U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

CANDIDATES' LAST APPEAL TO ELECTORS

New York, Nov. 1.-The Democratic and Republican Presidential candidates in the United States elections concluded today eight gruelling weeks of speech-making with a non-political bi- partisan appeal to 95 million American citizens of voting age to exercise their patriotic duty of voting at tomorrow's general election.

The appeal is regarded necessary because in the past decade a larger proportion of citizens have failed to vote than in other democracies.

President Truman, in a final appeal for votes, said in a nationwide broadcast that a Democratic victory "is our best insurance against going back to the dark days of 1932,"

Wheels of Commerce Cease Turning In Shanghai

Shanghai, Nov. 2.-The wheels of commerce stopped turning in this financial hub of China as the government abolished price ceilings with which it had hoped to bolster its new Gold Yuan.

Businesses which had been forced to stay open despite emptied shelves closed down yesterday to restock and recoup. With the old official ceilings abolished, prices fluctuated wildly at levels anywhere from 300 to 500 percent above those frozen on "With milltary disasters August 19.
