America 10 Vote
In Air Of Crisis
81 Million Expected
At Polls Tomorrow
BY The Associated Press

An America newly concerned
with bloodshed in Hungary ano
shooting in the Middle East will
choose tomorrow a President to
guide the Nations affairs for the
next four years.
An estimated 81 million OF
more voters will decide whether
ito continue Republican Dwight
D. Eisenhower in the White
House or replace him with Demo-
Icrat Adlai E. Stevenson.
They will decide, too, which
party shall control Congress in
the next two years.
Such signposts as the public
Icpinion polls and the pulse-tak-
ing of political reporters and
commentators point almost
unanimously to Mr.. Eisenhower'S
reelection.
The same signs point to a close
battle for control of Congress,
now held by the Democrats.
IS Senators to Be Named
Thtrty-five Senators will be
elected from SO States. All but
three of the 435 seats in the
United States House of Repre-
ISentatives will be filed. Maine
elected two Republicans and one
Democrat on September 10.
Voters in 20 States will elect
Governors.

llitical leaders, reporters anC
others by the Associated Pres
indicated that if these observer;

(The Egyptian delegation to
the United Nations denied Port

No surrender
If the developments announced
in Commons are true they meant
the situation of Egyptian Presi-
dent Nasser was becoming more
precarious by the hour. Last
week the Egyptians lost their
vast Sinai Peninsula, east of the
canal, to invading Israeli forces.
Purpose Of Invasion
The announced purpose Of the
British French invasion is to
safeguard the canal--now closed
to shipping-and to separate the
behigerents in the Israeli-Egyp-
ltian fighting. The British say
they are willing to turn over con-
troll of the canal area to u. N.
forces, once the situation is sta
bilized.
The parachute troops landed
in the canal zone only 4 months
and % days after the British
surrendered to Egypt the mill
tary bases they long had occu-
pied there. In the meantime. on
July rs, President Nasser ma.
Itionalized the Suez Canal.
The invasion came shortly
after the U. N. General ASSEM-
bly,, seeking to restore peace In
both Hungary and the Middle
East, ordered an international
police command set up to estab.
fish and supervise a cease-fire
in Egypt.
The British and French gov
|ernments had gone ahead with
their long-heralded invasion. but
said they would welcome the
.U.N. police force as a shield be-
tween warning Egypt and Israel
as soon as the two Middle East
governments accepted u. N. pro-
posals for peace, ard there was
"a settlement of the Suez ques-
ton.

chutists started landing lust

sea on a large armada sailing
from Cyprus.
The command at Cyprus said
the operations went according to
plan, with the troops landing on
time and at the right places.
Some resistance from mortar
and machinegun fire was met.
The first Egyptian announce
ments claimed the first wave Of
5000 paratroopers was anni-
hilated by soldier, police and ci-
villain fighters and that a second

The President was keeping

yesterday directing the United
States effort to bring United Ma
tons moral pressure on the
Soviet Union to stop its brutal
assault of Hungary and on Bril-
tain. France, Israel and Egypt to
stop the fighting in the Mi le
East.
The President dispatched an
urgent personal appeal to Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin asking
withdrawal of Soviet troops from
Hungary and self determination
for the Hungarians.
Gist of Appeal
Mr.. Eisenhower did not dis
close the text of his appeal. but
issued statement yesterday re-
porting its general content:
II feel that world opinion
which was so uplifted only a few
days ago by the news that the
Soviet Union intended to WITH

Premier Nikolai Bulganin
addressed the proposal to Presi-

letter which was broadcast by
Moscow radio.

Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri

called for a meeting of the U. N.

immediate measures to elgelp
Egypt. He said Russia was ready
to send military aid to Egypt.
Mr.. Bulganin told the Presi-
dent the Russians were ready to
negotiate with the United States

that effective action in the inter-

Mr.. Bulganin's letter said:
"The United States has q

Mediterranean. The Soviet
Union too has a strong navy and
a powerful air force.
THE joint and immediate use
of these means by the United

backed by a United Nations de-
