Your
Election
LOWS . . .
- By Ted w. Brown -
Secretary o! stots OF Ohio

The precinct officials who
work at the polls on election day
are appointed by the Board of
Elections in each county for a
one-year term commencing in
September. Six officials are ap-
pointed for each election precinct
- four are designated as judges,
and two as clerks. Not more
than two judges and one clerk
may be members of the same
political party. The Board may
appoint additional officia a S
equally divided between the two
major political parties when
necessary to expedite the voting
on election day.
All judges and clerks must be
qualified electors and must be
able to read and write the Eng
'lish language readily. No person
who has been convicted of a
felony or any violation of the
election laws, or who is a Candi-
date for an office to be voted
for by the voters Of the precinct
in which he is to serve, shall
serve as an election officer.
Precinct officials are paid for
their services on election day
from county funds when they
serve at d primary or general
election in an even-numbered
year. Their salaries are charged
back to the subdivisions in which
they serve at primary and gen
eral elections in odd-numbered
years. The compensation paid
precinct officials Who serve at
special elections is charged back
to the subdivisions.
The Boards of Elections in
most counties conduct schools of
instructions so that precinct Of
ficials who serve on election day
are familiar with the rules and
regulations concerning voting.
Other counties use written ma
terial to instruct their election
officials. If you meet the quail
fications set forth for precinct
officials and wish to offer your
services on election day as pre-
cinct officials, the precinct COM
mitteeman of your party or your
Board of Elections can give you
further information.

ervision, to insure that your
right is kept free and pure. 1t is
your duty, too, to use every
available means placed in your
hands by the legislature to keep
your vote free, true, and secret.

Gray Urges Alb
10 Back Law for
Fiscal Balance

RICHMOND, Va. May 81 up.
"A White House aide suggested
yesterday that the American In
|stitute Of Banking sponsor legis-
llation ITO combat the fiscal
unbalance Of our Government"
Robert K. Gray. special White
House assistant, said Congress
is playing politics with the pub
lie purse. But 1t is you and !
and our fellow citizens who sing
the song of cut the budget but
cut it where 1t won't hurt us who
are responsible for the perpetual
ton of nonessential programs
and the elimination Of essential
ones"
Mr.. Gray defended the $71.8
billion budget of President Eisen-
hover before the Abs national
convention and listed no items
in the budget which he consid-
cred nonessential.
He told the gathering Of some
1900 delegates and about 800
guests that his defense of the
Eisenhower budget came at
"a time when administration
spokesman ARE tempted to take
advantage of every opportunity
to disseminate a few facts about
this important document"
Military preparedness costs
much. he said, but it has pre-
vented American fighting men
from losing their lives.
Defends Foreign Aid
He defended foreign aid as
self-aid and blamed the lack
of support by pressure groups
for the United States Informa-
ton Agency appropriation being
"slashed mercilessly on the floor
of the Senate"
Mr.. Gray said the Eisenhower
budget is less than former Pres.
ident Truman's 1852 budget and
praised Mr.. Eisenhower for his
record in the field of fiscal IN
tegrity."
In another talk during the
opening day Of the 55th annual
convention. Sam Britt, vice pres
ident of the First National Bank
of Memphis. said the days when
most banks pay low salaries are
past. But he warned that banks
regulations for salaries aren't
good and the problem isn't solved.
He urged banks to take note of
women employees abilities and
urged employees to accept respon-
lsibility.
Sam Fleming. president Of the
Third National Bank Of Nash
vile, noted that installment con-
sumer credit exceeds $40 billion,
or ii per cent Of dispoSable in
come. Banks. he said, have
found it an important producer
Of income that is fast becoming
a more practical medium for the
investment Of high-cost savings
funds than the traditional mort
gage field"
