The Ballot Error The printing of the official ballots for this, fall’s election with the Democrat and Republican columns reversed is a regrettable, but very human and understandable error on the part of the election board. The change in the law, plus the fact that inspectors continue to be appointed based on the in-county vote for the secretary of state, rather than the total state vote, are responsible for the error. The big problem is, should the ballots already cast be counted? We cannot think that the Republicans would desire not to count them, since to do so would disfranchise those who have already voted. It would be hard to argue that it would effect the votes of individuals to have the parties printed on the wrong side of the ballot. Surely most voters, especially those interested enough to apply for absent voters ballots, will vote by party designation and by name, rather than by sides of the ballots. In the past, the courts of law have held that the sections concerning directions for the printing of the ballots are mandatory before the election, but directory afterward. This means that you can be mandated to correct any ballot error before the election, but that an error in printing would not throw out the ballots after they have been voted. While the question of previously voted absentee ballots has never been determined, if a trial judge were to follow precedent, he could very well rule that the ballots already voted are valid. Otherwise, he would have to disfranchise all who have voted but who do not have time to get another ballot back. It is a good thing that the Secretary of State, Charles O. Hendricks, discovered this while in Adams county over the weekend, and we hope that he has called this to the attention of the election board, although the president of the board, when contacted this morning, did not know of it. It is quite possible that he will inform the county clerk, who is also the secretary of the board, in Indianapolis today when Richard D. Lewton picks up the state ballots. Undoubtedly the county election board will meet on the situation in the near future, and clarify the muddle. It is quite possible that the state election board has a precedent in the matter.

Suggestion Strong Psychological Force
By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - Could it be more "suggestion” than the accumulative alcoholic force of three martinis which converts imbibing human beings into silly asses? This question has been in the minds of some psychologists for a long time. Alcohol has power of its own, and no one would deny it. But “suggestion” is an enormously powerful psychological force. People who drink martinis or anything alcoholic know full well they’ll go “under the influence” in strict relation to the amount they drink. That is “suggestion.” The question is which contributes the most to drunkenness, “suggestion” or alcohol? Dr. Peter Hartocollis of the C. F. Menninger Memorial Hospital, Topeka, Kans., made a scientific stab at answering it. He persuaded 15 young physicians to be guinea pigs. They permitted a substance of a nature unknown to them to be infused into an arm vein by the now well-known drip-drip method employed for intravenous feedings in hospitals. j This substance was diluted alcohol. In an hour's time, enough of it was infused into each young man to raise his blood alcohol level to the point of intoxication. “Suggestion” Not Possible Since they didn’t know what was going into them, there could have been no specific “suggestion” that the result would be drunkenness — according to the experimental design. Therefore if they didn’t act drunk with the required amount of alcohol in their blood, “suggestion” would be proved a powerful contributor to drunkenness. Hartocollis kept them under close observation for an hour after they had been loaded, and he informed the Rutgers University Center of Alcohol Studies, New Brunswick, N.J., that “contrary to the hypothesis that would attribute a major part of alcohol effect to suggestion, it was found the subjects could look and feel drunk whether or not they knew or thought they knew they were under the influence of alcohol.” His guinea pig physicians were all aware that what had been put into them, whatever it was, was producing changes in them, both emotionally and physically. Their behavior changed, too. The changes were not uniform but they were present in every man. Evaluation Proves Difficult “It proved difficult to record and evaluate the behavior, which in most cases changed toward elation and excitement, subsequently quieting down to a state of relaxation, sleep or stupor,” Hartocollis reported. These changes were not different in type and variety than would have been expected if they had known they were taking on alcohol. But Hartocolils noted that the element of “suggestion” was not entirely absent, and he 1 despaired of science being able to eliminate it in experimenting 20 Years Ago \ Today Oct. 22, 1942 — Officials of the Central Sugar Co. in this city are predicting a beet sugar output of 45 million pounds this season, highest in the company’s history, with operations expected to extend to Feb. 1. Miss Glennis Elzey, Decatur high school teacher, has been elected to Pi Lambda Delta, honorary education fraternity. The Rev. Alvin Jasinski, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic church here until last June, has been commissioned as a. first lieutenant in the U. S. Army as a chaplain. More than 200 guests attended the style show and victory bridge sponsored by the Delta Theta Tau sorority at the Moose lodge home. The Decatur Yellow Jackets were defeated by the Bluffton Tigers, 6-0, in Decatur’s final football game of the season.

with human responses to drink. t His subjects knew there was no ; point in infusing anything into I them unless some reaction was j anticipated. All of them tried to r guess what the substance might be, and some guessed correctly. J The others guessed it was a new r hallucinating drug which if they r had believed firmly in the guess 1 would have “suggested” behavior 1 not too different from standard ' alcoholic behavior. r • | Modern Etiquette t I By Roberta Lee I ’ Q.

Soviet Union Is Silent On Border Fight MOSCOW (UPI) The Soviet Union remained silent for the fourth day today on the latest outbreaks of border fighting between India and China, while presumably considering a policy stand. In recent months, the Soviet press and radio have avoided mention of the border dispute, and there has been no comment in the Soviet press on the new Sino-Indian clashes. Western observers said the outbreak on Chinese-Indian border fighting has put the Soviet Union in the difficult position of not offending either of the Asian nations. On the one hand, the Soviet Union has tried to give the appearance of friendly relations with Red China—despite indications of serious ideological differences between them. On the other hand, the Soviet Union desires warm relatiohs with India, a leader of the world’s uncommitted nations. Western observers recalled that on Nov. 7, 1959, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev talked with several Western correspondents at a reception in honor of the Russian revolution. On that occasion he characterized the bolder dispute as “a sad stupid story.” He expressed the wish then that the dispute could be resolved. Western observers here have noted that, recent Soviet maps of the disputed area between India and China have been drawn along lines of the Chinese claims. It was believed here Russia would try to remain aloof from the dispute as long as possible. Some Western observers felt, however, that if the conflict flared into a full-scale war, the Soviet Union might be compelled to honor its military commitments to Communist China.
