NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-com-
ing into the stretch in New
York's gubernatorial race: Har-
riman in the lead. Ives moving
up.
With only four days to go,
opinion here has it that the Re-
publican candidate. Senator Irv-
ing Ives. is gaining support. One
objective observer who has trav-
eled over the State says that
either Senator Ives or w. Averell
Hartman, Democrat, may win
by as narrow a margin as 100.-
900 to 10000 votes.
Not so the Democratic camp,
however. It sees Mr.. Hartman
winning by at least 100000. It
estimates that Mr.. Hartman will
carry greater New York City by
100000 to 100000 votes and that
it will hold Senator Ives ad-
vantage upstate to less than
500, 900. Carmine De Sapio. Tam

riman for Governor over young

Democratic Hopes.
Why all this confidence? The
Democrats believe, first, that a
national Democratic trend" is
on and that it will be effective
in New York State. and second,
they believe in and are greatly
heartened by the New York Daily
News poll, which has shown Mr.
Hartman consistently in the
lead-a poll which has been

Manpower Wasted
In Police Brutality
Probe, Murray Says
No Evidence Found to
Warrant Disciplinary
Action. He Declares

Police Chief Robert v. Murray
yesterday protested the great
waste of manpower" involved in
investigating a dozen Juvenile
Court complaints against police
and reported that probe pro-
duced no evidence to warrant
disciplinary action against any
policeman.
Chief Murray made the COM
ments in sending Commissioner
Samuel Spencer the results of
exhaustive Investigations made
by police of IL of the II cases
sent to him by Juvenile Court
Judge Edith II. Cockrill.
The Juvenile Court Advisory
Committee last June charged
that police used brutality and in
timidation in juvenile cases, and
Juvenile Court Judge Edith
Cockrill backed up her commit
tee and gave the press number
of specific instances which she
claimed proved her point.
Chief Murray followed up this
release by calling on Judge
Cockrill to turn over the in
formation to him. The police
Investigations followed.

the details of each case, would
like to point out certain observa-
tions regarding this entire
matter.
There has been a tremendous
expenditure of man-hours by
high ranking officials of this De-
partment, as well as the rank

these Investigations. I feel that
there has been a great waste of

alarming condition exists.

stop" speech Of full day of air
borne campaigning to "stir up"
votes for G. o. P. candidates in
four States regarded as crucial In
the Republican battle to retain
control of Congress.
Senator Ferguson, Michigan
Republican in a stiff battle for
reelection, got an especially
strong plug from the President
in his second speech of the day
at Detroit.
"By all means, we must send
him back" Gen. Eisenhower
said of the Senate Republican
Policy Committee chairman amid
cheers from an estimated crowd
of 10000 gathered under threat
ening skies in Detroit's Cadillac
Square.
Sees "Upswing."
Recognizing Detroit's unem-
ployment problem, the President
declared that things are on
the upswing" and promised that
as long as a single American
can't find work his administra-
tion would be trying to help
solve the problem because we
have Government with heart"
The Importance attached by
the President to his Michigan
appearance in behalf of Senator
Ferguson was demonstrated by
the fact that he drove into the
heart of Detroit-with the white
haired Senator riding beside him
in an open car through cheering
crowds on the city's streets-to
deliver his campaign talk.
His other appearances today,
at Cleveland and later at Louis
vile, KY. and Wilmington, Del,
were limited to the airports near
those cities.
In speaking at Detroit of
growing prosperity" the Presi-
dent said that Is per cent more
housing construction is going on
this month than in October last
year. He called it the greatest
construction program in the en-
tire history Of the country.
"Best Peacetime Year."
by every index by which we
measure the wealth of the Ma
,tion," he declared, this is by
far the best peacetime year of
our history"
He said 81 million Americans
are working and that I'VE are
getting employment without
war;" He asserted that greater
numbers of unemployed in 1910
and 1850 found jobs only as
soldiers in war plants when the
Nation went to war.
AS at Cleveland, the President
urged his Detroit listeners to be
sure to vote next Tuesday. He
said voting is lone of the most
important things any American
can do"
And, he asserted, 1--WE need
every vote" to assure election
of Republican majorities to the
House and Senate.
Declaring that great issues"
are to be decided Tuesday, the
President told his listeners at
Hopkins Municipal Airport in
Cleveland that America cannot
afford to have those issues de-
cided by minority vote" So,
he said, he is making his whirl-
wind tour today to urge upon
"all Americans everywhere the
Importance of voting"
Il am convinced" he said,
"that the program for which we
fought so earnestly in 1952-and
was approved by such a vast
majority of American citizens

Patronage Plan
Freezes Vacant
Jobs 30 Days
Setup Will Give
Republicans First
Crack at Posts
By Joseph Young

The White House has directed
Federal agencies to freeze civil
service and excepted job va
cancies for at least 80 days from
the time they occur so Repub-
licans can get first crack at the
jobs. The Star learned today.
The civil service positions in
volve those In Grade IA $9,600)
a year and above. and the So
called 1903" jobs, for which
agencies may recruit directly
without the applicant having to
take a regular exam. although
the candidate must meet mini
mum civil service standards for
the job.
The order was signed by
Charles Willis. assistant to Sher-
man Adams. the assistant to
President Eisenhower. 1t ex-
plains in detail how the agencies
must make weekly reports to the
Republican National Committee
on job vacancies that occur.
It was dated october Z. four
days before the White House
informed Republican members Of
Congress how the program
works and how It can be used for
political patronage.
What 1t Says.
The White House directive to
the agencies stated:
Each valid vacancy must be
frozen, i. e., placed under control
and preserved as a vacancy for
a period of at least thirty (30)
days from the date of dispatch
by the agency. Non-adher-
ence to this basic program rule
has resulted in embarrassment
to those persons who have gone
to considerable trouble to locate
and encourage qualified candi.
date to seek Government employ
ment only to find that the posi-
ton already had been filled.
Local sponsors of qualified
candidates have been requested
to speed up the handling Of
Forms PM-4 (the 1908" jobs)
and PMS excepted positions)
so as to avoid delay in the pro-
cess of selection by the agency"
The White House said the job
freeze can be waived If: "Posi-.
tions which must, in the opinion
of the employing officer, be filled
| Immediately in order to safe
guard life, health or property,
including related maintenance
and warehousing activities; to
avoid gross waste of public
funds: to avaid extremely serious
operationl problems, such as
cancellation of important Gov
ernment contracts"
Defines "Valid Vacancy"
The White House defined q
valid vacancy" for which the
job in question must be frozen
for 80 days. as "a job oppor-
tunity in which immediate re-
cruitment of an employe is ac-
tually desired by the agency"
The White House directive in
structed the agencies to indi-
cate on each form involving a
civil service or excepted job
vacancy, the congressional dis
trict in which the vacancy is
reported.
Indicate the number of Con-
gressional District like this:
Chicago, ILL.,, Sd c. D. along
side Job location" the White
House directive reads.
Some agency officials got a
wry chuckle from the White
House admonition to use palmer
language regarding the duties
Of the jobs involved so that the
Republican politicos and MEM
bers Of Congress can better un-
derstand what the job entails.

Truman Denies Using Words
Red Herring in Hiss Case

An unofficial transcript Of the
news conference shows that this
question was put to Mr.. Truman:
"Mr. President. do you think the
Capitol Hill spy hearings are a
good thing or do you think
they are a red herring to divert
attention from the anti-inflation
program?"
Mr.. Truman replied that he
agreed with the latter view.
Afterwards Mr.. Truman was
asked whether he might be
quoted directly.
Truman's Reply.
The unofficial transcript gives
this as Mr.. Truman's reply:
Eyes. you can quote me. /.
They are using this as a red
herring to keep from doing what
they ought to do"
Veteran Washington reporters
said the "red herring" question
was put to Mr.. Truman in l948
by Harold Stacy. a reporter for
the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
In Columbus. Mr.. Stacy said
". the question was entirely
spontaneous on my part. / re-
call that veteran reporters at the
White House had asked only
routine questions during the
first part of it. There had been
nothing at all on the investiga-
tions getting under way on Capt.
tol Hill.
Fearing the conference might
break, up with the usual Thank
you, Mr.. President without any
comment. I asked the question
which Mr.. Truman now disputes
as becoming, by his authorize
ton, his own statement regard
ing the Communists in Govern
ment issue. AS / recall the cir
cumstances. it was the last ques-
ton of the conference and the

Mr.. Pearson asked Mr.. Tru-
