GOP Admits Politico! Distress
NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 4 (JP) —
Set back on their heels by New
Jer s e y’s sweeping Democratic
election victories, high Republican
strategists today frankly admit
ted their party is in political hot
water.
The election yesterday of Rob
ert B. Meyner as New -Jersey’s
first Democratic governor in ten
years, and. especially the upset
win of a Democrat in the 6th Con
gressional District, were widely
interpreted as severe blows to the
prestige of the Eisenhower admin
istration.
Coming on top of -the recent
Democratic upset in Wisconsin, it
was an especially gloomy Tues
day for the .GOP.
Said Republican National
Chairman Leonard W. Hall:
“There is no question about it. As
of today, we are in trouble polit
ically.”
And there was corresponding
glee in the Democratic camp,
along with predictions of a loss
of control of Congress by the Re
publicans in 1954.
STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1953
by Joseph Barnett, Junior class president, and
the four runner sup will serve in her court.
Finalists were chosen by a selections board of
outstanding juniors on the basis of personality,
poise and beauty.
Over 600 people, almost twice
the capacity, filled Osmond Lab
oratory lecture room Tuesday
night to see films of the Penn
State-West Virginia foot ball
game.
The movie, sponsored by An
drocles, junior men’s hat society,
and the Department of Physical
Education and Athletics, showed
the controversial plays preced
ing two of WVU’s touchdowns.
Sever Toretti, assistant football
coach, narrated the movie. The
film was shown by Ronald Safier,
vice president of Androcles.
Republicans themselves staked
the reputation of the Eisenhower
administration on. the 6th district
result, where. Republicans have
been elected ever since the dis
trict was formed in 1932.
But Harrison A. Williams Jr.,
a 32-year-old lawyer and a polit
ical greenhorn, turned the tables
on them by narrowly defeating
George F. Hetfield, 44, who had
gathered the unified support of
the conservatively-inclined Union
County GOP organization.
Hall came into the district dur
ing the campaign and called for
the election of Hetfield and Paul
L. Troast, the Republican guber
natorial candidate, as a vote of.
confidence in the Eisenhower reel
ord.
The Presidept himself gave a
blanket endorsement to all Re
publican candidates.

On the state- level, - politicians

They.said Troast was defeated
almost entirely on state issues
such as crime and corruption, and
pointed to the damaging revela

Fay as the turning point in the
campaign.
The congressional contest, too
had many local undertones, ob

The candidates were seeking the

that the houses must meet.
1. Members of the fraternity
must have vacated quarters to be

all exits from the house in case
of emergencies.
