want.” The
report was prepared prior to the
elections.
Sen. Taft posed six questions
which he said ought to be answered

Guides atW reck, Report Plane
ExplodedonHitting Mt. Blanc
Radio Message Says None Could Have Survived
Impact; Pieces Scattered Over Wide Area
By the Associated Press
CHAMONIX, Nov. 8.—The Indian
Constellation whidh crashed into
Mont Blanc Friday exploded on
impact, first reports from the scene
of the crash disclosed today.
A party of four French guides
which braved an 80 - mile - per-
hour wind in a hazardous two-day
climb to reach the wreckage, re
ported this afternoon that none of
the 48 persons aboard the plane
could have survived the impact.
The guides reported by radio
that they found wreckage and
fragments of human bodies scat
tered over a wide area. Some parts
of the plane appeared to have
caught fire after the crash.
Observers at Chamonix clearly
saw the guides laboriously working
their way through the last barriers
of snow and ice separating them
from the wreckage. They had been
en route from St. Gervais since
Monday evening.
Earlier attempts to reach the
wreck cost the life of Ren6 Payot,
one of the most experienced moun
tain guides of France. All hope of
finding survivors among the 48
persons on board the Constellation
was abandoned at the beginning
of the week.
The four guides who reached the
wreckage this morning belonged to
a party of six which reached the
Tete Rousse refuge Monday night.
One of the men returned to the
valley from there yesterday to get
supplies while the other five con
tinued their way up the treacher
ous ice-covered slopes of the moun
tain.
The five reached the refuge of
the Aiguille du Gouter, about 1,00°
meters below the wreckage, last
night. Their progress this morning
could not be observed until the party
was almost at the remains of the
plane. It was presumed that one
man remained behind in reserve
at the Gouter refuge.
As far as could be ascertained
from Chamonix, the party remained
near the Wreckage only a few min
utes.

Acheson Declares
He Won’t Quit Post
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson, target
of the Republicans in the election
campaign, told his weekly news
conference today he has no inten
tion of resigning.
“As far as my intentions to
resign are concerned, I have no
such intentions whatever,” Mr.
Acheson said.
This was his reply to Republican
leader Harold Stassen, who said
yesterday the election amounted to
a vote of no confidence in Mr.
Acheson.
At the same time Mr. Acheson
said he hopes and believes the
Republican gains in the House and
Senate would not have any effect
upon the conduct of foreign affairs.
Mr. Acheson went on to say that
he is sure the American people and
their representatives in Congress
understand the perilous times in
which the nation now exists, and
will close the ranks to deal with
the problems confronting them.
He said he did not think gains
by severe Republican critics of
foreign policy means repudiation of
American foreign policy.
Dewey’s Edge
Over Lynch Is
Above 500,000
By Murray Snyder
From, the Herald Tribune Bureau
Copyright New York Herald Tribune, Inc.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. —. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey won a third term
in Albany yesterday by a margin
of 571,430 over Rep. Walter A.
Lynch, Democrat-Liberal.
But Mr. Dewey’s running mate
for Senator, Lt. Gov. Joe R. Han
ley, was defeated by Sen. Herbert
H. Lehman, Democratic-Liberal
candidate for re-election. Mr. Leh
man’s plurality was 267,815.
The tide ran against the Demo
cratic-Liberal coalition in the
mayoralty election as well as in the
governorship contest. Acting Mayor
Vincent R. Impellitteri, dissident
Democrat running independently ir.
the four-way race, beat Ferdinand
Pecora, the Democratic-Liberal, by
a plurality of 219,500.
Thanks Supporters
The widely divergent results in
the three major contests were the
product of the mast extensive
ticket-splitting the state has seen
in many years.
Gov. Dewey thanked his sup
porters last night and hailed his
re-election in a statement issued at
11:50 pm. as “a victory for good
government and a victory for clean
campaigning.”
The governor, though not equal
ing his vote-getting record of 1946,
when he won the state by 687,000,
was doing a better job in normally
Democratic New York City. He lost
the city by only 158,493.
Mr. Lynch conceded at 10:33
p.m. He sent a telegram to Gov.
Dewey which said: “The people of
the State of New York have re
elected you governor. I wish you
every success in your administra
tion.”
In reaffirming his title as his
party’s best vote-getter in the state,
Mr. Lehman handed Mr. Hanley
his first defeat at the noils in a
political career that started in 1926.
Mr. Lehman welcomed the verdict
of the voters with “humility, with

From the Herald Tribune Bureau
Copyright New York Herald Tribune, Ine,
. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—An off-year
resurgence in yesterday’s elections
swept the Republican party to
within an eyelash of control of the
United States Senate, chopped
deeply into the Democratic hold
on the House, and toppled key
Democratic leaders from their seats.
In addition, the two top Repub
lican Senators whose seats were at
stake won re-election handily. They
were Sen. Robert A. Taft, of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, and Sen. Eugene
D. Millikin, of Colorado, chairman
of the Senate Republican Con
ference.
The Democrats retained their
numerical superiority in the Senate
by the thin margin of 49 to 47, in
contrast with the 54 to 42 pre-elec
tion lineup. In the house, with
only a few contests 'undecided, the
Democratic majority appeared like
ly to taper off to around 25 seats
instead of the 44 the Democrats
hold in the present Congress. The
81st House lineup is 259 Democrats,
169 Republicans, 1 American-Labor-
ite and 6 vacancies.
The new House count late today
was 229 Democrats, 196 Republi
cans, one Independent heretofore
politically identified as a Democrat,
and 9 undecided contests. For a
mathematical majority, 218 House
seats are needed.
It all amounted to a real triumph
for the Republicans and a bad loss
for the Truman administration, for
these reasons in particular:
1— The Administration can no
longer hope to force its measures
through the Senate, for many
Right-wing Democrats will vote
with the Republicans and give the
Republicans, in effect, a majority.
The same is almost as true in the
House.
2— President Truman lost the
services of the Senate Democratic
leader (Scott W. Lucas), Ill.); the
Democratic whip (Francis Myers,
Pa.); the chairman of the Armed
Services Committee (Millard Tyd
ings, Md.), and the chairman of
the Labor Committee (Elbert
Thomas, Utah). The Democrats
will name new chairmen but a lot
of experience has been lost.
Key Senate Races
The key Senate races were:
OHIO—Sen. Taft won easily over
his Democratic opponent, State
Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson, who
had the support of virtually all of
organized labor as well as the Tru
man Democrats. The Taft margin
was 430.879 votes in a race which
had been considered by most ob
servers as a toss-up.
ILLINOIS—Sen. Lucas, symbol
of the Truman administration, lost
to Everett M. Dirksen, R., despite
ail the Administration could do to
save him. Mr. Dirksen won by
more than 150,000.
MARYLAND—Sen. Tydings, Den>
ocratic Senator from Maryland
since 1927, lost to a political un
known, John Marshall Butler, R.,
who belabored him for “white
washing” a Senate investigation of
Communism in the State Depart
ment.
CALIFORNIA—Rep. Richard M.
Nixon, R., defeated Rep. Helen
Gahagan Douglas, D., for the
Senate, by about a 7-to-5 plurality
in spite of a ringing endorsement
only last week by Mr. Truman.
(Gov. Earl Warren, R., defeated
James Roosevelt, D., by a margin
that approached 9 to 5 in the gov
ernor’s race.)
PENNSYLVANIA—Gov. James
H Duff, R., won over another Ad
ministration stalwart, Sen. Francis
Myers, Democratic whip.
UTAH—Sen. Elbert Thomas, D.,
lost to Wallace F. Bennett, R., in
a contest lended added interest be
cause Mr. Thomas was a Fair Deal
supporter while Mr. Bennett is a
former president of the National

300 UN Planes Bomb Simiiju,
North Korean Refugee Capital
90% of Town, Close to Manchuria Border,
Reported Destroyed in Biggest Fire Raid of War
By the United Press
TOKYO, Nov. 8.—In the heaviest
fire raid of the Korean|war, more
than 300 United Nations planes to
day attacked and burned the Com
munist refugee capital of Sinuiju, a
border town only 2,000 feet from
Manchuria.
A fleet of 79 Superfortresses and
some 225 fighter planes pounded
the Communist capital with high
explosives, fire bombs, rockets and
bullets.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s head
quarters said the B29s dropped 632
tons of explosives and incendiary
bombs into the city, while fighter
planes rocketed and strafed airfields
and other key targets in North
Korea.
Returning pilots estimated that
the Red capital, across the Yalu
River from Manchuria, was 90 per
cent destroyed.
Gen. MacArthur ordered this first
co-ordinated bomber-fighter at
tack of the war in an attempt to
knock out the principal North Ko
rean receiving point for supplies
and troops pouring into North Ko
rea from Communist China.
It was the first time American
bombers had struck a Korean
border city.
The Air Force said all targets
were of a military nature and that
bombardiers were instructed to
avoid hospital areas and the section
just southeast of the bridges and
southwest of the principal railroad
station.
Maj. Gen. Emmet O’Donnell, Far
East Bomber Commander, said: “We
realize the danger and implication
of bombing a town just 2,000 feet
from neutral territory, but we felt
absolutely confident we could do it
safely.”
He said that bomber crews had
been ordered to bomb only if they
had good visibility, to remain on
the Korean side of the border and
if they received anti-aircraft fire
from the other side to “take it,”
and not strike back at Commun
ist Chinese territory.
Elsewhere along the Chinese
border, United States F80 jets and
F51 Mustangs destroyed at least
one Russian-made MIG15 jet
fighter and damaged four others in
a series of split-second battles. No
American plane was hit.

Acheson Gives
U.S. Views on
Big-Four Talks
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. — Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson said
today any new meeting of the Big
Four Foreign Ministers must be
based on a “genuine desire” by Rus
sia to lessen the threats to world
security.
Commenting on the Russian pro
posal for a meeting to take up Ger
man unification and demilitariza
tion, he said: “It is our most
earnest desire” to remove world
fears, which he blamed on Soviet
threats and aggression.
The text of Mr. Acheson’s state
ment said:
“We, of course, are giving careful
consideration, in consultation with
the French and British govern
ments, to the Soviet proposal for a
meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers on the demilitarization
of Germany.
“We find it somewhat extraor
dinary that the Soviet government
should be so eager that this meet
ing be held promptly.
‘The Soviet government delayed
over five months its reply to our
note of last May calling upon the
Soviet authorities in Germany to
disband extensive and heavily arm
ed para-military forces which they
have created in the Eastern zone-
The belated Soviet reply completely
evaded the issue.
‘Furthermore, I should like to
point out that at the Council of
Foreign Ministers in the spring of
1949, five futile weeks (were devoted

In judging the merits of ap

has set upon a new formula. It
is understood that the government
decided to refuse admission to any
official of a Communist organiza
tion abroad or of any clear-cut
Communist front organization
abroad. Mr. Picasso, Mr. Ehren
burg and Dr. Joliot-Curie fall into
this category.
Following this new formula, the
government has barred officials of
the Communist-dominated World
Federation of Trade Unions and
the World Federation of Demo
cratic Youth.
Leaders of the British Peace
Committee, which is host to the
congress, are expected to object
strenuously to the government’s
ban on prominent delegates.
France to Seek
Broad Agenda
If Big 4 Meet
By William J. Humphreys
The French Cabinet decided
yesterday that the four-power con
ference proposed by the Soviet
Union should take place only if
Moscow agrees to discuss issues in
the Far East and Austria as well
as Germany.
Red China’s help to both North
Korean forces and Communist
rebel Ho Chi-minh in Indo-China
emerged as essential topics for
round-table settlement when the
Cabinet approved a “yes, maybe”
response to the Soviet note.
The major French condition,
Minister of Information Albert
Gazier said, was that the four
powers explore the ensemble of
the problems dividing the Western
democracies and the Soviet bloc.
Another government source ex
plained that the “ensemble” in
cluded Korea and Indo-China.
Furthermore, according to the
French government’s view, careful
preparation of an agenda should
precede an actual conference on
the Foreign Minister level so that
there would be the best possible
chance of reaching agreement.
This decision by Premier Ren6
Pleven’s government reflected the
common fear in Paris, Washington
and London that a conference,
without precise undertakings to
tackle issues, would result only in
wasted time for the Western pow
ers and a new source of propa
ganda for the Soviet Union.
M. Gazier said that the French
government was in contact with
London and Washington on draft
ing a conditional order of the day.
This would be included in the
French reply to be ready at the
end of this week, he said.
The Soviet note proposed a con
ference on the German problem
alone. The Moscow proposition was
based on ending the Allied oc
cupation and unifying the coun
try on the basis of the Prague
recommendations, which have been
judged unacceptable by the United
States, Great Britain and France.
Mollet Favors Talks
Between West , Russia
By Robert Yoakum
Guy Mollet, secretary-general of
the French Socialist party, suggest
ed yesterday that the United States,
Great Britain and France submit a
“counter-proposal” in reply to the
recent Russian note asking for a
four-power conference on the future
of Germany.
Diplomats of the three nations
are now formulating a reply to the
Russian request.

Adenauer
But He Asserts Present
Tension Requires an
Early Arms Decision
By Don Cook
From, the Herald Tribune Bureau
Copyright New York Herald Tribune, Inc.
BONN, Nov. 8.—Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer today accepted “with
satisfaction and gratitude” the
French Pleven plan as a basis for
negotiations for a European army,
but asserted that “present inter
national tension requires faster
settlement” of the German remili
tarization question.
Opening the first formal Bundes
tag debate on remilitarization after
months of public discussion, Dr.
Adenauer thus walked a careful
tightrope between the opposing
French and American views on a
German contribution for Western
European defense. He immediately
encountered stormy and somewhat
polemic—but not ultimately too
decisive—opposition from Social
Democratic leader Dr. Kurt Schu
macher.
Rejecting the government’s meth
ods in approaching the remilitariza
tion question. Dr. Schumacher
demanded that the Western Allies
demonstrate “a spirit of inter
national solidarity with political
and military facts” as a prior con
dition of any German contribution.
‘Facts’
These “facts’* he outlined as an
end to the occupation statute and
the occupation concepts, a guaranty
that there would be “no withdrawal
of the Anglo-Saxon powers and
that their fate would be tied with
the German fate,” a recognition of
Germany’s burden in working out
an apportionment of international
defense costs and “equal status as
the only positive premise for Ger
man remilitarization.”
Dr. Schumacher’s party did not,
however, press the Bundestag to a
test vote on the remilitarization
issue, as it had originally planned
The party had prepared a motion
which would have called for new
general elections before any deci
sion to raise German forces was
taken by the government, but evi
dently in the face of events abroad
the Social Democrats decided it
would be carrying opposition too
far to force a test vote on the issue
at this stage.
The Soviet proposal for a new
four-power talk on Germany and
the intervention of Chinese Com
munists in Korea both have had
the effect of moderating what last

Taft Asks Airing of Pledges
To Defend Western Europe
Hints Congress Battle on
Whether Europe ‘Can
Really Be Defended’
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. — Sen.
Robert A. Taft, R., of Ohio, de
manded today a thorough airing of
United States commitments to
defend West Europe.
He said one of the questions to
be answered is whether West Eu
rope “can really be defended”
against Russian atomic attacks
which might destroy ports and cut
off American armies from their
supplies.
Indicating that a battle over the
issue is likely when Congress re
turns to Washington later this
month, Sen. Taft accused the Tru
man administration of manking
military commitments “without the
slightest public discussion or con
sideration.”
Mr. Taft, in his weekly report to
his constituents, said: “The Admin
istration has pursued a policy of
secrecy, and undertaken to deal
with these (foreign) issues without
giving the people any chance to
decide what they really want.” The
report was prepared prior to the
elections.
Sen. Taft posed six questions
which he said ought to be answered

Guides atW reck, Report Plane
ExplodedonHitting Mt. Blanc
Radio Message Says None Could Have Survived
Impact; Pieces Scattered Over Wide Area
By the Associated Press
CHAMONIX, Nov. 8.—The Indian
Constellation whidh crashed into
Mont Blanc Friday exploded on
impact, first reports from the scene
of the crash disclosed today.
A party of four French guides
which braved an 80 - mile - per-
hour wind in a hazardous two-day
climb to reach the wreckage, re
ported this afternoon that none of
the 48 persons aboard the plane
could have survived the impact.
The guides reported by radio
that they found wreckage and
fragments of human bodies scat
tered over a wide area. Some parts
of the plane appeared to have
caught fire after the crash.
Observers at Chamonix clearly
saw the guides laboriously working
their way through the last barriers
of snow and ice separating them
from the wreckage. They had been
en route from St. Gervais since
Monday evening.
Earlier attempts to reach the
wreck cost the life of Ren6 Payot,
one of the most experienced moun
tain guides of France. All hope of
finding survivors among the 48
persons on board the Constellation
was abandoned at the beginning
of the week.
The four guides who reached the
wreckage this morning belonged to
a party of six which reached the
Tete Rousse refuge Monday night.
One of the men returned to the
valley from there yesterday to get
supplies while the other five con
tinued their way up the treacher
ous ice-covered slopes of the moun
tain.
The five reached the refuge of
the Aiguille du Gouter, about 1,00°
meters below the wreckage, last
night. Their progress this morning
could not be observed until the party
was almost at the remains of the
plane. It was presumed that one
man remained behind in reserve
at the Gouter refuge.
As far as could be ascertained
from Chamonix, the party remained
near the Wreckage only a few min
utes.

Acheson Declares
He Won’t Quit Post
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—Secre
tary of State Dean Acheson, target
of the Republicans in the election
campaign, told his weekly news
conference today he has no inten
tion of resigning.
“As far as my intentions to
resign are concerned, I have no
such intentions whatever,” Mr.
Acheson said.
This was his reply to Republican
leader Harold Stassen, who said
yesterday the election amounted to
a vote of no confidence in Mr.
Acheson.
At the same time Mr. Acheson
said he hopes and believes the
Republican gains in the House and
Senate would not have any effect
upon the conduct of foreign affairs.
Mr. Acheson went on to say that
he is sure the American people and
their representatives in Congress
understand the perilous times in
which the nation now exists, and
will close the ranks to deal with
the problems confronting them.
He said he did not think gains
by severe Republican critics of
foreign policy means repudiation of
American foreign policy.
Dewey’s Edge
Over Lynch Is
Above 500,000
By Murray Snyder
From, the Herald Tribune Bureau
Copyright New York Herald Tribune, Inc.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. —. Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey won a third term
in Albany yesterday by a margin
of 571,430 over Rep. Walter A.
Lynch, Democrat-Liberal.
But Mr. Dewey’s running mate
for Senator, Lt. Gov. Joe R. Han
ley, was defeated by Sen. Herbert
H. Lehman, Democratic-Liberal
candidate for re-election. Mr. Leh
man’s plurality was 267,815.
The tide ran against the Demo
cratic-Liberal coalition in the
mayoralty election as well as in the
governorship contest. Acting Mayor
Vincent R. Impellitteri, dissident
Democrat running independently ir.
the four-way race, beat Ferdinand
Pecora, the Democratic-Liberal, by
a plurality of 219,500.
Thanks Supporters
The widely divergent results in
the three major contests were the
product of the mast extensive
ticket-splitting the state has seen
in many years.
Gov. Dewey thanked his sup
porters last night and hailed his
re-election in a statement issued at
11:50 pm. as “a victory for good
government and a victory for clean
campaigning.”
The governor, though not equal
ing his vote-getting record of 1946,
when he won the state by 687,000,
was doing a better job in normally
Democratic New York City. He lost
the city by only 158,493.
Mr. Lynch conceded at 10:33
p.m. He sent a telegram to Gov.
Dewey which said: “The people of
the State of New York have re
elected you governor. I wish you
every success in your administra
tion.”
In reaffirming his title as his
party’s best vote-getter in the state,
Mr. Lehman handed Mr. Hanley
his first defeat at the noils in a
political career that started in 1926.
Mr. Lehman welcomed the verdict
of the voters with “humility, with

. NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—An off-year
resurgence in yesterday’s elections
swept the Republican party to
within an eyelash of control of the
United States Senate, chopped
deeply into the Democratic hold
on the House, and toppled key
Democratic leaders from their seats.
In addition, the two top Repub
lican Senators whose seats were at
stake won re-election handily. They
were Sen. Robert A. Taft, of Ohio,
chairman of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee, and Sen. Eugene
D. Millikin, of Colorado, chairman
of the Senate Republican Con
ference.
The Democrats retained their
numerical superiority in the Senate
by the thin margin of 49 to 47, in
contrast with the 54 to 42 pre-elec
tion lineup. In the house, with
only a few contests 'undecided, the
Democratic majority appeared like
ly to taper off to around 25 seats
instead of the 44 the Democrats
hold in the present Congress. The
81st House lineup is 259 Democrats,
169 Republicans, 1 American-Labor-
ite and 6 vacancies.
The new House count late today
was 229 Democrats, 196 Republi
cans, one Independent heretofore
politically identified as a Democrat,
and 9 undecided contests. For a
mathematical majority, 218 House
seats are needed.
It all amounted to a real triumph
for the Republicans and a bad loss
for the Truman administration, for
these reasons in particular:
1— The Administration can no
longer hope to force its measures
through the Senate, for many
Right-wing Democrats will vote
with the Republicans and give the
Republicans, in effect, a majority.
The same is almost as true in the
House.
2— President Truman lost the
services of the Senate Democratic
leader (Scott W. Lucas), Ill.); the
Democratic whip (Francis Myers,
Pa.); the chairman of the Armed
Services Committee (Millard Tyd
ings, Md.), and the chairman of
the Labor Committee (Elbert
Thomas, Utah). The Democrats
will name new chairmen but a lot
of experience has been lost.
Key Senate Races
The key Senate races were:
OHIO—Sen. Taft won easily over
his Democratic opponent, State
Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson, who
had the support of virtually all of
organized labor as well as the Tru
man Democrats. The Taft margin
was 430.879 votes in a race which
had been considered by most ob
servers as a toss-up.
ILLINOIS—Sen. Lucas, symbol
of the Truman administration, lost
to Everett M. Dirksen, R., despite
ail the Administration could do to
save him. Mr. Dirksen won by
more than 150,000.
MARYLAND—Sen. Tydings, Den>
ocratic Senator from Maryland
since 1927, lost to a political un
known, John Marshall Butler, R.,
who belabored him for “white
washing” a Senate investigation of
Communism in the State Depart
ment.
CALIFORNIA—Rep. Richard M.
Nixon, R., defeated Rep. Helen
Gahagan Douglas, D., for the
Senate, by about a 7-to-5 plurality
in spite of a ringing endorsement
only last week by Mr. Truman.
(Gov. Earl Warren, R., defeated
James Roosevelt, D., by a margin
that approached 9 to 5 in the gov
ernor’s race.)
PENNSYLVANIA—Gov. James
H Duff, R., won over another Ad
ministration stalwart, Sen. Francis
Myers, Democratic whip.
UTAH—Sen. Elbert Thomas, D.,
lost to Wallace F. Bennett, R., in
a contest lended added interest be
cause Mr. Thomas was a Fair Deal
supporter while Mr. Bennett is a
