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.

Army To Take Secrecy Wraps
Off Air Raid Warning Report
Washington (UPI) - The
Army will take the 'secrecy
wrap off a hush-hush report
which says the nation's air
raid warning system Is inade
quate, it was learned today.
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

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

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

for up to $7 billion in new
bank loans. Although the new
reserves officially are avail

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
