1J MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, HM g J Minnesota Election Night 135 Days Long By WILLIAM FOX and BOB DODOR Uniled Press International St. Paul, Minn - Wl - Elec tion night in Minnesota was a long one. It lasted 135 days. In this stale, as elsewhere, the day after election nor mally dawns with a winner graciously accepting the plaudits of his supporters and a loser quietly making other plans for the future. But last November, Min nesota's gubernatorial race ended in a virtual dead heat. The state canvassing board was unable to decide between incumbent Gov. Elmer L. An dcrson. a Republican, and Democratic challenger Karl Bolvaag. formerly the lieu tenant governor. On orders from the stale supreme court, the board fi nally declared Anderson the victor by 142 votes. Rolvaag demanded a recount. Anderson Leads With the tedious recount in progress, Anderson continued to hold sway in the carpeted, heavily draped governor's of fice while Rolvaag sweated out the "anguish and uncer tainties" of canvass from an austere, "broom closet" of fice in the capital's basement. Then the outcome of the recount hit the capitol like bomb. Last month, Rolvaag was declared the winner by hair - thin margin 91 votes. Anderson moved out and Rolvaag came upstairs.

Rolvaag decided it would be futile to present either a new budp- j ct or a substantially revised t program. "The challenges which lie ahead are substantial indeed," the new governor concedes. He gets few arguments on ' that low-keyed appraisal. The Minnesota recount bal j tic was one of four held aft i er the Nov. 6 election to settle a governor s race. In Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Is land the issues were settled within a few weeks. In South Dakota's senate race. Democrat George Mc Govcrn won by 516 votes in a county-by-county canvass late last year. Verdict Late But in Minnesota, the ver dict wasn't known until late March and then the margin was only 71000 of 1 per cent of the total of 2.25 mil lion votes.

"Contemporary" dttlgn "Sculpta-Gnllc" Panels by Harvey Dcsicn Workshop Nation's Builders Designing With Family's Needs in Mind today s new and remodeled I the home-maker a fresh at-ito walk and stand on. homes arc easier to clean and keep clean, and easier to work, cook and serve in, be cause the nation's builders are designing and equipping them with the homemakers' needs in mind. This is especially important today, with family life and activities centering closely around the home. Television and the expense of outside entertainment are encourag ing families to spend more and more time at home and to do more home entertain ing. Ordinarily, this would make housekeeping more dif ficult. Due to built-in, time and labor-saving conveniences the opposite is true. Ltss Cleaning Air conditioning is becom ing a common feature in homes. Not only does it keep the house at a comfortable temperature, but it makes for less cleaning by filtering air before circulating it in the room. Kitchen ventilators are now being installed which completely change stale kitch en air in 3 minutes, insuring mosphcre in which lo work. These units can operate on less current than a 50-watt bulb. Builders are incorporating new, easy-to-clcan windows which eliminate the bulky, drafty sashweight boxes that admit large amounts of dirt into the house. Single - story, basemenllcss construction removes tiring stairs from the house; interi ors arc decorated with new, easily washable paints; kitch en surfaces are finished with stainproof, non-marring plas tic. New types of flooring or iginates no dust, thus keep ing houses cleaner. At the same time, tests show these new materials are less fa tiguing than the older types of flooring for the homemaker In the kitchen, where the homemaker spends a good part of her day. a housekeep ing revolution is afoot. New fixtures and appliances elim inate back - bending, saves steps, and cut minutes and hours from performance time for various chores. Eye-level ovens and right height cook surfaces which make stooping unnecessary are built right into kitchen cabinets. Time-consuming and tiring hunting and reaching for pots and pans is avoided by stor ing them on wail racks or in special storage cabinets with pull-out shelves or gliding holders. New kitchen cabinets have doors which lift up and out of the way al the touch of a finger. cd," proclaimed a happy Rol vaag aide. All voting ma chines had been checked and all paper ballots recounted. About 90,000 ballots were disputed during the recount. Attorneys for the two sides agreed on most. But about 1. 500 still had to be decided in a trial before a panel of three district judges appoint ed by the state supreme court. The only comparable re count cases. Rolvaag aide Ron Stinnett said, were the Michi gan governor recounts in 1950 and 1952 when Republi cans unsuccessfully challeng ed the election of Gov. G. Mcnnen Williams. The Minnesota recount might have lasted even long er than it did except that rep resentatives of the two con tenders worked up to 18 hours a day getting mountains of material ready for the re count trial. Asked how long the recount trial might have run if all 90,000 challenged ballots had been dumped in front of the judges, the attorneys just shrugged their shoulders. Pear Blossom FABRIC SPECIALS!
