Eisenhower Opens
Campaign With
Banquet Speech
WASHINGTON, ItfV—President '
Eisenhower has pledged no “sur
renders to pressure, bribes fox
support, escapes from responsi
bility” in his campaign for re
election.
Eisenhower urged Republicans
last night to make a special drive
to enlist young people in a cam
paign he said must be “concerned
with those things which count for
most—people and principles.”
Eisenhower was cheered lustily
.by 900 GOP leaders as he ad
dressed a colorful banquet that
wound up a two-day pre-cam
paign strategy meeting.
His speech, in effect, was the
opening of his own re-election
effort.
“Our aim must be to convince
every American newly arrived at
voting age that the Republican
•party ... is the party through
which these young citizens’ aspir
ations for their country can be
achieved,” Eisenhower said.
In sounding a call for what he
termed an “organized crusade" on
behalf of people and principles,
the President invited aboard Re
publicans, independents and those
•he described as “sound thinking
Democrats.” He said "We welcome
them all.”
Although this was a party gath
ering, Eisenhower had no harsh
things to say about the Democrats.
In fact, he told the assembled
GOP leaders that Democrats, like
Republicans, are loyal to the Unit
ed States, devoted to freedom and
human dignity, and insistent on
national security and the welfare
of the people. He said Republicans
and Democrats differ on methods,
not objectives.

Sen. Kefauver Suffers Severe Defeat
In New Jersey Primary Election
NEWARK, N.J., UPl—Sen. Estes
Kefauver fell even further behind
today in both sections of the New
Jersey primary election, scene of
his most severe defeat since he.
began campaigriing for the Demo- |
cratic presidential nomination.
He won only vote of the 36 |
the state’s Democrats will cast at
the nominating convention.
An uncommitted, organization
slate, headed by Gov. Robert B.
Mayner, scooped up the other
35V£. Kefauver had predicted he
would elect 20 delegates with 10
convention votes.
New Jersey Republicans gave
President Eisenhower a “popular
ity” vote that exceeded 300,000
and was bigger, percentagewise,
than the total he received in this
state’s primary in 1952. Eisenhow
er outpolled Kefauver in 20 of the
state’s 21 counties.
With returns reported from
3,838 of the state’s 4,155 voting
districts, the preferential sections
of the ballot showed:
Eisenhower, 304.091.
Kefauver, 106,751.
A total of 2,193 write-in votes
for Adlai Stevenson also had been
recorded, but this figure was not
complete.
The organization delegation that
defeated Kefauver is described as
unpledged, although some of its
members are considered favorable
to Stevenson.
Kefauver’s campaign manager
asserted the election was “by no
means a defeat.” He said Kefau
ver had won “a good vote” but
that the senator had been unable
to overcome “highly organized
Democratic machines in 21 coun
ties.”

Traffic Control Device
With Built-In Memory
Will Guide Plane Landings
CINCINNATI, OP*—AVCO Man
ufacturing Corp. is showing off a
traffic control machine with a
'built-in memory that can handle
120 planes an hour landing at an
airport.
The device, called a “Volscan
Air Traffic Control Computer,”
was developed by enigneers at the
Air Force Research Center in
Cambridge, Mass. AVCO built the
production model here.
The system, which links radar
and computers, is designed to con
vert the confusion of aircraft ap
proaching an airport at different
times and speeds into an orderly,
safe procession, an AVCO spokes
man said yesterday.
The machine’s “memory” stores
up the answers to possible ap
proach problems. When an air
craft enters the radar scope of an
airport <40-60 miles radius*, the
computer assigns it a safe heading,
altitude and speed.
