FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1953 .. President Favors GOP candidates In 'Fall' Elections WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (W)— The White House disclosed- today that- President Eisenhower—far from remaining completely aloof from partisan politics—favors -the .election of all Republican candi dates for office. The White House made it clear that goes for Paul Troast, Repub lican candidate for -governor' of New Jersey, who sparked a con troversy when it was disclosed he sought clemency for' a convicted New York racketeer. The, latest clarification of Ei senhower's views• came fr o m White House Pr es s Secretary James C. Hagerty in elaborating on a discussion. of politics at the President's news conference yes terday. GOPs Should be Elected The President gave the impres sion that at least he would make some speeches to set the GOP record before the people, even if he doesn't get out and stump for individual candidates. Hagerty said today Eisenhower was speaking of the necessity, as he put it, of electing Republican members to Congress on the rec ord the administration has built. "Just so there is no misunder 'standing, that applies to other candidates who are running for office on the Republican ticket," Hagerty said. No Individuals Mentioned "Anywhere?" a reporter asked. "Yes," Hagerty said. At this point, Sylvester asked Hagerty: "You are not naming Troast? ' "We are not naming any one individual," Hagerty replied. He said if , he spoke out for one can didate by name, he would 'have to do it for all. "liagerty said, however, that the statement applied to the New Jersey and Virginia contests for governor and to special congres sional elections com i n g up in California and New Jersey. Ike Takes Same Stand Hagerty agreed that was the same position Eisenhower took during last year's presidential election campaign. In 1952, Eisen hower said he would support Sen. McCarthy (R-)Vis) for re-election "as a member of the Republican organization," but would not give a blanket endorsement to anyone "who does anything I believe to be un-American in method of pro cedures."

PENNSYLVANIA Mamie a Criminal? New York Says No WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 (W)— "Did you ever stop to think," said the voice over the phone, "about the possibility of Mrs. Ei senhower being a lawbreaker?" There was a pause for dramatic effect. Then the voice—it be longed to a Democrat who has had trouble finding work since last November—went on: "When Mrs. Eisenhower regis tered to vote in New York, she gave her address as 60 Morning side Drive. But that'll 'the resi dence of Dr. Grayson Kirk, who now is head of Columbia Univer sity. "Everyone knows that Mrs. Ei senhower now lives"— the voice was sad here—"in Washington, on Pennsylvania Ave." Lest you have visions of a pad dy wagon backing up to the White House door, let's get this straight at once: Mrs. Eisenhower broke no laws with her New York registration. But her case does illustrate a peculiar problem facing every Washington resident, .right up to the President. Anyone living in the District of Columbia can't elect any of his local officials. If he wishes to vote, he must maintain a legal residence else Where. For the average politician, this isn't difficult. Many of them still live in the towns which they were born, and it's easy to keep up their homes in Anaheim, Calif., or Pekin, 111., or Winder, Ga. But' Eisenhower is no average politician. As an Army man, he was moved around constantly. When he settled down at last, as president of Columbia University, he registered to vote for the first time.

"It's final this time," she told a reporter, !`there's no chance of reconciliation." She gave no rea son for the split. To the question whether a third party was in volved, she an swered no. Frankie was husband No. 3 for the screen beauty. Although Ava fought long and often with him, s h e remained loyal and called herself "the greatest Sinatra fan." She even pleaded with the brass at Columbia to give him the role of the Italian soldier in "From Here to Eternity." Ava Gardner still use their old address? The answer comes from Mrs. J. J.

After yesterday's fourth diplo matic level session, Dean still was optimistic although he had just sat through another tongue lash ing during which the Reds im plied he wanted to scuttle the conference. After the two-hour and 20-min ute meeting Thursday, De an brushed aside the angry words of the Communists saying: "Whenever the Communists are on the other side, you've got to expect it and leave your personal feelings out of the conference room." Dean insisted the Red Chinese and North Korean delegates still are "outwardly polite and out wardly interested," indicat in g that, despite all the sound and fury, the Communists still are in tent on having a peace conference.
