3rd Baihilion Of PPCLI Joins 25ih Brigade

By Bill non Cs.ns.dian Press Staff Writer

WITH 'I'I-IE CANADIANS IN KOREA. Nov. 2 -(CP)- Brig. M. P. (Pat) Bogert, commanding of- ficer of Canada's 35th Infantry Brigade, Eiaturday welcomed the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, to his command.

The battalion arrived Thursday to replace the 1st Battalion, going home on rotation leave.

After inspecting the troops, Brig. Bogert had them break ranks and gather around the sai- uting base for an informal talk.

"Although you undoubtedly are well trained, you all will have a good many lessons to learn," he Said. O

"Even those of you who served in the last war and may already have served here will learn new lessons.”

Until the Korean war the Cana- dian army had not fought a de- fensive battle since the First World War, the Brigadier told his new troops. ,

"Now we are in one and we must lesm again many of the lessons which have not been practised since 1910. You must approach -the whole business in a modest way. otherwise you will become over- confident, which is always a mis- take.

"we have a high standard of discipline in this brigade-people

always do what they are told. That makes us more efficient, wins battles and saves lives."

NEW YORK. Nov. 2-(CF)- The United Si.ai.es' 1952 presi- dential campalgn. which started out with high-minded oratory and lapsed into n political brawl,

neared its climax tonight with the outcome uncertain, Both Democrats and Republi-

cans macle advance claims of vic- tory but only the voters could tell whether the renowned sol- dier, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, or the polished Governor of Illinois. Adlai Stevenson, would become president for the next four years.

The number of eligible voters is estimated at more than 75,000,- 000. Forecasts of generally fair weather for Tuesday's polling strengthened prediction that 55.- O00.000 or more will vote-far ahead of the previous record when 49,820,000 voted in the 1940 contest between the late Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie.

In addition to a president and vice-president, voters will choose 34 senators. 432 members of the House of Representatives, 29 state governors and a host of lesser officials. Maine voted in September, electing a governor. a senator and three representatives, all Republicans.

It will be many hours before Americans will know the political complexion of the administration that will take over on lnauzUl'- ation day, Jan. 20. In 1948 more than 12 hours passed after all polls closed. before Governor Thomas Dewey of New York
