PENDERGAST WINS1 BUT LEAD IS CUT First Election Since Vote Fraud Scandals Finds Boss Still on Top. B» the Associated Press. KANSAS CITY, March 30.—Tom • Pendergast still is boss of one of the most powerful city political organiza tions in the Nation, but he knew to day he had been in a fight. The Democratic leader retained the City Hall, which he has dominated since 1926, by winning a hotly con tested battle of 194,000 ballots in yes terday’s municipal election. It was the first election here since Kansas City was rocked by vote fraud scandals two years ago. Mr. Pendergast's 1934 majority of 59,000, rolled up at a city election marred by four killings, wras cut to 43, 000 yesterday in orderly voting guarded by a new bipartisan City Election Board. Coalition Opposition. The opposition was a coalition party of Republicans and independent Dem ocrats. formed only a few months ago by a house-to-house canvas, to chal lenge an organization founded in the 80s. Unofficial figures gave Pendergast’s Mayor, Bryce B. Smith, 118,875 rotes for a third term to 75,213 for the co alitionists' Col. Fred Whitten, a lawyer 1 and World War veteran. ( Mr. Pendergast called his ticket's 1 victory “a wonderful showing,” and ’ issued this statement: 1 "If it is true, as the Kansas City < Star and the coalition speakers re ported, that the Democratic President ( of the United States was against us, 1 that the Attorney General of the * United States was against us, that the 1 Governor of the State of Missouri was 1 against us, that the bipartisan Election 1 Board was against us, that the inde- '< pendent Kansas City Star newspaper was against us—I think, under those 1 conditions, we made a wonderful i showing. ] Fight Over U. S. Attorney. t United States District Attorney Maurice Milligan, whose prosecution < of the 1936 frauds here has resulted in 1 56 convictions of election workers f without an acquittal, was reappointed . recently on recommendation of At torney General Cummings and Presi- I dent Roosevelt. Senator Harry S. Tru man, Democrat, of Missouri, a Pender gast adherent, opposed the reappoint- I ment. Mr. Pendergast has been at odds with Gov. Stark over appoint ments. In the campaign Mr. Whitten i blamed the Pendergast organization t for the 1936 frauds and charged that < wide-open gambling and protected vice : were rampant here. t Despite the reduced majority, Pen- ; dergast forces won back one of the . two council seats he lost to a fusionist , movement in 1934. < W.

"I just work for a liv ing ” Temperament, Mr. Crooks said, is due to nervousness when an artist isn't sure of himself. After the rehearsal, Dr. Kindler and the singer—friends since the conductor was solo ’cellist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, with whom Mr. Crooks often sang—retired to a small dressing room to compare notes on mu sical world gossip.

By the Associated Press. The Maritime Commission an nounced yesterday it would press to morrow for foreclosure of mortgages it holds on the Munson Steamship Line’s four Pan-American vessels— Southern Cross, American Legion, Pan-American and Western World. A motion to foreclose the mortgages has been pending for two years in United States Court for the southern district of New York. The vessels, now being operated in the East Coast-South American route, were sold by the Government to the Munson Line in November, 1925, for more than $4,000,000. The Govern ment's claim, including interest, amounts to about $3,000,000. The commission said “it now appears definitely clear that no practical plan" of reorganization, satisfactory to all the necessary parties, could be ef fected for the company. In June, 1934, the line filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy and since has been oper ated by trustees.
