90 6. 0. P. Members
OF Congress Call for
Eisenhower Victory

Ninety-nine Republican Con-
gressmen who are war veterans
last night denounced Democrats
for astounding bungling" in for
eign affairs and called for the
election of Gen. Eisenhower as
the only man to assure America
"a just and lasting peace"
The statement blamed Presi-
dent Truman for firing Gen. Mac
Arthur at time when he wanted
to occupy all of Korea.
Now" the statement said, 1--WE
are farther away from peace and
a united, free Korea than ever
before. We believe the elec-
tlon of Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Republican Congress is the only
hope of this Nation for a just ana
lasting peace in the Far East, in
Europe and all over the world"
SlgnerS Iaclude Mccarthy.
Signing the statement were 20
Senators and 70 members of the
House. They included Maryland's S
Senator Butler and Representa-
tiveS James P. S. Devereux, Ed
ward T. Miller and j. Glenn Beall.
Others signing included Sen
ators Mccarthy of Wisconsin, Cain
OF Washington. Bennett of Utah,
Case of South Dakota. Martin of

Jersey, Malone of Nevada, KEN
of Missouri, Carlson and Schoep-
pei of Kansas, Jenner and Cape
hart of Indiana, Dirksen of In
diana. Welker and Dworshak of
Idaho and Millikin of Colorado.
They said that if Gen. Eisen-
hover is elected, "the Nation can
look forward to foreign policies of
firmness and consistency.
Pledge Assistance.
I'VE pledge our best efforts to
work with this great leader on the
following program: to end the
Korean war as speedily as possible
and to prevent repetition of the
mistakes that led to the aggres-
sion in Korea; to consider the
interests Of 0,Ir coIIrtyv opd

same time to give hope to peoples
now enSlaved by Communism that
they may some day be free; and
to re-establish the honor and

Dwight D. Eisenhower should
get at least 377 and possibly AIS
electoral votes for an overwhelm-
ing victory in the Tuesday elec-
ticn. Emil Hurja said yesterday.
Mr.. Hurja, Washington poll
tical analyst who years ago was
associated with the Democratic
National Committee, based this
prediction mainly on spot checks
and pilot polls. He said they indi-
Gated a 80 per cent shift from the
Truman vote in 1948 to the pro-
bable Eisenhower vote this year.
In 1948, Mr.. Hurja predicted
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey would de-
feat President Truman by 364 to
167 electoral votes.
He declared yesterday: "Ike
should take virtually all of the
nom South States and cut a gen.
erous slice from the Solid South"
Dormant Vote Is Key.
He explained that Gen. Eisen-
hower's latent strength lies in
the heretofore politically dormant
voters" In this group, he said,
lies the margin between a simple
victory for him and a landslide
that might duplicate the Roose-
velt sweep of 1882.
Noting that the Republicans
need maximum increase of 2.6
percentage points to carry the
electoral college. Mr.. Hurja saw
a possibility that 800 of every
/ 900 persons who voted for Presi-
dent Truman four years ago will
vote for Gen. Eisenhower now.
That would be net increase of
from six to 10 percentage points
for the Republicans, he said.
That alone would give them 284
electoral votes.
However, he stated, "the as
founding result of all the polls
we have conducted this year
shows that those who did not
vote in 1948 but now intend to
do so. split an average of TOT
per cent for Gen Eisenhower
and 1913 per cent for Gov. Ste
venson. This preponderance for
Ike will be the measure of how
big will be his electoral vote.
How He Rates States.
Mr.. Hurja's analysis:

Dos and Don'tS on
Freezing Meats

HERE ARE some points to keep in
mind when freezing meats.
l. Do not freeze hams or bacon.
The salt content of cured products
tends to cause rancidity. However,
unopened canned hams and canned
smoked picnic shoulders may be
stored at zero degrees or below for
year or more.
2. Wrap meats tightly in moisture
proof paper. Seal all edges
with freezer tape or tie packages
securely. After wrapping, imme-
diately freeze meats at zero degrees
or below and store at this tempera-
ture.
8. Freeze only the amounts of
meat your family will be able to use
conveniently. Store no longer than
the recommended storage periods, as
follows: Beef-6 to IL months; fresh
pork and yeal-3 to 6 months; lamb
90 to g months; ground BEES to 4
months; SAUSAGE to 8 months;
variety meats Oliver, tongue, etc)-
to months.

GSA Puts New Buying System
In Effect on Military Furniture

Differences between the furni.
ture in the homes of the colonel's
LADY and Judy O'Grady are ex-
pected to be lessened in the in
terest of Government economies
This became apparent today in
an announcement by the General
Services Administration. The
agency buys more than Sc million
worth Of furniture a year for quar-
ters for the military and for mill
tary and other Government hos
pitals.
Jess Larson, GSA administrator,
said a new buying system will be
put into effect. Types and vari-
eties Of furniture will be reduced,
More suppliers will have a chance
to compete for the business. and
paper work involved will be cut
down.
Furniture for military officers
quarters reflects the rank of the
occupant of the quarters. This
will still be true, but cutting down
the varieties of furniture to be
bought will result, for example, in
less apparent difference between
Evening star., 1952-04-09

the furniture for the lieutenant's
home and that of higher ranks.
"These changes toward stand
ardization bring to the field of
household furniture the same
benefits which GSA inauagurated
in March. 1851, in the Office furni-
ture field" Mr.. Larson said. He
called it another step in the pro-
gram Of Tightening up buying
practices.
