Case are seeking election to the Congress because they believe in the Eisenhower program and want to see it enacted into law. Mr. Auchincloss is running for reelection in the Third Congressional District and Mr. Fre-linghuysen in the Fifth Congressional District, Mr. Case, a former representative, is running for a seat in the U.

S. Senate. "Tremendous Program" Mr. Auchincloss said the Eisenhower program has been described as 'tremendous in volume, enormous in detail and open to all sorts of controversy." He said this is an apt descrip tion 01 tne program, which is dynamic, active and alive. When President Eisenhower took office the country was economically burdened with an extravagant government, he said.

The people wanted a streamlined government that was eco nomical and not wasteful and they wanted peace. Mr. Auchincloss said that Pres ident Eisenhower has given them both. He gave as examples of re ductions in government opera tion, the disposition of a hotel in the Virgin Islands which cost the government $300,000 a year to operate, and a uniform factory at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The hotel has been sold to private enterprise, he said, and named representatives to attendlar group among Potters resi-meetings of the citizens' com- dents.
