Record Tuesday Vote Is Likely WASHINGTON UPI — Tuesday’s election could bring 72 million voters to the polls if Americans show as much interest in the presidential race as they did in 1960. The 1964 vote probably will set a new record, just as did the turnouts of 68.8 million in 1960 and 62 million in 1956. The 72 million guess is based on an assumption that the same 63.1 per cent of the voting age population that cast ballots four years ago will do so again. However, there is one factor that could cut the voting percentage. Tlie 1960 record, a newhigh in both total vote and per cent of voting age population casting ballots, may have resulted partially from the fact that neither candidate was the incumbent president. In 1956 and in 1948. when incumbent presidents were seeking re-election, the voting percentage was lower than in 1952 and 1960 when the incumbent was not running. This indicates there is more voter interest when two new men are trying to get in. The 72 million estimate has been used by officials of the Democratic National Committee. but no guesses of the turnout have been forthcoming from the Republicans. Exact figures are not available on how many of the estimated 113.9 million persons of voting age actually are eligible to vote. But a check of the 50 states and the District of Columbia places the potentia national vote at about 80.4 mil-

lion.

This figure is derived from actual and estimated registration figures in 28 states totaling. 56.9 million and estimates of the voter turnout from election officials elsewhere totaling 23.5 million.

Christian Science Is Lecture Topic Divine help and healing depend upon spiritual discernment of the fundamental facts of Gcd and His creation, Otto G.

WASHINGTON UPI—President Johnson and Sen. Barry M. Goldvvater kept reaching for votes today although pre-elec-tion surveys almost unanimously indicated a Johnson landslide. Goldvvater and Republican national headquarters disputed the conclusions in those surveys and insisted that the GOP nominee could win Tuesday's presidential election at least by a narrow margin. When the two candidates finish their election eve forays tonight. they will be in their home states to await the verdict of 70 million voters who will elect a president, a new Congress and thousands of state and local officials. Johnson was flying today from Washington to his home state of Texas for speeches in the Houston area and at Austin before a final television appearance at 10 p.m. EST, on the NBC network. Goldvvater was flying from his home town of Phoenix, Ariz., for a mid-day appearance in the San F'rancisco business district and then back to Arizona. He has a network television appearance on CBS at 9:30 p.m., EST. The GOP candidate and former Vice President Richard M. Nixon found a new campaign issue Sunday night in the surprise Communist attack that destroyed U. S. bombers at an air base in South Viet Nam. Goldvvater suggested that the Viet Cong attack might have been made because the Conunu* nist fear his election and want to keep Johnson in the White House. Nixon compared the Red attack to Pearl Harbor. He charged that the Pentagon had been warned two days before the assault that the bases were exposed to attack. In virtually all polls and other surveys, Johnson has been the mdictated winner over Goldwater. A notable exception was one assembled by Republican national headquarters and said to be based on a canvass of hundreds of thousands of vot-

ers.

Seek Cause Of Crash That Killed Spaceman

HOUSTON UPI—A space center investigative team worked today to discover what caused the airplane crash Saturday that killed U. S. astronaut Theodore C. Freeman, a quiet man who dreamed of going to the moon. The 34-year-old pilots T38 twin-jet trainer crashed into an oil field, two miles short of a safe runway. An autopsy Sunday showed Freeman died of a skull fracture and severe chest injuriet. The slender astronaut's body was found about 100 yards from the wreckage.

Astronaut Donald K. (Deke > Slayton set up the investigative board, which is headed by Jo-

seph Algrantu the chief pilot of the federal space agency's Manned Spacecraft Center.
