GOP Texan LeadsinHouse
Dallas, Text, —(U.P.)—Republican Bruce Alger, an amateur in politics, increased his lead in a congressional race tonight over Democrat Wallace Savage.
The 36-year-old Mr. Alger and his workers claimed victory, though returns tabulated by the Texas election bureau from 124 of 164 precincts in the fifth district (Dallas) showed Mr. Savage still had a chance.
That tabulation showed Mr. Alger with 22,021 votes and Mr. Savage with 19,886.
Mr. Savage went over to the Republicans along with the majority conservative wing in the 1952 presidential elections. He and Alvin Lane, the Republican state chairman, maintained law offices together and had the same telephone number.
Mr. Alger, is a real estate agent who said he never made a speech until he started running against Mr. Page, 47, a former mayor of Dallam.
Iowa is called "the largest cornfield on earth." The state grows better than half a billion bushels in an average year, one-sixth of the entire United States crop.
Carroll Leads In Colorado
Denver—U (P, U)—Most of Colorado's general election contests see-sawed last night as unofficial tabulations hit the half-way mark and Democrat John A. Carroll made a strong recovery in the U.S. Senate race.
Political newcomer Alva B. Adams, Democrat, appeared on his way to unsetting incumbent Rep. J. Edgar Chenoweth (Rep.) in Colorado's third congressional district. With 185 of 451 precincts reported, Mr. Adams held a slim lead of 27.42 to 27,223 and was coming up
With 70 per cent of the votes counted, Mr. Allott had 171,500 votes to Mr. Carroll's 168,400 votes, at 2:30 this morning.
Mr. Carroll lagged 15,000 votes behind Republican Lt. Gov. Gordon Allott when one-third of the ballots had been counted, but rolled back to almost a tie quickly.

Key Governorships Taken From GOP By Democrats
WOLFSON'S 743 Massachusetts
In this year's key gubernatorial races, the Democrats captured key governorships in New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, and early this morning threatened others.
Democrat George M. Leader swept to victory over Republican Llcyd H. Wood in the Pennsylvania gubernatorial race, and in Connecticut Democrat Abraham Ribicoff nosed out Republican Gov. John Davis Lodge, who was seeking a second four-year term.
The Democrats also were leading in Massachusetts, which now has a Republican governor, as well as in Arizona and New Mexico. A close battle loomed in Iowa.
Partially offsetting Mr. Harriman's New York victory was the re-election of Gov. Goodwin J. Knight in California, second only to New York as a politically powerful state. Mr. Knight easily won over Democrat Richard P. Graves.
Democrat G. Mennen Williams was leading in his bid for re-election in Michigan. Other incumbent leaders were Republicans C. Elmer Anderson in Minnesota, Charles H. Russell in Nevada, and Walter J. Kohler in Wisconsin.
