CONDITIONS There is some broken cloudiness over northeastern portions of the country, and scattered light showers have occurred from western Tennessee northeastward over the Ohio Valley, lower lake region and New England in the last 24 hours, under the influence of a rather weak disturbance which has moved eastward across the lake region since yesterday morning.

In central and southern portions of the country mostly clear weather prevails, with pressure continuing high from the Da-kotas southeastward to the Gulf states. Warm air flowing from the southwest has raised temperatures along the Atlantic slope, but temperatures are falling with the advent of a moderately cold air body now overspreading most of the interior districts from the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachian ridge. Freezing morning temperatures were reported southward as far as central Illinois. A low pressure area in the far northwest is accompanied by light precipitation and rising temperature. STANDISH POINT In Plymouth hartor there is fog.

The tide is low. the marsh-grass shows Tall in the moonlight, field and bog Are dim, a scarf of white mist Sows Between us and the silver sea Where a bell tolls monotonously. Here is the path Miles Standish walked To his own door and friends who came Stopped for a moment while they talked. Or from the water spoke his name And here, perhaps. Priscilla stood With John beside her in the wood.

Tonight the white-faced moon has spread A pathway, and a henna Mars Shines over land that once the dead Called theirs a galaxy of stars Are snuffed. where ocean meets the land Where shadows pause at either hand. The smoke from pipe and cigarette Mingles with salt-wind now a bird Calls from the shore will we forget This present hour: a song we heard Will it be dust: the bird and smoke. The moon and mist, the words we spoke. The scrub-oak at our elbow stirs A If a hand is lightly pressed Against its bole: the harbor blurs And we are one with them who rest From earthly things, and one with sea.

And one with stars for company, New York. Marguerite J. Adams. returned to office in Ward 7 by a large plurality. James C.

Connors was reelected to the School committee in Ward 1, Mrs. Ellen R. Hayes in Ward 3, Miss Ivlay E. Songster in Ward 4 and Chester J. Powers in Ward 6.

The interesting contest in Ward 2 resulted in a victory for James J. Gur-ney over James J. Earls. A yes vote resulted in the four referenda questions. It was voted to place the offices of City Auditor, Commissioner of Soldiers'- Relief and Street Commissioner under Civil Service protection and to retain the respective incumbents, Alexander A.

Lucey, Robert M. Magee and James C. Gillis, providing they pass a qualifying examination. The fourth question, pertaining to compulsory referendum on all bond issues boated by the city, providing 12 percent of the voters petition such, passed by a 3 to 1 majority. The first precinct was reported at 11:12 last night but it was not until 3:50 this morning that the final returns were made.

A total of 22,981 voters went to the polls, approximately 75 percent of the total of 30,909 registered.

This Is No Fish Story PETERSBURG, Alaska (UP) The largest salmon ever caught, in southeastern Alaska weighed 120 pounds. The fish, taken in the 1939 season, was 53 Vi inches long and 36 inches around. It was caught in a net. The previous record salmon, caught in 1910, weighed 116 pounds. y.

1 'y', NEW YORK, Nov. 8 (UP) A ult demanding $1000 from the Rev. Harry Rimmer for rinding "scientific errors" in the Bible was on file in Municipal Court today. William Floyd, 34. editor of the Arbitrator, contended that Dr.

Rimmer had offered $1000 to anyone who could find a "scientific error" in the Bible, but refused to pay off when Floyd found several. Among other, Floyd disputed the story in the book ot Exodus and in Numbers, which says: "And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by Woman Mayor Continued jrom the First rage awake and able," Mrs. Burke said today. "As for my administration, it will be a conservative one. Nazis, Communists or any other radicals can stay away from City Hall.

America and Americanism is good enough for me." In one respect at least Mrs. Burke is already like Roosevelt. She and the First Lady both have an immense abundance of physical and mental energy. Mrs. Roosevelt may travel farther and faster, but Mrs.

Burke certainly travels as often propelling herself around the countryside on her bicycle or taking 10 and 12-mile hikes with her husband. "Be sure and say my bicycle was made in Westfield," she admonished today. "I think the best bicycles in the world have been made here. And one of the first things I am going to do is to try and bring new industry to this city. We have fine railroa'd service, water power, nVnicipal light and gas plants and vacant factories.

I think we can get new business to come here." Rise Has Been Gradual Oddly enough, Mrs. Burke was not a bicyclist in her youth. She learned that and swimming, another hobby, from her husband who is a clerk in the Westfield Postoffice. "Now," she said, "we often go for 25 and 30 mile trips into the country on good days." Mrs. Burke's political rise has been neither meteoric nor accidental.

It has been a slow, gradual process, increasing as she increased her acquaintances and as the citizens got to like her ideas. As soon as she lost her teaching position, she 'ran for the School committee and was elected. While in that office sr. treated something of a fuss by enrolling in the high school course for typewriting and shorthand. There was some criticism of adults, taking high school courses and she withdrew from the class.

While still a member of the School committee in 1935 she entered the primary contest. for Mayor and finished second out of three candidates. Subsequently she had to withdraw from the contest, when the West-field City Solicitor ruled that the city's by-laws forbid any member of the School committee except the Mayor from running for any other paid public office during the term for which he was elected. Elected on Third Attempt Undaunted, she ran again for Mayor in 1937, this time after her term on the School committee had expired. She was defeated by a substantial majority by Mayor Cowing.

Yesterday was her third effort and the third time did not fail. She won by 127 votes. Mayor Cowing has asked for a recount and the margin of victory or defeat is very small. However, Westfield is not a large city, and the chances are that, after the recount is over, Mrs. Burke will still be the first woman Mayor in Massachusetts.

Ex-Supt. McDevitt Happy Over Son One of the happiest men in the city tod is Deputy Supt. James McDevitt, retired police official. For several weeks he has been contacting old friends in the interest of his son, Daniel J. McDevitt, who was elected to the School Committee.

Deputy McDevitt is considered as one of the ablest and fairest police officials who ever held office. When an attempt was made to force several officials to retire a few years ago, the deputy flatly refused and when the smoke blew away he retired voluntarily. He said "a good soldier never quits under fire." Kind of Turtle-Shaped Two motor boats, both of the same model. 36x18 feet, were launched Thursday. They were built by Forrest Maker, for Bradford Bray and F.

R. Whitmore. Vinal Haven Notes in Rockland Courier-Gazette. Carr Reelected by 1555 Votes inMedford MEDFORD, Nov. 8 Despite a Republican trend in the Board' of Aldermen and School committee contests, Mayor John C.

Carr, Democrat, was returned to office for a second term in yesterday's municipal election. His plurality over Representative Robert P. Campbell was 1555 votes. Ex-Alderman John F. Dono-ghue was far behind the major party candidates.

Mayor Carr polled 11,535 votes to 9980 for Campbell and 1344 for Donoghue. The Mayor carried only 10 of the 24 precincts but was high man in four of the seven wards. He built up his plurality in Ward 1, his home ward, and Wards 5 and 7. He made an exceptionally strong showing in Ward 2, Campbell's home ward, where he trailed by only one vote, and carried Republican Ward 4 by a 101 majority. Representative Campbell received more fhan 2000 votes in both wards 3 and 6, the Republican strongholds, and Mayor Carr polled 2500 votes in ward 5.

Following his victory Mayor Carr said, "I cannot help but feel that the future of Democracy is secure so long as tne majority or our citizens continue to, manifest so decisively their insistence on clean campaigning for public office. I regard this vote as more than a victory at the polls. It represents a vote of confidence and an indorsement of my ef forts to give the city of Medford a clean, honest and businesslike administration. Four Republicans were swept into office in the campaign for Alderman at large, leaving behind their four Democratic and one Independent opponents, including two members of the present board, James P. Higgins and Cornelius B.

Harrington. Alderman James W. Prior, appar ently polling a large percentage of the Democratic vote, topped the ticket with a 10.140 total. He was followed in order by Alderman James J. MacDonald, Alderman Howard F.

Alden and Carroll E. Scott. The latter was high man at the primary and, although fourth man yesterday, he gained the victory by a comfortable margin. Alderman Harrington, after more than 12 years' service in the board, lost out by 748 votes. Alderman Michael F.

Skerry was reelected in Ward 1 by a substantial plurality. Alderman William F. Shine was high man in Ward 2, but his plurality was only six votes and his opponent. Earl G. Macklin, announced today that he would peti tion for a recount.

Alderman Wu- lard Nelson Price won by over 900 votes in Ward 3 and in Ward 4 Alderman Edward Holland was an easy victory by more than 600 votes. A close contest resulted in Ward 5. where two members of the pres ent board. George A. Cataldo and Carl A.

Erickson, sought the single post under the new setup which reduces the membership from 21 to 11. Cataldo was the victor by more that 200 votes. By virtue of his primary victory. Alderman Bradley P. Howes was unopposed for the election, and Al derman Sylvester T.

O'Sullivan was Lewis Returned for Third Term in Everett Vote EVERETT, Nov. 8 Accomplishing a solid victory in a city election, which brought out a record vote. Mayor Frank E. Lewis was returned to office for a third term yesterdav, defeating Representative Albert E. Morris by 1647 votes.

With 84 percent of the city's registered voters casting ballots. Mayor Lewis received 9974 votes and Representative Morris secured 8327. success at the polls, after a strenuous campaign, places the Mayor in office for a third two-year term. The city was roused from slumber last night by Lewis supporters, who set off huge aerial bombs in 'celebration. Hundreds of calls were received at the Fire and Police Stations concerning the explosions.

Mayor Lewis heard the bombs at his home on Hampshire st. and asked police to stop the fireworks. Mayor's Statement The Mayor was pleased at the outcome and said: "I am grateful to the people of Everett for their vote of confidence. I have always felt and now I know that the adage, 'Give the people an honest administration and they will be honest with is certainly a true one." The election decided one of the most bitterly-fought election battles in recent years. As a result of the Aldermanic contests, only one Alderman, Edward M.

Hogan, returned from Ihe wars. Of the other six members of this year's Board of Aldermen, three were defeated at the primary and three more succumbed yesterday at the election. Those wipe'd out in the primary contests were Aldermen Savage and Mackey, who sought reelection, and Alderman Brickley, who was an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor. Yesterday Alderman Ambrose T. English lost his seat to Ex-Alderman Alfred W.

Marshall. Another incumbent. Alderman J. Arthur Burke, was trounced by Ralph E. Hughes.

The third casualty in the board was Alderman Lawrence B. Leggett, who was defeated by Councilman John F. Riley. The lone Alderman to return as a member of the 1940 board. Alderman Hogan, nosed out John J.

Joy. receiving 8265 votes to Joy's 8063. Big Vote for Whittier The largest vote of any candidate, including the Mayoralty candidates, was obtained by Councilman Sumner G. Whittier with his election as Alderman-at-Large. He received 11,416 votes, while his opponent, Joseph Fiorentino.

received 5407. Alderman-Elect Whittier topped the vote of Mayor Lewis. Ex-Alderman Marshall, who won the Ward 1 election, is an Everett-sq. restaurant proprietor. He defeated Alderman English by 174 votes, and a recount in that ward is indicated.

In Ward 3 the new Alderman, John F. Riley, has served as president of the Common Council. He topped Alderman Leggett by 393 votes. Alderman-elect John F. Sullivan, in Ward 4.

won out over Councilman Chester DeVivo by 1255. Mr. Sullivan is an Everett-sq. business man. It was his first venture in politics.

Leo T. Pierce, the new Alderman in Ward 5, had 628 votes more than Clifton C. Loveless. Mr. Pierce is an automobile dealer.

He is a brother of a former Alderman and Representative, George F. Pierce, who is now retired from politics. School Board Race There were three places open on the School committee, and the successful aspirants were Miss Margaret F. Walsh, School committeeman Raymond J. Hall and Councilman William T.

Harrington Jr. Miss Walsh defeated two men, ex-School committeeman George H. Beck and Laurence Bleiler, to be elected as the School committee member-at-large. She is an examiner of claims for the state. School committeeman Raymond J.

Hall was reelected as committeeman from Wrd 1, defeating Harold S. Raybould, 8114 to 7285. The contest for this post was a lively one. A veteran member of the School Board, Daniel J. Jameson, was defeated for reelection in Ward 3 by Councilman William T.

Harrington Jr. The new member is the son of former Fire Commissioner Harrington. The returns were earlier than usual in reaching City Hall. The final precinct return came in at 2:45 this morning. City Clerk John M.

Mr. Fitzgerald was upset in his quest for an eighth election to the Council. A big overturn was provided by the voters of Lynn, who replaced Maj'or J. Fred Manning, after 10 5ears in office, with the 33-year-old State Senator Albert Cole. This result bad not been entirely unexpected since Mr.

Cole had obtained a very much larger vote in the primary election than had Mayor Manning. Ashe Victor Over Braden in Lowell In Lowell, State Representative George T. Ashe, Democrat, defeated former Mayor Thomas H. Braden. Mr.

Ashe is 34. The present incumbent, Mayor Dewey Archambault, did not seek reelection. Somerville and Everett turned down the Democratic leaders in the state Senate and House respectively. In Somerville Mayor John M. Lynch defeated State Senator Eugene II.

Giroux and in Everett Mayor Frank E. Lewis won his third term against State Representative Albert E. Morris. An unusual feature of the election was the choice of a woman, Mrs. Alice D.

Burke, for Mayor of Westfield. Mrs. Burke thus becomes the first woman Mayor of any municipality in Massachusetts. Gov. Declines Comment on Public Utility Job Gov.

Saltonstall told newspapermen today he had given "no consideration" to the fact that the term of Commissioner Abraham C. Webber of the Public Utilities Commission expires Dec. 1. The Governor declined to comment on reports that he would appoint Henry G. Wells, former member of the commission and former president of the State Senate, to succeed Webber.

Another report has it that Senator Angier L. Goodwin of Melrose, Republican leader in the upper branch, is a candidate for the place. The salary is $7000.

Atty. Hugh A. Crcgg or Aily. Gen. Paul A.

Dever to take appropriate action," the School Board said today after a meeting at which conditions in the High School were under discussion. The board announced that private detectives had been engaged to Icok into the circumstances surrounding the death, two weeks ago. of Florence Bigelow Phillips of Mason it, a 16-year-old High School student. She was found in the gas-filled bathroom of her home by her mother, Mrs. Virginia Phillips.

Subsequently, certain letters said to have been written by the girl were found. The town has been full of rumors and stories concerning the High. School. The School Board has held a number of special meetings in connection with the situation, which has been an issue since school opened in September. Earlier today the committee issued the following statement: "The committee has made arrangements for a trained investigator to ascertain any facts which may support charges against a teacher in the schools.

No immediate or drastic action can be taken on the complaint against a schoolteacher which lacks any substantial evidence to support it. "The committee welcomes any evidence which any citizen cares to submit to the superintendent of schools who has been authorized to receive it on behalf of the committee. If sufficient evidence is obtained, the committee will take suitable action as speedily as the law permits." This statement was the result of a meeting last night at which five members were named to a committee to investigate a condition brought to the attention of the board by the mother of the Phillips girl. Mrs. Virginia Phillips, who sought charges against a woman teacher as stenographic records and notes purported written by the dead girl were presented as evidence in the investigation during the past several days.

I ir sv Order to Rehire 5000 Strikers Upheld by Court PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8 (AP) In a unanimous decision, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals upheld today a National Labor Relations Board order placing on Republic Steel Corporation the blame for the bloody "little steel" strikes of 1937 and directing the corporation to rehire 5000 Ohio workers who wprp invnlvprf The 16-page decision, written by Judge Albert B.

Maris, held: 1. That 40 of those ordered reinstated in the board's original order need not be reemployed because they participated in what the court considered extreme violence. This was the one exception to the board's ruling. 2. That the little steel strike at five Ohio plants was not a sit-down, but resulted from moves of the corporation to thwart efforts of the Steel Workers organizing committee to organize its employees.

Corporation attorneys already have indicated they would appeal to the United States Supreme Court from a ruling which would require payment of back wages estimated by company counsel to total to strikers not reemployed five days after application for reinstatement. That payment was directed in the board's original order made Oct 18, 1938. The Court of Appeals refused to sustain corporation's contention that many of the employees forfeited the right to reemployment by participating in disorders in which many were injured, property was damaged, employees were kept barricaded in factories and the mails were tied up. ine court agreed that "major crimes, such as wanton assault and battery, destruction of property, or the carrying of weapons or explosives" would bar workers from reemployment. The decision held, however, that fist fights and minor scraps along picket lines did not tuiisuiuie such crimes.
