Officials of the local said
today that the pickets will re

that only Sears in the shop
ping center is being picketed.
Further plans in the boycott
of Sears by the union will be

union officials stated.
Earlier this year letters

must appear at his precinct
polling place, identify him
self, sign the poll book, mark
the ballot in a booth provided,
and deposit the ballot in the
ballot box.
County Clerk Marvin Mad
den explained that each bal
lot must be marked properly
to insure its being counted.
Marking the ballot consists
of placing an X in the box
between the number and the
candidate's name, or, in the
case of measures, in the box
provided beside the "yes" or
"no." Instructions as to the
number of candidates to be
elected appear at the top of
the section provided for each
office.
Mismarked Ballots
Mismarked ballots should
not be erased or crossed out,
Madden said. The mismarked
ballot should be returned to
the election board which will
issue a new ballot.
The county clerk added
that persons who have moved
within the county or state do
not necessarily lose their right
to vote.
A person who has moved
from one precinct to another
in the county prior to the
close of registration Oct. 8
may return to his old precinct,
complete an "application for
re-registration" and vote on
state and congressional dis
trict candidates and measures.
Madden staled that this in
cludes both president and vice
president electors as they are
considered state candidates.
If a person moved within
the county after the close of
registration, he may get a
certificate of registration from
the county clerk and vote in
the ,new precinct on the en-
lire ballot.
Transportation to the polls
will be available throughout
the day by both political par
ties and by the Moose lodge,

Motion Hearing
In Bengtson Case
Not To Be Held
A hearing scheduled for this
afternoon in circuit court on a
motion for a new trial for O
H. Bengtson, Medford lawyer,
will not be held, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Gerald Scannell
said this morning.
After checking with one of
Bengtson s attorneys, Scanncl
said he understands no briefs
will be filed for the Medford
lawyer and the motion will
merely be allowed to remain
on the record. That the hear
ing will not be held was de
cided by Circuit Judge Orval
J. Millard, Grants Pass, Scan
nell said, due to letters re
ceived by the court from
Bengtson's attorneys.
On Oct. 12, Bengtson was
found guilty of embezzling
$3,701.14 from the Medford
Escrow company. On Oct. 17,
Judge Millard sentenced him
to three years in the Oregon
Correctional institution. Mean
while, Bengtson is out on
$5,000 bail.
Bengtson s attorneys had
filed motions for a new trial
and for an appeal to the state
supreme court. The question
had been whether the motion
for an appeal removes the case
from the circuit court juris
diction and automatically
places it before the stale su
preme court. Judge Millard
had been expected to rule on
that point this afternoon.
Bengtson's attorneys had filed
the appeal to keep the Med
ford lawyer out of jail while
further legal action is pend
ing.
Thursday, a Jackson county
grand jury considered evi
dence presented against "a
defendant" in the Medford Es
crow case. Eight secret indict
ments were relumed.
Bengtson is scheduled to be
tried on a prior indictment for
$1,700 on Dec. 13, Scannel
said.

To Cost $41,000 Hourly
Washington - ITU - Leonard
W. Hall, campaign manager
for Richard M. Nixon and
Ilenrv Cabot Lodge, said to
day the television time for
the GOP presidential candi
date's telethon from Detroit
today would cost $41,000 an
hour.
Answer to Charge
He then made the figure
public In apparent answer to
a charge from the Democratic
presidential candidale's camp
that the Republicans were
spending $500,000 on the tele
thon and three other half
hour segments In "prime TV
time."
Hall said in a statement:
Opinion Polls
ndicate Kennedy
Has Narrow Lead
Nixon Lieutenants
Say Timing at Peak
Washington-UPD-The hectic
1960 presidential election
campaign comes to an end to
day with both candidates act
ing as if victory depended on
few more voters who could
be converted by handshake
or glimpses at a TV screen.
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon and Sen. John F. Ken
nedy both undertook man-
killing schedules for this elec
tion eve before awaiting the)
verdict from Tuesday's voting.
Public opinion polls Indi
cated Kennedy was ahead but
not by a margin big enough
o generate overconfidence in
Democratic command posts.
Nixon lieutenants disputed
the polls and said they failed
to reflect that Kennedy had
passed a crest two weeks ago
and that the vice president's
timing carried his campaign
to its peak at election time.
Important Religious Issue
Both sides recognized that
the religious issue-Kennedy is
Roman Catholic-was one of
the big unknowns of the cam
paign and that it could both
help and hurt each candidate.
Another unknown factor was
the impact of President Eisen
hower's vigorous 11th hour
campaign In behalf of Nixon.
A record turnout Is expect
ed Tuesday. A forecast from
Republican National head
quarters put the figure at
about 67 million or within the
65 to 68 million range. Demo
cratic headquarters predicted
that the vote might climo
above 69 million, compared
with the previous record vote
of slightly above 62 million
in the presidential election of
1956.
In his final sprint, Kennedy
was booked today for appear
ances In Rhode Island, Con
necticut, Vermont and New
Hampshire, before moving
into his Jiome territory ot
Boston tonight. He will hear
the returns Tuesday night at
his summer home at Hyannis
Port, Mass. . ,
After fulfilling a pledge to
campaign In all 50 states by
flying to Anchorage, Alaska,
Sunday, Nixon headed back
east in an overnight flight to
Madison, Wis.
Nixon Makes Telethon
From a brief stop in Madi
son, he moves to Detroit,
where he will make a four
hour telethon, unprecedented
in a national campaign, to
answer questions telephoned
to the studio.
After a Chicago slop for
another TV appearance, he
flics back to his home state of
California. He votes Tuesday
at Whilticr and receives elec
tion returns at a Los Angeles
hotel.
The President and Henry
Cabot Lodge, GOP vice presi
dential nominee, campaigning
today in New England, will
share the TV screen with Nix
on. Eisenhower will be shown
from Washington and Lodge
from Boston. The GOP has
lime on all three national TV
networks between 10 p.m. and
midnight (e.s.U.
Kennedy scheduled his final
TV appeal from Boston over
CBS at 11 p.m. (e.s.t.). '
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson,
Democratic vice presidential
nominee, was making his final
campaign appearances in his
home state of Texas, one of
the major battlegrounds of the
campaign.

Campaign managers for
both candidates are most con
cerned about seven states with
the largest blocs of electoral
votes - New York, Pennsyl
