New Lights For
Urbana Monument

URBANA--Four new lights are
being installed on Monument
Square in Urbana as part of a city
project to explore the possibilities
of improving the street lighting.
The project is a long-range one
which would cover several years
and samples are being tried of flu
crescent lights and sodium vapor
lamps. The lights are of the same
lumen as the present incandescent
lamps but give a different lighting
effect.

Vets Questions
And The Answers

Q-May / get a CT business
loan to buy an automobile l need
it to get to and from my place of
business.
"A CT business loan for this
purpose would be prohibited by
law. Veterans may obtain CT loans
for automobiles only if they are
essential in carrying on their bus
mess.
Q-I forgot to pay my CT insur-
ance premium last month, and
my policy lapsed. How may l get
it back? I have a term policy.
A-You may reinstate your CT
policy by paying two monthly
premiums, one for the 31-day
grace period during which you
were covered and the other for the
current month. If you reinstate
within three months of the date Of
lapse, you need merely submit a
statement that you are in as good
health as you were when the pol
icy lapsed Otherwise, you will be
required to take a physical exani-
nation. Also, the policy must be
reinstated before its term expires.
Q-I want to train under the
Korean Gil Bill, but / am not sure
what course l would like to take.
How do | go about applying for
VA vocational counseling?
A-On the application form for
Korean CT training, you will find
a section that asks whether you
want vocational counseling. Simply
check that section. VA then will
schedule you for vocational coun-
selling.
Q-I hold Korean CT term in
surance. Will / get a yearly divi-
dend, the same as my brother who
is a World War II veteran and
holds a World War II CT policy :?
A-No Under the law, your Ko-
rean CT term insurance is nonpar-
ticipating. 1t does not pay divi-
dends. However, premiums on this
type of insurance generally are
lower than World War II CT
premiums.

Legion voted today to continue

The Post Commander. c. M.

the legion-backed state is "un-

growing up to be governor of
Virginia.
Floor Fight Averted
A possible floor fight was
averted when the convention

called q meeting and overwhel-

was quietly Endorsed by the

last year, spent about six
months compiling the book.
The project, financed with
funds left over from the Foley
campaign, covers detailed pre-
einct figures on the 1856 cam
-paign in the county and dis
trict, district elections from
1892 to 1856, Maryland cleo
tons since 1900 voter turnout
statistics and other data.
In his preface. Mr.. Payne as
serts that analysis has been
purposely avoided.
Own Interpretation
THE audience for whom this
work is primarily intended will
clearly prefer its own babel
Of interpretations" he added.
Mr.. Payne had his own ideas
of the acceptance of the study.
Since election results-even
more than most statistics-can
fortunately be used to support
q variety Of prejudices or in
fate the prospects Of the most
unlikely candidate. the data
here presented should find
wide and ready acceptance"
ne said.
Among the more obvious
facts in the book, almost GER
tain to become a Bible for po-
litical workers, is that for the
first time last year Montgom-
cry County had so per cent
Of the total registration in the
Sixth district.
Just eight years earlier.
Montgomery accounted for only
1927 per cent Of the registrs-
ton.
G. o. p. Gains
The trend. the report indi-
Gates, is favoring the Republic
cans who are gaining ground
in Montgomery. The Demo-
cratic registration in 1948 &C
counted for $50 per cent of
voters in Montgomery but this
percentage had dropped to $50
In 1856.
= The data for 1856 showed
that the Democrats TOP three
candidates in 1856 were strong
est in Vindex. a precinct in
predomintly Republican Gar
rett County. A depressed
mining area. the voters gave
Gov. Stevenson 65.8 per cent
of their vote, and Mr.. Foley
and Senatorial Candidate
George P. Mahoney. 80 per
cent.
The statistics point up the
individuality of Maryland voters
who until 1882 stayed out Of
line with the rest of the coun-
try most Of the time. Since
then the State has fitted into
the national pattern a little
more frequently.
Voting Behavior
Mr.. Payne also studied Dem
ocratic voting behavior. He
found that in only six Of 81
Montgomery precincts which
have Democratic majorities, did
80 per cent Of the Democrats
vote for even one Democratic
candidate.
During the last three cleo
tions, he said. only AZ precincts
have carried one or more major
Democratic candidates. One
Interpretation he puts on these
figures is that only about 70
per cent Of the registered DEM
ocrats in the county are voting
Democratic.
This has caused Mr.. Payne

ANNOUNCED the successful test

ing0
Re-entry of q ballistic missile
is a slightly different thing
than that of a satellite. The
missile travels several hundred
miles slower than the satellite.
But a rocket detonated in the
direction opposite to that in
which the satellite is headed
could slow it down so it would
fall back to earth in roughly
the same way a missile de-
sends. Or a smaller vehicle at
tached to the satellite could be
freed by rocket. Either way,
parachutes could slow earth
bound man so that his descent
would be safe.
Although there is much con-
Germ over what lies ahead, the
impact of Sputnik II itself has
by no means been dissipated at
the Pentagon. One official had
this frank comment:
I'VE of the scientific COM
munity knew that 1t could be
done. and, therefore. should not
have been a surprise. Still,
when the Russians went ahead
and actually did what on paper
could be done, many of us were
really impressed"
This observation apparently
reflects private feelings of a
substantial portion of Defense
Department officialdom.
