Disqualification
 Ministers Quit

STUTTGART, Germany. (P)- The denazification ministers of all three states in the American oc- cupation zone of Germany have rendered their resignations as a result of sharp criticism by It. Gen. Lucius D. Clay of the work of German denazification courts. German governmental officials said tonight.
 Their resignationS have not yet been accepted by the German minister-presidents, these officials said.
 Clay, Deputy military governor of the American zone, charged yesterday that German denazifi- cation courts were "WhiteWash- ing'' Nazis and told the German council of states that the military government would take back con- trol of the denazifiCation program unless the Germans showed inn provement within so days.

Russian General Says Peace Will Prevail
tBY Ed Creagh)

LONDON, (P)-Col. Gen. A. A. Zhdanov, often mentioned as a likely successor to Prime Minister Stalin, declared today in Moscow that Russia's will for peace would prevail despite opposition of "atom blackmailers in the United States and Great Briatin.
 ''The blood of our peoples was not shed for imperialist expan- Sionists and pretenders to world domination-for atom blackmail- ers,' he told a meeting of Russian leaders. He spoke in place of Sta lin who for unannounced reasons did not attend, in observation of the 29th anniversary of the BOl- shevik revolution which falls to- morrow.
 Zhdanov, chairman of the Su- preme Soviet of the U.S.S.R. and famous as the defender of Lenin- grad, asserted that both the United States and Britain had organized obstruction" at the Paris peace conference to the Russian program of making the United Nations work-unlike the miserable league of nations"
 His speech was broadcast to Russia and reached the outside world.

Republican for major office. John Carroll, Denver Democrat, beat Rep. Dean M. Gillespie, incumbent Republican, in the first district congress race there. Democrat William Lee Knous defeated Re publican Leon E. Lavington for governor.
 In sweep that left only Rhode Island, and possibly Maryland and West Virginia, as Democratic is lands, in the east, Pennsylvania laid claim to being the banner COP state.
 There the Republicans won nine House seats previously held by the Democrats, in addition to retain ing all of the places they had held. The state gave Gov. Edward Mar tin, Republican, a margin over Senator Joseph Guffey, new deal WheelhorSe, of more than 600,000 for the senate seat the Democrat had held since 1885.
 COP leaders joyously counted the House theirs. They said they had little doubt that the Senate also would fall, giving them com pelte control of the nations legis- lative machinery.
 Democratic. national chairman Robert E. Hannegan glumly left his party's headquarters early in the morning without comment But speaker Sam Rayburn O. TexD said in Bonham, Tex, he re- called it looked like the Democrats had lost the House in 1922 "but the next day we pulled ahead 24 seats"
 Rep. Joseph Martin MassD, in line to become speaker of a Re publican House, said his party ac- cepts "the responsibility the American people by their mandate have placed in our hands"

10 SHIPS RELEASE ED
Strike Within A Strike Holds Up Alaska Relief Ships

VT IOIn ule NONcIIOI otllCcJ
 JUNEAU-As the people of Alaska know I have been trying for several weeks to secure the re lease from Seattle of ships which would give some relief to the in creasingly difficult situation in which Alaskans find themselves owing to the differences existing between the steamship operators and unions on the Pacific Coast of the United States.
 These differences have, as we all know, caused intermittent and increasingly prolonged tie-u D s which through the sumE1cc have pretty well wrecked Alaska s econ omy, have caused great financial damage to practically every busi- ness enterprise, have retarded housing and all other construction, have greatly increased the cost of living to every Alaskan household and have in short set back the progress of the Territory incal- culably.
 Two weeks ago l sent my aide, Lieutenant Commander Chester to Seattle so that he could be on the ground and do everything possible to secure the release of ships He has succeeded in getting a number of small vessels for Southeastern which for that portion of our Ter ritory are relieving the situation somewhat insofar as actual neceS- Sities are concerned, although the future is still extremely uncertain since even these ships are not bringing sufficient hay and feed for our dairieS.
 However the committee for maritime unity, representing the various unions involved, will per init only small ships not connected with the regularly operating steamship lines to Alaska.
 As far as the westward is con- cerned the situation has been growing increasingly serious since the small ships cannot easily cross the Gulf of Alaska and Comman- der Chester has been trying to get at least one big relief ship releas- ed. These negotiations, repeatedly delayed, have now begged down over what must seem to Alaskans a wholly trivial and unnecessary dispute while the entire people of the Territory continue to suffer. Even the small ships released are wholly inadequate to Southeastern Alaska's needs.
 Likewise the committee is per mitting no building materials and many other essentials to be ship ped. To sum up the situation as it apepars to be, Alaska is being used as a hostage between two contending groups over series Of long standing differences and dis

A laundering tide of votes coursed through New England, Tapped at the borders of Dixie and Surged on to the West Coast.
 With 399 House races decided, the COP. had PA seats clinched and the Democrats 175. A major ity. is 218. Eleven of the 35 dis trids where election counting was inconclusiVe are represented by Republicans in the present Con- gress.
 The party was assured of 5l of 96 Senate seats. Democrats had won 42 seats and their candidates led in Maryland, West Virginia, and New Mexico, the three states Where Senate races were not set tied.
 Ip the face of the overwhelming upsdrge of Republican strength, Senator J. William Fulbright, Ar kansas Democrat, suggested that his party turn over the White House to the COP. to avoid the confusion that followed the first world war and the 1930-32 dead lock in Washington.
 Fulbright said this could be done if President Truman appoint eoea Republican secretary of State and then resigned.
 Ut probably would be the wis est thing for the President to do," Fulbright added in an interview in Philadelphia.
 There was no comment in high Washington quarters on this idea. No top official appeared to con- slider it seriously.
 The Republican landslide over tukped the Democrats for the first time in Is years.
 In 34 governorship races, the Republicans had elected l9. They took over two formerly held by the Democrats in Massachusetts and Ohio, but yielded one to the Democrats in Colorado. The Dem ocrats had elected eight.
