The electors met In the vari

custom and the votes of 49,818|-j
995 citizens, cast 449 ballots for j
Franklin D. Roosevelt and 82 for
Wendell L. Wlllkle. I
The official canvass of the
popular vote on November B was
completed today by the last two
states—Rhode Island and Ne

and Wlllkle 22,332,801.
Forget to Take Oath
Some electors in today’s ballot
ing failed to show up and sub
stitutes had to be hustled in at
the last moment. Colorado’s six
electors cast their ballots, went
to lunch, then remembered none
had taken the oath. (Officials
ruled they could swear in later.)
The 23 electors of Texas, cast
ing their votes for Mr. Roosevelt,
adopted a resolution declaring
the electoral system obsolete and
urging Congress to initiate a con-
stitutionai amendment abolishing
ballots.
In Missouri a substitute voted
"or one elector who withdrew in
protest against a third term after
the President was renominated.

Director Hoover Turns In
3,000-Word Report On
Labor Leader, Party ’
Miami Beach, Fla., Dec. 16.—,
A 3,000-word report declaring
that Harry Bridges, west coast
labor leader. Is a Communist and
that the Communist party advo
cates the overthrow of the United
States government has been sub
mitted to the attorney general, P.
B. I. Director J. Edgar Hoover
said here today.
Hoover declined to divulge the
exact nature of the "factual evi
dence’’ about communism he said
the report contained, and he
would not predict what action
would be taken in Bridges’ case.
Bridges, head of the C. I. O.
long-shoremen’s unions on the
Pacific coast, has been the center
of a controversy in and out of
Congress for many montha and
the status of hia citizenship hu
been Investigated hr the labor
and Justice departments.
Authority Limited
Hoover said the federal bureau
of investigation had no authority
to order Bridges’ deportation.
Neither can It arrest any person
for merely holding membership
in the Communist party, he ex
plained, adding that only Con
gress can outlaw any group.
"We are an investigating agen
cy and all we can do Is Investi
gate and report," Hoover con
tinued.
The attorney general probably
will call public hearings on the
report, Hoover predicted.
The F. B. I. is checking on 16,-
000 reports of fifth column ac
tivity, Hoover reported, and the
G-men have assembled a “defense
index” of 6,000 names of "poten
tial enemies of the nation.’’ The
