Russian Editor Complains US Elections Complicated
A Soviet editor from Izvestia criticizes American elections as too complex with many candidates and two major parties effectively monopolizing the process. He notes police at polling places and contrasts U.S. practice with one party, one slate in the USSR. He also quotes hopes for peace and better Soviet-U.S. relations. Texas roads bids and local notices follow with multiple local names and charges.
