AIeman Sees Victory,
PadiIIa Claims Fraud
In Mexican Election
by the Astoeioied Press

MEXICO CITY, July 8-Miguel
Aleman, 42-year- -old candidate of
the powerful government party
GPRn, today claimed election as
President of Mexico In balloting yes
terday which brought charges of
fraud from his principal opponent,
former Foreign Minister Ezequiel
Padilla.
Two deaths and number of minor
casualties marked the voting, in
which the army was used for the
first time In history to police polling
places. The election was regarded
as one of the most orderly in many
years.
Although the results will not be
known offlcially until Thursday
Senior Aleman declared there was no
doubt OF his election and formally
thanked the people of Mexico for
"the great honor they have confer
red upon me" His defeat would be
regarded here as tremendous poll
teal upset.
Padilla Charges Fraud.
DR.. Padilla, candidate of the
Mexican Democratic party, charged
that the election in the Federal
district, which includes Mexico City
and It's environs, was stained by
the gravest Of frauds and added
The army maintained order, but
did not have facilities to avoid
fraudulent maneuvers. -
From what happened in the Fed
eral district, where all means of
guaranteeing honest elections were
hoped for, it can be imagined what
happened in the rest of the coun-
try"
DR.. Padilla asserted his belief that
the actual popular vote favored him
overwhelmingly and added that Sin
due time we shall make statements. .
5000, 900 Votes Cast.
Approximately 10000 Mexicans
were estimated to have voted In the
elections, at which 174 deputies and

Senator Barkiey replied that to
get any legislation each branch OF
Government must get together.
TO send back the same bill
would be to show an attitude OF
intransigence that is uniustifled,
said the majority leader.
What does the Senator think OF
the Presidents intransigence?'
Senator Taft shot back.

Kentuckian's amendment, provid-

the industry wide price levels OF
1910, is meaningless"
But many Senators, weary of the
controversy and confused by the
complicated formulas, seemed in
clined to vote with the leader to
get something enacted.
An amendment by Senator
Wherry,, Republican, OF Nebraska
to aeep controls off meat and poul-
try offered a clearer-cut test.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, OF
New York, who wants those con
trolls retained, argued that if they
are retained. Secretary of Agricul-

abolish the ceilings the minute

But the betting was general that
unless some more substantial con-

may be able to force the amend

New Mexico. I was to get $4,000
a year. I have never made $4,000

PLAIN TALK

BY DAN GARDNER

I Browder, the Communist Party
almost forgot there was a Negro
problem where before BroWdei
assumed leadership of the party
the Negro was Number l on the
agenda. That is what got Angelo
Herndon off the Georgia chair
gang; what shocked the nation
into forcing by public opinion
the freeing by the State of Ala
bama most of the Scottsboro boys
what brought Richard Wright and
his Native Son" to the front
Under Browder, however, the
emphasis turned to Roosevelt and
to the Russian cause in the war.
The Catholics today are en-
gagged in relentless war with
national an international Com
munism. To rally support, they
are taking any and all who will
subscribe to the faith, including
the Negro in larger numbers than
ever before.
The Communists are now de-
batting a return to their former
active stand in championing the
cause of the Negro through the
ranks of organized labor. Yet,
in each instance quoted here, the
political or religious motive is
paramount. The human is Sec
ondary.
The subtlety of the situation is
shown in what happens to Ne
groes when the power of per-
suasion of a political belief is
allowed to range unhindered.
The way out of the dilemma is
for those of us in positions to do
so to demand with increasing
vigor and directness, more COM
plete devotion to the cause of
inter-racial amity and relation
ships than TO political and re-
ligious ideologies as price of
our trust and confidence. Sooner
or later, we must face the issue.
