Only Eisenhower Can
Cut Info Democratic
Vote, Hoffman Says

Paul G. Hoffman, former Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
tor and now an avid Eisenhower
supporter, believes Gen. Eisen-
hover is the only man who can
overcome the numerical fact that
there are more Democrats than
Republicans.
Mr.. Hoffman now president OF
the Ford Foundation. spoke at an
Eisenhower dinner last night al
the Shoreham Hotel. Dinner cost
$50 per head.
He declared:
THE Republican Party is the
minority party today. We have
approximately 1875 million regis
tered to the Democrats 21.5 mil
lion.
Our position is even less favor
able If We consider electoral votes
In the 1948 election, the Demo-
Gratis and State Fighters had 342
electoral votes to our 189.
Our great hope Of course, lies
In the independent vote"
Is Million Independents.
Mr.. Hoffman went on to say
that there are about Is million
voters in the United States who
consider themselves as indepen-
dents. He said that all opinion
polls showed that Gen. Eisenhow-
er had a commanding lead with
the independent voters.
He declared:
Ever since the progressives
and young people were driven out
Of the party in 1912 (the year
William Howard Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt split the Republi-
can Party and Woodrow Wilson
took the presidency We have been
an unbalanced party-a party of
older people, run by older people.
This is our chance to bring the
young people back and give them
a real place in our party coun-
sells"
He said Gen. Eisenhower is the
man to bring in the independent
voters, as well as several million
Democrats.
Perhaps I should state that,
unlike certain high priests in the
Republican Party, I have no OBJ
lection to the inf1ltration Of Dem
ocrats into our party" he said.
Sizes Up California.
In short press conference be-
fore his formal address, Mr.. Hoff-
man said he had just spent the
day with delegates to the Repub-
Ican convention from California.
He said he was convinced that
some so of the 70 California dele
gates would be for Gen. Eisen-
hover if released. from their
pledge for Gov. Warren of Cali
fornia as a presidential candi-
date.
Gov. Warren has pledged him
self to release the delegates
rather than deadlock the conven-
tion." Mr.. Hoffman said. IF he
does, the Taft people themselves
admit that about so or so of the
delegates will go for Eisenhower. "
Senator Duff, Republican, OF
Pennsylvania, was at the head
table at the dinner.
The dinner was preceded by
cocktails in the un-air-condi-
toned lobby of the Shoreham

BY NAL BOYLE
NEW YORK R-Do you want to
live to be 100 years old?
There are more people trying to
reach this goal every year, and
the best way to start is to be born
a girl.
Just as women can hold on to a
dollar better than men, they now
hold on longer to life. Lady CEN
tenarians outnumber gentlemen
centenarians by wide. wide. mar
gin. You can't beat the feminine
passion for property, even in the
matter Of piling up years. They
won't let 60 of q good thing.
How can men live longer? That
is very easy. Take q tip from the
girls, fellows. Live like they do.
Take 1t easy.
DR.. Morris Fishbein gave the
key to longer life the other day:
''Imperturbability." That is T.
syllable word meaning calm down
don't get excited"
Women instinctively and by pref
erence lead quieter lives than men,
They conserve their energy better.
Men can get excited over any tri.
fling thing, and do. Nothing really
excites a woman except well,
except, possibly a man. And as
soon as she gets him she again
usually resumes the even tenor
/ mean soprano Of her ways.
This was crisply but by a lady
centenarian some years ago. who
explained her victory over time
by saying:
Whenever | had an emergency
in my life, met it by going to
bed"
