Today's Elections in 3 States Expected
To Show If Administration Still Popular
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rival political camps Monday
night awaited possible clues on
tbe popularity of the Eisenhower
administration to emerge' in Tues
day's elections in New Jersey, Vir
ginia and New York City.
In New Jersey, which has had a
GOP governor for the past 10
years. Republicans said the guber
natorial election there is the first
big test since the Democrats won
an upset victory in the recent spe-
Benson Asks
States Assist
In Farm Aid
HOT SPRINGS, Va. Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson told
Southern governors Monday night
the administration is going to ask
the states to share more of the
responsibility and financial load
for helping the American farmer.
Initial reaction, from governors
of states- as far apart as Okla
homa and Virginia, was: "Where
. will, we get the money?"
- Benson was the No. 1 guest
speaker at the annual conference
of Southern governors, many of
whom have been saying the ad
ministration's farm policy is dam
aging President Eisenhower's, po
litical popularity.
The conference chairman, Gov.
Herman Talmadge of Georgia,
said in a speech that the admin
istration ought to adopt a definite,
sound farm program as perma
nent as possible and as soon as
it can.
Segregation Issue i
Talmadge also raised the racial
segregation issue. He called upon
the Suprtme Court to uphold seg
regation in schools and leave it
to the South to solve racial prob
lems in its own way.
Benson spoke at a black-tie
state dinner attended by the gov
ernors and their wives. When the
administration lays its farm pro
gram before Congress early next
year, he said, it will recognize
the need for greater state and
local participation."
Financial Burden
He said states must be prepared
to assume a larger role and new
responsibilities, and "with more
local action will go heavier finan
cial responsibility."
Gov. John S. Battle of Virginia
commented:
"That is tbe theme song of this
administration. But I haven't seen
them turn loose any tax resources
yet"
"Where will we get the money?
Where it will be, I don't know.
I doubt that any state in the
South is in a position to take on
a much greater financial responsi
bility to the fanner."
Should Assist
Gov. Johnston Murray of Okla
homa said he thought the states
ought to assist in helping the
farmer.
) "The trouble is in our state we
don't have that kind of money,"
he said. Benson's announcement
earlier in the day of his Agricul
ture Department reorganization.
found Southern and Western gov
ernors, meeting in separate con
ferences at Hot Springs. Va., and
Albuquerque, N. M., split sharply
on the issue.
Actio Opposed
At. Hot Springs. Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina, who has
, been supporting tbe Eisenhower
administration, said he believes
Benson's action was "unwise.'
Byrnes told reporters he had
written Benson urging him not to
put the plan into effect. He said
the idea was 'originally proposed
by Henry A. Wallace, then secre-
i tary of agriculture, and Byrnes
: opposed it at the time.
But Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas,
also at the Hot Springs meeting,
; said he thinks the states will gain
by not having to go through U. S
regional offices to get technical
information about soil conserva
tion.
Shivers Approves
"On the whole. I think the pro
gram of reorganization will be a
good one," Shivers said.
At Albuquerque, three Western
: governors saluted the Eisenhower
administration's stand on the soil
conservation issue, but conceded
its farm policy may cause political
storms.
Utah's Gov. J. Bracken Lee. one
of the trio, had this to say about
Benson's action: 1
"When a man stands up for what
,is right and is prepared to fight,
' then there is real hope for us alL"
Also approving the plan were
Gov. Edwin' L. Mechem of New
Mexico and Gov. C. J. Rogers of
Wyoming.

Sen. Dirksen (R-H1) said the
election of a Democrat might set

give the Democrats control of Con

Mechanical Brain Given Job
Of Mixing Over 2,000 Colors

CHICAGO This machine mixes and matches 2,000 colors. William
M. Stuart, its developer, shows how it delivers a quart f toy
colorful paint la 12 seconds.
CHICAGO (P) If you've ever tried to match a paint color in
home decorating, youll appreciate this. - :
William M. Stuart, president of the Martin-Senour Co., has fig
ured out a machine that looks undramatic but does a lot of dramatic
things with color. Stuart also is godfather of a comprehensive color
mixing system. Colors can be put together by formula.
He called on Arthur G. Russell of the Russell Machine Co.,
Forestville, Conn., to build a machine that would mix paint auto
matically and accurately. Russell's result is a precisioned gadget
that mixes paint in a matter of seconds. It's a pilot model
Some 2,000 colors can be mixed -with it The machine puts the
paint together by formula. Correct proportions are obtained by a
unit system of 1,000 to a quart.
Only 12 basic ingredients are required. Combinations are mixed
from three primary hues red, blue and yellow and the three sec
ondary hues of green, violet and orange, plus a graying agent called
shade-x and basic whites.
The paint is mixed and pumped to containers by pistons placed
at the back of the machine. When a customer orders a color, the
dial-like settings at the top are used. These are divided into 1,000
unit scales and each one is assigned to a color.
To get a plum color, for example, the dealer would set the ma
chine to deliver 260 units of red, 30 units of purple, 210 units of
shade-x, 250 units of mix-x and 250 units of flat A container is
placed in the center of the machine, a lever is pushed and the ma
chine does the rest A quart of paint is delivered in 12 seconds.
Bookkeeping
In Pentagon
'Substandard'
WASHINGTON ifl Fiscal ex
perts testified Monday that the
Pentagon needs a better bookkeep
ing system.
Robert A. Lovett, banker and
former secretary of defense, told
a Senate armed services subcom
mittee "very rich" savings could
be made by the armed forces if
they improved their accounting
practices.
"No secretary can operate un
less he knows where he stands."
Lovett said, adding that he was
handicapped when he was defense
chief by lack of adequate informa
tion on military finances, inven
tories and the like.
Another witness, Ferdinand Eb
erstadt, New York investment
banker, testified that if the Army,
Navy and Air Force had had ci
vilian comptrollers it would have
been easier to fix responsibility
for the Korean ammunition short
ages which were probed by an
other Senate group last spring.
VIce-Chairman of WPB
Eberstadt was vice chairman of
the War Production Board in
World War II, helped write the
1947 Armed Services Unification
law and headed a Defense De
partment study made for the
Hoover Commission in 1949.
He conceded that the Korean
War had slowed down fiscal re
forms at the Pentagon.
Directing Inquiry
Sen. Flanders (R-Vt) is direct
ing the current inquiry, which
aims to find and correct any weak'
necses in the military bookkeep
ing system.'
In 1949 Eberstadt drafted an
amendment to the Unification Act
which sen. Byrd (D-va.) spon
sored in an effort to modernize
financial procedures of the mHi
tary ; services.
Eberstadt said the amendment
as originally written called for a
civilian comptroller for the entire
defense establishment and civilian
comptrollers for the Army, Navy
and Air Force as welt

The White House later said Eis

Troast, apparently a slight fa
vorite, is - opposed by Democrat
Robert B. Meyner, who had the
support of Sen. Estes Kefauver
(D-Tenn).
The picture elsewhere, in brief:
New York Democrat Robert
F. Wagner Jr., 44-year-old son of
the late Sen. Wagner (D-NY), was
the betting favorite over Rudolph
Halley, Liberal, and Harold Rie
gelman. Republican, in a race for
the 140,000-a-year mayor's seat.
Backed By Trumaa
Wagner had tbe backing of form
er President Truman and of 1952
Democratic presidential candidate
Adlai E. Stevenson.
The New York Daily News straw
poll, never wrong before on a may
oral election, forecast a Wagner
victory by 2-1. If Wagner wins, it
could help keep New York s potent
94 convention votes in New Deal
hands and afffect the choice of the
party's presidential candidate in
1956. '
VirginiaDemocrats confidently
predicted they would bold the gov
ernorship in the face of the first
major Republican challenge in a
quarter of a century.
Powerful Backing
Republican Theodore R. Dalton,
who recently chatted with Presi
dent Eisenhower at the White
House, opposed former Rep.
Thomas B. Stanley, who has the
backing of the powerful Democrat
ic organization headed by Sen.
Harry F. Byrd.
Virginia Republicans saw signs
of encouragement in the fact that
their state deserted the Democrat
ic standard and swung to Gen,
Eisenhower in 1952.
If Dalton wins, it would mark
the first time Virginia has elected
a Republican governor in its his
tory.
