A similar protest by one Utah

II States Are Listed
The States which still have
absentee ballots to count are
California. Missouri. Florida.
Washington, Kansas. Mary
land. Nebraska, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania. Rhode Island
and Alaska.
OF these, six are now in the
Nixon column and five are
States in which Senator Ken
nedy is leading.
Indications are that in only
four Of them. with a total of
"a electoral votes, is there any
prospect of the outcome being
changed. and one of these is
California-which has not fig
ured in the Kennedy victory
claim.
The other three are Mis-
souri,, which gave Senator Ken
nedy 13, and Florida and
Washington. which gave Mr..
Nixon 10.
1t seems apparent. therefore,
that the absentee ballots are
not likely to change the result,
What the Republicans will turn
up in their search for irregu-
larities remains to be seen.

When President-elect John

That's because Mr.. Hatcher

Utah ElectOr Balks
A lone elector in Utah added
to the confusion by announc-
ing that he may refuse to vote
for Vice President Nixon, who
carried the State. He said he
has no objection to Mr.. Nixon,
but wants. to emphasize his
opposition to the present cleo
toral college system.
The elector, James A. Peter
son, also said he would "like to
see a revolt of unpledged

to withhold their votes, and
maybe throw the whole question
of picking the President into
the House."
There are IA unpledged elec-
tors in Mississippi and Ala

how they will vote when the
electors meet in each State on
December 10 to make the cleo

leaders by voting for Senator

Mr.. Kennedy said: Continuity
of stability Of this particular
post is imperative"
He said the non-partisan ma
ture Of Mr.. Hoover's POST as
FBI director "is well estab-
lished."
The President-elect recalled
that Mr.. Dulles has served
every President since Woodrow
Wilson "in a variety of capac-
tiles" and said Mr.. Hoover's
tenure in Federal service is
almost as long.
Mr.. Kennedy told q ques-
toner he has not considered
the possibility Of attending the
North Atlantic Treaty Organ
ization council session sched-
uled for mid December in Paris.
Election Machinery
He said his administration
will consider possible revision
of the country's present election
machinery so that the electoral
college vote might more closely
reflect the popular vote. He
stressed. however, that he was
not suggesting "any major
overhaul" and is not sure that
suggested alternatives would be
preferable to the present elec-
toral system.
The President-elect ducked a
question about whether he
planned to give a major role in
his administration to Adlai
Stevenson. who was defeated by
President Eisenhower in the
1852 and 1856 elections, and
who has been mentioned as q
possible Secretary of State in
the Kennedy administration.
Mr.. Kennedy said he would

couple of weeks the whole ques-
ton of roles and appointments
Uncertain on Successor
He said he expects to resign
his Senate seat some time in
December. Asked if he would
recommend a successor, he

Catholic Paper
Cites Absence Of
Pulpit in Politics

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. II
(AP). - A Roman Catholic
newspaper said today partisan
politics was notably absent
from Catholic pupils during
the just-concluded presidential
campaign but this was not the
case among our Protestant
brethren"
Most of us had hoped that
in the 80 years since 1928
Americans had grown up," said
the Catholic Standard and
Times. weekly publication of
the Philadelphia archdiocese.
There were indications Of prog
ress, but they were too little
and too late to prevent the in
lection Of anti-Catholic pref
udice on many fronts"
Alfred E. Smith. the Demo-
cratic nominee, lost to Herbert
Hoover in 1928. His defate was
attributed in large measure to
his Catholic faith. Senator
John F. Kennedy. the Demo-
cratic President-elect, is O
Catholic.
This paper took no sides be-
fore or during. the campaign, -
said the Standard and Times in
an editorial. mot q single
Catholic newspaper in the
country took sides. And quite
properly, for any intelligent
person knows that Catholics
are on both sides Of the politi-
cal fence.
Partisan politics were no.
tahly absent from the Catholic
pulpitS Of the land. This was
not the case among our Prot
estant brethren. Fair-minded
Protestants in the pews were
shocked and disgusted. Thanks
be to God, there were many
Protestant clergymen who de-
cried this misuse of the pulpit,
this effort to stir up anti
Catholic bigotry."

In any event may assure you
of my personal good wishes. A
re-reading of the Village Voice
article will call to your attention
that it is my belief that the diff
ficult pro b e m S attending the
achievement of universal broth
erhood are not just problems for
the American South but for all
mankind.
1t is certain that any Northern
er who adopts a holier- than-thou
attitude toward the South in the
present difficulty is badly mis-
guided. 1t seems to me that, more
often than not, virtue is the result
of lack of interest in particular
sins rather than matter Of
heroic self-denial. If those of US
reared in the North find less pre-
JUDGE in our hearts than in those
of our Southern brothers, it ILL
behooves us to feel pride or SUI
periority. Each man has his own
weaknesses and perhaps in the

be able to lend each other

that justice for all may be at
