Pennsylvania's 26th Congressional

George Guy Gabrielson as a re-

"The election of Republican
Candidate John P. Saylor in the

tutes a stinging rebuke to the
Truman administrations effort to
lead this Nation down the road to
statism," Mr.. Gabrielson said
"The American people will have
no part of that imported theology
however it may be camoufiaged or
sugar-coated by such terms as
fair deal or welfare state"
Last November the Democrat
candidate carried this district by
more than 10000 votes. Now,
after less than a year of the Tru-

Aids Lehman Chances
BY the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Former
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman's sena-
torial campaign stock rose today
after the American Labor Party S
decision not to enter a candidate
in the November election.
The ALP action-announce
last night-was not good news to
supporters of Senator Dulles, the
Republican candidate.
The American Labor Party vote
usually goes to the Democrat when
there is no ALP candidate in the
field-sometimes deciding close
election.
A classic example of an ALF
candidates damage to a Demo
crat was last years presidential
election. BY backing Henry A
Wallace, the ALP, New York State
arm of the Progressive Party. had
a big hand in giving the States
electoral vote to Gov. Dewey in
stead of to President Truman.
Wallace Won't Seek Office.
Leaders of the ALP sought with
out success recently to get Mr.
Wallace to be the party's Senate
candidate.
Representative Vito Marcanto-
nio, left-wing Congressman ano
ALP State chairman, announced
Monday that Mr.. Wallace had de-
cided not to run for any office
this year.
Some ALP leaders questioned
the advisability of running a can
didate against Mr.. Lehman. whose
record in domestic affairs hao
not been assailed by the party.
The ALP State Committee, act
ing as a convention. said last night
the party is not running any
State wide candidate because ii
wants to concentrate on the New
York City election.
In statement presented by
Mr.. Marcantonio, ALP nominee
for Mayor, the party said:
1--WE deem it important to win
the municipal election. ." Such
a victory can be achieved only by
following a policy of concentra-
ton, which was adopted by the
National Committee of the Pro-
gressive Party"

Mayor William O'Dwyer is the
Democratic candidate for re-
election. NeWbold Morris, Re-
publican president of the city

In addition to the Senate race,
there will be a State wide contest

A bit of this Arctic curtain was
