national chairman, predicted that
Democrats will pick up two to
four seats in the Senate and
strengthen their control of the
House.
Refraining from specific last
minute forecasts, Guy G. Gabriel
son, the Republican national
chairman, stressed events in Ko-
rea.
Mr.. Gabrielson asserted in a
pre- election statement that a Re-
publican Congress is needed to
insure two-party government if
Chinese Communist intervention
in Korea leads to "a ghastly World
War III"
GabrielSon Stresses War Threat.
Declaring the voters are aware
that Chinese Communist divisions
are inf1icting heavy casualties on
American troops, Mr.. Gabrielson
asserted:
''They know that if we are on
the brink of a CHASTITY third world
war, their best interests call for a
Republican Congress that would
constitute, with the Democratic
President, a real, constructive
coalition government"
President Truman conceded in
his st. Louis speech that some
hard fighting may lie ahead in
Korea, but he said that American
troops already had won a tremen-
dous military victory there.
Mr.. Stassen, a possible 1852
COP presidential candidate, said
in a radio reply that American
casualties last week had been
higher than for any previous week
during the war.
Il solemnly charge that this is
the direct and terrible result of
five years of building up Chinese
Communist strength through the
blinded, bewildering Asiatic policy
under our present national adj
ministration," Mr.. Stassen said.
Truman Answers Mccarthy.
President Truman also criti-
cized those he said had ma
liciously and falsely made charges
of disloyalty against some Of oul
finest public servants" This was
obviously an answer to the Com
munists-in- Government charges
of Senator Mccarthy, Republican
of Wisconsin.
''It is our party-the Demo
cratic Party-that has done more
to defeat communism in thi.
country than any other group.
the President declared.
Mr.. Truman called the last l.
years of Democratic control O.
the White House "the creates
period of prosperity the world ha'
ever SEEN"
Representative Joseph w. Mar.
!, tin of Massachusetts,, House mi
nority leader, differed. He saie
