TOKYO,
(REUTERS)
Baku-chi,
or
gambling,
is
rapidly
becoming
one
of
the
most
popular
means
of
making
an
easy
living
in
post-war
Japan
whose
hungry
populace
is
mainly
preoccupied
with
getting
enough
to
eat
and
wear.
Gambling
here
today
ranges
from
openly
accepted
sweepstakes
or
.lotteries,
and
mah-jong
and
card
games
in
secret
gaming
houses,
to
"otochoko-choi
bakuchi"
(stupid
gambling)
in
which
a
group
of
men
standing
at
street
corners
will
bet,
for
example
on
the
11-licence
numbers
of
passing
vehicles..
Then
there
is
the
cigarette
gamble,
which
is
almost
a
conjuring
trick,
done
simply
by
marking
one
of
the
three
or
four
cigarettes
laid
on
a
table
and,
after
they
are
rearranged,

WASHINGTON,

One
of
the
democratic
world's
most
complex
and
cumbersome
i
electoral
'
systems
is
grinding
into
motion
to
select
a
president
and
vice-president
of
the
Uniited
States.
There
are
48
states
and
almost
as
many
variations
in
the
system
of
getting
a
president
elected.

PROCEDURE
IN
A
NUT-SHELL
Here
is
an
attempt
to
put
the
procedure
in
capsule
form.
Presidential
elections
are
held
on
the
first
Tuesday
after
the
first
Monday
in
November
of
each
Leap
Year.
Candidates
are
selected
at
party
nominating
conventions.
The
national
committees
early
in
the
election
year,
select
the
date
apd
place
for
their
nominating
convention.
This
year
the
Republicans
meet
in
June,
the
Democrats
and
Wallace's
Third
Party
in
July,
all
in
Philadelphia.
Delegates
to
the
conventions
are
selected
by
state
organizations
but
the
national
committee
decides
how
many
each
can
send.
The
number
is
decided
on
a
general
basis
of
representation
in
Congress
and
on
the
performance
of
the
party
in
the
last
election.
NUMBER
OF
,'
CANDIDATES
This
year
the
Republicans
will
have
about
1,100
and
the
Democrats
something
over
1,200.
These
delegates
are
chosen
at
state
party
conventions
in
some
