Continue Baffle
Vienna U.Ri Hungarian reb
els fought on today, but reports
rpacliing Vienna said the over
whelming might of the Soviet
army had forced them to resort
to hit-run partisan warfare tac
tic?. The Soviet forces appeared to
be crushing organized resistance
with a- greater force than that
sent against North Africa by the
Allies in 1942.
But reports reaching Vienna
said the die-hard freedom fight
ers were girding for partisan tac
tics of sniping and sabotage to
keep the battle-torn country in
constant ferment.
Hiis would- pin down indefi
nitely an estimated 15 Soviet di
visions perhaps the full
strength of the 200.000 Red
army troops and 4.600 tanks sent
into Hungary against the revolu
tionaries. (Continued on Page 3)

Snider Elected Mayor;
Fluoridation Defeated
Off-Sfreet Parking
Being Defeated by
Narrow Margin
Storm, Sanitary
Sewers Approved
Medford voters turned down
fluoridation and off-street park
ing yesterday, but approved four
other city measures, it appeared
virtually certain this afternoon.
With only five precincts in
Medford still missing out of a
total of 30, the count on fluori
dation was yes 3.492. no 4.261.
The measure was bitterly con
tested, with doctors, dentists,'
public health authorities favor
ing the addition of sodium fluor
ide to the city water as a public
health measure, and opponents
arguing that it was not suffic
iently tested to be safe, or was
an invasion of rights.
The off-street parking mea
sure, one of four proposals com
prising the so-called "capital im
provement program," was being
defeated by a narrow margin.
The count was yes 3.609, no
3.935'.
The other capital improv
ent measures carried by sub
stantial majorities. Here is the
count: Arterial streets yes 4.001.
no 3.068: storm sewers yes 5.240.
no 1,945, and sanitary sewers
ves 4.932, no 2.042.
A three-block "island" in east
Medford was annexed to the city
by a vote of city residents, yes
5.147. no 1.480.
In the other two annexation
proposals, one was approved, the
other was defeated soundly. Re
turns here are complete.
In Berrydale, where the an
nexation issue was a hot one,
the yes vote was 240. the no vote
487.
In Kenwood-Grandview. how
ever, the yes vo.te was 342. the
no vote 283. This is subject to
later approval by Medford vot
ers before the annexation be
comes effective.

of organized labor in the slate.
McAllister was appointed jus

Snider has been council presi
dent for the past two years, and
has served on the airport, police,
land and parks committees. He is
co-owner and operator of Sni

feature which appears daily in
the Mail Tribune. He is married
and the father of three school
age children.
Snider has been on the coun
cil since 1950. Al 38. Snider is

(Tony) Manno, proprietor of
Acme Hardware store. The vote
was Bradford 1630, Manno 934.
Mrs. Gates Leads
In Ward III, Mrs. Marina
Gates appeared to be elected in
the closest council race. She is
believed by city hall workers to
be the first woman member of
the Medford city counciL She
has served for several years on
the citizens budget committee
for the city. Mrs. Gates, who led
R. L. Van Sickle by a margin of
752 to 716, is secretary to Glenn
Jackson, vice president of the
California Oregon Power com
pany. In Ward IV, Jimmy Dunlevy,
manager of radio station KYJC,
won easily over Jack Fitzgerald,
who has served on the council
for one four-year term. The vote
was 1096 for Dunlevy, 506 for
Fitzgerald.
Terms for all councilmen is
four years, for mayor two years.
Hold-over councilmen are Don
Hansen, Paul Meyers, Stanley
Jones and Fred Robinson.
This is the first election in
which no condidates were run
ning for the posts of treasurer or
recorder. Two years ago the po
sitions were made appointive and
removed from election race, at
the same time the city adopted
the city manager form of govern
ment. SIS UNANDER

House members and were lead
ing in 13 other Taces for an indi
cated total of 233. The 218 seats
fell to them at 8:15 a.m. (PST).

In the Senate races still in
doubt, two incumbent Demo

Clements leading Thurston B.
Morton in Kentucky and Sen.
Alan Bible over GOP Rep. Clif
ton Young in Nevada, and, in
the hottest contest of all. Sen.
Wayne Morse defeated former
Interior Secretary McKay in
Oregon. Democrat Kenneth Ho
lum held a narrowing lead over
Sen. Francis Case in a potential
upset in South Dakota.
GOP Gains Three Seats

senators and were leading in
one race. With 30 holdovers
their indicated total was 46, one
short of their strength now.

Kentucky.
Republican Jacob K. Javits
defealed Democrat Robert F.
Wagner for the New York seat
vacated by Sen. Herbert H. Leh
man (D-N.Y.) Former Sen. W.

orarily by appointment. And
former Sen. John Sherman
Cooper (R-Ky), Won a Democratic-held
seat in Kentucky.
Mr. Eisenhower's personal vic

greatest electoral college land
slide in U S. history. It was the
biggest Republican presidential
victory in history.
At 9:20 a.m. (PST) a United
Press count gave Mr. Eisenhow
er 30.809.862 votes and Steven
son 22.495,333. The President

per cent in 1952.
He had won 41 slates with 457
electoral votes. He needed only
266.
Stevenson had won six stales,
Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi.
Missouri, North Carolina and
South Carolina, with 66 elector
al votes and was leading irt one
(Arkansas) with eight for a pro
jected total of 74.
The presidential race had
been all over except for the de
tailed totaling up since 10:20
p.m. (PST) Tuesday when Stev
enson walked into a jammed
Chicago hotel room and conced
ed defeat with a plea for nation
al unity in a time of peril.
