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. The Republican
registration lead has been
steadily whittled down from
an almost one million edge
in 1954 to a slight Democratic
edge.
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. Riost ex
perts believe.il will be diffi
cult for Nixon to overcome
these odds and pick Kennedy
as the winner.
Delaware (3): Both parties
see an extremely close con
test although Nixon appeared
. to hold a wide edge early in
the campaign. 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. U. S. Sen. Margaret
Chase Smith is favored for
new term over Democrat Lu
cia M. Cannier in the na
tion's only female senatorial
battle.
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.

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

the possible
effects on the

1 e a d ing Eu

November Weather
Forecast Revealed
Washington-fllPU-The Weath
er Bureau predicts that No
vember temperatures will av
erage below seasonal normals
over the southern half of the
United States except for along
the West Coast.
In its regular 30-day fore
cast, the bureau predicted
above normal temperatures
for the Northeast and the
Northern Plains area. Near
normal temperatures are ex
pected over the rest of the nation.
Precipitation is expected to
exceed normal in the North
east quardrant of the country,
Subnormal amounts are antic

Legislation To
Assist Russian
Defector Planned
Washington IUPD Sen-
Jacob K. 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.

". .. our use of newspapers has
been a major factor in raising
Rambler to third place in sales"
FRED W. ADAMS
Automotive Sales Manager of American Motors Corporation
NEW YORK, Oct. 27 Rambler
has moved up from 21st place in
1D5H to third place in 1960 in the
rankings of all types of product
names advertised in newspapers,
Fred W. Adams, automotive sales
manager of American Motors Cor
poration, said here today.
"Success of the Rambler compact-car
concept has been news
unci our use of newspapers has
been a major factor in raising
Rambler to third place in sales,
Adams said.
"One of the reasons that the
newspaper medium plays so im
portant a part in our advertising
and merchandising strategy is its
flexibility," the group was told by
Adams. "When we make news, we
got the story into newspaper ad
vertising in a hurry." He referred
to sahs and production records and
victories in various economy runs.
Many of those news-type ads were
published within 24 hours after the
news was made." Adams said.
Y
American Motors spent more
money per dealer on newspaper
advertising than any other automo
bile company Inst year in a great
many markets.
Adams reported that Rambler
sales in 1057 totaled only 104,000
units. In the 19(i0 model year, sales
reached 435.000 Ramblers.
"Even with this success we will
continue lo spark a creative revolu
tion in automotive advertising,"
Adams said.
