NeBson Rockefeller Beats IHIarriman
WMi Malf -ilHon Vote Majority
Albany, N.Y.- (LTD -Republican
Nelson A. Rockefeller
won New York's battle of the
millionaires with more than
half a million votes to spare
today, unseating Democratic
Gov. Averell Harriman.
Rockefeller's stunning per
sonal victory, in his first try
for public office and in con
trast to a Democratic tide
across the nation, pushed him
to the forefront of GOP presi
dential possibilities for 1960.
Elected with Rockefeller,
by a much smaller margin was
a new Republican U.S. sena
tor, Rep. Kenneth B. Keating
of Rochester, who will replace
retiring Republican Irving M.
Ives.
Consolation for Demos
The only consolation for
Democrats in New York ap
peared to be the election of
two congressman' in upstate
districts formerly held by Re
publicans and the still-undecided
race for state controller
in which Harriman's running
mate, incumbent . Controller
Arthur Levitt, was leading af
ter all other top ' spots had
been conqeded to Republi
cans. The 50-year-old Rockefeller

congratulations from Washington.
"He was delighted," Rock

His listeners laughed, then he
continued, "the national scene
for the Republican party."
Returns from 11,415 of the

Rockefeller cut heavily into
the normally large Democrat
tic majority in New York
City, trailing Harriman by
only about 200,000 votes. Har
riman got about 57 per cent
of the city vote, well short of
the margin needed by most
Democrats to overcome up
state Republican votes.
Keating ran far behind his
Democratic opponenl, New
York County District Attor
ney Frank S. Hogan, in the
city and won election by a
margin of a little more than
100,000 votes.
Rockefeller's victory bore
similarities to Harriman's
own election four years ago.
Neither man previously had
run for elective office. Both
had inherited large fortunes,
proved their own business
ability in family enterprises
and served in appointive posts
in the federal government.

election this year
The report stated that the
League gave Morse $1,000
for general aotivity in Ore
gon. ihe gift to Morse was
dated Sept. 26.
Since he is not running for
any office this year, Morse is
not required to file a personal
report about money he re
ceived or spent.
A. E. Lyon, chairman of the
Political League, said he did
n't know why Morse was
given the money. He said dis
bursement of funds was
handled by C. T. Anderson,
the League's secretary - treas
urer. Lyon said he didn't know
where Anderson was but he
thought he might be in Min
nesota Monday. Lyon specu
lated that the money was to
help underwrite some of
Morse's expenses as he travel
ed about the campaign trail
in Oregon this fall.
Political Arm of Union
Railway Labor's Political
League is the political arm of
the railroad unions. It was
formed by the chief executives
of the Railway Labor Execu
tives Association, the lobbying
arm of railroad labor. Lyon is
head of the association as well.
Lyon said the Political
League raises money "to help
its friends" in politics from
voluntary contributions from
railway workers or anyone
else who wishes to contribute.
He said he himself kicked in
$100 last week.
In the Pacific northwest,
the Railway League gave
money to candidates of both
parties. Rep. Edith Green (D
Ore.) received $500 for her
campaign, the report showed,
and Rep. Thomas Pelly (R
Wash.) received $450 for his.

Williams Carried
To Sixth Term
Detroit-OIPD-Gov. G. Men
nen Williams was carried to
an unprecedented sixth term
today by a Democratic tide
that swept Republican Sen.
Charles E. Potter out of office
and left Michigan without a
major GOP office holder.
Williams, one of many can
didates to take on new glitter
as a 1960 presidential con
tender, overwhelmed Paul D.
Bagwell, a polio-crippled col
lege professor who waged the
strongest campaign against
Williams in a decade.
Potter, the last Republican
to hold a major state office in
Michigan, was trounced by
Lt. Gov. Philip A. Hart, Wil
liams' popular sidekick for
the past four years.
Williams led Bagwell 1,
124,959 to 931,025 with 4,381
of Michigan's 5,162 precincts
reporting. Hart was ahead of
Potter, 1,102,791 to 921,433.

from the League for his cam
paign. Matter of Policy
The chief labor contributing
group, the Committee on Po
litical Education, AFL - CIO,
said it gives funds only to
candidates for office who have
been endorsed by the AFL
CIO. Asked whether it would
ever give money to senators
who aren't up for election but
are out campaigning,.a spokes
man said: "As a matter, of
policy we don't do it. We don't
support any traveling sena
tors or representatives."
The Machinists' Non-Parti-san
Political League followed
the same policy. A spokesman
said "it's conceivable" that
the machinists might have
aided someone who was not
running for office but he
couldn't think of any in
stances. He said they do pay
expenses or gratuities for
speaking engagements for
their political friends at ma
chinists' meetings.
Morse's administrative as

didn't know what the money
was for but would try to find
out from the Railway League.
