Votes Now Follow
Circuitous Route

long, indirect but careful route be.
fore new President of thu
United States is officially elected.
The steps taken by the two
States to protect and authenticate
the votes are similar but in Vir-
ginia the procedure is bit more
involved.
AS soon as the polls closed last
night. the votes were tabulated
from the voting machines of Ar.
lington County. (The system
varies in other counties which dc
not have the machines.)
Party Members Watch.
Watching the precinct judges
and clerks are representatives
from the two parties casting the
largest votes in the last previous
presidential election. This in
variably means a Democrat and
Republican, though other parties
are invited to send watchers.
The judges then complete the
preparation of a poll book, con-
tanning the checked-off names o1
all who voted in the precinct. To-
day the books were taken to the
County Court clerks office by 9
runner"
Tomorrow the county vote will
be canvassed by Commissioners OF
Election to determine if there
were any irregularities in the vot.
ing. The Commissioners, usually
three Democrats and two Republi-
cans, are named by the County
Election Board, whose three men,
bers are appointed by the Circuit
Court.
Votes Certified to Board.
After the county canvass, the
votes are certified to the Virginia
State Election Board in Richmond,
which again canvasses it on the
State level.
The voting machines are locked
and kept intact for 80 days in case
Of a challenge.
Maryland System Similar.
In Maryland. the initial precinct
tallying is done in the same man
ner and the results are sent to
the Board of Election Supervisors
in each county. The supervisors
are appointed by the Governor.
Following the canvass of votes
at this level. the results are certi-
fled to the Secretary of State who
in turn passes it on to the State
Board of Canvassers, composed of
the controller. Secretary of State
and Attorney General.
After they complete State
wide canvass, the Secretary of
State. acting as secretary of
the Canvassing Board, is ready
to certify the electors. Voting
machines and ballot boxes also
are kept locked in this State.
The final step comes when elec-
tors in all the States meet to cast
their votes for President and Vice
President, the sealed ballots then
going to Congress for official
counting and confirmation.

the related problems of price and

Help Against Closing
OF Churches by Italy

OfficialS of a Protestant denom-
nation, many of whose churches
have been closed in Italy, ap-
pealed today to the State Depart
ment to intercede on their behalf
with the Italian government.
Top officials of the Assemblies
of God conferred today with
Homer Byington, jr., director of
Western European affairs at the
State Department. ,.,
Those present were the Rev.
Gayle F. Lewis. general superin-
tendent of the General Council,

lea; the Rev. James Hamill of
Memphis, Tenn, and the Rev.
Douglas Scott of Washington.
Point to "a Closings.
The group pointed out that 81
Assemblies OF God churches in
Italy have been closed.
Mr.. Perkin said Others have
been closed, appeals made to local
authorities, and then reopened.
Chief difficulty has been cen
tered around authorization of the
churches to operate. The denomi-
nation in Italy has been applying
to the italian government for four
years for official recognition as a
religious denomination, but their
appeals have been ignored, Mr..
Perkin explained.
The group finally has brought
the issue to the law, and hearing
is to be held in November before
the italian Supreme Court.

Eisenhower ought to ask Senator
Nixon to withdraw as vice presi-
Dental nominee.
Mr.. Wheeler said the subject of
Senator Nixon came up in the con-
versation with President Truman,
but that the President expressed
no opinion.
Can't Be Forced Out.
AS for action by Senator Nixon
concerning the G. o. P. ticket, a
National Committee
official said there was no legal way
that Senator Nixon could be forced
to quit as nominee. He added
that it was high unlikely that the
Senator would refuse if Gen.
Eisenhower asked him to with
draw.
1T would have to be handled
by diplomacy" the official re-
marked. Nixon was the legal
nominee when the convention
named him and there is no party
rule on removing a party nom

that"
Even before 1851, however, Mr..
Caudle said he had reports that
he was in danger of losing his job.
In July, 1850. he said, Bert
Master, a Florida manufacturer
and convicted tax evader, told him
of one rumor and suggested he
talk with Henry w. (the Dutch
mani Grunewald, describing him
as being "close to the top" Mr..
Caudle said he refused.
Before taking a trip to Europe
in July, 1850, Mr.. Caudle said, he
asked a friend to contact Donald
Dawson. an aide to President
Truman. about the rumors. He
said Mr.. Dawson told his friend
that there was no danger of me
losing my job and to pay no at
tention to the rumors."

MIR. Caudle also told of buying
and later being thanked for. a
cigarette case as a gift for Presi-
dent Truman during his European
voyage.
II didn't know If the President

said in describing the purchase.
But anyway it would show we
were thinking of him."
The witness also said that less
than a month before his dismissal,
one Of President Humans secre-
taries requested the return of a
friendly note Mr.. Truman had
written Mr.. Caudle.
That note came after Mr.. Caudle
had written the President, thank
ing him for an autographed pic
ture and saying he was very happy
to have the President Hanging
around in my Office"
Received Reply From President.
In response, he. said, Mr.. Tru-
man wrote that he was glad Mr..
Caudle would not be embarrassed
by his hanging around in your
Office"
But Mr.. Humans secretary, he
said. destroyed that letter and sent
another which referred to the

MIR. Caudle said he also received
a letter from Mr.. Truman, dated
October 20. 1851, addressed to

for the gift of the cigarette case.

local authorities go back to a

ing churches to register before
they can function. They use this
law to justify the right to wor-
ship in a church."
Reds Exploit Situation.
Mr.. Hamill said the Communists
are using the situation to their
advantage. Their voices are loud
est in protest against closing of
these churches, and they have ex-
plotted the situation for their own
ends, he noted.
The State Department was ap-
pealed to by the group Ito relieve
our brethren in Italy of this I'M
fair treatment"
our American Assemblies of
God feel these Italian believers be-
long to us, and we have invested
thousands of dollars in Italy in
providing church buildings for the
churches there" Mr.. Lewis said.

by and let these things go on"

Disability Payments
10 Senator Jenner
Being Studied by U. 5

The Controller General is
studying Federal payment OF
disability retirement compensation
to Senator Jenner. Republican, OF
Indiana. The Air Force said the
matter was referred at the re-
quest of Controller General War
rem.
The investigation, the Associ-
ated Press reported, has been
urged by Paul Butler, Democratic
national committeeman from In
diana, where Senator Jenner is
running for reelection.
Senator Jenner was an Army
Air Force officer during World
War II and retired for disability
in October, 1914. He was granted
$3.50 a month originally and the
account was transferred to the
Air Force last July. At that time
it was increased in accordance
with the new pay scale for the
services.
The Air Force said it also will
make its own study of the matter
and that the Army and Veterans
Administration will assist.
Senator Jenner, the Associated
Press reported, said at Dale, Ind,
last night that he knows Of no
law that would prohibit benefits
to him. He said his eye trouble
has flared up twice since he was
retired. ,
A section Of the United States
Code prohibits two salaries, ex-
ceeding $4,000 in all, to retired
service personnel holding either
elective or appointive Offices. In
that event, they may elect to take
either the civilian or retired pay.
However, it exempts from this
provision officers retired for dis
ability incurred in combat with
an enemy or for disabilities re-
sulting from an explosion of an
