18 Year Old Vote High In Primary
In Maryland the first election open to voters under 21 showed youth taking the franchise seriously. About 35 percent of 18 to 20 year olds voted, compared with 17 percent of voters over 21. 3.3 percent of the total vote came from the under 21 group. Voter registration issues and college absences limited turnout among youths, while Worcester and Wicomico counties saw the highest youth participation. Local officials noted registration barriers and upcoming changes to absentee registration.

Mandel Plans Anti-Smut Campaign in Maryland
Governor Mandel, prompted by a mother who sent a graphic obscene ad, urged public opposition and requested postal authorities, Maryland's senators, and eight congressmen to push for stricter mail controls on obscene advertisements. He urged residents to refuse such mail and to seek federal action, noting current law allows refusal forms at the post office. A separate Philippines note reports Eloi Lopes, a 40-year dentist, arrested in Sao Paulo for practicing dentistry without a diploma.
