John F. Kennedy was elected
president of ' the TJnited States
on Tuesday, although the defin
ite outcome - see-sawed; until
about seven o'clock Wednesday
morning when political - fore
casters placed California, bonne.
state of Kennedy's opponent,
Richard Nixon, in the Demo -
cratic column, assuring Kennedy
of 296 electoral votes. The
popidar vote at this hour was
close, only 1 about 800,000 votes
separating the two candidates. .
Pre-election pollsters . justified
their 1 predictions Concerning the
popular vote with Kennedy re
ceiving about 51 per cent to Nix
on's 49 per cent. However, there
was a - wider, division for the
electoral vote. Kennedy's vic
tories in New York, t New Jer
sey, ' Pennsylvania and Texas;
plus , a ; better . than expected
showing in the South, were de
ciding factors in the final out
come. ?
Nixon's strongholds included
most -of the states of the Mid
West and Western areas; except
ing his home state of California.
He did less, well than President
Eisenhower ' among Southern
states. .1 Early Wednesday morn

"Can India withstand the pres

met with Prune Minister Nehru
and put the question to him.
: Our Seminar group had an ap
pointment with the Prime Min-i
ipter, and when we were usher
