(AP).-The Non-Partisan Cit
izens Associa ton, which
wrecked the Tom Pendergast
machine in 1910 and ruled the
city 10 years, recaptured the
municipal government yester-
day after a period Of four years.
It's candidate for Mayor, Illus
w. Davis, defeated Dutton
Brookfield of the New Inde-
pendent Voters Association.
Complete, unofficial returns
from the city's 428 precincts
gave Mr.. Davis a lead Of 2.365
votes--54,968 to 52,603. Only
1900 absentee ballots remain
to be counted. They will be
tabulated Friday.
Citizens candidates also won
nine Of the IL city council
seats and swept out all but one
member Of the coalition of
Democratic factions which cap
tured City Hall in 1859. The
coalition, which fired and hired
eight city managers in four
years, couldn't solve the city's
need for more revenue.
Formed IVA
Mr.. Davis, At, is an attor-
ney, q former council member
and a Democrat. Mr.. Brook
field, As, is a businessman, for
mer member of the police COM
mission and a Republican. He
formed the IVA after losing u e
Citizens nomination for Mayor
to Mr.. Davis.
The Citizens charged Mr..
Brookfield's NV League" was
a bloc on which he sought to
build a Republican machine.
Mr.. Brookfield had the in
dorsement of the Jackson
County Republican Committee.
The, Citizens Association
functions only In municipal
campaigns, required by the city
charter to be non-partisan.
But there was a feeling their
success tokens the ascendancy
Of a new Democratic leadership
to replace the conglomeration
of neighborhood and factional
bosses who have been strug-
Cling for party control since
the Pendergast demise. Appar-
emily moving to the top are
Mr.. Davis and Charles E. Cur
ry, presiding judge Of the Jack
son County court-Harry s.
Truman's old job.
The Citizens and the IVA
put the Democratic coalition
on the skids in the February
26 primary by defeating H. Roe
Bartle, silver tongued 300
pound Mayor. Two coalition
councilmen were defeated with
him, and q third didn't run.
Party Lines Crossed
In the maneuvering that fol-
lowed. Mr.. Brookfield's IVA in
dorsed some citizens candi-
dates and some Democratic
faction bosses indorsed IVA
candidates-even Republicans.
The switching resulted in
such incongruities as this: JEFF
frey p. Hillelson, a former Re-
publican Congressman, defeated
Councilman Joseph M. No
Ian, a Republican who has
been Sighting faction bosses for
20 years. Mr.. Hillelson was b

play, with its folk song title,
about the disintegratiOn Of
talent and fame in the expe-
rience of an aging actress, will
return to Broadway again this
wear with Tallulah Bankhead
as its star.
Mr.. Williams is a stubborn
man, one with a point to make.
He is going to make it if he
has to keep routing the critics
out of their rutS, season after
season. In all truth, in the case
Of 1.-THE Milk Train" it is some
thing of a further point, not I'M
like that in 1.-THE Roman Spring
of Mrs. Stone"
The last mentioned will be re-
membered, not as a Williams
play, but as his first and only
novel. It became a movie, with
Vivien Leigh. AS such it was a
much improved work, not mere
" because of a Stunningly sub
dued yet passionate perform
ance by Miss Leigh but be-
cause Williams gave it addi-
tional sting in a Screenplay re-
wise.
Obviously, he has hopes for a
repeat of the same success in
connection with 1.-THE Milk
Train" a sad, funny work that
will bring Miss Bankhead back
to Broadway for the first time
since 1861. "Midgie Purvis" was
her play at that time.
AS FOR THE "YES": With
regard to his non-acceptance of
the critical Eyes," Mr.. Williams
startled everyone out of his YER
nal doldrumS last spring with
the announcement of withdraw
al from production Of his "The
Glass Menagerie."
"For revision" Mr.. williams
agent explained to an incredu-
lOus everybody who regarded it
, as the classic of classics on the
Williams shelf. AS the almost
constantly produced of his
plays, with a steady drip, drip
Of royalties, this one seemed
safely beyond a further thought
by its creator.
Conjectural types among col
umnists so disbelieved his ex-
PLANTATION that they began pro-
ectin 6 explanations Of their
own. The most common of the
latter, tinctured with malice,
was that Williams got tired of
hearing the question: What ever
happened to the lovely, poetic
little man who wrote "The
Glass Menagerie"?
Apparently no one thought to
credit Americas busiest, and
possibly best, current play
wright with having a mind that
likes to tinker when it is not
feeling creative.
Clearly, he does.
HE'S DRAMATIC, TOO: The
relations of Mr.. Williams and
the critics have always consti-
tuted a kind of piquant side
show, one that has run since
''The Glass Menagerie" in 1913.
One of the ivelier acts in this
performance was that involving
tn e playwright'S cannibalistic
Suddenly Last Summer" With
no desire to avoid the critics,
which he knew he could not do,
the playwright decided that this
shocker was not for Broadway.
0ff-Broadway was Williams
own spectacular choice of the
proper setting for Suddenly
Last Summer" which, with a

Qualified Voters
Drop by $4,000
In Virginia

RICHMOND, May 20 (AP) i.
The latest official estimates
indicate more than l,025,O0O
Virginians are qualified to vote
in this years elections.
The total. gathered from re-
ports to the State Board of
Elections, is about $4,000 below
the comparable total a year
ago.
Because the figures for this
year and last are estimates and
because the voter lists in some
communities have not been
purged lately of voters who
died or moved away the totals
may not be up-to-date. Also
more voters may have quail
fled since the reports were
made on April /.
A tabulation of the April
figures showed some $4,000
whites and 100000 Negroes
qualified to vote in Virginia.
This reflects a decrease of
some $4,000 whites and 5000
Negroes from the 1862 figures.
Tabulations by congressional
districts indicated increases for
four districts and decreases for
six. Northern Virginia's 10th
district led all others with
