Politics Eisenhower said he feels he has made himself per fectly clear with respect to the controversy over a vice presiden tial running mate. If he didn't manage to be clear at his news conference last week, then he prob- aniy never will oe a Die to, tne President added. The controversy was touched off by ertorts of Harold E. Stasscn to ditch Vice President Nixon from the No. 2 spot on the Re publican ticket in favor of Gov. Christian A. Hcrter of Massachu setts.
