3 Stales Ratify Proposal To Give
Cist, of Columbia Electoral Vole
TRENTON, N. J. (fl) — New
Jersey has become the third state
in the country to ratify a proposed
amendment to the U. S. Constitu
tion giving residents of Washing
ton, D. C., the right to vote in
presidential elections.
The state senate passed the
amendment 20-0 Monday. It does
not require the governor’s sig
nature.
The amendment would give the
District of Columbia three votes
in the Electoral College. Hawaii
and Massachusetts approved the
amendment before New Jersey.
Ratification by 35 more states is
required.
Ray Arnold, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wilbur Arnold returned this
morning from Anchorage where
he is a freshman student at the
Alaska Methodist University.
INFLATION MAKES TEXAS'
THEFT LAW UNFAIR
DALLAS, Tex. UP) — A three
time ex-convict told arresting of
ficers last night that inflation has
made Texas’ theft law unfair.
Police captured the man at
Sears, Roebuck Co. and told him
he would be charged with theft
over $50.
“With inflation that way it is,”
the man complained, “they ought
to change that law and make it
higher. It just isn’t fair.”
Theft over $50 is a felony, theft
under $50 a misdemeanor.

IT’S OFFICIAL NOW,
JOHN F. KENNEDY
ELECTED PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON UP) — It’s of
ficial now. John F. Kennedy has
been elected President.
The voting on Nov. 8 helped de
termine the outcome, but Ken
nedy was not elected then ac
cording to the Constitution. That
was done Monday by the 537
members of the Electoral College.
These largely unkown men,
who don’t even appear on the
ballot in many states, met in
state capitals from Maine to
Hawaii. As expected they gen
erally cast their state’s electoral
votes for the man who had won
a plurality of the vote in the
state.
After the electors completed
their ancient ritual, Kennedy had
300 electoral votes and Vice
President Richard M. Nixon 219.
Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D-Va., got
15. Needed to win: 269.
Hawaii’s three votes were still
up in the air because a partial
recount there has switched the
state back to the Kennedy column
by 83 votes. A full recount has
been ordered in the island state.
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic electors in Hawaii cast
their three votes, hoping it can
be decided by Jan. 6 which candi
date had won the state. That is
the date when Congress in joint
session will officially count the
electoral votes.
Since the Hawaiian votes can’t
affect the result, it is possible
Congress will simply disregard
them.

BURIED BEER MAY LOSE
ITS TASTE AND APPEAL
ORLANDO, Fla. UR — Six
hundred cases of beer buried at
the Orlando city dump may lose
some of its appeal when would
be diggers find out the beer cans
are rusted from hurricane damage
and anyone who drinks it might
get diarrhea.
The distributor, Monday said
the beer was discarded for those
reasons and it was buried at least
six feet deep at the dump. Some
one must have seen the burial be
cause the word got around and
dozens of persons were digging
Sunday until the gate to the dump
was padlocked.
