IN NEW ENGLAND B-Gov. Ad-
lai Stevenson swung into the final
and decisive week of the presi-
Dental campaign today on whirl-
wind drive to capture the 73 elee-
toral votes of Massachusetts, Con-
neeticut, Rhode Island and New
YORK
HIS crowded schedule called for
him to open the days effort with
a whistlestop talk in Quincy,
Mass, and then ten speeches later
appear for a night address in New
York City's Harlem.
Both Stevenson and his COP OPP
ponent, Gen Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er, we're slugging it out for the
votes Of the industrial East in
these final days before Nov. 4.

the contest.
Yesterday, Stevenson spent a
busy day in Boston and nearby
cities making what he called mon
political" speeches and appear
ances-and drawing big, cheering
crowds wherever he went.
Interest in the campaign seemed
TO be building up TO the highest
peak of all ti~'es with no signs Of a
levelling off in the response by
voters.
The days speaking schedule
listed Quincy, BrOekton, and At.
tleboro. Mass; Providence and
Woonsoeket, r. L.; Putnam. Nor

and Bridgeport, Conn; and Har-
lem.
In the electoral college, New
York has IS votes, Massachusetts
Is woes, Connecticut 8 votes and
Rhode Island votes-makiRg a
total of 7s or more than Is per
cent of the 266 votes needed for

DC. Heads Withdraw
Support Of NCHA on
Lily Ponds DWELLINGS

The Commissioners late yester-
day decided to overturn their
earlier decision and voted against
the permanent site for Lily Ponds
Dwellings proposed by National
Capital Housing Authority.
Part of the reason for the re-
Iversal was the objection voiced by
civic groups in the Kenilworth
area in which the site was pro-
posed. Temporary low-cost hous-
ing has been located there fol
several years. But the citizens
expressed desire to develop the
section through private, rather
than public, interests.
The Commissioners, in thei1
ruling, however, said that if and
when NCHA makes adequate pro-
vision for streets, sewers and
other improvements in the pro-
posed site area, they may recon-
slider their decision of yesterday.

of temporary low-cost housing
