But the chief executives of 11 other citiesincluding the Mayor of Melrose who was un- opposedwere kept in office, according to returns received early this morning. Bitterly-waged contests in most of the cities brought out a record or near record number of voters. In other municipalities where changes in the form of government were considered by referenda, an exceptionally large vote was recorded. Two hours after the polls closed in Somerville Mayor Bradley conceded the election to John M. Lynch, former Mayor.

A half hour. later Mayor Reynolds took the same action and said he would personally extend his congratulations to his successful adversary, Alderman Philip J. Crowley.

Plan A Wins; Boston to Get New Charter' Boston junked its 30-year- 1 old charter in yesterday's election in favor of a more modern Plan A program by a vote of almost two to one. With 320 of Loston's 362 precincts tabulated the vote in favor' of adopting a Plan A charter was 126,687 to 64,386. Although municipal elections under the new charter will continue to be non-partisan. the fields of candidates for Mayor, School Committee and City Council will be reduced through a preliminary election or primary, which will be held a month in advance of the November elections.

The first Plan A election will come in 1951, which means that Mayor-elect Hynes will serve 4 only half of a normal four-' 1 year term. Also, the entire five-man School Committee will be up for election at that, time. Replacing the 22-man City Council, whose members are elected on a ward basis, will be a nine-ma Council elected city-wide. Members of Plan A School Committees and Council will serve two-year terms and Plan A Mayors will four years. See 1114N A 'Page 33 le 11 MEDFORD, Nov.

-A 37- yeer-old Salem-st man was shot in the groin about 10 tonight a short distance from his home by a man, who, police said. seized a patrolman's revolver and at 11--st tried to shoot the officer. Several persons in the neighborhood, including an I8-yearold girl recuperating 'from an appendectomy at er home, narrowly missed being struck by bullets during a running gunfight between police and the fleeing gunman. Several win 125,000 record set by Tobin in 1941. And even in defeat Mayor Curley polled the highest vote even given him in Boston, 9000 more than when he won his second term 20 years ago.

8 IL Lehman tossed Re. publican John Foster Dulles out of his United States Senate seat and the Democrats kept control of New York city today in a major triumph for the "Fair Deal." President Truman, who made speech last Saturday for Leh. paan, the Democrat-Liberal candidate, immediately declared his party's victories in the Empire State would have "a decided effect on elections of 1950." "This certainly is a most happy evening," the President said in Washington. Lehman, once described by the late President Roosevelt as "my good right arm," appeared to havesbeaten Dulles by about 200,000. The former Governor campaigned, as a staunch supporter.of Mr.

Truman's domestic program. Mayor William O'Dwyer, whO also wrapped himself in the mantle of the "Fair Deal," won handily in New York city for a second term over two foes. The election result was a decided setback for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, who appointed Dulles to the Senate in Jvily when Senator Robert F.

Wagner resigned. We Understand Perfectly, Comrade' LAKE SUCCESS, 8 Thirit became a topic of discussion today in the United Nations when Poland complained that it was unjust and improper to cloie the bar all day in U.N. headquarters because of Amer ican election day laws.
