Urges Voters To
Visit Polls Nov. 6

Secretary of State Ted w.
Brown today urged all qualified
voters of Ohio to go to the polls
for the General Election, Tues
day, November 6.
The polls will open at $50 am.
and close at $50 pm, he stated
All candidates and issues being
voted upon are local, with the
exception of proposed statewide
constitutional amendment. Secre-
tary Brown has instructed cleo
ton boards to count the consti-
tutional amendment ballot first,
reporting to his office where the
tabulation will take place Tues
day night.
This is the so-called 'off-year
election but I urge all voters to
participate, Mr.. Brown stated to-
day. AT this election municipal
and township officials, school
boards and local questions and
issues will be voted upon
Continuing. Mr.. Brown stated
we may talk all we please about
the American way of life. but un-
less we realize that it stems
from the very grass roots, where
voting for local officials and 10
cal issues is quite essential, we
endanger our right TO preserve
such a system and the freedom
which our secret ballot guaran-.
tees.

And it seems like a good time
for the lovelorn lasses to get wise
and organize-to create a solid
voting bloc and tell each political
party:
Never mind all that usual
fol-de-rol about equal rights for
the weaker sex. How about put
ting a plank in your platform
pledging government dowries for
doughless danes ?"
There are millions of husband
seeking ladies in America Of vot-
ing age. And it will take a nigh
ty high-principled advocate of
economy in government to stand
up against them if they make a
feminine pass en- masse for /;

ballot, the rotation by five puts
the name of one man at the top
three times and the other only
twice. Print 100000 ballots and
one candidate has his name on
top 100000 more times than his
opponent.
A Harrison County village ran
into a tough and costly problem.
The village needs only 300 ballots
for the election. 1t has two as
pirants for mayor, IL for council
and five for a public affairs
board. The common denominator
of 2, IL and 5 is 10. That means
the village would require 10 diff
ferent name combinations for per-
feet rotation in printing $50 bal
lots.
The job would require printers
to stop their press 110 times for
name changes after every three
ballots. Then the ballots would
have to go into 10 piles of three
each and be assembled into three
pads. Each pad would have to
contain 40 different ballots in
the same sequence.
Cuyahoga County has tough
er problem. Perfect rotation there
would require at lest 206 different
ballots. Ard the ballots would
have to be bound in pads with
each containing 2o6 different bal

Around the church there grew
up a closely woven scheme of
other magnificent buildings-the
papa1 palaces. Among the build
ings are famous gardens, where
the Popes exercise.
That is Vatican City. Rome, the
capital of Italy, is all around it.
Almost everything in the city is
hundreds of years old and of
great beauty. That is why diplo-
mats to the Vatican from 36
nations at present. cannot live in
the country to which they are
accredited. 1t is too crowded with
splendors. The diplomats have
their embassies in Rome. Their
countries maintain separate en-
bassies in Rome to the Italian
government. And Italy-right in

WASHINGTON-4PD-If Gen.
Mark Clark becomes the ambas-
sador of the United States to the
Vatican he will be ambassador
to one of the youngest states in
the world.
The state of the Vatican City
as il is officially known, dates
only from 1929. But its monarch
is the Pope of Rome-at present
Pope Plus xII-and the papacy
is one of the Oldest sovereignties
in the world. The present city
state was established a temp
oral kingdom of the Pope-by
agreement in 1929 with Benito
Mussolini, then dictator of Italy.
Also, General Clark, if he be-
comes ambassador to the Roman
Catholic church state, will be
diplomat at the only country in
the world that hasn't even enough
room to house its official guests.
Yet he will be a representative
to world power.
Those are a few of the contra
dictions that make the question of
diplomacy with the Vatican con-
fusing, apart from purely relig-
ious considerations.
President Truman has asked
the Senate to approve sending
Clark to the Vatican as ambas-
sador The Senate has to give its
consent to presidential nomina-
tons for ambassadorship. Clark
would be the first full U. S. AM
bassador to the papal court
So the decision involves some
thing new in U. S. diplomacy,
Leaving aside the religious dis
pute, it is an interesting decision
because of the unique character
of the state to which Clark would
be accredited.
THE general, if he becomes am
bassador, will have no surprises
in store for him. As the World
War Two conquerer of Rome, he
is familiar with the Vatican set
up, and is a personal friend of
Pope Plus XII, although Clark
is an Episcopalian)
The Vatican City state consists
of but 1887 acres. It's population
is only a little over 1000 people
But because the Pope is the
supreme religious authority to
the worlds Roman Catholics, he
has powerful voice around the
world-inside and outside the
iron curtain--in public opinion
So an ambassador to the Vati-
can 's envoy to one of the worlds
great powers. And he is in the
thick of one of the worlds great
conflicts.
According to tradition, the Vati-
can got its start as seat of the
Roman Catholic faith in the mar
tyrdom of st. Peter on the low
Hill across the Tiber River from
Rome in AID. 67. Tradition says
St. Peter was buried there, and
a shrine grew up about his tomb.
Tn time, this became the chruch
of st. Peter. In the middle ages
the old, crumbling shrine was
pulled down, and the present vast
basilica started. 1t was designed.
built and decorated by the great
est artists Of the Italian Renais-
sance.

Election Boards Reprinting
Thousands OF Nov. 6 Ballots

COLUMBUS, o. Jap County
election boards are reprinting
thousands of ballots for the Nov.
6 election because the Legislature
and the Ohio Supreme Court
don't see eye to eye.
Secretary of Sea.te Ted w.
Brown, Ohio's chief election Off
Ger, doesn't know yet how high
the additional cost will run. But
he is sure that smaller counties
have the biggest headaches.
Their printing facilities are less
adequate than those of metro
politan counties. And the use of
fewer ballots pushes the unit cost
higher. Some counties frankly
say they lack money for reprints
And Cuyahoga County, the states
most populous, says it is physic-
ally impossible to reprint its
stacks of ballots IN time.
Brown has advised counties that
can't make the deadline to use
ballots already prepared and OBJ
tain affidavits from printers that
they could not do the work.
The trouble stems from a SUI
preme court decision barely three
weeks before the election. 1t
affirmed an appellate court action
requiring Summit County's cleo
ton board to rotate fully the bal
lot names of all candidates for
the various offices.
The courts based their decisions
on requirement in the state
constitution That threw the sec
retary of State off stride.
Backed by an opinion from
Atty. Gen. c. William O'Neill,
Brown had told boards to rotate
names as often as the largest
number of candidates for an office
on their ballots. They based
their stand on law passed by
the legislature after voters in
1949 approved use of the office
ballot in Ohio
That law applied the same pro-
visions to the office-type ballot as
already existed for rotation of
names on non-partisan ballots.
But Prosecutor Alva j. Russell of
Summit County said that would
put the name Of one of the two
candidates for Akron mayor atop
5000 more ballots than the other.
Politicians are touchy about
that. Generally they feel that
many voters mark the name at
the top simply because of posi-
ton. Hence perfect rotation is a
subject close to their hearts.
Perfect rotation works out next
month in several counties because
the number of candidates happens
to fall that way. They include
Franklin, Darke, Hancock, Cler-
mont, Muskingum and Henry.
Charters of several big cities
relieve them of the problem and
make things easier for their coun-
ty election boards. Cincinnati, for
example, uses the proportional
representation system of voting.
Places using voting machines
accomplish rotation by changing
the lineup of candidates in the
various precincts.
Medina County reported that
it needs to reprint only six diff
ferent ballots. The extra cost runs
around 5000. The additional cost
in summit county may hit $500
But some estimates elsewhere run
into the thousands.
Here's why candidates object to
rotation of names according to
the most populous race on ballots.
If the most candidates In any race
is five. the names would rotate
five times on the entire ballot.
Thus for a tw0-man race on the
