Loses Tuesday
In Ohio Vote
COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP) Ohio
voters,. In the first test ot public
sentiment on the Guaranteed An
nual wage issue, soundly defeated
Tuesday a CIO proposal to permit
payment of such benefits in Ohio.
Rejection of the CAW issue thus
delayed puttinu into effect immed
iately the contract the United Auto
Workers (CIO) negotiated last
summer with Ford Motor Co. It
also may delay the effective date
of a similar contract for General
Motors employes.
The contracts, heralded as a now
concept in labor - management re
lations, provided that states in
which 67 per cent of the workers
are. affected must change their
laws to permit furluughed em
ployes receiving benefits from
their company to still receive state
unemployment compensation.
Ohio's vote did not kill the eon
tracts, as the UAW may still win
changes in the laws of other states
to cover 67 per cent of the em
ployes. However, Ohio employes of
tne companies would not benefit.
All Areas Against Idea
The voters almost everywhere
voted against the CIO proposal,
which also would have boosted un
employment payments from $39 to
$59 a week maximum. Heavy, op
position was registered on the
farms and in industrial areas in
eluding Cleveland. Columbus. Day
ton, and Cincinnati.
rteturns from 6,651 of the state s
11,626 polling places showed 789.954
votes against the CIO proposal,
457,654 for it.
The Ohio vote contained a few
political implications. It dealt the
CIO prestige a heavy blow, showed
Ohioans generally opposed any
thing they thought would cost them
money, and showed some Demo
cratic gains in Columbus.
Approval of the proposal -would
have put the Ford contract into
effect immediately as 67 per cent
of the Ford workers live in Ohio
and Michigan, which permits job
less payments to furloughed em
ployes. It would have been a major
step toward approval of the UAW
General Motors contract.
Must Look Elsewhere
Defeat of the issue means the
UAW must look to other states to
put their contracts into effect be
fore next June's deadline. The
Ohio Legislature, which once de
feated the CIO proposal, cannot
consider the matter before its reg
ular session in January, 1957, un
less called into a special session
for that purpose.
This is highly unlikely, however,
as Democratic Gov. Frank J.
Lausche had opposed the CIO pra
posal. Only the governor can call
the Legislature into special ses
sion: The defeat was a blow to the
CIO, which never has been a po
tent factor in Ohio politics. Spokes
men for the union had said it plan
ned an intensive campaign in next
year's elections when Ohioans will
vote for a president, U.S. senator,
23 congressmen, state officials, and
a Legislature.
Democrats made major gains in
Columbus, in the only major Dem
ocrat Republican showdown in the
slate.
Incumbent Democratic Mayor M.
E. (Jack) Sensenbrenner, a polit
ical unknown when he broke the
GOP 20-year reign on city hall by
327 votes, defeated veteran Repub
lican Councilman J6seph R. Jones
by 7,318 votes.
When first elected two years ago,
Sensenbrenner was the only Dem
ocrat winning office. This year he
took a Democrat and an insurgent
Republican with him to break the
GOP solid lineup in city council.

Hall Disagrees With
Significance Placed
On Demo Triumphs
WASHINGTON (UP) Demo-1
cratic National Chairman Paul M.
Butler today hailed his party's
smashing gains in many state and
local elections as a growing na
tional trend to the Democrats in
next year's presidential elections
But Republican National Chair
man Leonard W. Hall said yes
terday's scattered off-year elec
tions had 'no national signifi
cance." He predicted that next
year, with the presidency and con
trol of Congress at slake, the
country will give the GOP 'a re
sounding vote of confidence."

of yesterday's contests In which

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UP) - For-'
rner Baseball Commiss oner A. B.
(Happy) Chandler pushed his way
back Into the national DoUMcal
limelight "today by winning the
KWMeky governorship with what
may be an all-time high vote.
chandler's lead edged above
1U0.U00 early today with returns
in from 2,344 of Kentucky's 4,044
precincts.
The count was Chandler 300,741
Republican Edwin R. Denney 200,-
706,
Chandler had an ' excellent
chance of bettering the record
margin of 106,000 run up by former
Gov. Keen Johnson, a Democrat
i the 1939 governor's race.
Chandler's tremendous victory
margin came as a surprise to Ken
tucky political observers because
the one-time governor and former
senator ran up his vote without
any help from Kentucky's present
Gov. Lawrence W. Wetherby.
Had Expected Split
A spilt In Democratic ranks, an
outgrowth of the August primary
battle in which Chandler defeated
the Wetherby candidate. Judge
Bert T. Combs, Prestonsburg, had
been expected to hold v-liandlcr s
victory margin to no more than
50,000.
Nationally, Chandler's victory Is
expected to play a part In the
1956 Democratic National Conven
tion. As governor, Chandler will
lead Kentucky's delegation, a cir
cumstance not expected to help
the candidacy of Adlai E. Steven
son. Chandler is looked upon as a
member of the southern conserva
tive Democratic wing opposed to
Stevenson.
The Chandler victory, however,
might help the .chances of Sen,
Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn). There
have been widespread reports here
that Chandler looks upon Kefauver
with favor.
Wins Assembly Control
Chandler carried with him
victory a complete slate of nine
Democratic stale officials, also
won easy control for his party
in the General Assembly
One surprising aspect of the
Kentucky election came on a pro
posal to amend the state Constitu
tion to lower the legal voting agi'
from 21 to 18 years.

But Butler said:

. . . (It) springs from the Injection
