Gov. Dewey prepared to 60 back to
Albany late today to resume his
duties as Governor. His term still
has two years to run and there have
been many predictions that he
would seek the Republican presi-
dental nomination again in 1948,
despite the party tradition against
giving second chance to those who
have failed.
When a reporter, clasping his
hand. said: Better luck in l948,'
the Governor smiled and replied:
Il have no illusions about that"
Congratulated on the race he had
made, Gov. Dewey said:

have to take back"
President Roosevelt had said at
Boston last Saturday night that
never before in my lifetime has a
campaign been filled with such rep
resentations, distortion and false

When another reporter shook
hands with him, Gov. Dewey re-
marked that we've had good

after the latter had gone on the air
to concede the fourth-term victory.
Throughout the long election
night the President sat at table
in the dining room of his Hyde Park
home, totaling up the progress of
the voters reply to his bid for an
unprecedented l6 years in the White
House.
Appears on Portico.
Hours before the returns were
conclusive, the President appeared
on the portico of his Hyde Park
mansion to tell his torchlight-pa-
rading neighbors:
Il think you're a little previous,
but it looks very much like I'll have
to be coming up here on the train
from Washington for another four
years"
Only his closest personal friends
and aides were with Mr.. Roosevelt
as he kept abreast of the voting.
He said he was in constant COM
munication with all parts of the
country.
While the President followed the
progress Of the returns, guests in
his home sat about radio. loud
speakers listening to the election
reports. But the President came
out only once-to talk with the
torch-light paraders.
Determined to have their show
win, lose or draw" as Hyde Park
Supervisor Elmer Van Wagner put
it--the Presidents Hyde Park neigh
oors showed up at the gates of his
estate at 11:15 o'clock last night.
Fifteen minutes later they were
listening to the President, who sat
on the porch, wrapped in the Navy
cape which was his favorite gar
ment during the campaign.
Partial to Hyde Park.
Eve just have partial returns" he
grinned, but they seem to be par
tial to Hyde Park"
The President told them he would
be perfectly happy to come back
here for good" a statement he made
at the start of the campaign when
he told Democratic National Chair
man Robert E. Hannegan he would
make the race only because of the
urgency of the war.
The Presidents three executive
secretaries-Stephen Early, William
D. Hassett and Maj. Gen. Edwin
M. Watson, his military aide-were
with him during the night. At his
side much of the time as he kept
count of the returns was Miss Grace
Tully, his personal secretary. Also
with him were Admiral William D.
Leahy, his personal chief of staff,
and Rear Admiral Wilson D. Brown,
naval aide.
Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, the
Presidents special counsel, and Rob-
ert Sherwood, the playwright who
left an Owl job to join the fourth
term campaign, were at the Roose-
yelt mansion through the early part
OF the evening, but left shortly after
the President made his talk to the
Hyde Park villagers.
Shortly before he went off to bed.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent kilograms to
Senator Truman, his vice presi-
dental running mate; to Vice Presi-
dent Wallace and Mr.. Hannegan.

Victory Of Roosevelt
Is Hailed in Britain,
Russia and China
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
: LONDON, Nov. 8.-London's three
evening newspapers all bannerlined
President Roosevelt's reelection,
and editorials hailed the result.
Above all," said the London Star
editorially, ''he has now authority
to act, without fear of electoral con-
tradiction, in the setting up OF the
world security council. He can meet
; Mr.. Churchill and Marshal Stain
again backed by terrific vote of
confidence to win the war outright
and the peace"
The Evening Standard said: 1.-The
triumvirate whom all the world re-
gard as the supreme architects of
victory face future tasks every whit
as colossal and inspiring as the
grim conduct of the war" !.
The Evening News, saying Britain
had kept its lips sealed in an atti-
tude OF elaborate impartiality dur
Ing the campaign, observed:
1T would be hypocritical to pre-
tend that President Roosevelt did
not have our friendly, If unspoken,
wishes in the fight"
America will hit even harder
now that all her belligerency can
be used for export" the News de.
clared.
MOSCOW, Nov. 8 R.-Early
election bulletins showing President
Roosevelt leading were received
with elation in the Soviet Union
early today. The Russians frankly
favored his reelection.
Gov. Dewey was regarded here
as compromised by the support of
anti-Soviet factions in the United
States. His utterances concerning
the Communist danger" within the
United States created a chilly at
mosphere among Russian observers.
CHUNGKING, Nov. 8 (P.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's reelection put
Chungking in happy mood today,

of all-out American collaboration in
world organization, specifying that
the United States representative on
the United Nations Council should
have power to act in crises without
specific reference to Congress. Mr..
Roosevelt's overwhelming victory
may be regarded as public indorse-
ment of this stand.
Thus the President has distinct
advantage over President Wilson,
who pledged American cooperation
bulwarking peace, only to be re-
pudiated by his own Congress.
In addition to the Dumbarton
Oaks plan, Mr.. Roosevelt and the
British and Russian chiefs of gov
ernment undoubtedly would discuss
the postwar treatment of Germany
and possibly the war in the Far
East. An indication Of the success
of another big three" meeting, the
first since Teheran, was given Mon
day when Premier Stain in a pub
lie speech said that the problems
raised at Dumbarton Oaks were not
insoluble and, for the first time,
branded Japan as an "aggressor'
nation. This offered new hope here
that once Germany surrenders the
Soviet Union may join in defeating
Japan.
Diplomatic observers here believe
1t likely that Mr.. Roosevelt will ac-
cept the announced invitation OF
Gen. Charles de Gaulle to visit
Paris, accompanied by Secretary OF
State Hull. Mr.. Churchill and
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden OF
Great Britain already plan q visit
to the French capital, and 1t is
considered probable that the four
will meet there.
May Go On to Moscow.
It is unlikely that they would be
joined there by Premier Stain, who
has insisted on remaining close to
Moscow. It is thought probable
that the American and British lead
ers would later 60 on to some point
nearer Soviet territory, or possibly
to Moscow itself to confer with Pre-
mier Stain.
On the Argentine problem the
State Department has been mark
ing time pending the election. This
has by mere chance become tied up
with security planning for the rea-

 Dr. Kelley had distinguished career in music and his compositions had va riety and color Many of them were de- scriptive in nature, such as his tale of Gulliver, his voyage to Lilliput. Then again his fancy was caught by the theme of Pilgrims Progress" which he trans lated into musical form. "Alice in Won derland" a pantomime suite was another of his colorful pieces. The last named had it's premier at one of the famous Norfolk (Conn.) festivals.

Sweet Home?

Regimentation is an overworked bogey but situation has come up in which it seems proper to rear regimenta- tion's ugly head and scare the daylights out of everybody while there is yet time.
 In the latest issue of '"Tomorrow's Town" put out by the National Commit tee on Housing, there is the suggestion by a California architect that the plan ming of house is not the business of an amateur (meaning the unimportant creature who is merely going to build, pay for and live in the dwelling) but of professional. There is the further Sug gestion that the FILA give preference to professionally designed houses in inSur- ing home loans. We hope this idea doesn't make any headway Planning ones own house is, like parenthod, one of the chief reasons for and joys of domeSticity though fewer people achieve it. Those who do usually employ professional help.
 But certain creative artists can do their own planning, enjoy it, and do it well. For them we speak.
 Can it be that we are coming to the point where mans home is not his castle unless the turrets and battlementS bear the professionals stamp and the Federal Housing Administration OK? Will the desire for an enclosed back porch become matter of bureaucratic con- cern? If so, let us raise howl before new generation comes along to whom the strains of "Home, Sweet Home" will be as meaningless as jungle chant.

 Government power monopolies make no bones about using public funds, and bringing political pressure to bear to force private power companies out or business in areas which they seek to monopolize. Not only this, but they de- mand tax exemption and they refuse to recognize state regulatory authorities, and make rates to suit themselves.
