In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
These words are written on
Armistice Day, 1850. It is very,
very quiet. There was a sunrise
salute, which, I'm ashamed to ad
mit, I mistook for blasting at the
rock quarry out north of town.
There was a rattle of gunfire out
in the duck swamps and the grain
fields.
That was all.
I can't help harking back to this
day and this hour in 1918.
We had then just won a war to
make the world safe for tlemoc
racv. WE BELIEVED IT. Oh,
HOW we believed it! The fervor
of our belief on that 11th day of
November back in 1918 is utterly
beyond comprehension in these
cynical days of the mid-century
when nobody believes anything any
more.
The war was over. Our boys
were coming home. There wasn't
ever going to be war any more.
The blood that had been spilled had
not been spilled in vain. The world
forever afterward was to be just
and fair and llecent. There was to
be self-determination of small na
tions. No nation was ever going to bully
any other nation. There were to be
no more war lords. For the world
had been made safe for democracy
and THEN we believed in democ
racy. We celebrated. All over t h e

15.000 Rejected For
Refusal To Cross Lines

NEW YORK UP) Bitterness
spread today in the nation'a par
tial telephone strike after the huge
Bell system struck back at disrup
tive hit-and-run picketing.
Leaders of the striking CIO Com
munications Workers of America
tCWA) accused the company of a
"discriminatory lockout" in com-i
plaints to the National Labor Re

They said the company had
turned away 15,000 long-distance
operators and maintenance men
across the country who would not
pledge themselves to work "regu

their union's sporadic picket lines.
The workers affected belong to
the CWA, but not to its striking di

Michigan Vote
Lead Switches
On Oleo Figures
DETROIT (JPl Democrat G.
Mennen Williams, seemingly des
tined six days ago to be a one-term
governor, enjoyed today a lead of
nearly 900 voles in Michigan's
daffy election aftermath.
Williams' margin was his best
since the original 6000-vole edge of
hia Republican rival, former two-
term Gov. Harry f. Kelly, slipped
away in corrections of a series of
ballot counting bungles
Since the start of the corrections,
Williams and Kelly have alter
nately held the lead.
With the official canvass now
complete except for only four of
the state s 3 counties, this was
the count:
Williams 935,174
Kelly 934.287
Election officials in the four in
complete counties admitted there
still could be enough errors uncov
ered to change the rapidly-shifting
picture again. The lead already
had changed ha nils six times.
Canvassers felt, however, that
the biggest mistakes had been rec
tified. Whoever is behind at the final
tabulation would have to ask for a
recount, if any, under state law,
and foot the $21,000 bill at $5 a pre
cinct. The most unusual, if not the
largest, error came to light Mon
day in Macomb county.
Eugene Haight, chairman of a
township election board, explained!
that the vote on a referendum toicidental
permit the sale of colored oleo
margarine inadvertently was put
into the gubernatorial tally hook.
With the correction, Williams
gained 509 votes over all.
Its effect on the oleo vote was
only trifling. Oleo's sale was over
whelmingly approved.

Wide Corruption Charged
The grand jury previously had
indicted Dade county Sheriff
Jimmy Sullivan (since removed)
and seven of his deputies.
It called the sheriff "faithless
artl incompetent" and said depu
ties had been "on the payroll of
the racketeers, taking directly
from those racketeers instructions
whom to raid and whom not to
raid."
It pointed to "the corruption of
charities, churches, political or
ganizations, veterans organiza
tions, municipal governments, po
litical campaigns, elections and
public officials by these rack
eteers." The jury said that for several
years the Miami district of the Tel
ephone company "did not exercise
that extra vigilance" needed to
prevent its property from being
used for unlawful purposes.
J. M. Phillips, district manager
of the Telephone company, issued
a statement saying "we consiller
gambling a dirty business and
want no part of it."
"We categorically deny that we
have ever knowingly aided or abet
ted the operation of gambling

else," the statement said.
