BOTH PARTIES PREDICT FINAL S-S IN SENATE
House Line-Up Depends on Third Division Finals
 and Absentee Count

With 143 precincts out of 233 in the Territory now reported Terri torial offices show these results for Territorial offices: Delegate, Bart lett CD. 11,694; Peterson (R), 4,372; Treasurer, Roden CD 12,572; Labor Commissioner, Benson (R) 8,616; Kimball (D), 6,753.
 Still in question until final re- turns from the Eskimo country ar rive are territorial Senate seats.
 As of now, Republicans have out of seats at stake in the Senatorial contest. Results are close among the four contests in the Second Di- vision, who now stand in this order, OLeary CD 582; Beltz CD 527; Ipalook (R) 513; Jones (R) 481.
 Both Howard Lyng, Democratic National Committeeman and hold over Senator and Albert White, Re- publican party general counsel, pre- dict that Ipalook and Beltz will be the final victors in the close con- test, though Lyng says O'Leary has a fighting chance.
 If these party spokesman are cor rect, the Senate next January will see the parties divided to 8. With out of 8 seats going to the Re- publicans in the present election and Republican holdovers the parties will be split down the middle in the Senate as they were in 1949.
 However, this depends on whether or not Ipalook can overtake OLeary. Democrat, now head man in Second Division Senate voting.
 House of Representative will probably end up IA Democrats to 10 Republicans, though Republican Gill is only 90 votes behind the low Democrat in the Third Division House contest, and Republicans are hopeful that he may come i'll sev- enth.
 First Division
 With all but eleven First Division precincts. in, and approximately 400 absentee ballots still to be counted, 48 precincts give these results:
 Senate: Nolan CD 3774; Eng strom (R) 3687; Peratrovich CD 3011.

WASHINGTON - Inside fact about the Presidents visit to Mac Arthur is that as early as last July he had hankering to go to Korea. At that time, the Secret Service went into a tantrum even at the thought of such a trip and is still worried at the idea of the Presidents meeting MacArthur in mid-Pacific.
 The plan of trip to the Pacific was revived approximately a week ago in talks between Truman and Ayerell Hartman, who had already been to see MacArthur to smooth out the Foromosa Embroglio. liar rima, advised the President that it d be an excellent idea for him vo talk to MacArthur person. ally and the President finally made his decision week ago last Friday.
 The decision was kept so secret, however, that at the Monday morn- ing hriefing which defense chle1s give the President every day, no word of the trip was mentioned. Only at the end of the meeting dld the President ask the staff to leave and General Bradley to remain be- hind.
 General" Truman said, i've been contemplating this trip for a few days. Do you see any reason why I shouldn't make it?"
 'sNo, would be one of the first to urge you to talk to Macarthur, Bradley replied.
 Bradley went back to the Penta- gon and suggested to his chief secretary Marshall, that he accom- nany the President on the Pacific trip. But Marshall said he was too new in his present job and not en- tirely familiar with the problems of the Pacific; therefore, that Brad lev had better accompany the Pre- sident.

 So. Koreans Advance
 In Korea, LIN. forces and South Koreans continued their advances against some stiff opposition north of the 38th parallel.
 There was a general drought of reports on the ground action fol- lowing the announcement yester- day that the US. First Cavalry Di- vision had captured Kumchon. on the southeastern approaches to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. Kumchon is TO air miles from Pyongyang
 Mai. Gen. Hobart R. Gay, com manding the First Cavalry, said spearheads had smashed eight miles north of Kumchon to Hanpo on the Reds main escape route. T.nu Uc rlncaI
 "The trap is closed" Gay said. 9They will not get out any tanks. guns or vehicles"
 An estimated 10000 North Ko- rean Communist troops were said to be caught in the steel clamp. and there seemed no question that the Korean war was in it's final stages.
 The American push toward Pyongyang. supported by United Nations air cover and followed by British and Australian troops, was at the west end of a broken-line front slanting northeastward 130 miles across the narrow waist of the Korean peninsula. On the other end was the South Korean First Corps. with columns pounding north along the coast from captured Won san toward the big chemical center of Hamhung and west to form an- other spearhead toward Pyongyang.
 British Commandos, in weird war paint and heavily armed, made two daring raids on North Korea's east coast only 65 miles from Siberia. The Commandos, going ashore in rubber boats from a US. destroyer, were reported to have destroyed two bridges and tunnel in light ming hit-and-run raids.
