Primary Puzzle
 Worries Officials
The Tucson Citizen saye:

The Tucson Citizen ssye:
 The puzzle for Recorder Howell is just bow many days after the primary election must elspse before he re- opens the registration bookef
 The state law resds that the books be closed IT days. % many days be- fore the election and SO many days sfter election.
 The statute declares that all regis trstion books io the several cou Q ties of the state must be closed ., 5 p. m. ten days before she election and open "the siIth day" after the election. If the hooks are closed ten days before the election that will be August 31 as the primary comes September 10. And if they are opened the sixth day after the cleo, ,ion," as the law de. msnds, then the books will have been closed l6 days. Ye, the statute starts out by saying the books must be closed l7 dave; then specifies the dates which seemingly allow only l6 days. co interprets the recorder.
 An answer is expected from the ats torney general which will guide Re- corder Howell as to his duty in the seeming conflicting situs.ion.
