Both Parties
In Elections
' By the Associated rre
The meaning of - Tuesday's off
year election result was disputed
vigorously today by leaders" of the
two majof parties.
Democratic Chairman J. Howard
MqGrath called the results "grati
fying, but not unexpected.
"Carroll Reece. head of the Re
publican national committee, de
clared the outcome could mean
only that the voters are pleased
: with the record of the Republi
j can' dominated congress.
Some other analysts could find
little to indicate how the wjnd will
blow in 1948.
Election board tabulations
showed democrats regaining the
Kentucky governorship, a country
judge succeeding the late Theo--dore
6. Bilbo's Mississippi sen
ate seat, and three house races
ending according to form, with
republican candidates winning in
Indiana and Ohio and a demo-
crat in Brooklyn.
"'Results of the headline contests
included:
Democratic Congressman Earle
C. Clements defeated republican
Eldon S. . Dummit for - the Ken
tucky governorship, held the last
four years by Simeon Willis, re
publican. Willis was ineligible to
succeed himself.
John C Stennis outdistanced
four democratic and one republi

Seaplane Fast
into
White Elephant
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 - (JP) -Now
that Howard Hughes' huge
flying boat has floated and even
' flown a little th question arises
.what's to To done with it?
, And nobody in Washington will
admit having any definite ideas.
'Officially it's 4he Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporations air
plane. That agency put up the
government's $13,000,000 share of
the cost, to which . Hughes, Los
Angeles aircraft designer, says
he had added some $7,000,000 of
his own money.
;RFC officials acknowledge they
can't think up any use to which
the lending agency itself could
put; the ship the RFC financed
If for the War Production Board
as a wartime project with mili
tary uses in mind.
'But an RFC official said there
had been no word from the army,
navy or airforce that they did nor
did not want the plane. The RFC,
he said, can't move until it finds
Oufethe services' position.
Information officers of the
armed services said they didn't
know a thing about it
Officials of both RFC and the
War Assets Administration told
a reporter that if no government
agency wanii the flying boat the
normal, procedure would be ior
RFC to declare it surplus and
turn it over to WAA for disposal.

Ike's Brother
Wary of Jokes
On Candidac
TACOMA. Wash., Nov. S -(JP)-Brother
Edgar Eisenhower has
taken a vow of caution in his re
marks about General Ike (Dwlght
D.), even In jest.
The 58-year-old Tacoma attor
ney said in an Interview today
that he learned his lesson after
a recent meeting of army and in
dustry representatives at Fort
Lewis. , n
"Someone showed me a letter
from Washington with 'Eisenhow
er for President Club' printed Ion
it," he said, in explaining how his
OW 111
a ha-
little joke snowballed into
tional political rumor.
"So jokingly I said: We're go
ing to kill that guy's chances for
president right mow. -Well start
a club opposing him with myself
as president and Jim Stack j as
secretary." (Stack, now of Taco
ma, served as General Eisenhow
er's wartime aide). !
Either some of those present
misunderstood the legal member
of the Eisenhower family or for
got to laugh when they re-told
the story. A report that Eisen
hower would oppose any political
candidacy of his famous brother
seeped across-country.
' "A Washington, D. C, col
ist called me long distance Sun
day night," he continued. f He
wanted to know more about my
club and how I happened to be
against my own brother. Imagine
that Say. I'd like to spike me
thine before it gets serious.'
Asked what his real feeling is
about the talk of his brother as
a possible presidential candidate,
the attorney put his new vow in
to practice. That, he said, is a sub
ject for no comment.

Helen Rookard, young nousewiie
convicted of manslaughter in the
shooting of her husband at their
Creswell home, was sentenced to
10 years in the state priion and
fined $500 today by Circuit Judge
George T. Skipworth.

no emotion as she heard the sen
tence after Judge Skipworth re
viewed the facts of the case, and
emphasized his belief that she had
provoked the tragedy by entering
into illicit relations with another
man.

there had not been a fatal shooting
earlier than the night of August
17 when Walter Rookard, the hus
band, was shot after the couple
fought in their home. The couple
had been married before and di
vorced, then remarried.

Byrnes Asks
Soviet Return
Japan POWs
WINSTON-SALEM. N. C Nov.
S -4P)- Charging thtft Russia has
violated "a solemn pledge," James
Byrnes said tonight it is our
duty to demand that Marshal Sta
lin "immediately return" an esti
mated 828,000 Japanese prisoners.
"Our good faith is involved,"
declared the former secretary of
state, because we took the initia
tive in the Potsdam declaration
that promised Japanese troops a
safe return home to encourage
them to surrender.
Russia adhered to this .and is
bound by the pledge, but instead
of letting these prisoners of war
go home, "they took hundreds of
thousands of them to Russia. Ev
ery day the Soviets hold them as
prisoners, it is an inexcusable vi
olation of ' a solemn pledge," as
sarted Byrnes.
"We must let tha world know

that this violation is not condoned
by tha United States," he coun
seled in a speech before tha house
of bishops of the Protestant Epis
copal church.
But despite his criticism of Rus
sia, Byrnes emphasized that he
was still tn favor of a policy of
"patience" as well as firmness
toward that country. We must not
forget, he said, what the Russian
people have been through, and
we must not "lightly assume that
the soviet leaders, despite their
blustering, bad manners and ab
use, want war.

In Northwest
Said Threat
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-(P)-President
Truman's food saving
program to provide for large ship
ments of wheat to Europe Rep.
Horan (R-Wash) said today
threatens a wheat shortage in the
Pacific northwest until the next
crop is harvested.
"This will be true, particularly,
rf we ship more than 400.000.000
bus tela of wheat to Europe,"
sak.
He added in an interview that
ha had talked with the agricul
ture department about plans to get
farmers to sell their wheat this
year instead of holding it, but
many farmers do not wish to do
so because it would increase their
income-taxes. He said the agricul
ture department is studying a plan
under which income received from
wheat sold after a certain data'
this year can be reported as in
come next year.
