Yesterday's Elections
Discounted As Tip-off On
1952 Presidential Results
* 'By the Associated Press)
V
In elections centering largely
around state and local issues, vo- j
ters Tuesday chose two govern
ors, one of them without opposi
tion, four members of Congress
and scores of mayors.
The off-year elections have
been pretty generally discounted ;
by political observers as a tip-off
on next year’s presidential and
congressional elections.
The most heat has been genera
ted in several mayoral and other
local elections, notably in Phila
/ delphia.
The special House of Represen
tatives elections are to fill vacan
cies caused by deaths or resigna
tions. They include two in Penn
sylvania and one in New Jersey,
all normally Republican, and one
in Ohio which goes either way.
Sound the trumpet. Beat the
drums. Crinolines have returned
and are being heralded by fashion
experts as the biggest thing in
women’s fashions for the coming
season. Crinolines, my uninformed
male friend are those highly
starched, billowy affairs that were
worn by bygone generations of
women to make their skirts stand
straight out.
And, having been informed by
the omnipotent fashion sages of
gay Paree that it will be a season
of wide skirts, a group of easily
led American fashion designers
have promptly launched an all out
offensive to put a crinoline petti
coat under every dress. Not, as a
A matter of fact, a crinoline . . . but
two, three or a series of crinolines,
to assure milady that well rounded

I do mean well rounded. Evi
dently the fact that the form di
vine is considered perfect when
hips measure approximately ten
inches more than waist is about to
be established by crinoline
Our sympathy is hereby extended
to the millions of American women
who have spent the summer suc
cessfully fighting the famous “bat
tle of the bulge” by curtailing their
enjoyment of such delicacies as
parfaits, ice cream sodas and Tom
Collinses. They’ve come through
with hip measurements intact, only
to find that they might just as well
have relaxed and given in to the
threat of secretary’s spread. For.

they’ve added this latest “must” to
their wardrobe.
THE PERFECT HUSBAND
DEPARTMENT: We think that a
friend of ours has hit upon a
formula for domestic peace that
deserved a place in the mind of
every married man. In discussing
any controversial family issue with

Grand Larceny Charge
Saves Cordova Fisherman
$17,000 Surety Payment
SEATTLE, (yT*)—Two Canadians
and an Australian who are ac
cused of bilking a Cordova, Al
aska, fisherman in a bunco trick
were charged with grand larceny
Monday.
The trio was arrested last week ;
after Henry Mattson of Cordova
reported he had lost $3,000 to
them and would have lost $17,000
more had not his banker warned
him.
Mattson said the money was to
have been posted with the men to
prove that he could have paid his
share of wagers which he said
had been placed on a credit basis.
The $3,000 was all Mattson had
with him when he was asked to
put up the surety and he flew
back to Alaska to obtain the $17
000 the three men asked. His
banker talked him into reporting
the matter to police, instead, and
the arrest followed at a local ho
tel.
Kadiak Police Chief Hit
But Captures Hitter
KODIAK, (TP)—The Kodiak po
lice chief, a former Washington
State patrolman, was wounded
in a gun battle here Sunday night
but succeeded in capturing the
man who had nicked him.
Carter Seymour, the chief, was
called to the home of a construc
tion worker after the worker had
fired a shot in the air in a quar
rel with his wife. The man re
fused to surrender and opened
fire on Seymour with a rifle.
One of five shots fired by the
man passed through Seymour’s
right forearm before the chief
subdued him after firing several
revolver shots, one o*f which
wounded the workman slightly
in the shoulder.

MURRAY REJECTS BID
FOR AFL-CIO MERGER
NEW YORK, C/P)—CIO Presi
dent Philip Murray, opening the
CIO convention Monday, flatly
rejected a bid to talk merger with
the AFL—at least under present
terms.
“We will not attend any meet
ings to forfeit the rights” of any
CIO union, Murray told the 800
convention delegates.
Murray said the AFL, after de
stroying the United Labor Policy
Committee in which the two big
federations had worked together
for nine months, wanted to meet
the CIO and “swallow you.”
