Eisenhower. TRAILS IN POPULAR VOTE As the tide of votes continued to flow in from outlying {vecincts, mainly in the West, Nixon actually trailed by 29,730,272 to 29,726,409 behind Democrat Hubert H.

Humphrey received 29,677,152 votes under the Democratic column plus 53,120 in Alabama where he was listed in a second ballot position. George C. Wallace received 9,291,807 votes. Absentee ballots held the decision after the unofficial count wound up with Packwood ahead by 2,433 votes, 395,574 to 393,141. In the House, the GOP gain was even smaller, a net of four in an election that saw only nine incumbents defeated, four in reapportioned districts where they were thrown in with other incumbents. 'The new House will have 24 3 Democrats and 192 Republicans. But conservative Southern Democrats could team with Rqniblicans on many issues in both houses to give Nixon the equivalent of a slim working majority,. County Vote Is a Record By JIM LONG A record was set in Tuesday’s election when an estimated 350,000 voters in Oakland County went to the polls to name their preferences for national, state and local offices. Official returns won’t be complete, however, until the canvass of the vote is finished- in two weeks, according to County Election Clerk Mabel Child. Preliminary totals, however, based on the vote received by the three major candidates for president show that 344,000 electors cast ballots. Totals for lesser candidates have not yet been tabulated. Even then, the unofficial returns. representing 84 per cent of those registered to vote in the county, is 41,000 more than the record high of 303,000 set four years ago in the presidential election. An indication of the interest shown in the election is noted in the fact that the turnout almost equaled the number of voters registered in Oakland County last April. An intense registration drive conducted by the Democratic and Republican parties and the unions added more than 60,000 new voters to the rolls between April and a month before the electiim to give the county about 409,000 qualified electors. The turnout in Pontiac and Waterfortl fell slightly below the percentage of registered voters on a countywide basis. In Pontiac, just less than 80 per cent, or 26,459 voters, of the 36,100 registered went to the polls. 82 PCI'. IN WATERFORD Waterford Township’s vote of 21,487 represented 82 per cent of the 27,139 persons who were registered to vote in the election. In Pontiac, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey outpolled Richard M. Nixon by about two to one, 14,843 to 7,616, with George Wallace, receiving 3,511 votes. VP's Comeback Already in Wind MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (AP) - Some Democratic leaders are already talking of a political comeback for Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey — as the 1970 candidate for the U.S. Senate seat Eugene J. McCarthy says he will not try to retain in the party. Speculation began almost as soon as his fight for the presidency was over, even as Humphrey left yesterday for his lakesidf home in Waverly to spend a few days in seclusion with his family. Friends of the vice president say his commitment to the race for the White House was total and included no thought of defeat. And they say Humphrey has no plans for the future now. Many observers^ who have watched Humphrey as mayor of Minneapolis, senator and vice president expect him to run again for the U.S. Senate. In endorsing Humphrey for the presidency last week, McCarthy said he will not seek reelection to the seat as a Democrat. State party leaders say they expect him to bow out. Nixon, however, received the highest number of votes in Waterford Township, 10.175 compared to Humphrey’s 8,105 and Wallace’s 3,232. No where in Oakland County did Wallace receive more votes than Nixon or Humphrey. TOP WALLACE TOTAL The highest number of votes received by Wallace in one community was the 3,511 tallies in Pontiac. In R(Qral Oak, Wallace received 3,074, with Nixon getting the edge over Humphrey, 17,994 to 17,018.

George Romney would resign his office to accept a federal post in a Republican administration. Early Collision With Congress Likely Romney has consistently scoffed at newsmen who attempt to probe his feelings on the matter. He stated Wednesday that he “may or may not” become part of Nixon’s administration. Mansfield Vows Constructive Opposition WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite a pledge from ”’n3te Democratic leader Mike Mansfield to support Richard M. Nixon “when he is ri^t,” the incoming Republican president could collide early with the Still-Democratic Congress. A likely poinf of early contention could be the use of tax credits, rather than programs depending on appropriations, to finance social objectives. when he is right,” Mansfield told a reporter. “When we disagree, we’ll oppose not just for the sake of opposition seats and possibly five depending on the but will try to offer constructive outcome of the Oregon race where alternatives.” liberal Wayne Morse trails in a fight for Nixon, and the Republican platform, seats, but still winds up on the short end of 243-192 lineup in the House. In the Senate, Republicans gained four Another question remained what position, if any, Romney would be offered in coming weeks as Nixon screens individuals in selecting his cabinet. During his Wednesday press conference, Romney added that “if Nixon doesn’t pick the best possible cabinet he can pick, then my judgment of what he will do as president has been misplaced. NIXON WILL NEED HELP But Romney’s luster may have been tarnished by Nixon’s failure to carry Michigan in the presidential election and by the governor’s refusal to back him for the nomination following Romney’s withdrawal from the New Hampshire primary.. Lockwood was the first ranking state politician to support Nixon in his drive for the presidential nomination and directed the president-elect’s pre-am-vention state campaign. Lockwood also was floor manager for five states at the GOP National Convention in Miami. AMBASSADORSHIP If the president-elect attempted to extract his pound of flesh, sources said, Romney could be offered only a distant ambassadorship. Another ranking Michigan politician who could be considered for a LOCKWOOD UNHURT Unlike Romney, however. Lockwood was not hurt by Nixon’s failure to capture the state’s 21 electoral votes, sources said. Lockwood played only a small role in directing the statewide presidential campaign. Romney, in sedition to travelling to other states on behalf of the president-elect, was in charge of the state effort. political survival. Another test of both presidential and congressional intentions will come when the new, but not much-changed, Congress goes to work in January on the budget prepared by President Johnson. If he recommends full funding of the programs associated with his and the pre^Dus Democratic administration Instead of the pared-down appropriations Congress has voted in the past, Nixon will be under pressure to show quickly to what eactent he intends to economize. NET GAIN OF FOUR The GOP made a net gain of four Records of newly elected senators, however, in^cate that chamber may have ft slightly more conservative tone than in the 90th Congress where the Republican-Southern Democratic coalition was a major force. advocated tax credits especially for dealing with problems of the city poor and unemployed. Democrats in both chambers will continue to hold committee chairmanships. ‘CONSTRUCTIVE OPPOSITION’ Mar^field pledged Wednesday that the Senate’s Democratic majority Will not oppose Nixon’s recommendations to Congress “just for the sake of opposition.” “He’s the winner, the people have expressed their will,” Mansfield said. “We’ll give him our loyal support BOOST TO BUSINESS Rather than programs like the Democratic-inspired Job Corps, they would abate taxes for businesses willing to hire and train workers with low skills. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark., of the House Ways and Means Committee is an outspoken opponent of tax credits and in general of using the revenue to achieve nonfiscal purposes. “That is what he said he would do and that is what I think he needs. And he’s going to need plenty of help to deal with the problems both domestic and international,” he said. Shortly before beginning his fall campaign, Nixon said that he and Romney had “not discussed any specifics with regard to what he (Romney) would do” in a GOP administration.

The board is to meet Tuesday to consider a $25.8-million budget for which It has already approved a tax - spread which includes nonvoted sums beyond the 15-mill limitation.

In a letter mailed to all members of the board, he says: “I realize you will be He continues, “This is why 1 asked the rather naive questiqjp at the public hearing; “Why vote Iri spreading the taxes before voting on the budget’?

However, Oakland County is believed to be one of the few —if not the only county —in Michigan now exceeding the limitation. * ★ ★ A recent appellate court decision has been cited by Allen as proof that his theory is right. It is the case of Arthur C. Betz versus the Berrien County Building Authority * ★ The fact that the Court of Appeals held that Berrien County’s payments to a Building Authority for construction of new facilities did not create a present debt in excess of the statutory limits is cited by Daniel T. Murphy, chairman of the Oakland County Board of Auditors. NOT SEEN VALID However, Berrien County Probate Judge Ronald Lang^ who served as the Building Authority’s attorney throughout the case, said the case did not involve any money over the 15-mill limitation and that in his opinion, it has no validity for the Oakland Counfy question. Lang also noted that voters of Berrien County approved in advisory vote the construction of the facility. ★ ★ ★ “The vote was not required,” Lang said, “but we chose it as a matter of harmony.” Quoted in the Berrien County case is that part of the State Constitution which provides for exceeding the limitation. STATUTE LANGUAGE Generally believed to have been included as a safety valve for bonding cpmpanies should the economy decline and regular tax sources prove insufficient, the statute reads: “The . . . limitations shall not apply to taxes imposed for the payment of principal and interest on bonds or other evidence of indebtedness or for the payment of assessments or contract obligations in anticipation of which bonds are issued, which taxes may be imposed without limitation as to rate or amount.” * * * Oakland County apparently has little to lose, even if it should be proven wrong in exceeding the limitation. “Only those people who say they’ve paid under protest would be eligible for - refund, and that would be a matter of only a few cents per individual," Treasurer Seeterlin said. . .There will be snow along the northern half of the east coast with flurries in Montana, Colorado and from Minnesota through the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley.
