California Votes
Pension Repeal
San Francisco. Nov, 9 UP .Cali
fornia voters apparently have had
enough of their new pension law'.
Returns from 9,738 of the
state's 14,203 precincts showed
they voted 854,031 to 644.819 yes
terday to repeal the pension plan
passed in the November, 194,
elect Ion.
The plan boosted pensions $10
a month to S75 for the aged and
$85 for the blind. The repeal left
the higher payments in effect for
persons w'ho have lived in Cali
fornia five yenrs.
However, the repeal mensure
requires pensioners to be 65. Lnst
year's plnn lowered the age to 63.
The repeal measure also allows
Gov. Earl Warren to name the
director of the department of so
cial welfare. It ousts the present
director, Mrs. Myrtle Williams,
who formerly was secretary of
George H. 'Mcljiln's "citizens
committee for old age pensions"
which won passage of the higher
priced plan last year.
Opposition to the repeal was
led by McLain and the committee.
At a late hour last night, McLain
refused to concede the repeal had
passed.
"I don't trust these 'snap tal
lies," too much," he said.
In other issues, California vot
ers approved bv substantial ma

The democratic party swept

in nailing me results as proof
that his "fair deal" has greater
popular support than at the time

I he storm, which brought 50-
mile-an-hour winds along the Ore

shipping at the Columbia river's
mouth,, swept over the Cascade
mountains with a rainy wake.'
The ships Swarthmore Victory
and Cricket were halted at the
Columbia river bar until the
winds moderated after midnight.
The rains brought prospects of
higher electricity output at hydro
generating plants. Slight rises
were forecast for the lower Snake
river and Its tributaries. All trib
utaries of the Columbia west of
the Cascades were also scheduled
to rise.
The first snow lh Klamath Falls

The first alarm was sounded at
3:33 a.m. Lebanon's volunteer

Another Walkout Possible
November 30; Move Believed
Part of Strategic Maneuver
By Alfred Leech
(t 'nilril Pri-M Slrtlf Ciim-ponilrnl)
Chicago, Nov. 9 (U.P) John L. Lewis, United Mine Work
ers union chief, today unexpectedly ordered ull striking
miners in the bituminous coal fields to return to work imme
diately but threatened a new walkout Nov. 30.
The order affects 280,000 UMVV members east of the Mis
sissippi river who have been on strike since Sept. 19. The
strike now is in its 52nd day.
Lewis and his 200-man policy committee, in a resolution
passed unanimously, ordered
the UIW members to con-i
tinue work until midnight,
Nov. 30, under the terms,
wages and conditions of em
ployment in effect under the
wage agreement which ex
pired July 1, 1949.
Lewis' order did not stipulate
whether miners would go back on
a three-day week, which they
were working just before their
walkout, or on a five day week.
Statement Issued
Some observers at the UMW
meeting believed the return
would be on a three-day basis,
since the old contract provisions
provided for an eight-hour day
but did not specify the days per
week.
In Pennsylvania, however, the
office of United Mine Workers
district five said that its men
would work a five-day week.
A union statement, believed to
have been written for the most
part by Lewis, said the back-to-work
order was "an act of good
faith designed to contribute to
public convenience.
However, infonrfcd sources In
terpreted Lewis acion as "beat
ing the administration to the
punch." Federal mediation direc
tor Cyrus S. Ching has summon
ed Lewis and the bituminous
mine operators to a meeting in
Washington tomorrow in an at
tempt to end the walkout. If that
meeting failed, President Truman
could be expected to act.
Observers said that when Lewis
orders the miners back to work
he is free to call them out again.
But he would be hampered in a
strike call if the men were order
ed back by injunction.
Lewis called the walkout, in
cluding all anthracite miners and
soft coal miners east and west of
the Mississippi river on Oct. 1. He
later ordered the anthracite min
ers and soft coal miners west of
the Mississippi to return to work.
WHITE HOUSE PLEASED
Washington, Nov. 9 UPi The
White House today hailed as
"good news" John L. Lewis' return-to-work
order to striking coal
miners.
Presidential press secre t a r y
Charles G. Ross was informed of
the decision of Lewis and the
United Mine Workers' policy com
mittee and said, "That is good
news, isn't it."

Election Returns Bring More
Bad N ews to Republican Party
By Lyle C. Wilson
(United Preta Staff Correspondent)
Washington. Nov. 9 (IP Re
turns from scattered elections
across the country chilled repub
licans today and fired President
Truman's party with confidence
for 1950 and 1952.
The 1948 democratic tide re
mains strong.
Best news for the GOP was re
election of republican Gov. Alfred
E. Driscoll in New Jersey, which
was followed before dawn today
by boss Frank Hague s resigna
tion as leader of the democratic
party in that state.
Driscoll licked democratic state
Sen. Elmer Wene who had the
support of Hague's tarnished po
litical machine. A two-time repub
lican winner, Driscoll becomes a
young man to watch. He is 47
years old.
Another democratic boss got
his lumps in Boston. There Mayor
James M. Curley lost his office to
a political novice, City clerk John
B. Hynes. But It was a non-partisan
contest and no outright gain
for the GOP.
Curley struck out in the 50th
year of his political career. He
ana Hague were of the hard
school of the famous bosses of
our times, Penrose, Pendergast,
crump, Keuy, ana cnarley Mur
phy of New York.
Issues Clearly Defined
New York endorsed in yester
day's voting Mr. Truman's high
tax, big spending domestic pro
gram. In that state, former Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman, democrat,
