PAGE TWO
Democrats Seek Sweep
At Pennsylvania Polls
PHILADELPHIA (fie)—Pennsylvania voters, in one of the most important elections in
years, decide today whether to keep a Democratic governor in the state house.
Never ►n history have the Democrats won the governorship two terms in succession.'
Of almost equal concern is whether for the first time since the Civil War Pennsyl
vania will have two Democrats in the United States Senate. One replaced a Republican
two year ago.
If politwai predictions hold:
true, another is favored to win
today, taking the scat retiring Re-1
publican Edward Martin is va
cating after 12 years.
About four million of the
state's 5,397,407 registered vot
ers will go to 8,914 polling
places to elect, besides a new
governor and a senator, a lieu
tenant-governor, secretary of
internal affairs and a Slate Su
preme Court justice.
T h irty U.S. congressmen, 25
state senators and 210 mcmners
of the State House of Represen
tative, ako will be chosen.
Republicans now control both
branches of the State Legislature.
A»0 they hold a 17-13 edge in
Congre,sional delegation.
Polls open at 7 a.m.. Standard
time, close 13 hours later.
Though the Senate seat is No. 1
on the ballot, the chief election'
battle to Pennsylvanians involves
the governorship and its control;
of a multitude of state jobs. The
governor's term is four years. '
For the first time since the
1860 s the GOP is cast in the role
of underdog Pennsylvania long
has been considered a citadel of
Republicanism. Even when the
Democrats elected a governor in
1934, and again in 1954, the GOP
held the favored position.
David L. Lawrence, serving
an unprecedented fourth term
as Pittsburgh's mayor, is the
Democratic candidate for gov
ernor.
He Is apposed by a Republican
political novice, Arthur T. Mc-'
Gonigle, Reading manufacturer.
Demo cratic Governor George
Lead e r, 40-year-old York.
County chicken farmer, is op
posed by Rep. Hugh Scott, who
has r e p r e dented Philadelphia's
6th Congressional District for 16
years.

State's Senate Seat

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Contests to watch for pos

NEW YORK Frank S. Hogan

In another illustration of
rough language, Vice Presi
dent Richard M, Nixon said
the Democrats were spread
ing word that America is a
weak nation, and he called
this "rotgut thinking."
In still another, Truman accused,
Nixon of peddling "verbal gar-:
bage."
And so it went, before the case
was rested with the voters.
Smathers, chairman of the Sen
ate Democratic Campaign Com
mittee, predicted that the next
Senate will contain 14 new Demo
crats. The division in the last was
0-47 in favor of the Democrats;

The best available composite
opinion of political writers and

following anticipated result, in
an Associated Press survey.
Democrats are favored to take
8 to 12 Republican seats in the
Senate, they are expected to in

Red China Resumes
Offshore Bombing
TAIPEI (?P)—Communist big guns suddenly pounded
Quemoy and the Tan islets yesterday with one of the heaviest
bombardments of the Formosa Strait war.
Red artillery on three sides thundered into action after
weeks of unofficial cease-fire, sporadic firing and lulls. The
Nationalist Defense Ministry said
its count showed 36,432 shells
poured on the Nationalist out
posts in six hours.
The bombardment, most in
tense in seven weeks, was in
response to Nationalist China's
first defiance of a Peiping
warning against resupplying
the islands on odd-numbered
days.
American military officials say
Quemoy is now virtually impreg
nable to successful sea invasion,
but that the Reds—if they were
willing to pay a heavy price—
might be able to seize one or
both of the smaller islets, Tatan
and Ehrtan.
It was the heaviest pounding
since the offshore war started
Aug. 23 for the Tans, where Na
tionalist soldiers live complete
ly underground.
Although there was speculation
the Communists might be soften
ing up the rocky islets for at
tempted landings, this was dis
counted by reports that some Na
tionalist craft involved in yes
terday's supply operation were
maneuvering in waters near the
Tans, drawing Communist fire.

The race for governor in New

TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 4, 1958
Air Force Set
For Moon Shot
WASHINGTON (iP)—The Air
Force is about ready to fire an
other rocket at the moon.
Its chances of reaching the
moon's vicinity were described
as "something less than I in 25."
Dr. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy
chief of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NA
SA), announced the shoot will be
made within a week or so.
The lunar probe will be a suc
cess if the instrumented nose of
the rocket completes its 240,000-
mile journey into space and goes
into orbit around the moon. But
the space scientists would ge grat
ified if the rocket approached
within 25,000 to 40,000 miles of
the moon.
In putting the chances of reach
ing the vicinity of the target at
I-25, Dryden cautioned against
any great optimism about the
shoot, the third in an Air Force
series.
