for Gov. Dewey, Bullitt proclaimed
himself a lifelong Democrat Demo-
crat or not, he did receive honors
and emoluments from the Demo-
cratic administration for a good
part of the past 16 years.
His various changes Of belief
during that period eventually mace
his permanent attitudes hard to de-
termine, although he had handled
his Government posts ably and with
distinction.
Says Cycle In Complete.
"But he now seems to have re-
volved more than a full circle, from
anti-Soviet to pro-Soviet, to anti
Soviet again, and so on. The prob
lem Is to know where he will stop.
"Just how Mr.. Bullitt's current at
titudes square with those of Gov.
Dewey is another problem. His
statement indorsing the Republican
candidate assails the bipartisan
foreign policy OF the United States
in bitter terms. calling it 'deluded,
among other things.
But this probably makes little
difference to Republican leaders,
who were intent on being able to
say that they had found a Demo-
crat who indorses the Republican
candidate"

Martin BIomes q New Man
For His Poper's Slam on Dewey

New York governor could call On
Speaker Martins aged mother.
The Speaker said today that the
editorial certainly does not reflect
my views at all"
The editorial added that "Tru.
mans speeches have still less to rec.
ommend them"
Speaker Martin said he didn't
know about the editorial until he
saw q story about 1t this morning
in the Boston Post.
1T has no political significance at
ALL" he added. I'm for Dewey and
the entire Republican ticket, all the
way"
The editorial said:
1T may be an unkind act to disa-
buse your mind of the fallacious
belief that candidates contrive their
own speeches and say what they
jolly well please. But the fact is,
that back of every speech is not only
board Of strategy, but the address
has been written by men especially
trained for the job. This is true Of
both Dewey. and Truman.
Definite patterns have been set for
both men. Dewey's speeches have
been designed for tonal effect. They
must sound good. He does not scold,
but exhorts. His addresses are filled
with maxims, old and new, such as,
we need a rudder to our ship Of
state, and firm hand on the tiller.'
Sounds good, and brings the app
plause. But promises nothing. Our
country is at the crossroads of its
history Is another Dewey phrase,
old and bit trite. Dewey also still
uses profound and profoundly al
though he wore both words thread
bare in 1914"

TechnicaIities Cleared
To Place Truman on
Michigan Ballot

BY the Associated Press

LANSING, Mich, Oct. 30-Legal
technicalities that threatened for a
time to keep President Truman's
name off Tuesdays election ballot
in Michigan were cleared up late
today when the Democratic Central
Committee filed a list of its Presi-
Dental electors with State officials.
The temporary mixup developed
Friday when Secretary of State
Fred M. Alger. jr., disclosed that the
Democratic Party in Michigan had
not complied with legal require
ments that 1t file the names of
electors.
State Democratic Chairman John
r. Franco, who was in Connecticut
on business trip, few here today
and after conferences between
Democratic officials and aides in
Mr.. Ayers office the list was filed.
New Hitch Arose.
Even today, however, a new hitch
threatened to hold up the certifica-
ton of the electors.
The law requires that each party
have II electors representing the
congressional districts and two at
large.
When Mr.. Franco and Mrs. Violet
Patterson. vice chairman of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee, arrived at the Secretary of
States Office today, they submitted
a list but there were only Is names
on it.
Names Three More.
After comforting with Henry L.
Oakley, director Of the elections d.
vision, Mr.. Franco, acting under
his powers as State Central Chair
man of the Democratic Party,
named three more electors.
The list then was officialy certi-
fed.
Mr.. Franco told newspapermen
that the reason the original list
was short was that the electoral
college delegates had not been
by their districts during the
Democratic convention at Phila-
delphia.

through the United Nations Social
Committee today q human rights
amendment condemning all attacks

Amending Article 10 of draft de.
claration of human rights, the
Soviet bloc teamed with Latin
Americans in giving protection of
the law" against such attacks. Rus
STA won, 20 to 7.
Some delegates said the article
as adopted could be used to muzzle
the press and freedom Of expression.
The article states:
No one shall be subjected to ar
bitrary interference with his pri-
vacy, family, home or correspond
ence, nor to attacks on his honor
or reputation.
Everyone has the right to the

And a third time the disappointed

q third time the politician appeared,

This time, said Mr.. Truman,

ago, and declared I'D rather be
defeated than be elected under false
pretenses.'
In his discussion Of Republican
sponsored legislation in st. Louis,
Mr.. Truman asserted that the Taft
Hartley Act rs q vicious law and
1t ought to be repealed"
On the restricted price support

independence, Mo-, after the St
Louis speech, which ended a rugged
tour in the last week that brought
him to Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleve-

President Roosevelt was chatting
easily with torch-bearing Hyde Park
neighbors, telling them he would be
committing between New York and
Washington for another four years.
But while the Presidents victory
was apparent early Wednesday
morning, the APP machine did not
slow down until a. hours had

The same machine will 70 into
action Tuesday.
Quick, accurate election coverage
was not always available TO the
voters OF the Nation. Before and
after the turn OF the century it was
sometimes days and weeks before
the voters knew whom they had
elected.
Attempts were made to report the
voting, but it was a hodge podge
operation. Commercial telegraph
companies gathered some of the re.
turns. Communications were spotty,
slow and unreliable.
Reporters frequently were forced
to travel on foot, horseback-and
occasionally on chartered locomo-
tives-to obtain voting figures from
remote places.
The Associated Press worked out
its present overall system of cleo
ton coverage on the basis Of an
experiment in the 1904 New York
State election. 1t tried out the
method in the general election Of
l9l6-and it proved to be a trial by
fire. That was the year of the
famous close race between Woodrow
Wilson and Charles Evans Hughes.
Early returns gave Mr.. Hughes q
healthy lead-so healthy that politi-
clans and newspapers the country
over were claiming-or conceding-
Mr.. Hughes victory. The Associated
Press refused to name the winner
until 1t had received vote tabula-
lions from California, on whose
ballots the entire election hung.

the election-and then the APP de.

APP Force Of $4,000
10 Help in Tabu|ating
Election Returns
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-An army

election returns next week.
The Associated Press, with its
own stan, special election workers
and stans Of member newspapers
and radio stations, will total the
ballots which will elect a President
Vice President, 80 governors and
decide the complexion of the 8lst
Congress.
1t Is q vast, precise and compre-
ilensive job which the news gather
ing cooperative began planning
long before the political parties even
nominated their candidates.
Trained and specially briefed re-
porters, writer's, tabulators, clerical
workers and messengers will compile
figures taken from more than $780,
600 polling places all over the
Nation.
Big crews will work through Tues
day night putting together sta
tistics OF the vote in cities like New
York and Chicago. Lone cores
pondents will gather the results in
sparsely-settled areas in the North
woods, Western deserts and South
ern swamplands. The APPS opera
ton will blanket the Nation.
The plan itself is simple; its ex-
ecution, infinitely more complicated
Facts and figures will flow through
carefully built channels from pre-
cinct election boards. They will
merge to become County State and,
finally, national totals.
From State AP headquarters, the
totals will SNOWFALL over 100000
miles of special, leased communica-
ton lines into the APPS Washington
bureau.
There quick tabulations will show
how the Nation Is voting. Big
blackboards, covered with ever
changing figures, will show top
political writer's the picture at a
glance.
The basic job, of course, is to
collect vote figures, accurately and
speedily. And you, whether glued
to your radio or buying late edition
newspapers will know the names of
the winners as soon as the winners
themselves know. The source will
be the same: The Associated Press,
