PAGE-4 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Fa If, Oregon Wednesday, November 13, 1S63 Commission Seeking Answers To Apathy In I960 Election WASHINGTON (UPI) - Was It apathy, economics, out-dated vol fno laws or iust plain laziness that kept 37.5 million Americans away from the polls in the JSW presidential elections? A report being drafted by the President's Commission on Regis tration and Voting Participation hopes to answer this question nest month. The commission has been studying the phenomenon of the non-voting citizen for the past seven months. It will present its imdings to President Kennedy Nov. 30. It has discovered, among other things, that the greatest percentage of non-voters is in the 21-to-30 year age bracket and that Sundays or holidays, when the average voter Is free, might be the best days to hold elections. Kennedy, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and many national leaders were deeply con cerned by tlie fact that only 65 per cent of the electorate voted in ldfiO and only 48 per cent went to the polls in die congressional tests last year. Although slightly better than the 1956 presidential election turnout, political experts said the voting percentages seemed to in dicate that Indifference has per meated the electorate over the past few decades. Between 1!M0 and I960, eleven states recorded decreases in the number of eligible voters who actually went to the polls. In contrast to the U.S. voting record, tliere was a 90 per cent voting turn out in the Italian na tional elections this year and bet ter than 80 per cent averages in Great Britain. Austria and West Germany. 'And even the one-party Soviet Union reported a record 99.95 per cent turnout in its 1962 election for deputies to the Su preme Soviet (parliament). "Naturally, no free nation could ever hope to compete with the record of a totalitarian country,' Donald G. Herzberg, staff direc tor of Mr. Kennedy's commis sion, told UPI. "But in a nation, such as the United States, where the principles of democracy can only be sustained by an active and interested electorate, we should be able to do better." The commission has received countless letters, suggestions and complaints from citizens who have found voting impediments in their states. Unsolicited sug gestions have ranged from giving away "green stamps" to distrib uting "I-Have-Voted" buttons in an attempt to woo the American voter from his sliell of indiffer ence. In a review of state laws, the commission has found that one third of the slates require voters to register more than a month before a national election. Virgi nia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan sas and Texas still have poll taxes which must be paid any where from six months to two years before an election. Ala bama, South Carolina and Missis sippi require two years of resi dency before a person can vote, j Shop Downtown! Dine Downtown! Luncheon at the Winema is a real treat while shopping downtown.
