CROWE DETROIT, Nov. 8 (IP) A shift toward a stronger Republican ma jority in the house of the 66th Michigan legislature was indicated today as unofficial returns of gen eral election balloting showed Democrats losing two of the 39 seats they held. With all precincts reporting in the Wayne county sixth district.

Democrats were assured of 28 house seats. leaving 20 contests still undecided. Nowhere did any of the 61 of the 100 house seats held by Republi cans in the 65th legislature appear in danger of going to Democrats. There were no signs that the Republicans would iose any of the 23 of 32 senate seats they held in the senate. Complete unofficial re turns assured the Republicans of senate seats and the Democrats ot seven in the new legislature.

State Backs Oleo Color Other Proposals Win Strong Support in Tuesday Election DETROIT, Nov.

8 IP) A proposal to legalize the sale of colored oleo margarine and three other public issues were receiving the overwhelming support of Michigan voters in Tuesday's election with about three-fourths of the state's precincts reporting. Proposal No. 4, which would remove the Michigan ban on the sale of colored oleo. won 870.372 votes, compared with 429574 votes against out of. 3,424 of the state's 4,361 per-cincts.

Sale of yellow oleo. banned since 1901, was the subject of a legislative act passed in 1949. However, the act was suspended by petition of Michigan's dairy interests until the vote could be taken. In view of the thumping vote ap proval, Michigan housewives could expect the yellow oleo on the grocers' shelves within 30 days. State law provides that the Michigan board of canvassers must certify the election within 20 days after the vote is taken and that approved proposals shall take effect 10 days after certification.

It was predicted that the mercury would drop to 38 degrees tonight, with a high of 42 Thursday. Heavy snow is expected on the Keweenaw peninsula. The local forecast also called for showers with strong winds Wednesday night.

Barnes went into the county with a 3.383 majority, which political observers predicted would be sufficient to cinch the election. Local voters gave a whopping majority in favor of the four state proposals, the Midway annexation proposition and a special proposal calling for a retirement system, for Ingham county employes. Coroner Ray Gorsline. seeking reelection, was accorded the honor of receiving the highest number of votes of any candidate on the state or county tickets. Gorsline Tops Vote Mr.

Gorsline received 18,055 votes. His closest rival for high vote honors was his Republican running mate, Harry E. Leadley, who polled 17.892. All other county incumbent officers were re-elected. Paul C.

But air observers reported "very heavy traffic" rolling across Manchuria toward the Yalu river bound ary.

They also spotted an estimat ed 700 vehicles already south of the river in North Korea. As the U. N. air arm mounted one of the largest raids of the Korean war, reinforcements arrived on the Korean east coast. Elements of the U.

By MILT DEAN HILL (State Journal Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 The CAA announced today the awarding of $75,000 as the federal government's share of the $150,000 improvement of the Capital City airport at Lansing. The civil aeronautics administration said that of the $150,000, half must be provided from local sources. Present plans call for $50,000 to be spent on buildings at the airport and $100,000 for expansion projects preparing new areas for extending and paving the runways. The money vWill be spent during the 1951 fiscal year and will be made available immediately.

It is part of a long-term program designed to bring the Capital City airport to the point where it is one of the finest and most modern in Michigan, fully capable of handling four-engine planes. Nine Airports Aided In all, Michigan projects were given $851,650 for nine airports, including two at Detroit. Michigan counties and cities must. match the federal dollars with from local sources. Only the Wayne county airport at Detroit, which got $500,000, and Hie expansion programs at Grand Rap ids and Flint were earmarked for more federal funds than Capital City airport.

Grand Rapids was given $102,000 and Flint $100,000. A new all-time record vote for an off-year election was recorded in Lansing Tuesday as 30,469 persons went to the polls. Hotly contested races for state and county offices by Republicans and Democrats, accounted for the new high in voting, which exceeded the 1946 record of 29.768. Lansing ran true to form, piling up safe margins for all Republican candidates, yielding no office to the opposition party. Early returns from the first ward and a few precincts of other wards in the city sent shudders down the backs of G.

As the evening progressed, this strength began to wane, and the hoped-for support of Republican voters began to make definite appearances, and gain which finally swamped the opposition with safe and impressive majorities.

During the early hours of Tuesday evening, Hernly's support was exceedingly strong, but gradually, Mr. Barnes began to close the gap in the race, and eventually emerged in city voting with a total of 16,315 votes against 12,932.
