Page6 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, September-17, 1952 The Florida Editors Predicting Split In November Election By MALCOLM B. JOHNSON TALLAHASSEE (®% — The con- sensus of Florida news editors is that the state’s vote would be split about 50-50° between Dwight D. Ei- senhower and Adlai Stevenson if the presidential election were held 10w. ‘ But many of them representing sounties with substantial votes said hey expect the balance to swing »ward Stevenson when the enthu- sm from Eisenhower’s recent if wears off, the Democratic rmipaign opens up,and the in- tendency to vote Demo- cratic starts working. Forty-eight newspaper and radio stations with 88 per cent of the state’s registered voters participat- td in he Associated Press survey vf the political outlook. Their county-by-county percent- ige estimates were translated into rotes and totaled. The consensus was that as things stand right now, Eisenhower would get 52 per cent of the vote, Stevenson 48. However, the missing counties with 12 per cent of the voters are reponderantly in areas where the adition of voting Democratic is ytrongest. They probably would jeutralize Eisenhower’s advantage bh the others. Most of the editors were frank im declaring their opinions came mostly from casual conversations along Main Street, in civic club luncheons and other circles where Eisenhower is strongest. They said they knew less about what the farmers, fishermen and laborers are thinking. Seven of the editors who partici- pated represent papers which have editorially endorsed Eisenhower, are from papers which are sup- porting or leaning toward Steven- son. The rest are neutral so far. The ultimate decision could rest with 90,000 States Rights Demo- erats who four years ago didn't like Truman and the Democratic platform, but couldn’t bear to break away from grandpa’s party and vote Republican. They cast their ballots then for Gov. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina and thereby kept Truman from getting a majority in the state (although he won the Flor- ida electoral vote by winning a plurality. But it is strictly between Eisen- hower and Stevenson this time— Democrat or Republican. They’re the only ones on the ballot. Will the States Righters break away fom the Democratic Party entire- ly this time and vote for Eisen- hower? Or will they find Steven- son more acceptable than Truman was? And there are about 275,000 more voters this year than Florida had in 1948. Nobody quite knows wheth- er they are newcomers from Re- publican areas of the North, un- jon laborers from Democratic farms and small towns of neigh- boring Southern states, young na- tives just out of military service and colleges, or Negroes voting for the first time. They probably make up a general mixture of po- li‘ >al backgrounds and leanings, Most of thera are registered Democrats—but Republican pres- idential candidates always far out- poll their party membership in Florida, Thomas E. Dewey’s total vote in 1948, for instance, was more than three times as big as the total number of registered Re- publicans. Many voters register as Demo- erats simply because the real elec- tion for state and local offices is in the Democratic primaries. The Republicans generally offer token tandidates or none at all for such Posts. Much of Eisenhower's strength in the survey of Florida editors came from Dade County, which has almost a fifth of the state’s voters in Miami and its suburban ana. consolidation of the Miami ‘ ee that i s record in recent years has been distinctly pro-New Deal.

These days the opposition on opening day is entirely different. For example Vandy meets Geor- gia Saturday in Nashville. Why has the custom on opening day changed? Money is the prin- cipal answer. Where 20,000 or 25, 000 will pay $3.60 to sit and watch Georgia,only 5,000 to 7,500 would bother watching Vandy kick little Bethel out of the park. For two of the few remaining days before his team takes on slightly favored Georgia, Coach Bill Edwards of Vandy ordered a slowing down in practice. During a two hour drill Tuesday Edwards noted the Commodores had “sud denly lost much of our team speed. I’m hoping the boys will bounce back wth lighter practice.” Bad news reached Georgia with word that Charley Madison had sprained an ankle. He joined the other ranking right half, Lauren Hargrove, on the injury list. They may see limited duty against Vandy. Two other teams facing rough opposition Saturday—Kentucky and games. Kentucky sharpened up for Vilanova, opponent in the night opener in Lexington, and LSU for Texas, a night opponent in Baton Rouge. Georgia Tech meets the Citadel Saturday in Atlanta in the weak est opener for the toprated En- gineers since 1941 when Chatta nooga was the foe. Neither Florida nor Alaska should be pushed too hard by Stet son and Mississippi Southern. Flor ida prepared for the Hatters from DeLand by polshing the payoff punch—working on learning what to do when the goal line is near. Buford Long, Papa Hall and Mike Karaphillis punched into the line trying ti pick up gains the hard way. umn, most of the undecideds will ‘go Democratic’ and Volusia Coun- ty will vote for Stevenson. Horgan Welch of the DeLand Sun-News, on the other side of the county, said it was a tossup right now. On the combined basis of Welch’s estimate and Davidson's poll, the county was listed 51-49 for Eisenhower as of now. (Four years ago, it cast 9,200 votes for Truman, 7,700 for Dewey and 2,400 for Thurmond.) Editors gave Eisenhower 60 per cent of the vote in Broward, Or- ange, Pinellas, Putnam and Sara- sota Counties; 57.5 per cent in Dade, 55 per cent in Duval, Man- atee,Palm Beach and St. Johns; 53 per cent in St. Lucie, 51 in Polk and Volusia. All of them but Dade and Polk failed to give Tru- man a ma,ority four years ago. | Stevenson was rated at 90 per cent of the vote in Taylor County, 80 per cent in Washington, 75 in Jackson (all three in rural West Florida), 70 in Bradford and Mon- roe, 62 in Leon, 60 in Bay, Citrus, Madison and Marion, 55 in Semi- nole and Suwannee and 52 in Sum- | ter. The candidates were declared running eve 5 lo 3, Trumzn got slightly less than 49 per cent of the votes cast in Florida. Dewey got about 34 per cent, Thurmond 15 per cent and Henry Wallace 2 per cent. Truman led in 54 of the 67 coun- ties, Dewey in 10 and Thurmond in three. Truman got a majority in 40 counties, Dewey in two (he missed it by two votes in a third), and Thurmond in one. Editors who look for Eisenhower to lead or run strong in their coun- ties gave these typical reasons: “Discontent with the Democrat- ie piatform.” ‘Ike's personal pop- ularity and the belief Stevenson is tied to Truman.” “Widespread discust with Truman.” “People : with ths Washington ™ yo . q Says ae Key West and Vicinity: Partly cloudy today through Thursday; not quite so warm Thursday.

(Continued Fro~ ° while reporting for the car check- ing process. By 9:15 this morning, 34 cars had already been inspected. Driv- ers are to report with the pre- liminary information already fill- ed out. This means printing on the cards the car’s seal number, the license number, the name and address of the driver, date, city, year and type of car. The card is then presented to the first policeman at entry to the fire station grounds. He | checks the horn, wind shield wipers, and tail lights mainly. The driver then proceeds to the brake test which registers on an automatie pressure gauge. The driver approaches the spe- cial treads placed at the side of the fire station with orders to come up fast and stop when the officer in charge orders “Hold it.” Some drivers have to make two or three approaches before they stop at the right spot at the right speed. Proper speed for the head-on approach is presumably at 30 to 35 miles an hour or average driving speed. The Flor- ida driver’s handbook states that the minimum standard on foot brakes is strength to stop the car in 30 feet from a speed of 20 miles an hour. As the front wheels stop on the front tread besides the gauge, and the back wheels stop rolling on the back treads of the mech- anism, the pressure gauge indi- cates the brake efficiency. Ac- cording to the Weaver Table, small allowance is made for the stripped weight of the car to ad- just for gas, oil, water and the driver’s weight, For example, a Cadillac V-8, model 60, weighing 4,500 pounds, has an average pressure register of 2,050 pounds. Most frequent number of pop- ular makes, say the police, are Fords and Chevrolets. A stand- ard Chevrolet will re~i-ter 1,550 and a Ford V-8, 1,599 pounds Pressure.

Sherman Adams of New Hamp- shire, his top adviser, and Arthur Summerfield, GOP national chair- man, in a party of 44 staff mem- bers and newsmen. William Green, AFL president, has said the AFL Convention will endorse a presidential candidate at its meeting here after hearing Ei- senhower today and Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, his Demo- cratic rival, next Monday. Green said he 752 convention delegates would decide largely on the views of the candidates and their party platforms on the Taf- Harley Act. He implied that he expected the convention to endorse Stevenson. The rival CIO already has en- However, Eisenhower has assur- ance of some AFL support. Richard J. Gray of Albany, long- time Democrat and president of the three-million-member AFL Building Trades and Construction Department, said Aug. 27 he was backing Eisenhower. He said he knew of eight or 10 other AFL leaders who also would support the Republican. William L. Hutcheson of India- napolis, a power in the AFL Car- penters Brotherhood, said in June he would vote for Eisenhower. President Truman yesterday told the AFL in a message that Eisen- hower was backing an “anti-labor” platform.” The President referred to Repub- lican support for the Taft-Hartley Act, which Congress passed over) Truman’s veto. A co-author was | Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who | last Friday said he would cam- paign actively for Eisenhower. Without mentioning Eisenhower by name, Truman said: “It appears that the Republican candidate has now made his peace withthe author of the new Taft- Hartley Law. “Apparently his conduct will not be out of line with the Republican platform which, in my opinion, is the most anti-labor plaform they have submitted to the country in at least 16 years.” The President said the Taft-Hart- ley Law was only a first Republi- can step in “‘the repeal of most of the New Deal legislation.” Prior to the Eisenhower speech, the AFL delegates heard criticism directed at the Taft-Harley Law by wo administration officials. Secretary of Labor Maurice Tob- in said the law meant slow death to the labor movement. He was joined in the attack by Oscar Ewing, federal security admin- istrator. Minneapolis and St. Paul turned out in Mardi Gras style yesterday to greet Eisenhower. Billows of gaily colored confetti and paper streamers descended on the gen- eral and his wife Mamie as their motorcade toured the twin cities. Police estimated that more than! 300,000 persons lined the streets of the two cities, with by far the largest crowd in Minnieapolis that has voted Democratic in the past.
