'WE TOO' WAS LUCKY
'Act of Providence' Saves
Six from River Disaster
'. Lovers Point, Md., May 31 M Six persons agreed today that
only an "act of Providence" saved them from injury or death
when their little pleasure boat sank in the dark waters of the
Potomac river Sunday night. '
The six, who had boarded
the vessel at Piney Point, Md.,
In the afternoon for a fishing
trip down the river, were picked
up by the motorship "Seafarer"
after they had clung for two
hours to the superstructure of
the partially-submerged craft,
the "We Too."
One of the rescued, George
Crosby, a refrigeration engineer
of Washington, telephoned that
the "Seafarer" just "happened
by the scene." He said it was
only by the sheerest good for
tune that all escaped injury.
Crosby said the "We Too,"
which is owned by Wilbur M.
Sherwood of Washington, began
shipping water through a faulty
hose connection. He said the
passengers aboard the craft did
not notice the trouble until the
ship became "sluggish."
The six passengers donned life
preservers, he said, and the ship
sank within five minutes. Luck
ily, however, he added, it sank
over a sand bar so that the
superstructure was never com
pletely under water.
Only two states have more
counties than Kentucky's 120.

There is no dispute about
who lost that election. The re
publicans lost it, and the com
mittee does not attempt any fast
figuring to challenge that fact.
But the republicans do argue
that labor claims too much
when it takes credit for Mr. Tru
man's election.
In 44 pages of text and up
wards of 100 pages of statistical
tables, the committee has analy
zed last November's returns
more thoroughly than any pre
vious election ever was analy
zed. If you have wondered by
what percentage the Gallup poll
over-estimated the nation-wide
republican vote for president
last year, the answer is 4.4 per
cent. The Crossley poll was
wrong by 4.8 percent.
Don't be too hard on the poll
takers. These fresh republican
statistics show that the Ameri
can people voted last November
against the trends and against
tradition.
The American political trend
for 20 years or more has been
for a presidential ticket to
build up popularity and momen
tum sufficient to sweep into of
fice many congressional candi
dates who were not strong
enough to win on their own
Scores of congressional candi
dates rode the late FDR's coat
tails to such victories.
The republican election analy
sis shows that President Truman
was not able to give 1948 demo
cratic congressional candidates
such a life. In nearly a dozen big
industrial cities, Mr. Truman
ran behind the democratic con
gressional candidates. These
cities were Baltimore, Chicago,
Cleveland, Columbus, Denver,
Detroit, Jersey City, New York,
Philadelphia and St. Louis.
