BY GARNET d. HORNER

President Eisenhower today
pledged his full support to a
drive by Republican women to
get qualified voters registered by
their State headlines.
Miss Bertha Adkins, in charge
Of women's activities for the
Republican National Committee,
reported to the President on her
Organizations plans for a regis
tration drive during September.
She told him that 5000 Re-
publican women are working on
the drive to make more people
eligible to vote in November.
"We know that a big vote means
a Republican victory" Miss Ad-
kins said. Mr.. Eisenhower told
her that he was "all for" the
drive and will support that all
the way through"
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty told newsmen
Mr.. Eisenhower considers that
getting qualified voters registered
is the fundamental political job
to be done at this time"
Meets With NSC
The Presidents conference
with Miss Adkins and a meeting
with his National Security Coun-
Gil today pointed up his dual role
as Chief Executive and as a
candidate for a second term.
There were no announcements
from the NSC meeting.
Mr.. Eisenhower, meanwhile,
scheduled a news conference for
1890 am. Friday. Questions
there can be expected to range
over a broad field of both Gov
ernment business and politics.
There also will be q mixture

White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said Mr..
Eisenhower would speak during
the ceremony and gave permis-
sion for his talk to be telecast
and broadcast. This speech can
be expected to be at least an
indirect appeal for labor support
in his reelection campaign.
Mr.. Hagerty indicated today
that some major campaign ac-
tivity may be contemplated in
connection with the Presidents
birthday on October IA when
he will be 66 years old.

About 450 students were inte-

Montgomery Transfers
Montgomery initiates some

Montgomery also is the only
county in the State to transfer
