New York IUPII - The elec tion outlook in 12 Eastern itates which have a total of 153 electoral voles: New York (45 electoral votes): Vice President Richard M. Nixon laces an uphill fight to capture the biggest package of electoral votes in the na tion. A New York Daily News poll showed at its halfway point Sen. John F. Kennedy was a heavy choice in New York City, trailing in the sub urbs and showing surprising gains in upstate areas. Both Democrats and Republicans claim record New York City registration, heavily Demo cratic, will help their parties. Nixon makes his big push for the city's vote this week with an assist from President Eisenhower. Pennsylvania (32 electoral votes): Both sides claiming victory with the outcome ap parently hinging on the vot ing turnout in traditional up state Republican counties versus the size of the majori ties in Philadelphia, state's largest city.

New Jersey (16): Both sides are predicting victory by a margin of about 100,000 votes Kennedy returns for a final push Nov. 6 and Republicans are insisting Nixon do the same. Democrats are hopeful their encroachments at state and local levels since 1935 will aid Kennedy. West Virginia (8): Economic depression seems to outweigh the religious factor and Keiv nedy's lieutenants predict the state where he staged a rug ged primary fight is safe. Democrats contend their reg istered majority of 680,000 to 400,000 will offset the large crowds which turned out for two visits by Nixon. Maryland (9): Democrats outnumber Republicans near ly 3 to 1 in voter registra tion, control the state admin istration and that of the key city of Baltimore.

Kennedy's pop ularity has been increasing among independents who say tney were impressed by his TV debating. Religion is a factor that cannot be gauged accuralely. Democrats think he can make up votes it will cost him in downslate regions with showing in New Castle county, which Includes Wilmington. Connecticut (8): Kennedy is favored to take the slate but unless he wins by a land slide, the Republicans may pick up two or even three of the slate s six scats in Con gress, now held by Demo crats. Maine (5): Nixon is the fa vorite In normally Republican Maine but Democratic guber natorial candidate Frank M. Coffin is believed to have a good chance of upsetting GOP incumbent Gov. John H. Reed.

Massachusetts (16): Kenne dy is expected to take his na tive state though Massachu setts electorate also will be voting for native son Henry Cabot Lodge, the GOP vice presidential candidate. How ever, the gubernatorial fight is neck-and-ncek between Re publican John A. Volpc and Democrat Joseph D. Ward be cause of local issues, includ ing scandals in state agencies under Democratic administra tion of incumbent Gov. Foster Furcolo. New Hampshire (4): Nixon is considered holding an edge in New Hampshire where Re publicans outnumber Demo crats 2-1. However, Rcpubli cans acknowledge privately that Kennedy has an outside chance of taking the stale. Rhode Island (4): Kennedy holds a slight edge and the Democrats are banking on him to help carry to victory Democratic senatorial candi date Claiborne Pell, political newcomer, socialite and form er foreign service officer. He opposes Republican Raoul Archambault Jr. for seat va cated by retiring Sen. Theo dore F. Green. Vermont (3): If there is any certainty in politics, Nixon will carry this Republican stronghold. Neutral sources predict a close fight for gov ernor between Democrat Rus sell A. Niquctte and Republi can F. Ray Keyser Jr. be cause of the sales tax issue. Gov. Robert T. Sanford holds an edge in his race to unseat Democratic U, S. Rep. Wil liam H. Meyer.

(UPI Telephoto) No Devaluation of Dollar Seen In Rising Europe Gold Prices By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York -(UPll- With all the talk these days about ris ing gold prices abroad and the possible effects on the dollar, Stan dard & Poor's Corp. polled 1 e a d ing Eu ropean bank ers for their ideas on the subjects. It found iicnry Bechtoid that there will be no devaluation of the dollar in the immediate fu ture, but the price of gold will be permitted to fluctuate in the open market at levels I necessary for the United above $35 per ounce. States to find means for How long this will contin ue, and the ultimate premium that will be paid before the United States ii forced to abandon its present policy, will depend to a major degree upon the cooperation of Eu ropean banks, SiP President Frederick A. Stahl stated. In order to forestall deval uation, he declared, it will be SOC Business Club Elects New Officers Ashland-Students at South ern Oregon college interested in business, met recently and elected officers for the com ing year.

Javits, (R-N.Y.) says he will introduce legislation to aid the sailor who deserted Nlkila s Ark" and sought po litical asylum in the United States last month. Javits said he will ask Con gress to grant permanent rest dence to Viktor Jaanimets. Jaanitncts was a crew mem ber of the Russian ship "Bal- tika" which brought Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev lo the U. N. General As sembly meeting in Septem ber. During a trip ashore Oct. 10, the sailor fled and U. S. immigration authorities grant ed him permission to remain "temporarily" in this coun try. Can S.k Employment Javits said the seaman was free to seek employment, but "if he tries to get the kind of job her which he has had for 11 years on a merchant ves sel, h could only work aboard a ship that visits no foreign ports. The senator said h i i bill would permit Jaanimets to ap ply for U. S. citizenship and allow him "to appeal to So viet authorities to grant exit permits to his relatives in Es tonia if they wish to join him here." "Jaanimets may be but one individual, but his flight to freedom stands as a dramatic symbol of what millions trap ped behind the Iron Curtain would undertake given the opportunity," Javits said. Halloween Marked By Comedy, Tragedy By United Preii International America donned its tradi tional Halloween falseface Monday night and watched it become a double mask of com edy and tragedy. While millions of young sters turned "trick or treat ing" into a fund raising drive for United Nations children's work, vandals used the even ing for grown-up crime and some grown-ups used chil dren's Halloween bags to car ry election year meassages. At Dallas, Tex., Democratic Assistant District Attorney Lee Pearson passed out apples and several hundred Kennedy- Johnson buttons to trick or trcaters. Anti-Catholic literature hid behind a Halloween mask at Pueblo, Colo. One tract which found its way into youngsters' bags termed the Roman Cath olic Church "everything con trary to the U.S. Constitu tion." Vandals cut a swath of de promptly correcting our i balance of payments. Exports Improve Exports improved substan tially during the first half of this year while imports lev elled off, but rising capital and other outflows kept our unfavorable balance close to a $3 billion annual rate. Stahl said his firm's con tacts overseas see no hope of a correction of this situation under a Kennedy administra tion, and also are doubtful the problem can be solved if Nixon is elected. He noted that sentiment on the continent uniformly holds that Kennedy is certain to win next week, and to this is attributed much of the blame for the recent "flight from the dollar" and from our stocks and bonds. Overieat Contacts The statistical agency's ov erseas contacts see the Bri tish as being in the weakest position, next to us, in the position o f their currency. Thus they reason the relation ship between the dollar and the pound sterling might be closely maintained. These foreign observers are bearish about the U. S. stock market, and look for indus trial issues to give up another 5 to 10 per cent In the near future. They assert we now are in a recession, one they expect will continue through most of 1961. Stahl said the prospect of Kennedy as president weighs heavily in the thinking abroad. He added that there Is much comment that we are turning toward socialistic programs at a time when Western Europe is proving abundantly that private en terprise, sound fiscal manage ments, and encouragement to business are the wisest policies.
