„,„..
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 .(EP)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower
appealed tonight for election of another Republican Congress to
"keep our government from political fiddling while the world burns"
and from winding up "in a hopeless jam."
' "Confusion can be avoided and steady progresp assured only by
electing a Republican majority to
the Congress," Eisenhower de
clared in a speech prepared for a
dinner sponsored -by the National
Citizens for Eisenhower Congres
sional Committee
The President, battling hard for
a GOP victory in next Tuesday's
congressional elections, told a na
tionwide television and radio au
dience:
"To go ahead, we must prevent
a split government. The job is
clear. The progressive program
which the vast majority supported
in 1952 needs now the reinforce
ment of their 1954 votes.
"So the job is to get the voters
to the polls. Thus we will keep
our government from political fid
dling while the world burns. Thus
we can go ahead, in this age of
peril, building a stronger, better
America and a lasting peace in
the world.".
In perhaps his most hard-hit
ting.language of the campaign on
what' he called the dangers of a
politically divided government—
a Republican White House and
Democratic-controlled Congress—
the President declared:
"For the good of America, our
governmental traffic must be ef
ficiently. handled. We won't get
anywhere with red lights at all
governmental cross roads. Add to
this, two drivers on every gov
ernmental steering wheel, each
trying to go in a different direc
tion and we shall certainly end
up in a hopeless jam."
Consuls May Be Ousted
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 (/P) —
The Communists appeared today
to be moving toward the ouster of
the U.S. consulate from Hanoi in
North Viet Nam. The State De
partment said this would be .a
flagrant violation of the Indo
china truce agreement:

If Democrats Win

ployes and their families, Wood.

Dauphin County GOP rally;
"You good people of Dauphin
County know the answer to a
Democratic victory.
"Thousands of your friends em
ployed on• Capitol
faithful state workers, with years
of honest service—would find
themselves on the street, jobless
and disheartened because their
work was brushed to the winds
to make room for the aides of the
Democratic gang politicians."
The Republican ,candidate for
governor said it would not be "a
pretty sight" to visualize but that
he felt it would happen if the
Democrats took over the state
government.

move" of the Democratic guber

Eisenhower's
Omen Called
'Unrealistic'
TRENTON, N.J., Oct. 28 (IP)-
9dlai Stevenson said tonight
President Dwight D. Eisenhower's
prediction of a political "cold war"
if a Democratic Congress is elected
seems "singularly unrealistic and
ungrateful."
Stevenson, the Democrats' de
feated 1952 presidential candidate,
said in a prepared television
speech, ". . . . Where the Eisen
hower program has been respon
sible and constructive, ,it has not
only , received unstinting Demo
cratic support, but that support
has in many crucial cases pro
vided the President his margin of
victory.
"This would strongly suggest
that a Democratic majority in
Congress could be trusted .:o sup
port the President on basis ques
tions of security and welfare, the
former Illinois governor said. He
spoke at the Trentori War Me
morial Building after a day of
' campaigning in New Jersey for
Democratic senatorial candidate
Charles R. Howell and the party's
congressional candidates.
Stevenson charged Republican
candidates are unable to talk sense
about foreign .policy, economic is
sues or civil liberties
`So if they can'•t talk sense,"
he said, "all they can do is itarnp,
shout and scream—about th.?.ir op
ponents and Communists in ryov
e.rnment."
"As a. result we haven't heard
much lately about the Republican
record which the President said
was the issue," Stevenson- con
tinued. •

Hemingway
Wins Nobel
Lit Prize
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 28
(JP)—The 1954 Nobel prize for lit
erature was awarded today to
American novelist Ernest Heming
way for creating a new style in
modern writing—lusty and action
packed.
Thirteen members of the Royal
Swedish Academy of Literature,
sitting around a green and white
table, selected the 56-year-old por
trayor of death, violence and abor
tive love affairs. They voted this
citation:
"Ernest Hemingway for his
powerful mastery, which has cre
ated a new style in modern lit
exature, as recently demonstrated
again in 'The Old Man and the
Sea'."
The prize is a gold medal and
a check worth $35,000.
Classic Author
Hemingway, author of such
classics as "A Farewell to Arins"
and "For Whom the Bell Tolls,"
will not be here Dec. 10 when
Sweden's King Gustaf Adolf VI
presents the Nobel literature, med
icirie, chemistry and physics priz
es. Injuries ,suffered in two plane
crashes in East Africa last Janu
ary will prevent him from making
the trip.
Hemingway is the sixth Ameri
can-born writer to win the literary
prize set up by the will of Alfred
Nobel. Swedish inventor of dyna
mite.
A contender for years for this
top literary recognition, Heming
way was chosen over such candi
dates as Haldor Laxness of Ice
land, Niko Kazantzakis of Greece
and Albert Camus' of France.
Big Game Hunter
A man of action as well as a
writer of action stories, Heming
way is an expert big game hunt
er and deep sea. fisherman. A
veteran of World 'War I, he cov
ered the Spanish civil war and
World War II as a newspaper
correspondent. He drew on his
experiences as a fisherman in
writing "The Old Man and the
Sea," which won the 1953 Pulit
zer prize for fiction. It tells of
the victory and defeat of an old
Cuban fisherman and is consid
ered a masterpiece of simple,
powerful writing.
"There are the problems raised
by atomic energy and what it will
do to the already battered coal
industry," Leader said in a pre
pared address.
"In the face of these major prob
lems, all the Republican candi
date Lt. Gov. Lloyd H. Wood can
talk about is the tariff, that one
time Grundy religion which is so
much at odds with what is called
the 'Trade, not aid' policy of the
Eisenhower administration."

British Dock Workers
Accept Compro Plan
LONDON, Oct. 28 (EP)—Striking British waterfront workers
accepted a government compromise plan tonight for ending the
crippling London dock tieup. But they insisted all other British
ports agree to the terms of the plan before they would go back to
work here.
The 11th hour hitch in negotiations hinged on how the compro
mise formula could be applied to
the affected ports of Liverpool,
Southampton, Hull, Manchester,
Brikenhead and G ar s to n. The
spreading strikes most of them
wildcat—have tied up $5OO mil
lion worth of goods and idled 340
ships.
The Labor Ministry said it has
presented the strikers' conditions
to the National Association of
Port Employers.
" The ministry said its stand was
that the extension of the compro
mise formula was not possible be
cause the dispute—o v e'r com
pulsory overtime—arose in Lon
don and was confined to that
port and the proposals had been
discussed only with the parties to
the dispute.
The strike started in London
when some 11,000 members of the
National Amalgamated Union of
Stevedores and Dockers walked
out to push demands that over
time be on a voluntary basis rath
er than on a compulsory basis.
Dockers in the other port cities
defied their union heads and
walked out in sympathy, raising
the total on strike to 43,000.
The government compromise
called for a return to work under
the usual conditions, with over
time held to "reasonable limits."
Negotiations also were to be re
sumed to work out practical ar
rangements on the overtime ques
tion.
The delegates of the stevedores
union were joined by leaders of
the syMpathy strikes in today's
seven-hour session. They said they
would not accept a solution only
for the London docks but would
demand a general •settlement.

Blast KiDs 3
Fire Officials
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28 (AP)—
A 4000 gallon tank blew up mys
teriously •today in the rear yard
of , a chemical plant, killing three
top fire officials and fatally in
juring two hosemen. Twenty-three
other persons were hurt in the
blast.
The explosion, without any fire,
shattered the tank but did no in
side damage to the two-story
building of the Charles W. Berg
Laboratories, chemical and oil
manufacturers.
The, blast came minutes after
firemen responded to a telephone
call that ammonia fumes were
seeping from the plant. The build
ing was closed—it was 6 a.m.—
and no workers were inside.
Police and fire officials believe
the unidentified caller detected
fumes escaping from the 15-foot
high tank and mistook them for
ammonia. Investigation disclosed
no trace of ammonia. •
The wrecked tank contained a
highly -volatile solvent used in
t - eating textiles, and the explos
ion released poisonous fumes, of
ficials said.
Killed by the violent concussion
that showered liquid and metal
in all directions and slammed
firemen against a nearby brick
wall as if they were straws in
the wind were:
Deputy Fire Chief Thomas A.
Kline, 59; Battalion Chief John
W. Magrann, 61; and Battalion
Chief John J. News, 61.
Hosemen Joseph Bandos, 50,
and Joseph Tygh, 33, died hours
later of injuries sustained in the
blast.
