Ohio Governor Not Seeking Presidency Sees No Chance Os Party Nomination CLEVELAND (INS) — Ohio Gov. Frank J. Lausche ha* declared that he 1* not seeking the presidency but adds that it the Democratic presidential nomination were offered. "1 would Stot flee froui' my responsibilities.’’ The five-term governor has already announced that he will run for the senate from Ohio this year, but has also entered bls name as the favorite-son candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Interviewed on NBC's televised "meet the Press," Lausch* said he is convinced he has no chance of winning the party’s presidential nomination. He explained that he agreed to become a favorite son only to keep the Ohio delegation to the 1956 Democratic convention from being traded by the politicians like "a mess of pottage." He said he is “practically certain” he will not seek delegates in any other state, and added that he has turned down bids to build up his delegate strength in Florida New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Indiana and Minnesota. He vigorously denied a rumor that he entered the 1956 presidential sweepstakes to keep Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tennj from grabbing Ohio’s delegation. Lauscbe said he has "profound respect" for Kfifauver, and said there would be "no ill will’’ If the Tennessee senator, Adlai E. Stevenson. or aay other candidate entered the Ohio primary. He added, however, that he is not seeking such competition. Asked whether he considers himself a Democrat in view of his conservative stand on many issues, Lausche replied: “I do not believe we should blindly followthe demands made on us by our party.” He said he believes his record in Ohio has i shown a "liberality commensurate with the times.” While paying high praise to President Eisenhower, he explained: “all things being equal, I will support the Democratic candidate thia year.’ ’ Lausche admitted.«however, that he voted for the late Sen. Robert A. Taft in his 1950 senatorial battle with Joseph Ferguson. The governor said he did so because he felt Ferguson, whom he described as a good friend, “Would have been the special agent of special labor bosses" in the senate.

lack Os Facilities May Curb Building " Housing Industry Seeks Assistance WASHINGTON (INS) — Housing industry leaders have appealed to the government for help in solving a growing nation wide problem which they say threatens to curb future home construction. The problem concents community facilities such as waterworks, streets, schools and other services which city governments normally provide in new housing projects. In recent years, however, municipalities have seriously lagged behind the home building boom in their public works operations. As a result, housing men are becoming increasingly concerned that the problem will worsen, eventually curtailing home construction. i To help remedy the situation, i the national association of home ! builders has asked housing admin•iMrktor Albert M. Cole to appoint a trouble-shooting commission to study the matter and make recommendatiphs. NAHB is said to have urged Cole to discuss the matter with the White House in hopes that President Eisenhower might create a special group on community, facilities similar to the committee the chief executive appointed in 1953 to study the nation’s housing problems. Meanwhile, the community facilities question is scheduled for top billing at NA MB’s 12th annual conI vention in Chicago Jan. 22-26. and | association officials plan to bring 1 the matter to the attention of con- . gress later this year. NAHB has scheduled a panel 1 discussion at the convention on ’ die subject: “The great dilemma—--1 meeting the problems of communi ity facilities and land development sos expanding -America.” More than 25,000 persons are e»pected to attend the Chicago meeting which the association describes as the “biggeskhpme show ever staged.” ‘ ‘X . Besides the community facilities rftatter, delegates will also: 1. Hear a full discussion by topnotch financial experts concerning I the outlook for mortgage financing ■ and reports on the government’s ! urban renewal and slum clearance programs. 7' 2. Discuss ways of "meeting the -issue of -public housing,” by stepping up construction of 14w-cost homes. - - '”3. Learn the effects of the atomic age on home building, new i trends in the use of plastics in thehome and improved techniques in construction, lighting, eolor and decoration. Labor secretary James P. Mitchell. -Gen. James A. Van Fleet, former U. S. army commander in Korea and Boyd Campbell, president of the U.’b. Chamber of Commerce. head the list of speakers addressing the convention. Housing administrator Cole and other top federal officials are also scheduled to be heard on current government housing problems.
