AFL-CIO Requests End

WASHINGTON Vll—The AFL-CIO, flush with election victories, demanded an end to

By Met Opera
NEW YORK (T)—The Metro

its $lB,OOO season contract with
Maria Callas, the temperamental
terror of the opera world. The
Met said it was glad to get rid
of her.
General Manager Rudolf Bing
said the soprano told him she is
going to give up singing. He sug
gested that what he called her
whims are aimed at that end.
Bing accused Miss Callas of a
lisplay of her famed tempera

Dakota governorship and .under-,
took his first term for the Senate
in 1940, he wore out aides and,
automobiles as he ranged far and
wide into every corner of the
state, flailing at his enemies.
Unpredictable in those early
days when he often had the state
in an uproar, the tall and lanky
legislator is still a puzzle to his
Senate colleagues.
Few are so bold as to count
in advance how he will vote.

13 Repubican States
Swept by Democrats
WASHINGTON (tP) The Democratic election tide that
flooded Congress also swept Democrats into control of 13
state lawmaking bodies formerly Republican-dominated.
The sea of ballots, however, washed ashore problems as
well as prizes for the new Democratic state senators and
labor-
representatives.
The trouble most widely report
ed was aiL old familiar headache:
money—how to raise state reven
ues with least pain to state voters,
At least six new legislatures
have big state deficits to con
tend with. Others face demands
for costly programs. Nearly all
have some sort of budget wor
ries.
Among other issues popping up
in one or more statehouses were
reapportionment of legislatures—
especially in places where Demo
crats complained of past gerry
manders at their expense; at
tempts to enact or repeal right
to-work laws; state prohibition
repeal. In the South, some of the
legislators were looking for ways
to bolster the legal defenses of
segregation.
A survey by the AsSociated
Press in 34 states which held
elections for legislatures con
currently with those for Con
gress showed that in three
slates —Ohio, C ali fornia and
Connecticut—Democrats seized
control of both h o u ses of the
legislature from the GOP.
In 10—Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Is
land, South Dakota, Utah, Wis
consin and Wyoming—Democrats
took over one house formerly Re
publican-held; in one, Michigan,
they achieved a tie in a formerly
Republican house. There were no
iihifts of control that favored the
Republicans.
Everywhere outside the already
100 per cent Democratic state
houses in the South, the Demo
crats scored gains, whether or not
these gave them numerical con
trot.

GOP Advisor
Role Declined
By Rockefeller
NEW YORK (A') Republican
Gov.-elect Nelson A. Rockefeller
yesterday declined the role of
spokesman or adviser for the
GOP on a national scale.
He had no recommendations
for rejuvenating the party nation
ally in the wake of Tuesday's big
Democratic victory a vote tide
that Rockefeller managed to re
, verse in New York by defeating
Democratic Gov. Averell Harri
man.
"I am going to do just what
I said, which is to try to do a
job here in New York State,"
Rockefeller told a reporter who
had solicited such recommenda
tions.
Rockefeller also was asked:
"What do you think of the ad
ministration's handling of Middle
East affairs in general, as you are
now a leading spokesman on Re
publican policy?"
Replied the governor-elect: "I
have not accepted that role. I am
governor-elect of New York State
and I am concentrating on organ
ization of the government and I
am going to do everything in my
power to bring to reality the ob
jectives which we candidates out
lined in the campaign."
