Key speaker at the meeting was EM. Weston, president of the Labor. , Weston told the group a “right-to-work” referendum was defeated by a 2 to 1 vote in his home state. He said the controversial legislation did not have the support of clergymen or most Civic groups in Washington State. Gov.-elect Harold Handley told the group earlier he was “not going to carry the torch” for such

In state capitals across the land, a total of 531 people known as presidential electors gathered to cast ballots which formally elect the nation’s two highest officials. The electors will, as custom dictates. vote the way the majority of people in their respective states did in the November General election. so that the Eisenhower-Nix-on ticket still will be the winner. The results almost certainly will be: Eisenhower-Nixon, 457 electoral votes. Stevenson-Kefauver, 74 electoral • votes. Actually,- however, the electors could ignore the general election results and vote any way they please. Under the Constitution, they are free agents with full authority to make Tndependent choices. The framers of the Constitution originally intended the electors' vote to be the one that really counted. But, as our political system developed in practice, the popular vote has become the decisive one and the electors merely ratify it in a kind of* anti-climax The election is not official, however, until the electors go through their ritual. After today, the results can’t be changed even though the electoral votes won’t be counted formally until Jan. 7 when House and Senate meet in joint session. The complete official returns from 47 states and the complete unofficial returns from Rhode Island where absentee ballots are still being counted, showed Mr. Eisenhower received 35,575,421 popular votes, Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic , Candidate, 26,025,527 and candidates for other parties, 507,812.

Grand Jury To Probe : Death In Hospital 1 Patient's Medical 1 Records Are Stolen i “ SIOUX CITY. lowa (UP) — A • grand jury will investigate the death by infection of a hospital patient whose medical records were stolen following an operation. A coroner’s jury ruled Saturday night that James C. Sampers, 85, Storm Lake, lowa, “met his death under unusual circumstances.”"There is evidence of negligence sufficient to warrant” an investigation by the grand jury, the threeman group said. The jury was told some of the medical records of the patient ‘ were stolen between his operation on Dec. 3 and his death Dec. 8. 1 A police official testified that 5 Sioux City Osteopathic Hospital authorities informed him of the • theft the day of Sampers’ death. 3 The missing items included nurses’ ’ notes, hospitalization history, an 1 operation procedures chart and a • progress sheet. ’ Dr. Lester W. Jamieson, who ' performed the abdominal surgery 3 on Sampers. said he had difficulty locating the records two days before his death. When the records j were found, authorities said, they 1 were incomplete. ! Police said inquest testimony indicated “that infection was present I three or four days and should have been readily ascertainable by atay- ; one who knew anything about it.” J Dr. A.C. Starry, who performed . the autopsy, said a small piece <“of what I believe to have beefr a needle” was imbedded in Sam- . pecs’ abdomen. He denied, however, that the fragment had any- , thing to do with the death. Jamieson, the former owner of the hospital, was suspended the . day before Sampers’ death.' Hospital officials said, however, that , the action was taken because of a "personality clash" jynd cause of anything W eonneejfon with the Sampers case. few Eugene M.
