queenly welcome in New York

her maiden peacetime voyage to
open a new era of TRANSATLANTIC

Resplendent in her new dress OF

While a noisy little Army hell
copter hovered near the liner and
airplanes flew over her, two fire de-
partment boats escorted her to
Pier 90, where she docked at 1874
am. She carried 2,314 passengers,

Cotton Market Breaks

And Then Receivers
Former Spokesman Sends
Trumon Protest; Feors
$500, ,000, 900 Loss
BY the Associofed Press

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-The
cotton market, on which trading
was suspended for the Saturday
session to allow a big operator
to liquidate, broke $40 a bale
again today, then staged a re-
covery and appeared stabilizing.
A farmer spokesman protested,
meanwhile, that the price break
might mean a 100000, 900 loss to
growers.
All months went the limit of $40
a bale or 200 points below the previ-
GUS close in the first hour of today's
session, under a continuation of gen.
eral selling.
But in the second hour new buy
ing brought a recovery OF IS to
s7.70 a bail from the days lows
or $3.50 to $500 a bale below the
previous close.
Grower Wires Protest.
At that hour December sold at
1885 cents a pound, of SO points;
March 32.15, of 66 points; May
31.55, off 100 points; July $3.50, of
IS, and october 2790, of 46.
While brokers took stock of their
market dealings, N. C. Williamson,
cotton grower and veteran farm
leader of Lake Providence, La, wired
President Truman and Secretary OF
Agriculture Anderson to use emer-
gency war powers to protect farmers
from ruinous prices
Mr.. Williamson estimated that
weeks losses to the farmers under
the drop of about $25 bale would
amount to 5000. .o00, 900 to the South's
main cash crop, unless there is a
substantial price recovery. This was
based on an 5000, ,000-bale crop.
In his telegram, Mr.. Williamson
told the Washington officials:
Cotton is in a strong statistical
position, the 1916 crop is the short
est in so years, postwar domestic
consumption continues high and ex-
ports are increasing
Tone is Irregular.
Farmers should not be stam-
peded into dumping their cotton
on the market, which would further
demoralize it," Mr.. Williamson said.
At the start of the market here
today the tone was irregular with

Popular vandenberq
Leads Republican
Swing in Michigan
Prestige increased by
Stund for Firmness
In Soviet Dealings
By Gould Lincoln
Sfor SseH Correspondent
RApIns

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct
21.-Michigan is going all-out
Republican for Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg, her most distin-
guished political son. In Grand
Rapids, his home city, the pre-
diction is that he will defeat his
Democratic opponent, James H.
Lee, by about 250,00O votes.
There are several reasons for this
confident prediction. First, Senator
Vandenberg is highly regarded
throughout the State. The question
on many tongues in Michigan is:
will the Republican National Con-
vention nominate 'Vandenberg for
President in 1948?"
Second, the people of Michigan
generally-except perhaps in Wayne
County, which includes Detroit-are
greatly in the majority for the
COP. They, like others, are dis
gruntled and dissatisfied. They have
had their shortages of meats, soaps,
farm machinery and lot of other
things. They have had more than
their share of strikes, with plants
shut down, and employees as well
as employers losing money because
Of the work stoppages.
Won in Roosevelt Year.
Six years ago. when the late
President Roosevelt was running for
third term, Senator Vandenberg
led the Republican ticket and was
reelected by 10000 votes over his
Democratic opponent. This year
Mr.. Roosevelt is not on the ticket
This year, Senator Vandenberg
stands even higher in the estima-
ton of the Michigan voters than he
did in 1910. He has become leader
in the formation of American for
eign policy, even though he be-
longs to the minority party-and the
people of Michigan are. tremen-
dously interested in the foreign
policy of the United States. He has
become recognized, too, as one OF
the most constructive, if not the
most constructive, members of Con-
gress, Republican or Democratic.
More than ever before in this
country, the question of Communism
has become an issue this year. It
has been driven into the conscious
ness OF great mass of people large
ly by the truculent attitude which
Soviet Russia has taken at the Peace
Conference in Paris and at the
meetings of the United Nations in
London and New York.

Communists Gel
Sharp Rebuff in
Berlin Voting
Soviet-Bocked Party
Runs Third; Beaten
3 to z in Red Zone
By the Associated Pres,

BERLIN, Oct. 21.-Complete
returns showed today that Berlin
voters had sharply rebuffed the
Russian-sponsored Socialist
Unity (Communist) Party in city
and borough council elections
yesterday, beating it even in the
Soviet zone by nearly 8 to 2.
Final returns gave these results:
Social Democrats, 948,85l, or 48.8
per cent.
Christian Democratic Union, 49,
016, or 22.2 per cent.
Socialist Unity (Communists) /,
1888 ,269, or 1877 per cent.
Liberal Democrats, 181,875, or 9.3
per cent.
Approximately 83S per cent of
eligible voters balloted.
The Social Democrats led in all
four occupation sectors. They
trounced the Socialist Unity Com
munists in the American, British
and French zones and beat them
handily in the Russian sector, 309,-
1S1 10 Il4,5l4.
Surprised by Plurality.
The balloting was in all four Of
Berlin's occupation zones for parties,
and not for individual candidates.
City and borough councils will be Sc
lected on a proportional basis. The
new council will replace the city
government established last year by
the Russians when the Red Army
was the only military force present.
Social Democrat leaders said they
were surprised at the extent of their
plurality and that they had expected
to win only 40 per cent.
The Social Democrats stand for
socialization of industries. The Sec
ond ranking Christian Democrats
are staunch advocates of private
property rights. The Socialist Unity
party also espoused socialization of
industries, advocating wide expro-
priation OF properties belonging to
persons they call war criminals,
big Nazis and capitalists" means

u. S. Ohicials Pleased.
American and British military
government officials expressed salts
faction with the Berlin results. DR..
Ulrich E. Biel, chief Of the political
affairs section of the United States
Once Of Military Government for
Berlin, commented that This elec-
ton proves that the Berliners have
won freedom from fear; they voted
as they chose
American election experts pointed
out that the Communists polled 80
per cent of the vote In the last
previous free election In Berlin, In
1882, and won only 1913 per cent
yesterday.
Before the election, 1t. Col. Louis
CHASER, chief of the civil affairs
branch Of the American Military
Government here, said the issue
clearly lay between eastern and
western political philosophers.
Germany must ultimately make
a decision in this respect" he said.
The Berlin vote, establishing such
decision, will have great influence
upon the ultimate destiny of Ger
many and therefore upon the politi-
cal destiny of Europe"
