New York, Nov 8. (AP)-Repub-
licans who stayed up all night at
national headquarters to celebrate
looked at dawn today like haggard
brides left waiting at the church.
1t was so quiet around the Hotel
Roosevelt that you could hear poll
takers chin drop.
But if there was a poll-taker in
the place he wisely kept his mouth
shut. There were no Republican
chins any longer able even to fall
open They had all done that hours
before.
1t was a scene of political carnage
over which spread the frightening
shadow cast by the little man from
Missouri. Harry S. Truman, stub
bornly riding out threats of Re-
publican landslide, had lived up to
the tough motto of his state-"You
got to show me-"
Win, lose or draw, he had-almost
mouthed-smashed Republican
hopes of gaining control of both con-
gress and the presidency.
The tidal flood of Democratic
votes completely ruined the grand
old party's brand new victory party.
Sound of Revelry"
1t was a Manhattan version of the
eve before Waterloo.
Some 800 happy party workers
crowded into the Gold ballroom of
the hotel, confident they would see
a Democratic debacle.
A score OF more television and
newsreel cameras were trained on
the flag-draped balcony, where Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey was expected to
deliver his victory speech before mid
night. Rumor said his aides had
composed the speech two days ago.
The crowd stirred uneasily as
early returns showed Truman ahead.
But they cheered when Campaign
Manager Herbert Brownell, grinning
widely, stepped out on the gallery
and minimized the figures = again
predicting victory. 1t was the last
grin of the evening.
Some Republicans left then, sure
Dewey had won. But they were
probably the only ones who got a
good nights rest.
Alarm Deepens
For after midnight deepening
alarm swept the gaily-bannered
room. The faces of the crowd were
a slow-motion study of confidence
changing from surprise to doubt,
from doubt to disbelief-and then
on to stunned fear and panic.

them formed that context. Both
Roosevelt and Hopkins felt they had
begun the peace well. They sus-
pected the men of the Kremlin, but
their big fear was that Stain might
die before the agreements had been
finished, and the less reliable men of
the Kremlin would take over. In
stead it was Roosevelt who died, and
the lesser men took over in America.

Polar Bear Costs S5,OOO Per Ton
 Says Bank Exec.
By Ben Funk

DENVER, - tH) Shooting 2,OOO-pound Alaskan bear is a tremendous thrill, two Colorado sportsmen testified today, but don't get any ideas about trying it yourself, dear reader.
 Don't that is, unless yo're in the higher income tax brackets and can stand lots of excitement. For it will cost you plenty of money and maybe your life.
 You can shoot bears right here in the Rocky Mountain region-if you're satisfied with a measly an- imal of 400 or 600 pounds. You might even bag a grizzly weighing up to 1000 pounds.
 But the lifetime ambition of Kenneth King, Denver banker, and Herb Hollister, a Boulder, Colo, radio executive and businessman, was to get a crack at the really big boys of the Alaska regions. They satisfied that desire re- cently-and sacrificed big chunks of their bankrolls.
 King returned from Alaska with the hide of a one-ton polar bear. The trip cost him slightly less than $5,000," he reported rue fully, and he had two brushes with death near the Arctic Circle. Hollister came back from the far north with a 2,OO0-pound Ko- diak bear, the biggest carnivorous animal in the world.
 It was a splendid trophy but Hollister said sadly that he was out about $3,OOO and he'll be nicked another grand by the taxidermist who is mounting the specimen. Kings first narrow escape Oc- cured north of Point Barrow, when a plane he had chartered was closed in by fog. His eskimo pilot managed to get the plane down on an icepack after finding a hole in the fog blanket just be- fore he ran out of gas. They were rescued after 12 hours on the ice. Later, near Anchorage, King got a shot at a Kodiak bear. The animal was hit in the neck just as it dived into a channel. The current carried it down stream and King and his pilot attempted to take off and fly downstream to retrieve the trophy.
 The plane struck a sand bar, sideswiped a tree about 20 feet off the ground and crashed up- side down. "Only our safety belts saved us," King recalls.
 The banker shot his polar bear while hunting with a party of Eskimos.

interest rates.
According to the Institute Of Life
Insurance. the net earning rate on

net earning rate. - measured by
1o4l experience was 3.4l per cent.

One effect Of that shrinkage was to
reduce the amount paid Is . tax to

ance companies to $2S, ,000. 900 this

The decline In interest rates, which
has replaced high-yielding insurance
