foiji and we think any intelligent person who gives the matter
a Mew minutes thought will agree, whether he is Republican
orgTJemocrat, liberal or conservative. We refer to the top

.;What are we doing at the national level? We are deciding
which man we want for president, but this man must function
thiiough a political party. He
thtf White House as out of it
the. Republican or the Democratic party with the control of j
ouf national administration. This is not just the president we
efftt. It is thousands of men and women, most of whom will

the? president through party channels. Vou don't like it?
WfcJI, you'd better, tor it's the only way mankind has yet

oflyourse, but they are mild 'Compared with the way other

oriVthese four are your means of expressing how you want the
United States governed.
'Vou will probably decide, and we think It makes sense, prin
cipally on who you want for president. That'man should in
order to function have a congress controlled by his party, so
his legislative program will have a good chance of enactment.'
You can hardly want him to be president if you don't want
him to have the means of carrying out his program.
;So if your choice is President Eisenhower, for heaven's sake,
and for your own as a U.S. citizen, vote for his supporter,
Doug McKay for senator and Walter Norblad for congressman.
Tie reverse is also true. If your choice is Adlai Stevenson,
then vote for Wayne Morse for senator and Jason Lee for con
gtess. He too, is entitled to a friendly congress if he is to be
president.
I The arguments of both parlies and their candidates have
b(en heard. Gosh, haven't they? We will not repeat any of
them here, But give your presidential candidate, whoever he
is, a chance to make good in the White House. He certainly
deserves that. No one with the interests of the country at
heart can Justify, if he gives it a little thought, a vote to para
lyze his government, especially in a critical lime like this.
; Robots to Speed Vole Count
The use of Improved robots
year will speedily announco the result.of the presidential elec
tion a few hours after the count begins, as one of them did
by announcing Eisenhowcr'selection four years ago before the
polls closed in many states. The story Is told by John Lear,
srjlence oditor ot .,tho Saturday Review, New York literary
weekly, in lis research section

Fewer than 3.500.000 of the 60.000.000 exnected voles had been counted.

an electronic 'brain' put together by engineers of what is now the
Sperry-Rand Corp., had been hired by CDS-TV for slicking out ils
mechanical neck. And when the robot was asked lo name a winner
it-came up with this reply:
I'Slovcnson, 5 slnles, 43 electoral voles: Eisenhower, 4.1 stales, 436
electoral voles. The chances arc now 100 to 1 in favor ot Elsenhower."
No one in the TV slutlios had enough fa i Hi in the machine
lo give the answer lo the public. Not until midnight, when
the magnitude of Ike's victory was clear from fuller returns
dirt the human announcers concede, Willi chagrin, what a mar
velous guess the robot had made. Days later the returns gave
Stevenson f) stales with R!) electoral voles and Eisenhower 3!)
stales with 442 electoral voles.
Mr. Lear slates the one mistake the big "brains" human
masters committed was to fear ils conclusions as acts of
mechanical thinking. Univac was find is, a stupid "animal." It
is valuable only because of the enormous speed of its computa
tions. It has time to make thousands of mistakes if necessary

NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG
Virtual Landslide Seen for
Ike in Tuesday's Eleetion
By RAY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-Presi-dent
Eisenhower should win to
morrow's election by a virtual
landslide, according to the politi
cians' last-minute tabulations, al
though his electoral and popular
majorities may not reach the 1952
proportions. Jn that year, the elec
toral tally was 442-80. and Ike's
popular margin was 6,621,200.
Jt is estimated that Adlai K.
Stevenson's maximum electoral
as
sary
low as 110, if states regarded as
doubtful or leaning to the Demo
cratic nominees should slip into
the Republican column.
To roll up the IBB total, Steven-
son must carry the following
stales that wont lor Ike four years
ago: Virginia, Tennessee, Mis
souri, Michigan, Minnesota, Okla
homa and Texas. They have a
total of 99 electoral votes.
Powerful Stales for Ike
Rut the only slates in this group
which seem certain for him are
Missouri and Oklahoma. If he
loses the other five, and there is
"S -'"ance 5UL"
his electoral tally would fall to 110.
There is no expectation that
Stevenson will carry enough of
Iho eleclorally powerful common
wealths which he needs to win, or
even to make a more respectable
showing. These arc New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and
California, which have the mas
sive electoral bloc of 161 ballots.
Top-level Republicans, including
experts around the White House
and at Republican national head
quarters, mention between 120 and
135 as Stevenson s most hopeful
prospects. Several small states re
portedly on the borderline Rhode
Island, Kentucky, Arizona. New
Mexico might go to the Chicago
lawyer in a close finish. Ike won
all in 1952 except Kentucky, which
he lost by only Toll. Texas is also
a Stevenson possibility.

For Democratic Congress
Despite Ike's certain victory, It
has been the consensus of com
posite polls and checkups that the
Democrats would hold congress,
14 Major Voting Groups Show
Shift to GOP,
By GEORGE GALLUP
(Director. American Institute of Public Or-lnlonI
PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. o
Thc election returns from the dif
ferent slates next Tuesday eve
ning will provide some clues to
the political strategists of both
parlies as to their gains and losses
of strength.
But most Important will be the
survey fads about now major
population groups voted this year
in comparison to me prcsioennai
election four years ago,
From semi-final survey figures
subject to change on the basis
of interviewing done in tne very
final dnvs of the campaign the
Institute has prepared an analysis
of how these major groups in the
population can be expected to
vote next Tuesday.
Todnv's figures arc based on Iho
mnlor-parly vote that Is. the per
cent of the Eisenhower-Stevenson
vote that President Elsenhower
will gel. Slides' Rights and other
parly candidates are not included.
What over-all effect the Israeli
allack on Egypt has had on the
political climate in America will
he reflected in the Institute's final
survey figures to be published in
tomorrow's Capital Journal.
Analysis shows Hint out of 25
major population groups, mere
as been a shift of one percentage
point or more In the direction of
the Republicans in 14 groups,
shift in the direction of the Demo-
crnls in 10 groups, wilh no shift
either way indicated in one the
college-trained voter group.
Major shifts in the voting pref
erence of these population groups
enn be summarized ns follows:
MAJOR tiOP CAINS
lThe Negro vole, which In
19-i2 followed the heavily Deino
cralic pallcrn of New Deal days,
shows more of an Inclination to
vole Republican Ihis year than at
nnv time in the last 20 years.
The GOP proportion of Hie vote
in this group will likely be twice
I ns large ns it was
1952. To-
day's figures show 42 per cent of
r I Nixon camp, compared to 21 per
cent four years ago.
2 The big cilies of America
and their suburbs show a larger
shift In the Republicans this year
than nnv olher city-si.e group
This is in direct contrast with
their Democratic voting pallcrn of
the past.
Whereas big cilies nnd their
suburbs gave General Eisenhower
47 per cent in 1952. today's results
show 52 per cent of hit city mi
dents supporting the GOP candi-
1 dates.
TUCKER
by today's margin of two In the
Senate and about 30 in the House
Until recently, Ike's coattails did
not appear to be broad or long or
strong enough to give him a sym
pathetic body of legislators. He
was running so far ahead of the
party that congressional candi
dates were not in sight.
But turbulent events abroad, as
always, may alfect the American
electorate in the silence and se
crecy of the voting booth. The dis-
satisfaction with the Versailles
rcace j reaiy s territorial arrange
ments and the League of Nations
rolled up an unprecedented major
ity for Harding in 1920. "I shall
go to Korea" was Ike's talisman
four years ago.
Effect of Recent Foreign Events
But the Polish-Hungarian stir
rings and Israeli troops' advance
into Egypt may have clouded the
pro-Democratic conclusions. It is
possible that they may mean a
gain for the GOP in the congres
sional race, especially for scats
in (he lower chamber.
If voters of Polish and Central
European descent generally credit
the Eisenhower-Dulles policies as
partially responsible for the anti
Russian outbreaks and possible
freedom from Moscow, it coidd
tighten the House contests. These
elements could be a ballot-box
balance of power for the GOP in
New England, the Middle Atlantic
Slates and the Upper Middle West,
especially Michigan and Illinois.
Ihe socallcd "Jewish vote is
reported to be hostile lo the ad
ministration for its refusal to re
arm Israel. Possible developments
in the current crsis could drive
them into the Democratic camp,
also boosting Stevenson stock.
Offsetting GOP Compensations
However, there could be offset
ting Republican compensations in
these violent winds of war- from
the slopes of Mt. Sinai. Many vot
ing1 elements have always thought
Ihat Truman's partiality to Israel
derived from selfish, partisan con
siderations. They have welcomed
Ikes nonpohtical policy of strict
neutrality, and Israeli aggression
may only confirm them In this
viewpoint.
10 to Demos
DEMOCRATIC GAINS
1 Farmers show the biggest
break away from the GOP ticket,
although a majority ot the farm
vote will go to Eisenhower and
Nixon. The drop-off in the farm
vote has been greatest in the Mid
west. Today's figures show S7 per cent
of farmers in the Republican
camp, compared lo 67 per cent in
1952. Among Midwest farmers only
57 per cent plan to vole for Ihe.
GOP ticket today, compared with
72 per cent in 1952.
2 Many Democrats who voted
for General Eisenhower four years
ago have returned to their own
parly.
Whereas Inslilule election sur
veys in 1952 showed 23 per cent
of Democrats voting for the Re
publican candidate, that figure is
down to 14 per cent today.
3 A majority of voters in the
middle-ago group, from 30 lo 49
years, will cast their ballots for
the Democratic ticket.
Four years ago, Ihis age group
voted 53 per cent for General Ei
senhower, whereas the Republican
candidate Ibis year will get 49 per
cent.
The following tables show Ihe
shifts that have occurred in the
major population groups between
the last presidential election and
today's semi-final figures on the
19.it race:

Ike Tired But
Plans No Post
Election Trip
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press While House Writer
WASHINGTON (UP) - Back
stairs at the White House:
Although the White House says
Mr. Eisenhower won't rush off on
a post-election vacation as soon
as the votes are counted, the fact
still remains that the President,
as would be expected, is tired aft
er his campaign and long hours
on the Middle East and Central
Europe crises.
He had planned before the
blow-up over Suez to leave Wash
ington a day or two after the elec
tion for his favorite resort, the
Augusta (Ga.) National Golf Club.
The 'Augusta trip Is now In
abeyance, but not for too long if
the international situation grows
no worse. The President will not
spend a long time in Augusta and
intends to be at the White House
or Gettysburg for Thanksgiving.
When he actually leaves for
Georgia depends pretty much on
the shooting in the Middle East
and the latest Russian moves in
Central Europe.
The people around the President
think he needs a rest. Their think
ing on the subject is undoubtedly
colored by the fact that they, too,
need some lime off.
The Eisenhower staff has been
working seven days a week and
frequently far into Ihe night-
tor about six weeks and everybody
is pooped.
A girl at the While House has a
theory about the missing message
to the President from Soviet Prem
ier Bulganin.
It probably got mixed up in
the birthday congratulations from
last month (Mr. Eisenhower was
66 years old on Oct. 14 1 nnd some
body probably sent Rulganin a
note of acknowledgement."

PGE Rate Much Lower
To the Editor:
The Portland General Electric
company is very proud ot its low
rales. Notice in your column of
November 2 where a Mrs. Grouser
is comparing our rates with Cali
fornia - Oregon Power company
rates. We think they are doing a
good job too.
However, as a comparison with
California-Oregon Power company
sells its customers the first 300
kilowatt-hours for $7.80, according
to a P.U.C. representative. For the
same number of kilowatt-hours the
Portland General Electric Com
pany charges $4.85. The California-
Oregon Power company further
charges 1.1 cents per kilowatt-hour
for the next 300 kilowatt-hours. The
Portland General Electric charges
.7 cents per kilowatt-hour for the
next 700 kilowatt-hours.
Wc are sure that the California
Oregon Power company distributes
its power over difficult terrain,
pays the same taxes wc do and
pays interest on its investment as
we do. We feel Ihat we are for
tunate in being able to purchase
low-cost Bonnevill- power and then
pass it on to our customers in our
unusually low rate.
I will wager that some of the
customers of Copco will be sur
prised to find out that they arc
enjoying a rate that is similar to
Portland General Electric com
pany's, as stated bv Mrs. Crouser.

This voter wonders what veter
ans, if any, the sponsors of such

themselves. Being a veteran my
self and having a number of ac
quaintances who are veterans, and
most of these that I have heard
express themselves favor Morse

pressed a determination to vote
for McKay and that because for
reason of his own. He says he
hates Morse worse.
No objection is raised here to
McKay supporters or others mak
ing known their preferences, but
positive objection is here raised to
statements purporting to show that
veterans in general arc for McKay
when the fact is that a substantial
number, if not a majority, of vet
erans prefer Morse and oppose
McKay in the present contest.

Suez Shows We Need
Ike More Than Ever
To the Editor:
Eisenhower has shown himself
(0 be a statesman in this present
crisis. He told Englai.d and France
plainly that they would have to
negotiate a peaceful agreement
with Egypt in regard to the Suez
canal dispute. He also told them
that they could not expect any
help from us if they used force.
Our president had been in Europe
during the last world war as commander-in-chief.
In this position he
had the opportunity to observe the
policies of England and France.
Many people believe that Eng
land and France enticed Israel to
march against Egypt; so they
would have an excuse to use
force. Of course they could not
take Eisenhower into their confer
ence as they know how he stands
on the question of using force. And
they also know that he stands firm
on his conviction and can not be
swayed, Elsenhower knows what
is Ihe best policy for the United
States and he will follow his con
viction and his conscience regard
less of how much the politician
yell and attack him.
This is the time to up-bold our
president and stand solidly behind
him. If all citizens would do this
regardless of creed or color, he
can lead 11S safely out of the pres
ent crisis without involving us in
another world war.
It is time Ihat England and
France know that our boys will
not be sent to Europe for the third

dent a vote of confidence on No
