Demos Reverse 1960 Trend In Pima Balloting By LESTER N. INSKEEP Reversing a trend established in 1960, the Democrats forged ahead in Pima County early this morning as the tabulation of votes was completed in 117 of 127 precincts. Although a record total of 8,633 absentee ballots 2,000 higher than in 1960 were to be counted, there was no indication there i in He won the presidency in his own right Tuesday night as he swept even Republican strongholds and buried Sen. Barry Gold-water under an avalanche of Democratic votes. The popular vote showed Johnson wtih 34,215,374, Goldwater 21,234,752.

Johnson was winning by nearly 62 per cent. 1 t. SAM GODDARD Pima Votes 'Yes' With 270 electoral votes needed to win, Johnson had 460 to Goldwater's 47 and a thumping 90 percentage margin, with 29 electoral votes still in doubt. In states still in doubt, Johnson led in 5 with 26 electoral votes. Goldwater was ahead in his ntive Arizona, which has five electoral votes.

1 EDITION TEN CENTS FORTY-EIGHT PAGES refused to concede. He refused secretary, Paul F. Wagner, said on 8B, Col. 2) By DON CARSON Associated Press Writer PHOENIX (AP) Arizona election dust began to settle late Tuesday night with Republican Paul Fannin the apparent victor in the U.S. Senate race, and Democrat Sam Goddard running strongly in front of Republican Richard Kleindienst for governor.

But there was no decision in the presidential race between home state Republican Barry Goldwater and President Lyndon Johnson. With 505 of the state's 741 precincts reporting, Goldwater had a vote margin, but the out-counties, some of them strongly Democratic, still were to be heard from. Meanwhile, a slew of apparent winners was ready to be recorded. They included incumbent Con-gessmen John J. Rhodes, a Republican, and Morris K.

Udall, a Democrat. In ihe other congressional contest, Republican State Sen. Sam Steiger was leading Democratic incumbent George Senner, but the Democratic strongholds of Gila, Gra ham and Greenlee counties were expected to put Senner on top. Longtime Tax Commissioner Thad Moore, 70, involved in a bribery case last year, was trounced by Republican Waldo DeWitt. Another Republican, John Hazelett, was running well in front of three opponents for a second tax commission post.

These results gave the Republicans control of the commis sion. The other member, Democrat William Stanford, was not up for re-election. In the corporation commission contests, the apparent winners were Democrat Dick Herbert and Republican incumbent John Clark. Herbert had an edge over Republican Frank Mangin, and Clark led Democrat Milton Husky by about 5,000 votes. Sarah Folsom, the Yavapai County school superintendent, seeking promotion to the similar post for the entire state, was well ahead of Democratic incumbent W.

W. Dick. Another incumbent, State Supreme Court Justice Ed Scruggs, was on the way out at the hands of Ernest McFarland, former governor and senator. Republican Darrel Smith bounced Democrat Patrick O'Reilly for attorney general. Other contests showed Democratic Mine Inspector Roy Her-sey defeating Republican Vern McCutchan.

(AP Wirephoto) Marked Voting Shifts Show Up In Election By ANTHONY LEWIS 1M4 New York Times News Service NEW YORK Rich and poor, Protestant and Catholic and Jew, farmer and city-dweller and suburbanite all showed marked shifts toward Lyndon Johnson in Tuesday's extraordinary election. Only in the Deep South did Sen. Barry Goldwater score any would be any significant change in tne outcome oi any oi tne races. Of major significance here was the election as governor of Tucson attorney Sam Goddard, a Democrat making his second bid for the office.

He ran safely ahead both here and statewide. This is the first time a governor has been elected from Tucson since Dan Garvey won in 1948, and even he was living in Phoenix at the time. He still retains his voting status here. Pima split with the rest of the state on such important offices as President, U.S. senator, superintendent of public instruction, and corporation commission (short term).

An easy winner In his race for re-election was Democratic Rep. Morris K. Udall of the 2nd Congressional District. He de le a Republican William Kimble. One of the Republican losers Gov.

Romney Bucks Tide In Michigan WASHINGTON HV-Gov. George Romney gave the Republicans their first big victory in the 25 governorship races Tuesday by bucking the Democratic sweep of Lyndon B. Johnson. Romney's victory over Democrat Rep. Neil Staebler thrust him to the forefront of speculation over future leadership of the Republican Party.

Democrats retained their grip on the state houses in Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont and West Virginia and were leading in eight other states. In addition to Michigan, Republicans kept the governorship in tiny Rhode Island where Gov. John H. Chaffe won a second (Continued on 8B, Col. 5) former Gov.

John Lodge, broth er of Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge. Republican Robert Taft Jr. built a mounting lead in his bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Stephen M. Young of Ohio', after a bitterly fought campaign.

Young many times accused Taft of trying to be elected on his father's name and coined the phrase "Taft Juniorism" to cover the matter. Young often referred to what he described his perfect record of following the Kennedy-Johnson programs in Longress. A 33-year-old attorney, state Sen. Fred Harris, beat" former University of Oklahoma football coach Bud Wilkinson for the last two years of the unexpired term of the late Sen. Robert S.

Kerr. was Pima County veteran state Sen. H. S. (Hi) Corbett.

With two seats at stake, he ran third in a race with two Demo crats, incumbent Sol Ahee, in surance man, and Edward I. Kennedy, lawyer. One of the puzzling things about the statewide race was the election of two such political opposites as Goddard (a liberal) as governor and Mrs. Sarah Folsom (R), a rightist, as super intendent of public instruction. Democratic incumbent W.

W. (Skipper) Dick carried Pima County but lost statewide. Pima gave a slight lead to President Johnson over Barry Goldwater, although Goldwater was the statewide winner and national loser. Also running slightly ahead here but behind statewide was Roy Elson, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate.

He lost the race to Gov. Paul Fannin, who will replace Goldwater in the senate. This county went along with the rest of the state in the elec tion of Republicans L. Waldo DeWitt and John M. Hazelett to the short and long terms on the State Tax Commission.

De-Witt ousted the veteran Thad M. Moore, by a whopping mar gin. Hazlett fills a vacancy to which he previously was ap pointed. Pima joined the rest of the state in the apparent victory of former Tucson attorney Dick Herbert to the long term on the Corporation Commission. A Democrat, he was running (Continued on 8B, Col.

Reporting on Proposition 102 were 110 precincts. The "Yes" vote for the apportionment of state school school funds for common and high school education was approved in the county by a vote of 53,972 "Yes" and 14,128 "No." The Proposition 103 vote included 115 precincts. Pima voters also favored a four-year term for many county officials on Proposition 104.

An affirmative vote of 49,407 to 18,033 opposed came from 110 precincts. Officials elected in this election automatically get four-year terms, and the passage of the measure also allows for the increase of the number of county supervisors. The bitterest contest of them all, Proposition 200, calling for the repeal of the state's 1912 law requiring a three-man crew on all freight locomotives, was almost a draw in Pima County. The vote, 36,898 for repeal and 36,404 for continuance, was only 494 apart with 110 precincts reporting. The "Yes" vote was leading statewide.

The tremendous accumulation of absentee ballots could spell the difference in a tight count on the railway issue. impulsively for personal reasons while eligible to vote only in Virginia, where he had lived when he was press secretary. Salinger attempted to link Murphy to Goldwater's views, which Salinger labeled extremist. In the first Senate overturn, Democrat Joseph D. Tydings.

Dodd, won an easy victory over there would be no statement until 10 a.m. (MST) Wednesday. "He wants to analyze the vote," Wagner said. Johnson wanted a landslide vote and it was just that for him and his vice presidential running mate, Hubert H. Humphrey.

Even Maine and Vermont broke with the past and joined the Democratic sweep. Only the deep South broke tradition over civil rights and went to Goldwater. It was New York state, with its biggest-in-the-nation stack of 43 electoral votes, that clinched the election for the man who was born on a Texas tenant farm and who once thought a southerner never in his lifetime would be voted into the White House. New York also threw out Republican Kenneth B. Keating and sent Robert F.

Kennedy, brother of the late President, to the Senate to replace him. At the moment of national decision, the Democrats once again had clinched control of the Senate and were rolling along toward keeping control of the House. In his own race, Johnson ran like a champion out front all the way. He had parlayed promises of continued peace and prosperity and millions of votes into a massive victory. Goldwater's hopes of pulling the biggest political upset of the century had vanished in a huge outpouring of votes which saw ticket splitting on a big scale.

The Arizona senator just never was able to dispel fears, founded on his own words, that he would keep a ready finger near The propositions (explained County totals) were: No. 100" 101 "Yes" 140,196, "No" No. 102 "Yes" 148,980, "No" No. 103 "Yes" 168,179, "No" No. 104 "Yes" 143,603, "No" No.

200 "Yes" 132,047, "No" The statewide vote included the Pima County vote. Slightly more than half of the state's precincts were in, but the absentee vote is not included. At press time this morning Pima County was following the affirmative statewide trend on the propositions, with the exception of a near tie vote on No. 200, the "full crew" railroad law. Proposition 100, which would provide a license tax on aircraft instead of a property tax, enjoyed a commanding lead of 49,893 "Yes" to 13,546 "No." These totals included 115 precincts out of the county's 127.

On Proposition 101, which would change the composition of the State Board of Education and include three lay members, the "Yes" vote led 34,485 to 29,247 against with 108 precincts reporting. Opponents to the measure predicted the appointment of lay members will open the board to politics.

They were ineligible to cast ballots in New York because they have lived in the state only since the first of October. Sen.

Pierre Salinger, onetime White House press secretary, lost to Republican George Murphy, although President Johnson won California's 40 electoral votes. Murphy took the early lead and built up a constantly increasing margin in Los Angeles County, a Democratic area but also the section where he was best known. The cigar-smoking Salinger had been appointed to the Senate seat, replacing the late Sen. Clair Engle. Murphy called Salinger a carpetbagger who entered the race signincant gams tor tne Republican ticket over four years ago.

Riding the crest of the racial issue there, he swung Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina to the Republicans. The white backlash, on which Goldwater had counted so strongly, failed to materialize in most parts of the north. Only among voters of Polish and other East European origin were there signs of this resent ment toward Negroes. The Negro vote went for the Democrats as expected but by margins even greater than expected. Some heavily Negro precincts showed better than 99 per cent of the vote for Presi dent Johnson.

The suburbs were perhaps the most remarkable part of the story. All over the East and Midwest Johnson carried these traditionally Republican areas.

Kennedy won the U.S. Senate seat from New York in Tuesday's election, defeating incumbent Republican Kenneth B.

Keating. The 38-year-old Kennedy, who gave up his post as U.S. attorney general and moved to New York to run against Keating, thus became the third sen of patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy to be elected to the U.S. Senate.

Kennedy's margin did not approach that of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who overwhelmed Sen. Barry Goldwater in New York. But while winning as expected In Democratic New York City, Kennedy also ran well ahead of Keating in many normally Republican upstate counties. for the aged, more economic aid to depressed areas and legislation to help solve city problems.

The Republicans scored spectacular breakthroughs in the South, winning five of Alabama's eight seats, one of Mississippi's five and at least one of Georga' 10. Those gains were more ttun offset, however, by the loss of one and perhaps both of their Texas seats by heavy Democratic gains In other parts of the country. The House division in the expiring 88th Congress is 257 Democrats and 178 Republicans. This credits five vacancies to the parties last holding the seats. Three were occupied by Democrats and two by Republicans.

WASHINGTON IB President Johnson's sweeping presidential victory carried with it Tuesday the prospect of a heavily Democratic Congress probably with an increased administration margin in the House. As returns mounted, Democrats had elected 22 senators. The Democrats had 40 hold overs out of a total of 100 seats. In the House, Democrats had won 218 seats, including 5 formerly held by Republicans. Republicans had won 24 seats.

A pickup even of relatively few House votes could trigger a drive next year for some postponed Johnson programs, such as health care.
