They are Samuel Salus to the state senate, and Arthur L. Greenstein, Arnold Blumberg, Morris J. Root, Morton J. Witkin, Herman J. Tahl, Louis Schwartz, Nathaniel E. Jaffe and Emanuel Fleisher, all Republicans, to the state assembly. In Pittsburgh Max J. Spann (R) was elected to the state assembly and Morris Einstein was reelected to the state senate.
