Colorado Wife Sells Women
On EIecting G. O. P. Congress
Mrs. Harris Leeds
Porty Drive for
Distuff Votes
BY Isabelle Shelton

A blond, fragile looking house,
wife and mother, Mrs. Ellen
Harris of Denver, is in charge
of lining up independent women
voters this fall for Eisenhower
minded members of Congress.
Mrs. Harris is co-chairman OF
the National Citizens for Eisen-
hover Congressional Committee.
which concludes a three-day
national conference here today.
The organization is a revival
of the Citizens for Eisenhower
Nixon Committee, which was
credited with considerable sue
cess among independent voters
in 1852. Mrs. Harris holds the
post occupied in 1852 by Mrs.
Oswald Lord, now United States
delegate to the U. N. Committee
on Human Rights.
Her task is much more COM
pick than that which confronted
Mrs. Lord, however, and the
| completely is one that afiictS
| the entire organization.
The job in 1852 was concen-
trated and clearcut. The organi-
cation was selling just two can
didates-a national hero and his
running mate.
Some IncOngruitieS.
This time its goal Is election
of a Republican Congress ito
support President Eisenhower
dynamic and progressive pro-
gram" This involves wrapping
the mantle of the Eisenhower
charm around some shoulders
on which it does not sit easily.
Much of the opposition to the
Presidents program has come
from Republican members of
Congress.
After the first rather unpro-
ductive session of Congress last
year, some Citizens for EiSen-
hover actually were toying with
the idea of supporting right
thinking" Democrats against
anti Eisenhower Republicans.
The Republican National Com
mittee promptly vetoed that
quixotic notion.
At present the organization is
operating under a somewhat tor
tured formula, which even its
chief officers have difficulty ex-
planning. 1t goes something like
| this:
Eisenhower must have Re-
publican Congress, or there won't
be a Republican committee
chairman to bring his bills to
the floor. The way to assure
this is to concentrate in the
marginal districts - those in
which the incumbent won last
time by less than 5 per cent Zone
official said there were IS such
districts; another said 1900.
Aid for a Pledge.
The organization will go into
district only If it is invited by
the candidate. 1t also will re-
Spond to a call from a candi-
date outside the marginal dis
tricts. In each case the candi-
date must pledge to support the
Eisenhower program, thus avoid
| ing the embarrassing question Of
a past anti Eisenhower record.
The formula runs into trouble
in q State like Illinois, whose
delegates this week were talking
labout supporting Joseph Meek,
Illinois q. o. p. senatorial candi-
date, an about admirer Of Sen
ator Joseph Mccarthy. Mr..
Meek is opposing the liberal
Democrat, Senator Paul Doug
las, who has attacked the Pres
ident on economic policy and
the tidelands oil bill, but has
supported most other Eisenhower
policies.

Even victory by Case would

President Nixon could break a tie
in their favOr-unless some Demo-
Gratis chose to vote with them, or
absented themselves, or unless
party leaders decided to let the
COP have control on a voice vote.
There were several factors
which might influence the Demo-
Gratis against any such decision as
Hayden suggested. For one thing,
they picked up eight gOveTnOrships
in Tuesdays election, and a Sen
ate seat normally changes pOliti-
cal complexion only when a sena-
tor of one party dies in a state
with a governor Of the other.
democrats mOlu HOUSE
Then, too, the Democrats had
won control of the House; COP
organization of the Senate might
lead to friction on that score. And
some Democratic veterans in line
for chairmanships might be reluc-
tant to relinQuish them voluntarily.
Hayden, 77-year-Old Democrat
who ranks second in Senate service
to Senator Walter George (D-Ga),
told the Phoenix, ATiE., Press Club
that Democrats would be %reluc-
tant" to organize the Senate if
they had a majority Of only one.
Hayden, who would head the
powerful Senate Appropriations
Committee under a change Of COM
mand said that Democrats will
have to talk it over" before they
act.
He said also the Senate's sched-
uled consideration of censure
charges against Senator Joseph r
Mccarthy (R-Wis), beginning next
Monday, might be delayed by the
election.
Action Is Uncertain

And despite the claims Of some

Who Killed the Lion? q Did" Says Count It's a Matter of Honor"

NAIROBI, Kenya, R-Count Alessando di Bugnano, Italian consul here, lodged diplomatic protest with the Kenya govern ment Tuesday that he alone killed a runaway lioness which terror ized a European suburb of the city Monday.
 My shots killed the beast" said the count. "The Greek consul saw me do it <. this is a matter of honor"
 But Rodney Elliott, a game ranger who stalked the big beast through the streets, differed with the count.
 q shot it," Elliott said. -Four other rangers saw me do it."
 The lioness was shot in a gar den about 300 yards from the Italian consulate Di Bugnano had spent the day with rangers track ing the animal, which came from the Nairobi game park. The count claimed the rangers only wounded the animal while his shots killed it.
 The count said he used special lead bullets imported from Italy and post mortem now underway would show his bullets were the lethal ones.

Northwest Passage Seen As Key to Vast Mineral Empire in North Canada

VICTORIA, B.C., tR,-The North west Passage, which for centuries has stirred the imaginations of mariners and landlubbers alike, may one day be the key to open a vast mineral empire in Canada's northland.
 Capt. Owen Robertson, skipper of the Canadian ship Labrador, latest ship to navigate the pass age, says the route his vessel chartered would be essential to bring out the north's great iron, copper, oil and coal resources. He explains:
 q know those resources exist because I have seen them with my own eyes . . some day when we get atomic power in the north we will use these resources to be- come one of the great creditor nations of the world"
 The most formidable obstacle encountered by the Labrador was soft ice: ramming through "slush ice" is like hitting a feather pillow" The ship "just sang in and got nowhere" Hard ice was comparatively simple. The Lab radon just charged, backed out, and made another run.

 Federal Judge George Folta or dered that the terms run concur rently. Under good behavior, Mar shall, who is about 40, will be eligible for parole in about four years.
 Marshall, who disappeared from Ketchikan early this year, was found working as a bellhop in Portland. He waived both counsel and grand jury action on his re- turn here, permitting him to be brought to trial without indict- ment.
 He told Judge Folta that his personal troubles had become un- bearable and that was the reason he left Ketchikan after waterfront employers charged him with en- bezzling around $16,000.
