the first visitors were determined to

all sides.
Then it began
President Truman took the popu-
lar vote lead. The total vote
mounted. The President hung to
that lead, saw it grow. People be-
gan really to look at the scoreboard.
But they just couldn't believe it.
Attorney General Clark and Sec
retary Of Agriculture Brannan
came In early as did Frances
Perkins. Secretary OF Labor in New
Deal days and now a civil service
commissioner. Army Secretary
Royal also was on hand to hear
the results and take part in a tele-

Democrats strolled through some
80 offices and anterooms of their
headquarters listening to a dozen
radios or watching a televisioll
screen These returns were sup
lplemented by scores Of long distance
telephone calls coming in from OBJ
servers in critical States through
out the country.
In the center of the nerve system
collecting the latest congressional
race totals was Leslie L. Biffle, Sec
retary of the Democratic Policy
Committee, checking Senate re-
turns, and Victor Hunt Harding,
secretary of the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, In
charge of House results.
Around midnight, Welburn May
ock, counsel for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. put the party
chieftains' feelings in these words:
"The most comforting thing about
this situation is how strongly we
can rely on the Judgment of the
American people and how little we
can rely on radio commentators. the
popular press and other channels of
public information.
Propaganda Barrage Seen.
II think the American people will

propaganda barrage ever turned
loose in this country"
Headquarters of the two third

The Thurmond headquarters did
not even bother with score board.

concession, its downtown dial equip
ment was overloaded with flood OF
calls-apparently people trying to
telr others Of the news.
The furry lasted about 10 minutes
but no estimate of the extra calls
was available.
The excitement in Washington
today was In sharp contrast to
yesterdays apathy.
Tables Are Turned on Parties. d.
More than 5000 Republicans had
gathered at the Hotel Statler to
cheer-and went away in stunned
silence. At least 1000 Democrats
came to their headquarters pre-
pared to mourn-and went away
gaping and incredulouS.
The Republicans had taken over
the entire mezzanine Of the Statler,
especially rented for the night,
while the Democrats made less ex-
pensive use Of their party offices on
che Ring Buildings second floor.
In general the District was apa-
thetic about the election, perhaps
because its legal residents have no
vote in the great quadrennial ex-
preston Of the popular will. Police
reported q quiet election night,
although nearly the entire force Of
l,7o0 officers were on duty from 10
to IL pm.
Hotel Quarters Deserted.
The Statler's presidential room
and the many other banquet and
meeting rooms were well labeled
with signs reading "Welcome-Vic-
tory Election Returns" The crowd
came early and in an obvious jub-
liant mood, confident that the poll
takers were right in predicting a
Dewey sweep. BY am. today there
were only Is persons left, s1umped
in chairs in q television viewing
room. The presidential room was
empty, the huge presidential State
scorecard that covered nearly one
entire wall still marked with re-
turns hours old. Two men sat dole
fully at press ticker in an adjoin-
ing room devoted to returns in
House races. Floors everywhere
were Uttered with cigarette butts,
remnants of q nervous night.
When the news Of Gov. Dewey's
concession was flashed over the
radio, the Republican headquarters
already was being dismantled. The
big tally board was taken down to
make room for the new days en-
gagernents for the various banquet
rooms.
Republican National Chairman
Hugh D. Scott, jr., reached his
room in the Statler Hotel, had no
comment other than to say he had
phoned congratulations to the DEM
ocratic chairman, Senator McGrath
Of Rhode Island.

was still thick, especially in the tele-
vision room, these were the kinds Of
remarks a reporter could hear on
all sides:

tQaC Truman ledQ.
Il don't think we're going to bed
so early tonight"
We'll go to South America"
And then there was the man who
had the reason for the debacle:
What they didn't assess was the
labor vote-the silent vote. They
figured Wallace would get too. much
of it."
He shook his head sadly.
Only national Republican figure
on hand at the Statler was National
Chairman Scott. Confident at first,
he grew harder and harder for re-
porters to catch as the night went
on into dawn.

Even more intriguing is the "wtch's brew"
apparently being prepared to "cook the
goose of Wellington d. Rankin. Reports
are that a couple of months ago Governor
Ford and Tom Davis had ''tete-te" in the
latter's law office in Butte Shortly there
after Davis announced his availability for the
u. S. senate nomination. After all, since it
is common knowledge that Wellington D. and
Sam are nomnally of the same branch of the
Republican party, ticket headed by them
would not be likely to encourage the kind of
enthusiastic ral-and-financial support
from the COP old guard necessary for a sue
cessfu party ticket. Someone had to be sac
rificed, and since Sam presently has higher
official status plus the machine of political
'in'', Wellington was stuck. His head must
go-for the sake of party harmony. That's
a shame. For more than 80 years he's been
a stalwart in his party ranks, never swerving
from party loyalty no matter how tough the
going. During the depression" years Well
ington was in there pitching doing his utmost
to keep the party from falling apart-and

expediency and attempts to build an iron
curtain around him. With his staunch

Rumors floating around the corridors of
the state capitol indicate that an alliance
between the Ford-W heller machine and the
COP old guard may either be in process, or
may be fat accomp That such an ALI
ance may be effective and victorious,
couple of heads must fall Those who are
about to lose their heads, rumor has it, are
Wellington d. Rankin and Leonard Young.
Word already is to the effect that Leonard
will drop his sights just notch, and file for
secretary of state. This to save embarrass-
ment to Governor Ford, since, the one strong
point in Young's pre-filing campaign for the
COP gubernatOrial nomination has been
chase the Democrats out of the state house.
Should Young stay in the race and energetic
ally stump the state on this issue it could
prove most embarrassing to governor who
has consistently drawn men from the opposi-
ton party to head up departments. The
Young line of attack - isn't there a suffi-
cheney of good men in COP ranks to fill these
jobs without having to go into the camp of
the enemy-not only has merit, but is loaded
with dynamite--for Governor Ford. So, it is
rumored, the boys debating Republican pol
icy, are in the process of eliminating" Mr.
Young from the race by having him go for
secretary of state, and thus increase pros
poets of party harmony from now until No

WaShingtOn-F P-MaiOr improve
ments in the old age and survivors in

ity Act were recommended April 81
by the social security advisory coun-
Gil appointed by the Senate finance
committee.
The recommended changes are adj

the system as it is today: limited COW
erage and inadequate benefits. Serv-
ing on the council which drew it up
are ALL Social Insurance Director
Nelson II. Cruikshank and CLIO Vice
President Emil Rieve.
Some of the major changes the re-
port calls for are:
1. Bringing self-employed workers,
including farmers, under the act with
tax l " times that paid by employees.
Regular coverage of farm employees
and those working in non-profit insti-
tutions who are now excluded.
2. Launching government study
