In Korea Fighting,
u. S. Pilots Report
By the Associated Press

UNITED STATES 5th AIR
FORCE HEADQUARTERS, Ko-
rea, Nov. GA United States Ali
Force spokesman said four Amer
lean pilots confirmed today they
were attacked by a Russian-made
jet fighter from a Manchurian
base.
The pilots said the Russian
built MIG-15 crossed the Yalu
River boundary over Antung and
attacked their formation over
North Korea. The MIG-15 is the
latest known model of Russian
jet fighter. It's performance is be-
lieved comparable to that of the
North American F-86 Sabre Jet
of the United States Air Force.
Antung is on the Manchurian
side of the river opposite Sinuiju,

Second Time 10 Hear
0ber Law Appeal
Rejects Plea by Stub
For Place on BoIIot as
Progressive Candidate
By Robert K. Welsh

The Supreme Court today re-
fused for the second time to grant
an immediate hearing on a case
involving the Ober law in Mary
land.
That law for control of subver-
sives is to be voted on at a refer
endum in the Maryland election
tomorrow. Louis Shub, who
sought to run as candidate for
Governor on the Progressive Party
ticket. was ruled off the ballot
by Maryland courts because he
refused to take the loyalty oath
required by the Ober law.
The Supreme Court two weeks
ago refused Mr.. Shub's plea that
it rule before election day on the
constitutionality of the law, and
order his name put on the ballot.
The high court at that time indi-
Gated it would not review the
mater until the Maryland Court
of Appeals handed down a writ
ten opinion explaining its earlier
decision against Mr.. Shub.
State Decision Left Standing.
The appeals court last Thurs
day handed down such an opin-
ion. Mr.. Shub Immediately asked
the Supreme Court to rule on his
petition, but the tribunal today

81 10 S on Basis Of
Korean War Reports
Big Blocks Are Tossed
On Market; Commodity
Futures Rise Swiftly
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-Wall
Street had a bad case OF war
nerves today as a result Of latest
news from Korea.
Stock quotations plunged and
major commodities for future
delivery shot ahead on the Ma
tons various exchanges.
Violent price swings reflected
sharp concern over possible roper
cussions Of Gen. MacArthur's
formal charge that Chinese Com
munist forces are fighting U. N.
troops in Korea.
The Stock Exchange was flooded
with sell orders. Prices cracked 81
to more than S. a share as jittery
traders tossed big blocks of stock
on the market.
The market value of all shares
listed on the exchange dropped
by nearly 81 billion.
Prices Flashed Directly.
The crush of business was so
heavy that the exchange resorted
to the unusual procedure of
flashing prices directly to the
ticker tape. Nearly, an hour
elapsed before trading slowed to
more orderly pace. Some issues
managed slight comeback.
Steels, motors, rubbers, rails
and radio-televisions were hardest
hit, among them United States
Steel, Bethlehem Steel, General
Motors, Chrysler, Goodrich, Good
year, Southern Pacific, New York
Central, Radio Corp. and Zenith.
The specter of another war
Swallowed commodity futures mar
kets in New York and Chicago.
Prices moved up swiftly as
traders considered the latest
threat to world supply lines.
Corporate bonds trailed stocks
downward. but United States
Governments were firm.
Grains Plunge Ahead.
In the Chicago grain pit wheat
gained more than 5 cents a bushel
at one time, corn cents, rye 8
cents and soybeans 10 cents.
Cotton at New York rose around
$3.50 a bale. Rubber scared the
daily limit of 2 cents a pound,
cocoa l cent a pound and sugar
y cent pound. The latter prices
also were the daily limits.
Coffee was an exception, with
contract futures in New York de-
Ginning from a few points to
nearly u cent a pound. Deem
Der deliveries on green coffee
ranged from 1870 cents pound
to 40 cents.

Big Turnout Expected
In Maryland, Virginia
With Good Weather
Contests in Both Stotes
Attracting Attention;
Many Posts OF Stake
By Alex R. Preston

With an election day forecast
of fair and warmer. prospects ap-
peared good for a large turnout
of voters in both Maryland and
Virginia tomorrow.
In Maryland, nearly 5O0,0 900 are
expected to ballot on hotly con-
tested races for Governor, Sena-
.or, the six members of the House
of Representatives and other
State and local Offices.
About 100000 Virginians will.
elect nine members of the House
although only five face contests
but local issues in the populous
metro politan area of Washington
are expected to bring voters out
in larger numbers than in other
sections of the Old Dominion
This will make the outcome OF
the 9Th district contest over
the House seat of Representative
Smith, Democrat, of Alexandria
all the more interesting.
Baltimore Polls Open at 6 AM.
Virginia polls will be open from
6 am, while those of Maryland,
for the most part, will open for
II hours beginning at 7 am.
Balloting begins in Baltimore,
with half of the States popula-
ton, at 6 am.
Main interest in the Free State
is the contest between Gov. Lane,
Democrat, seeking a second term,
and Theodore Roosevelt Nickel
din, former Mayor of Baltimore
who twice previously has sought
the Governors chair as the Re-
publican standard-bearer.
Interest also is heightened by
efforts of Senator Tydings, Demo-
crat, to come back for a fifth
consecutive term. His COP op-
ponent, John Marshall Butler
Baltimore lawyer. has conducted
a campaign of charges which, in
some respects, may reflect wheth-
er the voters believe the Senator
who headed a special subcommit-
tee investigation, "whitewashed'
the charges of Communists in the
State Department. These charges
were made principally by Senator

Workers Transferred
To Defense Jobs Face
New Loyalty Checks
Commission Publishes
Questions and Answers
For Federal Employees
BY Joseph Young

| Federal employees transferring tc
jobs in the defense or other Sc
curity agencies face an additional
loyalty investigation, the Civil
Service Commission disclosed
today.
The commission made this
known in the form of a series of
questions and answers regarding
new aspects of the Federal loyalty
program.
A number of Government EN-.
ployes, contemplating switching to
new Federal positions, had asked
the commission if they faced new
loyalty checks.
The commission declared that
if Federal employees transfer to
other Government jobs with non.
security requirements, they will
not face further loyalty check.
However, the commission de-
clared that if Federal employees
transfer to other Government jobs
with security requirements. "addi-
tional investigation may be
made" of the transferring en-
ployes.
Presently, nearly all defense
agency jobs and all security and
laW-enforcement positions are re-
garded as security positions. This
means that Federal employees
transferring to these assignments
would get further loyalty check,
even though they had been cleared
previously through the regular
Government loyalty program.
X X x x
APPOINTEES - Some of the
other questions and answers re-
leased by the commission in regard
to loyalty were:

ficials have estimated that some
AZ million votes may be cast. That
would be a record for a non-preSi-
dental year. Prospects were that
the weather would be favorable in
most sections of the country.
Taft Makes Charges.
Senator Taft of Ohio, known
widely as "Mr. Republican, was
the latest to add his voice to the
chorus on international issues
which President Truman stressed
with his Saturday night speech
in st. Louis and which Harold E.
Stassen promptly took up for the
Republicans.
Senator Taft charged in a tram
scribed radio speech broadcast by
seven Ohio stations yesterday that
President Truman had killed"
the bipartisan foreign policy
shortly after the 1913 presidential
election.
In his Single-shot campaign
speech at st. Louis, Mr.. Truman
had lashed out at those he called
the ''isolationists" in the Repub-
lican Party. He said that a G. OF
vote tomorrow would be one for
national suicide" in the face of
Communist world Imperialism.
In reply, Mr.. Stassen charged
the President and his political
friends with "coddling" Chinese
Communists, asserting that this
policy had forced young Ameri-
cans into bloody battle with the
Reds in the mountains of North
Korea.
Truman Is Optimistic.
The President. heavily guarded
after last weeks assassination at
tempt, had a last chance today
to, urge the voters to go to the
polls tomorrow.
Mr.. Truman goes today from
Kansas City to nearby Independ-
ence. Mo-, his home town, to dedi-
cate a Liberty bell. He will vote
in independence tomorrow and
then return to Washington.
The President maintained his
optimism that Democrats will
sweep to a large-scale victory in
tomorrow's congressional voting

Charles G.. Ross said Mr.. Tru-

The President also was talking
to Mrs. Truman and reporting on
the condition of her brother,
George Wallace, who was stricken
with a brain ailment yesterday
a short while after he had greeted
the President at Kansas City Air
port.
The political outlook is in sharp
contrast to that which prevailed
at the time of the last off-year

licans were shouting had enough"

this Frightening of the political
picture.
Is House Seats at Stake.
While Missouri tomorrow will
be voting on many local issues
and candidates, including 10
members of the House, the only
race getting any attention is that
for the Senate. Thomas c. Hen
nings, jr., former Democratic
member of the House from st.
Louis, is trying to unseat Repub-
lican Senator Donnell, who is
