MEDFORp MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1960 Kennedy Given Edge in Unofficial Illinois Canvass . Chicago - IUPD - Final but unofficial canvass figures from the Nov. 8 election today gave Illinois' 27 electoral votes to President-elect Ken- nedy by a razor-thin 8,656 votes. But Republicans demanded an official recount and will go trj court Friday to try and prove the Chicago Democratic machine stoic the election from Vice President Richard M. Nixon in this city. . The GOP charged the Demo cnitic - dominated Board of flections Commissioners Wed nesday made a "farce" out of its attempt to question 460 election judges about alleged voting irregularities. Raging Controversy ' These were the latest do vclopmenls in the raging con troversy over the presidential balloting for the Prairie Slate's crucial block of elec toral votes. ,. Republicans hope to reverse Kennedy's victory here and thus whittle down his margin in the electoral college to 273 Votes - just four over the re quired 2G0 for election to the presidency. . If this were to happen, the GOP feels, enough southern electors might be tempted to withhold their votes from Kennedy to throw the election to the House of Represen tatives. i n i , - - ks QUEEN CANDIDATES - One of these seven girls, selected hold the coveted Rose Tournament crown which one will as members of the Royal Court of the 72nd Tournament of wear.

Investigators for the House government information sub committee told United Press International that the study, prepared by Johns Hopkins University researchers under a" contract with the Army, was expected to be made public Friday or early next week. The report, which was stamped "for official use only," has been denied to re porters on the ground that the Army was reviewing its con clusions. Would 'Welcome' Release ' The Office of Civil and De fense Mobilization said it would "welcome release of the report'.' but that the decision was up to the Army, Subcommittee Chairman John E. Moss (D-Calif.) fired a new barrage at OCDM Wed nesday for denying that it had tried to suppress th6 report. He said the "political ap pointees at the OCDM have no comprehension of the peo ple's right to know the facts." His attack on the civil dc fence agency came after OCDM spokesman Herbert S. Moore denied Moss' original charge that there had been an attempt to suppress the report. But Moore did acknowledge that OCDM Director Leo A. Hoegh blocked the author of the report, Dr. Theodore J. wang, trom appearing at a national meeting of civil de fense officials. He said the OCDM "ques tioned whether the meeting was the placo for a critical speaker." The controversial study said the present air raid warning system fails to protect Amer ica from intercontinental bal listic missiles. It suggested a system of buzzer alarms in all private homes and public buildings, and said present air raid sirens are not loud enough to reach large seg ments of the population Commercial Banks Get Federal Funds To Pep Up Business Washington -IUPII-The gov- but not exceptional. eminent is making more than $1 billion in "high powered" loan funds available today to the nation's commercial banks but the step Is not likely to impart much snap to business. Government economists are unsure whether the economy Is headed up or down these days. A Commerce Depart ment expert merely shrugged his shoulders when asked to predict the direction for the closing three months of the year. Not Moving Fast But the experts are fairly confident that whichever di rection business is moving, it's not moving fast or far. . One reason is that con sumers are not expected to go on a buying binge. For retail ers, this probably means Christmas trade will be good For workers, especially those employed in factories and the unskilled, the indiffer ent business situation prob ably means 5V to 6 million unemployed in January and February, when the number of jobless hits a seasonal high. Through a technical action which goes into effect today the Federal Reserve Board is adding about $1.05 billion to the reserves of the ,6,200 com mercial banks - including all the big ones - which belong to the Federal Reserve Sys tem. , Provide New Bank Loans Those are so-called "high powered" dollars because they provide the monetary basis for up to $7 billion in new bank loans. Although the new reserves officially are avail able today, they won't mean Taverns Told To Speed Applications Portland -IUPD- The Oregon Liquor Control Commission Wednesday turned down a tavern owner's plea for later closing hours, and warned bars and taverns to speed their applications for 1961 li censes if they want to stay open after midnight New Year's Eve. The commission also post poned a decision on ten food-and-liquor establishments that face possible penalties under a rule requiring one-fourth of their total sales to come from food. Hugh Kirkpatrick, chair man of the commission, said taverns selling beer had not demonstrated "a sufficient cause" for a change in closing hours. . ,. The taverns had requested a closing hour extension from 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. The later closing hour Is now allowed tor bars selling hard liquor, The commission announced a Dec. 14 deadline for liquor license renewal requests if the licenses are to be Is sued by New Year's Eve.
