CINCINNATI, NOV. 7—WHY SENATOR, YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW?—U. S. Senator Robert A. Taft, seeking to retain his seat, grins wryly as he walks into his voting place in suburban Indian Hill—apparently unaware of the printing on a sample ballot given him as he was about to enter the little red schoolhouse that has been his voting place for many years.—(Associated Press Wire photo.) Heavy Vote In National Races Seen By The Associated Press Hot contests in the big population states brought out a heavy vote and pointed to a probable record. pileup of ballots today in the "off-year" Congressional elections. First reports from the voting in today's Congressional elections furnished no surprises—the Republicans were out in front in normal GOP territory and the Democrats led in areas they usually control. But the figures available in mid-afternoon, representing only a handful of an expected 40,000,000 or more ballot total, were too fragmentary to have any real meaning. They came from scattered precincts in only a few states. Long lines formed at polling places in Ohio where Senator Robert A. Taft—Mr. Republican to many—was battling Democrat Joe Ferguson for the Senate. The turnout of voters was heavy also in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and other key states. In 32 states, the voters were picking governors as well as helping to decide whether the DemoThird Term Query Tops State Ballot By MORRIE LANDSBERG SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A third term for Republican Governor Earl Warren or a new political career for Democrat James Roosevelt? A New Dealer (Democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas) or a foe of the present administration (Republican Richard M. Nixon) for the U.S. Senate? Perhaps 4,000,000 of the state's 5,244,000 voters will decide these key questions in the general election balloting today. At stake also will be party control of the 23 seats in Congress. Twelve are contested. Double nominations in the primaries assured six Republicans and five Democrats of re-election. Republians now hold a 12-11 edge. Selection of a new state attorney general heads the other races of state interest. It's between Democrat Edmund G. Brown, San Francisco's district attorney; and Republican Edward E. Shattuck, Pasadena attorney. Attorney General Fred N. Howser was defeated in June. Voters also picked 80 assemblymen an 21 senators. Re-election. LAKE SUCCESS (AP) — United Nations diplomats conferred a day on how to handle Geneva MacArthur's charges that communist China has sent her troops into Korea. They have only 24 hours to make one of the most significant decisions in the history of the world organization. The Security Council meets in emergency action tomorrow morning to consider the charges. There was the fear that World War III might erupt if they label the Chinese reds aggressors and authorize U.N. military action to combat them. Such a war seem inevitable if Russia supported it ally—the communist government in Peiping. On the other hand was the knowledge that the world looked to the U.N. to take a clear-cut stand opposing aggression. Diplomats, in the face of the alternatives, were puzzled. Two basic facts which could decisive sway their decisions were missing. 1. How deeply committed r China is to the Korean war. 2. What Moscow's attitude would be in case of a war involving the United Nations against communist China. They sought a resolution to present to the Security council, filling the U.N.'s anti-aggression aims and yet not leading directly to an irrevocable war commitment. Responsible diplomatic circles said last night that western diplomats currently favor a restatement of the U.N.'s order for all states to refrain from giving aid to the North Koreans, without mentioning China by name. Crack AP Election Team in Service NEW YORK (AP)—An army of 65,000 men and women will gather and report tonight's election results for the Associated Press. Months of planning have welded the AP's own staff, special election workers, and the staffs of member newspapers and radio stations into a single team to cover the nation's 115,000 polling places. They are tied together by 300,000 miles of leased wires that permit instant compiling and reporting of returns for the thousands of national, state and local races. The plan is based on the simple principle of gather-complete-report, but the job itself calls Supervisors Take Up Anaheim Oil Location Tomorrow County Supervisors at their meeting tomorrow will pass upon recommendations by the County Planning commission to grant variance land use permits for drilling of oil and gas wells in the South Anaheim district, on application of Patrick A. Doheny. Doheny's operations, if approved by the supervisors, will be along the south side of Ball rd., approximately 660 feet east of Harbor blvd. The Planning commission also recommended approval of an application by Dale Sellon for a store room for canned petroleum products on Spadra rd., 1560 feet south of Orangethroppe blvd., between Anaheim and Fullerton. Plane Trails Stir Angelenos LOS ANGELES (T)—What was it? It streamed trails of fire, two or three miles long. It came over the mountains behind Burbank at sunset. A meteor, maybe, or a guided missle? Police and newspaper switchboards were swamped with calls. But P. E. Roques, telescope handler and photographer at Griffith observatory, provided the answer. "It was a big plane," he said. "The sun had dropped below the horizon, but its rays were still coloring the sky a vivid red. The plane apparently was leaving vapor trails, and the vapor trails were reflecting the sunset. Beautiful, I remember wishing I had some color film for my camera." Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m., this afternoon was 73 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 50 degrees at 3:30 p.m., yesterday. Low was 51 at 7 a.m., today.

This development brought the governor speeding to her bedside from Oakland where he, Mrs. Warren, and their 22 year old daughter Virginia voted. The governor's office said Nina, a cheerleader at McClatchy high school here, first felt a headache and leg pains Sunday but it was not until today that the polio was diagnosed. The doctors held strong hope for her recovery because it is localized in her legs. Dr. June Harris, one of the physicians attending the case described it as a "moderately severe case of infantile paralysis."

Last night a man approached drug store clerk Betty Shannon, 28, wanted to see a fountain pen, then asked the price. "$19.75," replied Miss Shannon. “This is a holdup,” remarked the stranger. “Well, it might be,” replied the clerk, innocently, “but the pen is a fair trades product and sells for the same price everywhere.” Then she saw a gun, realized what was up and handed over the pen and $127. The man fled in a taxi cab to South Gate where he was overtaken by police. They booked him on suspicion of robbery and said they found on him the $127 and the pen. Records show, they said, that PRIESTS at St. Boniface church assure Blood Drive recruitment chairman Thompson that they will support the Red Cross effort which comes again to Anaheim Friday, October 17. They will also make special pleas to parish members to aid the drive. An appeal is made to all Anaheim churchmen to do the same. Father Thomas G.

Advances SEOUL (AP)—United Nations forces expanded their slim bridgehead north of the Chongchon river today as some communists mysteriously withdrew on the northwest Korean war front. Two U.S. 24th Division regiments and the British Commonwealth brigade moved ahead two and one - fourth miles after a heavy air bombing in the Pakchon area northwest of the bridgehead at Anju. There was little opposition on this front although red concentrations had applied heavy pressure as late as Monday. U.S. propeller-driven Mustang fighters routed speedier Russian-built jets in an 85-minute air battle — longest of the war — over Sinuiju just across the Yalu river from Manchuria. Three of the red jets were reported hit. Spokesmen said no U.S. planes were lost. In the north-central sector, Chinese red resistance eased suddenly in front of U.S. Marines driving through frigid mountain passes toward the Changjin reservoir. The Marines lead off Seventh regiment, virtually stalled four days by the stiff red Chinese defense, moved almost a mile up a twisting river gorge and seized a towering 4000 foot ridge. This was the dominating point south of the reservoir, 36 miles northwest of Hamhung. But communist resistance mounted in one northeast sector.

Frank E. Butterworth, chairman of the Department of Public Worship of the Anaheim Association of Christian Churches.

The high school orchestra and organ will provide musical background. A color guard from the high school Cadet Corps will present the colors. An anthem of Thanksgiving will be sung by the combined choirs of the Anaheim churches, under the direction of Gania Demaree. Various ministers will assist in conducting the service. The speaker of the day will be Rev. Robert Kevorkian of the Calvary Baptist church. High school usherettes will seat the audience. Civic leaders will read the President's proclamation. "In these days when Christian democracy is on trial before the world, we who live in America have more to be thankful for than ever," stated Rev.
