Returns from yesterday's possibly record balloting piled up the greatest election victory in Warren's long career. His amazing majority, climbing toward the 900,000 mark, demanded new national attention for the big, popular vote-getter. The count from 15,390 of 18,408 precincts showed; Warren 1,671,988, Roosevelt 887,082. Fast-rising young Rep: Richard M. Nixon (R) of Whittier rode into office as U.S. Senator. He interpreted his thumping defeat of Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas (D) as a mandate to fight on against President Truman's foreign policy. Returns from 14,068 precincts: Nixon 1,425,682, Douglas 1,022,-888. Republicans seemed assured of retaining their 12-11 margin in Congress, if not increasing it. Some races were close. In the state legislature, continued GOP control of both Houses was clearly indicated. Breaking into the GOP trend, Democrat Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, San Francisco's district attorney, beat out Edward S. Shattuck of Pasadena for state attorney general. He will succeed Republican Fred N. Howser, defeated in the primaries. The vote from 13,214 precincts: (Benued on Page 4) Searchers Reach Crashed Airliner, Find 22 Dead BUTTE, Mont.

Ground parties who reached the Northwest Airlines plane reported the four crewmen and the 18 passengers were dead. Ground searchers got to the wreckage within two hours after Butte police chief Bart J. Riley relayed a search radio report that a helicopter had sighted the missing... Colonist Seniors Follow State in Voting Session AUHS Seniors held pretty much with the older state voters yesterday as they registered their choices in a formal and complete election. The balloting culminated two weeks work studying various candidates, issues and propositions by Colonist senior problems classes. All the formalities of a regular election were observed during the project, reported AUHS journalism teacher Howard Hall. Ballots, official ones, were extras procured from the post office. The Colonists retained Governor Warren in office by a 131-46 vote. Senatorial aspirant Richard Nixon eclipsed Helen Douglas on the Colonist ballot by 101-76. In the attorney-general race, Edmund Brown edged Edward Shattuck by an 86-80 margin. Candidate Claude Watson received 12 votes. AUHS students favored C. H. Hunt over Haskell Kelley for constable of Anaheim township by an 83-81 vote. Sam Keith, who makes his living as a Colonist coach, got seven write-ins. On the propositions, the Colonists denied number 1 with 135 noes and 43 yeses; voted legalized gambling down 148-30; and went 103-75 for the public housing vote proposition 10. Governor’s Stricken Daughter Better Today; Crisis May Be Over Says Medic SACRAMENTO (P)—Governor Earl Warren's youngest daughter, Nina, stricken with infantile paralysis, was a little better today, and a doctor said there is hope the crisis has passed. Special serum—aimed at arresting the disease which has paralyzed both her legs—was administered after its arrival on a mercy flight from Chicago. Dr. Junius B. Harris, one of four attending physicians, said: "Her condition has improved. She was very alert and happy this morning." Dr. Harris said the temperature of 17-year-old "Honey Bear" is normal. She has no more headache or backache and the paralysis has not spread: She took some nourishment — gruel and fruit juice. Her temperature was up to 102 yesterday. The serum from Chicago was rushed here by a National Guard C-47 plane which picked it up in San Francisco, 90 miles away. With sirens screaming state police cars took it the five miles from municipal airport to hospital in six minutes. Said one of the drivers, state policeman Edward J. Patterson, of Governor Warren's relationship to the youngest of his three pretty blond daughters: "She is his heart." For Warren, Nina's serious illness meant heavy anxiety in the midst of a great political triumph. The Republican governor was elected to a third term yesterday with a huge margin over Democrat James Roosevelt. ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

(Gazette photo by Gregor GOP Election Successes Stun Democrats--Home And Foreign Policies Hit By JACK BELL Associated Press Political Reporter Democrats kept numerical control of Congress by the thinnest of margins today, stunand battered by Republican election successes that challenged President Truman's home and foreign policies. Bowling over top administration leaders, the GOP captured a net of five Senate seats yesterday's voting. This boosted its Senate line-up in the upcoming 82nd Congress to 47, against the Democrats' 49. With 25 House contests still to be decided, the Republicans had gained 25 places to use their total to 187. The Democrats held 222, or four more than the 218 needed for control. One Independent won in Ohio. Except for Democratic pockets in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Ohio, Nevada and Arizona, GOP Senate and governor candidates rolled roughshod over their opposition everywhere outside the South and 100 Allied Warplanes Blast Reds Along Manchuria Front By The Associated Press SEOUL (AP)—Six hundred Allied warplanes blasted North Korea all along the Manchurian border today to block reinforcements from communist China. But air observers reported 700 vehicles were rolling across Manchuria toward the border. The convoy was 40 miles east of Antung on the Yalu river boundary. The reds are coming down a road that passes into Korea at the huge hydroelectric dam. The U. N. air arm mounted one of the largest raids of the Korean war, reinforcements arrived on the Korean east coast. Members of the U. S. third in-air division landed at the Port Wonsan. In the ground U. N. troops moved forward on all fronts. The explained communist withdraw continued. Intelligence officers at Gen. MacArthur's Tokyo headquarters clamped a surprise news brief on developments between communist battle lines and Manchurian border. They said clampdown would be temporary. They declined to answer questions about the reds' ultimate intentions — whether the communists presumably were planning attack, trying to consolidate their lines or preparing a series of delaying actions. An historic sidelight to the war, jet met jet in a fight to death for the first time. The siege occurred over the North Korean border city of Sinuji, they target for the 600 plane built. American F-80 Shooting jet shot down a Russian-made B-15 jet fighter while the missiles sped at better than 600 mph and hour. Another red jet damaged but escaped to Manchuria. Both said the red jets tried to capture them across the border in Manchuria—a new tactic. N. planes have been ordered by clay of Chinese communist forces dumped 640 tons of ammunition. US Presses Removal of China Reds LAKE SUCCESS (AP) — The United States today charged the Chinese communists with direct military intervention in Korea, and urged the United Nations Security Council to require the Mao-Tze-Tung regime to withdraw it forces. Warren R. Austin, chief American delegate, told the council there are indications that 30,000 Chinese communist troops are in Korea and that the number is increasing. He said the United (Continued on Page 5) Douglas Concedes Without Congrats LOS ANGELES (AP)—Nearly 17 hours after the polls closed, Democratic Senatorial candidate Helen Gahagan Douglas finally conceded victory today to her Republican opponent, Rep. Richard Nixon. Nixon had been running ahead of her since the first returns. Mrs. Douglas statement: "It now seems certain that Richard Nixon has been elected and that California has two Republican Senators. I personally shall continue to work for the Democratic party program, which I firmly believe is in the best interests of the people at home and abroad." The challenge we face as a Except for Democratic pockets in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Ohio, Nevada and Arizona, GOP Senate and governor candidates rolled roughshod over their opposition everywhere outside the South and the borderline states. Smashing defeats for such administration lieutenants as Senators Scott Lucas of Illinois and Francis J. Myers of Pennsylvania were attributed widely to voter dissatisfaction with the progress of the Korean war, opposition to President Truman’s foreign decisions and his “Fair Deal” program, and reaction to communists-in-government charges. Mr. Truman, relaxing aboard the yacht Williamsburg, was described as disappointed over these results but pleased with the size of the vote. The total figure is not yet known but apparently it was well over 40,000,000, a record. “Of course he was disappointed,” Press Secretary Charles G. Roos told reporters. He referred to the unseating of Lucas, who is the Senate majority leader, Myers and Senator Tydings (D-Md). It was a victory parade for such Republican stalwarts as Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, Senator Eugene Milikin of Colorado and Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania in senatorial contests. No less decisive were the re-election victories wrapped up by Republican governors Thomas E. Dewey of New York and Earl Warren of California, who won third terms in their state houses. The Democrats could salvage some comfort out of the fact that President Truman’s home state elected Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., to the Senate over Republican Forrest Donnell. Donnell was the (Continue on Page 5) Tammany Whipped In NY Mayor Vote BY JOHN RANDOLPH NEW YORK (AP)—Vincent R. Impellitteri, an angry, insurgent Democrat, beat Tammany Hall single-handed yesterday and won election as mayor of New York City. Riding a wave of popular sympathy after he was denied his Bowron Defeats Recall Move LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mayor Fletcher Bowron snoozed happily in his hospital bed today after soundly beating a recall movement against him. With 3343 precincts counted out of the city's 3495, Bowron ran up 406,898 votes in favor or retaining him against 256,769 wanting his recall. Bowron, who has been mayor for 12 years and went into office originally when the voters recalled Frank Shaw, had to leave a hospital bed to vote yesterday. He is suffering from a gall bladder ailment. There were seven candidates who sought to succeed Bowron in case he was defeated. City engineer Lloyd Aldrich was ahead among these candidates, with Robert W. Kenny, former California attorney general running second. Bowron's opponents campaigned for his recall on charges of corruption in the police department. Tammany Whipped In NY Mayor Vote By JOHN RANDOLPH NEW YORK (AP)—Vincent R. Impellitteri, an angry, insurgent Democrat, beat Tammany Hall single-handed yesterday and won election as mayor of New York City. Riding a wave of popular sympathy after he was denied his party's nomination, he defeated Judge Ferdinand Pecor, the Democratic-Liberal nominee, with 1,156,587 votes to 973,060. The Republican and American Labor Party candidates were caught between the two major rivals and swamped. Republican Edward Corsi drew 382,795 votes, while Paul Ross, the left-wing American Labor Party candidate, got only 149,182. The total vote in the bitter race was 2,625,624—a record for a mayoralty campaign. The old record of 2,578,440 was set last year. It was a sweet victory for the 50-year-old Impellitteri, who was city council president until he succeeded as acting mayor when Mayor William O'Dwyer resigned last September 2. "This is the climax of everything I have worked for all my life," he said in his victory statement. Not only did he triumph over the party bosses who brushed him off as a lightweight, but he became the first Italian-born mayor of New York—one of the largest Italian centers in the world. Impellitteri was born in Isnello, Sicily, the son of an Italian shoe-maker, and came to the United States with his parents as a babo in arms.
