ponent, in his race for reelection to

The majority received by the Presi-
dent was slightly less than the 3,506

years ago.
Only the second, fourth and fifth
precincts of Bethesda district and the
seventh and ninth precincts in
Wheaton district fell into the Landon

Many Split Ticket.
Lewis won over LIE Gore in all but
the first, seventh and ninth precincts
in Wheaton, the fifth Bethesda pre-
cinct and the first precinct of Rock
vile district.

the first Rockville, first Wheaton and
fourth Bethesda precincts, LIE Gore
carrying the first two over Lewis, al
though Roosevelt received a majority
In those sectors in the presidential
race, while Lewis carried the fourth
Bethesda precinct, where Landon
polled q majority over the President.
A controversy over the manner in
which to compute the vote for the
electoral college held up the tabula-
tion in the third Bethesda precinct,
located at Glen Echo, for more than
two hours last night. but election
supervisors ironed out the difficulty
after the delay was reported to their
office In Rockville.
The proposed amendments would
relieve State bank stockholders of
double liability, permit the Governor
to appoint to vacancies in the State
Legislature instead of calling special
elections and create fourth place on
the bench of the sixth judicial cir
cult, composed of Montgomery and
Frederick Counties.
