Dewey Grip Slipping
In Michigan in Face
I0f Democratic Sweep
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

DETROIT, Nov. 3.-Gov. Dewey
floundered ahead Of a Democratic
State sweep today in an effort to
hold onto Michigan's 10 electoral
votes.
A lead of 100000 voted piled up by
the Republican candidate dwindled
to about $1,000 with fewer than zoo
of the States 1902 precincts yet to
report. A Democratic tide in the
industrial Detroit afea threatened
to overwhelm him as organized labor
scored stunning victory. =
Unofhcial returns gave Gov. Dewey
864,341 votes to $50, ,488 for President
Truman with 1862 precincts counted
out of 1902. ].
COP Governor Comedies.
Gov. Kim Sigler. the Republican
incumbent, conceded defeat to DEM
ocrat G. Mennen Williams after he
fell 100000 votes behind. Gov. Sigler's
entire State COP ticket appeared in
danger of going under with him.
Unless the Michigan-born Dewey
could lengthen his vote-getting
stride, he faced the possibility of
running into the same trouble he
did four years ago against Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
In 1914 Gov. Dewey carried out
state Michigan by over 215, 900 votes
but the margin was swallowed up by
Mr.. Roosevelt's $4,000 plurality in
the Detroit area. Gov. Dewey lost
the State by 22.476 votes.

Panic Succeeds Alarm.
For after midnight deepening
alarm swept the gaily- hammered
room. The faces of the crowd were
a slow-motion study of confidence,
changing from surprise to doubt,
from doubt to disbelief-and then
on to stunned fear and panic.
AS Mr.. Truman bobbed up like a

Gallup Cites Truman

And Undecided List
by The Associated Pres.

NEW YORK. Nov. 3.-The Gallup
Poll, which predicted safe margin
for Gov. Dewey, early today gave
two reasons why President Truman
piled up such a big vote:
l. He "recaptured" many votes
from Henry A. Wallace.
2. A lot of the undecided" voters
In the poll voted for Mr.. Truman.
DR.. George Gallup's American In
stitute of Public Opinion predicted
In its final announcement Monday
that Gov. Dewey would get 49.5
per cent of the vote and Mr.. Tru-
man AS per cent.
At am. today, with Truman's
popular vote more than I, 800, 600
ahead Of Gov. Dewey's, q Gallup
spokesman issued this statement:

THE polls without exception
showed steady decline throughout
the campaign In Mr.. Wallace's fol-
lowing, but on election day his sup
port skidded sharply.
Polls earlier in the year showed
that what votes the Progressive
candidate would receive would come
almost entirely from the Democratic
Party.
"Over 100000 voters remained
undecided on their presidential
choice right up to the week before
election. Obviously substantial num-
bers Of these undecided voters cast
their ballots for President Truman.

Government employees be entitled to
all the sick leave that they accrue.
Incidentally, the council rejected

that the first day Of any period of

This proposal, it was argued, would
