OREGON Republicans, Democrats In Battle For Colorado Posts Edllor'i NoteThis is another ol . organized labor but may be lack. teverai suure oy loving Assocl.ing some conservative Democratic By JACK BELL DENVER -Republicans and Democrats might swap a GOP governorship lor a Democratic Senate scat in a free-lor-all Colo rado election batUe that also may aller the present even split of four House of Representatives seats. As in other states, leaders of the two parties disagree on the trend. President Eisennower seems to have given OOP candidates a lift by his presence, although de clining to campaign locally for them. 1 The Democrats have whipped together a ticket topped by Ben. Edwin C. Johnson, 70-year-old vet eran of two terms in the Siatehouse and 18 years in the Senate. They contend it is the best they have offered in Colorado in years. Nearly all observers here give Johnson a definite edge over youth ful Republican State Sen. Donald C. Brotiman in the race to fill the governor's chair being vacated by Republican Dan Thornton. On the other hand, there is a solid -segment of opinion shared in some high Democratic places that Republican Lt. Gov. Gordon Allott may be able to take the measure of former Rep. John Car roll in the contest to fill the Senate place Johnson is vacating. In the battle for two House Jobs held down by Republicans, the Democrats are crowing about their chances of winning one and hold' ine the two they now possess. Re. publicans say privately they would be glad to settle for the present equal division. Despite some Democratic cool. liess toward his candidacy, Carroll said in an interview he believes lie and the rest of his party's ticket are "on top today." Carroll Is a former adviser to tx-President Truman and likes to be classed as "an old Roosevelt man." He is solidly backed by suppsrt. Allolt, who is backing Eisenhow er's flexible farm price supporis with the reservation that he will take any feasible steps to prevent any dip in farmers' income, said he expect his plugs for the Eisen hower program to pay otf at the polls. Carroll has vigorously assailed the flexible farm price support program and Democratio former Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan is campaigning; the state against it. "President Eisenhower is still a major factor In the people's po litical, ininking," Allott declared "They were steamed up over him two years ago and a great many of them are saying that he has goi to have some help in Washington. in we lorm of the Republican Con. gress, if he Is going to get any. thing done." Carroll, a Denver resident, must buck the fact that the capital city already claims one senator in Re. publican Eugene Millikin. This may be o.' some benefit to Al mar in southeastern Colorado. Brotzman, who lists himself as "an Eisenhower man," said he is "a firm believer with the Presi dent 'that certain functions now exercised by the federal govern ment should be returned to the states." Brotzman is considered to be suffering politically from his spon sorship in the Legislature of a move by Gov. Thornton to un freeze the 85 per cent of Colorado's excise taxes that now goes under the constitution to old age pen sions, welfare and other specified activities. There are about 53,000 old age pensioners who now get the highest average level of pay ments in the United States. Asserting, that Colorado issboom- Ing, Brotzman said, "The state is too young to retire under the lead ership of a man who is 10 years old." Johnson replied equals experience." that Gov. Thornton, retiring this year! to look after business interests, said he thinks Johnson's endorse ment of Carroll has "hurt them both." Johnson and Carroll have engaged in political strife within their parly for 20 years. George F. Rock, Democratic na tional committeeman, said his pap ty is concentrating heavy fire on the 3rd Congressional District. "nothing I There Republican Rep. J.

Nimiiz Warns Of Oil Shortage SAN FRANCISCO (! Adm. Chester w. Nlmitz says U.S. de fenses are weakened by a "glar ing" shortage of oil storage facili ties on the Eastern Seaboard. Speaking before the Common- wealth Club yesterday, tne retired chief of naval operations said that not long ago the battleship Mis. t-ourl was required to snake a trip to Turkey on a diplomatic mission, "but there wasn't enough fuel oil available in the entire New York area to fill her tanks."
