MIR. Torcaso, an atheist, was
appointed a notary public by
Gov. Tawes in 1859. He was
denied his commission by the

as part of his oath of Office.
Opinions Handed Down
The Supreme Court handed
down the first opinions Of its
1960-61 term today in three
relatively minor cases. It also
agreed to hear an appeal by a
Negro minister convicted of
manslaughter in Alabama who
alleged that Negroes are sys-

7 Stotes Key to Election

With the marathon campaignl

or Republican Vice President
Nixon appeared to hinge pri-
marily on the decision of al
majority Of the voters in the
seven largest States.
These States New York

have 205 of the 269 electoral
votes needed for election. ToI
win. either candidate probably
will need to carry most of
them. New York and Califor-|
MIA were reported shaded for|
Senator Kennedy. The rest
were listed as doubtful.
Although many of the POLL
sters and dopesters gave Sena-|
tor Kennedy the edge in theI
contest across the Nation, Mr.
Nixon's partisans maintained
outward confidence a last-hour|
surge would carry their man to|
narrow victory. Some of SEN
ator Kennedy's hackers we're
talking in terms of an electoral
vote landslide. \
135,000 Miles in Travel
The two presidential candi-|
dates and their running mates
scheduled a fittingly feverish|
windup for a campaign in
which they have criss-crossed|
the Nation by air, rail and
motorcade for a total of 135, 600
miles 0f travel. Each has been
seen il reTsen by millions and
on television by additional tens
of millions.
Senator Kennedy stumped in
about 240 cities and towns, MIR.
Nixon in about ITO. With yes
terday's visit to Alaska, Mr..
Nixon made it to all so States.
Senator Kennedy bypassed only
Alabama, Hawaii, Louisiana, j
Mississippi, North Dakota and
Nevada.
AS the candidates raced down
to the wire, there was general
recognition that a few un-|
gauged factors might influenced
the final result.
One of these is Senator Ken
nedy's Roman Catholic religion.
Mr.. Nixon is a Quaker.
EiSenhOwer'S Role
Democrats generally thought
S Sena tor Kennedy's religion|
would be more of an asset than
a liability to him. They con-
ceded the Democratic nominee|
would be likely to lose some
States in the South and the
Middle West on this issue. But
they thought that Catholics
who usually vote Republican,
might give him the edge in
States with the heaviest cleo
toral votes.
Mr.. Nixon's camp declines to
talk about religion. But the
Vice Presidents associates are
not insensitive to the fact that
it is helping them not only in
the South and in the Midwest
farm belt, but in scattered
States elsewhere.
Even after the voters give
their presidential answer to-
morrow, however. it may be

Citizens Attack
FreewaY Plans
ForCapitoIHi||
Northeast Link
Fovored by Stoff
Also Under Fire
BY GILBERT GINIBLE
Star stan Writer

The Districts plans for free
ways in the Capitol Hill and
Northeast area came under q
concentrated attack today from
several groups.
At the same time, however,
highway officials staunchly de-
Tended their road program as
vital to the growth of the city
and the entire metropolitan
region.
The public hearing on the
plans turned out to be one Of
the most heavily attended in
recent years at the District
Building, drawing more than
800 persons. Witnesses and
spectators filled the 200 seats
of the District Building board
room, sat and stood in the
aisles and overflowed into q
corridor where loudspeakers
were set up. Many ordered box
lunches and ate at their seats.
The hearing was called spe-
cifically to air views on the
Districts proposal to locate the
$50 million east leg of the In
ner Loop along Eleventh street
from the Anacostia River on
the south to Florida avenue onl
the north.
Baltimore Link Aired
A second aspect Of the hear
ing concerned seven alterna-
tive routes proposed for the
Districts connection in North
east to the third route to Bal
timore now being planned by
Maryland officials.
District highway planners
have not yet settled on any one
Of the alternative routes, but
their engineering oonsultants
have recommended that the
route follow the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks, including
a viaduct over the Ivy City
railroad yards.
This route-called Route c.
would skirt Catholic University
but would cut across unde-
veloped land belonging to
several Catholic schools.
John L. Hamiltons general
counsel for the Washington
Terminal Co., strongly recon-
mended that Route c not be
adopted because it would re-
quire expensive relocation or
removal of facilities at the
Ivy City railroad yards at "a
cost that might well run to
fantastic proportions"
Represents Archbishop
He said, giving one example,
that q newly installed auto
matte car-washing facility that
cost almost 100000 might
have to be rebuilt if the viaduct
is carried over the Ivy City
yards.
Mr.. Hamilton said Route c
plans would also cut of any
possible future expansion of
the Washington Terminal op-
Grafton in that area. However,
he indorsed one Of the alterna-
tive routes and urged that it
be adopted instead.
Testifying on behalf of the
most Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle,
Catholic Archbishop of Wash
ington, Mr.. Hamilton also
pointed out that st. Anthony's
High School at Tenth and
Lawrence streets NE. and a
convent nearby appear to be
directly in line Of Route c.
Also affected by Route c,
Mr.. Hamilton noted, would be
the Kennedy Institute, a school
for retarded children, located
on the grounds of the Catholic
Sisters College at Eighth and
Buchanan streets NE.
