SOLDIER BALLOT E ELECTJONRESULT Delayed Counting of Votes Might Keep Result in Sus pense for Days or Weeks. By Lyl C. Wilson United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Oct. 23 (U.R) There is at least a theoretical satistical possibility that delayed counting of soldier votes could keep the result of the November 7 presidential election in doubt for days or weeks. An unofficial United Press compilation shows that upward of 4.000,000 ballots have been sent to service men. If President Roosevelt and Gov. Thomas B. Dewey should come to a photo finish in the civilian voting, tiro winner might not be determined until the last votes from the military are counted. The dead line for the soldier vote count varies in different states,- rang ing on up from election day in most states to December 7 in Nebraska. Must Count All AH absentee ballots soldiers' and civilians' alike must be counted on November 7 in every state but "11. These 11 states have a total of 118 electorial votes. Many persons a' r e con vinced that next month's elec tion will be a close one and for this reason, the service vote in one or more states may be a vital factor. In the 11 states where the soldier vote may be tabulated later than Nov. 7, the voters that are in on Nov. 7 may be counted then or shortly there after. But in each of these states there are dead-lines at which acceptance or counting of delayed soldier votes must cease. Here they are: California, Nov. 24; Colorado, Nov. 22; Delaware, Nov. 9; Florida, Nov. 17; Missouri, Nov. 10; Nebraska, Dec. 7; North Da kota, Dec. 5; Pennsylvania, Nov. 22; Rhode Island, Dec. 4; Utah, Nov. 27, and Washington, Nov. 27. Seek Early Return Military authorities are mak ing every effort to get the vote in early. Soldier ballots take precedence over all mails ex cept two kinds classified as se cret. However, the exigencies of war may cause delay from some areas. Two big states, either of which could prove to be the key to victory in the elections Cal- m inr-nf Ifomla and Pennsylvania are among the group with the latest deadlines for the soldier vote. It is estimated that 173,000 Cali fornia service men and women have received absentee ballots. In that state civilian absentee ballots may be counted through Nov. 13, but soldier votes can be accepted through Nov. 24. There are some 500,000 armed service ballots out from Penn sylvania. If a close contest de velops in either or both of these states, the soldier tally will de cide which candidate gets their sizable bloc of electoral votes.

A sample box is now on display at Red Cross Headquarters, Washington, D.C. The local Junior Red Cross, whose headquarters are located in the Holly Building, Is com posed of every school girl and boy in Jackson County. At this time members are engaged in making up "greeting boxes" for refugee children in liberated lands. The boxes are filled with articles a child needs, such as pencils, toothpaste, toothbrushes and combs. "Something pretty" and "something useful" are also added. The number of boxes prepared is limited by the num ber of empty Red Cross cartons available. Thus far, 368 boxes are under way. The Junior Red Cross Is also making gift boxes for soldiers. The artioles which these boxes contain are made to fulfill defi nite requests channeled through Red Cross camp and hospital councils and Junior Red Cross area officers.
