Return from Tuesday' elec tion, not yet conclusive, also In dicate that the I-cent a naokane cigarette tax and school district reorganisation measures are head ed for defeat. There'a no doubt, however, that the- long-haul truckers took a hard beating In their two-ply attack on the welght-mlle truck tax. By more than a 1 to 1 margin, the votera- rejected the truckers' bill that would have, outlawed weight - mile truck taxes. And by almost 3 to 1, they voted for the Legislature' bill to boost these taxes 11,930.000 a year The proposed constitutional amendment to. allow restaurants. clubs, fraternal and veterans or ganizations and railroads to sell liquor by the drink was carrying by a small margin. If It passes, the Legislature then would have to pass a law to make such llauor sales possible. Parl-mutuel betting on horse and dog races apparently will remain legal, as the Oregon Council of Churches' bill to abolish It seemed headed for defeat. The amendment for compulsory reapportionment of the Legislature had a big majority, meaning the Senate and House will be reap portioned tor the first time since 1910. Efforts to abolish state milk con trol at the retail and wholesale levels apparently failed, while the people voted overwhelmingly to ban daylight saving time. For the fifth time, the voters snowed under a proposed cigarette tax. This tax would have been 3 cents a package. The two school bills were being defeated. One would set up uni fied school districts and thus make It essier to consolidate districts, and the other would have hsd the state superintendent of public In struction appointed by the state board of education - ' .

EISENHOWER Liquor BUI Delayed PORTLAND tut You won't be able to buy liquor by the drink in Oregon ior several more months. Although the people amended the Constitution Tuesday to allow restaurants, veterans and fraternal organizations, clubs and railroads to sell drinks, the Legislature still must enact the law to aet up the new system. The Legislature meets Jan. 11. It probably will take at least a couple of months to get the legis lation passed. If the lawmakers put an emer gency clause on the new law, then liquor would be sold by the drink aa aoon as the law was passed. But If no emergency clause were attached, then the law wouldn't go Into effect until 90 days after the Legislature adjourned. That would delay liquor by the drink until July or August. The sponsors of the amemdment said Wednesday they would seek passage of such a law that will nave "strong regulations to pro mote moderation and temperance." No Telegram From Morse WASHINGTON HI Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who bolted the Republican party to support Adlal E. 8levenson Wednesday wired President Tinmen: "Your record Is an Indelible one in the history of our country while that of your detractors will soon fade away." Morse also sent a telegram to Stevenson but none to Gen. Dwlght D Elsenhower who rolled Oregon Into his column In spite of the Morse bolt. Asked by a reporter If he In tended to send any type of mes sage to Elsenhower, Morse re plied: "No, I am not a hypocrite."

I ahnr Rnccgc Take Beating WASHINGTON Ml Organized labor's long era of especial in fluence In government, such as It enjoyca unaer iac lAmwiiiuc "New Deal" and "Fair Deal" ap oear over. The union bosses took a terrific licking In Tuesday's elec tions. All tbe union leaders, with ona or two exceptions, supported the Democratic cause and urged the nation's workers to do likewise. But it seems aoDarent from the record vote and what happened In the bia- industrial area that the workers largely Ignored the urging or ineir leaoers. -Tbe Tlctory of Gen. Dwlght D. Elsenhower demonstrated that la bor unions lack the power, to a far greater degree than was often claimed, to deliver worker votes in key elections. Most of the union leaders de clined any comment when tbe pro portion of Elsenhower's victor; be came known. But one. Jack KroD, director of the CIO's Political Action Commit tee, said: "General Eisenhower has been selected as the president oi au me American people. He Is entitled to their support in carry ing out the duties and obligations of that high office." These are a few of the things the election results will probably mean xor union laoor; 1. The unions very likely won't have the same degree of sympa thy at the White House under El senhower that they had under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. Elsenhower has pledged to be fair to labor and every other element of Oe population. But this sounds like a far different approach than the frank partisanship In behalf of labor which the unions enjoyed under Roosevelt and Truman 2. There won't be any repeal of tbe Taft-Hartley labor law. Eisen hower has promised to make need ed changes in he law, without be ing specific. New Mayors In Basin Three Klamath Countv commu nities elected new mayors to office yesterday, all but one by decisive vote. Tom Laird, a Malln druggist, edged out Incumbent Mayor John Reber 41 to 40 in that town's race, while Dr. Jack Martin and Ray Van Meter trailed with 27 and 20 votes each. Louis Kalina drew 13 votes. ' Bob Walker, Merrill business man, defeated Incumbent Mayor Frank Trotman 105 to 74. Trotman has been mayor there for four two-year terms. In Chiloquin James Chlpman topped his nearest rivals by a two-to-one margin and will replace William Lorenz as mayor of that central Klamath county commu nity. Walter Pohll was the only other candidate on the ballot, and he polled 48 votes. A flurry of write-in candidates for the Chiloquin mayorallty saw Pst Rice compiling 46 votes, Bill Lorenz (who was not running again) 44, and Fred Markwardt 43. For the office of Malln recorder Charles Hamilton won with 108 votes over George Hlnz with 49 and Edgar McOee with 30. Vatz Kalina wss named treasurer with 178 votes, and six men were named alderman.

In the aftermath to the great outpouring of Ameri cans who liked Ike, President Truman made a gesture of closing ranks behind the 62-year-old war hero whose election he had fought so bitterly. From his one-tuno campaign train, en route from Independence, Mo., to Washington, Truman tele graphed congratulations to Elsen hower, He offered the President-elect the use of the presidential plane 'Independence" for the trip to Ko . rea which Eisenhower pledged dur ing his campaign ho would make. Truman suggested, too, that El senhower send s representative to help with the government budget which is to be submitted to Con gress early In January, Eisenhower thanked Truman for the offer of the Independence, but said be would use a military planet and would let the secretary of de fense know when he wanted to leave. The general plans a rest at Augusta, Ga., before the trip. OTPinpvoAtf Gov. Adlal E.

With sbout 23.000 voting units still not reported, Elsenhower's ag gregate vote was close to the 30 mllllon mark. The previous record was 37.75I. 597 received by Franklin D. Roose velt hi 1938. But despite the Elsenhower (ConUnned on page 3) Portland Race Close PORTLAND W Portland resi dents were Just about even-Stephen on whether to return Mayor Dor othy McCullough Lee to office or to replace her with Fred L. Peter son. Peterson was slightly ahead Wednesday. At the start of count ing Tuesday night Mrs. Lee went in front, then her lead ran out and to nearly noon Wednesday she hadn't regained It. With 143 of 829 precincts complete it was Peter son 20,724 and Lee 18,008. The Journal said it might possibly be early Thursday before the outcome was certain. In other city affairs the voters were more definite. They gave Stanley Earl, one-time CIO leader and a government man in Seoul when the Korean fighting ' broke out, a big margin for a seat on the council. They returned Nate Boody to the council. He got there on appointment after Jake Ben nett was recalled. Again the people apparently turned down a pay boost for city employes by turning down a tax levy for that purpose. However they were approving a measure to allow the budget committee, the council and the county tax con servation commission to aet the salaries of the mayor and com missioners. Trailing were revenue meas ure for a new zoo, a transit and narking commission and a blighted zone redevelopment. Running in front were a civil defense levy, sewer bonding measure, dock Im provement and an annexation.
