The piece argues for a counting board to accelerate vote tallies. It cites Los Angeles County's slow presidential count, urges behind the scenes preclose counting, and notes legislation would be needed. The method is presented as proven elsewhere and faster than current practices.
A critical reflection on U S spending shows concern over gold outflows while the GAO reports duplicate defense purchases. The Air Force bought 63 trucks for 365000 dollars and the Army held over 500 unused units. The GAO suggests sourcing 176 more trucks from the Army to save about 300000 dollars.
A newspaper notes its earlier scoffing at polls narrowing margins was misplaced. It apologizes for one or two polls, cites a California pollster who predicted Kennedy would win, and acknowledges his small margin of error. The piece argues polling value lies in forecast accuracy and deems polls invalid if wrong.
The article notes cautious Bonn stance on American requests, asserting the Kennedy administration will adopt Eisenhower proposals. It reports U S pressure to turn the tide of gold, Western Europe’s shock, and internal U S debates over policy shifts. Possible congressional action could trigger German business concerns and protectionist tariff laws.
The piece notes Tresselegram measures partial embargo travel restrictions and duty free limits that could hurt German interests more than the small aid sought by the United States for troops upkeep in West Germany. It cites Adenauer’s election pressure and Eisenhower's sense of urgency as Anderson meets Johnson and Fulbright in Paris to discuss relief from U.S. payments.
Foreign press sees Kennedy’s firm Berlin stance as shaping tense moments with Khrushchev. Berlin’s risk and pride illuminate American responsibility, while Kennedy’s interview underscores resolve to defend Berlin as essential to Western security.
Sacramento reports a transportation committee proposal to raise motor vehicle registration fees to over 66 million dollars yearly. A minimum in lieu tax could rise by one dollar and renewal fees by one percent, averaging a seven dollar increase per vehicle and potentially up to forty dollars for late model cars. The plan, if enacted by the legislature and approved by Gov. Brown, targets urban and highway funding while raising concerns about over taxation of motorists.
Readers argue over post office subsidies and the Lakewood Center land offer, praising Councilman Burns and criticizing opponents. A second letter urges praise over condemnation of the new auditorium annex, defending public use buildings as community benefits and asking why Paul Wilcox is angry.
Pedestrians are more likely to disregard stop signs than motorists. The piece mocks social pretensions and political vanity with a collage of quips about holidays, sports, and public life, mentioning Cuba tourism and a post season alumni note from a school with unpaid players.
