The Washington| Merry - Go - Round; By DREW PEARSON (Copyright, 1948, by '{he Bell Syndicate, ASHINGTON— Herbert Bay- ard Swope, editor of the old New York World, has some backhanded advice for Dixie Democrats who consider bolting Truman in the Electoral College. Swope, chosen for the Electoral College from New York in 1936, tells how the electors met in a lavishly draped room, reminiscent of early Grecian meeting places. Each elector had an embossed and engraved ballot to be deposited if a Grecian urn. An air of great solemnity pervaded the gathering. In the middle of this impressive ceremony, Swope suddenly turned to Democratic Governor Herbert Lehman. “I think I'll use this opportunity to go down in history,” he re- marked. “I'll cast my vote for Herbert Hoover. It has never hap- pened before. If I do it here, my place will be secure in the his- tory books.” The humorless Lehman nearly fainted. Beckoning to Ed Flynn, then Secretary of State of New York and head of the New York eiectors, he warned: “Ed, Swope here is about to do something terrible. You have got to prevent it at all costs. He is going to cast his vote for Hoover.” “Who is to say that I can't?” re- plied Swope, basking gayly in the pleasure of the prospect of making history. ing? Am I not a duly elected! elector? It is my right as a duly| elected elector to vote as I see fit.” (Continued oo Page .Four) “What law will I be defy-| ® 1116,000 CIO production workers to-| day erased a national strike threata against the Ford Motor Company. i Chmaxmg more than 21 hours nearly continuous negotiation,| ‘the CIO United Auto Workers also | ‘wm increases in premium pay, va-| | cation improvements, and a group yinsurance plan revision.

The firm made no estimate. Details of the revised contract, which expires July 15, 1949, were revealed jointly by the union and the company. Ford's agreement with the UAW- {CIO was the last among the auto industry’s “big three.” It set a peace- iful stage for the country's major producers to maintain high produc-| tion at least until the summer of 1949. { ->os e o v o v v 0 0 0 WEATGIER REPORT (U.
