BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 27.-The
Buffalo Evening News said today
that Averell Hartman voted in
the 1852 District of Columbia
primary and therefore might not
be eligible to serve as Governor
of New York.
The News said the possibility
was based on Article Nv, Section
2 of the State Constitution, which
says: mo persons shall be eligi-
BILE to the Office of governor or
lieutenant governor, except q
citizen of the United States .
who shall have been five years
next preceding his election a resi-
dent Of that State"
Mr.. Hartman, the News said
in a story from its Washington
bureau, was reported by WASH
ington papers in 1852 as having
signed statement claiming resi-
dence for one year in the District
of Columbia in order to vote in
the Democratic primary there.
Was on Ballot With Kefauver.
The District of Columbia pri-
mary was a presidential prefer
ence question. Mr.. Hartman,
now the Democratic-Liberal can
didate for Governor of New York,
appeared on the ballot along with
Senator Kefauver, Democrat, of
Tennessee.
Mr.. Hartman was not inn
mediately available for comment.

At Albany, Solicitor General
Wendell Brown said:
IF Mr.. Hartman chose to
make his residence the District
of Columbia, and manifested
evidence as late as 1852, then he
clearly is not eligible to serve as
Governor of New York.
"a person cannot have legal
residence in. two places"
Mr.. Brown said he did not
know of any court decisions on
the point.
Quotes Story in Star.
The question of Mr.. Harri-
mans eligibility, the News added,
probably would have to be settled
in the courts. Any citizen of
New York could bring the action
to have the matter tested. the
News pointed out.
The News said the Washing
ton Star carried a story just be-
fore the 1852 primary quoting
members of the Democratic
Central Committee in Washing
ton as saying the primary was
no more than a straw vote and
"tell all and sundry they don't
have to worry about the pos
sibility of losing their vote by
casting primary ballots here"
Their position has been de-
scribed as extremely dangerous
by Mrs. Clarence Fisher, chair
man of the Voters Service" &C
cording to The Star story quoted
in the News. "She points out
that the only way a voter can be
sure of retaining his franchise is
to obtain an opinion, an advance,
from the attorney general of his
State"
The News also quoted Wash
ington newspapers to the effect
that Senator Kefauver had his
ballot all marked in the WASH
ington primary, but "stuck it in
his pocket instead"
The News said it understood
that "Mr. Hartman voted in
New York State in the November
election of 1882"

The Political Picture
New Jersey Republicans Need
Miracle toGet Case to Senate
6. O. P. Is Split;

By Gould Lincoln
Sfar Staff Correspondent

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 27.-
Former Representative Clifford
P. Case, Republican candidate
for Senator, is caught in a jam
between pro-Democratic senti-
ment stirred up by unemploy-
ment and Republican dissension.
He will perform a political mir
acle If he defeats Representative
Charles r. Howell, his Demo-
cratic opponent.
Yet Mr.. Case, driving harder
than ever in the closing days Of
the campaign, insisted today
things are coming his way; that
he senses an upswing for his
candidacy, and that he will win.
Mr.. Case is an Eisenhower Re-
publican, a liberal Republican,
with the full backing of the Pres
ident. His misfortune is that
some Old Guard Republicans
are apparently willing to cut the
political throat of the G. o. P.
in order to kill off Mr.. Case. They
call him q New Dealer" This
anti-Case sentiment manifested
itself last year, when Mr.. Case
was put forward as a candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination
but finally withdrew from the
race.
Hartley Will Get Votes.
It manifested itself again this
year when former Representa-
tive Fred A. Hartley. of Taft
Hartley fame, demanded that
Mr.. Case give up the Republican
nomination for Senator and let
the State committee pick a sub
stitute, with Mr.. Hartley entirely
willing to become the substitute.
Mr.. Hartley Is now a write-in
candidate as an independent Re-
publican and will take votes
away from Mr.. Case.

Adenauer 10 Arrive
Here Today; Will Sign
Treaty Of Friendship
Germun Chancellor
To Lond With Briefcose
Bereft of Problems


West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer flies into Washing
ton today for a state visit-but
relations between the United
States and West Germany are
so satisfactory that almost no
problems need to be solved at
this time.
Before he leaves on Friday, Mr..
Adenauer will confer once with
President Eisenhower and twice
with Secretary of State Dulles.
He will attend dinners, and speak
at National Press Club lunch
con.
But the only formal agreement
he is likely to make with the
United States is a new Treaty
Of Friendship, Commerce and
Navigation. It probably will be
signed Friday, giving a bit of a
climax to the visit.
President Eisenhower at a
news conference today praised
Mr.. Adenauer as a great states
man. The President said that the
German Chancellor was a man
OF good sense and dedicated to
the peace of the world.
Gen. Eisenhower said the
United States had tremendous
satisfaction in receiving Mr..
Adenauer.
Dinner Tonight.
Secretary Dulles arranged to
meet Mr.. Adenauer when his
plane arrives at National Airport
at 4 pm. Mr.. Dulles will give a
dinner for Mr.. Adenauer tonight.
BY now, Mr.. Dulles and MIR.
Adenauer are well acquainted.
The pair has worked together
during the recent series of Eu-
ropean conferences that planned
the rearming of West Germany
within the North Atlantic
Treaty. Most of the follow-up
problems must be approached
through further multi-nation
meetings rather than in private
talks such as Mr.. Adenauer will
hold here.

Although many Americans
still harbor hatred and suspi-

States officials are glad to point
to Mr.. Adenauer's anti-Nazi
record.

city of Cologne in 1888, Mr.. Ade-
nauer ordered the removal Of a
Swastika' flag from a Rhine
bridge before an expected visit

Large Stores
Oppose Transit
Ride-Free Plan

The "largestore" division Of
the Merchants and Manufacture
ers' Association here today re-
vealed it is unwilling to particle
pate in the Capital Transit Co.
proposed refund ride-free mass
transit proposal for shoppers.
The position of the large de-
partment stores was conveyed to
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss, Dis
trict Engineer Commissioner, in
a letter from E. A. Pritchard, ex-
ecutive vice president of the as
sociation.
1t was understood that while
some of the big stores are in fa-
vor of giving the plan tryout.
others, including the Hecht Co..
woodward & Lothrop, Golden
berg's. Jelleff's and Garfinckel's
were opposed.
The refund ride-free proposal
involved the shoppers paying
regular fares into town and re-
ceiving a free token for the ride
home fro mthe store where the
purchase would be made.
Seek LOng-range Plan.
Although the large stores are
eager to join in any well
thought-out, long-range pro-
gram which will bring more
shoppers to the downtown area"
throughout the year. Mr.. Pritch-
ard wrote. the large-store di-
vision feels that a five-day tril
of the Capital Transit plan would
be too short to prove anything.
If the trial were to extend over
a long period this would prove
"far too costly" to the stores, the
association official added.
Gen. Prentiss said he was dis
couraged" by the department
stores stand. But, he added.
1T still doesn't mean that the

sociation cannot try some sort

sit Co. said that without the par
ticipation Of the big stores, the
plan could not work.
At the same time, the company
disclosed that the so-called "Buf-
falo plan" will go into effect
next Monday for q 30-day trial
period in an understanding
reached between the transit firm
and the Columbia Heights Busi-
nessmen's Association.
Transfer Plan.
Under this plan, a shopper
paying regular fare on a Cap
ital Transit vehicle would be
issued transfer that would per-
nit him to shop in the Colum-

car or bus to continue in the di-
rection of the original ride. Such
transfers would not be good for
return trips.
This would enable the shopper
primarily to continue downtown
to do his shopping if he was un-
able to find what he wanted in
the Columbia Heights area.
The transit company state
ment declared:
Without the support of the
large department stores, the
refund, ride-free proposal lacks
the impetus to make it successful
from the point of view of helping
to relieve downtown traffic con-
gestion by the furtherance of
mass transit use.
However, we will be glad to
pursue the matter further with
the smaller stores, through the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association, in an effort to work
out an arrangement paralleling
the Buffalo plan or an arrange
ment similar to that jointly
agreed to by the Columbia
Heights Businessmen's Associa-
ton and Capital Transit"

Eisenhower PuzzIedby Apathy
Of Voters; Hopes to Make
Four-City Flying Tour Friday
Says Trip Depends
On His Schedule;
Won't t Predict Vote
BY Gornett D. Horner

President Eisenhower said
today he is puzzled by apparent
apathy of Americas voters
regarding next Tuesdays con-
gressional elections and would
like to do some stirring up to
get the people to vote.
He told~a news conference
his first in 10 weeks-that he
would not try to predict out
come Of the elections but Ger
tainly can hope for election of
q Republican-led Congress.
Under pressure from Republi-
can leaders for a last-minute
politicking drive to give per-
sonal boost to G. o. P. candi-
dates in several key States, the
President said he might make a
flying trip Friday to speak at
airports in four cities.
It has not been determined
yet whether such a trip can be
fitted into his tight schedule. he
said. But he emphasized that
he would like to do something to
dramatize his desire to see every
body vote-that he would like to
do some stirring up.
Suggested Stops.
The President didn't name the
four cities but there have been
reports that G. o. P. leaders
want him to visit Detroit, Louis
vile, Minneapolis, Boston, Viii
mington, Del, and Waterloo.
Iowa.
The biggest complaint he hears
from Republican campaigners is
about voter apathy, the Presi-
dent said. And he asserted that
he simply could not understand
why there should be such apathy.
Asked If he thought the apa-
thetic attitude of voters could
be ascribed to "disenchantment"
with his administrations pro-
gram, the President bridled
angrily and asked his questioner
what he would expect him to
answer.
Then he said that one answer
that comes to him is that the
people are too well satisfied with
his administration-that far from
disenchantment there is too
much satisfaction for people to
take the trouble to go to the
polls.
Rejects Vote as Test.
Gen. Eisenhower rejected any
idea that the congressional elec-.
tions should be regarded as a
test of the peoples confidence
in him and his administration.
To the contrary, he told the
questioners, it seems to be a
complaint from the Republican
side that the people do not con-
slider that the President is in
volved in their choice of Senate
and House members.
One of the reasons that he
would really like to get out for
one day and dramatize the need
for getting out the vote is to
emphasize that he considers the
congressional election as i'm
portant as a presidential election,
he added.
The President had been urged
by some Republican leaders to
make a two-day trip this week
end into key States where Re
publican senatorial candidates
are hard pressed. He said ex-
animation of his schedule shows
that the only possible day he
could be out of Washington be-
fore the election is Friday.
Whether he will make political
tour that day will be determined
in the next few hours, he added.
Would Pay for Flight.
# he does make such a tour,
he said it would be in a char
tered plane. Presumably the
charter expense would be paid
by the Republican National
Committee. because to use the
Presidents personal plane, the
