HOW MISS BOYD
GOT THE WRONG TIP

A misintCrp:etation of the statutory
provisions for the delivery of the ma
tons electoral vote to the president
of the senate was responsible for Miss
Dele Boyd who was designated
as Nevada's official messenger. aban-
doning the trip to Washington, Miss
Boyd stated Monday.
The law, she said according to her
counselor, is ambiguous, and it was
not until she received telegram from
President Marshall informing her that
her trip to Washington at this late day
would be useless. was she apprised
definitely that the time for her de-
parturc matured after the middle OF
January The vice-prcsident inciden-
tally mentioned the fact that failure to
comply with the provisions of the act
called for $1,000 penalty, but Miss
Boyd is not alarmed The vicc-presi-
dent assured her that the PENALTY
would not be inflicted.
Nevada's three electoral votes were
among those from five states which
failed to arrive by messenger before
the expiration di the time as prescribed
by law. This was January "a The
senate and house of representatives
