ago the latter bolted the Truman
Barkley ticket to run for Vice
President with Henry Wallace.
Although the old Congress is
due to reconvene later this month,
there will be no immediate change
in party lineup in the Senate.
Four Take Office at Once.
Four of the Senators elected
yesterday will be eligible to take
office Immediately because they
are finishing out unexpired terms,
but they replace temporary ap-
pointees Of the same party. They
are:
Frank Carlson, now Republican
Governor of Kansas. who replaces
Senator Darby.
John o. Pastore, now Demo-
cratic Governor of Rhode Island,
who takes the seat given up by
Attorney General McGrath. filed
temporarily by Senator Leahy.
Earle C. Clements, present
Democratic Governor of Ken
lucky, who takes the seat occu-
pied temporarily by Senator
Withers.
Willis Smith, North Carolina
Democrat. who replaces Senator
Frank Graham, defeated in the
primary for an unexpired term
One or more of these Governors
may not wish to come to Wash
ington until the new Congress
convenes in January, and their
successors in the State Capitols
take over.
New Leader to Be Provided.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming
who did not have to run this
year. is regarded as the most
likely choice of the Senate Demo-
Gratis for their new leader. to sue
ceed Senator Lucas in January.
Senator Lucas undoubtedly will
retain his post as leader in the
approaching short session, since
his term runs until January 8.
Senator Anderson of New Mexi-
co, a former Secretary of Agricul-
ture in the early days of the Tru-
man administration, also has been
mentioned as possible choice
for Senate leader.
Under the time-honored SEMI
ority rule, the following veteran
Democrats are to become chair
men of important committee posts
left vacant by yesterdays returns:
Senator Russell of Georgia,
armed services in place of Senator
Tydings; Senator Murray of Mon
tana, labor. and Senator Ellender
OF Louisiana. agriculture, in place
OF Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
who was beaten in the Democratic
primary by Representative Mike
Monroney.
Mr.. Monroney went on to win
in yesterdays election, defeating
w. H. Alexander, a clergyman
who took the Republican nomina-
ton after making an unsuccessful
bid in the Democratic primary.
Nixon Beats Mr.. Douglas.
One of the last returns to come
in this morning was from the
California race between two House
members for the seat being given
up voluntarily by Democratic
Senator Downey. In that con-
test Representative Nixon, the
Republican, defeated Mrs. Helen
Gahagan Douglas, who has been
a prominent New Deal supporter
IN the House. Mr.. Nixon achieved
prominence as a member of the
House Un American Activities
Committee, and as an author of
the Mundt-Nixon- McC Carran Com
munst control bill.
Counting men who had already
been eliminated in the summer
primaries, there will be a total
OF IA new faces in the Senate when

the Florida primary, and Repre-
tatiye Case, Republican Of South
Dakota, who defeated Senator

mary.
The net Republican gain Of S
Senate seats will prompt party
leaders to ask the Democrats for
a larger ratio of membership on
all major committees. Some
change will be necessary to create

Toft Plurality Biggest
Ohio Ever Cove Senator

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 8 P.-
Robert Alphonso Taft - whose
stalwart stand against a power
full Democrat-labor coalition won
reelection to the Senate-pulled
away from the field today in an
amazing display of strength.
Republican Senator Taft held
a margin of 384,072 votes over
Democrat Joseph T. Ferguson as
daylight came to the scene of
labor's deepest political defeat.
The count, with 9,422 of Ohio's
1896 polling places reported,
showed:
Senator Taft, 1,488,294; Mr..
Ferguson, 1,104,222.
Democrat Gov. Frank j.
Lausche, who Mechanically sup
ported "Mr. Republican" Taft by
public admiration and a refusal
to indorse Mr.. Ferguson, also won
reelection to a third term over
Republican Don H. Ebright.
COP Takes IL House Seats.
The trend which shot Senator
Taft into the largest plurality in
history for an. Ohio candidate for
Senator powered other Republi-
cans into IL of Ohio's % Congress
sional seats.
Six Democrats were elected to
Congress. one Independent out
distanced both Republican and
Democrat opponents, the Repub-
licans were leading in three other
races and the Democrats in one
race.
Senator Taft's banner edge did
not come during an all-time rec
ord vote. Although election Of
f1cials consistently predicted a
vote total in excess of 3 million,
it appeared certain now the ac-
tual total would fall well below
the estimate
Vote Is Below 1910 Total.
With only 964 polling places yet
to report, the total vot. for SEN
ator stood at 2,592,516. well be-
low the 1910 presidential record of
1916, 900.
The total, however, was a new
off-year record. The previous
mark was 2,446, 900, set in 1888.
1t was bitter pill for the CIO
and the AF'L, which went all-out
to defeat the co-author of the
Taft Hartley Labor Act.
The Republican leader carried
Montgomery County (Dayton), a
hotbed of unionism and the CIO
auto and electrical workers
unions. And, he led in six other
of Ohio's eight largest counties
Hamilton (Cincinnati) Franklin
(Columbus), Lucas (Toledo), Ma
honing (Youngstown), stark
(Canton) and Summit (Akron).
Only in Cleveland and Cuyahoga
County did Senator Taft trail
and that by a slim edge. Labor
expected to carry Cuyahoga Coun-
ty by 100000 votes.
1t was the CIO-PAC's worst
election defeat in Ohio and 1t
frankly puzzled the men who led
the fight against Senator Taft.

Democrats Pick Up
Only Senate Seat in
Truman S Home State
BY the Assoeiafed Press

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 8.-Thomas C.
Hennings, jr.. st. Louis Democrat
who won last-minute presidential
support, piled up decisive lead
today in his fight to oust Republi-
can Senator Forrest c. Donnell.
The victory in the Presidents
home State was the only Senate
seat picked up by the Democrats.
With only $50 Of the States A.
676 precincts outstanding. Mr..
Hennings had lead Of more than
$4,000 votes. The count then
stood: Mr.. Hennings. 637. 1896; Sem
ator Donnell, 544,078.
That included all of st. Louis
and all but seven precincts Of
jackson County. Both went heav-
lily for Mr.. Hennings. It also COW
cred all but 10 precincts in Repub-
lican st. Louis County where Sen
ator Donnell failed to get the big
lead he counted on.
Defeat Conceded.
Senator Donnell's two biggest
newspaper supporters, the st.
Louis Globe Democrat and the
Kansas City Star, conceded he had
been defeated.
Defeat of Senator Donnell was
what President Truman wanted.
The homestate Republican has
been like a burr under the adj
ministration saddle in the Senate.
But the Presidents first choice
to oust Senator Donnell was de-
feated by Mr.. Hennings in the pri-
mary. Not until last Saturday
night, when he made his only
campaign speech. did the Presi-
dent publicly indorse the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Served in House.
Mr.. Hennings. At, served six
years in the House during the
Roosevelt administration. He
also has been circuit attorney and
assistant circuit attorney in St.
Louis, where he built a reputation
as vigorous prosecutor. He is
a Navy veteran.
He's a big man-6 feet / inch
tall, 180 pounds. still built like a
college athlete.
He campaigned in support Of
the Administrators Korean pol.
icies and criticized Senator Dom
nell as an iSolationiSt for voting
against the Atlantic Pact. Sem
ator Donnell denied the charges.
Senator Donnell had a record
of winning close elections. He
was elected Governor in 1910 by
3,613 votes and Senator six years
ago by a scant 1900.
KarSt Defeated.
Although the Democrats upset
Senator Donnell, they lost at least
one Congress seat and three other
Democratic incumbents were tan
gled in neck-and-neck races.
The incumbent defeated was
Representative Raymond w. Karst
in the 18th district Of st. Louis
County and part Of st. Louis. He
was defeated by Thomas B. Curtis.
Webster Groves lawyer and a Taft
man in 1948.
Democratic House members
fighting it out in close races were
Representatives George H. Chris
topher Of Amoret, in the sixth
district; Phil j. WEIGH Of st. Jo-
seph. in the third, and A. s. j

fore yesterdays election.
Presents Six Questions.
Senator Taft posed these six
questions he said ought to be an
swered to the satisfaction Of the
American people before any fur
ther commitments are made for
defending Western Europe:
/. How many American SOL
diers will be required and what
will be the additional cost?
2. How much will it increase
the necessity of drafting every
American boy as he becomes 18
years of age, for two years service
in the Army?
8. Can Western Europe really
be defended?
4. IF the Russians have atomic
bombs with which they can bomb
the cities of this country-accord-
ing to military authorities-can
they also bomb the debarkation
ports in Europe and cut off our
armies in Europe from American
supplies?
S. What will third world war
look like?
6. How do we finally win it?"
Favors Air Might.
Senator Taft said he doesn't be-
lieve "any one questions the wis
dom of an Air Force sufficient to
protect this country from Rus
sian attack and to deter Russia
from beginning a war, through our
power to bomb the Russian cities
and industrial plants"
He said public discussion of the
issues he has raised lis all the
more necessary because it is the
families of America who are go
ing to have to give up their boys
and pay the huge additional taxes
that are required" tt
''Unquestionably," he said,
some of this sacrifice is necessary
to protect us against the real
threat of Soviet aggression. But
The facts ought to be clearly
brought before the people and they
must be satisfied in their own
minds that the sacrifice is essen

Voters in 4 States
Defeat Proposals for
.LegaIized Gambling
BY the Associufed Press

; Voters in four States turned
down proposals to legalize gam
bling in a variety Of forms in
yesterdays election.
The gambling propositions were
among 164 constitutional amend
ments. referenda. and initiatives
on the ballots in "a States.
Californians swamped a pro-
posal to legalize gambling under
State control. Sponsors had esti-
mated the State would get at
least $50 million.
Massachusetts apparently de-
feated a lottery plan sponsored
by a society for old-age pensions
At the same time, however, Bay
State voters were giving a favor
able margin to a proposal to
establish a minimum old age
assistance payment Of $75 a
month. The State lottery had
been designed to finance the in
creased checks to oldsters.
Montana was voting strongly
against a proposal to legalize slot
machines.
A plan to legalize gambling un-
der State control was rejected in
Arizona. The voters in the same
State also turned down proposals
for local option on prohibition
of liquor sales, for increased aid
to the aged. and for anti-segrega-
ton measures in schools.
Two States-Montana and West
Virginia-were on the way to ap-
proving bonus for veterans OF
World War II. A similar pro-
posal trailed narrowly in early re-
turns from Oregon.
Prohibitionists Defeated.
A number of propositions or
liquor sales were voted on
with prohibition advocates farine
poorly.
South Dakota was turning down
a proposal to prohibit the serving
of liquor and food in the same
room. Oregon decisively rejected
a measure to ban the sale of pro.
motively advertised liquor.
South Carolinans voted to elm.
mate the poll tax as a require.
ment for voting eligibility. If tht
General Assembly ratifies thi.
next year, only six States-Ala.

led the opposition to the bond
issue. He claimed the School
Board was too extravagant, and
was building coliseums, mauso-
leums and cathedrals" instead of
practical schools.
1.-The defeat of the school bond
issue shows the people don't have
confidence in the present School
Board" Mr.. Green said.

with increases in school popula-
ton still faces us. The fight
must go on" declared a joint

Council OF Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations: o. Glenn Stahl, chair
man of the Co-ordinating Coun-
Gil for School Bonds. and Reed x.
Pond. chairman of the Citizens
Committee for School Improve
ment.
Factors in Defeat.
Bond supporters were the first to
admit that accusations of extrava-
gance in school construction had a
telling effect on the outcome. In
addition to the charges by Mr..
Green, committee of the Arling-
ton Ridge Civic Association had
issued a report purporting to show
that school construction costs in
Arlington exceeded those of near
by communities.
Size of the bond issue also was
seen as a factor in its defeat. A
$4,750, 900 school construction bond
issue in 1948 and another bond
issue for $1,776.000 in 1947 we're
approved without much difficulty.
School officials say there are
$4,000 children 5 years of age and
under in Arlington. The present
total enrolment is approximately
$4,000. About $500 new students
are expected to enroll next fall.
Defeat of the bond issue will
not affect additions at Washing
ton-Lee High School and Hoff-
man-Boston School for Negroes.
Money for these projects has been
set aside from the 1948 bond issue,
and from funds granted or loaned
by the State.
Big Sewer Bond Majority.
The sewer bonds carried by the
largest majority-l1,372 to 3,790.
Sale of the bonds will permit ex-
tension of sewer lines to some
areas and enlargement of the dis
posal plant to reduce pollution of
the Potomac River. The Izaak
Walton League led the campaign
for these bonds.
Mr.. Dugan, an independent. re-
ceived 1891 votes for another
four-year-board term beginning
January /. His closest apponent
was the Democratic candidate,
Fred Bach, who received 5,497
votes. A third candidate, Jacob
Bechtel, received 1.049 votes.
The vote was 7.642 for Repre-
sentative Smith; 8,340 for Tyrrell
Krun, Republican, and 507 for
Clarke T. Robb, Social-Democrat.
State constitutional amendments
to permit consolidated school dis
tricts carried 1913 to 5.646, and
to permit more judges for large
cities was approved 1881 to 1868.

Fourteen cents out of each dollar of sales
is a considerably smaller cost than average
for the jobs we do.
1t is also smaller part of the food
dollar than Safeway required to perform
its services 10 years ago. And one main
reason is that - year by year we've
learned to operate more efficiently.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-07-15

The Safeway idea of selling more food
per store and per employee isn't ours
alone. We are in free competition with
many stores working toward the same end.
1t seems to US that is good for every
body-for farmer, customer and store man
alike. We invite you to test our ideas of how
q store should be run by doing your food
shopping at Safeway, where almost one
fifth of all customers are farm families.

all hope of getting into the new
armory before summer camp which
begins on July s.
Recruit Donnie f. Friend has been

c will sponsor a recruiting campaign

No more men can go to service
schools this year because the Nation

for this purpose for this fiscal year.
However more funds will be available
for the fiscal year beginning July /.
This hits Company C hard because we
have more men to attend service
