Voters BuIk Tax
Ohio Town :
Schools to Close

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 8 (AP)
Defeat of a 4-mill operating
levy in Tuesdays election
prompted the suburban Oregon
town board of education to vote
Al last night to close schools
indefinitely November 26.
The levy, which would yield
an estimated $4,000 a year,
lost by 48 votes. Board men,
bers said the money was neces-
sary to keep schools operating
The board also called for a
special election on the levy for
December 6.
Thomas M. Robinette, board
member who voted against
closing the schools and the
special election, commented:
"We couldn't sell the voters
our tax package and now we
plan to try to cram it down
their throats."
Some 5000 students in nine
schools would be affected by
the closing.

worked together for the past
four years to put Gov. Edmund

Many Hand Picked
Many of the new Democrats
were handpicked as candidates
by friends and agents of the
President. In some States, like
California, their districts were
specially gerrymandered for
them. They were financed in
their campaigns, given suitable
Endorsements, campaign ma
terialS and guest speakers at
appropriate times.
AS a result, one top Demo-
cratic official said, you've got
Congressman coming in who
are not just emotionally geared
to us but have been working
together with our people on a
week-by-week basis for over a
year."

UPSET IN VERMONT
Anti-KeyserF ceiling Blamed

Vermont II years ago to join
a prominent Burlington Repub-
lican in the practice of law.
Born of Republican parents,
Mr.. Hoff says he became a
Democrat while at Williams
College. He was graduated with
honors in 1948 and received his
law degree from Cornell three
years later.
A handsome blond, blue-eyed
6-footer Mr.. Hoff is married to
an attractive one-time Republic
can. They have four daughters
Mr.. Hoff is a Navy veteran
of submarine duty in the Phil
ippines area during World War
II. He is an Episcopalian and
the first non-Catholic Vermont
Democrats have nominated for
Governor in many years.
The whole Hoff family hit
the campaign trail that began
last March. One of Mr.. Hoff's
daughters once walked across
the floor of a Burlington store
to stomp heavily on the foot
of Mr.. Keyser, who was cam
paigning door to door at the
time.

Mr.. Hoff was also helped by

and financing by a Vermont
Democratic Party that has
grown in strength steadily since
1852.
Vermont is almost a full

presidential election years. Foul
years ago Vermont Democrats
elected a congressman and
came within 721 votes of elect

On Tuesday the Democrats
elected their first Governor

the Republicans raised from
seven to II the Southern seats
they hold in the House. Two
House members were elected
from North Carolina, Florida,
Texas and Kentucky and a
third was elected in Tennessee
for the first time in mary
years.
The results grew out Of the
most intensive effort the party

with the situation that con-
fronted the White House staff
when Mr.. Kennedy took office
in 1861. Congress was already
in session. The Democratic
incumbents had won on their
own, most of them ran well
ahead of the President in their
own districts.
They owed him nothing, save
what he could command
through his personal friendships
and his patronage supply.

party system in the South.
He expressed his views as
John M. Bailey, Democratic
national chairman, exultantly
described the outcome of the
congressional elections as "a
tremendous victory for the
Kennedy administration and
the Democratic Party"
With the Republicans failing
to make expected inroads in
the lopsided Democratic ma
jorities in the House and Sem
ate, Mr.. Miller undertook to
discount the effect of these dis
appointments.
81 do not agree that our
failure to capture a greater
number of seats in the House
and Senate" Mr.. Miller said,
constitutes in any way an in
dorsement of the New Frontier
and its programs. And during
the next campaign Republicans
will fight harder than ever to
place in Congress men and
women who subscribe to the
basic American values upheld
by the Republican Party"
On the other hand, Mr.
Bailey predicted that the new
Congress taking over in Janu-
airy will prove more productive
than the 87th. He credited the
outcome of the elections as a
"mid-term vote of confidence
in the Kennedy administration
and indicated his belief that
the new Congress will be more
willing to go along with the
Presidents programs.
The chairmen differed on the
effects anticipated from the
Republican victories in the four
major Northern States in the
races for Governor. The Repub-
jlican chairman described the
outcome as indicating "a nota-

urgency about unsolved domes-
tic problems.
With this election, Capitol
Hill acquires a crop Of new
men" whose mood and outlook
match those of Kennedy opera
tiveS in the executive agencies.
No one at the White House
is overestimating the influence
of freshmen legislators on the
patriarchs of Congress. but, as
one Of them said, "at least all
the pressure to move on the
Presidents program won't have
to come from outside now"
Extremely Officials
Among the new Senators, for
example, are two former adj
ministration officials-Welfare
Secretary Abraham Ribicoff
and Food for Peace Director
George McGovern. There are
also two consistent Kennedy
hackers moving over from the
House, Daniel Inouye of Hawaii
and Daniel Brewster of Mary
land.
But the chief hope Of the
New Frontiersmen are the new
corners to Washington - men
who have cut their political
teeth battling for reform in the
toughest arena of them all,
State government.
These are, in the White
House idiom, guys who car
count" That distinguishes
them, favorably, from the lib
erals on the Hill who are in
terested chiefly in advancing
lost causes.
They are typified in the new
Senate by Birch Bayh, jr., con-
queror of Senator Capehart
and former Democratic leader
of the Indiana General AS
sembly, and Gaylord Nelson
the two-term Democratic Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, who takes
Senator Wiley's seat.
Promising in House

need for leadership is ever
greater, newcomers are also
promising. Examples:

publican organizational ma
chinery" in those States.
The four States, Mr.. Miller
pointed out, represent a total
of 119 electoral votes.
Hopefuls for 1864
Mr.. Bailey predicted that
President Kennedy will carry
the four States in the 1864
election and said he was "sure"
about New York. The President
won all but Ohio in the 1860
election.
While the Republicans
grabbed off the powerhouse
State Governors, the overall
outcome in the Statehouse
races was a virtual standoff.
Democrats, to their surprise,
picked up the governorship of
Vermont and also won in New
Hampshire, In Nebraska they
turned back the bid of Fred
Seaton, Secretary of the In
terror in the Eisenhower cab
met, to win the governorShip.
Some of the governorship
races were so close that the
results will not be known until
the last votes have been
counted.
VOlpe Trailing
Included among these was
Massachusetts, where the
smashing victory of Edward M.
(Ted) Kennedy, the Presidents
brother, appeared to be pulling
former Harvard football star
Endicott (Chub) Peabody into
victory over Republican Gov.
John Volpe. With some votes
still uncounted, Mr.. Peabody
had an unofficial lead of about
1000 votes out of more than
2 million.
In Rhode Island the race was
even closer. Democratic Gov.
John A. Notte was in front by
only as votes over Republican
challenger John H. Chafee in a
total vote of 321, 1000. The out
come rested with about 5000
absentee ballots and many of
these do not have to be cast
until November 81.
Still another close race was
in Minnesota where Democratic
1t. Gov. Karl F. Rolvaag was
behind Republican Elmer L.
Andersen, the incumbent Gov
ernor, by fewer than 1000
votes out of more than IL mil
lion cast. Some precincts were
still unreported.
Pleased by South
Mr.. Miller described the re-
suits in the South "as dra-
matte" In the election the Re
publicans picked up five new
House seats and ran close
races in a number of other
districts. They also nearly
captured a Senate seat in
Alabama.
I'VE have elected the first
Republican Governor in Okla
homa's history Mr.. Mile r
said. "Our candidate for the
Senate in Alabama scored be-
yond the widest dreams of the
professional forecasters.
Coupled with these impor-
tant inroads into the old one
party system in the South were
many Republican victories IN
county and municipal cleo
tons"
Mr.. Miller congratulated the
Republicans in the South and
predicted they will go on from
here to score increasingly sig
nificant victorieSN as time
passes"
Morton Victory Noted
He also described as lex
tremely heartwarming" the re-
election in Kentucky Of Re-
publican Senator Thrustonf
