6. during the fourth annual club
sale. Featured items of antique
and costumed dolls and other
antique items furnished by Mrs.
Vee Wren, Jacksonville, doll col
lector and dollmaker. The sale

from 1 to 9 p.m., Friday, and 10

Mrs." Wren is a member of the
Dollmakers Guild of America
and also furnished a number of
old dolls and items for last year's
Chin Up sale.
In all, she plans to exhibit for
sale about 25 dolls this year.
One very old one was dressed
in Spain by a Spanish nun and
depicts a sister wearing a white
Women Win Right To
Serve on Texas Juries
Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Women
in Texas appeared today to have
finally won the right to serve
on juries.
Returns showed that voters
approved a proposed amend
ment giving women the right
to serve on juries.
A similar proposed amend
ment was beaten in 1946. The
argument used against it then
was the same one used this time:
That women are too emotional
to evaluate evidence properly
and some testimony is unfit for
them to hear.
MONMOUTH STAYS DRY

mouth voters decided to keep
their town "dry" yesterday.
habit with black veil, Mrs. Wren
said. Another originally dressed
old doll is a bisque in a Spanish
American insurrection military
costume; and one doll which was
brought from Rome, Italy, is
dressed as a Swiss guard.
Other items which she plans
to include for the sale are two
very old woven willow doll
cradles; a toy white piano deco
rated elaborately with scroll
work, angels and .floral designs;
an old volume of animal stories
and a "Raggedy Ann" book.
Two McCall pattern manne
quins made about 1915 will be in
the sale collection.
Of special interest to collectors
will be a set of bustle-back dress
hoops with front corset, which
dates to 1871, the type worn by
'"Scarlet" in Gone With the
Wind, Mrs. Wren explained.
Anfi-Dueling Vows
Removed by Balloting
Columbia, S. C..P) South
Carolina voters apparently are
ready, after 59 years, to turn
their backs on the dangers of
sword-play by office holders.
Returns from a referendum
held with yesterday's general
election indicated adoption of a
constitutional amendment to
strike anti-dueling vows from
the oath of office.
Since 1895 when the present
constitution was adopted, state
officials taking oaths of office
have had to swear they had nev
er and would not duel while in
office, and would not serve as
seconds in duels.

Harriman Wins in Close Race for Governor
Of -.Hew York; GOP Hints at Court Action
Albany, N.Y. U.R) Averell
Harriman, a New Deal-Fair Deal
Democrat, won the closest battle
for the governorship in New
York history today but the vot
ers unexpectedly rejected one
of his running mates, Rep.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr.
Harriman defeated Republi
can Sen. Irving Ives by a mar
gin so narrow that Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey immediately ordered
all ballot machines and records
in the state impounded for a
public recanvass. GOP spokes
men also hinted at possible court
action. ,
Roosevelt Concedes
Roosevelt, son of the former
president, watched his early
lead in the race for attorney
general dwindle away during
the night until, eight hours after
the polls closed, he conceded the
election to Republican Rep. Ja
cob K. Javits.
In the gubernatorial contest,
it was an even closer race than
when the elder Franklin D.
Roosevelt was elected governor
in 1928 by 25,000 votes.

island today in a move to silence
artillery which has. been shel

anchor of Chiang Kai-shek's is
land chain.
Nationalist bombers raided
tiny Toumen while an undis
closed number of Chinese Com
munist planes were attacking
Tachen island just below Yi
kiangshan. Toumen is situated 1V miles
from Yikiangshan just off the
Chekiang coast.
New York's 10,436 election dist
ricts gave Harriman 2,552,127
votes to 2,539,150 for Ives, or a
plurality of only 12,977.
Immediate Recheck Asked
Republican State Chairman
L. Judson Morhouse, hoping for
a home-stretch miracle, got on
the telephone early today ask
ing GOP county chairmen
throughout the state to make an
immediate recheck of their vote
tally.
Dewey, who had campaigned
hard to make Ives his successor,
ordered police and sheriffs
throughout the state to guard all
voting records because of "the
extreme closeness of the vote."
Sheppard Jurors
Will Visit Scene
Cleveland (U.R) A char
tered bus stood by today ready
to take the Sheppard trial jury
to the scene of the murder. In
the courtroom lawyers argued
about an 11-year-old morals case
that has threatened to close
Cleveland's big show before the
curtain goes up.
The first degree murder trial
of Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard re
sumed after an election-day re
cess with the defense challeng
ing state to prove that juror No.
6 was convicted of lewd conduct
in 1943.
Assistant Prosecutor John J.
Mahon has asked Common Pleas
Judge Edward Blythin to dis
qualify and dismiss the juror,
James R. Manning, 38, a real
estate salesman.
Mahon, challegened Monday
by defense attorney William J.
Corrigan to produce the facts
about Manning, had detective
Milo Sabek ready to testify he
arrested Manning in 1943 for oc
cupying an automobile for lewd
purposes with a 16year-old boy.

AVERELL HARRIMAN
Wins in Close Race
Harriman's victory ended 12
years of stewardship at Albany
by Thomas E. Dewey, who
twice used the New York gover
norship as a springboard for un
successful tries for the presi
dency. Harriman quickly spiked
speculation he might try to do
the same.
Mexico's Prisoner Happy

Mexico City (U.R) Panetsu
Mow has been in jail two years,
and a U.S. court has ruled that
he owes the Chinese govern
ment $6,368,503.47.
"But I'm happy," he said.
Mow has a comfortable cell,
furnished with radio and books.
His attractive blonde American
secretary visits him twice week
ly, and he hopes to be freed
"very, very soon."
Two years ago Mow, a Chin
ese air force general, skipped
across the border after one of
history's biggest embezzlement
scandals exploded in Washing
ton. He was accused of lining his
pockets with a large share of
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's
$25,000,000 fund for purchasing
American warplanes.
When Mexican secret agents
caught up with him Aug. 9,
1952, Mow was living royally in
the nearby resort town of Cuer
navaca. His secretary, a former
New York model, Agnes Kelley,
now 33, was arrested with him.
Opposed Corruption
Mow readily admitted helping
himself to "some" of the money
but claimed he did it to fight
against corruption in Chiang's
Formosa government. He asked
Mexico for political asylum.
The documents that mean
freedom or extradition for Mow
now lie on President Adolfo
Ruiz Cortines desk, after two
years of shuffling through gov
ernment offices.
"I am confident Mexico will
recognize my status as a politi
cal refugee," Mdw said. "I have
done nothing to reproach myself
for, either legally or morally.
"The Nationalist China gov
ernment is persecuting me only
because I darel fight corruption.."
While waiting for a final de
cision, however, Mow admits
"things are fairly comfortable
here much better than For
mosa would be."
Safer In Mexico
Miss K.eiiey, wno nas Deen as
sociated with Mow since 1947,
brings the 50-year-old former
general books, magazines, food,
medicine and clothing. She was
held eight days in the same
guardhouse with Mow before
she was released.
Vowing to "stick around" to
help him, she lives in a modest
Mexico City apartment and
spends Monday and Friday visit
ing days .with the Chinese
prisoner.
Mow's chances of winning his
fight against extradition took a
jolt when Emilio Portes Gil, a
former president, became legal
representative of Nationalist
China in the case, and a Wash
ington, D.C. court later ruled
that Chiang is entitled to collect
$6,368,503.47, plus six per cent
interest, from Mow.
However, the one-time "fa
ther, of the Chinese air force"
said his Mexican attorneys have
assured him that Mexico will
not allow him to be extradited
because the punishment for em
bezzlement in Formosa is likely
to be more severe than it would
be in this country. He'd prob
ably face a firing squad.
"That's why I don't mind it
too much here in prison," Mow
said.
Maryland Governor
Assured Reelection
Baltimore (U.R) Republi
can Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin
won easy reelection over Demo
crat Harry C. Byrd, former pres
ident of the state university, in
a race in which school segrega
tion was a potent issue.
McKeldin, first GOP governor
in the state's history to win' a
second term, supported the Su
preme Court's decision outlaw
ing segregatin. Byrd said he
favored giving local school
boards power to maintain segre
gation if they wished.
LOGGER KILLER
Roseburg (U.R) Jesse Donald
Duncan, 24-year-old Roseburg
logger, was killed instantly here
Monday beneath a load of logs
that rolled off a truck. His death
was the 12th in Douglas county
logging accidents this year.
By Jupiter!..
.this really is
real coffee I
and gosh!
the money
you save !
"I will not be a candidate for
the 'presidency in 1956," he said.
"I'm for Adlai Stevenson."
The defeat of Ives dealt a
stunning political blow to
Dewey, who had picked him. as
his successor and masterminded
his campaign. Dewey probably
will have far less influence at
the 1956 Republican nominating
convention than he did in 1952,
when he spearheaded the nom
ination of President Eisenhower.

Dallas, Tex. (U.R) Repub
