D'AIesandro Winner
As Democrats Sweep
Polls in Baltimore
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. May 9.-Demo-
Gratis have Baltimore all to them
selves for four more years. They
swept everything in sight in yes
terday's municipal elections, top
ping things off by easily re-elect-
ing Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro.
The former Representative out
polled Republican Joseph L. Car
ter by a two-to-one margin. He
suffered little from the campaign
of c. MARYLAND Kelly, outgoing
Democratic City Council president
who ran for Mayor as an indie
pendent.
j. Neil McCardell was reelected
controller and Arthur D. Price
gained the City Council presi-
dency.
Also in the Democratic column
again are all 20 Council seats.
Warm, sunny weather and spir-
tied campaigning produced a rela-
lively heavy vote. 60 per cent OF
the registration total.
The voters were in an aff1rma-
tive mood, approving every one of
10 public improvement loan pro-
posals totaling $40 million. Among
them were school construction and
port development measures calling
for bond issues of $12 million each.
Complete unofficial returns from
the city's 507 polling places gave
Mayor D'Alesandro 112,934 votes,
Mr.. Carter, 61,750 and Mr.. Kelly,
23,327.
Mayor D'Alesandro's victory
proved a rebuff to Republicans
who sought to repeat their success
of last fall in the gubernatorial
election. Gov. McKeldin actively
supported Mr.. Carter.

u. 5. TO LET japanese
Scrap Social Reforms
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Feb. 1.-The United
States proposes to allow the
japanese to decide after a peace
treaty whether they will retain
the major social reforms created
by the occupation.
John Foster Dulles made this
clear in an interview given
privately Monday and released in
detail today.
He said peace terms for Japan
as now foreseen by the United
States will not specifically bind
this country to perpetuate the re-
form measures introduced by
occupation authorities.
Sources close to his mission re-
iterated that today - and said
theoretically it meant the Japa-
nese could wipe out all reform
measures.
They said that not all the
Western powers who will be con-
suited on the treaty agree with
this view. 1t is expected to create
opposition from the British and
probably some of Japan's Asian
neighbors.
