 LaFollette conceded the race to Mccarthy when the vote was in from 3,0l2 of the states 3,146 pre- cinctS. The count at that time was: Mccarthy 198, 492, LaFollette 191,- 453.
 The only chance of continuing the LaFollette political dynasty which has held major Wisconsin offices since the turn of the cen- tury, seemed to lie in the chance that Young Bob" might run as an independent in the November election. In his telegram conceding to Mccarthy, however, he did not mention that responsibility.
 LaFollette said he was disappoint- ed but that he had mo regrets or bitterness" He said he deeply appreciated the opportunity the people of Wisconsin had given him to serve in the U. s. Senate for 21 years.

SoysGreeks Deter Peace In BoIkans
 Throce Corridor
 To Aegean Sought
 By Ex-soteIlite

Paris, Aug. IA 14-(UP)-The So- viet bloc renewed: it's attack on Greece at the peace conference to- day, with Dmitri Manuilski of the Ukraine accusing the Greek gov- erAment of trying to stave of peace in the Balkans.
 Manuilski spoke in support of Bulgarian foreign minister Geor- giev Kulichevs appeal to the con- ference for an easier peace, reJec- tion of Greek territorial demands on Bulgaria, and a Bulgarian cor ridor across Grecian Thrace to ne Aegean.
 Yugoslavia and Bulgaria previ- ously had accused the Greeks of fomenting wars in the Balkans.
 Kulichev himself accused Greece Of aggre3sions against neighborlng states over a long period. He pre- sented Bulgaria's appeal against the pro-ad peace terms in the treaty draft prepared by the Big Four foreign ministers.
 Chairman James F. Byrnes an- nounced when Kuliachev had fin- 1S16Q UlldJ HOid1lQ anu Ullc Ohi diilC had asked permission to speak on the Bulgaria nstatement.
 The Soviet bloc's campaign against Greece appeared to be an extension of Russian pressure against the Greek government. The Russians claim 1t is puppet Of Great Britain. Greece is the only country Of eastern Europe in which the Soviets do not have a strong foothold.
 Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin of Britain was conferring today with Premier Constantin Tsaldaris of Greece. The Soviet attacks were certain to be discussed.
 Kulichev asked the peace confer ence today to award his defeated country co-belligerent status be- cause she helped the Allies in the final months of war.
 Bulgaria was the third of the five defeated countries to present it's case. Hungary was scheduled to appear in the afternoon session, and Finland probably tomorrow. Italy and Romania have spoken already.

Reds Block UN Entries

New York, Aug. 14 = (UP) Two more nations seeking admission to the United Nations were added to RuSsia'S blacklist today. The Soviet delegate on the Secur- ity Councils membership com mittee opposed the applications Of both Portugal and Siam at yester- days meeting, thus blocking tempo rarily their entry into the world or ganiZation.
 Russian representative Alexet N. Krasilnikov said his country disap- proved the applications of the two countries for the same reason it diSapproved of Trans-Jordan and Ireland, because the Soviet did not maintain diplomatic relations with them.
 Out of the nine countries which applied to the membership commit tee for admission to the LIN, only one, Afghanistan, has been approv- ed. All the others have been block ed temporarily either by Russia or her satellites or by the western powers.
 Of the nine applications which the membership committee has under consideration, Russia has registered opposition to four, Ire land, Trans-Jordan, Siam and Por- tugal, has been non-committal on two, Sweden and Iceland, and has approved one, Afghanistan.

Wages Hold Up Building

New Haven, Aug. 14-(UP)-The New Haven Building Trades Council reported today that work stoppages were occurring in increasing num- bers on construction projects in the area because of the refusal of the Wage Adjustment Board to recog- nize pay raises granted while the OPA was suspended. ~
 Carpenters, painters, brick-layers, hod-carriers, plumbers and laborers were said to be staging individual strikes against contractors.
 Council President Saul Kreas said that the stoppages were not author ized by the unions and that if they continued there would be a serious disruption in the booming building trades. He had no estimate of the number of workers engaged in the protest.
 The unions do not have any ar- gument with the contractors" Kraes said, in explaining the wildcat strikes.
 An early return to work by car penters was seen in an announce ment that contractors and the A. F L. Brotherhood of Carpenters had agreed to a plan that the contrac- tors set up special fund into which would be paid the $l a day increase recently granted union workers. This money would be held in escrow until pending another appeal to the WAB to sanction the raise.

Milwaukee, Aug. 14-CUP)-Sen. Robert M. LaFoilette, Jr., the last of the Fighting LaFollettes, went down to defeat today in primary election which perhaps ended one of Americas most colorful political epochs.
 LaFollette acknowledged that he had lost the Republican nomination for the U s. Senate to young judge and war veteran. With Young Bob's" concession, the La Toilette family seemed destined for an eclipse from the national po- litical scene for the first time in Al years.
 The nearly complete returns from yesterdays primary election today gave the COP. Senate nomination to Circuit Judge Joseph R.
