Warren Writes OF Defeat
As Will of the People

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Nov. 4
R.-Realistic Earl Warren gra-
ciously wrote off the Republican
Presidential election defeat yester-
day as the will of the people" and,
with little outward show of regret,
went back to his $4,000 Job as
Governor of California.
Although men close to the unsuc-
eessful vice presidential nominee
conceded that the decisive Demo
cratic victory had amazed and. to
some extent, disappointed Gov.
Warren, the 59-year-old Californian
accepted it in good spirit.
At a news conference immedi-
ately after he sent congratulatory
kilograms to Mr.. Truman and Sem
ator Barkley, the Governor de-
clared:
II trust that President Truman
and Senator Barkley will have the
unfailing support of Americans
everywhere in their solutions of the
Nations great problems. The elec-
tion result should be cheerfully ac-
cepted by every one as the voice
OF the people"
Without complaint or effort to ex-
plain the outcome, Gov. Warren
brushed aside questions as to what
he thought was the prime reason
for the Democratic victory.
Mr.. Truman just got too many
votes" the Governor said jestingly.

All such labor programs would
require more funds than were

Labor Department officials were
cheered especially by the fact that
in Tuesdays election sweep, the
Democrats not only regained Con-
gress control, but in so doing re-
ceived the chairmanships of the

Meanwhile, union leaders, jubi-
liant over election results, frowned
on the idea of third political party.
Publicly outspoken in that opin-
ion were Jack Kro1l, director of the
CIO-Political Action Committee,
and George Meany, secretary of the
AFL and its political league.
Similar views were expressed by
officials of the railroad brother
hoods.
A third party, basically one of
labor, has been urged by Walter
P. Reuther, president of the CIO-
Auto Workers. The question of
where to go politically will be re-
viewed at conventions of the AFL
in Cincinnati and the CIO in Port
land, Greg, beginning November 10.
MIR. Meany and Mr.. Kroll both
directly advocated strengthening of
the Democratic Party under the
leadership of Mr.. Truman.

National Guard Paper
Scores Army Digest
Rank Propaganda
By WiIIiom J. WheotIey

The move for harmony between
the Regular Army and the National
Guard has been disrupted by the
Army's official publication, an edi-
torial in the National Guardsman
has charged.
The Guardsman, published by the
politically powerful National Guard
Association, accused the Army In
formation Digest of rank propa-
ganda" in an article on the Gray
report. The report, in general, pro-
posed to put the National Guard di-
rectly under the regular establish
ment.
In this one articles" says the
editorial. the Digest has done more
to destroy confidence in the Regular
! Army, to knock down regulars after
dinner speaking expressions of ad-
miration of the National Guard, to
cast doubt on their acceptance of
policies laid down in the Constitu-
ton and by acts of Congress, to
counteract many instances of close
regular-guard teamwork, than any
other single act in recent years.

at is rank propaganda. 1t never

The militia paper asserted that
the Gray report pointed up defici-
encies in all reserve components, in
cluding those of the Navy, and even
outlined shortcomings of the Reg
ular Army. 1t even had some nice
things to say about the guard. But
these, the editorial continues, the
Digest ignored or slurred over.
That in ITSELF" it continued, "is
bad enough in a publication which
could contribute toward cementing
relations among all the components.
But the most glaring evidence of
active hostility toward the guard,
the strongest indication of propa-'
gandizing for 'slanted' viewpoint,
is found in the manner of 'decorat-
ing the article. Spotted at inter-
walls are four boxes containing ex-
cerpts from the report, spotlighting
statements which the editor evi-

Widow Gets $4,000
Award in Accident

A 54-year-old widow who con-
tended she injured herself perma
nently by falling into an unguarded
excavation at the Naylor Gardens
Apartment four years ago, yesterday
was awarded $25,000 in damages
against the Defense Homes Corp.
which owned the development al
the time.
Mrs. Frances Mcmillan, who now
lives in New York City, testified
during the trial that the accident
occurred when she was returning
home from work at the Soviet Pur-
chasing Commission, where she was
employed as secretary.
She said that, as she opened the
back door to the apartment house
located at 2807 Terrace road Sc.
she fell into an excavation in the
floor nearly 4 feet deep, which had
been made by workmen' working
on a waterproof1ng project.
Mrs. McMillian's attorney, Dorsey
K. Offutt, brought out evidence
that, as the result Of her fall, she
was in hospitals here and in Dallas,
Tex, for a year and a half. under

by some 16 doctors.
The jury deliberated four hours
before returning a verdict. The
Government agency since has sold
the apartment project to a private
operator.
Also named in the suit, originally
asking damages of $4,000, was the
Washington Ply-Rite Corp, which
had been doing the work in the
apartment house. The jury alb
solved the corporation responsibility
in the accident.
The trial took place in the court
room of Judge T. Alan Colds

Taft Act Repeal Drive
May Include Plea for
Some Labor Controls
BY the Assoeioted Press

Whatever the fate of a drive
to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act
in Congress, there appears little
prospect of a fiat return to the
New Deal Wagner labor law.
Union leaders claiming-and re-
ceiving-credit for a major share in
President Truman's upset election
victory may not be completely
happy over the final result.
For one thing, there is the real
question Of whether the new Demo-
cratic Congress will be in a mood to
wipe out the Taft-Hartley Act.
For another, it seems likely that
Mr.. Truman-despite his and the
Democratic platforms pledge for
outright repeal-will want some
legal weapons for dealing with
such as. those that affect the public
welfare.
Truman May Modify Demand.
Thus, while the President is cer-
tain to ask for repeal, he may &C
company that request or follow it
with another for less sweeping, and
what he has described as non-
punitive, measures for dealing with
certain labor situations.
The President on several occasions
has made use of the strike banning
court injunction powers in the Taft
Hartley Act, the most notable ones
were against John L. Lewis and his
United Mine Workers.
Nearly two years ago, Mr.. Tru-
man asked Congress for effective"
machinery TO control Nationwide
strikes involving the public in
terest. He called for a compre-
hensive study leading up to the
assembly OF that kind of machinery.
Compromise Held Possible.
In oruer to get rid of some parts
Of the Taft-Hartley Act which they
particularly dislike, labor leaders
conceivably might be willing to ac-
cept certain other sections-par-
ticularly If 1t looked like Congress
would balk at outright repeal. That
could lead to compromise between
Mr.. Truman, Congressional leaders
and the union chiefs who helped
return him to the White House.
Within his official family, one of
the most tireless campaigners for
Mr.. Truman was his hard-hitting
Labor Secretary, Maurice j. Tobin,
former Governor of Massachusetts,.
Among reported plans for packing
more power into the stripped down
labor portfolio is one to bring the
United States Employment Service,
the Childrens Bureau and the Con-
ciliation Service under Labor De-
partment control.
Welfare Program Due.
A move also is being pressed to
put the National Labor Relations
Board, the National Mediation Board
and related labor agencies under
Secretary Tobin's supervisor.
MI. Truman likely will seek ac-
ton, too, on his proposal to create
a Welfare Department to handle the
Social Security benefits system. He
repeatedly asked Congress to in
crease old-age payments and to
extend coverage to more workers. If
the new Congress grants this re-
quest it might call for creation of
the separate welfare agency to han
die the expansion.
If this plan goes through, the

Dewey Back at Work
after Warm Greeting
ION Return 70 Albany
kx the Assoeiotsd Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. Gov.
Dewey quietly went back about the
business of being Governor of New
York today.
The defeated Republican Presi-
dental candidate returned to the
State Capital from New York last
night just nine hours after he had
conceded the election to President
Truman.
Gov. Dewey and his family re-
ceived a warm welcome from a
crowd of several hundred persons
assembled at the station.
1t was a crowd in sharp contrast
to the yelling, shouting throngs
which greeted him on his campaign
travels.
This was a sympathetic gathering.
There was applause and some cheers,
but there was note of restraint in
keeping with Gov.> Dewey's disap-
pointment over losing the election.
Greeting by County Chairman.
The first to greet him was Ken
meth McAffer, Albany County Re-
publican chairman.
Grasping Mr.. McAffer's hand
Gov. Dewey smiled broadly and said:
How are you, Ken? 1t was nice
Of you to meet me down here"
With the Governor on the trip
from New York, where he voted and
received the election returns, were
Mrs. Dewey, their sons, Thomas, 16,
and John, 13, and the Governor S
70-year-old mother.
Aides said Gov. Dewey would take
1t easy at the Executive Mansion to-
day, attending only to the most
urgent State business.
He told a news conference in
New York yesterday he hadn't made
any plans yet for a vacation, but
that he would like to get down
to his farm home at Pawling, N. Y,
for at least a week end as soon
as possible.
At the conference Gov. Dewey
answered with a fiat mo" a ques-
tion as to whether he would run
for the Presidency a third time.
And he said any talk that he
planned to resign now as Governor
was pure fiction" His term runs
through 1850.
But he did say he had no plans
to run for the Governorship again.
He was elected in 1912 and re-
elected in 1916.
Plans to Analyze Returns.
Gov. Dewey is known to have in
mind a new career in private law
practice. Long ago he told friends
that If he missed the Presidency
this time, he would step out of
politics as soon as feasible.
After he gets some rest, Gov.
Dewey Is going to analyze the elec-
tion returns in an effort to find out
just what wrecked his White House
chances.
He said yesterday he was just as
surprised as anybody else at the
trimming Mr.. Truman gave him.
Gov. Dewey signalled the end of
one Of the Nations most amazing
presidential election scrambles when
he sent a telegram of congratula-
tions to MIR. Truman at 11:15 am.
yesterday.
The message offered "heartiest
congratulations" and every good
wish for successful administra-
ton"
Il urge all Americans" Gov
Dewey told the President, ito unite
behind you in support of every
effort to keep our Nation strong and
