Lehman, O'Dwyer Win
In New York Elections
(Cor.tinued from Page One)
said, the reelection of Republi
can Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll was
a blow at "Bosslsm" and "Hu
guelsm." Driscoll handed a direct defeat
to his Democratic rival, state Se
nator Elmer H. Wene. And he
gave an indirect drubbing to
Frank Hague, the former Jersey
City mayor and Boss of the State
Democratic organization who
backed Wene.
Hague now, 73, announced he
Is "stepping aside."
Boston voters tossed out the
last old-time Boss still in power
when they refused a fifth term
to Democratic Mayor James M.
Curley. They picked another De
mocrat, City Clerk John B. Hy
nes. Hynes was temporary mayor
In 1947 while Curley did a five
months' stretch in a federal peni
tentiary after being convicted of
mail fraud.
Of particular pleasure to De
mocrats looking lor clues to 1950
prospects was of the fact that
Democrats romped to victory in
many municipal elections as well
as both vacancies In the U. S.
House of Representatives.
And New York state once again
is back In the democratic fold.
President Truman lost it last
year.
Little Numerical Gain
Actually, whatever push his
"fair deal" program gets out of
Tuesday's balloting will be most
ly phychological. The democrats
got no big numerical reinforce
ments in congress.
They did win all the congres
sional seats at stake, but those
numbered only three.
Lehman's victory gives them an
extra hand in the Senate. But at
the start of the new session, the
Senate line-up probably will be
Just what it was after the 1948
election: Fifty-four democrats, i'Z
republicans.
That figure takes Into account
the probability that a republican
will replace Senator Clyde Reed
(K-Kan.) who died last night, and
that a democrat will succeed Sen
ator Baldwin (R-Conn), who plans
lo quit in uecemDer.
And in tne House, it will be
262 democrats, 170 republicans,
one democrat-liberal, one Ameri
can-labor, one vacancy. y
That will be a gain of one Seat
for the democrats, San Francisco
voters replaced the late Ren.
Richard Welch, a republican, with
democrat John F. Shelley, presi
dent of the California Federation
of Labor.
in Brooklyn, a democrat, Mrs.
Edna F. Kelly, was elected to fill
a democrat vacancy.
GOP Mayors Ousted
In New York such cities as
Syracuse, Blnghamton, Rome and
Port Jervls discarded republican
mayors for democrats. Syracuse
picked a democrat for the first
time In 24 years.
New York City itself gave
Mayor O'Dwyer an easy win in
lils bid for second term. Ho licked
communist-supported Rep. Vito
Marcnntonlo, the American-labor
candidate who ran a poor third,
and Newbold Morris, the republi-can-llberal-fuslon
hopeful.
Philadelphia threw out four re
publican city officials who won
four years ago bv margins of
around 70,000 to 80,000 and In
stalled democrats In their places:
Virginia ran off the only other
governorship race outside New
Jersey according to form. Demo

Johnson as expected.
But the Old Dominion state re

Lcokwood expressed gread dis-
annointment because President
Truman had vetoed the Dingell
bill and urged that all sportsmen
urge their congressmen to pass
the bill over tne veto wnen ses
sions are resumed in junu;..
Explaining that the bill would
divert a share of the federal ex
cise tax on angling equipment
to the states, to be used in land
acquisition and fishery improve
ment, Lockwood pointed out that
much of the fishing area on the
Rogue, Umpqua, McKenzie and
Deschutes rivers is in the hands
of private land owners ho bar
the public from access. The Din-
gen mil, ne saia, wouia proviae
funds with which the state oould
buy river frontage and access
ways. "It was a severs blow to
our plans when the President ve
toed tne Din, IjOckwooq assert
ed. We hope sportsmen will con
vince their Congressmen that the
bill should be passed over the
veto. .
Conservation on Defense
The game department, he said,
has adjusted its big game pro
gram to provide a constant popu
lation, eliminating fluctuations.
Its fishery program, badly handi
capped during war years, is now
showing favorable progress. One
of the principal nanaicaps at pre
sent is found in pressures against
conservation.
Pointing to power, .Irrigation
and flood control protects ne de
clared that "little attention is
given to fisheries. We are the
last to get consideration and we
always come out the little end of
the horn.
He urged all sportsmen to
unite their efforts In local clubs
and state organizations to pro
tect our wildlife and recreational
resources."
Lockwood was In Roseburg to
confer with Carl C. Hill, chair
man of the Oregon Game com
mission, and to Inspect work now
in progress at the Rock Creek

Lewis Sends Miners
Back To Their Jobs
(Continued from Page One)
by Lewis In a prepared state
met. He told reporters beforehand
that he would not enlarge on his
statement.
Lewis charged that the coal
operators "have been arrogant
and brutal in the withholding of
their assent." He said the com
mittee "emphasizes the fact that
the associated coal operators have
continuously declined throughout
all conferences, in whatever area
t concede the right of the mine
workers to have an honorable and
adequate wage contract."
Union Tradition Reversed
The back to work order was
the most sweeping reversal of the
union's traditional "no contract
no work" policy to date. The first
step in this direction was taken
last summer when the miners
were permitted to work three
days a week after expiration of
their contract.
Lewis declared the operators
"have expended vast sums in
public advertisements and other
wise in the publication and dis
semination of untruths and op
pressive statements."
He said "they have conspired
to cripple and destroy the mine
workers' welfare fund by resort
to lying and deceitful strata
gems." The mine chief's statement said
further: ,
'They have stooped to defame
and belittle the contribution of
the mineworkers to the national
economy; they have engaged in
reprehensible and clandestine in
trigue with financial and political
opponents of honest American
labor;
"They have concealed and de
cried enormous profits in the
mining and distribution of coal,
