Problems Involved In Voting Machines

Should the Adams county commissioners replace the paper ballot system with voting machines in the county’s jttecincts? The commissioneers, the precinct committemen and county Democratic, and Republican organizations, and elected officials, have pondered this problem for several years. A number of factors must be taken into consideration. The precincts, a total of 39, were set up many years ago. With the substitution of voting machines for ballots, the number could be reduced to at least 25, according to a survey made four years ago. For each of the 39 presents there is a Democratic and Republican precinct committeeman and committeeworhan, or a total of two party officials for each of the two major parties per precinct. If the number of precincts is re-! duced from 39 to the recommended I 25, the number of members of the i county committee is reduced from 78 to 50. This means less local representation as far as the parties are concerned, and both parties have opposed this in the past. Possible Saving At first glance it would seem a substantial saving considering the reduction in the number of election boards whose costs average about SIOO at each precinct per election. At a cost of approximately $2,000 per machine, the county would have invested close to $50,000 in initial costs. Along with the acquisition of the machines go maintenance and storage. Voting machines must be stored in a warm, dry place to guard against rust which would render the machines inoperable. At the same time, trained mechanics, preferably one per precinct, must be available to service the machines before election day and also to repair breakdowns should they occur on voting day. ’ ~? . Transportation costs also enter the picture. Since the machines weigh approximately 1,000 pounds each, special handling equipment ta required to transport the mechanical votors to places on election day. At present only the voters’ booths are stored and moved. From the viewpoint of the x board’s convenience, voting machines would be ideal because they would eliminate need of election boards staying up possibly all night to count ballots. The machine results are totaled immediately, but absentee ballots would still have to be counted. Still Print Ballots Another point in favor of voting machines is the cost saved in having ballots printed. However, a certain percentage of ballots still must be printed to insure continued Voting in event of mechanical breakdown. * Votirig machines would mean a speedup in voting time through the abandonment of the separate

slips of paper prepared for local, state, and national slates. All the voter would have to ,do is pull a ■ lever to record votes ? for the candidates he has selected. However, if the voter realizes he has made a mistake in voting, nothing can be done to erase the error once the lever is pulled. On the other hand, paper ballots can be corrected, even if the inspector has the slip in his hand but not yet dropped it into the box. But voting machines could also mean a loss of some older voters who might be hesitant to adapt themselves to new procedures. Another disadvantage conceivably could come about in the distance required for one to reach a polling place. Since voting places would be more centrally located, a few eligible voters might be handicapped in this regard. » In summation, each system has both its good and its bad points. More study is required before ah ultmate decision can be reached.

Support Pouring In For Little Kuwait KUWAIT (UPI) — Sheik Abdullah Al-salim Al-sabah deployed his 3,000-man army along Kuwait’s northern frontier today in defiance of Iraq’s claim to this oilrich nation. Support for him” poured in from such diverse capitals—as London, Mecca, Cairo and Tehran. Kuwait’s Supreme Council acted swiftly to make certain that the internal situation was under control and that the border was secure against possible attack. The sheik declared that Kuwait is “an independent Arqb state” and will “defend her independence.” The latest crisis in the Middle East was touched off’ Sunday when Iraqi Premier Abdul Karim Kassem declared that Kuwait was part of Iraq and would be “protected” by Iraq’s armed forces. Kassem promised to “free the people' from the “Yoke of feudalism” and said that “anyone who stands in the way will be regarded as a traitor.” (No troop movements were reported from Iraq’s side of the frontier and there was no indication that any invasion was imminent.) ' . ...T I jßritain has troops in nearby Bahrein and Aden, as well as units of the strategic reserve in Kenya? and could move them swiftly into Kuwait if needed. Britain is obliged to defend Kuwait under an agreement signed eight days ago which granted the I sheikdom independence after 62 ; years as a British protectorate.

AMA Debates Working With Osteopaths - NEW YORK (UPD—The policymaking body of the American Medical Association took tq committee debate today a strong recommendation that the AMA reappraise its stand and rule it ethical for members to work professionally with osteopaths who give their patients approved scientific care. Debate also began on a recommendation of its council-on-drugs that when oral polio virus vaccines become available, all physicians should take the lead in sparking mass community vaccination. Those were among a record 102 resolutions and reports sent to committee by the 216 - member House of Delegates, the AMA policy body which will act on them when they are reported out late Wednesday or Thursday. This was the third day of the 110th annual meeting of the WMA, which—with 185.000 members—represents 70 per cent of all the doctors of medicine in the United States. One proposed resolution, from the Texas delegation, would have the House of Delegates go on record “unequivocally in opposition” to President Kennedy’s Senate and House bills to finance health care for the aged through increased Social Security taxes. The resolution said the bills would bring a program of socialized medicine .which would result in poorer medical care and lead to the decline of voluntary health insurance programs. The special report on osteopathy was made by the judicial council of the House of Delegates. It said there never could be an ethical relationship between a medical doc- ' tor and a cubist. However, it said the transition occurring within osteopathy—the fact that many doctors of osteopathy are practicing scientific medical care—shows that it now is time for the AMA to reappraise its policy. recommended that the AMA declare that it is not unethical for members to associate professionally on a voluntary basis with osteopathic physicians i who base their practice on the I same scientific and ethical prinI cipals as an M.D. does. State and : local medical associations would ' apply the test of scientific heal- ' ing to the individual osteopathic doctors.

Pair Arrested For Huntington Holdup HUNTINGTON, Ind. - (UPD — Two ex-convicts, one of them a bank robber, were arrested today in the holdup of a Huntington filling station late Monday night. The men, identified as James Roy Cox, 30, Marion, and Charles Daugherty, Wichita, Kan., were caught by state police on Indiana 37 near Mount Etna when their rented car crashed into the rear of a parked auto. Police were serching for the filling station bandits who held up Woody’s Service Station when they came upon the crash scene. Police said Cox was released from the federal penitentiary at Terre Haute in 1960 after serving a term, and Daugherty was freed from Arkansas State Prison six months ago after serving time for bank robbery.

Airport Changes Jim Crow Policy

NEW ORLEANS (UPI)-A federal lawsuit trying to knock down color barriers at lavish Moisant International Airport today<. has apparently caused a breach in the Jim Crow policy. "We have a new policy now,” said E. Neil Wannen, manager of eating facilities at the $2.25 million terminal building. "We will serve Negroes in the coffee shop.” The Justice Department filed a suit Monday charging the airport broke a non-discrimination clause in the agreement under which federal funds paid 'half of the terminal building's construction cost. Until a few days ago, all Negroes wishing to eat in the sumptuous international room or the spacious, lee pretentious coffee shop were shunted off to a sixstool snack bar where cellophanewrapped cookies, sandwiches and coffee in paper cups are sold. Wannen said terminal policy still bars Negroes from the plush International Room, site of a’ series of sit-ins by a group of Negro professional people who have filed separate lawsuits against airport discrimination. Admits Exclusion "We feed Negroes in this terminal. This firm (Interstate Hosts) operates facilities like this in all parts of the nation. Here, because of local custom, we have excluded Negroes from certain areas df the terminal,” Wannen said. Wannen did not say whether the

new policy was the result of Justice Department negotiations precedent to the filing of Monday’s suit. A. P. Tureaud, attorney for Negro plaintiffs in two private anti-, discrimination suits against the airport, said however, that he had been in close liaison with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division for the past few weeks. Tureaud, a Negro, was admitted with his wife and two children into the International Room Sunday night. However, after they were seated, the hostess told them the International Room was “reserved” and suggested the snack bar.. Test Racial Policy Other Negroes testing racial policy over the weekend were turned away from the International Room but were admitted to the coffee shop, which previously had a ban against Negroes. For the past several years, federal funds have been used in the South only for construction of runways, hangars and the like. The Justice Department decided it could move in the New Orleans cause because federal funds had helped finance the terminal building at Moisant. But elsewhere in the South, kittle money from the federal treasury has gone into terminal waiting rooms and restaurants.

Former Truman Adviser Hits Kennedy Plans UNITY HOUSE, Pa. (UPD— Former President Truman’s chief economic adviser said today President Kennedy’s aides should stop talking “a c £d e m i c nonsense” about the need for wage-price restraints. Economist Leon Keyserling said a sharp boost was needed in the income of wage-earners, farmers and Social Security recipients to stimulate the economy. He also attacked Kennedy’s economic programs as inadequate and predicted unemployment would rise from 6 to 7 million in four years without a faster growth rate. Talks To Newsmen Keyserling was interviewed by newsmen before he gave his views to the 27-man ruling body of the AFL-CIO at its summer meeting in this union resort. ‘“This economic philosophy I hear in Washington is reminiscent of the Eisenhower administration/’ he said. “It’s not enough better. It doesn’t represent any basic change.” He referred to the call for restraint in ware and price increases by Walter Heller, top economic adviser to Kennedy. He also deplored hesitancy on the part of Kennedy’s advisers to recommend stronger programs to combat rising joblessness.

“I’m tired of these* braintrusts -end Intellectuals who say we can’t do more because the people are not ready for it,” Keyserling said. Urges Government Restraint As for restraining wages, Keyserling said: “Government should keep its mouth absolutely shut and let management and labor fight it out or, if it talks, make an analysis of wages and profits and provide some useful guidelines.” Members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council clashed over racial policies and appealed to the President to withhold a Taft-Hartley injunction in the maritime strike at Monday’s opening session. A. Philip Randolph. only Negro vice-president of the AFL-CIO, attacked federation President George Meany for delaying a crackdown on union racial restrictions. Randolph said it was a “grave mistake” to postpone action on his charges of union bias until a three-man subcommittee Could study them and report next fall. Meany said he would name the panel before the session ends later this week. Eisenhower Favors Electoral Reforms WASHINGTON (UPD Former President Eisenhower has endorsed efforts to overhaul the winner-take-all Electoral College system of electing presidents. In a letter to Sen. Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., the former chief executive urged "thoughtful and constructive” attention to improving the Electoral College.

TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1991

“I believe the jjt-fsent method is outmoded, particularly In that it tends to be unrepresentative of votes actually cast for a presidential cand id a t e,” Eisenhower wrote. Contents of the letter were disclosed as Kefauver’s subcommittee on constitutional amendments resumed hearings on electoral reform proposals. It is' considering 21 different measures to change the - method of nominating and electing presidents. Some would abolish the Electoral College entirely. Others would carve up a state’s electoral vote—the total of its senators and representatives — in proportion to he popular vote. Both Eisenhower and formzr President Hoover declined Kefauver’s invitation to testify personally. Former President Truman has not yet replied to his invitation.
