VOLUME 3
ERWIN NAN HELD IN BANK ROBBERY
* GOP Is Facing 1
Tests In 3
State Elections
WASHINGTON (UP)
Republican political pres
tige, badly' damaged this
month in Wisconsin, is rid
ing again on a series of elec
tions beginning one week
from today in New York,
New Jersey and California.
/ A New. York and New Jersey come
|| up first on Nov. 3. A mayoralty
r contest in New York City offers
the Republican Party a slim chance
to win.
Defeat there would not seriously
l . wound the party. An upset Repub
| lican victory would be a morale
booster at a moment when the Eia
- enhower administration needs it
because of the loss of a congress
ional seat in Wisconsin.
LA GUARDI A LAST
. New York has not elected a ma
yor on the Republican ticket since
1)96 although John P. Mitchell.
4 1911, and FloreUo H. La Guardia.
whose terms spanned 1934-45, were
Republicans who accepted fusionist
nomination.
It i# '* different story in New
Jersey, where successors to a Re
publican goyercior and a Republican
congressmanfrom the 6th District
are to be elected, and in Californ
ia where another staunchly Repub
lican House seat is up for grabs
Nov. 10.
NEEDED FOR MAJORITY
The Republicans must win those
two congressional by-elections to
8 hold their own in the House of
-.a Representatives and their own Isn't

Cattlemen Ask
I Price Supports
On Live Cattle
WASHINGTON (UP)
Hardpressed cattlemen from
32 states formally asked the
administration today for
price supports on live cattle
“at a minimum of 90 per
cent of parity.”
The cattlemen, members of a
“caravan” which came here to tell
their story to government official*,
made the request in a resolution
drawn up for President Eisenhow
er and Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra T. Benson.
Benson told the livestock raisers
yesterday he Is not convinced that
a price support program for live
beef aniipals would work. But he
said he had an “open mind” on
the question.
URGENT PETITION
The group responded today with
an “urgent” petition for the pro
gram and said it Is needed imme
diately.”
The resolution asked parity sup
ports for “major grades and class
es of cattle” through “a combina
tion of all support methods” —in
cluding "direct government pgr*
chase of live cattle" If necessary.
The caravan, sponsored by the
National Fanners Union, made
public the resolution as a commit
tee of its leaders met with Benson
and Undersecretary True D.
Morse.
The committee chairman said he
believed the government would
have to buy flew, if any, cattle
should such a program be adopted
by Benson.
