Hot Comics SIS Bring Out
Crowds Going 10 Polls
in All States
BY JACK BELL
(AssOciatel Press Political Rep0rter)

Hot contests in the big popula-
ton states brought out heavy
early vote and pointed to a probable
record pileup of ballots today in
the "off-year' Congressional cleo
lions.
Long lines formed at polling plac-
es in Ohio where Senator Robert A.
Taft-Mr. Republican to many
was battling Democrat Joe Ferguson
for the Senate The turnout of vot-
ers was heavy also in New York
New Jersey, Massachusetts and
other key states.
In 80 states, the voters were pick
ing governors as well as helping
to decide whether the Democrats
or Republicans will control Congress
in the two critical years ahead. AT
stake for Congress were 432 House
and SO Senate seats.
Rough, Tough Campaigns
Despite the bitterness of many
campaigns-some were the toughest
toughest of many years. the fore
noon hours passed without any vio-
lence or incidents.
To guard against disorders, New
York City put all of its 10000 police
on duty and backed them up with
/ 900 special deputies and hundreds
of civilian volunteer watchers for
law violations.
Out in Independence, Mo-, Presi-
dent Truman was among the early
voters. He cast his ballot in a
gymnasium building shortly after
$50 am.
Did you vote the straight DEM
ocratic ticket?" reporter asked
him.
"Oh sure, what would you ex-
pect the President of the United
States to do" he replied.
First Reports Received
Harris Location, New Hampshire,
reported first in the usual election
day race to see which precinct in
the nation can be in front in record

munity had its ballots counted be-
fore 8 am, and gave both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans straw to
grasp at.
Democrat Robert P. Bingham
edged Republican Governor Adams,
Sd, although the community voted
Republican 10 to one in 1913. On
the other hand, Republican Senator
Tobey got six votes to four for DEM
ocrat Emmett j. Kelley. When Tobey

Merry Go Round

UASHINGTON-One of the un-
written and unknown incidents of
the Wake Island conference is what
General Harry Vaughan said to
General Douglas Macarthur, who
once fired him.
In the early stages of the war
Vaughan, then colonel, was pro-
vost marshal in Brisbane, Australia,
when Macarthur yanked him out
of the job and sent him back to
the U. S. A.
Perhaps this was lucky break
for Vaughan since he then attached
himself to the Truman committee,
later became aide to the Vice Pres
ident Though most Vice Presidents
don't have aides and now basks
at the feet of the mighty.
However, there has been no love
lost between Vaughan and Mac
Arthur since, and apparently Pres
ident Truman was quite aware OF
this on the Wake Island flight.
While playing poker en- route
home, the bemedaled military aide
raked in a couple of good pots at
Truman's expense, and the Pres
ident finally got little peeved.
clip me again, you so-and-so,"
he snapped, land I'll ship you back
to General Macarthur for keeps"

Withdrawing
Korean Front
Unexplained Action Takes
PIaee-May Be Just for
Regrouping Purpose
(By the Associated Press,

tby the Associated PreSS)
United Nations forces expanded
their slim bridgehead north of the
Chongchin River today as some
Communists mysteriously Withdrew
on the northwest Korean warfront.
Two U. s. oath Division regi-
ments and the British Common
wealth Brigade moved ahead two
and one. fourth miles after a heavy
air bombing in the Pakchon area
northwest of the bridgehead at
ANU. There was little opposition
on this front although Red concen-
trations had applied heavy press
ure as late as Monday.
U. s. propellor-driven Mustang
fighters routed speedier Russian
built jets in an 85-minute air bat
tle-longest of the war-over Sinu-
iju just across the Yalu River from
Manchuria. Three of the Red Jets
were reported hit. Spokesman said
no U. S. planes were lost.
Resistance Eases
In the NorJn-central sector, Chin
csc Red resistance eased suddenly
in front Of U. s. Marines driving
through frigid mountain passes to-
ward the Changjin reservoir.
Allied warplanes began burning
all villages to flush out Chinese
Red soldiers.
Reversible Uniforms
U. 3. First Cavalry Division
troops reported they had seen
Chinese troops change into civilian
clothing and loll around in villages
during the day while allied planes
buzzed overhead.
Communist dead with reversible
uniforms were found in the area.
The uniforms were grey-green on
one side. civilian white on the
other.
Perplexing Actions
Allied officers were perplexed at
the Chinese withdrawal in an area
where they had forced U. N. troops
back as much as so miles. They
speculated the Chinese either were
regrouping for large scale attack
or were deploying new lines.
In the latter event, officers said,
1t was possible the Chinese only
intended to hold a buffer area
guarding the Yalu River hydro
electric power grid, vital to Man
churian industry.
Cautious Policy
In Washington, United States
policy was being shaped cautiously
on the explosive Korean situation.
Informed officials said the con-
templated course would not now
include any direct charge of ag-
erosion against China and would
not irrevocably link the Peiping
government with the dispatch of
Chinese military units.
The United States has maintained
a steady course of doing every
thing to prevent the spread OF the
Korean war to involve the huge
land armies of Red China.
Difficult Warfare
APP Correspondent Jack Macbeth
said the prevailing military opinion
In the northwest sector is that if
Communist China rolls up unlim-
tied support from her vast armies.
U. N. troops would be forced into
a costly retreat. Allied officers
said the Chinese were experts at
fighting and their dis
cipline was superior to the North
Koreans.

Fond Memories
BY ALBERT 9. VIOLET

@AA4ASA@A@A FNSA4L
1t is a splendid tribute to
the character and ability of
william Monroe Trotter that SO
many people today speak so
highly of him. They appreciate
the noble work he did and are
grateful for it.
What heroic ministers we had
in Boston in the days that are
past. 1 recall the Rev. M. A. N.
Shaw as clergyman and cam
paigner for equal rights. He
never had superior. There was
the Rev. William H. Scott of
hallowed memory. His labors
and sterling qualities will never
be forgotten. Also there were
the Revs. David Klugh and
Benjamin Swain. All of them
were gentlemen and stalwart
contenderS for justice and equal
right, regardless Of race or color.
Rmember Mrs. M. Crayath
Simpson? She was a real fight
er. She could always be de-
pended upon when help was
needed to battle for the cause.
She was effective, too.
We cannot forget Mrs. Lillian
Feurtado. She had a good posi-
ton with the City of Boston,
but she found time to work for
Trotter and the cause to which
both were devoted. She was a
literary woman and good writer.
Her articles appeared frequently
in the Guardian.
A good man usually has a good
wife and Trotter had fine wife
in Geraldine who was a great
help to him.
I have mentioned the names
Of only a few of the workers
for the Equal Rights League.
There were others, men and
women, who were wide awake
and active.
Conditions are improving but
let us not forget those earnest
campaignerS who worked hard
and long in laying the ground
work and are responsible for
the many good things we enjoy
today.
