main out of service until some time
tomorrow, it was said.
Tomorrow will be cloudy again,

today by incomplete returns from
yesterdays National Constituent

A holiday atmosphere marked the
election, with gay crowds of peasants
singing and dancing in open spaces
near many of the polling places.
Voting was for an assembly of
two houses which will be charged
with drafting a new constitution.
In addition to the urns set ur
to receive the ballots for the candi-
dates of the National Front, an urn
bearing no name was provided foi
those who wished to vote but did
not wish to support one of the Tito
tickets. Several parties and groups
within the National Front put up
alternate tickets.
The voter was given a little ball
which he dropped in one of the
urns. To provide some secrecy fol
the ballot, the voter was required to
insert his hand in each urn as he
passed.
The urns bearing no names were
provided under late-hour amend
ment to the election law.

Replacement Of Krupp
By Son in War Trial
Asked by Jackson
Elder Armament Maker
Too III and Aged to
Appear, Prosecutor Says
By the Associated Press.

NUREMBERG, Nov. 12.-Justice
Robert H. Jackson, United States
prosecutor, requested the Inter-
national Military Tribunal today
to substitute Alfred Krupp, son
of Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach, as a defendant in the
war crimes trials.
Justice Jackson filed his motion
because the elder Krupp, head of
the huge German ornaments and
steel trust, is too i'll and aged to
appear for trial. Krupp recently
suffered paralytic stroke.
If Justice Jackson's motion is
granted, postponement of 10 days
to two weeks in the start of the trial
is almost certain. 1t had been
scheduled for November 40.
British Dissent in Motion.
The British prosecutor, Sir David
Maxwell-Fyfe, filed q dissenting
motion and declared that Great
Britain preferred to try the elder
Krupp, in absentia If necessary, be-
cause his name was household
word in the minds of the British
public, which was impatient and
would resent any postponement.
The Russians and French also
filed motions, but the nature of
their suggestions was not ascer-
tanned immediately.
Alfred Krupp is now interned by
the British army which occupies
most of the Krupp works.
Justice Jackson disclosed that he
had argued originally that the son
be indicted simultaneously with his
father, but that he was overruled
by a 3-to-1 vote with Great Britain,
France and Russia dissenting.
Will Make EVIL Choice"
Justice said that, If necessary, he
would make "the evil choice" of ac-
cepting criticism for delay because,
in his opinion, it would be unfortu-
nate not to have a member of the
Krupp family actually on the stand
in the trial.

to place more emphasis upon in
creasing workers bargaining power
than upon either the right of self
organization or the peaceful settle

the report stated, and its major goal
in recent years has been to win for

The decision to intrust disputed

Services we're being employed

The spokesman said the political
council would discuss "all issues,
indicating that administration of
liberated areas and reorganization
of the Nationalist Chinese Army
both formerly excluded from the
councils agenda-would be in

Technical questions connected
with army organization would be
left to a military subcommittee, he
said, but the, subcommittee would
not meet until the council had

halted the war.
He added that the government
