Wish Brings New Ear Portland Boys
T Confess Acts
Of Vandalism
PORTLAND, Nov4 - Pi - Two
boys identified as sons of prom
inent Portland families were ac
cused today of the Halloween
vandalism that disrupted electric
service for six hours and endan
gered streetcar passengers.
A tree was cut nearly through
on Halloween night, and rigged up
in, such a way that the passing
of the Council Crest car knocked
it across the tracks.
The tree's crash broke power
lines, bfackened out the Council
Crest residential area, put radio
station KGW off the air, and tied
up streetcar service. Streetcars
passing through the zone were
peppered with missiles, and sever
al windoWs broken.
Police said the four signed
statements, confessing both the
Halloween vandalism and dyna
miting of a streetcar waiting sta
tion a yea r go.
They were held or warrants
charging disorderly conduct. Three
will be turned over to juvenile
court. The fate of the fourth was
not yet determined.
The youths were quoted as say
ing they did not realize the extent
of the damage that would result.

Total US. Vote
To Fall Short
Of Record High
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-UP)-The
popular vote in Tuesday's elec
tions reached a total of 45,415,620
tonight with approximately 95 per
cent of the nation's polling places
reporting.
The total was considerably short
of most pre - election estimates
which ranged upward of 50,000,-
ooo.
With only 9,890 of the 135.764
polling places still unreported, it
appeared virtually certain that no
hew voting record had been set.
Most of the missing precincts lay
in rural areas and were believed
to represent comparatively small
totals.
The 1948 total at 10:45 p. m.
'(EST) was 4.404.692 votes short of
the record 49,820.312 cat in 1940
when Franklin D. Roosevelt de
feated Wendell Willkie. The cur
rent total also was 2,560,643 less
than the 47,976.263 - -second
highest in history - - registered in
1944 when Roosevelt bested Tho
mas E. Dewey.
The 45,300,212 votes cast Tues
day were divided as follows:
Harry S. Truman 22,642,357
(304 electoral votes).
Thomas E. Dewey 20,786,163
(189 electoral votes).
Henry A. Wallace 1,065,613
(no electoral votes).
J. Strom Thurmond 821,477
(38 electoral; votes).
Sweeping the democrats into
control of the house and senate,
Mr. Truman rolled up his win
ning popular and electoral vote
in 28 states. Dewey, the republican
candidate, had 16 states. Thur
mond, the states' rights democra
tic! candidate, got his electoral
votes in four southern" states - -Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi
and South Carolina.
The races were still close in
three states with incomplete re
turns - - California, Idaho, and In
diana. There was still a bare ma-
