Eisenhower Likely
To Step Up Role in
6. 0. P. Vote Drive
President Seen Yielding
To Porty Pressure for
Personal Campaigning
BY Gornett D. Horner
Star Staff Correspondent

DENVER, Oct. 6-President
Eisenhower is expected to step
up his personal campaigning for
election of a Republican Con-
gress as a result of mounting
pressures from worried G. o. P.
leaders.
Decision on just how much
more political stumping the
President will do in the four
weeks until election day prob
ably will be decided on at a
strategy conference with Senate
and House Republican leaders
here Friday evening.
Nixon Due Tonight.
Vice President Nixon is flying
to the Presidents work-and-play
vacation headquarters here TO-
night and will have opportunity
to discuss campaign strategy
with Gen. Eisenhower in ad-
vance of the Friday conference.
In advance of these talks, the
President took a day off today
for relaxation by fishing for
trout on the ranch of Bal Swan,
Denver banker friend, near
Pine, Colo, some 40 miles away.
The President put his personal
popularity behind the campaigns
for House seats of four Repub-
licap candidates today. They are
Henry Zipf of Arizona, Erwin
II. Schwiebert of Idaho and Will
liam B. Butler and Bruce Alger
of Texas. They came here to
have their pictures made with
Gen. Eisenhower at his Lowry
Air Force Base Office.
Seeks Direct Appeals.
But what G.. o. P. Strategists
want most from the President
are more hard-hitting direct
appeals to voters across the
country to elect Republicans to
Congress, like he made in the
Hollywood Bowl September %
when he said a Republican-led
Congress was essential to carry
forward his program for the Ma
tion's welfare and prevent two
years of "stagnation and mac
ton" in Washington.
He is billed for another such

Powell Loses
Move 10 Block
Jury Probe
Ordered to Appear;
BrowneII Forms Unit
To Take FHA Cuses

Clyde L. Powell, ousted Federal
Housing Administration assist
ant commissioner, today lost a
last-minute court effort to block
a grand jury investigation which
has summoned him to appear.
Just before Mr.. Powell went
into court the Justice Depart
ment announced the setting up
of a new unit in the criminal
division to handle the mounting
number of cases arising from the
FILA scandals.
Mr.. Powell has been a central
figure in a Senate Banking
Committee investigation of FILA
practices leading to windfalls by
builders. Yesterday it was tes-
titled he received $4,000 from
one architect before he would
approve an FHA-insured loan.
Motion Denied.
District Judge F. Dickinson
Let's denied a motion by Mr..
Powell to quash a subpoena for
his appearance before the spe-
cial grand jury convening today,
and at the same time upheld the
validity of the grand jury over
arguments by Attorney Daniel
B. Maher that it has been un-
fairly influenced by publicity and
statements emanating from the
Justice Department.
Attorney General Brownell
also announced that Max H.
Goldschein, top criminal prose-
cutor, had been named to work
with United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover in the presentation to
the grand jury. Mr.. Goldschein
will Coordinate the District in
vestigation with those of other
Federal districts.
The Justice Department said
the special grand jury here will
inquire into bribery and other
criminal conduct in the Federal
housing program, and specifically
into the conduct of Powell, who
had charge Of the rental hous-
ing program which operated
from 1916 to 1850 and resulted
in windfalls to spectators ex-
ceeding $51 million alone in 285
cases reviewed by the Housing
and Home Final <e Agency"
Cites Political Motives.
In his petition filed today, Mr..
Maher asked the District Court
to take judicial notice of count
less predictions in newspapers
and political forecasters that
there would be political indict-
mentS returned against mem
berS of the former administra-
tion prior to the November elec-
tions."
Mr.. Maher argued that the
Attorney General was making
"a patent attempt to use as an
arm of the United States Dis
trict Court as an inStrumentality
OF political propaganda"
He referred to a statement by
