Washington, October 17.

The biggest factor in the 1952 Presidential election campaign would be the capture of ono or both Houses of Congress by a Ropublican majority in the Congressional Elections to be held on November 7.

Such a result would mean Republican control of

Congressional, business and debates for the next two years; Republican majorities on all the Congressional Committees which will daily be reviewing President Truman's administra- tion of the Government; a Republican Speaker of the House; and Republican Chairmen of the influential Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committees.

It would make it still mort difficult for the harassed Pru- sident Truman to get done the things that he wants to have done to meet both foreign and domestic crises. It would mean ever more vocal and publicised criticism of his not having done the things which the voters feel he ought to have

Glamis, Angus, Scotland, October 17,

Glamis Castle, ancestral home of Queen Elizabeth is today, for the first time in its 1,000 years of history, making capital out of tradition.

The 16th Earl of Strathmore, 34-year-old bachelor nephew of Queen Elizabeth, has opened its gates to the public at a charge of two shillings per head.

Heavy taxation and death duties, which had to be paid twice in less than six years, forced the present Earl, affec- tionately known in the village Timmy", to open as "young his historic home to visitors.
