The Elsinore theatre was built, 20 years ago, primarily to faccom modate performances of the "legitimate" theatre, and many fine performances were j h e 1 d there. The' Moroni, Olsen players were regular in their appearance with the best of plays; Fanchon and Marco included Salem in their circuit for light entertain ment. Then there were, of i course. the one-night stands of theatrical and light opera companies. I re- call -Hit the Deck" and "The Desert Song among the latter. The improving c i n e nt a and sound pictures virtually "put the road show out of business so far as , the smaller cities were con cerned. It become?, therefore, a major event in Salem when an authentic company appears in person to present one of he tri- umphs of the modern stage. "Life With Faher." This show comes to the high school auditorium, on Tuesday night, under, the aus pices of the Salem Rotary club. The company had one night be tween engagements along the coast, so Salem is- favored with a one-night stand, which will awaken fragrant memories among those who attended live shows in the old Reed opera house, now the Miller block, or the Grand theatre or the Elsinore.

Nov. 2 -UT,- The 1946 battle of the ballots -produced for the first time tonight an unqualified claim from the democratic command that Tuesday's election- will tighten their grip on both senate and house republicans voiced , confi dence that control of both branches of congress surely will shift to them. I ' With the Issues sharply defined and minds of a multitude of voters made up during weeks of heavy campaigning. Demo cratic National Chairman Robert E. Hannegan revised upward previous forecasts that his party would hang on to majorities in senate and bouse. He predicted: "As the result of the election on Tuesday, the democratie party not only will be returned to its majority status in . both houses of congress, but its membership will be increased ; over that in the 79th congress." - Repulican Chairman Carroll Reece declared as confidently , in another statement: v "The congress to be elected on Tuesday will be a republican congress." He said there will be a "substantial" GOP majority in the house; perhaps an "overwhelming" one. In the senate, Reece predicted simply , a majority. GOP Figures to Add 46 House Votes Reece figured the republicans will add 40 to 49 members to their ranks in the house. Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, chairman of the republican congressional committee, put the total at 46 in a separate statement. One issue has been the leadership toward stable peace. Others have been the shortage of meat acd ther things con sumers want, controls over prices, the possibility of another coal strike. ' Republicans charge there is an alliance between the demo crats and communists, as well as between the democrats and the CIO-politicaV action committee. Democrats say they don't want and don't deserve communist backing. ' The GOP promises to cut expenses and lower taxes if it takes over congress. The democrats accuse the republicans of trying to sabotage what they call a constructive program begun by President Roosevelt and continued by President Truman. Democrats Fear 'House Divided' The republicans appeal to the people to put them in control to end corruption" in government. The democrats cry it would be bad to erect in congress "a house "divided against itself." - The outcome will be determined by an estimated 59,669.656 persons qualified to vote. Figures frfen state and political leaders indicate more than 35.000.000 actually will turn up at the palls. To break the democratic hold on congress, the republicans need a net gain of 10 senate and 26 house seats. Republican senate strength now stands at 39. The democrats have 56, progressives one. A majority is 49. Only 35 of the 96 senate seats are a .stake Tuesday, 24 of them now democratic, 10 republican and one progressive. In the house, the republicans now . have 192 members and need 218 for a numerical majority. The democrats have 235, minor parties two, and there are six vacancies previously filled by democrats. Estonians Jubilant As Visas Assured MIAMI. Fla., Nov. 2-p-With tears of gratitude trickling down their cheeks, and some even bend ing to kiss American soil, 48 hap py Estonian refugees , today re ceived the news that President Truman would allow them to re main in this country.

Warmer local temperatures were predicted by McNary field weath er station to follow Saturday's low temperature of 30 degrees. I Nations Blast U.N. Rejections LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y Nov. 2: (jp)- Despite strenuous efforts of Soviet Russia to block criticism of the United Nations security council, Egypt and Argentina to day led a small-nations attack on the council for rejecting the ap plications of Ireland, Portugal, Transjordan, Albania and Outer Mongolia for UN membership, j The sharpest attack came from Argentine Delegate Jose Arce, who protested particularly against use of the -veto on membership application and declared that if this procedure is to be followed "it is better if the other 46 nations simply folded up our papers and turned over to the five great pow ers the solution of our problems.'

Contested State Offices, Tax VleasuresTop Interest in Election By Weftdell Webb Managing Editor, Tn Statesman Four contested state offices and the nine proposed measures held the center of general interest to day in Oregon's election, but drawing additional attention in Marion county was the issue of a public utility district. Pros and cons of the PUD have toDDed the political debates in meetings of various organizations for several weeks, particularly in rural ' areas, and a considerable vote on the issue is anticipated at the polls from 8 am. to 8 pjn. Tuesday. The PUD will be voted on throughout Marion county, outside of Salem, with the exception of Breitenbush precinct and the east era part of Mehama. Under state law, however, no district will be formed in any part of the area unless there is an over-all ma- ority vote. Hish on the Marion county list of interesting issues, too, is that one calling for a tax raising $200,- 000 a year for three years to pro vide funds for a new counnouse. The evident need has reduced op position to a minimum. Statewide, apparently getting the most attention is the initiative petition for a 3 per cent gross in come tax for pensions. Proponents, who have been accused of using Oregon as a guinea-pig state since California's famed "ham and egg" measure was twice whipped, are denying ' the plan constitutes a pyramiding sales tax. Opponents are declaring passage of the meas ure would Jeopardize the entire state's economy and industry. Figuring even more keenly In debates in some quarters are the two school proposals, one to cre ate county-wide school districts sq that an areas would be assured of adequate - education and the other setting up a basic school support fund. The usual bit of mud-slinging has appeared in some of the races for offices, particularly in connec tion with Dave Epps democratic mmm Price, Sc No. 18S OPA Lid On 40 Of Costs WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-V Despite decontrol of thousands of Hems, OPA estimated tonight that price ceilings still cover products representing about 40 cents of the average dollar spent on the "cost of living." "We've dropped about half the controls from cost of living items since the wartime peak," Meyer Sherman, OPA economist, toid a reporter. He said the government price lids covered about 80 cents of the cwt of living dollar in June, 1943. The economist said the surviv ing ceilings and their relative im portance to the average consum er include: rent. 16 per cent; cloth ing, 11; house furnishings, 3; fuel. 2; food. 1: and miscellaneous items. 7.
