Copies Of the sample ballot
were being distributed in the

Mrs. william H. Coulson, Mrs.
Rocco c. Siciliano. Mrs. Joseph

Tore Up Samples
As fast as this group handed
out the ballots at one end Of
the lobby. representatives of
the other faction tore up copies
they were able to obtain.
Their reason for tearing up
the sample ballots, one woman
said, was that the group dis
tributing them had been telling
people they were substitute
official ballots" which they
certainly were not"
The claims and counter
claims apparently confused a
good many voters. Thirty-six
Of the 424 ballots cast were
declared illegal by the tellers.

BY RUTH DEAN

An inference that the State
Department unduly considers
the oil interests of this coun-
try in forming policy in the
Middle East was made yester-
day by Representative James
Roosevelt, Democrat of Cali
foria. in a speech before the
Greater Washington Council
Of Pioneer Women.
Representative Roosevelt told
the annual donor luncheon of
the group: II hope the time
will come when we have q
Secretary Of State who will
think Of the welfare of all the
people Of the United States
and not just the pressure Of
any particular economic
group"
Applause drowned out the
latter part Of his statement
and when asked for clarifica-
ton after his speech. he offered
q further explanation that this
was IAN indirect reference to
the oil interests Of the United
States"
Cites Israel
Earlier in his off-the-cun
speech. the California legislator
declared: Regardless Of what
political party is In power, we
have a great and solemn duty
to see that whoever represents
the State Department must
understand the Importance to
the State Of Israel Of our Sc
curity and deep underlying de-
votion to democracy itself"
The luncheon, held in the
Mayfiower Hotel, especially
commemorated the 9th ami
versary of the founding of the
State Of Israel.
Representative r o osevelt
paid tribute to Israel as the
zone leading and outstanding
voice which in spite Of the
pressures made against her
has stood firm in her friend
ship to the United States and
refused to knuckle under to
the threats Of that great Com
munist nation to the north

new nations arising in Africa
and Asia. 1.-THE way these

serted.
