Absentee Vote

Margin in R.I.
Incumbent Governor's

Court Tet Threat
Brushed Aside
PROVIDENCE, R. I. Un Re-
publican Christopher Del Sesto,
49-year-old former Democrat, to
day was Rhode Island's governor
elect but a court test looms over
the validity of votes which brought
him victory.
With only 340 absentee ballots
still to be counted from the elec
tion six weeks ago, Del Sesto led
Democratic incumbent Dennis J.
Roberts by 509 votes 194,848 to
194,339.
Roberts, seeking a fourth term
as governor, threatened court ac
tion over me vanuuy oi aosemee
and shut-in ballots.
But Del Sesto 'declared at a
news conference:
"I am the governor now, based
on the vote. If they think they're
going to take it away from me,
they're going to have an awful
fight on their hands."
Roberts led by 207 votes after
the counting of ballots cast on vot
ing machines Nov. 6. Counting of
10,000 absentee ballots did not
start until Dec. 5 because of a
state law.
John G. Coffey, counsel for Rob
erts, took exception to the count
ing of "certain absentee and ab
sentee shut-in ballots" by the
Rhode Island Board of Elections.
He asked the board to discard
It, hallnte nn thp crnnnH fhyf tho
Constitution specifically limited
voting to election day.
Coffey contends the civilian and
shut-in absentee ballot law allows
voting by these ballots "on or be
fore election day" in violation of
the Constitution.
The Elections Board delayed a
ruling.
A registered Democrat until 1945
Del Sesto held state and federal
posts under Democratic adminis
trations. He split with the Demo
crats because of a dispute.
British Test
VTO Aircraft
With 5 Jets
LONDON m British aviation
engineers lifted slightly Wednes
day the veil of secrecy around a
five-jet plans combining fast for
ward speeds with the ability to
take off and land vertically.
Newspapers hailed the plane
uie SCI as putting Britain
ahead of the United States and
Russia in the race to develop jets
that can operate from small air
fields instead of mile-long runways.
The SCI SC stands for strange
contraption underwent its first
taxiing trials at a guarded air
field in Belfast, Northern Ireland,
Monday.
Only one official photograph
was released carefully posed
to show a minimum of detail. j
Manufacturers of the delta i
shaped plane, the Short Bros. and
Harland Co., said it is powered:
with Rolls-Royce jet engines. I
Two of the engines, pointing i
downward from the fuselage, are
used to raise and lower the craft
vertically. The three other en
gines propel it in level flight.
The plane also has an "auto
stabilizer" which controls it in the
air while it is shifting from ver
tical to level flight.
The manufacturers said Mon
day's trials were the first step
in testing the SCI. Thev eave no
date on when the plane will be'
ready for a full tryout of its!
nover-and-dash powers.
