Many Factors Will Prevail
BY CHARLES B. DEGGES


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Nov. 6-(UP)-Amer- icap voters tomorrow will elect s senators who can play major roles in determining the degree of United States participation in Q world se~ curity organization.
 Of major concern, also, particu~ 1arly for Republicans, but of priHn-s arily domestic significance, will bo the 31 state governorships at stake. Popular interest focuses on the presidential and vice presidential races, but the treaty-making (and thus, the peace-making) function of the upper house of Congress enc dows the senatorial election with virtual equality as an event of his torical importance. The Dumbarton Oaks plans are already being de- bated.
 Actually, 36 sen:.tor will be elect- ed, but one will be for a term ex- piring next January-that of the late Sen. Frederick Van Nuys, D. Ind.
 Mathematically possible, but pol- itically doubtful, is the chance that the Republican party might gain formal control of the Senate. Most political experts, however, look for 8 total Republican addition of five or, at best. Six-SeatS to the party's current 38.
 One Angae
 Depending on the outcome of the presidential campaign, Republican strength can be more than that, and for this reason peacemakers attach primary significance to election day. If President Roosevelt gets his fourth term, observers predict Re- publicans will have support on the greatest issues such as peace plans = from Roosevelt southern Democrats. But whether this support could be counted on in the event eg Dewey victory is not at an eaE-

Democratic vice president candidate Harry s. Truman and Republican vice presi- dential candidate John w. Bricker are back home in Missouri and Ohio, reSpec- lively, to cast their ballots. A comparative silence calms the hustings.
 On five continents and most of the worlds islands urgently interested persons are awaiting our election re- turns. And there doubtless are many individuals on the face of the globe who wouldn't know Kansas from Pennsylvania at this mo- ment, but who could come up accurately with the elec- toral vote of both.
 4nc 4OIc1Su CO1lScnouS Ao tAADt tAAAD United States election will have ter- rife impact on foreign affairs. It has been an angry, bitter contest. one of the most unkind in our recent history. It may easily be the closest election since 1916 when the votes of Eureka, Calf, had finally to be tallied before it was known whether Woodrow Wilson or Charles Evans Hughes had won that state and the election in which its votes were de- cisive. l
 Final returns this year will hH de- layed for weeks until the absentee armed Service vote l4as been cOu11bs ed. If the poll of civilian voters is close, the winner of this presideliftdI contest may not be known until the battlefield ballots have been check ed.
 Delayed Count
 Eleven states will delay the count of absentee armed service ballots. They are California, Colorado, Flor ida, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode

Boy Finds
 Buried Cash

Holyoke, Mass, Nov. 6-(UP)- Henry Martell, IA, had nest egg ot $50a today for his children in 1945" ard the man who was supposed to get what Henry got, and $500, had nothing but a Holyoke hole in the ground.
 Henry and his brother-in-law, Joseph E. Roy, 23, tuned in the ra- dio program, truth or consequences, Saturday night and heard the an- nounced tell studio guest Rudolph J. Wicket, Verona, N. J., that If he'd take train from New York to Hol- yoke, he'd find buried treasure $l ,OO0-in a vacant lot.
 The announcer cautioned Wicket to listen carefully to directions for reaching the vacant lot. In Holyoke, Roy and Martell and some 1,5OO other Holyokers bent their, ears to their radios. A few minute later the vacant lot at Prospect and Wal nut streets was jammed with pros- pectors armed with spoons, skilletS and one ful-size bulldozer.
 While Wicket was en route, the Holyoke treasure hunters d u g straight for China. Roy and Mar tell, using shovels. struck the bon- anza-$1 ,0O0 in silver dollars. They wrapped the cartwheels in handker- chiefs while the luckleSs diggers- some of them clad in pajamas- looked on in disgust.
 Roy declared that his share of the treasure "sure would come in handy" His wife is expecting their second child.
 Martell piped up to say that his share was headed for the bank, for ''my children in 1854"
 - Wicket, stymied by the law that says buried treasure is finders keepers" got a hole in the ground as 8 consequence.

B-29 Blows

 Of New Drive

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Nov. 6 - (U.P) - American B-29 Superfortresses which blasted the big Japanese na- val base at Singapore yesterday were believed today to have struck a ma jor blow in preparation for an Allied amphibious landing in southeast Asia.
 Dispatches from Southeast Asia headquarters at Randy, Ceylon have been limiting broadly that, with the monsoon ended, Supreme Com manderd Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten soon will send an m- vasion army ashore somewhere in Burma or Malaya, possibly in the Rangoon area.
 Any Japanese counter-meaSureS particularly against the Allied inva- sion fleet, would be based on Singa- pore. The Superfortresses scored di- rect hits on control house in the largest dry dock at Singapore and also bomber other vital points, Two bombs also hit a Japanese ship in the dry dock for repairs.
 But the Singapore raid-longest daylight mission ever flown by mili- tary planes-waS only one of a mounting series of Allied air at- tackS on Japan's far-flung empire.
 1.-SuperfortresseS also raided the Pangkalan-Brandon oil refinery al the northern end of Sumatra in the Western Dutch East Indies.
 2.-Heavy bombers of the Easterr Air Command raided the railroad area of Rangoon, main supply huk for all Burma, in 8 follow-up to 6 superfortress attack on the same area Friday.
 3.-Allied planes bombed an air. drome and shipyard at Vinh, on the gulf of Tongking, French Indo- China.
 4. Japanese broadcastS said "sev- eral' superfortresses for Saipan in the Marianas made reconnaissance flights over the east coast of Hon. shu, including the Tokyo area, yes terday and warned that next time
