room crowd of 350 at a meeting
of the Portland City Club. He said
he was a victim of a "smear" in

62 Million
Votes Tallied
Over Country
WASHINGTON (ft A record
smashing 61.547,861 total vote was
cast for president on Nov. 4 when
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower won
election by a plurality of 6.616,233.
The final official figures as tabu
lated Friday by The Associated
Press showed Eisenhower polled
33.927.549 to 27.311.316 for the losing
Democratic candidate. Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson. Other parties re
ceived 308.996.
Many records fell in the great
outpouring of voters stirred to a
new pitch of political consciousness
by a combination of popular can
didates, television and unprece -dented
get - out- the - vote drives.
The total number of ballots cast.
counting the highest vote in each
state regardless of office and in
cluding blanks and voided ballots,
was 62,042,777 not far from the
63 million goal of the vote drive
conducted by the American Heri
tage Foundation in cooperation with
50 odd private organizations.
But only 61,547,861 will go into
the official record books for pos
terity, because 434,916 of that 62
odd million total either scratched
their presidential ballots or had
them thrown out.
The total presidential vote was
11,727,549 more than the previous
record of 49,820,312 cast in the
Roosevelt-WOlkie contest in 1940.
It exceeded by 12,859,572 the 1948
election total.
Eisenhower got 55.1 per cent of
the total vote, Stevenson 44.4 and
others 0.5. Eisenhower's percent
age of the major party vote was
55.4, Stevenson ft 44.6.
Sixty-three per cent of the adult
population potential voters
cast votes for president, reversing
a downward trend that had been
in evidence since 1940.
The vote represented 81 per cent
of the nation's estimated eligiblei.
those who register, etc.

Solons Urge
Hearing Soon
On Mac Plan
WASHINGTON (J) Demands
for an immediate congressional
hearing of Gen. Douglas MacArth-
ur i views on ending the Korean
War boiled up on Capitol Hill Fri
day in the wake of President Tru
man s statement that he doesn t
think MacArthur has any new solu
tion.
Sen. Hunt (D-Wyo) said in a
letter to Chairman Russell (D-Ga)
that the Senate Armed Services
Committee has "a clear cut obli
gation, not just to the boys in Ko
rea and their parents, but to the
entire nation" to call an immediate
session.
Rep. Wickers ham (D-Okla.), a
member of the house armed serv
ices group, went further. He pro
posed a joint session of both the
Senate and House committees be
hind closed doors.
Chairman Russell expressed lit
tle enthusiasm for the idea, how
ever. ;
Pointing out that the committee
can only recommend to Congress
and has "no power to compel action
in the field of foreign relations,"
Russell said in Atlanta:
"I doubt very much that such a
meeting of the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee would serve any
useful purpose while the Congress
is not in session."
Russell added that Truman, as
commander in chief, can order
MacArthur to report to him or to
the Defense Department" when
ever he sees fit to do so."
