Voting Machines in Nevada Break Down Las Vcgas-CPD-A mechani cal breaddown in 20 of the 100 Clark county voting ma chines used in Nevada's gen eral election caused an uproar among thousands of voters Tuesday. The breakdown resulted when a last-minute error in the voting machine ballot used in the voting was dis covered and the mechanical tabulators got out of kilter after adjustments were made. U.S. Attorney Howard Bab cock requested the FBI to in vestigate to make sure no one had tampered with the ma chines. However, all indica tions pointed toward a me chanical breakdown. There was some indications that results of the balloting might be challenged because of the breakdown but no for mal action along this line was filed by the time the courts closed.'

WALZER UPI Pinancial Editor New York - (UPD - The time may be approaching when the United States will be depend ent on imports to satisfy its growing t e quirements for petroleum ac cording to the i n v e s t m ent firm of Calvin Bullock. The firm carries a de- Eimer waizer tailed analysis of the oil industry 'in its monthly publication, "Per spective," and notes that we have been slipping back in new discoveries of oil re serves over the recent years. "As annual production rises," the article notes, "it is necessary Jx increase the quantity- of proven reserves found each year merely to keep even. "This has become increas ingly difficult to achieve in the U. S. and as a result sup ply of oil measured in terms of a year's requirements de clined from 14.0 in 1949 to 12.4 in 1957. Imports Increasing "During the period from 1947 through 1957 an average of 3,550,000,000 barrels have been found each year. Three times during the past four years this average has not been attained and in 1957 only 2,560,000,000 barrels were found, while 2,910,000,000 were produced, causing year end reserves to fall by 349 million barrels from the pre vious year. ' The article admits that find ing of oil tends to be quite arratic from year to year and recent results therefore are not conclusive. Also, it notes that increases in our imports are reportedly to blame for the weakening trend of supply- ' ! Since 1947, it is pointed out, imports of petroleum have risen by 254 per cent to the point where net im ports of crude and products averaged 983,000 barrels daily in 1957. Efforts have been made by the government to curtail im ports. But the Bullock article expresses the hope this policy will not be carried to the point of encouraging exces sively uneconomic production and thus cause this country to lose the competitive advan tage of relatively favorable energy costs. U. S. Uses Most Oil Demand for petroleum pro ducts is rising in the Free World at a rate twice that of the . U. S. rate, the article points out. This situation has Scientists To Use Stars in Tracking . London-fUPD-Four American scientists reported success to day in several dry runs with British scientists in an Anglo American effort to keep tab on the third U. S. moon rocket to be launched soon. Officials using a powerful radio telescope said stars giv ing "off radio waves are being used as targets to ensure the telescope works if the moon shot goes off on Friday. The Americans headed by William Young have been at Jodrell Bak for several weeks. Their tracking equipment, linked electronically to the 250-foot diameter telescope, is contained in a trailer nearly. Young said his group was "collecting signals from radio sources in the universe and feeding it into our data stor aep pnuiDment." He said if the moon shot comes off the data will be relayed to Los Angeles and broken down there. 18-Year-Olds Lose In South Dakota Pierre. S. D. (UPD For the second time in six years South Dakota voters refused to ex tend the voting privilege to 18-year-olds. ' A proposed constitutional amendment was defeated by a margin of better than 2 to 1, ; with returns from more than ; one-fourth of the precincts ; counted. j The same proposal lost in 1952 by a scant 700 votes out of the total of 250,000 cast. j Contruction of a fort where the city of Kingston, Ont., now stands, was supervised by Frontenac in 1673.

S. still uses more petrol eum than all the rest of the world combined. - This year the U. S. domes tic demand is expected "to show a gain of 2.1 per cent over 1957 and it is predicted the rise in 1959 will be 4 per cent. The annual average in crease between 1949 and 1957 was 5 per cent. ' -In this connection, the ar ticle ventures the belief that a saturation point may have been' reached in unit con sumption of gasoline in the U. S. which has shown a con stant decline from 686 gallons per passenger car in 1953 to an estimated 647 in 1958, ac cording to National Petroleum News. Just now there's a world surplus of crude oil, the ar ticle notes and it likely will remain with us for another three years. After that the in dustry may be hard pressed to keep up with demand..
