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..

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

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.
