Campaigns Roar To Climax Across Nation As Tuesday Nears
VAf GTON (UPI) — The modest gains in the House The
1962 political campaign roared GOP would like to settle for an I
toward a noisy climax Saturday ' ev br!?k in the Scnate' j
The Democrats were fighting
with candidates scrambling for an eve break across thel
votes on the stump on television ' boardjn statcluuscs and in
and in the courts gress Their hopes were' brightest i
It will end Tuesday when about i r
50 million voters elect 35 gover-
nors 39 U S senators all 433
members of the national House of
Representatives and thousands of
state and local officials
Political barometers indicated
the Republican minority would)
capture some governorships from
in the Senate where they least i
need more strength I
Thirty-five of the nation's 50
governors will be elected Tues-j
day Of the 35 21 are now Demo- ’
ratic and 14 Republican j
Thirty-nine of the 100 senators
Democrats and perhaps make i will be elected including 34 for
regular six-year terms and five to
fill vacancies
Demos Have Margin
Tlie Democrats now hold a 64
to 36 margin in Senate Of the
seats at stake Tu ’ ty 21 are
now held by Democrats and 18 by
Republicans
In mid-term elections when the
White House is not at stake the J
minority party now the GOP
normally registers gains
However the Republicans have
stopped talking about what was
once declared their No 1 goal
gaining the 44 seats needed to
win control of the House Their j
forecasts now call for gains of 10
to 20 seats Democratic estimates
range from an even break to a
lass of 10 Democratic seats
Most forecasts have been j
hedged by uncertainty over the
possible effect of the Cuban mis-!
sile crisis on the voting I
In the House the Democrats
now hold 261 seats against 174!
for tlie Republicans There are
two vacant seats formerly held
by Democrats The House now
contains 437 scats because of the
temporary enlargement after
Alaska and Hawaii became states t
but it reverts to 435 next year
While no longer hopeful of con-1
trolling the House the GOP is !
making a massive assault on
Democratic strongholds in tlie
state thouses Some Republicans
are enjoying rosy dreas of a!
pickup of 10 governorships in-1
eluding those in such key states
as Pennsylvam Ohio Michigan
and California
In all of the heavily populat-
ed states the GOP now has gov-
ernors only in New York and
Massachusetts These big state:
are centers of power for presiden
tial election years like 1964 when
President Kennedy presumably
will be a candidate for reclection
Gov Nelson A Rockefeller of
New Yolk is heavily favored to
hold his state for the GOP ani
thereby enhance his chances for
winning tile Republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1964
California Contest
In California Richard M
Nixon 1960 presidential nominee
is the Republican candidate try-
ing to unseat Gov Edmund G
Pat) Brown is an unpredict-
able contest
Both parties in California were
battling in the courts to halt dis-'
tribution of literature allegedly
smearing the rival candidates for j
governor
A court battle also was under
way in Michigan where George'
Romney former compact car
maker is the Repi'dican candi-l
date trying to oust Democratic
Gov John B Swainson The liti-J
gation involved an honest elec-
tions committee which the Dem-
ocrats said was trying to intimi-
date voters )
The Pennsylvania c o n t e s 1 1
matched Rep William W Scran-
ton the GOP nominee against
Richardson D i 1 v r t h former
Democratic mayor of Philadel-
phia In Ohio Democratic Gov Mi-
chael V DiSalle was battling for
his political life against State
Auditor J nes A Rhodes
Republican victories in those
states would give the new gover-
nors great power in the GOP as
the parties arm themselvse for
1964 Nixon Ro- :ey and Scran-
ton all are viewed as possible
presidential candidates although
Nixon and Romney have ruled
themselves out for 1964

Bellmon DemandsTo Know
What New T ax Would Cover
OKLAHOMA CITY (SpcciaD-
A challenge for W P Bill At-
kinson Democratic gubernator-
ial nominee to tell the people
just what areas his proposed sales
tax hike will cover was issued
Saturday by Henry Bellmon Re-
publican nominee
“Is he going to list tax excm-
claimed by India They estimated ption of haircuts hairdos farm
at lea-t loooa in or behind To-
wang and another in Quo or more
facing Walot g near the Burmese
border
Hie sources said they believed
another full corps of two or more
divisions (about JodoO men) were
poised inside Tibet just aliove the
tiny Himalavan state of Sikkim
machinery and newspapers?"
Bellmon nsked
“I want him to toll the people
just what his tax plan will cover"
Bellmon added during a x)ieoch
at Hobart on the final leg of a
12-county tour through south-
western Oklahoma
Bellmon started the tour Fri-
an Indian protectorate w Im h j day morning at Blanchard and
holds the most logical invasion wound up Satin day night at Beth
route from Tibet anv
Hiroughout tlie tour Bellmon
hammered across the point he
docs not feel the slate needs a
sales tax increase as proposed
by bis opi'oncnt He told the
various crowds “Oklahoma has
plenty of money but because
of wasteful practices the state
has not yet been able to pro-
vide residents with proper ser-
vices highways and education"
Quoting from a ncwspaiier
article Bellmon said even Ray-
mond Gary former governor
and unsuccessful Democratic pri-
mary candidate this year also
thinks the sales tax incrca-4 is
unnecessary
“We are not going to raise
taxes Hic-c newspaper adver-
tisements which say we plan
to cut hack old age pension clunks
do away with homestead exemp-
tion and hold mass firings arc
falsehoods" Bellmon said at
each stop
“I will go even further" Bell-
mon said "and say that as gov-
ernor I will veto any bills which
are aimed at raising taxes of
any kind"
In reference to a lapel sink-
er being circulated by Atkinson
supporters Bellmon said the let-
ters “BGM-VA" mean “Beat
Gary Machine— Vote Atkinson"
“He has already beaten Gary
and it's me he is running against
now" Bellmon said
“Why doesn't he wake up to
this fact?" Bellmon asked

JFK Aides
Study Cuba
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi-
dent Kennedy Saturday summoned
Adlai E Stevenson and other of
his top United Nations advisers fori
a report on negotiations now
underway to confirm the removal
of Soviet missiles from Cuba
The White House said Kennedy
would meet with Ambassador
Stevenson John J McCloy head
of the three-man committee over-
seeing UN negotiations on the
dismantling of the missile sites
and Charles Yo-t alternate US
delegate to tlie United Nations
Press Secretary Pierre Salinger
said tlie conference did not indi-
cate any new turn of events
The crisis apparently was still
at the point Kennedy described it
Friday night: “Progress is now
being made towards the restora-
tion of peace in the Caribbean"
But until it is resolved the US
naval blockade of Cuba and aerial
reconnaissance of the base sites
will continue
Salinger said the executive com-
mittee of the National Securi
Council which met with Kennedy
Saturday morning decided it would
be useful to hear a report from
the President's UN representa-
tives U Thant acting UN secretary
general was pressing efforts to
arrange the kind of inspection

mantly insist are necessary to
avoid a repetition of events which! A'teml? aK slimmcd m°

Saturday morning after his car
collided with a Rock Island

Voters of this area ond throughout the state will go to
the polls Tuesday ond elect various nominees to serve dur-
ing the next various terms of office
The campaigns this yecr have been rugged ond some-
times bitter
We as citizens should be grateful that we can support
the candidates of our choice
The Chickasha Daily Express some weeks ago in the
key gubernatorial race selected a candidate to support
The selection was made on the basis of Dlatforms and is-
sues The endorsement was for W P Bill Atkinson the
Democratic nominee because we felt his program was
best suited for this area and the state in general
The Express assigned two men from our Express Cap-
itol Bureau to cover each of the candidates during the crit-
ical periods of this election year in order to present in the
fairest fashion the campaigns of the candidates
We feel this approach in news coverage is fair
After this long general election battle which has had
the Democratic and Republican nominees under the glare
of publicity we still feel the best opportunity for growth
in industry ond business is with the program of the Dem-
ocratic nominee W P Bill Atkinson
Cities ond towns in this area need industry and business-
es We need support and assistance for our college
schools highways and other requirements Wc need to
grow and we will with our Democratic members of the' v
legislature and a Democratic governor
No doubt we may not always agree with them but by
i the some token they may not always agree with us The
j tax program which will be submitted by Atkinson will have
I to be approved by our legislators before if could toke
effect
But there is one subject on which every citizen in this
i county area and state will agree and that is everyone
should and must exercise his right and duty to vote
I We urge everyone to vote

substantial signs of possihl
things to come on tlie economic
front
The program of Atkinson would
help Grady County in many fields
including highways schools col-
leges old age pensioners and new
industry
Bellmon's no tax increase might
cut some of these areas of serv-
ice but the sales tax issue would
be a dead duck Unless of
course Bellmon discovered more
funds were needed and if he
did he certainly would not go
for a sale tax He would have
j to find other nreas of taxation
However Bellmon has said ab-
solutely no tax increase so tlie
economies woutj hinge on elimi-
nation of gnvcrmTvuta! services'
If his search for waste graft
nnd corruption doesn't turn up
a real substantia! amount of
money there will be some real
interesting and stormy prob-
lems ahead
On a statewide basis the elec-
tion picture is muddled and other
than a general strong surge of
Democratic activity it is diffi-
cult to detect any d"fimte trend
Basically the race still hinges
on wliether or not the Demo-
crats have moved fast enough
during the pat 10 duvs to teach
their objective
At tlie present time the IVmo-
crat are iilmut even or shghtly
