4N sented encouraging gains
for the people, and bad set
backs for political reaction
aries.
Ele C t ions were scattered
among cities and states, some
what haphazardly. But general
trend was clear. Here's how
PAC Director Jack Kroll sum-
med it up:
"The people of this country
are standing by their demand
of last year for liberal, pro-
gressive government on the
city and state levels, as well
as on the national level"
r r X
One of biggest tests was in
New York-in N est S for
mayor and senators. (Senator
Robert Wagner, long i'll, re-
signed last summer.) Running
for the vacant seat were Her
bert Lehman, w h o followed
FDR as governor of New York,
and John Foster Dulles-who
would be Secretary of State
today if Tom Dewey had been
elected.
Dulles, who had put on a
postwar show of being a
Statesman" above "mere"
party isues, came off his pedes-
tai with a bang during course
of campaign. His campaign
was one of dirtiest seen in En-
pire State in years. And he
lost, by about 100000 votes.
Dulles fought hard against
so-called "statism" and "wel-
fare state" meaning Fair Deal
program. He also threw out ap-
peals to bigotry and intoler-
ance.
Lehman's victory without
doubt spells end of Dulles po-
litical career (waste no tears
on that) and deals body blow
to already-faded p olitical
h hopes of Tom Dewey, who
stumped New York State for
Dulles.
Labor played big part in
electing Lehman and re-elect-
ing Mayor Bill O'Dwyer of
New York City. All labor
groups supported Lehman;
most of them also backed
O'Dwyer.
CIO transport workers, who
have stro N ly supported
O'DWyer, worked hard for his
reelection. SO did other CIO
unions. CIO President Phil
Murray spoke at big Madison
Square Garden meeting for
Lehman and O'Dwyer - and
also broadcast for Lehman.
Of Dulles, Murray remarked:
"The record proves that Mr..
Dulles is an old-fashioned Re-
publican reactionary whose
concern is only for the rich
and the well-born."

But labor political gains
weren't all confined to New
York Reports trickling in
from other states and cities
show similar improvements.
In Virginia, long held under
tight control by ultra-conserv-
ative Byrd machine, Temple
Kessinger of CIO Paper Work
ers Local CTS was elected to
state legislature. He's first
CIO member to sit In that
body.
CIO members in many in
dustrial cities won election to
local bodies - in places like
Camden, New Jersey, Water
bury, Connecticut, Louisville,
Kentucky.
There were some setbacks,
of course. In Detroit, George

Victories ond Defeats

OUR RECENT state and municipal cleo
" tons resulted in number Of victor
les and defeats for the common people.
BY far the gravest setback, suffered by
the progressive minded people of Ohio, is
the adoption of the so-called 'Massachu-
sets" type of ballot for future statewide
elections. This proposal sponsored and
financed by Sen. Taft and his "blue-chip"
hackers, abolished the so-called party or
straight ticket" ballot. In other words,
under the old system, now abolished, any
voter could cast his ballot for the entire
party ticket-democrat or republican-by
simply marking an "X' under the respec-
tive party emblems-the rooster or the
eagle Henceforth, a voter will be COM
PEELED to vote separately for each of the
candidates and no straight ticket" or
party voting" shall be permitted.
Naturally, this will cause a great deal
of confusion Many people, especially in
the working class districts of our large
industrial centers, will. spoil their bal
lots by improperly marking them. These
ballots, of course will be thrown out. Fur
ther, this type of ballotihg-because it is
polls thus driving away many people who
would otherwise have cast their ballots.
Fortunately, there is some question
now as to the constitutonality of this ref
erendun. II seems that the submission of
this issue to the people was improperly
worded. The Attorney General is now
checking into this problem and may sub
NIT the entire issue to the State Supreme
Court
Naturally, it is our hope that either
the Attorney General or the State Su-
preme Court will invalidate the results
of this election. In any event, it should
be resubmitted to the people of Ohio. II
that were done, we are confident that the
large numbers of voters who stayed away
from the polls 4. who did not vote on
this issue even if they voted on other is
sues, would-in light OF the discussion
now going on-vote against this Taft
sponsored proposal and retain our normal
two-party system type of elections that
our people are familiar with.

S~ecretaryof Defense Johnson Approves
Navy Departments Proposals for
Equality OF Treatment tor Personnel
By Alice A. Dunnigan

WASHINGTON, June Is. GAN
P)-Secretary of Defense Louise
Johnson last week approved speci-
fic actions proposed by. the De-
partment of the Navy to assure
equality Of treatment and oppor-
tunity for all navy personnel.
At the same time, Secretary
Johnson asked the Department of
the Army to restudy it's position
on the subject, to consider care
fully informal suggestions receiv-
ed from the Presidents committee
on equality of treatment and OPP
portunity in the armed forces, and
to submit it's reconsideration of
the mattery by June 20.
Proposals of the department of
the Air Force to assure equality
for all it's personnel we're approved
by Secretary Johnson May II. He
then asked the departments of the
Army and the Navy to furnish
clarifying information through
Chairman Thomas R. Reid of the
National Military establishments
personnel policy board before
making a decision in their cases.
The department Of the Navy has
proposed "to p%romulgate a state
ment Of the departments policy
regarding minority races.
"To augments efforts to obtain
Negroes to enlist in the navy by
the assignment Of Negro petty Of
ficers to duty in the Navy Re
cruiting service, ordering volun-
teer qualified Negro Reserve Of
ficers to active duty to assist in
recruitment, and slanting adver-
tisement, posters, films, and PAM
phlets to attract Negroes to the
navy by use Of photographs show
ing the Negroes working togeth-
er in the naval service.
"To exert greater effort to at
tract qualified Negro students to
participate in the Navy ROTC
program.
"To promulgate a directive to
insure that all members of the
steward abranch who are in all re-
spects qualified are given an op-
portunity to change their rates to
another rating branch.
"To change the status of chief
stewards to that of chief petty Of
ficers.
"To d%is-establish within the ma
rine corps the present separate Ne
gro recruits training facility and
integrate the training of Negro
recruitsw it'll that of whites"
The proposed directive to all
ships and stations setting forth the
navy's revised policy regarding MI
nority races points out that "it is
the policy Of the navy department
that there shall be equality OF
treatment and opportunity for al
persons in the navy and marine
corps without regard to race, color
religion or national origin.

Churchill Tells Britain to Earn Own WAY

muddlers have dissipated every

people a higher rate of taxation
than was required at the very
height of the war"
Mr.. Churchill said the sterling
areas dollar holdings of $1,600.-
100000 "are the last reserves that
stand between us and insolvency.
The present government" he
said. have obviously no effective
plan for dealing with this immi-

we have spent f900,000.000 in

This situation is complicated by
the fact that the law was not
written so as to provide the Dis
trict government with any time for
processing the applications. The
merchants have until August l to

But it probably will take the
overworked staff in the Asses

his customers.
