Truman's S Lead in Ohio Cut
To 6,817 as Error Is Found
ey the Associoted Press

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.-The Guy
ahoga Board of Elections reported
today that Gov Dewey ran lot
closer to President Truman than
every one thought.
What happened, the board said
was that some big errors were made
in counting here, giving Mr.. Tru.
man 10,518 votes more than he de-
served.
That figure is official in Cuyahoga
County. Deducting it from the still
unofhcial Statewide figure, the
Presidents plurality over Gov
Dewey was only 6,817 instead OF
1885.
1t was the biggest mistake in the
boards recent history, and Chair

methods can be improved next time

Truman Is an amiable man. He
can amiably leave these people to

Taft May Face Struggle
With Liberal 6. 0.P,
On Senate Leadership
BY the Assoeioisd Press

The possibility that Senator Taft
Of Ohio may decide to give up his
Senate Republican leadership post
p being discussed in congressional
eircles.
sss@sSenator Taft, now in Europe, may
face fight If he wants to remain
d chairman of the Senate Repub-
Man. Policy Committee. r.
Some colleagues who class them
telvese as Republican Liberals al
ready are calling for a shakeup in
their high command.
Their contention is that the
Eecord OF the Republican, controlled
Eightieth Congress-which Senator
Taft helped write-contributed not
only to the defeat of Gov. Dewey,
but to the party's loss of both
houses in the November z election.
There is little doubt that If these
Republicans make an issue of this
contention, Senator Taft would
fight to retain the leadership.
1850 May Influence Decision.
tOn the other hand. some of the
Ohio Senator's friends say that If
Senator Taft isn't challenged open
II, he may wish to step out of his
own accord.
They point out that Taft faces a
reelection battle in Ohio in 1850.
President Truman carried the State,
which also elected a Democratic
Governor.
Senator Taft may figure, his
friends said, that any formal lead
ership duties would take so much
time they would hamper his re-
election campaign.
.As the situation stands, Senator
Taft will go off the policy body auto
matically unless the Republican
Senators change the rules they
adopted two years ago to rotate
policy committee memberships:
Those rules can be changed by a
majority vote.
Showdown Due in Conference.
If there is to be a fight against
Senator Taft, the showdown will
come when all Republican Senators
meet in conference to organize their
forces for the new Congress.
At this point, unofficial nose
counts indicate the Republicans
might split about evenly for and
against continuing the Ohio Senator
In his position of power.
II Senator Taft decides not to
make a fight for the policy chair
manship, it is considered likely that
some other Office will be created to
five him an official position.
The same Republican insurgents
Who want to get rid of Senator Taft
also are cunning for Senator
Wherry of Nebraska, who acted as
party floor leader in the last few
months of the present congress.
Millikin May Be Choice.
Senator Wherry has been one OF
the chief critics of President Tru-
mans domestic and foreign pro-
posals. He was one Of the few who
voted against the European Recov-
cry Program, yet won reelection.
There is less grumbling among
the insurgents about Senator Milli-
kin of Colorado, chairman of the
Republican conference He might
even serve as compromise choice
II battle develops.
!. Senator Vandenberg Of Michigan,
who steps down as president pro
tempore of the Senate when the
Democrats take over January 3, also
has been suggested as possible
compromise.
There are some signs that Sen
ator vandenberg thinks a change
In leadership should be made. But
there are no signs that he wants
to increase with domestic tasks the
burden he has been carrying in
directing Republican activities in
fpreipn affairs.

Cooperation In HASTE Admins
tration Termed Deplorable

The streets of Charlotte Anna
lie, lovely old capital of the Vir-
gin Islands, were thronged with
happy islanders when William
Henry HASTE was inaugurated as
governor in May, 1916. But to-
day, Governor HASTE is having his
troubles.
The Virgin Islands are, suffer-

about by the collapse of the war

Gov. Hastie's notable compos-
ure and courtesy are being tested
to the limit in this insular pos
session where "feud and factions,
| jealousnies and schisms flourish
like the collage in luxuriant pro-
FUSION" according to Mr.. Smith.
The bright-eyed young idealists
whom Mr.. HASTE encouraged
while he was an assistant solicit
tor in the Interior department,
have gained control of the island
legislature, and are now doing
much to embarrass the governors
administration.
Nearly all the local politicians
and legislators are Negro, as is
Gov. HASTE, but conflicts have
arisen, Nh. Smith says. "To a
man of Hastie's strict views and
rigorous constitutional training,
the doings of the legislators were
deplorable," he writes. "To him
their procedures seemed slipshod,
their fiances loose, their hunger
for patronage and privilege ex-
cessive. Moreover, the collapse of
