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.

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

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.

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

didate Henry Wallace, Truman
Insisted in his campaign windup

"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

Truman went on home to In

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.
