I November 3, 1947. Philadelphia Holds Interest As Cities Vote Philadelphia, San Francisco, Detroit and Cleveland top a long list of mayoralty battles attracting interest in Tuesday's municipal elections. Local issues have predominated in the campaigns. In one--Indianapolis -a national party leader, Rep. Charles A.

Halleck of Indiana, Republican floor leader of the U. S. House, has taken part. PHILADELPHIA'S one million registered voters have not witnessed such a red hot mayoralty fight since the city elected its last Democrat to that office 63 years ago. Bernard Samuel, 67-year-old Republican incumbent seeking re-election.

is opposed by Richardson Dilworth, Democrat, 49-year-old marine corps veteran of two World wars. Dilworth, in street corner speeches, has questioned whether the city should entrust to what he terms a and corrupt Republican machine" the spending of 320 million dollars for a post-war improvement program. Samuel, who has made few speeches, has asked voter support on the basis of his announced program' of public im- By' The Associated Press provement projects. THE MAYORALTY elections will share interest with several statewide races, notably in Kentucky I and Mississippi. In Kentucky, Rep.

Earle C. Clement, a Democrat, will contest for the governorship with State Attorney General Eldon S. Dummit, lican. Kentucky now has a Republican governor, Simeon S. Willis, who is ineligible to succeed himself.

In Mississippi, the big race is to succeed to the Senate seat of the late Theodore G. Bilbo. The winner will come from among six Democrats, including two congressmen, John E. Rankin and William E. Colmer.

Three special congressional elections will be held Tuesday also, in the 4th Ohio, 10th Indiana and 14th New York districts. CITY FINANCES and transportation have figured as issues in Detroit's non-partisan election. Mayor Edward J. Jeffries, endorsed by the C.I.O. and A.F.of is seeking his fifth successive term.

He is opposed by Eugene I. Van Antwerp, city councilman for 16 years, who is making his first bid for mayor. In Cleveland it's Mayor Thomas E. Burke (D), supported by organized labor and seeking a second term, versus Eliot Ness (R), former safety director backed by the regular, S. G.O.P.

His opponent is Al G. Feeney (D), former state police superintendent. U.A.W. Officers Split Over Oath Detroit, Nov. 2 (AP) Vice President R.

J. Thomas, apparently standing alone, refused Saturday to sign a non-Communist affidavit with other members of the C. I. O. United Auto Workers union executive board.

Scorning the Taft-Hartley act, Thomas said he had "no intention" of giving the required oath that he is not a Communist. The rights of the U. A. 000 members to benefit from the National Labor Relations board remained uncertain. Under the TaftHartley act the N.

L. R. B. is inaccesible to unions whose officers fail to sign affidavits. Thomas, a former U.

A. W. President, was alone among the 23 members of the U. A. W.

board to refusal sign. announce. A. constitution, a spokesman said, gives the board authority between conventions to "rescind, reverse or repeal" any action by an individual officer. He said this authority could be brought to bear against Thomas.

By MARC PURDUE of the Associated Press Lake Success, Nov. 2 Dr. Julian Huxley, director general of the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.) has found that current international political strife is hampering his organization's work "surprisingly little." "Political issues have played a negligible role in the work of U.N.

E.S.C.O.," Huxley told a news conference at U. N. headquarters. "We have found it is possible to get a remarkabe degree of complete agreement on the matters with which we deal between representatives of all countries and of all political complexions." U.N.E.S.C.O. IS a specialized agency independent of the U.

but it works in cooperation U. N. organs, particularly the economic and social council, and other specialized international agencies. Huxley cited the full participation of Czechoslovakia and Poland in U.N.E.S.C.O. affairs to illustrate the lack of political interference and that although Russia and Yugoslavia had not joined the organization, the Soviet government had requested all available information on U.N.E.S.C.O.'s work.

Summarizing U.N.E.S.C.O.'s accomplishment in its first year, Huxley, stressed that the organization been actually only about six the early operating, part of its history was devoted to establishment of its offices and machinery. IN THAT TIME, he sajd, U.N.E.S. C.O. has made practical achievements in a wide variety of fields. The director-general cited the International Council on Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of Educational, Scientific and Cultural Resources in War-Devastated Countries, a work which already has benefited by an 80 million dollar fund contributed by the American Committee on Educational Recon- 2 Babies Slain, Farmer Held Houston, Nov.

2 (AP) A 45-year-old Ozarks farmer today faced charges that he buried alive two newborn babies. Sheriff Charley Fazel. said the farmer, John Monroe Garrett, admitted to state and county that twice he buried shortly after birth two babies born to an married woman identified by Fazel as Ruth Manson Robertson, 26. Fazel said remains of one of the infants were found Saturday on the farm near Ellis Prairie where Garrett had been living with the woman in the last year and a half. The investigation began three days ago when the woman, now living at Mountain Grove, went to state police.

The sheriff said she told officers she had given birth to two babies and that each time, Garrett had taken them away shortly after they were born. The Ozarks farmer, state police said, is the father of five children from 4 to 13 years old. They said the Robertson woman, who was divorced from her first husband, was not being held. A search for the body of the other baby was planned Monday. Garrett is charged with first degree murder.

HUXLEY SAID the Regional Scientific institute proposed for the Amazon basin in Brazil was one of U.N.E.S.C.O's most interesting projects. Preliminary studies for establishment of the institute have been made by representatives of 10 interested countries, but, Huxley explained, none of these countries has yet committed itself financial supDogfiginally the institute was intended for purely scientific studies of the tropical forest belt which extends around the world, but now its scope has been broadened to include all scientific and social aspects of life in tropic areas. Huxley and his staff stopped at Lake Success enroute from U.N.E.S. C.O.

headquarters in Paris to the second annual U.N.E.S.C.O. conference at Mexico City Thursday. THE DIRECTOR general indicated that U.N.E.S.C.O's chief problem at the conference would be finances. U.N.E.S.C.O., Huxley said. covers an unprecedentedly wide field, its work ranging from international exchange of scientific studies through such projects as an International Theater institute to efforts to achieve a world-wide copyright treaty.

Through U.N.E.S.C.O., he said, a U.N. film board has been established, a seminar of educators on methods of broadening international studies in primary and secondary schools has been conducted successfully, and training fellowship for study of press and radio techniques have been established.

He was charged with felonious assault but his attorney maintained he was innocent. The doorman, Andre Lepeletteir, 29, did not notify police immediately after the alleged incident Oct.

22, he said, but wrote the commissioner of licenses inquiring it Arno had a gun permit. Police, who arrested Arno Friday, said his gun permit bears the address of the New Yorker magazine, which publishes his cartoons. Lepeletteir charged that when he offered to get the cartoonist a cab, Arno replied, "I don't like your face," adding, "and you're not a good American either." Arno returned about 15 minutes later, Lepeletteir charged, pushed a pistol against his stomach, and declared, "I don't like your laugh." Lepeletteir said he retreated into the lobby of the hotel (the Drake). Ira C. Copley, 83, Newspaper Publisher, Dies Aurora, Nov.

2 (AP) Ira Clifton Copley, publisher of 17 newspapers in California and Illinois, died today. He was 83. Copley, once a utilities executive and a member of Congress from 1911 to 1923, died of a heart seizure in Copley Memorial hospital, an institution built with his own funds. He had entered the hospital Oct. 18 for treatment of his ankle, broken several days earlier in Los Angeles.

COPLEY CONTROLLED his newspapers as chairman of the the Copley Press, Inc. He began his publishing career in 1905 while he was head of the Western United Gas Electric Co. by purchasing the Aurora Beacon with which he later consolidated the Aurora News. The Copley newspapers now comprise the Aurora Beacon-News, the Elgin Courier-News, the Joliet Herald-News, the Illinois State Journal of Springfield and the Illinois State Register of Springfield, in Illinois, and 12 California publications.

Here, his philanthropic activities were centered, and he was best known. He is survived by his widow, the former Chloe Davidson Worley of Aurora; two adopted sons, William Nelson Copley, San Diego artist and writer, and James Stramn Copley of Los Angeles, vice president of the Copley Press; a sister, Edith Copley Lams of Los Angeles, and a grandson, William Bryant Copley of San Diego.

United Auto Workers who will return to work under a 15 per cent wage increase granted last September and a provision to begin contract negotiations Nov. 15. The truce, reached after four days of discussions centering about a bargaining election, also provides for a check of U. A. W.

pledge cards as of Aug. 19 to determine if the union represented a majority. The company said the plant would re-open Tuesday. The peace agreement stipulates that the U.S. Mediation and Conciliation service complete the check before Nov.

15. The striking workers voted to accept "under protest" the company wage boost offer which granted one major concession in a labor controversy marked by a congressional committee's inquiry and a back-to-work movement opposed by the unionists. a all over town still shining!
