Ike and Stevenson
May Square Off
Again in 1956
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON 0P>—'The results
of state and local elections have
strengthened a belief among poli
ticians that President Eisenhower
and Adlai Stevenson may square
off again in 1956.
Republican and Democratic na
tional chairmen claimed good
omens for their parties in con
flicting statements Thursday over
the outcome of balloting in Michi
gan, Chicago, St. Louis and small
er cities east and west.
But to many political strategists
the inconclusive results were such
as to indicate both parties will be
looking for their strongest candi
dates next year.
GOP Chairman Leonard W. Hall,
who says he assumes Eisenhower
will run again, said “no one in the
Republican Party should have any
delusions about the hard and
tough fight we face.”
Democratic Chairman Samuel
Butler, maintaining strict public
neutrality about his party’s choice
of a nominee, interpreted the elec
tion results as “a Democratic
‘trend that is running in many
parts of the United States this
year.”
Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala), who
has proclaimed Stevenson to be a
“shoo-in” for the Democratic
nomination in 1956, said in an in
terview he regards the election of
a Democratic mayor in Chicago
as strengthening Stevenson’s par
ty position.
Stevenson, former Illinois gov
ernor, endorsed and spoke for
Mayor-elect Richard J. Daley. *
Sparkman said Stevenson’s pos
ition as .a potential presidential
nominee would have been set
back seriously if Daley had lost.
It wasn’t many years ago that
we could live on what it now
costs us to exist.

Brownell’s opinion. The attorney
general stated that Alaska’s Or
ganic Act law prevented such
borrowing.
Governor Gets Blame
Several Democrats in the House
continued to blame Heintzleman
; for not securing a federal loan to
restock the Unemployment Fund.
During the preliminary debate
on the loan bill in the House, Ken
Johnson, chairman of the House
Wavs and Means Committee, de
clared that “barring any catas
trophe” the territorial treasury
will have a surplus of between
4 and 5 million dollars when the
next legislature convenes in 1957.
Johnson’s prediction came as a
result of remarks made by George
McNabb, who said it was “wrong
for the territorial legislature to
take from the General Fund”
when the treasury is already
faced with a possible deficit bi
ennium.
McNabb had criticized Heint
zleman for not securing a federal
i loan and he accused Brownell of
attempting to embarrass the Dem
ocratic majority by ruling Alaska
ineligible for a federal loan.
Johnson’s reply to McNabb
came as a mild surprise to many
legislators who had contended
that more revenue measures are
required in order to keep the ter
ritorial treasury from going broke.
In other action yesterday:
The House once more delayed
action on a Senate-passed bill that
would set up legislative districts
in the Third Division only.
The measure was put forward
until 9:30 this morning, and it
was given little chance for pass
age prior to the 10 a.m. “sine die”
adjournment. The masure was
opposed by several Third Divi
sion Democrats on the grounds it
j is loosely drawn and does not
take a “realistic” approach to the
current population and boundary
factors.
Ridgway Backed
On Prevention of
Ground Force Cuts
WASHINGTON, tf*—Sen. Cha
vez (D-NM) said Thursday he is
certain efforts will be made in the
Senate to add some money to
President Eisenhower’s defense
budget with the aim of preventing
cuts in Army and Marine strength.
“Some restorations will be of
fered,” said Chavez, chairman of
the appropriations subcommittee
considering the $35 billion mili
tary money bill. “I think that
Gen. Ridgway is right, and his
views will get full consideration.”
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, Ar
my chief of staff, told the sub
committee Wednesday he had
recommended that Army strength
be maintained at 1,300,000 men
during the bookkeeping year that
starts July 1.
That is 273,000 more than the
figure recommended by the Presi
dent. Army strength was 1,300,000
on Jan. 1; it is now down to
about 1,270,000.
Estimates were that it would
require more than a billion dol
lars additional for the Army to
maintain strength at the figure
Ridgway recommended. Its share
of the Eisenhower budget is about
seven billions.
In his prepared statement,.Gen.
Ridgway avoided any direct dis
pute with the administration’s
orders for cutbacks. But under
questioning he said: '“I strongly
recommend a substantially higher
figure.”
The reduced figure in the Pres
ident’s budget “was not approved
by the Joint Chief's of Staff,” said
Ridgway, but was determined by
“our President . . .” and other
“competent civilian officials” who
had to consider “many factors be
sides the military.”
Declaring the international sit
uation has “definitely deteriorat
ed since the cutbacks were decid
ed upon last December, Ridgway
said “the basic reasons behind
my original recommendation have
not altered.”

Fingerprints and
Photos Give Clues
In Bank Robbery
NEW YORK, UP1—A partial fin
gerprint and four or five rogues
gallery photographs gave police
yesterday possible clues to the
men who robbed a Queens bank
of a record of $305,243 in cash.
Fifty FBI men joined 50 city
city detectives working to crack
the case.
Police said bank employes,
cowed by a tommygun during the
holdup Wednesday, had identified
four or five photos as resembling
the robbers.
The police did not identify the
suspects.
Further, a fingerprint was
found on the speedometer of a
two-toned blue Cadillac the hold
up men abandoned after the rob
bery.
The man who left the print Ap
parently had used a file or emery
board to remove the whorls from
the center of his fingertip—a trick
of professional criminals—but the
rim of the print was clear.
In a move to halt the increasing
number of such robberies, a po
liceman henceforth will be as
signed to every bank building in
the city each day for about an
hour before until and an hour
after the opening hour.
Yesterday’s precision job, like
a number of others, was pulled
off after the bank employes began
arriving but before the bank
opened for business. '
The FBI reported 517 banks
were robbed in the United States
last year, compared with 248 in
1953.
