Police arrested all three and
later released them in SIS bond
for appearance in WOmen's
Court last Thursday on disorder
ly conduct complaints.
Other reports to Progressive
headquarters covered almost
every type of voting regularity.
A Democratic election judge
marked a judicial ballot for a
straight Democratic vote. A
Republican precinct captain was
electioneering inside a polling
place. A Democratic pre-
cinct captain barred a Progress
i've poll watcher from the poll
ing place.
A cop was drunk in polling
place. There was chain vot-
ing. '"Floaters" were being
bribed openly on the sidewalk
outside a polling place A
gun was pulled on Progressive
poll watcher.
Three ''gOOns" beat up a Pro-
gressive poll watcher inside a
polling place and the policeman
on duty refused to take action.
Two thirds of those who
voted in one precinct were not
on the list of registered voters.
The election judges, instruct
ing voters in the use of voting
machines, told them only how to
vote t h e straight Democratic
ticket. The levers on vot-
ing machines in several precincts
would register Democratic and
Republican votes, but not Pro-
gresSive ballots. The cleo
ton u d G e S in one precinct,
shorthanded, illegally appointed
a precinct captain TO fill the va
cancy.

The Illinois delegation to the

election.
Highpoint of vote tabulations
still unofficial for Cook
County Progressives was the
sweeping victory of all Progress
sive-supported liberal Demo
Gratis, and the unseating of sew
eral isolationist incumbents.
Dean of the House of Repre-

J. SABBATH, a Roosevelt liberal,
stole the Congressional election
show. In the final vote totals,
SABBATH led COP candidate,

One Progressive commented
that he didn't believe that there
had been more vote frauds than
usual

he explained.
William Miller, state director
of the new party, said that there
will definitely be.a recount de-
manded in the 18th district if
Albert Janney, our Progressive
candidate, is counted out"
There were more reports of
irregularities in Janney's dis
trict than in any other single
area.
The worst violence in that dis
trict occurred at tn e polling
place in the 40th precinct of the
1st ward, at 626 S. Racine.
Howard Polsky, GAP S. Ellis,
was beaten so badly by unidenti
fled assailants on the steps of the
polling place that he had to be
taken to Michael Reese Hospi-
tai, where doctors took several
stitches in a cut on his lip and
treated him for cuts and bruises
before he was released.
Polsky was b ten by the
same group of men who earlier
had threatened Tony Alder, Pro-
gressive poll watcher, inside the
polling place itself. The precinct
election officials and the police
man on duty refused to take ac-
ton.
Mrs. DOrOthea Allen, 29-year-
old war widow who ran for state
representative On the Progress
i've ticket in the 18th senatorial
district, was arrested by Chicago
ave. police following an alterca-
ton outside the polling place of
the 47th precinct in the 42nd
ward, at 745 Rush.
Mrs. Allen said that she ar
rived at the polling place with
Charles McCord, 33, of $50 Cam
bridge, to check on a report that
the Republican precinct captain,
Mrs. Florence Gasaway, SO, of
1914 N. Dearborn, was distrib-
uting COP campaign literature
inside the polling place, in vio-
lation of election laws.
Mrs. Gasaway said that Nc
Cord, a Negro, had mo right"
to check on voting irregularities
there because it lis, a white pre-
cinct."
When Mrs. Allen and McCord
pointed out that Illinois election
laws are not Jim Crow, they
said, Mrs. Gasaway went out to
their car and tore off a large
sign which re- i'd: Jim Crow
Must Co." .....
Mrs. GaSaway then struck Nc

Allen, and Mrs. Allen attempted
to intervene.

The Democrats, moreover,
were aided by the complacency
of the Republicans, who thought
they had the election in the bag.

Democratic control of the
House and the Senate must be
viewed with mixed feelings by
liberals.
Most of the committee chair
manships in Congress viii now,
by virtue of the traditional rules
of seniority, fall into the hands
of Southern Democrats whose
viewpoint is little different from
that of the most conservative
Republican.
In the Senate, for example,
Kenneth Mcclellan of Tennessee
becomes head of the Appropri-
ations Committee Georgia's Wal
ter F. George heads Finance.

guard" leaders may face tough
fights-and probably frequent
defeats-at the hands of the new

Most of these domestic lib
erals, however, support every
phase of the cold war: the Mar
shall Plan, the draft aid to die
tatorships of Greece, Turkey,
and China, and the 'get-tough-
with-Russia' policy.
This foreign policy, in turn,
dictates domestic policy to
large extent. If the US. con-
tinues to prepare for war, civil
liberties will likely be curtailed,
liberal measures withheld for
the sake of security, and
unions weakened.
Thus the 81st Congress, in
which liberal Democrats will
play an important part, may be
almost as bad as the 80th-un-
less there is major change in
foreign policy.

whose election could be cheered
without reservation is mount bent

These economic questions include
the problem of how the United

A "streamlined" procedure will be

Truman Again Backs
Civil Rights Program
In Talk With E|Iender

President Truman is on record
again with unqualified adherence
to his civil rights program.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, Lou
isiana, talked over the controversial
issue with the President yesterday
and later told reporters that Mr..
Truman said he considers 1t a
good program and would not change
it.
The conversation was on an ami
able basis.
Il told the President I would
fight the program. We understand
each others position" Senator Eli
ender said.
Opposes Gag Rule.
Senator Ellender said he told the
President, among other things:
1t would dc him (Mr. Truman) a
lot of good politically If the gag"
rule were not invoked on civil rights
measures, so that Southern Demo-
Gratis could talk them to death.
And there's talk in Louisiana
as there has been in other States
of legislative action to keep the
States electoral votes from going
to Mr.. Truman.
Thee President, Senator Ellender
said, that while Senator he had
favored antilynch and antipoll tax
bills, and he feels the same way
about them today. He's also still in
favor of limiting debate to prevent
a filibuster on them, the Senator
reported.
Truman Only Winner.
IT told the President that as a
realist and practical politician
feel confident that the Democrats
cant win with any nominee other
than Harry Truman" Senator FL
lender said.
Il said people realize that the
Democrats can't win by ditching
the President. 1t would be a re-
pudiation of all that the party
stands for. I also told him !
though he had been unwise in his
position-that he should have used
more finesse in handling his pro-
gram. 81. said when .heyput it in a
special message, it crystalfzed the
opposition.
Senator Ellender said he advised
the President that if his civil rights
program is enacted there will be
a lot of explanations to be made in
