Tor the Democratic TICKET OF
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee
against Mr.. Eisenhower and Vice
President Nixon.
Nixon Cites Record
In Washington, James C. Hag-
erty. President Eisenhower
press secretary, had this COM
ment today on the councils ac-
ton.
II would prefer to wait for the
vote of the working men anc
women of this country on elec-
ton day and not on the vote Of
an executive council"
Vice President Nixon issued a
statement saying the Admins
trstion is proud of its labor rec
ord. He said number of labor
leaders have declared that the
American worker never had il
SO good.
The labor councils decision
was reached late yesterday
with some misgivings. Some
council members felt their
15-million-member labor organi-
zation would be sticking its neck
out and cutting itself off from
any chance for favors from the
Republican Party.
Split II to 5
But the council, reportedly
against the advice of AFL-CIO
President George Meany, voted
1913 to make an Endorsement
and then cast that Endorsement
by a IT'S count to the Demo-
Gratis
The decision was steered by a
Evening star., 1956-08-29

Democratic presidential ticket of
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.
I'VE recognize the right of
leaders of the AFL-CIO to take
"a personal stand on candidates
and issues in the coming elec-
Ition." Mr.. Nixon said. "We can
all be glad that we live in a
democracy where the heads of
any organization can freely ex-
press their views on political
Questions.
"At the same time he said,
II am sure that by this action
the leaders of organized labor do
not intend to try to bind their
members or dictate to them how
they should think and vote.
Proud of Record
"On that basis, this admins
tration is proud to stand on its
record. 1t has been indeed graft
flying to note that a number of
labor leaders have declared, both
in public and in private, that
the American worker has never
had it so good. Wages have
never been higher, nor have jobs
been more plentiful. There have
been fewer hours lost in strikes
than in any comparable period
of history.
1--WE are confident that when
American workers look at this
record they will vote to continue
in Office the administration that
has done more for their inter-
ests than any administration in
history. They will not want tc
go back to the strike-ridden days
of the 1940s or to the rubber
dollar that wiped away increases
as fast as they got them.
I'm making this statement !
want to point out that I per-
sonally know many of the lead
ers Of organized labor. My
political differences with them
will not alter the respect I have
often expressed in the past for
their notable achievements in
fighting communism here and
abroad and in presenting a
sound picture of our democracy
to millions of fellow workers
throughout the world"
Takes Long Week End
Mr.. Nixon'S Office issued the
statement before telling news
men he had left by auto with
his family for a long Labor DAY
week end stay in New Jersey
While there, he planned to rest
and write some of the speeches
he will make during ian extern
sive and vigorous" campaign
tour next month.
Aides said they believe Mr.
Nixon had received word that
his ailing 77-year-old father
Frank A. Nixon. had taken 9
turn for the worse but they die
not know whether he planned
to return to California.
Mr.. Nixon returned here from
his fathers bedside Monday
when the elder Mr.. Nixor
seemed to be improved after
being near death for a time.

Rumor has it that the city hall
in Rockville is becoming the prov.
ing ground for bright young
men" on their way up in the
county and state.
Certainly the record of the last
two city clerks seems to bear this
out. Joseph Blocher, after serv
ing IN the office for a year and a
half, stepped out in March to take
over the job of assistant county
attorney.
Milton B. Million, who replaced
him on April l, has in a months
time already proved his genius"
at organization. His first assign
ment to improve the water billing
system has been carried out so
successfully that r m ing o n
Rand, consultantS on a prelimi-
nary study, threw out their own
suggestions and adopted Mr.. Mil,
Ions system to recommend to
other communities.
Credit, of course, must be given
Mr.. Blocher for the background
organization including the present
method of dividing the city into
quarters for the semi-annual bill.

Time, Money Saved
Mr.. Millions innovations have
resulted in an amazing saving of
time. The money saved is, of
course, more difficult to estimate
but the city manager informs us
that the additional clerk neces.
Sary this year under the old sys-
tenn will not be needed.
Routine water inquiry calls
that used to take seven minutes
to answer now take 30 seconds.
Billing for each quarter section of
the city which used to take two
and a half weeks now takes five
days at the most.
In a city that has increased its
water accounts from 1900 in 1852
to over 5000 today, the impor-
lance of this time-saving system
can be seen even by the layman.
Every new house or business in
Rockville means a water connec.
ton, and every connection means
a bookkeeping account, a water
meter, a meter reading twice a
year, a semi-annual bill and an
accurate record of all payments.
Correlation Needed
Every new John Jones and fam
lily moving into Rockville means
new page in the meter read
er's book, a new account card, a
new addressograph plate for his
bill-all of which must be CORE

a common ground of wanting to
