Two of President EisenhoWer's
most ardent supporters in the
Senate said today they are con-
vinced he will be a candidate
for a second term but will delay
any announcement until next
year.
Senator Duff, Republican of
Pennsylvania, one of the first
Eisenhower-for- President boost
ers in 1852, said in an interview:
THE President is held in such
extraordinary public esteem that
it will be almost impossible for
him to refuse the nomination.

Senator Aiken. Republican of
Vermont, agreeing with Senator
Duff in separate interview,
said apparently some top Demo-
cratic party officials also are con-
vinced that Ike will run again.
That is why they have some
of their hatchet men busy snip
ing at the President" Senator
Aiken said. These snipers are
the ones that the Democrats
would miss the least if they are
defeated"

Butler Brands
Veto Of Pay Bill.
Cheap Politics

Chairman Paul M. Butler of
the Democratic National Com
mittee last night attacked Pres
ident Eisenhower veto of the
postal pay raise bill as "the
cheapest kind of partisan poll
tics"
Mr.. Butler. speaking at the
second annual dinner of the
Tenth Virginia District Young
Democrats in Falls Church,
called the Presidents action
further evidence of a total lack
of concern of the Eisenhower
administration for the career
employees of the Federal Gov
ernment."
Mr.. Butler noted that OBJ
servers predict that all but two
of the 49 Democrats in the
Senate will vote to override the
Presidents veto and said that
means all except for the two
great Senators from Virginia. ="
The crowd of more than $50
in the George Mason High
School auditorium raised brief
cheer at this. but Mr.. Butler
continued:
Il do not criticize Senator
Byrd and Senator Robertson for
following the course they think
best" but addec Il ain hopeful
that enough Republicans will
stand with the Democrats to
give this group OF workers a
long-overdue pay increase"
Mr.. Butler said he hoped the
veto of the 8.8 per cent pay raise
will be overriden by Congress
promptly and emphatlcaIly.' He
said the bill should have been
approved by President Eisen-
hover with the request that any
technical defects he fould in the
bill be given further study.
He charged the administration
with making a shambles" Of the
entire Civil Service system "by
playing the most shameful poll
tics" with career employees.
Noting that about half of the
residents of the Tenth District
are Federal employees, Mr.. Butler
predicted that "the destruction
of the Civil Service system may
become one of the most impor-
tant issues of the 1856 cam
pafgn."

Italian Reds May Lose
AiIing TogIiotti as Boss

ROME. May 81 up. - Ailing
Palmiro Togliatti may be unable
to resume leadership of the
Italian Communist Party which
he developed into the biggest
outside the Iron Curtain.
Only intimates know how sick
Mr.. Togliatti really is from the
"sun stroke" which felled aim
while he was making a May Day
speech in Trieste. But well-ir-
formed Western diplomatic
sources believe the 62-year -old
Communist suffered a severe
stroke and that chances of his
fully recovering are small.
Arm Reported Paralyzed
One rumor persists that his
arm is paralyzed.
Mr.. Togliatti has not left his
closely guarded home since he
was brought there by ambulance
nine days ago.
Mr.. Togliatti was making his
May Day speech when he sud=
denly paled rnd gasped for

His longtime female compan-

Consumers Get q Break
As Auto, Rent Costs Dip

Consumer prices for both auto
mobiles and rents declined in
April and were chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for an overall slight reduc-
ton in the Nations living costs
for that month.
This was reported yesterday
by the Labor Departments Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics. The
department said the price de-
clines in automobiles and rents
were attributed to record pro-
duction in the automobile and
housing industries.
The declines were modest but
had significance in view of the
output in those industries.
10 Cents a Month Less
The rent decline was only lJ1o
OF l per cent On a $100 a
month rental that would be only
10 cents month. But it was
the first time that rents over the
country have averaged lower
since the Government rolled
them back in wartime 1912
The earliest previous reduction
in a free rent market, without
controls, was in 1882.
Mrs. Aryness Joy Wickens
acting commissioner of Labor
Statistics, said no break was
evident in the housing market
She said rents have declined in
some spots over the Nation for
a year, being overbalanced by
increases in other spots. This
was the first month that declines
outweighed the increases.
Better Housing Supply
"It's just that we have a better
housing supply" she said.
This is similar to what's hap
pened in auto prices. Dealers
have ben giving more and more
concessions off list prices so that
costs of both new and used cars
dropped by more than 4 per cent
between March and April.
Here again Mrs. Wickens said
there was no market break, A
4 per cent cut on a $4,000 car
would be $50.
Food prices rose nearly y of l
per cent in April. This was
largely due to late March
freeze in Southern States. It
helped send potato prices up by
an average of 80 per cent, 60
per cent over last year. Prices
for most fruits and vegetables
increased for the same reason.
Meats we're about the same. but

by sunstroke."
Several Brushes With Death
The veteran Communist leader
has had several brushes with
death that would have perma-
nently impaired any mans
health.
In 1948 a Sicilian student
pumped four bullets into him.
Two years later his spine was
injured in an automobile acci-
dent.
Several months later blood
clot at the base OF. his brain
almost took his life.
Long0 Seen as Successor
Chances are Mr.. Togliatti will
retain his title as secretary of
the Italian Communist Party
for an indefinite period. But
actual direction may pass to
one of several Communist lead
ers.
Most likely is Luigi Longo,
tough 55-year-old former in
spector general of the Interna-
tional Brigade in Spain and a
wartime partisan leader who
was decorated with a United
States Bronze Star.
Giuseppe di Vittorio, 81, pres
ident of the World Federation
of Trade Unions and boss OF
Italy's Red labor unions. is an
other possibility.

NEW YORK. May 81 (P.-
Civil Defense Administrator Val
Peterson told the Nations May
ors today they should work de-
fense planning into all phases
of their city governments.
"If you build civil defense right
into every clement" he said IN
an address for the United States
Conference of Mayors. "you then
have millions of trained people
in your organization immedi-
ately."
Civil defense cannot be left
stranded in a separate and in
adequate office" he said.
your fire and police depart
ments can relate their day-to-
day activities to anticipated civil
defense requirements. Your street
department must do its daily
task with an eye to civil de-
fense needs. Your entire school
system can become your most
potent means of civil defense
education"
Easy to Pass Buck
The fact that civil defense
responsibilities are divid d
among the Federal. State and
local governments sets up an
ideal buck-passing situation"
Mr.. Peterson said.
But passing the buck is of no
consequence except maybe dur
ing campaign time. 1t doesn't
solve anything as far as the Sc
curity of the United States or
your city is concerned"
| Senator Knowland, Repub-
lican, of California told the con-
ference yesterday that recent
peace and disarmament moves
by the Russians are intended to
wreck" collective security.
/ The Senate minority leader
said the Communists hoped TO
lull the free world into:
| Dismantling of American over
seas bases.
Giving control of Formosa and
other China coast islands to the
Chinese Reds.
Russian Advantage
Withdrawing American troops
5000 miles from Berlin to tie
United States while Russian
forces would withdraw but 600
miles.
Senator knowland said Rus
sian proposals to ban the atom
bomb would work to the Com
munist advantage. He expressed
belief that, without the atom
bomb as a balancing factor"
Communist forces already would
have overrun all Europe and
Asia. Senator Knowland added:
THE $64 question is; Has the
Communist leopard changed its
spots; has the carnivorous ag-
gressor become a milk-fed pussy
cat? I think not"
The Senator said part of Rus
sias grand design" is to keep
Germany out of the Western de-
fense group. Accomplishment of
this would be major Com
munist victory, Senator Know
land said, but he voiced doubt
the move would succeed.
