John H. Hall 'Saturday, said state employes are alarmed because of a recent newspaper item quoting the state budget director as say ing it may be necessary to reject the wage and salary schedule re commended by the state civil ser vice commission because of adop tion of the old age pension mea sure. "Our association appreciates your desire and efforts to provide adequate salaries for state em ployes and also realizes that any attempt to reduce salaries at this time would be contrary to your wishes and disastrous to the state service," the letter read. The letter said most state ag encies are finding it difficult and in some instances impossible to meet their obligations to the pub lic because of inadequate staffs. The letter included figures from the civil service commission show ing that 4,492 classified employes have terminated their services with the state since Jan. 1, 1948. "The loss to the' state due to this tremendous turnover in personnel, if figured in money, efficiency and service is staggering," the letter continued. "Employes who have chosen to remain in state service have for the past several years been working for salaries 20 per cent under those paid by private1 industry." The letter said this year's $20 per month cost of living adjust ment brought some relief but stressed that the cost of living has continued to increase. "Faced with these discouraging facts there is little chance for trained and experienced personnel but to seek employment where wages are more in line with a de cent standard of living," the let ter said. Bookmaking Racing Pool Law Invalid PORTLAND. Nov. 6 -OP) -Port land's city ordinance against bookmaking and racing pools was held invalid today by three cir cuit court Judges. The Judges ruled that the or dinance conflicts with the state racing act. The city regulation prohibits bookmaking except in the enclosure of a state-licensed racing meet, whereas the state law does not restrict such activi ties to the exact place where the race is run. They declared that under the 1933 state racing act. pool-sell ing, bookmaking, and wagering on races where the pari-mutuel system of betting is employed can no longer be deemed pub lic nuisances and a crime under the law." They added that the question of whether such activities are in the public interest is a matter for the legislature, not the courts, to decide. City officials said they would study the opinion before decid- ng what action to take. The rul ing came on a case brought by the city against A. J. Duntley. owner of the Santa Anita turf exchange club. The opinion -was, by Judges James R. Bain, Walter L. Tooze and Ashby C. Dickson. 100.000 REGISTER WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 - (Jf - Nearly 100,000 officers of local and national unions now nave ruea affidavits with the national labor relations board disavowing com munism. the 58-member political commit tee of the general assembly In de bate on the Balkan problem.

Truman Upsets Traditional Maxims Dewey Blames GOP Overconfidence Five Straight Wins Sets New Party Record By D. Harold Oliver WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 -V President Truman upset many old political maxims with his victory over Gov. Dewey of New York. He tossed into the ash can so many traditional factors that ap peared to favor his opponent that the "experts" are still looking for the whys and wherefors, For example he won: A fifth straight time for the democrats, the first time any party had achieved this since the Civil war And he won despite the follow ing factors: 1. From the Civil war until now. the party winning an off-year con gressional election always went on to win the presidency two years later. The GOP captured control of congress in 1946. Split Within Ranks 2. The democratic party was split, with Henry A. Wallace win nine more than a million votes most of them perhaps from the democrats, and Gov. J. Strom Thurmond taking 38 electoral votes for the state righters 3. The "solid south" was brok en for the first time since 1928 when Herbert Hoover captured five states for 62 electoral votes 4. Many city and state party leaders, who had fought tooth and nail against Mr. Truman s nom ination, did little if anything to further his campaign. 5. The vote was small. All prev ious signs indicated the democrats needed a large turnout 55.000,000 or so to beat Dewey. The vote probably will be less than 50,000,- 000. 6. The democratic war chest Wii small. None of the old regular contributors shelled out as before. Southern state organizations di verted their cash to the anti Tru man states rights candidates. The party usually gets more than $500, 000 from the south. It received less than $50,000 for the 1948 campaign. Minus Big States 7. Mr. Truman triumphed with out the electoral votes of New York and Pennsylvania, something no canditdate of either party had done since Woodrow Wilson won over Charles E. Hughes in 1916 Why did he win despite all these impediments? That's what many politicians are still asking them selves. A few in the democratic leadership figure it out this way: He won because: 1 Of economic prosperity. Vot ers usually let well enough alone. They were afraid of a change," as one campaign leader put It. 2 He was the "underdog." A lot of people like to help an un derdog. One party chieftain said, "I know a republican who voted for Truman because . everybody else was Jumping on the little guy. 3 Of the women's vote. This was described as a "terrific factor because women going to market naturally hate high prices. 4 Of the labor vote and the Taft-Hartley act. Most all labor organizations went down the line for the president, who pledged to work for repeal of the Taft-Hartley act. Midwest Uprising 5 Of the farm vote uprising In the midwest. The president won five mid western states, including three (Iowa, Ohio. Wisconsin) which went for Dewey in 1944. Thirty-five of the house seats pick ed up by the democrats from the republicans were in eight mid western states. (The other gains were: East 27 seats, far west nine, border state seven.) 6 Of a determined drive by the democratic national committee to counteract the sweeping southern revolt following the president's nomination at Philadelphia. 7 The fight the president made for civil rights "consolidated the Negro vote in Illinois and .Ohio," this official said. "We couldn't have won without those two states. We also could not have won without capturing seven of the eleven southern states."

When reporter asked Dewey whether. In his judgment, that was the main reason for his defeat, he replied: It s one fatcor that stands out In the returns so far." Refreshed by lots of sleep, the New York; Governor announced: Going te Arizona ; "I am going to get a little holi day. I am going to Arizona to get some sunshine." He will fly to Tucson from La- Guardia field In' New York to morrow at 8 a. m. He will be ac companied on the two - week trip by his family, two friends and their families. Dewey reiterated that he has no intention of trying a third time for the presidency. But he made it clear that he did not plan to withdraw entirely from the politi cal scene. He said his decision not to try again for the White House "does n't mean that I do not .intend to be useful to my country." . t He shot back a brisk "no. air" when newsman asked whether he would give up his role as titular head of the republican party, for uie next lour years.
