Prwidenl Eisenhower Was Most Calm

the home jlf
George GM
there to the
Quarters o!
Charle
be in
itbOtit th* calmest Republican in
on election night was Presi-
Dt Eisenhower.
As he drove with his wife from
~||ational headquarters to
Secretary of Treasury
Humphrey, and from
Be Sheraton Park hotel
Of Defense Secretary
harles E.' Wilson, he seemed to
excellent, smiling spirits.
At Republican headquarters, a
reporter Known to the President
squatted down on the floor to get
out of the way of the newsreel
cameras which were tracking ev-
ery foot the President walked.
The chief executive went by the
squatting reporter about 10 foot,
then turned suddenly, pointed to
the man and said with a broad
grin, '"since when did you turn
into a shrinking violet?"
One reason for Mr. Eisenhow-
er's election night equanimity un-
doubtedly was the fact that he was
prepared since late summer for
Republican loss of Congress. His
political lieutenants told him in
September and again in early Oc-
tober that the sledding would be
rough for the Republican candi-
dates.
The P^sident started the cam-
paign, determined to stay out of
individual races and confine his
participation to plumping for the
legislative accomplishments of his
administration. He ended up, how-
ever, in Wilmington, Del., three
days before the election saying
that perhaps he had not done
enough in behalf of the GOP tick-
ets.
Actually, some of the key mem-
bers of his staff wanted him to
take much less of an active part
in the campaign than he did. They
could smell a Democratic year at
the polls and did not want a GOP
defeat to rub off on their man —
just in case he bows to party pres-
sure and decides to run again tn
1956.
The GOP strategists who would
like to see him as a re-election
candidate take some satisfaction
in that one of the big factors con.
tributing to ex-President Truman's
successful re-election battle in liMa
was the Republican 80th Congress
which gave him an excellent and
consolidated target. Hence, the
strategists reason that if the up-
coming Democratic 84th Congress
roughs up the Eisenhower pro-
gram, as it seems certain to do,
this will improve Mr. Eisenhow-
er's hand with the voters in 1956.
And—give the COP leaders new
and needed leverage to use on the
President, himself, when it comes
time to talk about the nominating
convention.
She probably could have her
pick of the jewels of the Orient
and Africa, but Mrs. Eisenhower's
favorite piece of jewelry is a mas-
sive gold charm bracelet. Wears
it with everything but an Evening
dress.
And what is her favorite charm?
A gold disk about the size of a
silver dollar with "Ike" in heavy,
raised letters.
Old retainers at the White House
say the British Queen Mother
looks actually younger than she
did when she visited the Franklin
Roosevelts with her late husband
in 1939.
Sale 01 Outer Shelf
Oil Leases Benefit
To All, McKay Says
CHICAGO, Nov. 11 — UP —
Douglas McKay, secretary of the
interior, Wednesday said the sale
of leases on the outer continental
shelf to private industry will bene-
fit every person in the country by
adding large sums to the federal
treasury, creating employment and
lowering taxes.
McKay, who is also petroleum
administrator for defense, spoke at
the 34th annual meeting of the
American Petroleum Institute.
He said 31 companies had sub-
mitted 326 bids totaling almost $130
million on 97 plots on the conti-
nental shelf off the shores of Lou-
isiana and Texas. The plots were
5,000 acres each and were among
180 offered for lease by the Interior
Department, McKay said.
He said their sale marked "the
end of the longstanding contro-
versy which paralyzed the develop-
ment of these rich petroleum re-
sources."
These first sales and subsequent
ones, McKay said, "will benefit
I every individual in the United
1 States by adding large sums from
the bonus bids and the royalties
to the federal treasury."
The sales will also "result in em-
ployment for thousands of people
and, by helping to balance the
budget, aid in lightening our tax
burden," McKay said.
The API re-elected Frank M.
Porter, of Fain-Porter Drilling Co.,
Oklahoma City, Okla., president
and P. C. Spencer, president of
Sinclair Oil Corp., New York,
chairman of the board of direc-
tors.
Wallace E. Pratt, 69, geologist
and author from Carlsbad, N. M.,
received the API's gold medal for
distinguished achievement.
At another session, Porter at-
tacked a recent U.S. Supreme
Court decision to place natural gas
rates under federal regulation as a
"proposition that attacks on a
broad front one of the truly basic
concepts of American freedom—
the right to- compete freely."
Although Bermuda no longer ex-
cludes the automobile, the popular
Atlantic resort island restricts gas-
oline transportation. Speeds are
limited to 20 miles an hour in open
country, 15 in town. No family may
own more than one automobile.
Visitors must remain 30 days be-
fore being allowed to drive. Cars
more than five years old may not
be sold lor driving on public roads.

Polygamy Hearings
Are Set For Nov. 22
KINGMAN, Ariz., Nov. 11-UP
— Nine men from the once-plyya-
mous Arizona community of Short
Creek must show cause why their
probation should not be revoked at
a' hearing tentatively set for Nov.
22.
The nine men were reported to
be among the 27 men who pleaded
guilty Nov. 30, 1953, to a charge
of conspiracy following a raid by
state officers on the Short Creek
community.
The Mohave county adult proba-
tion officer filed the petition for
revocation of their probation Tues-
day after an investigationat Short
Creek. It was a condition of pro-
bation that the men pleading
guilty would refrain from living
with their plural wives.
The Short Creek raid attracted
world-wide attention July 26, 1953,
when about 100 Arizona peace of-
ficers descended upon the town,
which straddles the Arizona - Utah
border.
