The moon is new. The morning stars are Mercury and Venus. The evening stars are Jupiter and Saturn. On this day in history: In 1793, the famed art museum In Paris, the Louvre, was opened to the public for the first time. In 1889, Montana was admitted Into the Union as the 41st state.

In 1942, some 400,000 Allied troops invaded North Africa. In 1959, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered steelworkers back to work under the Taft-Hartley law.

In York they beat the brother of former Democratic Gov.

George M. Leader. State GOP Chairman George I. Bloom, who has found little to crow about in recent lean years, hailed the election results as "especially significant" and a "sure sign to us of a Republican victory in He added that the people, Samuel B.

The election took place during the weekly dinner meeting at Steim Hotel.

Mrs.

Grafton also talked about Hershey School, Hershey, which she visited during her convention trip. "even in Philadelphia, have turned thumbs down on 'bossism' and Democratic waste and corruption." Anne Wins Allegheny An analysis of the statewide voting showed how Philadelphia was the key to the final results. Montgomery and Delaware counties, two of the GOP counties surrounding Philadelphia, gave O'Brien pluralities of 38,955 and 51,842, respectively--a total of 90,797 and more than enough to offset the Alpern plurality of 80,484 In the state's largest city. In addition, O'Brien picked up good pluralities in such of the larger counties as Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, Erie, Dauphin, York, Schuylkill and Cumberland. Allegheny County, home county of both O'Brien and Alpem, gave Alpern a plurality of about 55,000 as the county seat, Pittsburgh, returned Mayor Joseph M.

Barr to office and gave the Democrats their usual full-slate victory. GOP's Best Since '5 The last time the Republicans were able to elect a candidate in a statewide race was in 1958 when Hugh Scott, then a con gressman, defeated then Gov. Leader for a U. S. Senate seat In that election four other statewide races went to the Democrats.

Things got worse for the) GOP after that as they lost, two statewide races in 1959 hi which they were favored and then in 1960 lost the state to Kennedy and saw their last two state elected auditor general. and state treasurer, dumped out of office. So today they could be pardoned if they viewed yesterday's results as a portent of better 'times ahead. Statewide, the only other matters of interest on the ballot were the five proposed constitutional amendments, the most important of which would permit the governor of Pennsylvania to serve two consecutive terms. This change could not affect Gov.

Lawrence, however. The governorship amendment appeared in doubt. Returns from 5,935 precincts showed: Yes 416,743 No 410,593. Three of the- other amendments passed easily but the fifth to allow county treasurers to serve consecutive terms--was defeated The vote on that one was: Yes 378,579 No 427,641. The amendments adopted were To permit the state to make cash refunds for overpayment taxes or to 238,737 To change from May to Janu ary the starting date of the term of the state secretary of internal to 216,194.
