At the end of the license year. Sat urday, eppsoximately 255,000 motor vehicles had been registered by the motor vehicle division, Mr. Bohlen said. It waa estimated that about 145,000 licenses had been issued Saturday for the new license year, which meant that there wete still to be issued some 100,000. Officials explained that although enforcement would not begin before Friday, all orders received hereafter that were postmarked after October 31st would also have to include a fee of 50 cents, in addition to the amounts shown on the-application cards, for late registration. Commenting on the postponement of enforcement, Mr. Bohlen said, “We do not have authority of law to extend the time for purchasing motor vehicle licenses, but on account of ‘many thousands of unfilled applications, our law enforcement officers have been instructed not to make cases before Friday, November 6th.” All day Saturday a line of persons stood at the windows of the highway department waiting to purchase tags.

So im pressive was the president’s lead— he was ahead in no fewer that 45 States—that the Democrat^ claimed the most sweeping electoral victory in history. A radio broadcast at eight o’clock Wednesday morning showed London ahead in only two States— Maine and Vermont. The great States of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio—a bloc whose weight ia usually decisive—were helping to pile up the Democratic ticket’s impressive margin of leader ship.
