Manila (U.P.)—Forty-six-year-old Ramon Magsaysay took a strong early lead today in the Philippines bloody presidential election, second in its history as a free nation.
VotingBloody In Philippines
At least nine persons were reported killed.
The energetic Mr. Magsaysay, who gained fame as the scourer of the Philippines' Communist-led Hukbalaahap rebels and who campaigned by jeep and water buffalo, was piling up impressive returns in Manila against incumbent President Elpidio Quirino and also was leading in scattered returns from the provinces.
Early unofficial provinces gave Mr. Magsaysay 92,169 and President Quirino 25,904. Nacionalista vice presidential candidate Carlos Garcia had 49,255 throughout the country against 18,502 for his Liberal opponent, Jose Yulo.
Manila traditionally votes against the party in power, and it is the provinces which will decide the eventual outcome of the election which was marred by violence and reports of "open terrorism."
President Quirino, who recently underwent two delicate abdominal operations in the United States, also visited the U.S., although somewhat limited campaign.
