UPSET ELECTION GIVES PUBLISHERS RED FACES TOO

The poll takers didn’t have any monopoly on red faces after yesterday's election results. The Chicago Daily Tribune, self-tyled “world’s greatest newspaper,” was available on Indianapodis newstands with a neightcolumn headline, “GOP Wins White House.” First paragraph of the story read, “Dewey and Warren swept the country in'the presidential election yesterday.” The United States News, in an issue dated tomorrow, says in its Newsgram, “Dewey comes as the professional administrator.” In its Nov. 1. issue, Life magazine captioned a picture of Dew-

ey, “The next President travels by ferry ove rthe broad water of San Francisco Bay.” / Then, too, there was Drew Pearson, author of Washington Merry-Go-Round who had mailed out an article predicting Dewey’s White House appointments. It was published in The Star’s early editions yesterday. The Kiplinger Letter, now in the mails, will advise its subscribers of Dewey’s plans for the coming administration. And a Wall Street Journal reporter spent six fruitless weeks. He’s been working on a series of stories outlining the governmet changes which had been scheduled to take place after Dewey's inauguration.
