Electoral Vote Need Questioned WASHINGTON (AP)-Some of the top legal authorities here dis agree strongly over' what misht happen U no presidential electors should be certified from Illinois this year. Illinois' Republic Gov. Vil liam G. Stratton has said the Hate's Democratic electors may not be certified by the Stale Elec toral Board if it leceives substan fial evidence of fraud in the elec tion. Stratton is chairman of the Republican-controlled board, Republican National Chairman Thruston B. Morton is diiecting a GOP uivestigation of vote fraud charges in the state. On the basis of reported totals from Illinois' 102 counties, Demo crat John K. Kennedy won the slate by 8,849 votes in the Nov. 8 election. Should Illinois, with 27 electoral votes, fail to make any certifica tion of electors, the question would be: Does this automatically reduce the size of the Electoral College normally having 557 votes with s resulting reduction in tht num ber of votes required for ma jority? You can get emphatic opinKn on both sides of the question but government lawyers in the exec utive branch, where Republicans predominate, prefer not to be quoted directly either way. One summed up the situation like this: "The Constitution and the lawbooks are completely silent on this eventuality. No court has 'ever passed on the question. Hence, at this point, one man's opinion is as good as another's." The parliamentarian of the House, where the electoral votes wilj be officially tallied at a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, has declined to express any view. He said "this is a constitutional ques tion." Just where the authority lies to settle such a constitutional ques tion is in doubt. Some raise the point that an opinion by the attorney general might have no binding eftect on anyone, since it would only be an opinion. Others go so far as to question whether even the courts could in tervene, basing this on a statute which says a presidential election cannot be upset because someone complains he was denied the right to vole. The Constitution provides that the presidency shall be decided by a majority of the "full number ol electors appointed." If no can didate wins such a majority, the House can proceed to elect the president. If Illinois fails to certify its electors, it is assumed mandamus action to force a certification could be brought against the gov-, ernor, or that each of the major parties would offer its Illinois electoral slate to the House tor action. There was a somewhat similar situation in the post-Civil War election of 1868 when doubt arose about Georgia's eligibility to par ticipate in the electoral voting. The congressional teller said on that occasion the required major ity would be lower if Georgia were not counted in. hut he said the total showed that whether counted in or out, U. S. Grant was still elected. Bonnio Dollar's bath again witn exciting news about extra savings for you!

I & Heel of Round Roast Boneless "CHOICE" Vicar Incurs Village Anger IF1ELD, England (AP) - Dark goings on among the gods of an cient Greece have roused the wrath of Ifield's mortals. The vicar is in the middle of the rumpus rocking this normally peaceful Sussex village. Disapproving whispers started stter the Rev. Alan Williams or ganized an amateur village play about ancient Greece. The play is "Amphitryon 3" by the Frenchman Jean Girau doux. The villagers say it's too sexy; (he vicar says it isn't. In the play the god Jupiter as iumes tlie guise of Amphitryon, mortal, and seduces his lovely wife Alkmena while he is away at the wars. The vicar plays the part of a Greek warrior, which is too muchi for some of the worthy women! of the parish. They have severelyj taken him to task for doing so.j Members of the parish church council spoke out Friday against the play. . i "It is just larded with sex, and double meanings," said one. The vicar called a conference t the Anglican vicarage to dis cuss the uproar. f After it was over he declared: "As far as I'm concerned the play Js moral and not in the least bit obscene or even suggestive."
