What would you do if some
one dropped a pair of scis-
sors into a voting machine
on election day? Or if you
found that =. a polling place
wasn't open-alSo on election
day?
Attractive Arlington County
Central Registrar Mary A.
Thompson, not only has the
answers to these problems but
to others as we'll.
On election day in Virginia.
Mrs. Thompson rises before
daybreak to give any needed
assistance to the county's 81
precinct head judges and
their poll workers. One year a
svoter dropped pair of scis-
sors into a voting machine.
Mrs. Thompson Immediately
sent the custodian of ma
chimes to the distressed area
to remove the offending OBJ
ject.
On another occasion a
custodian at a school deSig-
mated as a polling place, over
slept on election morning. The
poll workers, unable to enter
the voting quarters, franti-
cally called Mrs. Thompson
for help. She promptly
located a key to the school,
and the election officials
managed to open the polls
on time.
Popular Question
Most frequent election time
question is what hours the
polls are open," Mrs. Thomp-
son said. And she went on to
point out that qualified Vir-
ginia voters may cast their
ballots between 6 am. and
7pm. next Tuesday.
Other election day calls to
the Registrar come from peo-
pie who have moved and want
to locate their correct pre-
cincts. And Mrs. Thompson
inevitably has to explain Vir-
ginia's poll tax law to frus-
trated would-be voters who
have paid after the legal dead
line for voter eligibility MAY
s this year,
Mrs. Thompson and her
assistants continually check
voter registration records to
keep them current and ac-
curate-a never-ending task,
with Arlington's changing
population. The present num-
Der of voters is approximately
$4,000.
Mrs. Thompson noted that
1T is the policy in Arlington
to conduct elections in pub
,licly-owned buildings, like
schools and firehouse, wher-
lever possible. Availability Of

lone year." Mrs. Thompson
recalled, I'VE considered using
an administration building
on the grounds of a cemetary.
But" she smiled, I'VE figured
that some voters might OBJ
ject to such a polling place"
Asked whether the reason
for rejection was fear of jokes
about using the names on
tombstones for voting pur-
poses, Mrs. Thompson re-
piled: Actually, the place
was too small. so was not
used"
Mrs. Thompson is currently
furnishing information to a
County Board appointed COM
mittee charged with revising
Arlington's 81 precincts.
THE last revision was in
1885," Mrs. Thompson pointed
out, "and certain areas have
doomed in population since
then, and should be divided"
One of her most enjoyable
duties, according to Mrs.
Thompson, is that of escort
ing foreign dignitaries and
students on tours of voting
places during an election.
Visitors to this country"
she said, "are usually inter-
ested in our method of vot-
ing, and we are happy to let
them observe"
Arrangements for these
tours are generally made
through the State Depart
ment or other official chan
nels.
Some visitors have COM
mented on the orderliness
with which American elec-
tions are held. and on the
prevalence of women election
officials.

Topeko Police Use
Films As Weapons
By ROBERT H. CLARK
Kansas CITY Star Writer

TOPEKA (AP) - Movie strips
of persons arrested as drunken
drivers are becoming eff e c tt v e
weapons of the Topeka Police De-
partment
Still in the experimental stage,
the process has not been used as
evidence in the trial of case,
but it already has been the clinch-
er that won plea of guilty in
several cases, according to Capt.
John Dillon, head of the Topeka
traffic division.
In addition Capt Dillon said,
traffic officers have strips on "a
bout 25 drivers in reserve in case
their cases do reach the jury trial
stage.
The movies are taken as the
man is booked, with the person
having full knowledge the pic
lures are being taken, according
to 1t. Fred Feaker, public rela-
tions officer of the department.
The sequence follows such re-
actions as the finger-to-the-nose
test, walking line, lighting a Gig
arctic, fumbling for the drivers
license from the billfold or knee
bends.
We've had several pleas after
the man calls us next morning,
asks what happened and is told
among other things, that we have
a movie of him at the station
showing he was flying pretty
high" Feaker said
There is no problem of getting
pictures of drunks, Capt. Dillon
stated. "Drunks just love to have
their pictures taken = they like to
show OFF,"
Several test showlngs of the
films have been made to judges
and prosecuting officials and all
seem in agreement that the strips
can be introduced in court, Capt.
Dillon said.
There is the possibility, how
ever, that admissibi1ity as evidence
will be challenged SO Topeka po-
lice are not building their drunk
driving cases solely on the film
strips. Feaker said:
"It is just another tool in nail
ing down a case"
