Nixon Nomination by Acclamation
Seen by Senate and House Chiefs
Wachinfftnn (U.Pi Chairmen
of the Senate and House GOP
congressional campaign predict
ed today Vice President Richard
M Nixon "will be renominated
by acclamation" at the conven
tion "despite the irresponsible
actions of Harold E. Stassen."
The chairmen made their pre
diction - in a joint statement
which dealt another strong blow
to Stassen's "dump Nixon"
drive.
It came only a few hours be
fore Stassen formally opened
Washington headquarters for his
campaign to put Massachusetts
Gov. Christian A. Herter rather
than Nixon in the number two
spot on the GOP presidential
ticket.
In a joint statement, the
chairmen of the Senate and
House GOP Congressiqnal Com
paign Committees predicted Nix
on "will be renominated by ac
clamation on the first ballot at
the Republican national conven
tion." They said Nixon's renomina
tion will occur "despite the irre
sponsible actions' of Harold E.
Stassen."
The statement was issued by
Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel
(Kan.) chairmanol the Republi
can Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee, and Rep. Richard M.
Simpson (Pa.) chairman of a
similar House committee.
' Winning Ticket I
"It is inconceivable," they!
said, "that Republican delegates
will consider tearing apart a'
winning ticket (Eisenhower and;

Stassen todav began a four-
mjv lpavo nf absence from his
post as President Eisenhower's
disarmament adviser to push his
drive for Herter without involv
ing the White House.
Schoeppel and Simpson said
that 180 House members who
last week signed a petition sup
porting Nixon "disagreed with
Stassen" and that "yesterday we
learned the President disagreed"
with him.
We doubt that he Is right and
everybody else is wrong," they
added.
Interpretations differed, how
ever, on the President's attitude.
The President said, at his news
conference Wednesday that Nix
Hall Predicts
Greater Victory
San Francisco U.R) Repub
lican National Chairman Hall
predicts his party will enjoy a
greater victory this year than in
1952.
Hall made this prediction
Wednesday when he arrived to
make arrangements for the con
vention. "J "I expect a more sweeping
victory in 1956 than in 1952," he
declared.
Asked if he meant this no mat
ter who wins the Republican
vice presidential nomination,
Hall replied:
"I don't care who is nomi
nated." About 125 persons, mostly
young Republicans, met his
plane when it landed at San
Francisco International Airport.
A brass band blared and the
crowd chanted, "We Want Ike
and Dick."
Hall declined to discuss any
candidate for the vice presidency
other than Richard M. Nixon.
However, he said the convention
will be "open" and that any
name may be placed in nomina
tion. Hall planned to inspect the
Cow Palace today.

No Preference
He declined to express a pref
erence between Nixon and Her

presidential candidate, saying
that he upholds "the right of
the delegates to the convention
to nominate whom they choose."
Asked if it might be conclud

you may." He refused to say
whether he would be "happy"
with Herter because he did not
want to discuss personalities
outside his official family.
Stassen interpreted this to
mean that Mr. Eisenhower had
given him a "green light" to
campaign for Herter. t
Stassen said Mr. Eisenhower
made it clear that the GOP con
vention "now is definitely open"
and that "the American people
can now make their views
known to the delegates."

In New York, the News said
tie only known complaint
against Korashi was that he

Death of Hodge's
Publicity Agent
Being Investigated
SDringfield. 111. (U.R) Au
thorities were hopeful today of
determining the exact cause of
death of H. Kendall Olds, pub
licity agent for deposed state
auditor Orville E. Hodge, pend
ing an inquest next week.
Olds' body was found Wed
nesday in Lake Springfield,
which borders the plush home of
Hodge, driven from office by
a $1,000,000 phony check scan-
day and now under federal and
state indictment.
Not Directly Implicated
Olds, 46, never had been di
rectly implicated in the check
scandal. Associates, however,
revealed he was extremely de
spondent since Hodge was re
vealed as an admitted embezzler
who squandered huge sums of
state money for high living and
politics.
M. F. Schimenz, a member
of the Surf Club, found Olds'
body floating in five feet of
water about 15 feet from the
docks of the club oil Lake
Springfield. Schimenz made a
search for Olds after spotting
Old's empty car at the club
early Wednesday.
Honesty Unquestioned
Olds, a former newsman and
United Press correspondent
here, earned $6,500 a year as
an administrative assistant as
signed to public relations. After
the body was found, Hodge's
successor, Lloyd Morey, called
a news conference and said
there had been "no question" of
Olds' honesty and that he had
not planned to fire him.
Underwater Filming
Of Sunken Vessel
Halted by Tragedy
Nantucket, Mass. (U.R) Un
derwater filming of the sunken
liner Andrea Doria was called
off today because of the drown
ing of an expedition member in
a practice skin dive in Nantucket
Harbor.
. William Edgerton, 23, failed
to surface Wednesday from a
practice dive. His body was re
covered by photographer Louis
Malle who organized the 14-man
skin diving expedition for Paris
Match Magazine. .
Edgerton, son of a Massachu
setts Institute of Technology
professor, was diving with oth
ers from the 50-foot tender, Capt.
Samuel James, anchored in 120
feet of water.
Valve Turned Off
The skin divers were to have
started film making today in
waters about 45 miles south of
Nantucket Island, where the
Andrea Doria sank last week
after a collision with the Swed
ish liner Stockholm.
Edgerton made one dive wear
ing a mask and two gas cylin
ders strapped to his back. He
surfaced and said he was going
down again. When he failed to
surface 10 minutes later, NBC
reporter Joe Michales called to
him through an electronic under
water magaphone. Edgerton did
not respond and the group
searched the area. His body was
found lying on the ocean floor.
Expedition members said a
valve supplying oxygen had
been turned off, possibly by a
brush against the tender when
he submerged.
Health Teams Seek
Polio Epidemic Cause

riddled pockets on Chicago's
West Side today in an effort to
learn what factors caused the
worst early season outbreak in
city history. v
"The investigation . will be
from block to block, from house
to house and from room to room"
declared Dr. Herman N. Bunde
son, president of the Health
Board. ,
The four districts, covering 5.6
square miles, have contributed
half of the city's polio cases this

Funds Earmarked
For Fiscal '1958
Highway Program
Washington U.R) The gov
ernment Wednesday earmarked
more than $2,500,000,000 for
federal highway aid next year.
This will be the second in
stallment on the $33,000,000,000
highway program, and the larg
est amount ever provided for
roads at one time by any coun
try. To Be Matched by States
The funds are for fiscal 1958,
which is still 11 months away.
They will be matched by a
smaller amount of state funds.
The new assignment of fed
eral funds is divided among the
48 states, the District of Colum
bia, Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto
Rico. Broken down by types of
roads, it provides: $1,700,000,000
for the 41,000 mile interstate
system, $382,500,000 for the
196,000-mile primary system,
$255,000,000 for the 508,000
miles of secondary and farm to
market roads, and $212,500,000
for highways into and through
cities. '
The federal government pays
90 per cent of the cost for the
interstate system, and the states
pay the remaining 10 per cent.
West Gets More
Costs are split 50-50 between
federal and state governments
on all other phases of the road
program, except in the case of
12 Western states. These dozen
receive bigger percentages of
federal funds because of their
vast areas of public lands which
cannot be used commercially.
The state by state breakdown
of federal assistance for fiscal
1958 included:
California $96,947,850 for in
terstate and a total of $142,656,
288. Oregon $23,078,783 for inter
state and a total of $35,741,796.
Washington $27,303,532 for
interstate and a total of $42,-126,176.

To win the Democratic presi
dential nomination, Stevenson
or the man who beats him must
poll at least 686V2 votes at the
Democratic National Conven
tion. Stevenson's campaign head
quarters already claimed a mini
mum of 600 first ballot votes and
said that almost any two of the
large state delegations which
are uncommitted or pledged to
favorite son candidates could
throw the nomination to Steven
son. A Big Lift
The withdrawal of Sen. Estes
Kefauver Tuesday in favor of
Stevenson gave the Stevenson
campaign its biggest lift since
the California primary.
Gov. Averell Harriman's man
agers still talked of getting a
substantial bloc of the Kefauver
votes, but a bandwagon swing to
Stevenson seemed to be under
way. Former Democratic Nation
al Chairman Frank McKinney, a
Harriman supporter, predicted
the New Yorker will poll 450
first ballot votes.
A United Press tabulation of
known first ballot preferences
showed Stevenson with 485VS
votes against 166V4 for Harri
man. A still-incomplete resurvey of
the Kefauver delegates shifted
at least 20 of the 26 Indians
votes from Kefauver to Steven
son and all 18 of those from
Maryland. Kefauver had won
both delegations in uncontested
primaries.
In Minnesota, where Kefau
ver defeated Stevenson in a
March primary, Harriman picked
up 8V2 of Kefauver's 26 votes
and Stevenson 6V4 with the re
mainder undecided.
Ten and one-half scattered Ke
fauver votes in other states were
transferred to Harriman and
16V to Stevenson.
More than half of the 28 Ke
fauver votes from Wisconsin
were expected to jump to Stev-

Mail Floods
Nixon's Office
Washington (U.R) Vice Pres
ident Richard M. Nixon's office
has added five temporary em
ployees to handle a surge of mail
protesting Harold E. Stassen's
effort to blast him off the 1956
Republican ticket. '
Office desks are piled high
with the correspondence. Nixon's
regular staff prepares the letters
for answer during the day and
a five-unman night crew does
the typing on a 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
shift. '
A great many of the letters
are from women. Represented
are all parts of the United States
and just about all classes of
voters.
A Western governor pledged
all Republican governors in his
area to the Nixon candidacy.
Several Republican state chair
men were represented along
with a variety of state and coun
ty office holders.
The burden of the correspond
ence was that the writers liked
Nixon and Mrs. Nixon and
wanted him to run again. A letr
ter from Kansas City had special
commendation for Mrs. Nixon's
recipe for walnut clusters which
had appeared in the Star.
The flood of mail is contin
