Reds Will Quit U. n. :
By Eddy Gilmore
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent

Associuted Press Foreign Correspondent ;
MOSCOW, Oct. l1.-Pravda, the
Communist Party newspaper, de-
scribed today as fantastic reports
that the Soviet Union might walk
out of the United Nations and cut
relations with the world organiza-
tion e.
The newspaper said, such reports
came from in the United StatesA and
that British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin was one of those primary res
sponsible for them.
The Soviet press carried today
the first mention of President Tru-
mans plan, later abandoned TO
send Chief Justice Vinson to Mes
COW. The Tass news agency account
said the President decided on this
when he became dissatisfied with
the situation in connection with
the so-called Berlin question:
(Secretary of State Marshall
told a news conference In Wash
ington Saturday MI. Trunian's
specific interest in proposing TO
send Justice Vinson was inthe
atomic problem, plus a general
concern over world peace
The news agency's dispatch, prom
inently displayed by Pravda, said
American political circles connected
Secretary Marshall's trip home from
Paris with differences between him
and the President, but added:
However, Marshall. in fear Of
weakening his own position in Paris,
recommended to Truman over the
teletype that he renounce his deci-
sion ito send Vinson to Moscow
Truman has agreed to this

Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa
Appear Safely in Dewey Column

Wilson. The incumbent. a former
Governor, Is opposed by former
Senator Guy Gillette, who Is per-
sonally popular and who has many
Republican friends.
Mr.. Gillette, while he was in the
Senate broke on number of occas-
ions with the New Deal adminiStra-
ton. Particularly did he arouse the
ire of President Roosevelt when he
took part In ditching the Presidents
Supreme Court packing bill. The
late Harry Hopkins and others in
the Roosevelt administration tried
to purge" him in primary race,
but failed. II
II the Dewey vote Is large in
iowa, Senator Wilson may ride along
to victory on the Dewey coat tails.
This Iowa Senate seat is one the
Democrats have counted on taking
in their effort to regain control of
the upper house of Congress. Sem
ator Wilson is not too popular, and
in addition. he has leaned toward
the old isolationist stand in inter-
national affairs. .
The Des Moines Register and
Tribune's Statewide poll. just pub
lished, shows Gov. Dewey with 4S
per cent Of the straw votes, Presi-
dent Truman with 80 per cent,
Henry A. Wallace with 2 per cent
and 18 per cent undecided.
The pollers asked the ''undecided'
voters whether they were leaning
toward any of the presidential can
didates. Taking into account the
leaning" votes then registered, the
following division resulted: Gov.
Dewey, "a per cent; President Tru-
man. 38 per cent; Mr.. Wallace, 3
per cent, and per cent still in the
undecided list.
Hasn't Lost Ground.
Four years ago Gov. Dewey car
ried Iowa with a lead of approx
mately $4,000 over President Rocse-
welt. 1t does not appear that Gov.
Dewey has lost ground in Iowa since
then, and he may turn up with an
even larger margin of victory on
November 2.
Iowa Is Henry Wallace's home
State-or was until he changed his
residence to New York. He never,
however. had any particular politi-
cal influence in Iowa. Mr.. Wallace
was placed on the Democratic ma
tional ticket with Mr.. Roosevelt in
1910 in the hope that he would help
the Democrats carry Iowa and other
farm States of the West. Mr.. Wal
lace had been Secretary of Agricul-
ture for eight years at the time.
Mr.. Wallace's lack of appeal to
Iowa voters turns up again this
year, as the poll indicates he will
get no more than or 3 per cent of
the votes cast for President.
President Truman and Senator
Barkley of Kentucky. his running
mate. invading these Midwest
States, have sought to convince the
farmers that if a Republican is
elected President times will again
be hard for them. These scare"
tactics do not seem to have borne
fruit. The farmers are prosperous
and under such conditions have
voted Republican. The days of the
big depression are farther away to-
day than they were when Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska all went for
the late Wendell L. Willkie for
President In 1910.

assignments at second and third
bases, respectively. Hen Holland
Ray Sparklin and the veteran
Chuck Wright are the chief con-
tenders for the fourth infield berth
with Holland as the likely starter
at shortstop this Sunday. Joe (Bo)
Lank, outstanding infielder with
the present Milford High team, will
join the team upon completion of
the scholastic season and is ex-
peeted to make a strong bid for an
infield berth.
Roy Mccullough, who led the
Sussex League in batting while
with Ellendale last summer, has
virtually cinched the call at the
centerfield position, and Emerson
Meredith, outstanding guard with
the Vets basketball teams of the
past two winters and former out
fielder with independent teams of

days league opener, which will get
underway at 1880 D. m, will be
played in Sthe newly constructed
Millsboro park, which is the only
enclosed park owned outright by
a Sussex League team; other
league teams are using high school
and Eastern Shore League parks
as the sites of their home games.
Up to this writing, the Sussex
League schedule has not been COM
pleted due largely to the fact that
there is a good possibility that
Harrington will enter the circuit,
rounding it out to eight teams. At
present the league includes FIVE
holdovers from last Season, Mil

and Georgetown, and two newcom-
ers, Hickman and Milford. In all
probability, the Vets will open

clared that any Democratic victory

SCIENCE: Celestial Ears

For centuries astronomers have
used mechanical eyes-telescopes-to
see through some of the mysteries of
space. Now they have developed me-
chanical "ears."
What they hear has been called
celestial music" the harmony of the
spheres" Actually the sounds are ra-
dio waves coming to earth from all
directions of the universe. These
sounds are picked up by radar-type
receivers, one of which-at the Naval
Research Laboratory at Anacosta.

The receiver uses an electricallv-

(frOm less than one inch long to

SPORTS: DoubIe-Hero Bearden

Rookie Gene Bearden came to the
Cleveland Indians this year already
a hero. He had been thrown into the
sea in l94S when torpedo hit his
cruiser, the Helena, in the Pacific.
For five days he had foated on a raft
awaiting rescue. With a steel plate in
his head and another in his knee, he
had fought his way back into base
ball and up to the major leagues.
This week the z8-year old lefty
established himself as a hero of a
different sort. When the Indians were
forced into an unprecedented playoff
game with the Boston Red Sox to de-
eide which team would represent the
American League in the World Series.
Manager Lou Boudreau chose Bear
den to do the pitching. On only one
days rest, Bearden won his game
with brilliant fve-hitter. In the
third game Of the series with the
Boston Braves, with the teams tied
with one victory apiece, Bearden
hurled again. He was even more i'm
pressive, winning 20. In the eighth

the exact sources of the radio signals
that come through space. It is be-
lieved that perhaps 40 per cent of
the signals are sent out by sunspots.
Faint signals have been detected
from the moon (including the side
always obscured from the earth) and
from the dUst-clouded center of the
Milky Way. Other signals are more
puzzling. They come from parts of
space that always seemed empty.
The astronomers "ears" were de-
veloped as the result of a discovery
by British wartime radar experts
who noted mysterious interference
with radio waves used to point anti
aircraft guns. A kissing noise lasted
all day but stopped at night. Finally
the source was traced to the sun.
With radio receivers growing more
and more sensitive, scientists decided
to intensity their studies. Now radio

dition to England and the us.

Their crops are better. This year
Europe will produce a million tons of

before the war. They are gradually
lessening barriers to goods, services
