Stevenson has continued to 'score some gains in recent weeks. A George Gallup national poll covering interviews through last Monday reported the Republican President leading his Democrat ic rival 55 per cent to 45 per cent. A national ’’Man in the Street”! poll by Kenneth Fink, another professional poller, gave this result: Kisenhower 54 per cent; Stevenson 46 per cent. Most ofp the latest available straws were taken before the Israeli invasion of Egypt last week and the subsequent British- French attack on Egypt. They do not indicate, there fore, just what effect the hos- ! ti lilies might have upon the elec-| tion. Since the hostilities broke out, some newspapers have made surveys, as distinct from polls, in an attempt to find out. The New York Times said its; correspondents in a dozen cities; Republicans Have Only Outside Chance To Get Control of Congress This Year Poll takers, politicians and election analysts across the coun try now are reaching a conclu sion that astonishes even them selves. These analysts report that the| voting of November 6 may sim ultaneously elect a Republican | Election Issue Because of the importance of (and interest in the general' elections, the Chapel liill j Weekly today makes a sincere ! effort to apprise its readers ( of the issues and personalities ! / involved. ; I The Weekly is indebted to j the New York Times, the New j York Herald-Tribune, the As- ! sociated Press, the U. S. News and World Report and various other sources for its pre a <> tation. j $4,200 Chest Contributions Reported "If everybody continues to increase his or her contribution by 25 per cent more than they gave last year, the $27,937.57 Chapel Hill Community Chest goal will he reached this year,” Walt Baucoin, chairman of the local fund raising campaign, said yestei day. With only 116 of the 704 solicitors reporting, Mr. Baucoin said yesterday that $4,233,08 of the goal had been collected. A lot more has been collected but the solicitors are waiting j to see all of the people in their area before they make any re port, hc'added. All of the solicitors who have completed their col lections are in the advances and residential divisions of the cam paign. Mr. Baucoin pointed out that a lot of contributors are in creasing their donations by 25 per cent over last year’s. If this continues Chapel Hill has an “excellent chance of reaching its Community Chest goal 4hi.-, time.” he added. Business Will Be (iood Regardless Among hankers from all parts of the nation, meeting in Cali fornia, there turned out to be nearly unanimous agrement on these points. Regardless of the election outcome: Business is going to be good again in 1957, probably as good as in 1956, or better. No sign of a real recession is in sight. The boom in spending by busi ness for new buildings and equip ment is unlikely to be slowed by any scarcity of money. Plenty of money will be avail able to finance the sale of 1957- model cars. Installment loans are very profitable and are not likely to be checked in any dras tic way by policies of the Federal Reserve Board. Real estate, however, is facing some squeeze bcause of the scar city of, and high -cost of, mort gage money. It ia mos-e difficult to sell new or old houses than it was.

Bond President, League of Women Voters How does one vote a split-ticket or write-in a candidate in the general election today ? hirst, the split-ticket. The regulations for voting a split-ticket in North Carolina have been changed, and the simplest ex planation is contained in the instructions on every ballot. But first the ballot itself. The ballot for state offices will contain the names of the candidates arranged in columns by party, with a voting square to the left of each name. The party name will appear at the head of each column, and a circle one half inch in diameter appears beneath each party name. Now, the instructions which will be printed at the top of the ballot: "To vote a straight party ticket, make a cross (X) mark in the circle of the party you desire to vote for.” "To vote a split ticket, or in other words for candidates of different parties, omit making a cross (X) mark in the party circle at the top of the ballot and mark in the voting square opposite the name of each candidate on the ballot for whom you wish to vote.” "If you should mark in the party circle at the top of the ballot and also mark opposite the name of any candidate of any party, such ballot shall be counted as a straight party vote for all of the candidates of the party whose name the cross (X) mark is placed in the party circle.” Now, for write-in voting. The Institute of Government Guide book for election officials gives the prcedure clearly. It follows: "If the voter desires to vote in a general election for a person whose name di>es not appear in the ticket, he must strike out one of the names printed on the ballot as candidates for the particular office, and then, in the space below the deleted name, the voter must write the name of the person for whom he desires to cast his vote for that office. To the left of the name written in the voter must insert a cross mark or similar clear mark to indicate that he has cast his vote for the name written in.” General Election Polling Places The five Chapel Hill precincts and their boundaries and polling places, are as follows: Precinct 1 at Town Hall; bounded by West Franklin St., and Airport Road. Precinct 2 at Presbyterian stu dent hut back of Telephone Kx ehange; bounded by East Frank lin St., Durham Road, South Co lumbia St. to North St., and Air port Road.

Stevenson The Democratic Nominee for president—Adlai Ewing Steven son of Illinois—gained national prominence for the first time in 11)52 when he opposed Dwight I). Eisenhower for the presidency of the United States. The 1956 Democratic Conven tion renominated Stevenson for Presidents--over die-hard opposi tion of Harry Truman—as the man party leaders figured could best hold together warring North ern and Southern wings of the party on the explosive “civil rights” iafcue. The Democratic nominee is 66 years old, a lawyer by profession, a millionaire by inheritance. He has substantial holdings in industrial stocks and bonds, city real estate, and farm properties, some of which he owns in common with his sister. He also owns a one-quarter interest in the Bloomington (111.) Pantagraph, a prosperous Mid western daily newspaper, which haa provided Stevenson with a main source of income through out his life. Although he is in the million aire class, he has a repuatation for being a close man with a buck. Before dinner, he likes a bour (Continued on page 7) $4 a Year in County; other rates on page 2 Iterest in national politics is high. On the national level, the choice!

Betting Odds 4-1 For Ike to Win The North Carolina daily newspapers that we get have not been giving the election betting odds. As we go to press Monday, the day before elec tion day, the latest New York 1 paper that we have gives the odds us I to I on Eisenhower. ! Stevenson is listed at 2 to 7. The betting odds have usual ly forecast the result of elec tions correctly, but not always. The most famous case of their being wrong was the Trutnan : Dewey contest in 1918. The ! odds favored Dewey; Truman won. Dwight D. Eisenhower When Dwight David Eisenhow • er attended the U.S. Military l Academy at West Point he was 1 older than most of the cadets in • his class. All along the line, he blossomed late in life, just as he was late ■ in getting through West Point. When he started, however, he rose fast. Eisenhower was still unknown to the general public when, at age 51, he was first named to command American forces being sent to England early in W'orld War 11. When he first entered politics •nd was elected President in 1952, he was 62 years old. Now, at age 66, he is seeking another four-year term in this White House. 1 He was born Oct. 14, 1890, at Denison, Tex., the eon of David Jacob and Ida Elizabeth (Stover) Eisenhower. Two years later, the family moved to Abilene, Kens. 1 In 1916 he was married to ‘ Mamie Geneva Doud, and from ’ that union is one son, Maj. John Eisenhower. When General Eisenhower re -1 turned from Europe at the end i of World War 11, he thought his public career was over. But, in ■ 1948, he was appointed to the (Continued on Page 8) TUESDAY ISSUE N«xt Issue Friday and R. J. M. Hobbs and Donald M. Stanford for the Board of County Commissioners. Neither is there Republican opposition to J. E. Laws and Vernon G. Burch, Democratic 'candidates for constable in Hills (boro and Chapel Hill townships respectively. On the state level, the Republi cans have put up only 11 candi dates ’ against the Democratic list of 25. In the Sixth Congressional District, Rep. Carl T. Durham of Chapel Hill is without GOP opposition. And while there are 1 1 candidates under the Repub lican label, there is apparently no hope for them to come close to a victory because on the state level the vote will be over whelmingly Democratic. Only in the 10th District where Republi can Congressman Charles Jonas is being opposed by Democrat Ben E. Douglas is there much of a contest.
