WASHINGTON, Noy. t- (JP) -
With only one contest unsettled,
democrats are likely to have al
most exactly the-, same numerical
strength in the house of represen
tatives of the new congress that
they had in 1939;
A final tabulation of results
from 'Tuesday's election shows
that 263 democrats, 171 republi
cans and 1 American-Laborite will
comprise the new house when the
81st. congress meetr on January 3

cumbent ; republican, originally
was declared a winner, but an un
official recout gave the edge to
John C. Davies, democrat. If Ful
ler should emerge the victor in
the final, official count the republicans-would
have 172 seats and
the democrats 262.
In climbing back into ' control
of the House, the democrats picked
up 77 seats that were held in the
80th congress by; republicans and
one that', had belonged to an
American - La bo rite. They- lost
only two ! of their own, both in
California, to republicans, leav

The democrats needed a net
gain of only 31 to regain control.

The republicans had wanted to

Therefore they ran her husband,
with the understanding he would

Panamanian police used tear gas
bombs tonight to break up a mass
demonstration of welcome for Dr.
Arnulfo Arias as he returned from
self - imposed political exile.
Unconfirmed reports said shots
were fired during the melee. A
ipokesman at Santa Tomas hospi

brought to the dispensary there
but refused to say how many.
Arias, one - time president of
Panama and unsuccessful candi
date in the May presidential elec

and wasgreeted by thousands of
cheering followers. Less than an

Profit-Taking

CHICAGO, I Nov. -P-Grain
had to take a I good deal of week
end profit-taking today following
the firm recent markets. They did
it without showing any pro
nounced weakness, although clos
ing prices were not uniformly
higher.
Wheat added small fractions to
its upturn, making the fourth
straight day of advancing prices
for this grain following the elec
tion upset. July and September set
new seasonal highs. But corn was
mostly lower, only the lightly
traded September delivery gain
ing. '
Wheat closed higher, corn
was lower to 4 higher, oats
were ' lower to V higher, rye
was ll4 to 2 cents lower, soybeans
were i lower to 1 cent higher,
and lard was 27 to 47 cents a hun
dred pounds lower.
The market started' out strong,
commission houses being large
buyers. Around mid-way in the
session a sinking spell occurred
which pushed Just about every
thing below the previous close. In
the subsequent rally wheat and
soybeans showed the most
strength.
Both wheat and soybeans got
help from export business. Italy
took 1,008,000 bushels of the bread

The trade estimated France bought
anywhere from 400,000 to 600,

Declaration of
Human Rights
Taking Shape
.By Philip Clarke
i PARIS, Nov. 6 -V The first
world bill of human rights is slow
ly taking shape amid a war of
words.
Delegates of the 68 United Na
tions are hammering out a declar
ation spelling fundamental free
doms in strong, simple language.
The declaration tells the nations
of the world to give a little man
everywhere a decent life.
Depending on moral force alone,
it can become a boon or a bust.
The declaration may be "Amer
ica's greatest weapon of psycholo
gical warfare more important
even than possession of the atomic
bomb," says Dr. Charles Malik of
Lebanon, ambassador to Washing
ton and former Harvard professor.
Word-by-Word Battle
Malik, one of the declaration's
drafters, heads the general assem
bly's 58 - nation social committee.
The committee in more than a
month has approved less than half
the declaration's 28 articles. But
it still wages a word - by - word
battle to send the document to the
assembly for final approval this
year.
To speed their work, delegates
have imposed a 10 - minute time
limit on speeches.
The United Nations assembly
of 1948 may go down in History
fas the human rights assembly,"
Malik told this reporter. "It is the
only lasting thing the U. N. is do
ing." Russia May Sign
Malik says there is a good
chance Russia and her communist
satelites may vote in favor of the
declaration a rare event for the
United Nations. Despite a flood of
Soviet amendments, most of which
have been rejected, Russia has gi
ven its nod of approval to a ma
jority of the dozen articles thus
far approved.
Other delegates, grown pessimis
tic in more than two and a half
years of commission, council and
committee debates, gloomily see
the declaration as "only a piece
of paper."
Debates have consumed more
than 500 hours since Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's "nuclear" human
rights commission first began work
on "international declaration of
human rights." Nearly 200 meet
ings of commissions, councils and
committees have since been held
at Lake Success, Geneva and Paris

The Appliance Picture
There is no traditional-modern
feud in the appliance picture. The
demand is strictly for the modern.
Since the war there has been a
succession of sensational develop
ments that add up to a new and
emphatically Improved standard
of living.
Appliance engineers have seem
ingly worked toward one goal
that of making Mrs. Housewife a
"pampered darling" and a lady of
leisure.
Spectacular robots have entered
the scene. Gleaming GE automat
ic washers wash, rinse and damp
dry your clothes with no more ef
fort than the setting of a diaU the
new Conlon ironer saves two-
thirds of a . housewife's ironing
time and 80 per cent of the labor.
GE tumbler driers have eliminated
the clothesline and the necessity
of worrying about Oregon weather;
The Disposal! has ruled out the
garbage can. Electric ranges have
entered the push-button stage
and automatically turn themselves
off when the meal is properly
cooked. Home freezers have elim
inated the need of shopping every
day or two, and , time is saved by
preparing food in quantity months
in advance of the serving time.
With the advent of television next
year it toon won't even be neces
sary to so down to snop. me new
est gadgets and fashion wrinkles
will be' presented visually right in
your room via the video screen.
All you need to do then is order.
It is no wonder the modern
housewife is dazzled and the mo
dern husband confused trying to
figure out where all the money for
these luxurious necessities is com
ing from.
The doughboy's dreams of post
war homes during the hectic years
of 1943 through 1946 featured ap
pliances perhaps more than any
other household item. The marine
who washed his clothes in an up
turned helmet vowed he'd have
an automatic washer, or else, once
he returned to the States. The sol
dier who ate K-ration for weeks
on end found a shiny white GE
range taking up even more. foot
age in his daydreams than Betty
Grable,
What happened when these men
returned to civilian life. If he was
lucky enough to find a place to
live was it possible to furnish it
as be had dreamed? You know
the answer to that one. Oh, yes
the stores had floor samples and
pictures but actually new refriger
ators, ranges, toasters, etc., were
as unobtainable as te new cars
he'd been hearing about.
But let's take a quick glance at
the appliance picture today. That
picture has changed more tnan
quite considerable. A year or so
ago one miteo: irom appliance
tore to store to put his name on
a waiting list. Today we have ap
pliance salesmen flitting from
home to home in order to better
acquaint ope with the newer and
better modern gadgets. Today
your old worn-out pre-war equip
ment has a bargaining value un
heard of some months back BTI
(before trade-ins). j
There are stQ a few items that
require a short wait at times and
this is caused by an extremely
heavy demand taxing even today's
production ability. At Elfstrom's
