The folloiUing is a partial
transcript of that part of PreSi-
dent EiSenhoWer's neDS con-
ference yesterday dealing lUit1,
his comments about Tuesdays
election results:
President Eisenhower opened
his press conference with a
brief statement saying he was
not completely pleased and
happy with the results in some
places. but that he believes
the job of the Administration
in Washington is to provide
a dynamic and forward-look-
ing program for the United
States. He said his admins
tration is going to do that and
he believes that in the long
run it will win. He commented
that he had lost skirmishes
before.
Q.-(Merriman Smith, Unit
ed Press. Mr.. President may
we quote that line II have lost
skirmiShes before?"
A.-The President said he
guessed that would be all right,
that he just didn't want to
start some precedents. Then
he continued that the program
his administration is develop
ing is for the welfare of 100
million people. He said he be-
lieves the farm programs, the
tax programs, the foreign aid
programs, the expenditure pro-
grams, the programs of clean
ing up government, getting
honesty, decency, efficiency
and good management are go
ing forward and when they
are exposed in their full per-
formance to the American
people he has every confidence
that they will approve them.
@. (Merriman SMITH Mr..
President getting back to the
subject of voting yesterday,
Representative Clarence Brown.
Republican of Ohio, said
Just little while ago, 1.-THE
people voted for a change and
they don't feel that they got
it," I wonder what your re-
action to that is, sir.
A. The President said it was
his opinion that the kind of
change the people wanted is
an orderly and progressive
change, not just any other
kind, and that they are going
to get it and are getting it.
@. (Anthony Leviero. New
York Times) Mr.. President. I
think you gave us an unfln-
iShed statement. I think you
said you had lost skirmishes
before. Does that mean you
expect to win the war?
A. The President replied he
had never gone into one to
lose it.

Plans for Helping
Candidates Next Year

@. CWilliam Lawrence, New
York Times) Mr.. President,
Mr.. Hagerty on Friday told us,
in supplementing your own
press conference remarks Of
last week. that you favored the
election of every Republican
in every election for any Office
anywhere. Does that carry
through into 1854, and without
regard to the record of a Re-
publican, let's say. in support
ing your program?
A. The President said no,
that the statement, after all.
had to be based necessarily on
a certain assumption which
takes into consideration the
statement he had made time
and again, which he sincerely
believes: A man standing for

record for honesty. integrity
before the public, and you

Rioters in Trieste
Fired On by Police;
One Reported Killed
BY the Assoeioted Press

TRIESTE, Nov. S. = Police
opened fire on rioting pro-Italian
students in this disputed Adriatic
port city today. Unofficial re-
ports said one student was killed
and four or five others wounded.
1t was the second day of riot
ing here by pro-Italian demon
strators. Before resorting to
gunflre, the motorized police used
tear gas and clubs to break up
the rioting. The students hurled
bricks. There were many injured
among both police and students.
At one point today, police went
after students who had sought
refuge in the Church of Saint
Anthony, in downtown Trieste.
beating them and driving them
out of the church and causing
panic among persons praying
there.
Ringleaders Seized.
First reports said many were
injured, including police and
students, and taken to hospitals
for treatment.
Police took several of the ring
leaders into custody.
Students skipped classes and
began gathering in Trieste's
main streets. Their numbers
grew until they reached about
5000. They converged on Largo
Barriera, a central Trieste
square. There, Trieste's British
trained territorial police began
trying to disperse them.
The police, many of them in
red jeeps. carried riot guns and
! tear gas bombs.
Students Stone Police.
The students withdrew to two
main squares near the city's
waterfront where they began
stoning the police. The police
drove into the rioters, swinging
/ their clubs.
One group of students stoned
and overturned a British army
jeep in a side street.
Meanwhile, United States

of the gentlemen running for
Office, but he does believe this:
That the United States doesn't
want to return to 1892. He
believes the United States
wants to take a look at where
we are now and see what to
do now for the benefit of this
whole and great Nation, its
equilibrium among it's differ
ent parts at home and its
standing abroad, to include
certainly it's safety and it's Sc
curity and its growing pros
perity.
@. (Peter Edison, Newspaper
Enterprise Association Do you
think the results of the elec-
ton were entirely the results
of local conditions, and that
national politics did not play
an important part in them?
A. The President said he
couldn't give an honest an
Swer because he is not familiar
enough with it.

Vote as Reflection
On Administration

Q. (Marvin Arrowsmith, AS
Sociated PreSs)-Mr. President,
do you believe that yesterdays
results reflect any dissatisfac-
ton with Administration poll
icy?
A. Gen. Eisenhower said he
would let Mr.. Arrowsmith an
SWer that one himself.
@. CRal Scherer, NBC)-
Back to your program, sir,
you said that this program
you hoped would be an UNI
brella under which you hoped
your candidate would stand.
I am wondering if you think it
is at all possible or conceivable
that Democrat might sneak
in under that umbrella.
A. The President said he
had been told that several of
them said they were under
that umbrella. He said there
are certain areas in the United
States where a man could be-
lieve in the general political
field exactly as he (the Pres
ident does, and be under an
other political label. In such
case he would run on such a
program.
@. (Robert Clark, Interna-
tional News Service) Mr.. Pres
ident, some of those areas pre-
sumably would be Texas and
Louisiana. What if a Repub-
lican were running against a
Democrat?
A. Gen. Eisenhower COM
mented that people are always
trying to take him either into
Texas, Kansas, Maine or some
where and put him in a spe-
cif1c campaign fight. He doesn't
think it wise to comment on
such things in advance other
than to say that his job is
here, and he is verT, very busy
right here. He believes that
normally those things will
have to be left to the localities
to battle out for themselves.
@. Merriam SMITH Won
der if you could tell us your
ideas for correcting the situa-
ton that led to the result Of
the voting yesterday from a
party standpoint.
AS the President said that,
as the correspondents know,
he is a novice in politics, that
he has never claimed to be a
politician. He said he must
pin his faith to this: That he
believes in the common sense
of the American people when
they are informed. He be-
lieves the party not only has
to inform them as to the basic
facts but has to devise and put
forward and enact a program
that the mass of the American
people will say is a good one.
He said he doesn't know Of
any other way not only to win
votes but to deserve votes. He
doesn't believe you deserve
votes unless there is a record

Lack OF Patronage
As Cause of Losses

@. (Charles Lucey, Scripps-
Howard). Do you think, Mr..
President, that failure of the
Republicans to get enough jobs
and patronage so as to cause
dissatisfaction in local organi-
cations might weaken the
party at election?
A. Gen. Eisenhower said he
had been told so but further
than that he had no opinion
on the matter.
Q. (Mr. Lucey0 Are you 60
ing to do anything about it?
A. Gen. Eisenhower said this
is what he believes very thor
oughly: That any administra-
ton coming in has to move as
rapidly as is feasible and prac-
ticable to get policy making
positions and the very highest
administrative positions filled
by people who believe in the
general policies pursued by
that administration; but he
also believeS>th unless the
Sanctity of the Civil Service
is observed our country will
be in a very, very bad spot.
He said the job is to steer
your way through these two
sometimes conflicting consid-
erations. Consequently, what
is going on in these localities
is a rather difficult-a rather
tortuous job of getting in be-
tween and protecting the Civil
Service and getting rid of
people that are trying to use
Civil Service jobs for politics,
which is prohibited by law, and
also to get policy-making posi-
tions filled by people who be-
lieve as the administration
does.
@. (Alan S. Emory, Water
town Tines. Mr.. President,
one of the major Republican
campaign promises last year,
one, I think, which was borne
out in the election results, was
that the Republicans had
pledged to clean up the mess
in Washington. I wondered if
it is your understanding that
any of the election results of
yesterday might have applied
to local meSses?
A. Gen. Eisenhower COM
mented that, again, he would
prefer to stay in Washington.
But he added that he believes
the American people do want,
and properly want, honesty
and integrity in every single
dealing of their Government
and all the people that have
to do with it.

must have confidence in his
character. He said it is con-
ceivable that those conditions
will not always be met. Under
such conditions it would be i'm
proper to go cut to support any
such person He pointed out
he had never said he was going
in and indorse anybody by
name, anyway. He said his
position was that he is working
for the kind of support and
teamwork the Republican Par
ty can give him. and that he
is going to work for the pro-
duction of program of ac-
compliShment that they can
support. He said he believes
in party responsibility and
wants to see the Republicans
come back here with a good,
comfortable majority so that
party can be held responsible
by the American people for
what they do
@. (William Lawrence, New
York Times) I was trying to
draw the line as to whether
you would support Republicans
who do not support you.
A. The President suggested
the question be raised at an
other time, that he didn't
think he was prepared to give
a good answer to the question.
Q. David Sentner. Hearst
Newspapers Mr.. President, in
view of the election results, do
you contemplate any reapprai-
sal OF certain portions of your
program, as it were, a new look
on the program you will pre-
sent to the next session of
Congress?
A. The President said no.
His problem is to devise a pro-
gram that meets the general,
the composite conviction of the
group that is associated with
him, that it is for the welfare
of the United States, and some
vicissitudes of politics here and
there would have no effect on
it whatever. He sale" he didn't
mean to say the administra-
tion is not going to try to put
it up forcefully and in good
packaging. But they are going
to try to make it on the same
principles that he has talked
ever since he was tempted to
say he would enter the politi-
cal field

Year Without Death
Of CurdinuI Passes
By the Associated Press

VATICAN CITY. Nov. 5.-For
the first time since 1922 the pom
tifical mass held annually on No
vember 5 for cardinals who died
during the preceding II months
was not held today. The reason:
No cardinals have died.
The news was doubly surpris-
ing because many members of
the sacred college of the Roman
Catholic Church are rs or more
years old. The college was
brought to its full membership
of 70 for the first time in some
200 years last January when the
Pope named "a new cardinals.
It is still at full quota.

the others and they get their
case presented in better fash
ion. He said he believes in the
jury system and that, by and
large. there is no jury in the
world as accurate as the en-
tire American people, even if
they make errors occasionally.
But they were exercising good
sense because they went to the
polls and voted.

State of Party
As Result of Election

@. (Marvin Arrowsmith).
Mr.. President, the Republican
chairman, Leonard Hall. in
commenting on yesterdays
election results, said that there
was no question about it, THAT
as of today we are in trouble
politically" Do you agree
with Mr.. Hall?
A: The President answered
that the Republican party has
for many years been minority
party in the United States. He
said the only way they can
possibly win elections is to win
support from people who class
themselves as independents, or,
ike-minded people within the
Democratic Party. He said
that means it isn't merely done
on a basis of going out and
having party machinery turn
ing out the vote or anything of
that kind, there must be some
thing solid, progressive and
real on which to base your ar
gument. He said he wouldn't
talk about whether the Re-
publicans are in trouble or not,
that he never got satisfaction
out Of looking backwards eX-
cept to find out where he made
his own mistakes.
@ Martin Hayden, Detroit
News: Do you attach any
significance, sir, to the fact
that both in the Wisconsin and
in the New Jersey congressional
elections, the seats were va
Gated by very liberal Repub-
licans and more conservative
Republicans were unable to
hold them?
A: The President replied
that he didn't know the basis
of the question to be a fact
because he didn't know either
