Ike Is Urged To Appoint WASHINGTON, Nov.

5 High Truman administration officials expressed hope today that Dwight Eisenhower will select his secretaries of state and defense and set them to work in the departments studying U. S. foreign and military problems by the end of this month. Some of President Truman's advisers believe Truman should take the lead in inviting such a move as a means of bridging the "break between administrations next Jan. 20.

Defense Secretary Lovett some time ago publicly advocated steps along-this line. Secretary of State Acheson canceled a flight back to New York this afternoon. He took a break in his direct leadership of the United States delegation at the United Nations to vote in nearby Maryland yesterday. Then, instead of returning as he had planned, he made a date to see Truman. It was believed the problem of how to go about bringing Eisen- Democrats Retain State Senate Grip "CHARLESTON, Nov.

With all but one of 181 precincts In Cabell and Wayne counties -which make up the district-reporting, McKown was in front by an even 200 votes, 31,827 to 31,627.

The nearest thing to a changeover to a new administration came in 1945 when President Roosevelt's death put Truman in office. But the transition to a new set of officials' under the new President was an extremely slow process. During the past 20 years the diplomatic and military problems of the United States have become" extremely complicated because of America's role of leadership.of the free in the conflict with Russia.

Adlai Stevenson, calmly accepting the crushing defeat to his White House bid, put in a busy day at the executive mansion today on state business. Smiling and seemingly in good spirits, the Governor chatted informally for a few minutes with newsmen who paid him a visit battle for the White House, and Gapitol -Hill settled at last, the nation's once warring political clans began uniting beneath the Eisenhower standard.

The flood of votes for the old soldier rolled past the 31 miHioit level and on up. Early last night control of Senate and House were put definitely in Republican hands, although the margins were thin and shaky. The party at that time had 49 including independent Wayne and, 218 House members--in each instance a controlling majority. President Truman moved for national unity. Truman proposed that the man has "been" able whc- will succeed him, the man tits own way on domestic affairs, In the past, a coalition of.

On the. long glass-topped table in the office were baskets- of flowers and stacks of 'telegrams apparently sent by supporters of his losing cause. Around the mansion, which served as home base of the Democratic candidate's presidential campaign, there was a quick transformation. The bustle and excitement of the last three months was replaced by the slow- pack state affairs.

After a few days' letup in activity, caused by recent showers and cool, cloudy weather, the Conservation Commission said some new fires had started and others had broken over. At least 16 new fires were reported in Kanawha County, hot spot for the last two weeks in the without "sufficient worst fire out of recent dence to seek re-nomination in the May primary.

It was the first such estimate made. Officials said the figure was only preliminary; that it would be several weeks before-the full damage could be counted. Victors in the top state contests were national loser Adlai Ste venson over Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for President; 34-year-old William C.

Marland for governor, arid Sen Harley M. Kilgore over Chapman Revercomb for U.S. Senate. Democrats' margins of victory in carrying West Virginia for the sixth straight time in a presiden tial year generally were the riar rowest. since they came into power in With 93 per cent of the precincts in, the vote total was the bigges since the record 1940 total of 879,000.

And that mark appeared 'in danger, with the tabulation already past the 840,000 mark. Although the resurgent Republican strength in the state fell short generally, it was enough to win for the GOP one of the six Congressional seats for the first time since 1946. Republican Will E.

The Democrats held a 66-28 majority in the House in the 1951 legislative session, when there were 94 'seats. A redistricting measure enacted by that session increased the membership to 100. With unofficial figures available from all but one of Kanawha County's 307 precincts, it appeared that nnie Democrats- and two Republicans had won seats. The county delegates was increased from eight to 11 this year. Cabell County re-elected one of the" State" Suits Democratic incumbents, the veteran Mike Casey, but chose four Republicans to serve with him in the House.

Wyatt said' that the issues as drawn by Stevenson in the "are the issues for the Democratic party during the next four years." To a newsman's question, "What about 1956:" Wyatt replied: "Only the future can tell. But I told Gov.

The rise was modified considerably by acute declines in a handful of key railroad stocks in the last hour of trading. A broad look at the market showed advances scored by steels, oils, distillers, and many chemicals and non-ferrous metals On the downside as a group, were railroads, aircrafts, and utilities (by a shade). The Associated Press average of '0 stocks declined 10 cents at 1106.20.

The industrial component of the average was up 70 cents, but the railroads were down $1.20, and utilities were down 10 cents.

How well- Eisenhower can work with such a line-up is a matter of uncertainty. But he did make many political friends in united in the struggle for freedom Dixie in a campaign that split up and peace" it. The chief executive asked Eisenhower to send an emissary to sit in on high 'level government the once Solid South. Early last night, the congressional Scoreboard stood like with a number of races ''still unde- financial planning. He offered the! cided- general the White House plane I House: 435 seats; 218 required for a trip to Korea.

He had words for control. of praise for defeated Adlai E.j Republicans had elected 218- Stevenson, calling him. "a great new leader who will contribute much to our national life in the years ahead," High -officials of the outgoing administration suggested that Eisenhower promptly select the men he wants for secretary of state and secretary defense, that they may be briefed on vital policy making before taking over in January. Whether or to what exten Eisenhower would go along with all proposals was uncertain for the time Joeing. He wingec southward to Augusta, hoping for 10 days of golf and fishing.

But in his moment of glory and victory in yesterday's early morn ing hours, Eisenhower too had called "Let unite." -agreed promptly to select 'an aide to sit in on preparation of the new budge 1 which goes to Congress in January. For the visit to Korea, in fulfillment of a campaign, pledge which was one of the in his landslide victory, Eisenhower preferred a plane. He told Truman he would let Secretary of JUyyeii- know when he wants to leave. Gov. Stevenson of" Illinois into the silence of defeat As his hopes of carrying on a 20-year Democratic dynaisy collapsed around him, Stevenson also had summoned his fellow Americans to unite behind his conqueror and.

advance together "in freedom and dignity and peace." Soon it's to private life for the Democratic candidate. But already weighty problems at home and abroad are pressing in on Eisenhower. Congress which will handle lis legislative proposals will have no more than a razor edge Republican majority in either Senate or House. For an effective working arrangement with the lawmakers, Eisenhower must rely on some Democratic help. Democrats 205; Independents 1.

Senate: 96 seats; 45 represent control since the Vice President votes in case of a tie, and the "Veep" will be i a Richard after Jan. 20. Republicans had 49 including holdovers and Wayne Morse of Oregon, who noxv calls himself an Independent; Democrats had 47 including holdovers.
