California 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.

year, played a part in his de

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

votes. Pre-election estimates
were that only 70-72 per cent
of the voters would go to the
polls.

ROMANIAN COURT SENTENCES 11 TO PRISON
Vienna-Ui'i-A Romanian court has sentenced 11 persons
to prison terms ranging from 4 to 25 years for embezzling
"socialist properly," the Romanian Communist newspaper
Scienteia said Wednesday.
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.

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.
