Closeness Of Nov. 2 Election Indicated
By Refusal Of Ike To Make Prediction
WASHINGTON. Nov. I—UP—
'feBackstairs at the White House:
President Eisenhower's refusal
last week to make a public predic-
tion on the outcome of Tuesday's
congressional elections reflects the
feeling of much of his staff. They
have their fingers crossed.

voting. FDR relished his visits to
the town hall at Hyde Park where
he delighted in giving his occupa-

booth over one day when he
couldn't get the voting machine to
function properly.

marathon session attended by fed-
eral mediators, representatives of
the Publishers Association of New

tra holiday — Lincoln's birthday
—in addition to the seven paid
holidays they now receive. Pub
