Nick Maldo, of Providence, won with his melody to an Allen lyric under the title of “Walking Down a Country Road,” while Pearl Kaufman, New York, came out on top with her lyric to Allen’s “The Golden Wedding Waltz.” Each writer received a $250 advance from Miller Music. Chi Ballot Continued from page 39 Members are required to vote for all candidates in the various cate- gories of trial board members, ex- amining board members, interna- tional union delegates and top exec officers. If all candidates are not voted for, the ballot will be invalidated. In short, it’s charged that the ad- ministration has rigged the ballot so that every candidate will get the same number of votes, thus ruling out any implied criticism against the less popular men on the ballot.
