Kennedy to Be Minority President
WASHINGTON—(UPI) A higher percentage of Americans than ever before voted for president this year — and less than half voted for the winner.
With no more than one per cent of the vote still to be counted, an unofficial tabulation by United Press International today gave John F. Kennedy 49.93 per cent and Vice President Richard M. Nixon 49.44 per cent of the total vote. The remainder of the vote went to others.
THE TABULATION at 11 a.m.

Prof. Camin Given 2 Research Grants

A specialist in mites, Mr. Camin began research four years ago at the Chicago Academy of Science. He joined the KU faculty in 1958 as a medical entomologist.

Kennedy — 33,900,365; Nixon — 33,569,368; others — 425,533.
Thus, Kennedy's popular vote lead over Nixon had been whittled to 330,696, a crop of about 32,000 in the last 36 hours.
California's count of absentee ballots accounted for most of Nixon's gain and gave him a chance of winning its 32 electoral votes away from Kennedy. With 45 per cent of an estimated 230,000 absentee ballots counted, Nixon had pulled within 15,720 votes of Kennedy in the state.
KENNEDY PARTLY offset his California losses in popular vote by widening his narrow lead in Illinois. The vote count in Illinois gave Kennedy a lead of 9,153.
The tabulated vote, including ballots cast for minor party candidates or unpledged electors, totaled 67,895,294.
That's 63.5 per cent of the 106,974,000 civilians of voting age, a figure which includes almost three million aliens and many others who could not vote because of residence or other requirements.
The previous record high participation was set in 1952 when 62.7 per cent of the civilians of voting age cast ballots. Only 60.4 per cent voted in 1956 when a record high 62,027,040 ballots were cast.
Of the two-party vote Kennedy had 50.25 and Nixon 49.75 per cent.

Martial Law Set In La Paz, Bolivia
Scattered gunfire was reported continuing throughout the area.

Castro Says U.S. Can't Stop Revolution, Provoke Cubans
HAVANA — (UPI) — Cuban Premier Fidel Castro warned that the United States "has no way of preventing the triumph of the Cuban Revolution" but said that his government would do nothing to provoke U.S. "aggression" from the Guantanamo Naval Base.
He made the declaration in a speech delivered Sunday night but made public only today by the government press.
But he said that his government would adopt a "wait and see" attitude in order not to provoke American "aggression." He asked base workers not to join the Castro militia in order not to give the United States the excuse for "counter-aggressions."
"OUR FIGHT is hard but we are going to win it," the bearded premier told Cubans employed by the U.S. naval installation. "The question of Guantanamo is a problem of right not force."
He also promised to construct 1,000 low cost homes for workers on the base who exchanged the largest number of American dollars for Cuban pesos. The premier did not specify any amount. The Cuban workers are paid in American dollars.
MEANWHILE, it was reported that Castro's chief justice and one associate justice of the Supreme Court he handpicked had sought political asylum in embassies here.
