DEMOCRATS VICTORIOUS
AS NATIONS RETURNS
NEAR COMPLETION

BY contrast the Democratic mar
gin over the Republicans in the
present House is only two seats
with minor party members holding
( four and five vacancies.
With five Senate contests unde-
cided, the Democrats seemed as
sured of maintaining at least their
present strength.
Meantime, the nation bound up
its election wounds and settled
down to 's-get-on-with-th e-war
attitude.
Let us unite to win the war and
to achieve lasting peace" was the
solemn request of Mr.. Roosevelt as
he prepared to return to Washing
ton from Hyde Park. This was the
attitude, too. of Dewey.
In the domestic field of Republic
can-Democratic strife, here was
the Democrats winning score:
Presidential-Ro ahead in
35 states with Alb electoral votes;
Dewey in Is with lis.
Popular Vote-Q1S,6S5 of 130,S10
voting units) Roosevelt 23,610,5S7;
Dewey, 20,743.26S; total vote, 44,-
.339.1S2.
Senate-Democrats elected 10,
including Barkley. Downey, Wag-
ner, Tydings, Taylor. Mcmahon.
Hayden, Thomas (Okla), Thomas
UTAH. Magnuson and Lucas. out
side the Solid South. John Moses,
Democrat, beat Nye. Republican, in
North Dakota. Republicans elected
IL, two in Oregon and one each in
Kansas, Massachusetts,, New Hamp-
shire, South Dakota, Vermont,
Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Col
orado Five seats undecided. Re-
publican William E. Jenner won in
Indiana for term ending January 8,
not to serve in new Congress.
House-Democrats elected 241
(21S is majority, and took 80 seats
from Republicans. Republicans
elected 179 including six seats held
by Democrats and two by minor
parties. Minor parties elected two.
Undecided seast, 10.
Governor-Democrats elected IA
ARIZONA, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho,
Missouri, New. Mex
leo. North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode

ed II Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa,
Indiana. Kansas. Maine-0n Sep
TENDER IL, Nebraska, Illinois, Mich
igan, Minnesota, South Dakota,
Montana, New Hampshire, North
Dakota. Colorado, Wisconsin and
Vermont.
Into the tasks of war and peace,
Mr.. Roosevelt thus carries mighty
new strength-strength that Wood
row Wilson was badly lacking
when. with a war won. he fell into
endless arguments with an un-
Congress about the peace.
Mr.. Roosevelt's vote of confidence
will still be fresh as he heads into
IN expected talk before Christmas
With Stain and Churchill. |

Jim Deputy Sees
Action In China
CONTINUED from First Page,

Commissioned as a second lieu
tenant in July, 1943. he was order
ed to Camp Croft, S. c., and from
that post overseas. He arrived in
Indian in October. 1913.
After a month in India, he was
sent to China to join Y-Force. the
American military organization
which trained and equipped the
armies of the Chinese Expeditionary
Force for the current Salween
Campaign to drive the Japs from
Western Yunnan preparatory to
reOpening the famed Burma Road.
For several months Deputy serv-
ed with the forward echelon head
quarters of large liaison team en-
gagged in this Y-Force training pro-
gram.
He was variously motor officer.
headquarters commandant, mess
officer. adjdtant and supply officer.
When the Chinese launched the
Salween offensive early in May.
Y-FOrce sent liaison teams with
each attacking unit, to advise the
Chinese commanders and to assist
the troops with medical and tech
nical advice.
Deputy is now motor officer for
a rear headquarters of a group of
these teams. He is stationed i'm
huge YFOrce compound, in an
ancient Chinese city surrounded by
twenty-foot high medieval stone
walls.
On one occasion the lieutenant
crossed the Salween into the COM
bat area for the purpose of paying
the Y-Force personnel in the field.
Returning to the field headquar-
tiers after several days of paying
scattered units. the commanding
officer called him in and said:
Deputy, l don't know whether
I'm going to let you pitch your
tent here tonight or not"
There had been little action in
the area for three weeks, but every
where Deputy went, something hap
pened. He relates:
Il went up on a forward obser-
walton post on a hill. and the Jap
cut loose on us. Onlys a
mask (hilD in front of us saved
us. for it caught all the shells.
which landed about fifty yards
from our position. swore there /
were four thousand shells, but the I
colonel said there were about fifty
or sixty"
At any rate, according to Deputy.
there were enough shells for his
taste-especially after a piece of
flying metal from burst put a
dent in his steel helmet.
Later, while driving down the
Burma Road. Jap Zeros strafed the
road, and Deputy had to scramble
for a ditch. He was uninjured, but
two Chinese just in front of the
leep were killed.
Wherever he went. the front
seemed to spring into life, causing
he Y-Force commanding officer in
hat vicinity to debate the wisdom
If allowing the lieutenant to pitch
his tent at the headquarters.
Deputy, who is first degree
Mason in Temple Lodge, No. 8, Mil
ord, is married, and his wife and
wo children, Sandra, 8 years, and
lois, years. also live in Milford.

please everyone. but America
is still America and there is
freedom, in great measures,

still let our big effort be to-
