pointed toward an all-time high
of 50.000.000.
As never before, the men and wo-
men who had the final say-so on
the argument over a fourth term for
President Roosevelt or a first for
governor Thomas E. Dewey hurried
to the polls to register their deci-
sion. Between 40 and 45 percent of
registered voters got their ballots in
before noon in New York City's
Bronx and Manhattan districts.
Voting Is Orderly
And it was much the same in
other big cities and rural districts as
well, with few exceptions.
Despite the emotions stirred up
the first war-time election since
1864. voting was orderly on the
whole.
Six persons were arrested in New
York on charges of illegal registra-
tion. They were among 400 in-
dicted last week on that charge.
Senator Harry S. Truman, run-
ning mate of President Roosevelt,
cast his ballot early at Indepen-

"Hello. Harry" as the senator and
Ills wife passed their neighbors to
enter the balloting place.

CAIRO. Nov. 7—tu.R>—Jewish ex-
tremists critical of Britain's policy
in Palestine were blamed today for
the assassination of Lord Moyne.
British resident minister to the mid-
dle east.
(Prime Minister Winston Church-
ill told commons in London that the
British government had "as yet re-
ceived no official information which
fixed authorship of the crime or
gives a clue to Us motive." He
added that "very searching Inquiries
will be made into the origin and
association of these strangers (the
assassiqs) to Egypt ”)
Moyne died at a British military
hospital late yesterday, several hours
after two youths shot him in the
neck, chest and abdomen as he
stepped into his automobile in front
of his home in Cairo.
The two assailants were mobbed,
stripped nakpd and nearly lynched
by enraged crowds at the scene.
Rescued by police, they sullenly re-
fused to answer questions put to
them by high British and Egyptian
officials.
Premier Ahmed Maher Pasha
called a special cabinet meeting last
night and personally participated
in the questioning of the assassins.
Sir William Croft, secretary at the
minister's office, said the act was
"a particularly senseless assassina-
tion. bound to recoil on the heads
of those responsible for it.”
Moyne, former colonial and agri-
culture minister ln Britain, was
named deputy minister of state in
Cairo in 1942 and succeeded to the
resident ministership last year. He
