Texas Goes GOP After 24 Years
Dallas—(U.P.)-Texas went Republican Tuesday in a presidential election for the first time since 1928, conclusive returns showed today. Dwight D. Eisenhower will get the state's 24 electoral votes.
Democratic Gov. Allan Shivers, who campaigned for Eisenhower, telegraphed his congratulations to the president-elect.
"It looks as though the state has gone Republican," a spokesman in Stevenson - Sparkman state headquarters said.
Returns from 236 of the state's 254 counties, 33 complete, gave Eisenhower 756,788 votes and Adlai Stevenson 648,904, the Texas election bureau reported.
EDWARD F. ARN
Abilene (U,P)—Abilene was turned into New Year's eve bedlam early today as hometown boy Dwight D Eisenhower ascended to the Presidency of the United States.
Abilene Goes Wild Over Ike Victory
The celebration was swirling to a climax when Gov. Adalai Stevenson's concession was announced. Then the lid blew off with the old steam whistle at the creamyery where the President-elect used to work almost drowned out the blare of the municipal band, the town fire siren and the honking of hundreds of horns.
Mayor Amos Shivers promptly declared Nov. 5 a town holiday. School superintendent W. C. Robinson, sensing that his buildings would be vacant anyway, followed suit with an announcement that the schools would be dismissed all day.
A crowd of between 3,000 and 4,000 shoved through the streets throwing confetti and setting off saved-up fireworks.
GOP Candidates Cop 12 Gubernatorial Seats

Seccet
Jr. of Michigan swept ahead of Democratic Gov, G. Mennen Williams who is fighting for a third term.
Lt. Gov. Sherwood Dixon of Illinois, Gov. Adlai Stevenson's personal choice as his successor, clung to a slight lead over GOP State Treasurer William G. Stratton. An outpouring of downstate Republican votes all but offset Mr. Dixon's margin in Cook county.
Charles P. Taft, brother of Sen Robert A. Taft (R.-Ohio), conceded defeat early today in his effort to oust Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lausche, who won a fourth term.
Incomplete returns in 29 governor contests showed Democrats had won in six states and were ahead in six others.

GIs Reflect Stateside Interest In Presidential Tabulations
Eastern Front, Korea—(U.P.)-American soldiers kept on ear cocked toward radios and telephones today for the same news that was keeping people up far into the night back home.
Army radios started pouring out returns from the states as soon as the polls closed. Field telephones and small portable combat radio sets squawked the vote counts and the men in the holes and the bunkers relaced "the word" down the line.
Gov. Stevenson or Gen. Eisenhower?
As the very first returns started to filter in, giving Gen. Eisenhower a slight edge, the men continued to swap their views, which are pretty much like those from a cross-section in the states.
Pvt. Frank Borsky, 23, Jersey City, N.J., one of those who voted for the first time by mail box instead of ballot box, figured the lead would switch to Gov. Stevenson.
"In the last month," he said, "I've spoken to a lot of men. I don't know what the ratio is—but it's for Gov
Sampling another group brought the comment from Pvt. Jim Conover, 22, of Davenport, Iowa, another first-time voter, that "I voted for Gen. Eisenhower. National politics is a cycle, not a circle. I admire both men, but think for the sake of the two-party system the Republicans ought to get in."
"We've been arguing about it," he said. "I don't give much of a damn. All I know is that I have to spend 18 more months here. Most of the guys at the motor pool are for Gen. Eisenhower. They think he'll do something about Korea."
But down at one Army motor pool, Pvt. Robert Mills, 20, of Freewater, Ore., figured the trend was set.

Democratic Gov. Paul A. Dever of Massachusetts was ahead in his fight for re-election against Rep. Christian Herter (R.-Mass.).

Springfield, Ill., (U.P.)-Gov. Adai E. Stevenson early today conceded that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower won the 1952 presidential election.
Stevenson urged his supporters to give their backing to Eisenhower and said "I pledge him mine, We vote as many, we pray as one." He said that with "God's guidance" this nation shall move forward.
Then Stevenson said "that which united us as American citizens is far greater than that which divides us as a political party."
Stevenson spoke with a broad smile on his face, and he looked relieved that now it all was over. There were no tears on the part of his workers which could be seen, though a woman or two looked sad and there may have been a moist eye.
As he spoke there were shouts of "wait til '56," and "we want Stevenson."
Stevenson then read a telegram he had sent to Eisenhower.
"The people have made their choice and I congratulate you. That you may be the servant and guardian of peace and make the vale of trouble a door of hope, here's my earnest prayer. Best wishes, Adai L. Stevenson."
