LOSER PAYS BET

DENVER ~ (P) - When Jack
Andersen got a call to pick 10
shipment at. the railway express
Office recently. he figured it prob
ably was some lubricant for his
gasoline station. 1t turned out to
be a crate containing a full-size
racing greyhound.
It seems that Andersen, his wife
and Clyde o. Means, who owns a
kennel of racing dogs, had gone to
the Colorado Springs track togeth-
er last summer. One of Means
dogs, Kay Trump, was running. An
.dersen offered to wager his Cad
lilac car against the dog that Kay
Trump wouldn't finish in the mon
ey. Means accepted, then watched
his dog wind up far back.
Andersen forgot the incident un-
til he called at the express COM
pany to find Kay Trump. Ander-
sen said he wasn't too happy to
add a racing canine to his house
hold and his wife wasn't either.

Premier Yoshida's
Pro-U. 5. Liberals Win
lin Japanese Elections
BY the Associotsd Press

TOKYO, Oct. 2.-Prime Min
lister Shigeru Yoshida and his Lib
eral Party has won an absolute
majority in Japan's House of Rep
resentatives. virtually assuring al
continuation of this country's pro-
American policies.
Voters turned their backs on the
Communists. refusing to return al
single Red to Office in yesterdays
election. In the old Diet (Parlia-
ment) the Communists had 22|
seats.
Complete unof1cial returns gave
the Liberals 240 seats. Progress
sives IS. right-wing Socialists 81,
left-wing Socialists 81. indie
lpendents 10. minor parties IL,
Communists 0.
The Liberal Party victory was
dimmed by the loss of nearly so of
the 285 seats they controlled in
the last Diet.
Party Leadership Double.
Although they won control of
the government, leadership of the
party itself still was in doubt. OBJ
servers foresaw a bitter battle
between Mr.. Yoshida and Ichiro
Hatoyama, a tussle that might
split the liberal ranks.
Mr.. Hatoyama, founder of the
party. was purged from political
life by Allied occupation authori-
ties six years ago. He turned the
reins of authority over to Mr..
Yoshida. Now he wants them
back. He and other occupation
purgees regained their right to
seek Office when Japan regained
independence.
Mr.. Yoshida has refused to
surrender his power. He says his
opponent is physically unable to
bear the strain of leadership. Mr..
Yoshida followers won los of
the Liberal seats and Hatoyama
followers won SO. Sixty-six are
neutral, and both leaders will try
to win them.
Irked by Red Violence.
Balloting indicated that many
voters. irked by the Communist
program of anti-American vio-
lence. turned to the Socialists.
The two Socialist groups won Ill
seats, compared to 46 in the old
Diet.
The large Socialist vote was in
terpreted as rejecting opposition
to large-scale rearmament and
too-close ties with the United
States.
Both wings advocate a foreign
policy of neutrality. The leftists
oppose rearmament of any kind.
The rightists favor self-defense
force run by the japanese them
selves and geared to Japan's
struggling economy.
Many Socialists ran on anti
American and anti-Soviet plat
forms.
Get Less Than Half of Vote.
The Liberals attracted less than
half the popular vote. although
grabbing control of the House. OF
the first 32,500.000 votes counted,
Mr.. Yoshida's party had 15,700.-
900 or about 48 per cent. The
Communists got only 350,000 votes
or IL per cent. In the 1949 elec-
ton the Reds got about 10 per
cent of the total vote. ~,

that the Democratic National
Committee and Stevenson head
quarters in Springfield are i'm
pressed with the battle President
Truman is Waging, and are re-
garding him now as a major
factor in the campaign. 1t is rec
ognized here that the President is
stalking all his personal and po-
litical prestige on an effort to dis
credit Gen. Eisenhower in the eyes
of the voters.
In 1948. the Presidents primary
targets were the Republican 80th
Congress and the G. o. P, with
only occasional reference to Gov
Thomas E. Dewey. Earlier this
year. he made it clear that, to
vindicate his own administration
he was prepared to fight even
harder for the 1852 Democratic
nominee than he would for him
self. The fact that he has re-
stored to a no-quarter campaign
of personalities is taken as proof
of his determination to carry out
that promise.
Plugs for Candidates.
It would be a mistake to think
that the President is devoting all
or even a major portion, of his
time to the Republican nominee
At every train stop he continues
to plug hard for the Stevenson
