To Count All Time Referendum Votes ; State Board Rules All Ballots Count INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana State Election Board has ruled that no time referendum ballots in next week's election should be thrown out, even if voters contradict themselves in answering the questions. The referendum asks four questions about voter preference for Central Standard or Eastern Standard time. Election officials adnutted the questions might be just as confusing as the time picture

Your Vote Will Be Appreciated ■ If elected as your state representative, I shall be careful to vote for such measures which will be for the interests and benefit of the general public, and the people of our two counties, and in justice to ALL. I shall give special attention to the welfare of juveniles, crippled children, the mentally ill, the veterans, the underpriviliged, the needy, the laborers and farmers. I shall favor improvement of our ditch laws, enactment of a parental responsibility law, recodification of the juvenile delinquency laws, improvements of some of our Court procedures, and I shall work for safety on our highways. I shall work for a REDUCED BUDGET and a BALANCED BUDGET, and am unalterably opposed to DEFICIT SPENDING. I shall at all times be glad to confer and counsel with the people of Adams and Wells Counties, doing my best to be responsive to their needs and desires. I will not favor any new taxes, but will strongly urge economy along all lines. Soliciting your vote at the General Election on Nov. 6,1 am Sincerely Yours, Democratic Candidate for Joint Representative for Adams and Wells Counties. Pd. Pol.

jin Indiana the last several years. Question No. 1 asks: “Do you favor the retention of Central Standard Time as the official time for the State of Indiana?" If so, asks No. 2, should localities be allowed to go on Daylight Saving Time “for certain periods of the year?” No. 3 asks if Eastern Standard should be the official time. If so, asks No. 4, should communities be allowed to have Daylight Daylight Saving Time on that basis? A person answering No. 1 “no” could hardly answer No. 2 at all. But that won’t make any difference, the election board said. Even if a voter contradicts himself by saying he wants both Eastern Standanl and Central Standard as Indiana’s “official” time, the ballot will be counted, the

ruling indicated.

ruling indicated. State Election Commissioner Tom Faulconer said in a letter to Whitley County Clerk Kenneth A. Nichols: “It is the opinion of this board that the vote on thi§ question concerning time, being for the information and guidance of the members of the 90th General Assembly, should be liberally construed and that the votes for or against any of the four questions should be certified by your canvassing board no matter what the combination on any separate ballot should be.” “I feel, however, that any instructions you may publish for the benefit of the voters should specify that they should vote either for or against questions 1 and 2, or for or against questions 3 or 4," Faul- ■ coner said.

B. Medaris, commanding the Army Ballistic Missiles Agency,, in his address to the annual convention in Washington of the Association of the United States Army. The drawings (top) show how the project would work. At left is a cutaway sketch showing how 18 soldiers with equipment could be moved 500 nautical miles in less than 30 minutes. Insert shows the layout of bunks arranged in groups of three around the missile center. The center drawing illustrates the payload compartment carrying troops, weapons, supplies. It is automatically guided to land in vertical position via parachute. Rocket power is used to brake its speed of descend. At right, the missile-transport troops are ready for combat after their journey through outer space. In center photo, Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris (left) and Dr. Wernher Von Braun, former German missiles expert and now Director of Development Operations Division at Redstone Arsenal, view a display of models of the Army’s guided missiles. At bottom, left, is the satellite base in outer space described by Dr. Von Braun. At a height of 1,075 miles, such a manned satellite cotild circle the earth and afford observation of every point on the globe once in 24 hours. Missives could be launched and directed at any target The inner arc on the photo represents the spot from i which a missile was fired and shows its flight path three quarters of the distance around the earth to its target. The missile would be under constant observation and control of the satellite’s crew. The photo at right with the explosive-carrying missile is shown nearing its target on earth from a satellite station. The weapon would reach its destination within 90 minutes after leaving the satellite launcher, more than 1,000 miles above the earth. (International Soundphotos)
