BIRTH CONTROL
 LOSES IN MASS.
Half Million Voters Against Question Placed on VOt-
 ing Machines

Boston, Nov. 4.-(UP)-MasSachu- setts voters have decisively rejected the 'so-called birth control amend ment which would have permitted doctors to give contraceptive advice to married persons as a health measure.
 Returns from 1889 of the states S l842 precincts in yesterdays refer endum showed today that s500.8l9 opposed the proposal and 367 .635 fa- vored it. This was mo" major ity of 133,184.
 Bitterly opposed by the Catholic church, and personally assailed by 8l year r-old William Cardinal O'Con- nell, the amendments margin de- feat was expected to be increased by returns from several unreported cities with large Catholic popula- tions.
 Although early returns from rural regions put the ives" vote in the lead, opposition strength mounted with receipt of urban returns.
 Mrs. Walter E. Campbell, secre- tary of mothers health committee which sponsored the amendment, said it's defeat marks serious set- back for the forces of democracy in Massachusetts"
 But this is partly offset by the fact that thousands of ordinary citizens who have never before en- gagged in an election campaign have received a powerful education in the hard realities of existing Massachu- setts politics"
 These voters, Mrs. Campbell said will better understand what sort of opposition methods must be clearly anticipatd and met when the next opportunity arises to place the question of medical rights before the voters"
 The question of whether Massa chusetts doctors and parents shall have the rights to use health knowl- edge, as they do in 46 other states, is part of the struggle for democ- racy, which must be won at home as well as abroad" sine said. Mrs. Campbell predicted that fir time to come" Massachusetts would get fin line with those 46 states or the birth control issue. Leaders of the opposition grouT issued no statement immediately Cardinal O'Connell had asserted that that Catholic church "un- equlyocalIy and absolutely con. demns and den0unces as 6 grievoui violation of Gods law every artifi. cial intervention designed to defeai the sacred purpose of marriage" Al though some medical authoritiel and members of other faiths hat shared his views, 5T per cent of thu active members of the Massachu setts Medical society were amonl the proponents.

Greenwich, Conn, Nov. -- (u. P.) -- Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, beautiful globe-trotting author, play wright and war correspondent to- day promised, as Connecticut's first woman congressman in history, to do her best in Washington to see that we fight "a hard war--rlot soft war"
 Mrs. Luce, tall, slender and blonde-haired, brought the fourth district back into the Republican column after lapse of two years by piling up a plurality of 8072 votes over three rivals for the congress sional seat. Mrs Luce boiled 64,7l3 votes in an unofficial tally, and her closest rival was Democratic Repre- sentative Leroy Downs, Norwalk, who polled 56,64l votes.
 Dressed in a plain black dress with white ruffles. Mrs. Luce, wife of Time e-Life-Fortune publisher Henry Luce, sat quietly and coolly in her headquarters as the returns came in. She didn't appear at all nervous over the outcome. But as the tension mounted, and hordes of

5 Democrat Regimes
 In Nation Defeated
COP Gov. Defeated By Progressive; Conn. Among
 Four Pivotal States Switching
BY SPENCER KLAW United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

NNNAtCu HHC9S 5s1A SVhASSRVAA&SAp
 New York, Nov. 4-CUP)-Repub licans appeared today to have over turned five Democratic state ad- ministrations.
 But a Republican governor seek ing reelection was busted by Progressive.
 In four pivotal states which chose Democratic governors at the last election-New York, Connecti- cut, Michigan and California - Democratic candidates tossed in the towel before dawn and in Idaho, Democratic Gov. Chase A. Clark was trailing by 5000 votes with almost half the voting districts counted
 WisconsinS Republican Gov. Ju- Illus P. Hell, however, was trounced by Progressive Orland s. Loomis, with Democrat William c. Sullivan finishing far back,
 Three of yesterdays Republican victors-Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Harold E. Stassen of Mime sota, and John w. Bricker of Ohio are possible G. o. P. candidates for the presidency in l944.
 Dewey's smashing victory over Democrat John J. Bennett, Jr., made him a logical contender for the Republican l944 nomination, since the state capitol at Albany has often served as a stepping stone to the White House.
 Bricker, who coasted Into a third term in Ohio and thus became the first three-time Republican gover- nor in that states history, is being boosted by midwest Republicans.
 Stassen, who delivered the key note address at the 1940 COP. con- vention which nominated Wendell L. Willkie for the presidency, also was returned to the governorship for a third term. although he has arl- nounced his intentions of going into the Navy as a lieutenant comman- der in the near future.
 Republican gains in yesterdays balloting assuming the Republi- can nominee comes through in Idaho-give the COP. 24 governor ships to g for the Democrats. The 18th governorship went to the Wis consin Progressive. Democrats had controlled 28 state administrations while Republicans controlled 20.
 Of the B states which the Demo- crats retained yesterday, iive-Ala- hama, Arkansas, Georgia, Texas and South Carolina were in the deep south. Tn three border states-Mary- land, Oklahoma and Tennessee-the Republicans were unable to otist the Democrats although in Maryland Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin gave Democratic Gov. Herbert R. O'Conoi a close race.
 Democrats also retained control Of Nevada. North Dakota, Rhode Island Arizona and New Mexico.
 Beside Ohio the Republicans kept their grip on the politically impor- tant states Of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. They also retained Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota, Nebraska New Hampshire, oregon, South Da- iIota and Vermont, and relatively in- complete returns indicated the G O. P. would stay in power In Colo rado and Wyoming.
 Republican standard bearer in the successful fight to outs Gov. Culberi l.. Olson of California was State Att torney General Earl Warren. whose victory was in line with California; almost unbroken tradition of chang ing governors at every election.

Mayor Prank Gaines suggested to the Berkeley City Coun- cil that they simply pass the hat" instead as q means Of aileviating the city's financial strain. He said he made the suggestion as a serious one which he believed the public would welcome and respond to.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In the city OF Vienna 1873 years
ago there lived q l7-year-old boy.
His first name was Franz, but peo-
pie usually called him by his middle
name. Joseph. His family name was
Haydn.
On the day our story opens Joseph
was feeling sad. After nine years
singing in . church choir, he had
been punished and had been told to
leave the chapel house.
The master of the choir had pun
ished him because he had cut kind
OF "pigtail' from the head OF one of
the other boy singers. The real rea-
son he was told TO leave the choir
seems to have been because his voice
had cracked" Since he could no
longer sing 80 well. he was not Of
much value 10 the choir.
II was q hard thing for the youth

had spent more than half his life
His family lived in . distant part Of
Austria. His father was poor and
already had too much to do to take
care Of his other children. So Joseph
spent little time thinking Of going
back to his family home.

possessions In . small bundle, he
started to wander about the streets
