As Told to Staff Writer Murray Davis
NEW YORK —Monday morning, February 4, was my
first working day in Washington. It also was an eye-open
er to what I was getting into. , jf
The duplicity of official Washington Was therr ahead of
me. a
In fact that morning started .with
a revelation. A lot of people on the
government payroll don’t do* any
ftwork. It was brought home to me
' by a woman standing at the gate
In Union station as I walked off
the platform. She asked to be as
signed to me.
Through questioning, I learned
she was a clerk in the Department
of Justice—my department. I ask
, ed her the nature of her work.
“Well, I’ve been with them for
six months and I’ve, worked only
a half hour,” she replied. “I work
/with three other people who don’t
do any work either.”
I was learning about Washington.
I was going to learn much more
before the week was out. But it
didn't dawn on me then, that this
woman’s story could be repeated
over and over again by other fed
eral employees.

Mighty Mo Turns
Million Votes
To Be Cast In
Jersey Today
NEWARK, N. J. (IPi Sen.
Robert A. Taft* and Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower put
their political fortunes on
the line todav when an ex
pected 1.000.000 New Jersey
voters pick their presidential
choice.
A forecast of warm but cloudy
weather from the opening of polls
at 7 a.m. EST until the 8 p.m.
closing promised to bring out the
heaviest primary vote in the
state's history.
The ballot was complicated with
211 candidates seeking 38 Repub
lican and 36 Democratic seats at
the parties’ national nominating
conventions, a U. S. senatorial con
test and 14 congressional races.
Automatic tabulating machines
were expected to speed the count
ing in eight of 21 counties but
slower tallying in rural areas might
cause the final outcome to be de
layed until late tomorrow.
Republican and Democratic deleg
ates technically were uninstructed,
but the winner in the popular vot
ing was expected to receive the ma
jor share of the convention ballots.
GOVERNOR FOR IKE
Eisenhower, facing his first popu
larity test since resigning as head
of European defense forces, had the
support of Gov. Alfred E. Driscoll
and his state • organization.
Taft supporters, accusing Dris
coll of “breaking his word” by en
dorsing Eisenhower instead of re
maining neutral, - waged a furious
all-out drive for votes and said they
would claim a moral victory if the
Ohio senators polled 20 to .>5 per
WdNMsware their chan?
ces for national survival could stand
pr fall op the outcome of the vot
ing in New Jersey, a key point in
the Eastern section of the country
which must be carried by the can
didate winning the presidency in
November.
