Truman Widens Lead
Slightly in California;
Returns Are Delayed
ey the Associoted Press


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Truman widened his lead over
Gov. Dewey today in California :
nip-and-tuck election for its Is
electoral votes.
Mr.. Truman led, 1,050,634 to l.
039,925 with 1915 of the States
l6,802 precincts reported.
At one time the COP lead had
risen to $4,000.
Los Angeles Count Delayed.
Los Angeles County, with a voting
strength of nearly 1000 Dob and with
only about 100000 ballots counted
thus far, was the key spot in the
battle.
The Dewey-Warren ticket had a
small lead in Los Angeles-248 900
to 242,000-but this figure did not
necessarily give true picture of the
total because it contained many in
complete precincts.
Los Angeles uses both voting
machine and hand-marked ballots
The Los Angeles registrar of voters
said there would be no more re-
turns until the count of completed
precincts overtakes the totals rep
resented in the incomplete count.
This means there probably would
be no more Los Angeles returns
until early afternoon.
The surprising showing of the
Democrats indicated they might
gain two California congressman.
Gearheart Trailing.
Representative B. w. Gearhart was
trailing Cecil F. White. Democrat,
in the 9th (FresnO District. In the
23d (San Diego District Clinton D.
McKinnon, Democrat. was leading
Republican Charles K. Fletcher.
The COP gained one in the, 1st
District, with the election of HUI
bert B. Scudder to succeed veteran
Democratic Representative Clarence
F. Lea. Mr.. Lea did not seek re-
election.
Representative Allen, Republican,
was elected in the 7th district.
At the halfway mark, the unoffcial
tabulations showed Los Angeles and
the citrus belt in Southern Cali
fornia giving the Dewey Warren
ticket a majority, while San Fran
cisco and the Central Valley pre-
cincts were going for Mr.. Truman.
Mrs. Douglas Leads 2-l.
In Southern California, Helen
Gahagan Douglas, actress wife of
actor Melvyn Douglas, had a COM
manding lead today as she sought
her fourth term in Congress. She
had a 81 margin over Republican
Wallace Braden Sidney Moore, an
Independent Progressive, was a poor
third.
Another Southern Californian
prominent in Congress, Republican
Richard Nixon of the House Com
naittee on Un-American Activities
had a lead Of 81 over his only oppo-
sition, Independent Progressive Una
Rice, a housewife Nixon won both
Democratic and Republican nomina-
tons at the primary.

My dear Bull Nose:

My dear Bull Nose:
What is the meaning of the
famous phase that "all men
are born free & equal which
was put as the foundation in
the Declaration of Indepen-
dence .?
1t was to the French Philos-
ophers, in the 18th Century
that we owe the idea of living
according to Nature" which
begot the idea of the "state of
nature" which begot the no.
ton, that once upon a time,
the state of nature" was a
reality, and once upon a time,
all men were free and equal
which again begot the theory
OF Universal Suffrage"
which has now begot the the
DRY SO dear to our young men,
with more ambition than in
dustry, that while every trade,
business, or profession .requir-
es theoretical training and
practical skill. If men of this
type were appointed by a ma
Jority of votes Of the people
who know nothing of the man
agement of the government,
1t would mean a major disas-
ter for the Island, and a waste
OF the tax payer money.
Finally I would like to call
the attention of my friend Mr..
Han Han to his extraordinary
appetite that the public will
no longer tolerate just another
waste of the taxpayers money.

the unsafe condition in San
Juan, Pan American has been
considering diverting some of
its air traffic to the airfield in
st. Croix which is said to be
the largest and safest in the
Caribbean. When this happens
st. Croix will become the ex-
change center for the traffic
flowing between the lower
section of the Caribbean and
the United States in much the
same mannar as San Juan
handles the traffic between
South America and the United
States.
The economic advantage that
would accrue to this area in
the development of air traffic
direct from the United States
to Benedict Field is so tremen-
dous that the Virgin Islands
should not hesitate to do every
thing within its power to bring
about developments within
the shortest possible time.
Benedict Field should in time
come to be the hub of the Vir-
gin Islands.
The decision of the A is
of much significance to the
people of the Virgin Islands.
In it is embodied a partial So
luton of our economic prob
lens. It also advances the in
terest Of the inter-island air
service to a profitable level
and permits the through ser
vice to expand for its own vel
fare and the benefit of the
area. With the Inauguration Of
direct flights from the main
land to the Virgin Islands as
the CAB decision allows, the
Virgin Islands will rapidly
come into their own.

PIVOT FOR AIR TRAFFIC
Editorial taken from:
ST. THOMAS DAILY NEWS

The recent decision of the
Civil Aeronautics Board with
reference to air routes for Pan
American World Anyways and
Caribbean Atlantic Airlines in
the Virgin Islands seems to
settle a rather complex situa-
ton to the satisfaction of all
concerned. Caribair has been
given permission to continue
its inter-island service I'M
hampered and in addition has
been allowed to extend its
route to the Dominican Re
public, since with its present
facilities it could expand its
service without much cost, and
operate more profitably than
at present. Pan American
which has been anxious to get
into st. Croix will now cover
the Virgin Islands taking
through traffic from San Juan
and points. north and west
down to and beyond Trinidad.
In this route Pan American is
permitted to land at Antigua
and st. Maarten. These adjust
ments are important to us be-
cause they will eventually
make the Virgin Islands pivot
for traffic through the lower
section of the Caribbean, if
schedules are developed.
When President Truman
visited the islands in February
and spotlighted Benedict Field
in St. Croix in the news
throughout the country, it was
part Of broad plan to direct at
tention to the air potentialities
Of these islands and the facil-
tiles that are lying idle. Be
cause Of the overcrowding and

A Missourian's Opinion

1t has been interestin indeed
to observe the attitude of our
leaders (and would be leaders,
toward the announced attitude
of A. Philip Randolph: that
Negroes should not fight for
this country if another war
should come if he (the Negro)
is denied civil rights. These
gentlemen (Mr. Randolph and
Mr.. Reynolds) certainly dis
played courage to face the
enemy and cypress what so
nancy of us believe should be
done.
Certainly, those who are in
positions of leadership could
afford to Withhold their unfav-
orable public utteraances
against a fellow leader until
a conference could be held or
exchange of communications.
This should show to be public
(and especially our enemies)
the much needed unity among
us that is now conspicuous be-
cause of its absence.
Some of us followers believe
that should we not fight we
will be shot. l should like to
ask which is orse to be shot
