EC, Aui. B — (C?) — A bitter fight between Liberals and the Union Nationals tonight held prospects of a stalemate resulting {Arum today's Quebec general elec- ons.

Five hours after polls closed. Union Nationals was in the osition, but it was not known if t would elect sufficient members- to give it a. clear-cut majority.

Union Nationiile representatives held 39 seats against 3'7 Liberals; and were leading in seven others against Liberal leadership in a single seat. The Bloc Po ulalre had elected four members, .C.F. one and Nationalist one. ._

The Union Nationals ap cared in the best position to en with the greater number of seats but It was considered doubtful if they could obtain an over-all majority in view of the handful of candl- dates of other designations elected.

Maurice Duplessis, Union Na- tlorialo lender. was the first man to be assured of personal re-election. He swept to victory over two op- ponents in Three Rivers with such a margin that his re-eleotion was ‘conceded within 5D minutes of the time the polls closed.

Premier Godbout was re-elected in L’Islet. l-Iis margin of some 8CD votes was more than 200 flbOVB hi! margin in the same riding in i939.

LONDON. Aug. B — (AP Eight. expelled army officers were hanged today in the Hitler as- sassination purge, Berlin announced amid rumore-unsubstcntlated by German or by Allied authorities- that Heinrich Himmler had been killed and Hermann Goering wounded in a new outbreak against the Nazi regime.

Official broadcasts said Field Marshal Eli-win von Witzlebcn was hanged with seven colleagues for their confessed participation in the July 20 conspiracy to kill Adolf Hitler and surrender Germany to the Allies.

The death sentences were carri- ed out Just two hours after a red- robed "People's Court“ convicted the defendants of high treason.

The two-day trial developed s story of vast intrigue against Hit- ler and dissatisfaction of high of- ficers over his military ineptitude.

The rumor that Gestapo Chief Himmler was dead came from the British front in Normandy. This report, received with the utmost reserve in London, said a. newly-

captured German intelligence of-i

ficer related that Himmler had been killed and Goering, Hitler's second in ‘, wounded.
