Gov. FurcoIo
To Try to Win
SuItonstuII's Seat

BOSTON, June 6 (AP)-
Gov. Foster Furcolo, a Demo-
.crat, announced today that he
will run for the Senate seat of
Republican Leverett Saltonstall
this fall.
The Governor issued a 1900
word statement, attacking Sem
ator Saltonstall's record, both
as a Senator and when he held
the Office of Governor for three
terms in the early 1940S.
Our records differ radically
in that I have always voted for
the economic expansion and
the health, education, and well
fare of our people, and have
fought to advance and expand
such programs, while he has
almost always voted to cut
them" the Governor said.
Gov. Furcolo ran against
Senator Saltonstall for the
Senate in 1854, but lost by
nearly $1,000 votes.
Senator Saltonstall was Gov
ernor from 1889 through 1914,
the only man to win three
terms in modern times.
He has been in the Senate
since 1914.

flocking to the area to set up
new small businesses and in
