A red-hot fight is in evidence in the. local 22nd congressional district fight between Arthur H. Reede, Democrat, and James Van . • Zandt, Republican. Thirty-three seats in the House of Representatives and one in the senate, as well as the gover norship and five other state posts will be filled by the the voters to day. The contest between Reede and Van Zandt has been a knock downLdrag-out fight from the be ginning. ' Winds Up Campaign Reede wound up his campaign with a statement Monday denying charges leveled against him by the Republicans. He charged that Hugh' Mapchester, who has been campaigning against Reede, "mis represented the truth about me." The Dußois Courier Express on Friday carried an advertisement telling of a broadcast that night featuring Hugh Manchester, "president of student council at Penn .State college." Vhe same indentification ap peared in a newsstory in that paper, and it was stated. - that Manchester, due to his 'position, was in a good spot to know about the issues of the election. Davis Amused Robert Davis, All-College pres ident, said that the statement "amuses me," and he didn't think "he had the nerve to pull some thing like that. He has nothing whatsoever to do with student government." Edward Shanken, president of the Liberal Arts student cpuncil, said that while Manchester 14 a student in that school, he was at "no time a member of the coun cil, and certainly not the presi dent." A Liberal Arts school official said that, while Manchester had a one average, the requisite for the student government associa tions on the campus, he was on probation because of his failure in summer school. Since he is in the division of Intermediate Reg istration, he is not permitted to take part in student government activities, he explained.
