THE ANSWERS
1. Score five points if you
named two of these seven -John
Tyler, Millard Fillmore,
Andrew Johnson, Chester A.
Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt,
Calvin Coolidge and Harry S.
Truman.
2. Nov. 8. (
3. New Mexico and Ari
zona, both of which balloted
for president for the first time
in 1912, have always backed
the winner. If you said Alas
ka and Hawaii, give yourself
5 points for each. Neither has
yet voted in a presidential
election, so neither has ever
voted for a loser. Any other
answer is wrong.
4. Vermont. Maine spoiled
its perfect Republican record
when it voted for Democrat
Woodrow Wilson in 1912.
5. There's only one - Geor
gia. Louisiana voted for a Re
publican in 1958, North Caro
lina in 1928, Arkansas- in
1868, Mississippi and Alabama
in 1872 and South Carolina in
1876.
6. Theodore Roosevelt.
7. Dwight D. Eisenhower.
8. Lodge. He has two sons.
Nixon and Johnson have two
daughters each, Kennedy one
daughter.
9. Lodge. He was elected
to the Senate three times,
Johnson and Kennedy twice.
Nixon once. v
10. Lodge. He was first
elected to the Senate at the
age of 34 in 1936. He was a
year younger than Kennedy
was when Kennedy was first
elected to the Senate in 1952.
11. Johnson. He was elect
ed to the House in 1937 at 28.
Kennedy was 29 and Nixon
33 when they won their first
elections to the House.
12. The election of 1908.
William H. Taft, secretary of
war, defeated William Jen
nings Bryan, editor, author
and former congressman.
13. Warren G. Harding,
elected president in 1920, was
the only man in history to be
elected president while serv
ing as a U.S. Senator.
14. None is correct. A vice
president has not moved to
the White House through the
election route for 124 years.
House Makes Choice
15. The House of Repre
sentatives selects a president
with each state delegation get
ting only one vote in the bal
loting. The Senate elects a
vice president, if neither can
didate for that post gets a
majority of the. electoral
votes.
16. Score 5 points, if you
said four years. Nixon is older
than Kennedy by four years
and almost five months.
17. The election of 1916.
Woodrow Wilson went to be1
thinking he had lost the White
House. But the Republican
celebrations were premature.
California's 13 electoral votes
swung to Wilson by a margin
of 3,000 votes. A shift of only
about 1,500 votes in California
would have elected Republi
can Charles E. Hughes. The
final electoral count: Wilson
277, Hughes 254.
18. John Quincy Adams.
With 132 electoral votes need
ed to win the presidency, An
drew Jackson got 99 and
Adams 84 in a four-man race
in 1824. Jackson also out
polled Adams in popular
votes. But since neither had a
majority of - the - electoral
votes, it was up to the House
to choose a president. It
chose Adams.

an answer from the Attorney
General's office at its regu
lar meeting here Friday on
who is going to set the stan
dards of Oregon Welfare ,
the Welfare commission . or
the department of finance-and
administration.
The answer could deter
mine just how much food is
doled out to welfare cases and
the disposition of some $40
million the state gets from
the federal government to
handle programs other than
general assistance.
The matter came up when
the finance department re
fused to approve a welfare re
quest that general assistance
food allowances be raised
from 85 per cent to 100 per
cent of a standard low cost
diet developed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.

prove the food program was

tion, his department could

Br United Press International
Sen. John F. Kennedy:
(Speeches at Madison and
Milwaukee, Wis.): The Eisen
hower administration has had
a "consistent history of in
difference and failure" on
disarmament. Vice President
Richard M. Nixon and he
"both want peace," but "dis
agree fundamentally" on how
to achieve it. Nixon's peace
program "was based on the
premise that the battle for
peace was a battle of words
that we could end the threat
of war by talking it away."
"Words alone will never
impress Mr. Khrushchev," be
cause the Soviet premier "can
talk louder and longer than
either Mr. Nixon or myself."
Khrushchev will agree to dis
armament only when convinc
ed armed force "can never
bring a Communist victory."
The administration has
"virtually ignored" the prob
lem and there has been "no
real disarmament policy"' in
the past eight years. "As a re
sult of this failure, we have
been steadily unprepared on
disarmament. And the Soviet
Union has consistency had the
iniative in the eyes of the
world."
(Milwaukee question and
answer period): Regarding
his Catholic faith, he has
"strongly supported the Con
stitution and separation of
church and state. If elected
president or if I continue in
the Senate, I shall continue
my devotion to, the Constitu?
tion and support of it"
La Crosse, Wis., speech):
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
T. Benson "h a s brought
them (the farmers) close to
ruin, and Mr. Nixon proposes
to continue it." Farm condi
tions are a "pit of depression
. . . the only thing that won't
go down is the explanations
of Benson and Nixon. The
only thing that has gone up
is the cost of what the farm
er buys.",
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon: (Telegram to Kenne
dy). "I will be glad to have
my representatives meet with
yours at any convenient time
to discuss possible arrange
ments for a fifth TV-radio
debate in depth on this sub
ject of paramount importance
- Cuba."
Since Nixon had "told you
. . . that I was preparing an
answer" to Kennedy's fifth
debate challenge "I find it
difficult to understand your
continued public statements
to the effect that 'I am afraid
to meet you in debate.' Such
a statement is sophomoric and
not worthy of one who is run
ning for the highest office in
this land. Furthermore, you
know it is untrue."
Regarding policy toward
Cuba - and how to handle

cal quarantine . . . specifical

attempt to strengthen the non

forces in exile, and in
