Of the 63 seats not at stake, Republicans have 33 and Demo crats 30. Of the 33 being filled this year, 18 now are Republican and 15 Democratic. But 11 of the Democratic seats on the block are in the normally Democratic South. In Mississippi and Georgia and In one of two Louisiana contests Democratic nominees are unop posed, while in Arkansas the Democrat has only minor party opposition. There are no unopposed Repub lican nominees for the Senate. Louisiana will elect both a full term senator and one to serve out the remaining two years of the term of the late John H. Overton. Russell B. Long, son of the late Huey P. Long, has nomi nal GOP opposition for this seat. All other Senate races are for the full six-year terms. These 11 are generally regarded as the key states which will de cide the Issue of control: Ken tucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wyoming, Mon tana, New Mexico, Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois and Colorado. The seats at stake are held now by Republicans In all except Mon tana, New Mexico, Tennessee and Colorado.

Roosevelt become president.

Smog Deaths Probed By Group of Chemists (Continued from Page One) official commission report con cluded fog was responsible for the casualties which occurred only among those ovef 55 r suffers from heart and asthmatic condi tions. The report said the total ab sence of wind made possible the concentration of sulphuric add fumes produced by the oxidation of hydrogen sulphide. This had come from fumes from Industrial and domestic furnaces. The Donora fog lifted yester day and the number of sufferers eased off but there were two more deaths both men. At least 32 people remained In the Charleroi Monessen and Monongahela A em orial hospitals, two of them criti cal. Tests May Be Too Late The Stai Department of Health sent In a team of chem ists headed by Dr. Joseph Shilen ot the Industrial Hygiene Bureau. The American Steel and Wire Company, largest industry In the town and a subsidiary of the U.S. Steel Corporation, called on the Independent Hygiene Corpora tion of Pittsburgh to loin with s.'ale authorities in analyzing the air over Donora. Numerous tests were made yes terday and others were planned for today. Dr. Shilen said he hoped to have a report on the first tests this afternoon. "But it Is my guess," he added, "that we will not find anything worthwhile. The greater part of the fog had passed by the time we got into operation." The Donora Zinc Works of the American Steel and Wire Com pany closed and plant superin-1 lenoent m. m. rveale said they would remain so until It was de termined whether the fumes and smoke given off by the smelter furnacr had anything to do with the conditions. Some 650 of thf 900 men em- filoyed at the zinc works were died. The mysterious death-dealing smog was no respecter of age al though t:.e deaths were confined to people In their middle fifties and older. One doctor said he treated a baby of four and one half months and a woman of 85. All Previously III Rudolph Schwerha, member of the Donora Board of Health, said so far as he knew all those who died had previously been under a physician s care. He added: "The deaths seem to have hit people who were suffering from cardiac or asthmatic conditions. There's o doubt that smog was the causp." A doctor who asked that his name not be used said the symp toms in all cases were the same, declaring: ' "They complained of pains In the chest and had a difficult time breathing. We used three meth ods of treatment. They were in jections of adrenalin, use of oxy gen tents and doses of anti-his-taminic." He explained the last is a drug used In asthmatic cases. He said all the victims died of heart failure brought on by an overworked heart due to lack of oxynen. f Truman, Dewey Reach End of Campaigns (Continued from Page One) to win in his own right the mantle that fell upon him as he put it with "the whole weight of the moon and stars and all the planets" when Roosevelt died April 12, 1945. From the heights of popularity In the months that followed, Truman had to put down rebellion in his own party last summer. He was not com pletely successful. But the president stoutly dis putes the poll takers who show Dewey far in the lead. Even with out the votes he will lose In the South to States' Rights Democrat J. btrom thurmond and else where to Progressive Party can didate Henry Wallace, Truman Insisted in his campaign windup mat ne is going to win. "The North, the South, the East and the West are falling In line," he declared at St. Louis Saturday night. Dewey Also Confident For his part, Dewey, too, was confident. He spoke of "the eve of victory" as he closed out !iis campaign in New Yorks Madison Square Garden the city where ne rose to tame as a racket bust ing district attorney. Dewev then went to his Paw. ling, N. Y.. farm to rest until he returns to New York to vote Jid await the outcome. Truman went on home to In dependence, Mo. He will cast his ballot and follow the returns there, but only until an early bedtime. While the presidency is the hip issue tomorrow, the Senate battle commands nearly as much atten tinn.

Mukden, Held by Reds, Now Under Air Assault (Continued from Page One) went over to the Reds, Chiang declared: , "We have had reverses in :he Northeast (Manchuria) but the Communists are-not yet In a po sition to directly menace North China." American authorities mean while Instructed U. S. citizens to prepare to leave North China. The Chinese navy, backed by the six-inch guns of lis former British cruiser, Chungking, is guarding the ports of Ylngkiw and Hulutao as possible escape avenues for whatever national troops managed to get out of Mukden. The president Insisted -he "overall war situation does not give cause for worry." His speech obviously was de signed to encourage Kuomintang leaders who were stunned by the news of the wholesale defeats. Aides Offer Resignations An official source in Nanking said both Premier Wong Wen Hao and the Minister of Finance Wang Yun-Wu had offered their resignations to Chiang because of their failure to solve the eco nomic and currency problems which have mushroomed In the last few hours. This source said no action was taken on the resig nations. The offers to quit the cabinet came but a few hours after the executive Yuan adopted new measures thawing out prices that were frozen In Aug. 19 in a vain effort to support the new gold Yuan currency. Late advices from Mukden said 10 American consulate employes and three dependents were - 111 in the city. Communist troops, with Muk den in their grasp, are expected to seize the rest of the great Japanese-developed Industrial em pire of Manchuria within three weeks. Observers look for a desperate government stand in the narrow Mar.churian corridor between the Gieat Wall and Hulutao, SO miles to he Northwest.
