Kennedys Vote Margin Cut to 342,000 Votes WASHINGTON (UPI)-President-elect John F.

Kennedy's popular vote margin over Vice President Richard M. Nixon in last Tuesday's election was the smallest in any presidential contest in 72 years. With a record 67,799,789 votes counted to date, the UPI tabulation gave Kennedy a lead of 342,624 over Nixon. That's the smallest margin since 1888 when Grover Cleveland outpolled Benjamin Harrison by 90,728 popular votes but lost in the electoral column. Kennedy had 50.25 per cent of the two-party vote and Nixon 49.75 per cent.

This was the closest percentage margin since 1884 when Cleveland defeated James G. Blaine by 29,314 votes, or 50.15 to 49.85 per cent. In electoral votes, Kennedy's victory was either the closest since 1948 when Harry S. Truman won with 303, which was 37 more than a bare majority, or since 1916 when Woodrow Wilson won with 27711 more than a bare majority. It depends on just what Kennedy's final electoral tally is.

7-Year-Old Is Molested by Stranger CHICAGO (UPI)-A pipe-smok- ing stranger abducted a 7-year-old girl, sexually molested her, and left her fleeing for her life Tuesday in the same woods where the murdered bodies of three boys were discovered five years ago. Tuesday's kidnap on Chicago's Northwest Side was practically a carbon copy of the abduction slaying four days ago of 9-year-old Gloria Kowalewicz in southwest Chicago. There was one merciful differ ence between the two cases. Gloria was shot to death with two bullets in the head in a Southwest Side forest preserve. Tuesday's young victim broke away from her tormentor and was found, wailing her fright but alive, by a cab driver in the Northwest Side Robinson's Woods.

The special police detachment which had been searching for Gloria's killer was assigned to the new case with orders to see if there was any connection between the two crimes against children. The policemen and assisting Forest Rangers already had a description of the abductor from the victim and neighbors a man about 35 years old, with greying hair, a moustache, glasses, and smoking a pipe. He wore blue jeans and a brown jacket and drove an old black or blue car. inet soot for the governor. Ribicoff's name figures fre quently in speculation over Ken nedy's choice for attorney general.

But the governor said: "I ask for no iob nor do I seek any. I never have." Did that mean he would decline one? Ribicoff grinned and replied that it would be foolish of him to make any statement until one was proffered. "I would say." he said, "that at this time it would be proper to say none was proffered." MORSE URGES KENNEDY TO CHANGE U.N. POLICY UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JPl) Sen.

Wayne Morse, said Tuesday he had recommend ed that President-elect John Kennedy meet with the U.S. dele gation here after his Florida vacation to discuss "certain changes" in American U.N. policy. Morse, a member of the U.S. delegation, said he had "been in contact" with Kennedy since the election and they had discussed several "distressing" aspects of American policy at this crucial 15th General Assembly session.

Morse first told this correspond ent Kennedy would come here but issued a statement later saying "I do not and did not" speak for Kennedy and that he had only "written my views to him as to the desirability of such a briefing."

Plan Action on Deficit Ike Seeks Balance in Foreign Payments AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) President Eisenhower Tuesday approved a decision ordering government departments and agencies to take new action to reduce the nation's mounting deficit in balance of payments. The President announced he would issue a special new directive on this problem within the next 48 hours. Eisenhower made known his de cision after a 2'i hour conference his vacation headquarters with his Secretaries of the Treasury and Defense.

The deficit for 1960 now looks as if it could possibly approach last year's figures," said Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson after the meeting. In 1959 this deficit totaled some $3.8 billion. The figure represents the gap between the amount of money the United States earns in overseas transactions and the amount it spends. This gap is one of the key rea sons there has been an increasing flow of gold out of the United States in the past two years.

Eisenhower did not spell out the action he would direct government departments and agencies to adopt to ease the problem. He said he would issue "a paper" outlining the problem. "It will contain directives to the government departments and agencies for action which they can take within the sphere of U.S. governmental activity to contribute to the reduction of the deficit In our balance of payments," Anderson said. California Big Gainer for Defense Spmoza Warns That American 'Lethargy May Help Cubans By FRANCIS L.

McCARTHY UPI Latin American News Editor Three Central American nations now engaged in mopping up what they called Cuban or Communist- inspired invasion forces, looked to the United States Tuesday to defend, them against further aggression. Nicaragua warned the United States that unless it casts off its "lethargy," it might awaken some day to a Red Central Amer ica. President Luis A. Somoza said Cuba has been ordered by Moscow to conquer Central Amer ica to bring about Communist control of the Panama Canal. Guatemala said it fears a di rect Cuban invasion in the wake of the collapse of Sunday's revolt movement and asked the Ameri- can Navy to patrol its Caribbean coastline.

President Miguel Ydi goras Fuentes said the last rebel core of resistance is at the Carib bean port of Puerto Barrios, and that Cuba might seek to aid Costa Rica, with only a small civil guard to defend itself, wenti fied the forces which crossed its soil to attack Nicaragua as Cuban and made no secret of its un- happiness at being made a pawn in a Castro power play. Cuba to Blame: Guatemala Only Guatemala, however, made a formal political issue of its charge that Cuba inspired the week-end's apparently coordinated Central American revolt movements. It called on the Organiza tion of-American States to take drastic action" to resolve the situation. This was the three-nation situa tion Tuesday: Guatemala The government threatened drastic reprisals, per haps a renewal of air bombardment, if rebels under army siege at Puerto Barrios execute two air force pilots as they have threatened. Foot soldiers used flamethrowers and rockets to attack entrenched die-hard rebels.

All other rebel activity hasf ended. Nicaragua The government said "Castro no longer constitute an organized threat. Tank-led troops pursued an estimated 54 rebels seeking to flee the country in disorganized groups. The government said 80 rebels have been killed or captured so far and that about 70 citizens have been rounded up as revolt, suspects. Government casualties in the week-end fighting included nine dead and seven wounded in one town alone.

Costa Rica The government was reported to have deported to the United States the first of some 10 political prisoners ac cused of direct or indirect participation in the most recent effort to use Costa Rica as a base for invasion of Nicaragua. Persons Capsule Is Located Mace-B 'Hot HoIdV Test Also Success CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) The Air Force fired an Atlas missile 5,000 miles Tuesday and recovered a data capsule that ejected from its nose cone and parachuted into the sea. Later, a Mace-B guided missile was launched on a test flight after standing on its pad in a "hot hold" ready-to-fire status for more than 31 hours. The Atlas thundered to a bulls-eye off the South Atlantic island of Ascension, covering the distance in 25 minutes at a peak speed of more than 17,000 miles an hour.

The 30-inch cylindrical capsule plunked into the water and two hours later was retrieved by the ocean range vessel Timber Hitch. The capsule was crammed with Instruments and a tiny tape recorder to determine how the V2 ton cone survived the jolting journey. The cone was coated with improved materials designed to afford better protection for hydrogen warheads carried on opera-'tional Atlases like those now stationed at bases in California and Wyoming. XI5 FLOWN AT 2,000 MPH BY CROSSFIELD EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI) A powerful new space engine was used for the first time Tuesday on a successful flight of the X15 in a major step toward rocketing man more than 100 miles above the earth.

Test pilot Scott Crossfield predicted the X15, as half rocket ship and half airplane, would go "high er and faster" than its goal of 100 miles at speeds up to 4,000 miles an hour. "I think the X15 will exceed its expectations I think it will go higher and faster than it was de signed to do," Crossfield told re porters after his 10-minute flight over this desert base. The thrust engine boosted the sub-winged X15 80,000 feet high at speeds of nearly 2,000 miles an hour. Banquet cheaper, and a school board which bought European typewriters for the same reason. Blaylock said the answer to students who believed the government owed them a living was "the government does not owe them a living but an opportunity get a job and work and work and work."

Sex Deviates Checked in Murder Case PAULDING, Ohio (UPI)-Law enforcement authorities Tuesday checked all known sex criminals in the search for the man who seized 14 year old Nancy Eagleson, raped her, then shot her in the face. Sheriff John Keeler said he was convinced the slaying was the work of a sex maniac. He called on all sheriff's offices in this sparsely populated western Ohio area and in nearby Indiana to be on the lookout for strangers.

The FBI has been contacted but has not entered the case. Keeler spent the day talking to residents of this village of 2,300 persons. He wanted to know if any of them saw the man who offered Nancy and her 5-year-old sister, Sherrill, a ride Sunday night as they were walking home from a movie. Sherrill fled when the stranger dragged her sister into his car after they had refused a lift. She said the car was light-colored and the driver wore glasses.

Leaves on the ground in the re mote wooded area where the kill er raped his victim, then shot her several times in the face with small-caliber pistol obscured any trace of tire tracks. But the sheriff said the best lead he had was the description of the car driven by the killer.

Farm ers from this section of Indiana attended not only to give special recognition to the livestock breeders of the future, in this case outstanding 4-H junior leaders and judges, but also to recognize Gold Medal Calf Award winners and Premium Dairy Awards.

A nostalgic note was added to the program by Reed Shafer who introduced the speaker. He re called the early days of the asso- ciation and many local men who fostered the group in the early Twenties. Among these was Or ville Russell, the father of the current president of the associa tion, Charles O. Russell, who attended and was presented an orchid to pin on Mrs. Russell.

Five other members who attended the first annual banquet in 1924 were asked to stand. Missing from the affair this year, the first time in many, was Dr. Will Moore, who has always served as master of ceremonies. Taking his place was Adam Rig-gin, vice president of the group. Bryan BlaylocX of Marshall, was the speaker and besides keeping the audience in gales of laughter he also struck an opti mistic note for the future.

Calling the farmer the most independent persons in the world, Blaylock warned the farmer was nearer socialization than any other per son in America today. "God help us if they put the fruit and vegetables under government control. American farmers are tired of all this control and want to be as free as is possible under the existing circumstances.

Khrushchev was reported an xious to establish friendly relations with Kennedy as shown by his quick cable of congratulations and the warmth with which the Soviet press and radio reported news of Kennedy's election.

Decision Not Final Tuesday's reports stressed that no final decision appears to have been taken. The sources first reported more than a month ago there were strong indications in Moscow of an indefinite delay in the trial of the two Americans on espionage charges. The West Berlin newspaper Telegraph reported Tuesday ru mors in Moscow that U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers might be released, but there was no mention of this in the diplomatic reports received here thus far. The two RB47, fliers in Soviet custody are Capt. Freeman B.

Olmstead, the co-pilot, 24, of El- mira, N.Y., and Capt. John R. McCone, 28, the navigator, of Tonganoxie, Okla. They have refused to admit they were on any thing other than a weather reconnaissance mission as claimed by the United States. Four men were killed when the RB47 was shot down by Russian fighter planes but only one body was recovered, that of Capt.

Willard G. Palm of Oak Ridge, which was returned to the United States for burial. In Washington, State Department officials said they have heard "rumors and speculation" the two fliers may be released but have no solid reports backing it up. One official called Moscow a "rumor mill" and said there were similar rumors during the presidential campaign but it "is impossible to tell whether the rumors are true." Russia has not even permitted U.S. Embassy officials to interview the men.

Dropping one seat apiece will be Alabama, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska and West Virginia. The number of losses exceeds the number of gains because the House currently has 437 members instead of the usual 435.

Two ex tra seats were granted to Alaska and Hawaii after they obtained statehood. The number will revert to 435 after the reapportionment. STATE GAIN NOT ENOUGH FOR ADDED CONGRESSMAN WASHINGTON (AP) Indiana advanced from 12th to 11th among the states in the 1960 census, but congressional reallotments Will leave the state with 11 House seats. Although Indiana's population rose from 3,934,224 in 1950 to 4,. 662,498 this year, the 18.5 per cent gain exactly matched the nationwide growth.

That means the state's share is still only 11 of 435 House seats. Indiana passed Missouri and North Carolina in population but booming Florida zoomed into 10th. place, earning 12 House seats instead of its present 8. North Carolina's House delegation will drop from 12 to 11 and Missouri's from 11 to 10. Indiana's final population is greater than that announced in a preliminary census report in August.

Ohio and Michigan will gain one House seat each, while Illinois and Kentuucky each will lose one. The reallotment will mean roughly one congressman for each 412,000 Hoosier citizens.

1 "You just can't lose in the 10 golden years ahead of us," he said and cited figures to prove his point showing how many more persons would be born, how many more jobs created to house them, and to provide them with cars and other necessities. But the speaker struck a note ot warning and said there was one thing that could cause us to lose and that is by the people going soft. He gave examples of current popular attitudes empba sizing the continual "something for nothing" or "the government will take care of us." "The schools seem to reinforce this attitude, he said, and told of a student survey which showed them wanting free bus rides, free meals, free medical care and many other services. 'There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone has to pay for it and it is at the taxpayers' expense.

It is the hand-out as compared to work," he said.

After a district meeting here, Roush indicated his attorneys would serve notice against Cham bers within 30 days. The Republi- (Earlier story on Page 7) can 5th District victor would then have 40 days to present the House with proof of his election. The of ficial vote gave Chambers 106,882, Roush 106,870. Under this move, each would present evidence to the House showing recounts in any or all counties, presumably in his favor.

The House then would decide who the 5th District representative is. With the 70 days required in the legal steps, it is possible Congress could convene in Jan uary with no representative from the Hoosier 5th District.

Each state which picks up or loses House seats also will gain or lose the same number of votes in the Electoral College, which formally selects the president.

Each state's vote in the electoral college is the sum of its Senate and House members. The 1960 presidential vote won't be affected. The changes will not go into effect until the congres sional elections of November 1962. On the basis of final tabulations, the department said the 50 states had a population of 179,323,175 on April 1 the date of the house-to- house census. This represented a gain of 18.5 per cent over the 1950 total of 151,325,798.

The count did not include Amer icans stationed or living abroad, such as servicemen and depend ents, embassy personnel, and pri vate businessmen. If these were added, officials said, the total would exceed 180 million. The principal purpose of the once a-decade census is to determine how many House seats, and electoral votes, each state shall have. These are allotted according to population. On the basis of the 1960 count.

House seats will be reapportioned starting with the 88th Congress which will be elected in November 1962. California will be the biggest gainer in the realignment, picking up eight seats. Florida will gain four seats and the following states will gain one each: Arizona, Ha- Deputy NEW ORLEANS (UPI)-Police Tuesday arrested at least 17 persons, including a deputy sheriff, for rushing around a barricade, demonstrating and throwing an egg at two formerly all white schools that four Negro girls are attending for the first time in New The girls, all 8, went safely to their second day of classes under a heavy protective guard of U.S. deputy marshals and New Orleans police.
