Polls Reveal Mo Clear Lead
In Contest for Presidency
WASHINGTON (AP) Amen,
cans with a presidential prefer
ence could find a poll to suit their
tastes today, whether their choice
was Richard M. Nixon or John
F. Kennedy.
Professional polls, newspaper
polls, college campus polls and
miscellaneous other straw vote
polls showed various results even
though the election itself is only
three days away.
Pollster Klmo Roper headed
into the final pre election weekend
with a conclusion, "There's not a
clear lead by either candidate."
Roper's latest figures, from an
Oct. 24 nationwide pulsetaking,
showed 46 per cent for Republi
can Nixon. 44.5 ner cent for Dem
ocrat Kennedy and 9.4 per cent
undecided. But a closer analysis
of the undecided vote gave this
revised picture: Kennedy 48.5 per
cent, jvixon 47.5 per ceni, unue
cided 4 per cent.
"The 4 per cent undecided could
make an electoral college iunu
slide either wav." Roper added.
Kennedy boosters could take
cheer from George Gallup's re
port this week of "a dramatic
shift" toward the Democratic
slate in the campaign home
stretch. Gallup said his latest na
tionwide poll, tabulated from Oct.
20-26 interviews, indicated that of

The mushroom resembles the
popular fairy ring mushroom, also
known as scotch bonnet and cham

Three cases of mushroom pois

Oregon Stale Medical Society thus
far this autumn.
A physician of the society stated
the mushrooms may cause serious
illness.

a weekly trade newspaper which

Among executives of daily

picked as the victor by a some

Missing Prisoner
Story Gets Reply
From Sheriff Byrd
Sheriff Ira C. Byrd today insisted
that the case of the missing prison
er Deing used ny nis opponent,
Democrat Carl Smith, did not in
volve an escape.
Byrd said Friday he would not
answer the charge, but he said to
day he decided it would be best to
make a rebuttal.
Safeguard Expense '
He explained that the prisoner,
who had been charged with non
support, had actually been releas
ed because of the expense involved
in safeguarding him on the parti
cular occasion.
He said the airlines had indeed
ruled that he and his prisoner
should not travel on the same
plane. He said that with the charge
involved, he decided was not worth
the expense involved for further
maximum security, so, ne took a
"calculated risk" in releasing him,
being certain the prisoner could be
relocated.
Byrd said the man was easily lo
cated again and could be brought
back if necessary, but no demand
has been made for his return "be
cause the charge was not suffi
ciently serious."
Other Criticisms
Smith had charged (hat Byrd
the Republican candidate, had let
the prisoner escape after the air
lines had ruled' he and the prisoner
could not travel together in the
same Diane.
Byrd also had some remarks on
other criticisms of the sheriff.
About the insistence that a matron
should be on duty at all times,
Byrd said matron service has been
available for the last five years to
handle women prisoners when the
prisoner is booked in and when
emergencies arise. He said the
budget committee has allowed
more money this year than ever
before for the service, which In
cludes one full-time and two part
lime matrons.
"We would like to have matrons
on three eight-hour shifts, but our
midget win not allow it, ne saia.
Deputy Available
About Smith's call for a night
patrol between 1 and 8 a.m., Byrd
said a deputy can be contacted at
any time of tne mgnt in tne coun
ty for immediate action.
"This system is working satis
factorily, and there is available
coverage between the hours of 1
and 8 a.m. and all other hours,"
Byrd insisted.
Finally, Byrd claimed that Smith
had stated early in the campaign
that "he would do away with the
Sheriff's Reserve. Now he admits
it is a strong right arm to the
Sheriff's office. Perhaps if it were
his responsibility, he would also
chango his mind about weekend
patrols also," Byrd said.
He concluded that he had "re
frained from mud-slinging because
I feel that the job isn't worth it
if I have to get it by tearing some
one else down."

James William Pollard, 50, of
2571 NE Stephens St., died at a
local hospital Friday evening.

Voters Told How To Ease
Task Of Election Boards
Douglas County Clerk Charles
Doerner today asked voter help
in making the election job easier
for election boards around the
county.
He asked that voters: (1) mark
Ihcir choices in the squares be
fore the names and (2) fold their
ballots after voting so the stub
sticks above the fold.
On the first point, Doerner said
the job is considerably easier for
counting boards if the choice of
the voter is clearly marked in the
square printed just in front of the
name or ballot measure selection.
On the second point, he said,
every ballot should be folded three
times from the bottom, leaving the
stub exposed above the last fold.
In this way, Doerner said, the se
crecy is retained while still making
it possible for the election clerk
to detach the stub.

Roseburg Depend
On Fog Absence
West Coast Airlines is currently
operating two Fairchild F-27 prop
jet flights out of Roseburg daily.
Daily, that is, when the F-27 pilots
can find a hole in the winter fog
so they can get into municipal
airport.
LeRoy Scott, manager of WCA'a
Roseburg office, said the two prop
jet flights were added Nov. 1 for
customer convenience and com
fort. The two flights are No. 743
which leaves Roseburg at 9:57
a.m. and No. 746 which departi
(rim here at 8:23 p.m.
Both flights will offer one-plane
service from here to the Seattle
and San Francisco areas. In addi
tion, WCA will still have its DC-3
non-prop jets flights No. 44 depart
ing from here at 8:03 a.m. and No.
49 departing at 9:17 p.m.
Scott said bad weather caused
cancellation of 42 flights out of
Roseburg last month. Only two
cancellations have been made so
far this month. Both were caused
by the heavy fog this morning.
