The measures for Uniform Standard Time and the Old-age Assistance Act had significant margins. The time measure will establish uniform time throughout the state and give the governor authority to vary it within one hour. The Old-age Assistance Act will repeal the Dunne Pension Law of 1948, and let the state file claims against the estates of deceased pensioners.

The Republican leadership team, Robert A. Taft of Ohio and Eugene D. Millikin of Colorado, swept to victory in a record off-year ballot ing that bolstered GOP strength in both houses of Congress. Taft easily defeated Democratic state auditor Joseph D. Ferguson, who was backed by a solid Demo crat-labor coalition, while Millikin, a Taft lieutenant, won reelection over “fair dealer’’ John A. Carroll. However, in Missouri, Republican Senator Forrest C. Donnell, a thorn in the side of the Truman adminis tration, trailed Democrat Thomas C. Hennings, Jr. Several big name Democrats were blotted from the political scene, at least temporarily. Down to defeat went Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, Senator Millard Tydings of Maryland, and Governor Chester Bowles of Conn ecticut, “fair dealer’’ and former OPA chief. New York’s governor Thomas E. Dewey swept to reelection for a third term, as did California’3 Earl Warren. By 2 a.m. (ESTj the I Please turn to page seven)
