(Mac) Wallace was released from county jail Thursday i a Laborite in still another district. That made a net loss of 12 seats for the Laborites. who had an overall majority of only six in the last Parliament. The Laborites, at the halfway point in tabulation, had failed to take a single seat from Churchill's men and by all normal standards the full Conservative strength was yet to appear.

Churchill and his supporters campaigned on the theme that Attlee party lacked the skill and power to restore Britain to strength and to save her from becoming the battleground of a Ihird world war. Churchill, 77 next Nov. 30, spoke of it as the "last prize" he wanted the chance to get into the fight for Counter Offer lions but would retain Heartbreak and Bloody Ridges in the east and a piece of ground northwest of Yonsong, all won at the cost of many casualties. Major General Henry I. Hodes, head of the UN subcommittee, in presenting his proposal with maps, suggested the Reds accept it or face a less favorable one later.

He noted that during the long suspension of the talks, the battle line had moved many miles north. The Reds in the past have insisted they would agree only to the 38th Parallel as a cease-fire line. Recently there have been indications they would settle for less. FOR ONE THING, they failed to mention the parallel at Thursday's meetings. For another, the Peiping radio has been hinting recently that the Chinese consider their military task in Korea is about done.

A UN spokesman said the Communist offer to start from scratch on negotiations Thursday led to "hope that progress will be made." However, even if the buffer-zone is settled, there remain the Ques tions of supervising a cease-fire, exchange of prisoners and recom- mendations covering eventual with' arawai of troops from Korea. 80 MIGs ATTACK In -ii irii'iif-jg fcmmt mi in WINSTON CHURCHILL CROWDS SHOUT VICTORY Churchill Feels Long Fight Approaching Successful End LONDON, Friday, Oct. 26 (UP) Crowds surged through the streets of London chanting "We Want Churchill" early Thursday and in his home at 28 Hyde Park Gate, Britain's wartime prime minister began to feel his long comeback fight was nearing a successful end.

The former University of Texas campus leader was free under bond in the slaying pending grand jury action. The bond was lowered from $30,000 at an examin ing trial earlier in the day.

6) Compromise Enemy Makes MUNSAN, Korea. Friday, Oct. 26 (JF) A concrete Allied proposal for a Korean buffer zone involving cession of about 200 square miles of territory by each side, put the next cease-fire move squarely up to the Communists Friday. Subcommittees met for one hour and a half and adjourned for the day at 12:30 p. m.

(9:30 p. m. CST, Thursday.) There was no immediate announcement of the results. Presumably the Communists gave their answer to the Allied buffer zone proposal or countered with a proposal of their own. THERE WAS speculation that gome sort of compromise would be effected after the Reds make a counter-proposal.

Upon this might depend the speed with which the United Nations and Communist negotiators settle this thorny question or go into possible new deadlock. The sudden Allied proposal was Introduced at a subcommittee meeting immediately after the truce negotiations were resumed, ending a 64-day suspension. It was on this issue that the previous talks were snarled, but the Reds themselves offered to start all over with a clean slate. A United Nations command spokesman said the Allied suggestion entailed a line generally following the preset battlefront, but with the Reds to give up about 200 square miles territory in the west and the Allies to pull out of a similar area in the east. A buffer zone two and one-half miles wfde would be created, most of it in North Korea, but dipping into South Korea at its western end.

It would run from the mouth of the Yesong River in western Korea to a point 114 miles southeast of Kosong on the east coast where the Allies are now 50 miles north of Parallel 38. Under this plan, the Reds would lose Kaesong. the old truce nego-tiatoin site. The Allies would give up some east coast and central posi- 7,711,194 Final Census in Texas WASHINGTON, Oct 25 (UP) Final census figures for Texas put its 1950 population at 7,711,194, gain of 1.296.370 over 1940. Roy V.

Peel, director of the Bureau of Census, calculated in Thursday night's report that the state's 1350 population was more than 36 times greater than in 1850, when Texas was first enumerated in federal census. The balance of population has shifted decisively to urban areas. Of the total residents, 4.838.060 live in cities and towns: 2.837.134 in rural areas. Urban dwellers account for 62.7 per cent of the population. The final summary showed 108 of 254 counties made population gains in the last decade, of which Andrews County had the biggest, percentagewise, 291.1 per cent.

Its population increased from 1,277 in 1940 to 5.002 in 1950. Four counties Ector, Midland, Moore and Orange, all spurred by oil booms or other industrial developmentmore than doubled in population between 1940 and 1950. Harris County made the biggest numerical increase for the period, 277.740, up to 806.701: followed by Lianas County, up 216.235 to 614.799 up 162.284 to 500.460, and i Tarrant, up 135.732 to 361.253 Population of counties ranged irom Hams' 806.701 down to Kenedy's 632. A-Bomb Production 'Revolution' Near CHICAGO. Oct 25 (4-Senator McMahon (D-Conn) said Thursday night the United States is "on the threshold of a revolution in production and profitable military use of atomic weapons a revolution in our power to deter the Kremlin." McMahon, chairman of the Senate-House atomic energy committee, declared at the same time that Stalin is going all-out he means business in atomic energy." The Senator added: "Each successive top secret intelligence report presented to the joint committee draws a little darker and a little trimmer picture of Russian progress In a speech prepared for delivery at a meeting of the American In-Btitute of Physics.

Final returns from Thursday's elections are not due until Friday night, but Labor Party leaders privately conceded the early trend meant the end of Britain's era of socialism. One predicted Churchill might have a majority of 35 seats or so in the House of Commons. For the last few months, th la borites have struggled along with a majority of only a half dozen seats. A swing of Liberal Party strength to Chufthill's Tories was a decisive factor.

In the last election the Liberals entered 475 candiates. This time they put up only 108. The "orphan" vote went Conservative in districts where it hurt labor most. The polls closed Thursday at 9 p. m.

Early Friday the counting reached the 323-seat mark, and the tabulation was suspended until about 11 a. m. (5 a. m. CST).

The remaining 302 seats will be accounted for in the later tabulations. By 2 a. m. Conservative Party headquarters had an air of "we're in." Shortly after 3 a. m.

Results in more than half the 625 parliamentary districts pointed to a political and personal triumph for the old warrior who led Britain to victory in World War II only to be brushed aside when the war- weary people adopted the Socialist tuaDon Party promises of a better life.

The authority was Issued to the Railway Express Agency, which was permitted to apply the increase on 15 days' notice to the public. The increase will apply to all types of shipments except daily newspapers, milk, cream, and corpses. The commission estimated the changes, less than half of what the agency sought, will increase express charge! by about $29,560,524 a year. Commission officials said the company has had $21 million in-erease in wage costs during the past year, plus a $1,500,000 jump in materials costs, and that the authorized increases "will not take the express operation out of the red." The company asked for Increases averaging 25 per cent and ranging in some instances to well over 100 per cent. The ICC rejected this formula and provided for a 30 cents per 100 pounds hike in first class rates covering the general merchandise field, with proportionate increases in all other classes of express.

The resolution came after several hours of debate during which attorneys advised club members on legal methods they can use to block the current annexation. Club President A. D. Potter advised members that the club- as an organization could not enter a suit or injunction. "It could support an individual, however," he added.

Club Treasurer Gene Howard read an opinion from his attorney saying that legal action would be "difficult" Attorney Hubert Lee. who is vice-president of the club, outlined some of the legal difficulties in trying to stop the City Council. Ryan has refused to honor this demand. He said to do so would be to renege on a signed and sealed agreement with shipping firms. The shippers themselves flatly refused to reopen wage talks with the wildcat stevedores.

New York's milk strike was spttled Thursday a little more than 24 hours after it began. Mayor Vincent Impeilitteri made the announcement that an agreement had been reached in the dis-put which affected supplies for some 12.000,000 residents of the metropolitan area The peace terms were expected to be linked to a federally-approved price increase for milk, to be. shared in by dealers and drivers.

A price boost if granted by the Office of Price Stabilization would probably raise the retail price of milk by one and a half to two cents a quart. In New York, it now sells for 24 cnts a quart delivered and 211 cent at the store. before 3 a.m. (9 p.m. CST), "walk.

THIS WAS THE hour of Chur-chill's apparent triumph but the venerable statesman was taking it quietly, even solemnly, friends said. Outside the old-fashioned house in Hyde Park Gate, a crowd of well-wishers shouted for a glimpse of the "next prime minister." But Churchill sat near a news ticker with his brandy and cigars, checking his returns. When Churchill became prime minister in the dark war days of 1940, he was appointed by King George. He went to the people for the first time in the general election of 1945 and was stunningly rejected.

26 OP) Allied planes smashed the Korean war's record blow at Communist rail transport Thursday. Pilots estimated they destroyed or damaged 36 locomotives and 289 rail cars in a series of bombing and strafing attacks centered in the northwest. The old mark set Sept 19. was 20 locomotives and 272 rail cars aesiroyed or damaged. FOR THE FIFTH dav in a row.

Communist jets tried to break up the daylight raids. At least 80 of them pressed attacks aaainst 63 Allied planes. The Fifth Air Force said one Russian-made M1G was damaged. There was no report of Allied damage. In the ground fighting, Patton tanks again slashed to the outskirts of Kumsong and shot up that former Red supply base 30 miles north of the 38th Parallel.

Allied infantry battered at Communist hill positions southeast of Kumsong for the second dav in row Thursday and was stopped cold. In all there were three Allied attacks. Other US tanks struck out on the right and pounded Red positions five miles east of Kumsong for six hours before returning to their lines Communist troops who had withdrawn from Kumsong to the north were, caught by Allied artillery. An estimated 500 Chinese troops were killed. The Allied showed no intention seizing Kumsong Under the new buffer zone proposal submit ted by the United Nations command at the Panmunjom cease-fire talks.

Allied forces would withdraw and one-half miles south of Kumsong. On the Western Front, United Nations troops in an early morning attack Thursday made a smalt advance to a hill northwest of Yon-chon. which is 35 miles north of Seoul. A briefing officer said the attack was checked by intense small arms fire and grenades. The Allies then switched the attack to the southwest but again were fiercely engaged.

They finally broke off the battle. Artillery took up the attack and pounded the Red lines northwest Yonchon for two and a half hours, inflicting an estimated 200 300 casualties. Northeast of Yonchon in the Kumhwa area, a tank-infantry force slashed two and a half-miles deep into enemy territory before re-turnine to its lines. LIGHT ENEMY probing attacks were repulsed on the mountainous eastern front, which generally was quiet. The air war, however, continued and heavy.
