imposed have withheld strate-
gic. materials from Communist
China. %
AT the same time Mr.. Sawyer

a complete embargo on shipments

Mr.. Sawyer issued a lengthy
statement on the licensing pro-
gram and held weekend news
conference to discuss it's details
in view Of charges aired before
a Senate subcommittee that ship
ments of strategic war materials
have been finding their way into
Communist China even since
fighting in Korea began last June
The charges are being investi-
gated by a Senate Commerce SUBJ
committee headed by Senator
O'Conor, Democrat, of Maryland
During the recent hearings, Sena-
tor O'Conor said information al
ready in the hands of the sub
committee indicates "the story, as
it unravels, may be very, very SEN
sational."
On the other hand, Secretary
Sawyer said, critical and strategic
materials began to be withheld
from Communist China under the

gram in 1949. Controls, he added
have been strengthened in the
light of the developing seriousness
of the situation in the Far East.

Kelly 3O7 Votes Ahead
In Michigan Race, but
Recount Is Awaited
5 PopuIous Districts Yet
To Give Returns With a
Others Still Incomplete
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, Nov. 1.-THE Michi-
gan governorship race. still a
virtual standoff after four post
election days of llot-bungling,
appeared tonight to be reaching
the nub of the real margin be-
tween Gov. G. Mennen Williams
and former Gov. Harry F. Kelly.
With an ocean of errors wrung
out of unofficial election returns
in most counties, Republican
Kelly had paper" lead of BOT
votes over Democrat Williams, the
39-year-old first-termer.
The lead was paper" lead, in
the opinion of election observers,
because it rested on an error in
one township of Macomb County
which was almost a certainty to
produce several hundred more
Democratic ballots in a recount.
Recount Appears Certain.
An election official said the
tally sheet for the, normally
Democratic township failed to
show fer whom 928 straight
ticket ballots were voted. The
official implied that a majority
of these would be for Gov. Will
liams. But he said that could be
determined only by recount.
