The “write-in” -confest attracted considerable attention, however, as the state's attorney general permitted voters to scribble nicknames on the preferential ballots, such as “Bob,” “Ike” and “Mae.” In another unusual move, the state permitted establishments selling alcoholic beverages to remain open during the voting hours, determined by local option but in most places 6 a. m. to 8 p. m. Democrats voted for 72 delegates—168 at-large and 56 by districts. Each will have one-half vote at the convention. Démocratic Gov.

Mr. Knoff said thére are now about 3000 communities in which

He sald the council will urge all participants to “make sure that their programs are so constructed as to be in accordance with both the spirit and letter” of the court decision. Msgr, John 8. Middleton, secretary for education of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, sald the court ruling was a “new vindication” of parents’ rights to direct the education of their children. Eugene Butler, attorney for the National Catholic Welfare Conference, said of the opinion: “We are gratified to find in the majority opinion so strong an emphasis upon the place and isignificance of “religion: in-Ameri-can life.” Dr. J.

It is prepared to tell the Senate it will have to open the throttle on the defense effort. If funds requested for the next fiscal year are approved by Con. gress, the military will have more than $100 billion in unspent money.

Discounting the 63,000 pupils now in public schools and about 14,000 in private and parochial schools, the figures indicate about 38,000 will soon be ready for admission. Even if one-third of those pupils are enrolled in non-public schools, some 26,000 will be headed for the public buildings.
