Motion to Suppress Evidence in Sedition Trial Is Turned Down By CASTER BROOKE JONES. Denial of a defense motion to sup press documentary evidence seized from Robert E. Edmondson, a de fendant in the sedition case, left the Government free to offer in evidence today a number of these papers. After a hearing in the absence of the jury, during which Mr. and Mrs. Edmondson testified, Chief Justice Edward C. Eicher denied the motion late yesterday. It was urged by Edmondson's attorney,. Ethelbert B. Prey, on the ground that the evi dence-was taken illegally at the de fendant's home at Grass Valley. Calif., in 1942. Justice Eicher will pass on the admissibility of the pa pers when Chief Prosecutor O. John Rogge proffers them after identifying testimony. There was conflicting testimony between the couple and the officers who- arrested Edmondson and searched his premises, Wesley Erich, deputy United Statfes marshal at Sacramento, and Henry Knoll, undersheriff there. Mr Erich said he held a warrant for Edmonson's arrest and that he read it, together with a copy of the complaint, to the defendant This was denied by Mr. and Mrs. Edmondson. They said no warrant was shown or read them. It was brought out that a similar hearing was held before Justice Jesse C. Adkins February 2, 1943, and he refused to suppress the evi dence. Justice Eicher held that, while he was not necessarily bound by Justice Adkins' decision, the testi mony brought out at that time and incorporated in the record here, largely uncontradicted at this hear ing. was persuasive. It indicated Edmonson had consented to having his house searched in connection with a lawful arrest, the court felt. Mr. Frey contended the nearing before Justice Adkins was concerned in a previous indictment and should be disregarded. He also maintained that seven-eighths of the papers seized at the Edmonson home had been returned to the couple, and the rest should be given back. Mrs. Edmondson testified that per sonal letters were taken from her desk which had no possible bearing on the charge against her husband. There was no warrant shown or read at any time, she told Justice Eicher, and both she and her husband pro tested the search “vehemently." Solid South Smashes Fourth-Term Revolt By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Nov. 8.—Voters of the Solid South wrote their indorsement of a fourth term for President Roosevelt yesterday. Pre-election vocal opposition to President Roosevelt in Texas was smothered under an avalanche of “straight-ticket” vote's, with the President holding a lead of more than 4 to 1 over the Republicans and anti-Roosevelt "Texas Regu lars.” Roosevelt forces in Mississippi, where the Legislature was called into session last week to assure a “straight Roosevelt” ticket on the ballot, piled up a lead of more than 13 to 1. Revolters In South Carolina failed to attract a large following to their cause and Mr. Roosevelt swept into an overwhelming victory. Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana polled their usual heavy Democratic majorities, but in Arkansas the Democratic majority was the small est in 16 years. Republicans fared better in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, but did not threaten the Democratic lead in those States. Tennessee, along the Southern border, went down the line for Pres ident Roosevelt. Minority leader Martin Takes Lead of 30,000 By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 8—Senator Truman was up at 6:30 a.m. today, with less than three hours’ sleep, scanning a pile of congratulatory telegrams stacked in the living room of his hotel suite. Among the scores of messages— the prize of them all—was one from President Roosevelt. The Senator flipped it open, glanced at it with a smile, then read it carefully. It said: "I am very happy that things have gone so well. My thanks and con gratulations for your splendid co operation. I will see you very soon." It was signed merely "Roosevelt.” Within minutes the Vice Presi dent-elect was on the telephone, putting through a call to the Presi dent to congratulate and thank him. The Senator had some bad mo ments last night. For a time the national result appeared in doubt, but the Senator, listening to returns ■with his wife and daughter Mar garet and a large group of friends in his hotel suite, smilingly told the crowd. "Everybody around here is nervous but me.” Then came a report that unof ficial returns indicated Missouri might go Republican. That was too much. He went to a piano and concentrated on play ing the difficult “Minuet,” by Pad erewski. He played without a score. and turned out a perfect perform ance. His home State kept him on the griddle for several hours as rural returns piled up an increasing lead for the Dewey-Bricker ticket. For a time it looked as if Missouri might break its record of having voted for the winner in every presidential election since 1904. Then the big city tabulations, which had gotten off to a slow start, began to pour in. Soon after midnight the Dewey-Brieker lead was wiped out and the result never was in doubt after that. Then came Gov. Dewey’s conces sion. "It was a grand statement by Gov. Dewey, and it shows American sportsmanship in this campaign.” Senator Truman commented. “It is our duty now to uphold his good wishes and win the war and win the peace.' Out at suburban Grandview, his 91-year-old mother. Mrs. Martha Truman listened to the returns j throughout the early part of the; night. She had done some cam- i paigning for her son "even if I am 911 years old.” She was philosophical about the matter when it seemed for a time that the Dewey ticket had a chance | to win. “If Harry doesn't win he won't be disgraced. It won’t kill him.” But an afterthought: “But since’ he's running I want him to win.” Republicans Retain Monopoly in Kansas By the Associated Press. TOPEKA. Kans., Nov. 8.—Kansas' eight electoral votes went to Gov. Dewey in an election which saw Re publicans retain their Statehouse monopoly and again send an all GOP delegation to Congress.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8 —Illinois, riding the Roosevelt vote wagon, sent one of the President's stanchest sup porters, Scott W. Lucas, back to the Senate today along with at least one new Democratic Representative, but retailed its Republican Governor. Gov. Dwight H. Green fought oil a stubborn challenge for re-election from the Democratic candidate. State's Attorney Thomas J, Court ney Gov. Green became assured of re election to his second term when he commanded a lead of 35,000 votes over Mr. Courtney, with 8,149 of the State's 8,748 precincts tabulated. Mr. Courtney, who had led the Gov ernor through last night and this morning, had exhausted the strength that could be expected from the Democratic stronghold, of Cook County, while the Governor con tinued to pick up votes downstate. In the congressional district con tests eight Republicans and four Democrats were re-elected and in undecided races Republicans were leading in downstate Illinois and Democrats in their Cook County citadel. Illinois' congressional dele gation had been 19 Republicans and seven Democrats. The Congress-at-large light was won by Mrs. Emily Taft Douglas, Democrat, over the incumbent. Stephen A. Day. Returns included: President — Roosevelt, 1,820,854; Dewey, 1,640,118, in 7,671 of Illinois' 8,748 precincts. Senator—Lucas, 1,839,691 to 1,603. 942 for Richard J. Lyons, Repub lican, in 7.804 precincts. Congress at large — Douglas. 1. 377,658 to 1.200,940 for Day in 6,067 precincts. Mr. Courtney, 48-year-old State’s attorney of Cook County, had led Gov. Green throughout last night on the basis of heavy Democratic vot ing from his home district. His lead dwindled to a mere 11,000 at 7:30 a.m. Later additional returns from downstate put the Governor in command.

Reds Shell Budapest1 As Heavy Rains Slow Troops in Outskirts Bv th* Associated Press. LONDON, Nov. 8.—The promise of explosive action hung today over the long eastern front, where for the last two days Moscow has an nounced there have been no essen tial changes. Torrential rains hindered Red Army troops jabbing at the out skirts of Budapest. The Russians were moving infantrymen into the front lines beside their tanks, while Soviet artillery plumped shells into the city. Berlin said the Russians were pre paring for a new laige-scale attack toward Tarnow in Southwest Poland from the Soviet bridgehead on the west side of the Vistula River. The Nazis declared the Russians have been withdrawing mechanized for mations from the East Beskids area of the Pollsh-Czechoslovak border to reinforce assault divisions and “the early beginning of a big battle is assumed." Ultimate aim of an offensive in .this direction would be a penetra tion of German Silesia. Soviet troops in Northeastern Hungary have pushed two new bridgeheads across the Tisza River 75 and 125 miles above Budapest, the Germans admitted. A supplement to the broadcast Soviet communique said a recon naissance in force was carried out in East Prussia, and that 600 Ger mans were killed in East Prussia and Eastern Czechoslovakia. The Budapest radio said Russian troops were repulsed in an attempted landing on 30-mile-long Csepel Is land in the Danube River, but ad mitted a landing was effected on a nearby smaller island. Csepel Island reaches into Budapest's precincts. Help win the war by saving waste kitchen fats! 12 SPECIAL REASON! 1 2 CALL CARL! I 2 HURRY!

Judge Helmick to Make I Judicial Survey in China Another step In America's efforts to aid China was taken yesterday when the State Department announced Judge Milton J. Helmick, formerly justice of the United States Court in China, would go to Chungking to make a general survey of Chinese laws, regulations, and judicial ad ministration.

The judge, a native of St. Louts, was justice of the American Court in China from 1934 to May, 1943. when extra territorial rights were renounced by the United States. He was repatriated to thus country in 1942 on the Swedish ship Gripsholm. Gov. Dewey Carries Hyde Park and Pawling By the Associated Pre$s. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y„ Nov. 8.—Gov.
