NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The COM
bined assault of the Democratic and
American Labor parties, plus Re-
publican detection, failed to unseat
Representative Fish, pre-Pearl Har-
Dor isolationist and frequent critic
of President Roosevelt's policies.
Complete unofficial returns from
the Presidents home congressional
district, the 26th. gave Mr.. Fish
1872 votes to 1881 for Ferdinand

Dewey, Republican Governor elect,
and Wendell Willkie, the party's
nominee for President in 1910, called
for Mr.. Fish's defeat before the
COP primary, but did not participate
in the inter-party battle.
Although the President took no
active part in the district campaign,
two high administration officials,
James V. Forrestal, Undersecretary
of the Navy, and Robert E. Patterson,
Undersecretary of War, both resi-
dents of the district, urged that Mr..
Fish be retired from the post he has
held since 1920. ......
Mr.. Fish claimed victory last night
and in statement charged that the
campaign against him was based
on abuse and vilification."
1T was planned and organized for
months by the Communists, Reds
and left-wing New Dealers to
impugn my character, patriotism
and Americanism in order to deceive
the people and to purge me for
trying to keep America out of war
unless attacked, and for outspoken
opposition to the RECOMMENDATION and
collectivism of the New Deal and
its Gestapo methods that threaten
free government" he said.
