Four Governor
Races Will Be
Up for a Recount
WASHINGTON UP — Thousands :
of dollars apparently must be
spent and millions of votes re
counted to determine at least three
governors and one senator. And
another gubernatorial race is so
close it may go to a recount.
With the election 13 days old,
residents of Massachusetts, Maine,
Minnesota and Rhode Island still j
don't know for sure who their 1
next governor will be. The same ,
applies to a Senate seat in South
Dakota. I
The latest figures show: ,
Massachusetts: Democrat Endi- | (
cott Peabody won the official j
count 1,051,653 to 1,048,562 for j
Republican Gov. John Volpe, a !
margin of 3,091 votes. Volpe is'
seeking a recount.
Maine: Republican Gov. John
Reed won re-election by 621 votes
over Democrat Maynard Dolloff.
But Dolloff has filed for a re
count of the official tabulation
which gave him 146,121 votes to
Reed’s 146,742.
Minnesota: Democratic Lt. Gov.
Karl Rolvagg held a 98-vote lead
over Republican Gov. Elmer An- !
dersen as an official canvass of the '
votes neared the end. The loser j
probably will ask for a recount. !
Rhode Island: Republican chal
lenger John Chafee held a 132
vote lead over Democratic Gov.
John Note Jr. in the canvass with
the outcome hinging on more than
7,000 absentee ballots that will be
counted this week.
South Dakota: Democrat George
McGovern picked up a few votes
in the official canvass Friday to
move 223 votes ahead of Repub
lican Sen. Joe Bottum, who was
working on petitions for a re
count.

nerals because of a belief that the
souls of the dead resided in them.

Canada’s 12-Sided
Nickel on Its Way Out
OTTAWA tfi — Canada’s 12
sided nickel is on the way out.
A proclamation in the Canada
Gazette announced Saturday that
the Royal Canadian Mint will re
turn to production of the rounded
five-cent nickel coin, effective
Jan. 2.
The Canadian nickel has had 12
sides since 1943, when the govern
ment changed the composition of
the coin to conserve nickel, a
strategic wartime metal.
N. A. Parker master of the
mint, said the change is being
made for two reasons—complaints
that the 12-sided coin sticks in
vending machines, and “it’s cheap
er to make the round version.”

who were, or had been, in her

etching of President Roosevelt by

To her son John, Mrs. Roosevelt
left the furnishings and other
property in her Hyde Park cot

the time of her death, Mrs. Roose
velt bequeathed $100 for each
year of service with a maximum
of $1,000 “unless such person shall
have been a secretary to me, in
which event the limitation is
$2,000.
After distribution of all speci
fied bequests Mrs. Roosevelt in
structed her trustees — her sons
and her attorney, Henry Hooker
— to invest the remainder of her

Sunrise ;it Campo’tello
Featured at Nomerama
After Miss Carson won tile co
veted role of Eleanor Roosevelt in
"Sunrise at Campobcllo,” she told
an interviewer: “From now on, I
am going to study the Roosevelt
family, and especially Mrs. FDR,
for whom 1 have always had a tre
mendous admiration."
Besides reading every available
book about Mrs. Roosevelt, the
actress studied photographs, listen
ed to recordings, viewed newsreel
clips and talked in person with
the former First Lady. Moreover,
M ss Carson had a head start in
getting "into" the character she
was to play, because, like Mrs.
Roosevelt, she h a s boundless
energy and an outgoing interest
in everyone she meets. Roth are
devoted to charitable and civic en
terprises.
In the film, Miss Carson stars
opposite Ralph Bellamy, who re
creates his award-winning stage
role as Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Scharv wrote and produced the
film, which, like the play, was di
rected by Vincent Donehue.
Born in Ireland and reared in
England, Miss Carson studied to
be a teacher, graduated with hon
ors from the University of London
and studied in France, After a
number of London stage successes,
she was brought to Hollywood and
spent an inactive year there before
being cast in “Goodbye, Mr.
Chips"—which was filmed in Eng
land.

Sitka Cif.v Count?’ Finds
Has No Power Over
Public’ Service Commission
SITKA (T - Members of the
city council found Friday after
noon, somewhat to their dismay,
the eity charter gave them no
power over the Public Safety
Commission or their actions.
Only the mayor, tile charter
states, can appoint or remove
their members in each case with
tile consent of the council. How
ever, the council cannot initiate
any such action and Mayor .John
O'Connell refused to do so at this
time.
Last week the PSC dimisscd
Burt Finley, chief of police, as
the climax to a local controversy.
Anion;; reasons given for dismis
sal was his inability to run the
department.
Finley, pointing out when lie
had fired a patrolman, he had
been informed by the PSC to re
instate him, appealed for a hear
ing. He also asked the grounds
on which the PSC dismissed him
be made public. To date the PSC
has taken no action on either re
quest.
Mayor O'Connell, lashing out at
"this intense campaign of under
cutting, vilification, rumor mon
gering, backbiting and attempts
to embarass him (Finley),” stated
the intent of the city charter was
to take the police department out
of politics and any action against
the PSC would be doing what the
charter attempted to prevent.
So the firing of Finley by the
PSC stood. An unanswered ques
tion asked by the council and a
large number of citizens at a
special council meeting, is why
any board of commission is not
subject to the jurisdiction of the
elected members of the council.
