The continuing demonstrations coincided with the growing belief by diplomats here the Soviet Un ion would offer Arab countries all out military and economic aid and permit a "substantial" number of Soviet citizens to volunteer for Middle East- duty. Syrian President Shukrl Al Ku watly conferred here last week with government officials, Defense Minister Georgi Zhukov and other top generals. Observers said mili tary aid to Syria emerging from those talks presumably would be U.S. Cautions Russia Not to Harm Austria WASHINGTON Ml The United States said Tuesday it would con sider "a grave threat to the peace" any attempt to violate the territorial integrity and internal sovereignly ot neutral Austria, The State Department set forth this view in a statement denoune ing as "grossly false" a Soviet charge al the United Nations that persons sponsored by the United Slates and operating from Austria had supported the Hungarian anti Communist revolt.

The Russians reportedly advised Eden then that they too would not hesitate to act militarily in de fense of what they said was their vital national interest. The Egyptian appeal to the world for "volunteers and arms" to help in the fighting against Britain and France is believed here to contain the seeds of a new Korea. transshipped to Egypt to replace losses suffered thus far by Egypt. The diplomats were inclined to give a literal interpretation to Premier Nikolai Bulganin s words to British Prime Minister Anthony Eden Monday night that "we are fully determined to apply force to cru.sh the aggressors and restore peace in the East." The Soviet was expected to sup ply the Arab nations with enough arms to replace those destroyed in the Anglo-French ' bombings of Egypt, but observers doub(ed Rus sia would go so far as to partici pate in direct and unilateral mili tary action. , ' - They believed a "iiujre1iely form of Soviet involvement would be the flow of volunteers, arms, armaments and military advisers to the Arab countries. Observers were astonished at the stern language of Bulganin's messages to Eden and French Premier Guy Mollet, unprecedent ed in relations betweencountrios at peace with each other. The Soviet Premier requested Eden "to show the proper reason ableness and draw his own ap propriate conclusions."

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. If! U.N. Secretary General Dag Ham agreed to a cease-lire effective at 4 p.m. (PST). Britain and France made their acceptance conditional on the creation of a police force to move into the fighting zone and attain the objectives sought by Britain and France. These have been an nounced as separating the Israeli and Egyptian forces and securing the Suez Canal to free passage. Gives Assurance Hammarskjold announced he was able to give assurance on that point that the U.N. Middle East police force will be able to step into the area and take over the task of restoring calm. Britain said that one urgent task was to clear the canal of ' ob structions which had blocked it during the fighting. Britain said that the expeditionary force has the proper technicians with it and suggested these technicians could go to work, once the fighting had stopped, to clear the canal. Hammarskjold said that was agreeable pending later confirma tion by the General Assembly. Huddle on Need Threat As Hammarskjold made his an nouncement at a hastily called news conference, worried dele gates were consulting on the pos sible meaning of a Soviet threat to intervene in the area if the fighting continued. Earlier. Ham marskiold had announced .that six countries' had promised troops for the international police force to watch the cease-fire. Egypt Appeals For U.S. Arms Or Volunteers WASHINGTON UP Kgypt ap pealed lo the United States today for help "by volunteers, arms or otherwise" in resisting what it de scribed as dishonorable and brutal aggression. The formal appeal was contained n a note delivered by Egyptian Ambassador Ahmed Husein to Acting Secretary of State Herbert Hoover ,lr. The note said Ihe Egyptian peo ple "are fighting a battle or sur; vival and of honor." "They are fighting it not only for themselves and their country but equally for the civilized world" the note said. Hussein said he did not know whether a similar appeal had been . made In Russia or elsewhere, He also declined to give report- , ers Hoover's reaction lo his appeal. Hussein delivered two commu nications to Hoover, the formal appeal for help and a communica tion from Egypt to the effect that British and French bombardments of Egyptian cities is continuing and "casualties are very heavy." ,U.

(UP) Three young men who fled the Polk county jail here yesterday after noon were back in their cells to day after their capture in the Al bany area last night.

Police said Enfield was an es capee from the Washington slate penitentiary who was being held here. Wild Rumors Stir Commons LONDON un Corridors of Ihe i House of Commons became fertile ground for war rumors Tuesday,! and several were circulated as the I allernoon wore on. I One lacking confirmation o I , any kind was to the effect that a Soviet war fleet had been sighted steaming through the Mediterranean toward the embat tled Suez Canal area. Another also devoid of confir mation in any officinl quarter was that Turks have reported sighting strange war planes flying toward the canal zone. Noihlad Asks For Bridge at New Air Base it. S.

An all-time high vote was In prospect as the climax to one of the most bitter political cam paigns in recent Oregon history, The presidential contest, state men and measures and above all the Sen. Wayne Morse-Doug las McKay fight, brought out the voters. In Grants Pass, six precincts checked at 9:30 a. m. showed 17.1 per cent of the vote already cast, The weather was cool and the sky overcast.

' As poll opening time arrived, re- ports came in from precinct after . precinct of citizens standing in line to register their choice be-'-. tween four more years of Repub lican Dwlght D. Eisenhower or i switch to Democrat Adlal E. Stevenson, And almost without exception, ' as the day wore on, election offi- cials said the balloting was ex- -ceeding their expectations. . Meaning Hard lo Gauge The meaning of the heavy turn out was not easily gauged. Both major parties have contended , lhat a big vole would be favor able to their cause. Perhaps one ' reason was the ominous sound of guns in Egypt . and in Hungary, stirring Ameri cans emotionally, and, in the case of Hungary, dramatizing the prtv ilege ot free elections. Through the morning hours there were no reports ot disor-. ders anywhere. , - , . One prominent figure , in the first -wave of voters was former ; President Herbert Hoover who got his ballot about 7 a.m. In New York City. President Eisenhower cast his before noon. He and Mrs. Eisen hower drove from Washington to Gettysburg, Pa., to vote. The President flew back to Washing ton immediately for more confer ences on the foreign situation. No Clue In Early Counts As usual on election day, there were a few little precincts which i got in all of their ballots early . and proceeded to count them.. There was nothing striking out ' of the early birds. But Democrats could cheer that Stevenson car ried Hart's Location, a New Hampshire mountain community, 5-.1. Four years ago it went to Elsenhower 5-4. From scattering of New Hampshire boxes Ihe to tal vote was 2.1 for Eisenhower and S for Stevenson. Eisenhower got all IS votes in Pointe Aux. Barques, Mich., just as he swept it four years ago when 14 wero cast. In Kansas, where there is count ing before the polls close, a Leav-' enworlh precinct got 59 for Ei senhower and 3B for hlevensnn out of the first !7 casl. In 1952, this precinct went lo Eisenhower by 303-240. ' Debale Overshadowed The Impact of international de velopments seemed to be over shadowing to some extent the campaign arguments. , Republicans contended Eisen hower's attempts lo bring peace in Kgypt and Hungary initially unsuccessful though they were strengthened his position as one who could keep America from in volvement in war. Democrats said events had substantiated Stevenson's charges that Eisenhower and Secretary of Slate Dulles had "blundered'' and (Continued on Page S, Col, S) News in Brief Tuesday, Nov, 6, 1938 NATIONAL National Voting Above Exoectalions See. 1.
