Democratic Party
May Die, Says •
Henry Wallace
j WASHINGTON </P) — Henry A.
| Wallace, new-dealer former Vice
' President and secretary of Com
merce, interpreted the election re
sults today as meaning “the Dem
ocratic party will either become
more progressive or it will die.”
Wallace, recently ousted from
President Truman’s cabinet after
a controversy over policy toward
Russia, said in a statement: “Pro
gressives must not be discouraged
I by the outcome of the election.
“The Republican Congress will
! inevitably multiply our economic
I problems and the American peo
ple who fundamentally are always
progressive in their attitudes will
then turn to liberal leadership for
help.
“As a result of this election the
Democratic party will either be
come more progressive or it will
die. I do not expect it to die.”
Senator Guffey (D.-Pa.), who
was among the Democratic casu
alties, took only ten words to say
what he thought of the results:
‘The people evidently wanted
a change any they got it.”
Guffey’s aides, who issued the
statement at the Capitol, said that
would be the Senator’s only com
ment. Guffey flew to Washington
from Pittsburgh yesterday after
noon.

At the egular meeting on Friday

Georg Friedrich Handel was
born in Halle, Saxony, in 1685.
hi the era before Alaska Airlines' big,
multi-engine Starlincrs went into service,
the task of moving a dragline to a new
location was a tremendous one, often
involving sledge, riverboats, and ship
ment Outside and back.
Now, moving day for a mine means
hours instead of months, thanks to the
mighty carrying capacity of the Star
liners.
Not everyone in Alaska moves mines.
But nearly all Alaskans ship something,
even if it's only a tiny package. And
experience has shown that shipment by
Alaska Airlines is the swiftest, surest
means of transport available.
All Stariiners carry air-freight on sched
uled runs. Special aircraft are available
for specialized moving jobs. Contact your
nearest Alaska Airlines agent for rates.

Longshoremen
Will End Strike * 1
Except —
_
SAN FRANCISCO, </P) — The
CIO Longshoremen’s and Ware- ■
housemen’s union today offered to
lift its west coast strike from all
vessels except those picketed by
the striking CIO marine engineers.
If acepted 'by the waterfront!
employers’ association, the offer
would free the strikebound ships
except those operated by com
panies of the Pacific American
Shipowners’ asociation.
The offer indicated the long
shoremen are willing to work for
eign, Army and Navy ships and
those operated by Atlantic and
Gulf coast companies.
Shipping on the west coast has
been tied up by strikes of the
longshoremen, the engineers and
the AFL masters, mates and pilots
since Sept. 30. The chief obstacle
between the employers and the
ships’ officers’ unions has been a
union demand for preferential
hiring clauses in their contracts.
Progress toward settling the,
longshoremen’s strike was report
ed by federal mediator Nathan P.
Feinsinger before an interruption
of negotiations yesterday. The ne
gotiations are expected to be re
sumed Friday when Feinsinger re
turns from Hawaii, where he is
mediating the sugar strike.
SAN FRANCISCO. (A*) — West
Coast operators rejected today an
offer by the CIO longshoremen’s
and warehousemen’s union to lift
its coastwise strike from all ves
sels except those picketed by
striking marine engineers.
A spokesman for the waterfront
employers association declared his
group would stand on previous de
mands for complete settlement of!
all points of issue between mari
time labor and employers and was
opposed to what he termed “piece
meal” settlement.
Had the union’s offer been ac-,
cepted, all strikebound ships
would have been freed except
those operated by companies of
the Pacific American Shipowners’ i
association. j
U. S. To The Right
Says London
LONDON. (£*) — The London
press announced the results of
the United States elections today
with screaming headlines pro
claiming a “U. S. landslide to the
right.”
The French press interpreted
the elections results principally as
a rebuke to President Truman,
with headlines reading: “Tru
man’s Adversaries T r i u mph,”
“Truman Disavowed by the Amer
icans,” and “Reversal of the Ma
jority in the United States.”
“If Mr. Harry Truman were
Prime Minister of the United
States instead of President,” ob
served the London Standard, “He
would be out of office today. In a
world turning more and more to
the left, America has turned
sharply, and dramatically to the
right.”
“It is, apparently, as clean a
sweep as Britain’s 15 months ago,
though the broom has swept in ex
actly the opposite direction.”
