Will Be First Time That
Such A Request Has
Been Made In Dela-
ware; Is Done In Many
States.


Each Delawarean viii be asked
to state his or her party preference
in registering to vote this year.
It will be the first time in history
that such a request has been made
in Delaware, although it is no now
city in other states, political OBJ
servers said this week.
There is no requirement under
the new election laws. however,
that you state your political affilia-
ton You may decline, but II you
do you may not vote in any prl-
mary election of any party. And #
you do state a party preference
you may vote only in the primary
election of that party.
The party affiliation business IS
one of several new features OF
the states new registration and
election procedures, enacted by the
current General Assembly, and to
be put into effect this year.
Under the new law, you may ap-
! ply for. permanent registration on
amy Of six registration days this
year before the election. When you
do, you will have to supply infor-
mation for an application for reg
listratiOn. IN one space on the APP
plication, either the party afalia-
ton must be entered, or the word
declines"
in. some states if you do not wish
/ TO state a party affiliatiOn or Ii you
consider yourself an independent
voter, you answer independent
when your party adiliati0n Is asked
for registration. Ir Delaware its q
little different-if you are in those
circumstances, you just decline.
i People who think the new sys-
TEN is a good one on that point
contend that the statement Of party
) affiliation is essential to prevent
!; members Of one party from raidinf
l lthe primary elections of another
/ Dartv. After all, they argue. tn
primaries are held to permit mem
I bers of a political party to nomin
s ate candidates for public omice-ll
! Delaware, for. county offices, stat
: representative and state senator.
2 This is exclusively the business
J Of the party members only, ans
: the nomination process is hamperet
if members Of the other party are
permitted to mix into the affair
they contend. They add that there
have been cases in Delaware Of
voters Of one party trying to inhu-
ence the nomination Of candidates
by the other party through taking
, mart in primary election fight
These are Of course unusual cases
in Delaware, under the previous

Students Are
Urged To Join
National Guard
Can Avoid The Draft And
AT The Same Time Still
BE Patriotic Through
Army Reserve Service.

Delaware high school studeats
the ages of IL and 185k
can beat the draft and still be pa
triotic if they volunteer to serve
with any one Of the 35 Army Re

This has been the startling theme
Of information talks given to over
1900 students in 25 Delaware high
schools since the Reserve Forces
Act was signed last August.
Additionally, the Delaware Mill
tary District Headquarters, sponsor
of this campaign Of military en-
has extended its pub
lie information program to include
the press, radio and television, and
parent, teacher, veteran and civic
organizations throughout the state.
According to Colonel Francis H.
Barnes, District Chief, whose office
is in the Dravo Building, Whining
ton, the explanation Of the new Re-
serve Forces Act boils down to
this:
One, under its provisions, every
American male under 26 years Of
age, whether drafted, enlisted or
commissioned, acquires a. Reserve
obligation to serve two years on ac-
tive duty. Completing this, he will
return to a hometown Ready Re
serve unit to serve for three years
after which he becomes eligible for
transfer to the Standby, Reserve

that Reservists viii train for As
