o o '00 o o o hio's 25 Electoral Votes Still Undecided; Both Sides See Victory Registration of ;Voters Indicate 4 Million Ballots . By HASKELL SHORT f Columbus, Ohio-(UP1I -Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy were in Ohio this week for another shot at the state's 25 elcctorial votes. The consensus is that the big state still is to be won and ihat the issues, in addition to those which are key questions everywhere, are religion, un employment, and party organ ization. Both candidates drew rec 6rd crowds in Ohio and left leaders in both parties pre dicting victory. But the party leaders advised the candidates they had better come back into Ohio as often as possible. J. Voter registration is at a ( record high. This indicates Ohio will cast more than four million votes for the first time on Nov. 8. It is impossible to tell party strength on the registration figures because voters do not have to give their party when registering and because registration is not statewide. i' Both parties, however, see advantages for them in the big registration. . r Democrats point out that registration is up in the big pities, usually Democratic areas. i Republicans feel the Demo crats hit their peak two years ago when organized labor made is biggest drive to get out the vote against a right to work proposal. Persons who registered two years ago not need to register again this -year. Was Hot Issue 3 The right to work issue was the hottest issue in Ohio in many years. It was credited with bringing out a big labor vote which defeated the issue and swept Democrats into con trol of state governor for the first time in 10 years., But with all the heat the right to work issue created, the vote was 365,000 less than in 1956 when President Eisen hower carried Ohio by 800, 000 over Adlai E. Stevenson. It is agreed generally that the persons who voted for Ike in 1956 but stayed home in 1958 when the right to work issue and state offices were at stake were Repub licans and independents.- Re publicans feel that If they get those voters out again they will win. They have worked hard to stir these groups in the small towns where organ ization work is not publicized as much as union political activity in the cities..

Mrs. , (Knackstedt photo) The religious question rais ed by .Kennedy's Catholicism has received a lot of atten tion. Sen. Frank J. Lausche, a Catholic supporting Kennedy, said he found it an issue "everywhere." In his visits to county fairs, Lausche, winner of six of seven i statewide races, reported he found the people reluctant to talk pres idential policies. He said he felt there was a bigger per centage of voters still trying to make up their minds than usual at this stage of the campaign. Issues Outlined The question has been dis cussed in a number of Sun day schools and 'in sermons. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson., the Democratic vice presidential candidate, devoted about half of his two Ohio speeches to the matter. ' Democratic State Chairman William L. Coleman said he found religion more of an is sue than anticipated. But he predicted its importance as a factor in the election would become less and less as the election drew near. Unemployment likely will be a big issue in some areas, especially in the steel cities such as Cleveland, Youngs town, Warren, and Lorain-all traditionally Democratic, The farm issue is not a hot one in Ohio, although the state has a sizable number of farmers. Ohio farmers con sistently have voted against various government farm pro grams and controls. There have been several surveys of voter attitudes but most pollsters, including the Scripps - Howard newspapers, are waiting until mid-October before beginning their sur veys. . - . The Cleveland Press, a Scripps - Howard newspaper, said it found that young per sons registering to vote fa vored Kennedy and the older people liked Nixon. A survey the newspaper made in super markets showed the women favoring Kennedy. Working Hard The Cincinnati Enquirer found many young couples putting government fiscal pol icy at the top of the list of issues which would determine their vote. The Enquirer also found many residents of Ken tucky, Tennessee and West Virginia who have moved into Ohio's industrial cities ready to jump from their ancestral voting habits to Nixon be cause they would not vote for a Catholic. The state organizations 'are working hard for their party candidates. The Republican organization was for Nixon all the way. Gov.. Michael V DiSalle was the first big state governor to support Kennedy, The Democratic Party in Ohio has about three warring fac tions but each of them seems to be trying to outdo the LEE RIDERS For the Family ' Gibson Saddlery 225 West 6th Back Stairs: Redecorating White House By FRANK ELEAZER Washington IUP1I - Back Stairs at the White House: President Eisenhower, good ness knows, is an orderly type and has no intention of leaving the place in a mess when he moves out of the White House next Jan. 20. Congress didn't take any chances though. It fixed things so the new president, whoever he is, can move in with about' $75,000 in hand to repaint, patch up the nail holes, and so forth. The Red Room will remain red, I am assured. And the Green Room will be green, right along, even though the new first lady, like lots of other people, may think the colors a little garish. Never Changed These and other public rooms of the White House the main four rooms where others in their support of Kennedy. Both candidates will return to Ohio several times. Buck eye voters have never hesi tated to cross party lines, never elect all state officials from , the same party. The state voted for Eisenhower twice but went for President Truman over New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in 1948 by 7,000 votes. In the last 12 presidential elections, the state has split evenly between the two parties. . , presidents entertain kings premiers, other presidents and sometimes plain ordinary people-are never changed. Upstairs though, where the president and his family let down their hair, Pat Nixon may want the blue walls painted gray and vice versa, Or Jackie Kennedy may think Mamie's furniture was nice but better suited for, well, older people. Congress put up the money to take care of problems like these under the heading of "extraordinary alteration and repairs" to the executive man sion. It said the money can be spent "as the president may determine, notwithstanding of law." Congress doesn't write many blank checks like that, except now and again for it self. Doesn't Run Down The new occupants at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. won't face quite the usual problems of new tenants anyway. This is one place that is never al lowed to run down. Eisenhower got a half mil lion dollars this year to cover the regular upkeep and oper ation of the 132-room, 20 bath mansion and its grounds. This money, also can be spent at the president's dis cretion. Eisenhower actually will have spent only about half of it when he leaves off ice., The rest will be left to the new president. That is because the government's years, for book keeping purposes, start July 1. Actually Congress appro priated not just $75,000 but $100,000 for costs involved in the White House turn over. But IRe is spending almost $25,000 of this in advance for a fresh coat of paint on the outside of the White House. The painter will be put ting up his ladders any day now. The job takes about two months and 550 gallons of paint. Ike's idea is to have it all done before his successor moves in. The proud low bidder on this prestige joD is Dewey D'Agostino, of Trenton, N. J., who celebrated his grip on the contract by buying a tailor-made suit, a black hom burg, and an $8,240 Lincoln Continental in which to com mute in style back and forth from the job. D'Agostino is all straight now about the color too.' He announced at first they want ed him to paint the White House a "desert sand" color. He could hardly believe It, of course. ' "All a misunderstanding," said a White House official today. "The outside of the White House is and will remain pure white." ' Apparently there are still some things we can count on.
