Over
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov. 9 (Al—The Union of South
Africa walked out of the United Nations today in bitter pro
test over a UN decision to press inquiry into South Africa's
racial segregation policies.
It was the second walkout of the 10th General Assembly.
France withdrew Sept. 30 because the Assembly voted to
take up the question of Algeria.
W. C. du Plessis, chairman of
the South African delegation, an
nounced the withdrawal after the
UN Special Political Committee
voted 37-7 for renewing work of a
commission created three years
ago to study the South African
racial situation.
He said it would be for the dur
ation of the present session sched
uled` to end Dec. 10.
Labels India a Leader
Du Plessis labeled India as the
leader in the decision of the Po
litical Committee..He accused In
dia of conducting a "vendetta"
against South• Africa since vir
tually the founding of the UN 10
years ago,
The United States, among 13
countries which abstained in the
voting, had appealed against con
tinuation of the commission. Rep.
Chester E. Merrew (R-NH), the
U.S. delegate, called its work "of
no practical value."
South Africa had boycotted all
meetings of the Special Commit
tee dealing with racial segrega
tion, but returned for a vote on a
resolution submitted b`y 17 na
tions, mostly from the Asian-Arab
bloc.
Resolution Before Assembly
The resolution which now goes
before the General Assembly for
final approval, called on the Un
ion of South Africa to abide by
the UN Charter's provisions "to
promote the respect of human
rights and fundamental freedoms
without distinction as to race."
Immediately after the vote Du
Plessis asked for the floor. He
reiterated South Africa's conten
tion that its racial segregation
policies—apartheid—a r e internal
matters of no 'concern to the
United Nations.

Says GM Given
Edge in Diesels
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (W)—
Two locomotive builders testified
today the government gave Gen
eral Motors a "head start" in the
diesel-electric fie l d and this
helped the corporation become
even more dominant in locomo
tives than in autos.
William F. Lewis, vice presi
dent of Alco Products, Inc., told
a House Judiciary subcommittee
that GM got the jump on its rivals
during World War 11, when the
government allocated production
responsibility."
General Motors was given the
responsibility • for mass-producing
"road" diesels, Lewis said, and
thus had a "tremendous" advan
tage over other companies who
couldn't get hold of materials to
make diesel locomotives for
"road" service: Road engines are
those which pull trains from sta
tion to station as contrasted with
switching engines.

This program is designed to enable outstanding
graduates in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical
Engineming or Physics to obtain the Master of
Science degree while acquiring experience in an
industrial research and development environ
ment. The program is comprised of full-time
summer employment at Hughes under the guid
ance of experienced scientists and engineers, and
part-time work at Hughes during the regular
school year arranged to permit the student to
maintain a half-time university schedule of
graduate study.
Tuition, books and fees will be provided by
THE HOWARD HUGHES FELLOWSHIPS
IN SCIENCE AND
Eligible for these awards are U.S. chigoes who
have completed one year of graduate work in
Engineering or Physics and who can qualify for

Technology for study toward the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy or post-doctoral work.
Each fellowship covers a twelve-month period
which includes a ten-week advanced develop..
ment project carried out during the summer at
Hughes Research /lc Development Laboratories,
followed by a full-time program of study and
research at California Institute of Technology.
Each appointment provides a cash award of
not less than sa,ooo, a - salary of not less than
$2,500, plus sr„soo for tuition and research ex
penses. In qua of financial responsibilities that

Dems See 'Hopes'
For 1956 Election
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (R)—Democrats drew fresh hope for
1956 today from scattered election victories that gave them a record
smashing victory in the Kentucky governorship race and pushed
them ahead in such battleground
states as Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Connecticut.
There were some Republican
advances too, here and there, but
virtually complete returns from
yesterday's state and municipal
elections showed a clear net ad
vantage to the Democrats in the
matter of organizational strength
for next year's presidential elec
tion.
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Con
necticut—with a total of 53 elec
toral votes—all went Republican
in the 1952 election while Ken
tucky voted Democratic by a
razor-thin 700 votes.
Interest focused today on Indi
ana where sweeping Democratic
gains in mayoral contests pointed
up Democratic claims of farm belt
unrest over Eisenhower adminis
tration agricultural policies.
Pennsylvania voters gave en
couragement to the Democrats,
too. Philadelphia elected Demo
crat Richardson Dilworth as its
mayor with a resounding 130,000-
vote margin over the Republican
who ran with President Eisen
hower's personal endorsement,
W. Thacher Longstreth. The GOP
suffered a net loss of five in
Pennsylvania mayoral elections
