It's a job done, not by the government, but by the priv ate en'erprise of press associa tions and newsp;mers through planning, qnick communications, painstaking tabulation, and the awett of , thousands of toiling O newwien. The iiig burden of toil is f.0m sunset to sunrise. o President Will Be oElected o&Dec. 17 Qvasngton CAP) The presi dent and vice president of the l teig SlStes for the next four years technically will be elected on Dec. i?1, rather than or Nov. 6.

Although tne American people jvihave knSWn the result for Ctwo Qnonths, the 4ene and House wHJ meet in joint ses sion next aan. 3 to count these sectoral vfltes and officially procRjm the winners who will take offieyn Jan. 20.o I Bv dawn, the public usually knows most of the answer to the "Who won?" question. By noon, they'll probably know for sure both the President and Congress. His newspaper, his television and radio sets, bring swiftly to the American man-in-the street the big picture formed by 60 million ballot. It's the assemb ling of this mosaic that takes some doing. The United Press on election night might well marshal 8,000 editorial workers. The reporter asked the precinct clerk: "Quick, Jim who won?" The figures speed by telephone to the near est UP. bureau. They are fun neled to a selected U.P. bureau in the state in which they origin ate. There they are tabulated county by county Into a state total. Bit by bit he figures flow on .special . "tab" wires across the country to press election headquarters in Washington. First the trickle, and then the 'flood. Between 10 p.m. and mid night if the 1952 presidential election can be taken as a guide United Press tabulators will count votes at a clip of 140,000 a minute. Extia Mileage To cover the national election, the U P. is adding 10,295 miles to its leased wire network. That means that on election night and until noon "next day the .U.P. will be receiving totals and send ing out comprehensive news stor ies on 350,000 miles of wire in the United States. Adding in the telephoto network brings the wire mileage to 371,000. In the state bureaus, state and regional writers that flow on regional wires to news media. In-the big Washington bureau, amid maze of fast-changing charts and humming tabulating machines, deskmen and political writers pull the vote together and assay its meaning. At 60 words a " minute the news dispatches are tapped out by printer machine on the trunk wires stories that grow and change and are scrapped for new stories as .the early skimpy returns become a groundswell '.through the night. Bv morning the big charts that record the races President, Senate, House, governors are smudged; the tabulators nd writers are into their seventh cup of coffee; the reporters are coddling aching leg muscles; the U.P. accounting office is begin ning to think about the 5100,000 cost bite of this one-night opera tion. But the public has the news. McKay Committee Spends $151,982.65 Washington (U.R) Reports filed here on campaign expendi tures yesterday showed that Douglas McKay's committee in his race for the U.S. Senate have received S151.932.65 in political campaign contributions.

Y, (U.R) Ray mond J. Boutet has good reason to' be suspicious about parking his automobile beneath a tree.
