Newspaper Page TextCalifornia Election Results Leave Many Politically Puzzling Questions San Francisco -OIPD- What happened in California? Election results in the Gold en state, soon to be the na tion's most populous, left a number of puzzles with politi cal impact across the country. California Rep u b 1 i c a n s found themselves adrift with out a leader as former Vice President Richard M. Nixon abdicated following defeat by Democratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown. And Nixon stepped down not only as the top GOP man in his home state but as one of his party's national leaders. Main political puzzles were: 1. How was Brown - the "amiable bumbler" as his op ponents called him - able to run up a plurality of about 300.000 as he led from start to finish? He had been rated as no more than an even money bet. 2. How were Democrats in an off-year election able to pick up eight and possibly nine more seats in the state's Annexation Petition Filed With Council Grants Pass - Annexation of the West Park area to the city of Grants Pass came a step closer to reality Inst night when an annexation pe tition, signed by 70 per cent of the landowners in that area, was filed with the Grants Pass city council. The council has set Dec. S as the date for the p.olic hearing. The area in question in cludes approximately 57 acres situated south of the Rogue river. Eighty-three landown ers live in the area which has the total assessed valuation of approximately $261,438. In other action the council authorized the initial steps in the improvement of Bridge st. including legal steps needed for obtaining right of way and engineering. City and county officials met at noon today with slate highway engineers and Pacif ic Power and Light company lighting engineers to discuss installing street lighting at the north and east approaches to Interstate 5 interchanges.

Rousseiot audeu mat the re alignment of his congression al district, engineered by a Democratic legislature last year, played a part in his de feat. Botii Rousselot and the other Birch Society congress man, Edgar W. Hiestand, lost Tuesday. Democrats did get out the vote - in near-record numbers for an off-year election. The secretary of state estimated the final statewide turnout was close to 80 per cent, about the same as the previ ous all-time high in 10S8 when Brown waloped former U.S. Sen. William F. Know land by more than one million votes. Pre-election estimates were that only 70-72 per cent of the voters would go to the polls. Crofoot Seeks Liquor License H. D. Crofoot, 2339 Hill side dr., told the Jackson county court this week that he will make application Friday for a liquor license. Crofoot wishes to establish a tavern in the former state office building on South Pa cific highway.

The newspaper said the prisoners had been officials of a stale -owned fish trading company and had embezzled $140,000. BRITAIN APPOINTS NATO REPRESENTATIVE London-il'I'll-Sir Evelyn Shuckburgh, deputy under secre tary at the foreign office, will become Britain's permanent representative on the NATO council, it was announced. Sir Evelyn replaces Sir Paul Mason, who will become Britain's permanent representative lo the disarmament con ference in Geneva. Sir Paul replaces Sir Michael Wright, who has retired. CREWMEN DROWN AS TRAWLER CAPSIZES Egnrsund, Norway-illPli-Three crewmen drowned Wednes day when the Danish trawler Nina Norfiskk capsized and sank off the southwestern Norwegian coast, it was reported here. Reports said three other members in the six-man crew were picked up Wednesday night by the Danish trawler Trippe. They were found adrift on a rubber dinghy. Since Democrats held an almost 3-2 edge over Republi cans in registered voters, the Democratic near-sweep came from a pick-and-shovel effort on the part of Democratic strategists to turn out the vote on election day. As for the reapportion ment of California's 28 Con gressional districts, it was en gineered by Assembly Speak er Jesse M. Unruh, a loyal supporter of President Ken nedy and a man who predict ed six months before the Nov. 6 election that the Democrats would wind up with a 25-13 edge over Republicans in Con gressional strength. Unruh hit it right on the nose. Brown said he did not think the Cuban crisis and Ken nedy's decision to throw a blockade around Cuba helped his successful fight against Nixon in any way. But Nixon's press secretary, Herbert G. Klein said the Cuban crisis came at just the wrong time in the campaign from Nixon's standpoint and that voters rallied generally to Kennedy's Democratic party. Gambling Rejected, Smylie Declares Boise -U1PII- Gov. Robert E. Smylie says his victory over Vernon K. Smith in Tuesday's election was a "decisive re pudiation of the gambling the ory." Sniylic's more than 23,000 vote pluralty was the biggest he has netted in his three suc cesses in the state governor races. "I also think that this is a rejection of my opponent and his plan lo open the state to gambling," Smylie said. But he left unsaid whether he be lieved gambling would be come an issue again some day in a state gubernatorial race. Sen. Frank Church, Demo crat, was re-elected while Rep. Gracie Pfost was edged out by appointee Len B. Jordan, Re publican, in a four-year Sen ate race.

FfiL MEDFORD'S FINEST TOY CENTER McCormack Sees Better Chance For JFK Program Washington tUPI Speaker John W. McCormack today proclaimed the congressional election "a great Democratic victory" and said it brightens prospects for passage of Presi dent Kennedy's medical care bill and other New Frontier proposals. The veteran Massachusetts lawmaker - who himself was unopposed for reelection to a 19th term in the House - said that despite a net Democratic loss of four seats in the House progressive forces will be stronger in the 88th Congress than in the 87th. Other Democratic sources privately were claiming a net pickup of 5 to 10 pro-Kennedy voles in the House, where major New Frontier battles in the last Congress were won and lost on just such narrow margins. Republicans, who Tuesday added a disappointing two seats to their minority strength in the House, were not buying the Democratic forecasts. GOP Leader Charles A. Halleck told a reporter it was too early to say whether the complexion of the House had been liberalized by Tues day's balloting. "With 176 Republicans in the House, the country may still be pretty safe," Halleck said. "I can't see that the election did anything for so cialized medicine or other New Frontier proposals." Democrats controlled the House in the 87th Congress 263 to 174. Unofficial returns from Tuesday's election gave them control in the 88th by a j margin of 259 to 176. But on balance they lost conservative j members and picked up lib-1 crals, with an apparent net gain for the liberal bloc. McCormack, in a telephone , interview from Boston, put it this way: J "We came out with a net j loss of four seats. But the progressive influence in the 88th Congress will be greater than in the 87th." Rockefeller Seen as Man To Beat For Republican Nomination in '64 Washington -it'Pli-Gov. Nel son A. Rockefeller of New York was still viewed in Re publican circles today as the man to beat for the 1964 pres idential nomination despite his weakened showing in Tuesday's election. This was one conclusion drawn by politicians trying to measure the fallout from the 1962 election with its patchwork pattern of victo ries and defeats for the two parties. Other preliminary findings: -President Kennedy will find more Democrats friend ly to the New Frontier in the 88th Congress next year de spite the loss of four Demo cratic seats in the House. The Democrats gained three or four Senate seats. -Democratic leaders called the result a vote of confidence in the Kennedy administra tion. GOP National Chairman William E. Miller said his par ty had taken a long stride to ward putting a two-party sys tem in the South and had suc cessfully tested revitalized Re publican organizations in northern industrial states. -Individual candidates who won or lost cited an assort ment of local issues and strength or weakness in par ly organization to explain the results. -The Cuban crisis was vari ously regarded as a meaning less factor in the election outcome or as a significant contribution to Democratic victories. There was no indi cation that Kennedy's Cuba policy of the previous two weeks had damaged the Dem ocrats. The Republicans made an unimpressive showing in the congressional elections, since the minority party normally gains House and Senate seats in off-year elejtions when the presidency is not at stake. However, the GOP did broaden its base of power to prepare for 1964 by reelect ing Rockefeller in New York and displacing Democratic governors in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. Rockefeller, who seems eager to be the Republican standard bearer against Ken nedy in 1964, won by a mar gin of some 550,000 votes while a new conservative party candidate was siphon ing off 120,000 votes. His plu rality was less than his 573, 000 margin in 1958 and a dis appointment to Rockefeller campaigners who wanted him to win by a million votes. While Rockefeller was win ning, former Vice President Richard M. Nixon, 1960 presi dential nominee, was cast into political limbo by failing to unseat Gov. Edmund G. Brown in California. Nixon lost by more than 300,000 votes. Gov.-elect George Romney in Michigan and Gov.-elect William W. Scranton in Penn sylvania also will get atten tion from Republicans search ing for a candidate to stop Kennedy in 1964. Both arc rated as , political novices alongside of Rockefeller, al though Scranton won by al most 500,000 votes and Rom ney by about 80,000 in a state under Democratic domination for 14 years. Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona now appears to be the only rallying point for GOP conservatives who re g a r d Rockefeller as too "liberal." But Goldwater par tisans must overcome doubts that he could carry the popu lous industrial states which have the big blocs of presi dential electoral votes.
