New Leader For
Rebuilding G.O.P.
WASHINGTON, Nov. g,(up)
Influential Republicans are urg-
ing Harold E. Stassen to rebuild
the GOP along more liberal lines
with an eye on the 1952 Presi-
dential race, it was learned to-
day.
Stassen, who was defeated for
the party's nomination in June
by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, has
been swamped by letters, tele-
grams and telephone calls at the
University of Pennsylvania
where he is now President.
Many of the communications
are from Republican bigwigs
willing to pledge their support
if he will take on the job of re-
construction.

ell, Dewey's manager, "hand-
cuffed the progressive element"
of the Republican party and vir-
tually "seized the campaign
reins" in Florida "without
authority."
"Immediately following the
convention. Mr. Brownell as-
sumed victory was inevitable
and began to punish delegates
who had not been for Dewey,"
Akerman charged.

The "one" they're looking for
hasn't yet been found.

Democrats Gel Eight
Governor Chairs In
Tuesday Elections
By United Press
Tuesday'^ election tide cur-
ried Democrats into eight lie-
publican governor's offices.
The OOP took one governor-
ship from the Democrats, and ap-
peared likely to shake loose
another by the time the filial re-
turns are in.
Though this would appear to
give the Democrats a net gain
of six governors, the increase
actually was cut to five. This
was because Wyoming's Demo-
crtatic Gov. Lester C\ Hunt,
elected to the U. S. Senate, left
his desk to a Republican Secre-
tary of State.
When the new governors take
office—on varying dates—the na-
tional balance apparently will
he 2!l Democrats to l!) Repub-
licans. Before the election it
was 21-21.
The Democrats won Republi-
can leases on governor's man-
sions in Michigan, Montana,
C o n n e c t i c u t, Massachu-
setts, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Delaware.
In Utah, Republican .1. Brack-
en Lee nosed out Democratic
Gov. Herbert B. Maw.
And in Washington Demo-
cratic Gov. Mon C. Wallgren
trailed Republican Arthur H.
Langlie. Wallgren is a personal
friend of President Truman, but
that didn't appear to help him.
Republicans retained their
gubernatorial posts in the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Oregon. Kansas,
Maine, New Hampshire, Ne-
braska, Vermont, Wisconsin
and Minnesota.
The Democrats held fast in
Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri,
North Carolina, Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, and
New Mexico.

DALLAS, Tex., (UP)— Ralph
B. Smith, a Toledo, O., restau-
rant owner, warned 100 mem-
bers of the Texas Restaurant As-
sociation that "the time has
come to pinch pennies."

gin-eating incidental expenses."

Boar hunting is a rugged, lone-
some sport in North Carolina's
Blue Ridges. Veteran Gus West
maintains a lonely vigil far tip
on the sides of lordly Mt. Mitch-
ell, ear tuned to dogs below,
hoping they'll drive the chase
near his stand. In mountain
hunting, participants are as-
signed stands. Drivers in the
valley loose dogs and drive the
bears uphill.

dispatch said the two bombs ex-
ploded early and used only 25
to 30 per cent of their potential
explosive power. Stalin ordered
a new technical research group
to build a new bomb by this
autumn, the article said.
Figaro attributed the informa-
tion to a Captain Silov, who it
said formerly was attached to
the Russian general staff. He
is now in South America work-
ing as a chemist, the dispatch
said.
I- igaro said the test took place
on the Mangyshlak peninsula
in the Caspian sea. The atomic
material, weighing 150 grams
in each bomb, was said to have
come from Soviet "Oak Ridge"
plants at Altai in the Ural for-
ests and Slondianka. near Lake
Baikal, in Siberia.
Figaro is a conservative news-
paper of about 300,000 circula-
tion.
