The District Board of Elec-

determine who are properly quail
flied as candidates in the election

When the filing deadline came
Friday, the board was swamped
with petitions nominating can
didates for party jobs. The board
now must ascertain whether all
the papers are in order. Then
it will certify the list of names to
go the Democratic and Republi-
can ballots.
The Republican situation is
relatively simple. but not the

Governor STAYS
Tax Bill Action

Governor McKeldin of Mary
land yesterday assured propon-
entS of a bill aimed at repeating
the controversial State tax on
the salary income Of non-resi-
dents that he would be glad to
hear their views before acting on
the measure.
Although the State Controllers
Office has recommended that the
bill be vetoed, the Governor said
he has an open mind on the
question.
One Of the bills sponsors,
Delegate Blair Lee III, Democrat
of Montgomery. said earlier yes
terday that he had wired the
Governor requesting IAN oppor-
tunity to be heard before you
take final action"
McKeIdin Agrees to Talks
Gov. McKeldin told The Star
that he would be delighted" to
ISee Mr.. Lee and other propon-
Ients Of the measure. He ques-
toned. however. whether there
would be time for a full-dress
hearing, in view of the fact that
he has only until the end of this
week to act on bills passed by
the 1856 Legislature which met
in February.
Delegate Lee said he does not
feel a full-dress hearing will be
necessary. He said he will con-
tact the Governors office tomor-
row to arrange for a conference
to present his case urging the
Governor to sign the measure
Mr.. Lee and Delegate Perry o

bill at the request of civic fede-

would, as Of July /. repeal the
State income tax as it is now

ID. c. Residents Hardest Hit
Most Of the estimated $500 ,00O

taxes on the income Of nom
residents comes from District Of
Columbia residents with jobs in
Maryland.
| One Of Mr.. Lees chief argu-
ments for the measure has been
that, once President Eisenhower
signs the new District revenue
act Congress passed recently
Maryland will have to refund
virtually all income taxes it col
lects from District residents
working in Maryland. The Pres
ident signed the act yesterday
Maryland now taxes only that
portion Of the non-resident's in

Eisenhower suffered his heart

concerned about the issues in
the election. AS far as he is con-
cerned, the Democrats have
failed to produce any issues
which approach anything like
offsetting the Presidents wide
personal appeal.
What he is concerned about,
however. Is the present apa-
thetic state of Republicans
everywhere. What he wants to
do on the remainder of this cur
rent swing, and on the longer
one coming up is to put little
fire" into the Republican work.
ers and "instill in them the will
to win"
Mr.. Nixon has been doing his
part. On his current tour he
already has given more than so
talks and held almost half as
many news conferences. But
the word he will pass on to Mr..
Eisenhower is that this is not
enough.
Drive Misses Target
A Madison avenue inspired
campaign, however well-staged,
apparently isn't reaching the
grass roots on the ether waves
of television.
For that likely reason, Mr..
Nixon may insist when he gets
back to Washington on some
change in the television APP
proach. He may put them into
effect when he gives a nation
'ally-televised address next week
between his campaign tours.
What he knows, as he told a
Phoenix (Ariz.) audience this
week. is that television, radio,
billboard advertising and party
gimmicks. however good, won't
win elections. They must be won
at the precinct level.
Behind this thought is the
abiding concern over how to
translate into hard, countable
votes in. November President
Eisenhower's undeniably popular
appeal.

What the seventh does likely

In some spots the situation
was more than soft. 1t was just
plain muShy.
Trouble in Seven States
Those findings, broadly evalu'
ated. might be summed UP ii
this way:
l. Mr.. Eisenhower's immense
popularity remains by far the
decisive factor in the November
6 sweepstakes and he remains
the favorite in most of the State.
Mr.. Nixon has visited.
2. Republican congressional
candidates, especially senatorial
aSpirants. including some in.
cumbents, are in trouble in many
places. In at least seven States
senatorial candidates are in Sc
r1ouS difficulty.
What this adds up to for Re.
publican campaigners like Mr.
Nixon is something they likely
won't admit even to themselves
when they confront this question
in the privacy of their own
thoughts:
If the Republican congress
sional candidates are running SO
far behind in so many States,
for one reason or another, can
Mr.. Eisenhower be running SC
far ahead that upsurging DEM
ocrats may not overtake him in
the next five weeks of the CAM
paign?
Mr.. Nixon processes to think
not.
/ OF one thing he appears out
wardly certain: Mr.. Eisenhower's
appeal win insure that the Re-
publican White House occupant
needn't begin packing his bags
after November 6.
Mr.. Nixon also has some views
about the congressional races
which are. to some extent, sur
prising. He believes the House
will "go with Eisenhower" as
the expression goes which appar-
emily means this: If Mr.. Eisen-
hover runs far enough ahead Of
Adlai Stevenson, enough Repub-
licans can scramble on his fiaring
coattails to give the party con-
troll of at least one branch OF
Congress.
The reasons Mr.. Nixon gives
for his views on the House out
come are surprising too. What
ever strength the Republicans
have lost in MidweStern States
because Of farm urest, so the
thinking runs. will be more than
offset by party gains in the big
city labor areas.
In other words, the reasoning
is that the Republicans will get
q bigger labor vote this year,
despite the Endorsement by labor
leaders Of Mr.. Stevenson, than
they did four years ago when
the Eisenhower bandwa gon
rolled across the country.
AS for the Senate outcome.
that is acknowledged by Mr..
Stevenson to be "a horse race. Z"
If anything. that could be an
understatement.
The situation confronting the
Republicans as they toll to re-
elect Mr.. Eisenhower and give
him a Republican Congress is a
cracked glass of political COM
plexitieS.
Perhaps it is mirrored as well
as anywhere else In the rolling
Ozark hills in Southwestern Mis-
souri, where the seventh con-
