VIRGINIA VOTER
DROPS BALLOT
INTO TV SET

FIELDALE, Va. (AP).-
A problem developed early
for election officials at
Fieldale today.
One of the first voters
to appear, a woman tex
tile mill worker, was hand
ed her blank ballots. She
dutifully marked and fold
ed them, and inserted them
in the slot of a mahogany
box placed against the
wall. There are separate
ballots for President, SEN
ator and Representative,
and two constitutional
changes.
However, it was not the
ballot box. It was a televi-
sion set which had been
turned with its face
against the wall.
Polling officials decided
to leave the ballots in the
TV set until the polls close.
A TV repairman will be
summoned to open the set
and place the ballots, still
folded, in the proper bal
lot box.

Of the same hour in 1856. In
that area, Democrats are re-

in the 4th district and Repub-

In Falls Church, long lines
were partially due to another
factor - voters unfamiliarity
with voting machines which
were being used there for the
first time.
Partisan campaigners frat

In Danville, partisans reached

At today's hearing. spokes-

These representatives told the

The Fish
BY JOHN McKELwAY

BY JOHN McKELWAY
The first bitter wind in a
long time swirled around the
gray downtown. The people
who trudged up and down
seemed particularly grave.
It was the eve of a national
election and lives and times
could change radically in a
few hours. That might have
been it. Maybe they were
still undecided.
But the fish
They looked so warm and
so unconcerned; so fat and
indolent. They were blimps
that floated up and down
without effort in heavy air.
They were bored but liked
the feeling and were irritat-
ingly superior. They were
ready to roll over on satin
pillows and reach for soft
candy.
Jealous, the visitor went
into a little office to talk to
the people who run the
aquarium in the Department
of Commerce. He was pleased
to hear life is not always so
apparently pleasant in a
tank.
Craig Phillips, the assist
ant director, said a fish con-
stantly bullied by another,
constantly followed around
the tank and nipped on the
fins, eventually breaks down
and dies.
Then we walked oHt to
have a look at the bully-a
small-mouth bass who had
caused so much trouble he
had been placed in isolation
for q while. He was unable
to get along with other small
mouth bass or with the
large-mouth bass collection.
Now he is in with the gar
fish.

the booths took advantage of
the coffee being dispensed out
side many polls by party
workers.
Voters had difficulty finding
parking places. sometimes hav-
ing to park two or three blocks
away. Often the husband and
wife went together and one
drove the car around the block
while the other voted.
Montgomery County police
said they had dispatched sew
eral officers to polling places
by noontime to clear up traffic
jams. A police spokesman said
the voting was the greatest
turnout he had ever seen and
that the balloting did not slack
of much after the morning
rush hour.
Lost Glasses Hinder
At Precinct 8 in Bethesda
Mack Eckenrode, Of 1918 Del
Ray avenue, couldn't find his
glasses before he left home and
had to have help from one
Democrat and one Republican
as he cast his ballot.
Emerging from the booth.
Mr.. Eckenrode. who said he
requires strong glasses and
couldn't identify the candidates
on the voting machine without
them. declared: II had to cast
my vote for Mr.. Kennedy, eye
glasses or not"
Clarence r. williams, Demo-
cratic chairman for Precinct 8,
set up headquarters at a
friends home next to the poll
ing place and dispensed toast
and coffee and turkey sand
wiches to visitors.
At Langley Park School in
Prince Georges County, more
than 100 were waiting in line
before the polls opened at the
school, which is the polling
place for the biggest precinct
in the county.
Many Take Time
Poll workers said that most
voters were taking time to vote
on the many amendments on
the ballot, although the lines
weren't being held up unduly.
Voters are limited to four min
utes in the booth unless there
are amendments on the ballot,
but poll workers said hardly
anyone took that long. There
are Is constitutional amend
ments and the proposed Po-
tomac River compact on the
ballot.
Mrs. Virginia Wiltbank, q
poll worker and a member of
the Prince Georges Planning
Board, said most people were
reading the amendments while
they stood in line. Sample bal
lots were being passed out by
party and poll workers. and
large sample ballots were hung
inside most polling places.
Workers for the Maryland
Committee for Fair Repre-
sentation reported that their
petition drive is going over well
in Montgomery County, but
the voters in Prince Georges
weren't signing up in as great
a number. The petitions urge
reapportionment Of the repre-
sentatives in the Maryland
State Legislature to give the
h eavily populated suburban
areas more voice in State gov
ernment.
Petition handlers in Prince
Georges said voters there ap-
parently weren't as familiar
with the committees drive as
those in Montgomery, where
several of the committee off,
GERS live.
Party officials were expecting
a turnout of l million or more
in the State. The State voter
registration is approximately
1882, 900.

HE HAD NIPPED at them
for a while. But they are
tough and now they ignore
him and he ignores them. He
had just eaten and had a
rather sweet expression on
his face. He was self-satis-
fed.
Mr.. Phillips explained that
aquarium fish go soft after
they have been pulled from,
say a tumbling mountain
stream.
No longer required to fight
for their food, they just float
around and wait for the
chopped liver that arrives
twice a week.
Their sparkle diminishes;
they put on weight; they live
longer than their colleagues
in freedom; they seldom
breed; they grow dull.
While they might splash
around a bit after entering
the tank for the first time,
they quiet down and dislike
the intrusion OF another fish
unless it's a minnow, which
they gobble at leisure.
Even the piranha, which
has the reputation of max
ing mincemeat of natives
along the Amazon, is timid
and nervously flutters away
when a human hand enters
its environment to rearrange
a rock or plant.
The only excitement is felt
by the turtles. Located with
in reach, some have been
stolen and then returned by
policemen who have found
them clacking across Penn
Sylvania avenue.
The lethargy of the fish
is not shared by Mr.. Phillips,
who is currently hard at
work on plans for a new
aquarium for the city, maybe
the largest in the world.
Sharks are contemplated at
the new aquarium which still
lacks a site.
They would not be the first
on display in Washington.

find European pieces included
in Lord & Taylor's latest
antique collection that will

The Austrian peasant
pieces, handmade and hand
painted by the farmers them
selves, were sought out per-
sonally by the stores buyer
in the mountains of Austria.
They were bought directly
from the farmer for the col
lection.
Fascinating to the antique
collector are the beds, hand
painted with religious motifs
and fruits and flowers in
still-clear colors on the
carved headboard and foot.
There are unusual items to
interest everyone from the
giant decorative oxen bells
to the same animals hand
