(By Associated Press)

Thomas E. Dewey, crusading young attorney, was elected New York States first Republican gov- ernor in 20 years yesterday when Democratic candidate John J. Bennett, Jr., conceded his defeat shortly after 10 o'clock in New York last night.
 It was Dewey all the way. Gar nering a huge victory upstate. Dewey projected himself emphati- cally into the 1944 presidential cleo tion picture.
 In nominations for the last presi- dential election, the New York Re- publican had led the convention for a time, finally losing to Wen dell L. Willkie.
 Bad News for FDR
 At the same time, the New York election reflected on Capitol Hill where President Roosevelt, after a spat with Jim Farley over who should be nominated on the Demo- cratic ticket, took his second poli- tical setback in few months. The first came when the New York Demos nominated Bennett, Farley's choice, over James Mead, Roose- velt's favorite. Later the President came out to boost Bennett. Dewey's victory gave the President another setback. .,...

MRS. ROOSEVELT AND QUEEN ELIZABETH

Now that Mrs. Roosevelt is in England being entertained by Queen Elizabeth, one story of how the Queen was entertained in the White House can be told. Mrs. Roosevelt herself relates the story.
 She says that ordinarily she doesn't pay too much attention to White House rooms, since the very efficient White House staff keeps them spick- -and-span. However, be- fore the arrival of the King and Queen, she thought it would be a good idea to inspect their suite.
 She found everything perfect = except for the book case. It was filled with books pertaining to the American Revolution.

Every time you lick a War Savings
Stamp you help lick the Axis.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-11-09

But basic as are the economic interests of Amer
icas war workers, the movement which truly rep
resents them must give leadership which goes far
beyond even such important considerations.
The CLIO has won the confidence of Ameri-
can working people because 1t Is the most ag-
gressive force In the country working for an
about victory effort in every field
The CLIO was the first to demand the speedy
conversion Of industry to war purposes. It was the
first to call for national planning for increased war
production, for the closest labor-management-go
eminent cooperation and for production committees
in every plant.
The Go works for national and international
labor unity so that the organized workers Of all
the United Nations may achieve the maximum joint
effort for victory.
On every national wartime issue, the Go has
come forward with constructive proposals to insure
the greatest and speediest success for our war
effort.
At the present time, as President Murray's
convention report indicates, the CLIO is taking
the lead for total mobilization of all our eco
nomic and manpower resources under central
lied direction and control for immediate
offensive against the Hitler Axis.
In every phase of our war effort the CIO has
furnished the kind of leadership which American
That is why 1t has made such outstanding organi-
rational progress in the past year. and that Is why
1t will continue to grow.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-11-09

And in SO doing 1t has represented the truest
economic interests of the workers as well as their
determination to make victory the first considera-
ton.

Wartime Convention

The Congress of Industrial Organizations opened
its fifth constitutional and Its first wartime
ton In Boston at the peak Of its fighting strength
Every Of its unions has substantially in
creased its membership, and some have more than
doubled their membership during the past year.
The organizational section of President Murray's
report is crowded with figures about elections won
new contracts secured, new locals organized and
hundreds of thousands of members enrolled.
Labor Board elections, in which the work.
ers vote their union choice by secret ballot are
the surest test OF crganiZatienal progress. And
this test shows that the CLIO has made greater
gains in the past year than ever before and Is
far ahead of all competitors
Labor Board reports for the second quarter Of
this year indicate that a larger number of votes
were cast in plant elections than in any previous
equivalent period In this quarter CLIO unions won
the largest percentage of elections in CLIO history,
being victorious in 473 percent, against 1928
percent won by AFL unions and 9.6 percent won
by Independent unions.
The CIO Is booming as never before because
1t has proved that 1t can meet the wartime needs
of American industrial workers, and because its
policies exactly express their sentiments and aspra
tions.
"a
call for unions that will protect their economic in
terests not only through collective bargaining but
also through intelligent and patriotic national poll
cies on price control, rationing taxation and all
the other necessary wartime economic controls.
Where in the past, collective bargaining might
directly concern only the workers and employers
in particular industry or plant now nearly every
issue raised is tied in with national governmental
policy and must, in the last analysis, be determined
by the war interests of the whole American people.
And this Is precisely where the progressive win

tests.
The CLIO has subordinated all other con-
siderati0ns to winning the 1t has done
SO because this Is the desire of the millions
Of workers for whom 1t speaks; because the
interests of labor and whole country are
one and identical In this crisis; and because
labor's freedom and It's very life depend upon
victory the Axis.
With this one goal in mind, the CIO has
sumed national leadership in its economic and
legislative policies and In its dealings with the
government and its agencies. 1t has demanded and
worked for wartime economy that will insure
maximum productive efficiency and civilian morale.

been devoted chiefly to recording organizational
progress, achievements in wage increases and i'm
proved conditions and the legislative and political
efforts of labor to improve its economic and social
status and to expand our democracy
All of these subjects are included in this first
wartime convention report of CLIO. But all of them
related to the main purpose of winning the
war, and the character of many Of such activities
Is necessarily changed by wartime conditions.
All wage issues, for instance, now find their
way to the War Labor Board, and the unions must
wrestle with numerous government agencies in de-

good.
Only mares Of a suitable type
may be bred to these stations,
and any owner of such a mare
may take advantage of the use
of one of these stations by
making the necessary arrange

ceed $40 is usually charged by
the caretaker of the stallion in
order to recompense him for
the feed and care of the horse.
