However, he turned out better
than I thought he would and I
would vote for him this time if

II don't think he should i'm
pose his poor health IN the

Another Democrat. Mrs. David

agreed: Il feel he shouldn't

However. George Lynch, 81,

Mr.. and Mrs. r. j. Kruger OF

Hopes for Stevenson
'Mr. Eisenhower is a good

Mrs. Kruger, %, was more
pointed: Il want Ike to win,
she said.
j. T. Jones, 81, of Soldiers
Home. said Il like Ike"
Il think he will win, too, and
he will be just as good or better
a President than before"
Harry Subin of Philadelphia
an Oberlin College student and a
DINO crat, had a different
thought.
i feel we are in for another
four years of no foreign policy"
he said. Also another four years
of Sherman Adams as President.
Il don't think he had any
choice. The pressure on him by
the Republican Party was ex-
tremely great. If I were a Re-

runs with Nixon, We are in for

Exchange transactions was run
Bache & Co., brokers in the
Washington Hotel.
A big crowd gathered there
heard a prediction that the ris-
ing prices would result in a 10
million-share day.
President Eisenhower decision
had no direct effect on purely
local stocks. officials of the
Washington Stock Exchange said.
Shortly before noon issues like
Potomac Electric g. Power Co.
remained at about the same
level as yesterday. Local stocks
are primarily investment types
and do not react as do others
on the market.
The main effect on the stock
exchange at Fifteenth and H
streets NV, was to keep down
the attendance. Brokers were
confined to their Offices by the
heavy trading in national stocks.
Crowds Gather
Along West Executive avenue
crowds gathered to glimpse the
President as he crossed the
street returning to the White
House from the press conference.
Not all the citizens thought
the President had made a wise
decision, and some qualified their
approval. but many seemed to
feel like Mrs. r. C. Stanfield, Re-
publican. of Indianapolis:
Il am real happy he has de-
cided to run. He has done such
q marvellous job to date. I have
every bit of faith in him.
Kay Winterowd, 20, student at
William Jewel College. Kansas
City, Mo. said: Like all young
Americans I am glad to hear he

News From II. S.
Senator Frear

United States Senator j. Allen
Frear said this week that the role
of the Federal employee in the
operation of the National Govern
ment is a important consider
alton for the Congress as are all
of the various domestic and foreign
programs for which Federal ap-
preparations are annually made.
In his weekly statement Mr..
Frear said that current civilian
employment during the month of
April totals almost 21a-million peo--
pie; the exact figure according to
the Joint Committee on Reduction
of Non-Essential Federal Expen-
ditures is 2-million, 359-thousand,
6-hundred and eleven (2,359, Gill.
This total is an increase of about
7-thousand persons over the pre-
ceding month.
Mr.. Frear said that this large
number of individuals affords a
quick impression of the size and
magnitude of our National Govern
ment and that it indicates the cost
in salaries to the Government of
those who actually implement the
various programs being carried out
under Federal supervision.
