blast the hopes of Gov. Harri-

forced into several roll calls
from which he might emerge as
the nominee.

Suiting that guess to action,
Mr.. Butler revised the conven-
ton program to call for nomi-
mating speeches on Thursday of
next week, instead of Wednes-
day as originally planned.
Mr.. Butler said this chang ,
was made primarily to give more
time for full discussion" of the
platform. But he said he still
thinks the convention will wind
up by Friday night. leaving two
days before the opening of the

vote for Gov. Herter at the Re-
publican National Convention
Mr.. Stassen disclosed a few
further details about the finan-
cial backing for his effort to OBJ
tain the vice presidential nomi-
nation for Gov. Herter. He said
he could not estimate the total
of contributions thus far. but
reported he has received several
checks for as much as $500 and
$1,000 each. One days receipts
recently totaled more than
$l.700 in small amounts, he
added.
Expresses Confidence
J His warning about the weak
nesses' of Mr.. Nixon as candi-
date came as he outlined the
study and steps he made since
last February in assessing the
political situation. He would not
elaborate on specific minority
groups he believes would oppose
Mr.. Nixon. Nor would he say
why he believes labor in general
would oppose the Vice President.
He nevertheless made clear
again that he was confident Mr..
Eisenhower would be reelected.
He declined to discuss the rela-
tive qualifications of Mr.. Nixon,
Gov. Herter or others for the
vice presidency. or the presi-
dency. His sole purpose in
striving for the nomination of
Gov. Herter, he emphasized, was
to give Mr.. Eisenhower the
strongest possible running mate
in view of surveys indicating
that the presence of Mr.. Nixon
on the ticket would cause q 6
per cent drop in support.
Such a decrease in support,
Mr.. StasSen continued, might be
felt most strongly by Republican
candidates for Congress. He said
he had no quarrel with the 100
members of Congress who re-
Gently signed a statement sup

Names Ex-Governor
Gov. Herter. who has agreed
to put Mr., Nixon's name in
nomination, says he will not
consent to having his own name
put up but cannot stop any
delegate from doing so.
The most prominent name on
the list of hackers which Mr.
Stassen made public yesterday
was that of former Governor of
Massachusetts,, Robert Bradford
Mr.. Stassen quoted Mr.. Bradford
as saying he would help in any
way I can" to promote Gov. Her.
ter for the No. 2 spot on the
G. o. p. ticket.
He said he might make public
the names of other supporters
today.
Mr.. Stassen said he has not
been in touch with Republican
Gov. Goodwin Knight of Cali
fornia. But he said he was not
surprised that Gov. Knight had
pointedly declined to predict an
Eisenhower-Nixon ticket would
carry California.
Gov. Knights forces raised no
objection when the California
Republican Central Committee
adopted yesterday a resolution
indorsing Mr.. Nixon as Mr..

The resolution drew sustained
applause. Republican Senators

Herter, Stossen Says

Harold E. StaSsen warned to-

serious handicap to President

year
He declared at news confer

weaknesses.

considerably since Mr.. Essen

Mr.. Stassen also said he was
pleased to note that Republican

long as they could establish
Through their embassies here that
they were eligible.
( Besides the badges required
for admission to the press sec
tons, several hundred passes also
are being issued for entry to the
press rooms and for messengers.
The news services and most
papers are sending many more
reporters than could possibly be
seated at one time.
Much Of the>~coverage will be
carried on miles from the Inter-
national Amphitheater and the
Cow Palace. That accounts for
a frequent complaint, sometimes
by agglieved newspaper appli-
cants, that the convention hall
press sections seldom are filled
to capacity. Badges for those
assigned seats, however. are
transferable among employees of
the recipient newspaper or news
service.
Sections to Be Policed
They are supposed to be al
loted or transferred only to bona
fide members of the daily press
and news services.
Press sections and press rooms
will be policed by a staff con-
Sisting Of the superintendent
and assistant superintendent of
the Senate and House press gall
lerles. That staff also distributes
the credentials in Chicago and
San Francisco to persons who
within the last few weeks re-
ceived allotment notices from the
Standing Committee.
The Standing Committee was
spared the problem of finding
hotel rooms for the press and
regulating railroad and airline
transportation. But it encoun-
tered a Sardlne-can situation of
more that usual difficulty in try
ing to fit the working press into
the hotel press rooms.
For Chicago the pressure was
relatively bearable because OF
22.500 square feet of space in
the Conrad Hilton Hotel for a
press room as well as separate
press conference room two floors
above. One hitch developed when
the space was reserved for q
fishing goods snow until almost
the eve of the Democratic Con-
vention.
Problem at San Francisco
But that was a vast and COM
Portable expanse compared with
the little more than 10000 square
feet of available press room space
scattered in three parts of the
Fairmont Hotel and some 1900
square feet in the Mark Hopkins
Hotel across the street in San
Francisco.
Almost 80 newspapers which
requested partitioned space were
crowded in. Facilities were pro-
vided also for a general press
room.
This caused considerable
squeezing. AS for pressure. there
was plenty from many angles
and persons. 1t is TO the credit
of the Republican and Demo-
cratic National Committees that
no pressure was applied by those
organizations on the Standing
Committee in behalf of any ap-
plicant.
The committee optimistically
looked for cancellations to make
room for some OF the applicants
who could not be accommodated
Several have been coming in,
mainly from the San Francisco

Thomas JefferSon's classic COM
ment about seeking vacancies in
Government jobs, few recipients
OF convention badges ever cancel
and none do if they can help it.

Presents Many Headaches
There was nothing top-secret
about the method of assigning
convention hall press seats and
space for the working press in
the International Amphitheater
and Cow Palace and the down.
town hotels in Chicago and San
Francisco.
Nor is anything classified about
the headaches of similar COM
mittees concerned with the con-
veniences. efficiency and temp
ers OF 5000 TV-radio representa-
tives, scores of photographers,
and hundreds of writers for mag
azlnes and weekly papers.
Daily newspapers and the three

press rooms.
Battle Now Settled
Except for skirmiShes certain
to continue through the conven-
lions, the quadriennial Battle of
the Badges is settled. That cam
paign for credentials and work
ing quarters had all the stress
and strain of a search for tickets
Tor the all-Star baseball game.
While most applicants were
modest and realistic in their re-
quests, some showed no reluc-
lance in insisting on seats on the
alsles or at the ringside. A few
protested because competitors
might obtain several more square
feet OF space in a press room.
Still others a surprisingly
large number in a profession
dedicated to meeting headlines
failed to apply until long after
the May deadline which the
Standing Committee publicized
IN February. Applications still
trlckled in this week, long after
the ticket supply and the COM
mlttee were exhausted. Frus-
trated applicants occasionally

But, again. each contest had a
special significance locally.
The argument that a Pres
ident needs a majority Of his
own party in Congress appar-
emily just doesn't get across
where resentment or local
issues prevail.
So the country faces again
in the next two years in Con-
gress manifestations Of deep
seated partisanship. The DEM
ocrats, looking toward 1858
and 1860, will attempt, through
their control of investigating
committees and the handling
o. legislation, to attack admin
istration policies in an effort
to discredit politically almost
everything that is recon-
mended by President Eisen-
hover.
The only exceptions may be
in the field Of foreign affairs
or where there are millions to
be spent which will bene-
fit Democratic constituencies.
