Governor Tells
Rival To Get Pig
Out OF The Poke

Governor Lane, in an address
Monday night, challenged George
P. Mahoney to "get the pig out of
the poke. He accused his OPP
position of playing fast and loose
with the facts. They have been
throwing a lot of phoney state
ments and figures in the air
while | am answering them with
the facts" said the Governor. Gov
ernor Lane went on to accuse Mr..
Mahoney of campaigning with the
"rankest and most blatant tommy
rot any candidate has ever tried
to put over on this state.
The Governor pointed out that
you can't be a candidate. for Gov
ernor without saying something.
Then he went on to say: Zone of
my opponets had to say something
and he did. He said that the
retail sales tax had nothing to do
with the improvements we have
made in this State during my ad-
ministration. Mind you he has
nothing against the improvements
he just doesn't like the way we
have paid for them. Despite the
fact that the sales tax represents
about 40 percent of the States to-
tai general revenue over the past
three years, he's claiming that not
nickel of it /. not penny of N
. was used to accomplish the
things the people of this state
wanted and needed.
"The statement that the sales
tax had nothing to do with the
road, school and hospital improve
ment program of my administra
ton is the rankest and most blat-
and tomfnyfot any cand1f4te mas
ever tried to put over on this
State, said the Governor. He also
stated that the Mahoney approach
to State problems in his campaign
sis just the old shell game to
confuse as many people as you
can no matter what you have to
say to do it"

With Government
IN TIBET CAPITAL

NEW DELHI, India. Nov. 6-tR-
India has been advised that Tibet's
16-year-old ruler, the Dalai Lama,
and his government of Buddhist
priests still control Lhasa. the IT,
betan capital.
This report yesterday from midas
representative in Lhasa. DR.. S.

mors stemming from Tibetan trad
ers that the boy ruler and his elderly
regent, Takta Rimpoche, had fled
before invading Chinese Commun-
list armies.
DIR. Sinha's report heartened Off
cial sources who had felt that the
swift collapse of the Tibetan govern
ment was imminent. The Indian
government had told DR.. Sinha,
India would give asylum to any le-
ultimate refugees from Tibet.
OF the military situation, the re-
port said that only that Communist
troops were regrouping for further
attacks after the capture of Chamdo,
