It was 310.646 for Holmes to 308,273 for Smith with 2,232 precincts reported. By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. PORTLAND (ffi Slate Son. Hoberl D. Holmes, seeking to be I he first Democratic governor of O-f -nn to Im elected in 22 years, forged ahead Wednesday afler mi'tii in his contest against GdV. Elmo Smith. Republican in office nine months. With Holmes gaining on each tabulation, he held a 287,385 to 286,800 margin over Smith. The report was from 2,116 of 2,532 pre cincts. If Holmes, former manager of an Astoria radio station, should win, he would be the first Demo crat to be elected governor since Charles H. Martin was elected in a three-way contest in 1934. Hatfield, U minder In Serving on the Board of Con trol, which Holmes wants to abol ish, would be State Sen. Mark Hatfield, Salem, apparently elect ed secretary" "of stale;- and State Treasurer Sig Unander, reelected by a huge margin Both are Re publicans. The governor is chairman of the board, which rubs the state institutions. Gov. Smith, who inherited his office last Jan. 31 on the death of Gov. Paul Patterson, had a 13,000-volc edge five hours after the polls closed. But the margin steadily dimin ished as late returns from Mult nomah County rolled in.

Eddie Ahrcns of Turner and Rob ert L. Elfstrom, Salem, both Re publican incumbents, kept Ihe lead throughout the counting for two Schrunk Wins Over Peterson In Mayor Race PORTLAND Wi Sheriff Terry Schrunk defeated incumbent May or Fred Peterson in the bitterly fought Portland mayoralty cam paign. Schrunk, the 43-ycar-old sheriff of Multnomah County, took an eariy lean ana ncia u an inc way, j He had a margin ol 12.000 voles early Wednesday; Peterson, conceding defeat.' of fered his successor the benefit of his experience if "he may believe it useful. 1 All but one of the seven special , city measures apparently was de feated: fluoridation, parking commission, sewer construction, a plan to split Ihe proposed Ex position recreation center, the sal ary increase for city employes and the attempt lo legalize pin halls. The crux of the situation foe-1 ing tho U.N. General Assembly, as It met Wednesday lo work out a police force to bolster the peace, was what to do about these forces already in Egypt. The Security Council already has refused to lake up a Soviet plan for Uniled Stales and Kussi-in intervention. The Egyptian embassy in Mos cow said Soviet -eserve oflicers hnd volunlor red tor service in Egypt. The Egyptian ambassador lo Red China reported in Hong Kong that 250,000 Chinese Communists had volunteered to join "Egypt's struggle against aggression." British and French forces which seiJed the northern end of the Suez Canal Zone in an invasion launched Mnndav 9 were under orders lo hold their fire un!c5S aMacked. The government-controlled Cairo Radio told Egyptians there was Victory spots on the ticket, hut winners (or jhc other two seals remained a wild scramble. . On Ihe basis of unofficial returns from 115 complete and 11 incom plete of Marion counly's 127 pre cincts, it was a "hoss race" lor sure between the next three. Guy - Jonas, Salem Democrat, had crept tip to third place, but dogging him closely were Winlnn Hunt, Republican of Woodburn. and W. W. Chadwick, Salem, Re publican incumbent. Only 144 votes separated the top man and the third place one among the trio. Jonas garnered 20.575 votes in the 115 complete and 11 incomplclc precincts, followed by Hunt with 20,493, and Chadwick with 20,431. In the count for the 115 com plete and 11 incomplete, unoffi cial. Ahrcns and Elfstrom contin ued lo lend, Ahrcns chalking up 23,221 votes and Elfstrom 21,661. Second top man on the Demo cratic side was Steve Anderson, but his count-was 'well below the others with a total of 17.679.

Wayne Morse, bitterly attacked by the Republicans as a foe of President Eisenhower, Wednesday survived both the Eisenhower landrlidc and a hard-driving campaign by Re publican Douglas McKay. Morse won re-election with a steadily svel!!ng margin. Oregon's six electoral votes went lo Eiscnhowe.' but the magic of the President's name failed to pull McKay along. Two Republi can congressmen were linking tough fights, too. McKay quit as secretary of the Interior, with the President's good wishes, in an effort to unseat Morse, a thorn in the administra tion's side. He trailed in the vote counting almost from the outset and, when .. complete .precinct re ports began to come in from Mult nomah County the outcome was settled. With 2.205 precincts reported, it was Morse 266,233 and McKay 230,737. President F;isenhowcr at the same time led Adlal htovenson 277,141 lo 221.620 a 55 per cent margin compared with 61 per cent four years ago. Typically- in Oregon's slow counting, the Democratic vote gains after the halfway mark. Just. after 10:30 a. m. McKay conceded and sent Morse a mes sage of congratulations. Two members of the House, Rep. Edith Green D) and Hep. Waller Norblad (R) were re elected. Rep. Harris Eilsworlh, Repub lican and dean of the Oregon delegation, narrowly trailed Charles Porter, the same man he beat handily two years ago. Rep. Sam Coon and his Demo cratic opponent, Al Ullman, were in a see-saw affair with Coon ahead but falling behind ns the halfway mark was passed in Ihe count, and Coon (old Ullman "it looks like you arc in." And just as it was uncertain how these congressional contests would come out, it was not clear at midday who would he Oregon's next governor. Gov. Elmo Smith, Republican, was in front but Dem ocrat Robert Holmes was closing fast in laic morning. Foes Exchange Statements as Doug Concedes j PORTLAND (IlP)-Sen. Wayne Morse won his third term in the Uniled Stales Senate today, this lime as a Democrat, and his Re publican opponent, Douglas Mc Kay, conceded defeat late in the morning. McKay, who campaigned as a member of the Eisenhower team, dropped steadily behind and sent a message of congratulation to his bitter rival when figures showed Morse ahead, 266,390 to 232,173. "I look forward lo retirement from arduous duty alter 25 years of public service." the former In terior secretary said after sulfer ing his lirsl election defeat in pub lic life. I have sent eongraiulallons to Sen. Morse upon his reelection 1n;:mnn 'In the Senate. Morse issued a statement in which he said "I want to thank the people ol Oregon lor the great public trust they have given to me for another six year term in the United States Senate. I shall ; continue to dedicate myself lo Ihe jbest interests of Oregon and Ihe j nation as God gives me the light i to see the right." I Mnise twice before had been rleilrd as a Itepubliran. but broke ranks wilh the GOP dur 'in; the IM2 campaign. 3 Senators of Each Party Beaten WASHINGTON Ml Democrats clinched control of both branches of Congress Wednesday despite the avalanche of votes that swept President , Eisenhower " back it0! ollice in Tuesday s election At 1:23 p.m. EST they elected their 49lh senator to give them a numerical edge. Earlier, at 12:50 p.m. they elected their 219th rep resentative lo assure a majority in that branch. Never before In the history of the present two-party system hnd a President failed to carry lo elec tion with him at least one branch of Congress. Congressman Dies One of the Democrats' mem bers-elect to the House, Rep. An tonio M, Fernando, of New Mex- ico, died shortly oiler his re-clnc-tion. The scat must be fille'd in a special election, with election of a Democrat expected. Fcrnnndez was a veteran of 14 years in Con gross. At the time the Democrats readied tne 21H mark, ono more than a bare majority, Republicans had elected 107. Of the 435 House seats, 19 still were undecided with Democrats ahead in 14 and Republicans in 5. Democrats had elected 17 scna tors and Republicans 15, with Democrats nhend in an undecided contest in Kentucky and Repub licans leading in South Dakota. Democrats have 31 holdovers and Republicans 30. Duff Defeated Republican Sen. James II. Duff of Pennsylvania, one of Eisenhow er's earliest supporters, went down lo defeat at the hands of Democrat Joseph S. Clnrk Jr.. 55-ycnr-old former mayor of Phila delphia. With Duff s defeat in his re election bid, the Democrats had wrested three seats from the Re publicans. In Idaho, they beat Sen. Herman Wclkor. In Ohio, Sen. George H. Bender of Ohio lost lo Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lauschc. Rut the Republicans also had picked up three scats from the a stand-off'. The Republican gains ' Democrats, so Ihe net effect was were made in New York, hen lucky and West Virginia. Republican candidates generally lagged far behind Eiscniiower. In Pennsylvania for example.

But despite this greatest popular volo bulge in any presidential race since 1036, Democrats .elected the- 219 members they needed to keep control of the House. Republicans had elected 19?. Democrats were leading in 14 of the undecided races and Republicans in 5. In the Senate, the Democrats at 1:23 p.m. won their 49th Sen ate scat to gain control. Repub licans had 45 assured seals.
