Warren to throw back any surge
to Gov. Stevenson.
California has gone to the DEM
ocrats in every presidential elec-
tion since 1932-but by dwindling
majoritieS since 1896. President
Roosevelt won by 476,000 votes in
1882, $4,000 in 1886, $4,000 in
1910, 476.000 in 1914. President
Truman captured the State by a
scant 1855 in 1948.
Republicans say they are not
alarmed by the voter registration
showing 3,312.668 Democrats to
i2,455,713 Republicans, nor by pre-
dictions for a turnout Tuesday
as high as 80 percent.
! They feel the combination OF
Eisenhower's personal appeal and
the desire for a change in Wash
ington will crack the Democratic
ranks. Mr.. Warren, in gaining
three terms as Governor, has
shown it can be done. So have
others.
FavOrites In Mid October.
California editors established
Gen. Eisenhower as the favorite
to carry the State in q mid
october survey by the Associated
Press. They agreed generally it's
likely to be close. The editors in
September survey concluded the
outcome was doubtful. Composite
opinion of the second poll split
the anticipated major party vote
52-48 per cent for Gen Eisenhower
Gen. Eisenhower campaigned
through the State once and Gov
Stevenson twice. Both drew big
and enthusiastic crowds. Neither
made any public claims for a
California victory.
Gov. Warren at first spoke OF
the California outcome as doubt
full. In late September he went
only so far as to say Gen. Eisen-
hover could take the State If he
conducted a good campaign.
To counteract the big three OF
the G. o. P. drive in California
the Democrats brought in Presi-
dent Truman, who drew siZable
crowds; Senator John Sparkman
Of Alabama, Democratic candi-
date for Vice President, who
didn't, and Senator Estes Kefau-
yer. The TennesSean polled over
a million and a half votes in Cali
fornia's presidential primary.

A Six-year study shows more than
half the quail population in the

per cent of the birds died on the
average, during the winter.
The study also showed rela-
tionship of quail survival to the

OF First Wartime Guided Missile

out over the foaming waves. We
still held our breaths as it lost
altitude a split second, then 1t
began to climb.
It was still under control Of
the attack Douglas sitting on the
flight deck of the Boxer. But when
the missile reached 1,0O0-foot al
titude. the circling ADJ suddenly
took over control. The missile
swept into the northwest with the
guiding plane just above it and
slightly behind it. The guide
plane would steer it to the target
area but in doing so would main
tain an altitude well out of fax
range.
We watched the missile and its
guide plane shrink to mere specks
and disappear in the distance. But
down in the secret room the elec-
tronic experts rode along on this
epoch-making f1ight-rode along
to the last grim appointment in
the fiak-loaded Communist valley.
There wasn't mucn talking on
the bridge after the missile faded
from view. All of us knew we had
witnessed one Of those matchless
moments. We realized in our hearts
that the age of fighting a war with
guided missiles was no longer in
the future. It was already here.

u. ). Vessel Hits Mine
Off Korea; 5 Missing,
Seven Others Injured
By The Associated Press

TOKYO, Sept. 18.-The Navy
announced today five men were
missing and seven were injured
by an explosion on the waterline
of the United States destroyer
Barton. apparently caused by q
drifting Communist mine off
Korea. The blast--at 9:05 pm.
Tuesday. Tokyo time--ripped a s.
foot hole in the forward fireroom
of the 2.200-ton vessel.
The Barton was hit by Com
munist shore batteries last August
10 while operating near Yodo
Island IN the Wonsan area of
Eastern Korea. A seaman was
killed and another was wounded
by a shell which hit her super
structure.
Tuesdays blast came as the
Barton was screening the United
States carriers Bon Homme Rich
ard and Princeton nearly 100 miles
OF the Wonsan- -Hungnam area.
Probably LOosened by Storm.
1t blew in the starboard side of
the vessel. The Navy said a drift
ing mine ripped loose by recent
typhoons probably blew out to sea
and hit the destroyer.
There was speculation earlier
that the destroyer was torpedoed
but torpedo likely would have
penetrated the hull and exploded
inside, causing greater damage.
The Navy said flooding was con-
trolled within an hour. The
wounded were taken aboard one
of the carriers. @
A tug was sent from the Sasebo
naval base in Southern Japan,
where the Barton was expected
to arrive tomorrow.
