Alfalfa Party
Jumps the Gun
Nominutes for ST
On inaugural Eve

While the Capital quivered last
night in anticipation Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's second inau-
gural. the Alfalfa Club jumped
the gun and unanimously noini-
mated its own man, former Sec
rotary Of the Navy John L. Sui
Ivan. for President of the
United States in 1857.
A New Hampshire lawyer and
Democrat before he became the
Alfalfa Party's candidate, Mr.
Sullivan was in nomination by
former Speaker Joseph w. Mar
tin, jr.. Republican leader OF
the House Of Representatives.
Accepts Challenge
Mr.. Sullivan accepted the
challenge Immediately and, in a
manner reminiscent of an
earlier, tougher John L. Sullivan,
began sparring in all directions
while hewing strictly to Alfalfa
1857 line of no platform, lower
taxes. opposition to sin.
The traditional, mock pres
|idential nomination was the
high point of the dining clubs
44th annual banquet, held at
Hotel Statler.
Most of Alfalfa's $50 members
and their $50 guests-including
prominent men in public and
private life were on hand.
No Interference Seen
None of those present showed
any concern that Alfalfa's candi-
date might interfere with the Ell
senhower Inauguration. Since
both the Chief Justice, who will
administer the oath of Office to
President Eisenhower. and the
President. himself, are veteran
members of Alfalfa, they could
reassure themselves by recalling
that in the clubs long history
not one of its candidates has
received so much as a single cleo
toral vote.
Earlier in the evening Alfalfa
installed its own president for
1857, Nelson T. Harrison. senior

trates" why the free world must
not leave a military or economic
vacuum in the area.
Combination Stressed
He stressed the Importance of
a combined program and made
it clear the administration is
against separating them.
The Vice President said the
economic phase of the program
is equally as important as the
military support because lit will
reduce the chance of successful
internal Subversion. which is per-

economic program seeks to re-
duce tensions between countries
in that area, which, if allowed
to continue. might open the door
to infiltration.
Mr.. zablocki said he will still
make a serious effort in behalf
of his substitutes, but he con-
coded that if he fails the House
will have no alternative but to
support the Eisenhower resolu-
ton.

Mr.. Brewster, subpoenaed as

made since the place was built
about 10 years ago.
Mr.. Kennedy added that Mr.
Beck sold the mansion to the
union in 1855 for about 1852 .00O

informed.
The contractor. Mr.. Lindsay
who Mr.. Kennedy said talked
freely to him by telephone in

Mr.. Hammarskjold quickly ar
ranged with Nh. Eban for a con-
ference tomorrow afternoon on
the situation. Israeli sources
said the talks would hinge
around these three points, all
listed by Mr.. Eban in his speech
to the assembly:
/. A discussion of the Security
Council resolution of 1851 calling
on Egypt to keep the Suez Canal
open to all countries. Egypt re-
fused to obey the resolution on
the grounds she is at war with
Israel but Israel demanded to-
day that Egypt must comply
with resolutions if Egypt ex-

U. N. decisions.

man to become President Of the
United States. quietly repeats the
oath of Office today for second
four-year term as Chief Execu-
tive.
Immediately before Chief
Justice Warren swears President
Eisenhower In at the White
House, Richard Milhous Nixon
will take his oath again as Vice
President, from Senator william
F. Knowland of California.
The solemnity of this ritual in
the privacy of close relatives will
offer striking contrast to the
pomp and gaiety in which Wash
ington finds itself immersed for
this 43d Inaugural in our history.
Already, Capital residents and
visitors from all the States and
Territories of the Union are well
embarked upon a celebration
which will be climaxed at noon
tomorrow. At that time Mr..
Eisenhower and Mr.. Nixon will go
through elaborate taking
ceremonies in front of the
Capitol. for benefit of the public.
Increasing Cloudiness

forecast that today will be fair,
though there will be increasing
cloudiness. 1t predicted the
temperature will reach a maxi
mum Of As degrees. The bureau
also said the reading tonight
should not go below "a degrees.
This was heartening news for
all concerned because Washing
ton. like the rest of the East,
last week was gripped by the
bitterest weather in years.
For tomorrow, the Weather
Bureau predicted considerable
cloudiness and mild tempera-
lures but said there is a chance"
of occasional rain.
Bright sunshine yesterday
pushed the temperature up to
38 degrees and this helped melt

The parade, which will pass
from the Capitol to the White
House. starting at 1870 pm.
tomorrow, will be one of the most
colorful in history. But it will
be much shorter than the pro-
cession of 1853.
State Units Limited

Der of units from each State in
an effort to comply with Presi-

the time be held to approx
