Citizens Association last night de-
cided to leave action on the proposed

Here is the >AFGE legislative
program:
l. Increase Immediately the Gin
adequate base pay of all Government
employees so as to bring it into line
with the rising cost of living and
with the rates in private industry.
2. General overhauling of the Fed

3. A five-day, 35-hour Federal
workweek.
4. Opposition to any attempt to
reduce the Governments present
annual and sick leave benefits.
5. Subsistence allowance of $40
per day for employees in travel status
and cents per mile for official use
of privately owned automobiles.

Dewey Only 24 Electoral Votes
Short Before Campaigns Start

Gov. Dewey had so to IS per cent
of the majority total, Mr.. Truman
40 to IS per cent.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Oregon.
30 TO 40 POINTS APART.
3 Electoral Votes.
In each of the following States
Gov. Dewey had IS to 10 per cent
OF the major party total, Mr.. Thu
man IS to 80 per cent:
Maine, Vermont.
Absence from this list, OF course,
does not mean that the State is
likely to 60 to Mr.. Truman. Some
of the remaining States are estab-
lished for him, some for Gov. J,
Strom Thtrmond. The balance are
pivotal-i.e., less than 10 points
apart. Some of them may later be
established for Mf. Truman, some
for Gov. Dewey. New York, for
example, is considered pivotal on
the Dewey side for the present be-
cause Gov. Dewey is less than 10
points ahead of Mr.. Truman.
Gov. Dewey's heavy lead in these
20 States is partly because the vote
for other parties has cut into the
Truman vote. In addition, his lead
represents a shift of previous Dem
ocrats to the Republican presiden-
tial candidate, and also it means
that many Democrats may stay
home.
Only one Of the Mountain States
seems fairly certain for Gov. Dewey.
Generally, the Northern farm belt
is definite and SO is the central
section, but Missouri is not on the
list, and Minnesota does not quite
reach 55 per cent. In the East the
fixed States do not include Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island or New York.

Johnson Takes Fiohf
On Ballot Injunction
To Appeals Court
by the Assoeiot~d pre.x

HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 24.-Rep-
resentatlve Lyndon johnson tries
before a Federal Appeals Court
judge today to stop a lower court
ORDER which is keeping his name
off the general election ballot as
Democratic nominee for United
States Senator.
His attorneys came here for ap-
pearance before Federal Circuit
Judge j. c. Hutcheson, jr., seeking
speedy relief from a temporary in
junction granted Coke R. Stevenson.
May Go to Supreme Court.
II Judge Hutcheson should issue
a stay of execution of the injunction
it would have the effect of telling
the Texas secretary of state to put
Mr.. Johnson,s name on the Novem-
Der ballot
Failure of his appeal efforts in
the Circuit Court would leave the
United States Supreme Court as
Mr.. Johnson's next and last re-
course.
The injunction was issued in a
suit in which Mr.. Stevenson asks
that after a trial on merits he be
declared Texas Democratic nominee
for the Senate instead of Mr.. Jonn-
son. The order was signed yester-
day in Dallas by Federal District
Judge T. Whitfield Davidson.
Mr.. Johnson's attorneys said an
appeal would be made to the 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals at New Or
leans. Judge Hutcheson is presiding
Judge of that court.
Investigation Ordered.
Meanwhile, Judge Davidson went
ahead with plans for an lnvestlga-
ton of August % second primary
voting in the South Texas counties
of Jim Wells, Zapata and Duval
He named two investigators and
said that as part of their powers
they could open ballot boxes and
examine poll tax lists.
Mr. Stevenson's suit-fled after
the State Democratic convention
had certified Mr. Johnson the win
ner by 81 votes-charged that voting
frauds in Jim Wells. Zapata, and
Duval Counties had deprived Mr..
Stevenson of the nomination.

But Gov. Laney, making his last

He was expected to continus his
double -barreled assault on the Pro
gressives and the Republicans as he
wound up his bid for CALIFORNIA; S

Calls Progressives Powerless.
Besides putting the Communist
label on the Wallace party leader
ship. but without mentioning the
former Vice President, former
member of his cabinet. the President
told liberals" that another and
very practical reason why it is folly
to put hope in the Third Party was
the Third Party has no power in
the Government and no chance OF
achieving power. The simple fact is
that the Third Party cannot achieve
peace because it is powerless. 1t can
not achieve better conditions here
at home because it is powerless.
To vote for the third party under
such conditions would, he said, only
weaken the efforts OF the Demo-
cratic Party to build q healthy Ma
ton and a peaceful world and 1t
would also play into the hands of
the Republican forces of reaction. y
Liberals should unite and not
waste their votes, he concluded.
Problem Is California.
The Progressive Party is a par
ticular problem in California. where
left wing CIO unions, especially
those led by Harry Bridges, are
defying the National CIO leadership
of Philip Murray, who is for Presi-
dent Truman, and are backing Mr.
Wallace
The California political leaders
who rode across the State with Mr.
Truman had been urging some
statement on this issue. Estimates
of the Wallace vote in California
vary, but the latest public opinion
poll which the President saw before
he made his Los Angeles speech
placed it at per cent, which, on
an anticipated vote of about 5,0OO,-
900, would amount to 250,000
The tempered appeal to liberals

Mr.. Wallace was the only new thing
in the Los Angeles speech. The
President continued to taunt the
Republican candidate, Gov. Dewey
who speaks there tonight. to declare
himself on specific issues. He saio
this was "a championship fight
and nobody deserved to win it by
running away from the record OF
ducking the issues"
