HEAVY BALLOT IN WEST COAST AREA AWAITED

53 Vital Electoral Votes at Stake in Eight States; G. 0. P. Hopeful.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5 (U. P)). —Close to 5,000,000 persons in the eight states of the Pacific slope— about 80 per cent| of a registered 6,500,000—were expected to go to the

polls today despite rain in Oregon and Washington and the prediction of rain in northern California. With 53 vital electoral votes at stake in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, Republicans hoped to break the Democratic hold that has existed west of the Rockies since 1932.”

G. 0. P. Counts, on Oregon

On the basis of registration, only one state—Oregon—appeared within the Republican ranks, and by 35 votes. Democrats nevertheless predicted victory by | a 25,000-vote margin, but the fact remained that Senator Charles L., McNary, Republican Vice Presidential nominee, calls Oregon “home,” and that was a powerful factor to be considered. Oregon casts five votes in the elec-

toral college. )

Republican campaign strategists were hopeft] of swinging California, Utah, Idaho and possibly Washington to the ‘banner of Wendell L. Willkie, x

Democrats Lead in California

California, with .22 electoral votes, probably will turn out better than 3,200,000 of its 4,052,395 registered voters, Here the Democrats have a margin of 961,000 over Republicans. Washington has 950,000 registered voters, providing eight eléctoral votes, and while predominately Demacratic, Republicans looked for a comeback. Arizona, with 183,000 registered’ voters, and Nevada, with just over 50,000, are both Democratic states by tradition. Utah, too, has been Democratic in the past, but observers said they saw a pronounced

* Republican trend. Idaho and Mon-

tana also were believed to be safely in the Democratic ranks. ;

MICHIGAN COUNTS

ON RECORD BALLOT :

DETROIT, Nov. 5 (U, P).— Michigan, a center of political differences between John L. Lewis and the large C. I. O. United Automobile Workers’ Union, was expected to cast a record vote of nearly 2,000,000 today. : | President Roosevelt, who carried the state by 317,061 votes four years ago, was expected to get most of his support in Wayne ( Detroit) and other industrial counties. The U. A. W.-C. 1.-O. claimed the 500,000 votes of its Michigan members and their families would be cast for him. The union had repudiated C. I. O. President Lewis for indorsing Wendell L. Willkie, Republicans counted on Mr. Willkie to show marked strength in the usually Republican centers outstate, however, and |his workers | predicted he would cut| heavily jnto Detroit's Democratic vote. Republicans claim support among automotive workers, particularly in Flint and Pontiac. {

OHIO VOTERS CAST PIVOTAL BALLOTS

COLUMBUS, O., Nov.|6 (U. P.).—,

Ohio's 26 electoral votes stood out as a highly important block in the national election today, as an estimated record number of Ohio voters went to the polls. There was firm basis for the belief of many politicians that! Ohio would be the state, or at least] one of the group of pivotal states, that will decide the presidential election when all returns are in. Ohio's vote has been for the winner in every presi-

dential contest since, but not in-|

cluding, 1892. Ohio was' one of the big battlegrounds of the 1940 campaign. Politicians, sideline observers and conductors of straw polls were cautious : in predicting the trend.

BITTER FIGHT LOOMS FOR ILLINOIS VOTE

CHICAGO, Nov. 5 (U. P.) .—Illinois voted today in a Presidential election regarded as a contest between Republicans and the KellyNash Democratic organization of Cook (Chicago) County, denounced by Wendell L. Willkie ion seven campaign trips to this state. Democrats forecast | President Roosevelt would carry Cook County by 150,000 votes and lose {the downstate, rural section by 75,000. Republicans predicted My. Willkie would carry downstate | and the Chicago suburbs by 400,000 votes and cut down the normally large Democrati¢ plurality in Copk County. Inclement: weather with cold rain in the southern and eastern portions of the state was forecast, and the downstate vote was expected to suffer more heavily than the metropolitan balloting.

Blood Ba

CITY HOSPITAL HAS TOP ROLE

Physicians to Be Taught How to Draw and Process Vital Fluid.

The Indiana Medical Association has begun the collection of a blood bank for national defense, using a new process that makes civilian blood a military supply for the first time in the history of warfare. The program is being begun at City Hospital here, bracketing Indianapolis with Chicago and New York as the only cities reported to be so far advanced in defense plans. The preliminary part of the program, as carried out at City Hosital, will be the instruction of as many physicians as possible in the technique of the new system—the rawing of the blood from donors, its processing and its administration. ' Donors Are Invited

Until, there is an actual need for exporting it, the blood so-gathered will be used here on emergency cases and in cases where transfusions are required for patients having no relatives or who have none available. To facilitate present plans, City Hospital officials have asked that persons wishing to donate blood to create the bank call City Hospital for arrangements. Their blood will be drawn at their convenience and by appointment. The new process consists of separating the blood into corpuscles and in to the clear fluid or plasma. This is done by centrifugal force, much in the manner that cream and milk are separated. Whereas whole blood is perishable

Typing Unnecessary

Moreover, the plasma can be transfused into anyone's veins, and does not have to be typed as does whole blood. In addition the plasma can be transported in specially | sealed containers and administered | anywhere. Whole blood is nontransportable in that sense. Plasma contains all the salts and nearly all the proteins of the blood and is invaluable for saving lives in cases of extreme loss of blood, severe burns, shock and some other conditions, More than 100,000 quarts of plasma | drawn and separated in this country jand Canada are being transported to England weekly as a military supply. : In no other war was blood transfusion so important a factor in saving the lives of the wounded, because of the many natural restrictions there were on the use of

Willkie's Sister To Retire Early

ST. CATHERINE, Ontario, Nov. . 5 (U. P.).—There’s at least one member of the Willkie family who will not stay up tonight to learn if Wendell L. Willkie is elected Presidentr of the United States. Miss Lulia Willkie, a sister of the Republican candidate, said she intends to retire and get’ her regular night’s sleep because “the early returns are not really indicative.” ° “Wen has made political history, win or lose,” she said of her brother. “He rose from the ranks of unknown men to become a candidate for the Presidency.”

SMEARING CITED IN FINAL DRIVE

Misrepresentation Claimed By F. D. R.; Willkie Gives Replies.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (U. P).—Charges . of “smearing” featured

the last hours of the political cam- |

paign. President Roosevelt issued a statement at Hyde Park, N. Y., last night charging that ‘‘circulars have been given to state and municipal employes, stating that a bill pending in Congress would deprive them of and endanger their pensions as state, municipal or county employes, or as school teachers.”

and deliberate misrepresentation,” that no Federal law would threaten public workers’ pensions. Wendell L. Willkie said in a radio speech last night that “the opposition . . has attacked me with a smear campaign designed to make you question my record and my motives. I have answered everything I thought worthy of an answer and I know you will pay no attention to these last minute attacks.” Among the complaints were: Republican headquarters here that an airplane was dropping handbills reading: “Jews, arise, vote for Roosevelt.” The Republicans sent up a private plane and Mayor F. H. La Guardia sent up a police plane but neither saw the pamphletsdropper. Edward J, Flynn, Democratic national chairman, charged that post cards were sent through the mails, purporting to come from gDorothy Thompson, , newspaper columnist who indorsed Mr. Roosevelt, saving that she had switched to Mr. Willkie. The Republican state committtee said numerous school children had been told that classes would
