Casting the largest vote in the
history of the state of Washington,
917,518 citizens went to the polls
last November 2, Secretary of
State Earl Coe reported this week
as he announced the official ballot
results. -
The total was 51,739 greater
than the previous record set in
1914, but only 20 per cent of the
registered voters cast their ballots
as compared with 81 per cent
in the last presidential election.
President Harry Truman carried
the state by 1880 over the
Republican standard-bearer Thorn
as E. Dewey, and rolled up a
total of 476,165 votes to amass
the greatest number of votes of
any candidate on the ticket. In
second place was Secretary of
State Coe with 464,863.
Henry Wallace, the candidate

on the Progressive ticket received
81 ,692 votes, but other candidates
on his ticket ran below 10000
votes. -
The total registration for the
state was 1904, 406," Coe reported.
Figuring that 10 per cent OF
these registrants have died or
moved away, gives us vote of
approximately IS per cent, which
is below the average for presi-
dental elections" he said.

Report May Determine
Assembly Hall Closing
AT I More Schools

The large, third-fioor assembly
halls at Terrell Junior High School
and the Bell Vocational School may
be closed if investigations of the
buildings reveal any major structural
defects.
This was disclosed yesterday by
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning,
who visited the schools with Board
of Education members and other
officials. The group also visited two
other third-foor auditoriums-at
Hine Junior High and Sumner Ele-
mentary Schools which already have
been closed.
Egress Rules Involved.
Basis for the shutdowns is the
city's new,fire egress regulations. he
said, which would not permit schools
to use rooms with more than $500
square feet of space above the first
floor in non-flre- -proofed buildings.
Meanwhile, public hearings were
theld on the regulations in the Dis
trict Building yesterday. Witnesses
indorsed unanimously proposals that
effective date Of the regulations be
postponed for nine months.
The present District building code
restricts use of such rooms in new
buildings, Dr. Corning said. The
new egress regulations, however,
would bar use of such rooms in all
existing buildings which are not fire.
proofed.
Reports to Decide Others.
The superintendent told reporters
the fact that the Hine and Sumner
auditoriums were cited by a fire
marshal's report in connection with
the new rules was the only reason
for closing the two rooms. He said
reports of the fire marshal and
buildings inspector on the other two
school buildings will determine
whether he also should close the
assembly halls there.
Those accompanying DR.. Corning
on the brief visit yesterday included
board members George E. c. Hayes
and Mrs. Phillip Sidney Smith. L. D.
Walker represented the District
building inspector.

Before, He Soys

DR.. Wayne C. Grover. who re-
Gently became archivist OF the
United States, is a onestime news
paper man who turned from work
concerning the immediate present
to a career bound up with the. rec
ords OF past events.
But DR.. Growers interest in ar
chives is for their usefulness In the
present, and he sees the general
public making increasing use OF the
National Archives.
"The Government is keeping more
records on more individuals than
ever before" he said, land the in
dividual will turn more and more
to those records in his own in
terest."
DR.. Grover was assistant archiv-
ist when on June 4, he succeeded
DIR. Scion J. Buck as National
Archiyist. DR.. Buck went to the
Library of Congress.
Began Work In 1885.
DR.. Grover got into archives work
in 1885, regarding it as an adjunct
to his advanced studies in political
science, and found his studies be-
came an adjunct 20 his work.
He is AZ and was born in Garland,
Utah. His ancestors had much to
do with Utah's history. Two OF
his great-grandfathers were i'll the
original company or Mormons, who
made the trek across the plains and
mountains with Brigham Young in
l847. One of them, William Clay
ton, was Young's secretary.
When a freshman at the Unlver-
sity of Utah, DR.. Grover was en-
ployed by the Associated Press at
Salt Lake City. Later he covered
sports and other university news
for the Deseret News.
After graduation he worked for
the paper full time, becoming
assistant city editor and then tele-
graph editor. At Nne time, in ad-
dition to his duties as telegraph
editor, he had to get out the weekly
book review page, the music news
and the art section. He took the
books and music in his stride, but
the art news was bit out of his
line.
Intended to Teach
He came to Washington to con-
tinue his studies intending to teach.
Interest in records management
Yeered him away from that. He
obtained a master of arts degree
from American University and, in
1916, his doctor of philosophy de-
gree. His thesis was on the records
administration of the Army, a sub
iect with which he was familiar
because of his Army service from
l943 to 1916. He left the Army as
a lieutenant colonel, after receiving
the Legion Of Merit.
