New York, Nov. 7-XU.R) To day's election determines which major party will organize the house of representatives and assume responsibility for vital tax and appropriations legisla tion daring the next two fateful years. Whether the war is cleaned up on both sides of the world in that time, or whether the next election will find the Pacific war still to be won, the new house is certain to face great and difficult decisions in those I ment, and liberal parties. The fields of legislation which it only can Initiate taxation and appropriations. '. G.O.P. Confident Republicans claim that when the votes are counted they will have won majority of house seats. They have contended all along that this year they had their . best chance since the Hoover administration of cap turing house control. Democrats dispute this claim.

STORE Pay1 Less and Dress Better Fort Jackson, S. C U.B At Fort Jackson's prisoner-of-war camp there is living proof that a goose-stepping nazl can adjust himself to something besides war. Newsmen, taken for a tour of the prisoner camp, glanced into the life of nazis as they live and work in their settlement be hind the traditional wire fence of war, and came away amazed at the ordinary characteristics of these so-called "supermen." There were P.W.'s and fences symbolic of war's grimness, but inside, qhocolate candy and cigarettes rested on PX shelves, Pin-ups of the "girl back home," a pipe or two, and snub-nosed shoes were scattered here and there in the barracks. Newsman Get Cake Nazi cooks in the war prisoner mess hall pridefully presented the newsmen with an ornately decorated four-layer cake and declined to tell the recipe a trade secret. It seemed strange eating nazi-baked cake and smiling at nazl cooks, while far away, nazis and Yanks were fighting, and in other prisoner- of-war camps overseas, Ameri can soldiers were dreaming of home.' But the prisoner cooks were good cooks, as the well-fed, healthy appearance of war inter nees vouched. War prisoners' schedules are planned in detail to keep them occupied. Church, school, work and recreation are all on the calendar. A war-prisoner lay-chaplain conducts religious services every ounaay, Detore a smootniy fin ished cross, constructed by some of the nazis. Educationally, war prisoners attend classes five days a week when interned instruc tors conduct classes. Subjects in clude English, stenography, me chanical drawing, German, his tory and geography. Soccer Favorite Sport Baseball is hot on the recrea tion roster. Instead, soccer leads as the favorite pastime, with fistball (something like the American volleyball) running a popular second. Indoors, men while away recreation hours, playing ping pong, card games and listening to radios. Noon found war prisoners sprawled over work tables, tak ing time out for lunch. Some glanced up sourly as reporters sauntered through the building, others fixed their eyes on their food. Outside, half-a-dozen pri soners, draped over a jeep, were lunching in the sun. Majority of the men work on government projects, nri directly connected with the war, Geneva interna tional rules taboo war prisoners working on war production jobs. Eight-hour work days are the maximum end men receive pay in canteen checks. Generally, the war prisoners were about average height, a few unusually short or uncommonly tall. Some were blond, some bru nette but on the whole they were just men nothing spectac ular nor out-of-the-ordinary. candidate'sues Hollywood, Nov. 7 (U.R) A $1,000,000 libel suit today charged the Los Angeles Exam iner with "maliciously" linking Hal Styles, 15th democratic congressional candidate, with the Ku Klux Klsn. Boy Scouts 'Asked To Aid Financing War Against Axis A new opportunity for the Boy Scouts of the Crater Lake Area Council to assist in financing the war has come through a request by Theodore R. Gamble, direc tor of the war financing staff of the treasury department to the local council office. Through this plan every one of the 1.- 760,000 members in the United States will have an opportunity to participate personally. In his letter Mr. Gamble expresses the hope that every unit throughout the nation will earn a Scout-at-War-MInute Man flag or banner. This will mean: 90 per cent of each troop's membership earning extra money for person al war bond and stamp invest ments in the Sixth War Loan; an equal number of members of Scouts' immediate families buy ing an extra bond in the Sixth War Loan; and pledges from both groups to buy bonds and stamps regularly each month at school, place of work, bank, etc., thereafter. This program Is to start with opening of the Sixth War Loan on November 20. It is not a part of the Sixth War Loan, how ever. It will continue in opera tion for the duration of the war. Tuesday. Nov.
