New Hampshire Hamlet Casts Ballots for Ike Ellsworth. N. H. U.R This tiny mountain hamlet voted first in the nation today nine ballots solidly for President Eisen hower. "We all voted here and we stayed up all night to do it," said the nation's first voter, Chester Avery. "We hope this sets an example for the rest of the country-" "Americans should vote 100 per cent not 60 per cent." said Avery, a 66-year-old honey sales man and part-time worker in a crutch factory. Midnight Supper He and fellow residents of this mountain town gathered for a midnight buffet supper with three huge jugs of coffee, in the 130-year-old former schoolhouse that serves at Ellsworth's Town hall. The voters tossed coats and mufflers on the long wooden benches that once served stu dents of this wilderness area. Then chatting and laughing, they made ready to vote. Avery, oldest voter in the hamlet, said he'd "wavered only once" from voting a straight Re publican ticket. That was in 1912 when he first voted for president and cast his ballot for Bull Moose party candidate Theodore Roosevelt. Won Voting Race The Ellsworth voters won a race with two other hamlets for the honor of being the first vot ers in the nation this election day. Waterville Valley residents came in second, with 13 votes for President Eisenhower. Hart's Location, third in the voting race, cast five votes for Adlai Stevenson and three for Mr. Eisenhower. All three towns supported President Eisenhower in 1952. SCHOOL IN FUNERAL HOME Paterson. N. J.

Stevenson arrived home early today to cast his Demo cratic ballot fully confident he will be elected president. Stevenson issued a statement shortly after his plane arrived from Boston on the interna tional situation, saying the "crisis is getting worse." The Democratic candidate candidate planned to vote at Half Day, a village near his country home so named because it was half day's carriage ride from Chicago. Tonight Steven son will motor to the presiden tial suite of the Sheraton-Black-stune Hotel in Chicago to receive returns. Russia Said Encouraged Stevenson said "the collapse" of America s alliance with Bri tain and France has encouraged Russia to march back into Hungary. "If this fatal division in the West continues, it will invite further Soviet trouble-making elsewhere, in Poland and For mosa, for example," said Steven son. Stevenson's election eve talk from Boston, carried over a na tional television network, con tained the strongest language on the President's health he has used anywhere in his campaign. Nixon Seen as President He told the voters that they were not picking "a presid.)t for tomorrow," but "the man, or the men, who will serve you as president for the next four years" in today's election. "And distaseful as this matter is, I must say bluntly that cvery piece of scientific evidence we have, every lesson of history and experience, indicates that a Republican victory would mean that (Vice President) Nixon would probably be president of this country within the next four years," he said.

(U.R) Sen. Esles Kefauver has warned the Amer ican people that the question of "death and survival" may well rest on their votes in the presi dential election. Kefauver flew here in a final hand-shaking bid to return Flor ida to the Democrats. The Repub licans won Florida by some 100,000 votes in 1952, but the Democrats have expressed con fidence that they can win back the state today. The Tennessee senator, accom panied by his wife, Nancy, ar rived for a news conference, a motorcade tour through the greater Miami area and visits to Hialeah, Opa-Locka, North Mi ami, Miami, Coral Gables and South Miami. To Vote in Tennessee , He was to leave at 11 a.m. for Chattanooga, Tenn., where he will vote, and return to Wash ington tonight. "The Republican Party has failed to keep the peace," the Democratic vice presidential nominee said in a prepared statement. "The Russian army massacred the Hungarian rebels fighting for their freedom. Only the other day the flames of war erupted again in the Middle East. And I emerging from the debris of a bankrupt American foreign pol icy, we find ourselves . . . cut off from our ancient friends and allies." 1 CANNON GIFT j New Boston, N.H.
