BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov 1.-THE New
York Times said today in a Wash
ington dispatch that congressional
seats won in last weeks elections
by candidates supported by the
CLOS Political Action Committee
and its ally, the National Citizens
PAC, totaled 73 in 3l8 contests.
Jack Kroll, national director of
the CIO-PAC, refused to comment
on the Times story. and officials OF
the group said the election results
would not come under study by the
PAC until next weeks convention
at Atlantic City.
The Times said, The extent OF
| the political defeat suffered" by
the CIO Committee and the Ma
tional Citizens PAC sis apparent
in the compilation, which the news
paper said embraced "a States, in
Guiding West Virginia, Kentucky,
Missouri and Maryland, but no
State in the Solid South"
The Times said a complete list OF
all PAC-supported candidates was
not available, adding, Hence it
could only be assumed that the PAC
supported a losing candidate in all,
or nearly all, 245 districts where
'unfavorable' candidates were elect
ed"
The newspaper said it was pos
siple that in a few of the districts
the PAC Endorsed no candidate.
In Senate contests in the area
which embraced North, West and
border States, the Times said, five
winners had PAC support and 2l
won over PAC opposition.
The newspaper added, "PAC
strength in the Senate will be rela-
lively greater because of the num-
Der of holdover Senators"
The Times said. Generally
speaking. the PAC supported the
Democratic candidates in the
Northern. Western and border
States and opposed the Southern
Democrats without expending any
appreciable effort in those States
since the primaries"

II Modern Warships
To Join u. 5. Fleet
Within Five Months
BY the Associated Press

Five new cruisers, half dozen
destroyers and like number of
submarines will join the fleet with
in the next five months.
Built into some of them will be
designs dictated by battle experience
of the war, including the heaviest
caliber automatic guns ever used
and inchers firing with almost
machine gun rapidity.
The cruisers are bigger than pre-
ceding ships of the same class. Some
are virtually comparable to one
time battleship tonnage.
All the hulls were laid down dur
ing the closing phases of the war
and were among those selected by
the Navy and approved by Con-
gress for completion. Other ships
of less advanced stages of construc-
ton were scrapped.
Transition Period Ships.
These ships. together with late
design craft already in commission,
will compose the fleet on which
the United States will rely during
the transition period between to-
days more or less conventional de-
sign and tomorrow's atom age war
craft.
While such ships carry on peace
time patrol, the Navy will push
ahead with its development of fu-
ture warships. Starting out ini-
TALLY with the guided missile firing
craft, the 45,000-ton battleship Ken
lucky and the battle cruiser Hawaii
Discussing the transition period,
Vice Admiral E. L. Cochrane, for
mer chief of the Bureau of Ships,
said: Ships and weapons do be-
come obsolete. Progress in any field
of endeavor presumes the gradual
replacement of old equipment.
Fortunately, we do not abandon
time-tested weapons when the first
crude prototype of a new and more
powerful weapon makes its appear
ance"
The new ships will include the
light cruisers Worcester and Roa-
noke and the heavies Des Moines,
Salem and Newport News.
Major Changes in Battery.
The official Navy publication All
Hands reports that the major
change in the two light cruisers is
found in their batteries, twelve s.
inch rapid-fire guns for use against
surface or air targets and mounted
in twin turrets, three forward and
three aft. The ships will abandon
the dual-purpose 5-inch guns ia
miliar as major aircraft defense on
Navy and merchant ships during
much of the war. The light cruisers
.displace 14,70O tons, compared with
the 10000 tons for a similar class OF
previous design.
The heavies-the Des Moines,
Salem and Newport News-will
mount nine 8-inch automatic rifles
in three turrets. They displace
1900 tons, drastic departure from
13,600 tons of the earlier class.
The Worcester, Roanoke and Des
Moines are scheduled to go into
the Atlantic Fleet, the Newport
News to the Pacific. The Salem's
assignment is still to be announced.
All of the submarines to be COM
missioned before next spring are
of the heavy-hulled types which
served well in the Pacific undersea
war and stood up notably under the
atomic bomb blasts in the Bikinl
tests last summer. s~-----..; ys-.=zs-as
