Adlai Hits At GOP Platform As Indecisive /*. Stevenson 1$ Ready ' For Personal Scrap v With GOP Nominee . I - a NEW YORK UP — Got. Adlai Stevenson, against the sympathetic' backdrop of the New York state Democratic organization, today picked a considered scrap with Dwight D. Idtsenhower, the GOP presidential nominee. “You ain’t seen nothing,” said one of Stevenson's aides as the Democratic nominee embarked on a busy day of three speeches and numerous meetings with party from this area, plus an array of labor and minority group spokeimeti. 4 Stevenson’s aides said the Illinois governor was ready to go well his acid treatment of Eisenhower Wednesday sight \at Asbury Ifark, N. J., where the Democrat derided his opponent I for, id his opinion, treading the ; Dempcra/tic -platform. Stevenson’s mood on this, his first, major excursion into the East, appeared to be so combative .‘i as, to wipe out any hope in some tactions of both parties that the presidential campafen could be conducted on what has been referred to, as “a high level.” Stevenson i seemed completely willing to make the campaign a 'personal, as well as a broadly ideological, affair. 1 , The Democratic’ candidate scheduled three speeches today—one at a midday luncheon; given by the “Volunteers for Stevenson” at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and tonight, in separate appearances. before the state Democratic convention and the coh : clave Qf the Liberal party. In addition to his speeches, Stevenson scheduled conferences with Italian and Polish groups with wide Eastern memberships, a large group of national GIO officials, labor leaders from the New York arei and at least 17 Democratic congressional candidates from throughout the state. Friday, after another morning round: of conferences, Stevenson will fly back- to his base df operations at Springfield, 111., to complete plans for his Labor Day tour of Michigan, which will include a major speech at Detroit Sept. 1. Sleyenson in his speech Wednesday before the American Legion convention, confined himself generally to the "non-political’’ billing given his address. Oncd he left Madison Square Garden and the.\Legionnanres, he turned to the more direct phraseology of a tub-thumping party pep talk at the Jumping Brook Country Club t outside Asbury Park where a number of party faithful —j and contributors —gathered over broiled steaks. *-. Thej Democratic candidate dumped sarcastic pity on Eisenhower for having to “stand on a bushel sos eels” —Stevenson’s tart description-of the GOP platform. “It looks more and more as though he were going to stand on our platform,” Stevenson said of Eisenhower. “And what’s worrying me is that I don’t see how we cap collect any renuk Stevenson went beyond Eisenhower ate a personality and said he did not think the Republican party was '“capable of governing decisively and well ip its present condition—torn between a vaporous yearning to return to a dear, •» dead past on the one hand, and stirred by anxiety to reaffirm the liberal, ■> progressive ideas that brought if to birth.' “The Republicans,” he continued, “are split wide. open on foreign policy. On domestic policy only now are they slowly and reluctantly accepting the Ideas sponsored* by the Democratic party years ago. A party so disorganized and sterile cannot successfully manage the affairs of our. nation in this time of crisis.’* ' /< r ■ . ./ ~~ 7th, Bth Graders z Register Friday Decatur high school principal ' Hugh J.

Kimball, Pace Ask Legion To Back Program Legion's National Convention Slated To End Late Today NEW YORK, UP — The top civilian heads of the army and: navy told the American Legion today of new and deadlier weapons in the development stage and asked Legionnaires to back up requests for the money to build, them. Navy secretary Dan A. Kimball and army secretary Frank Pack/ 7 Jr., addressing the wind-up session of the four-day 34th national Legion convention, described advances in the field of guided missiles and stressed the potential of the atom fn firepower and drive power. ■ <* Kimball told the Legfonnaires gathered in Madison Square Garden that the navy has several planes now coming into produc- . tion which can out-perform the best planes known to be in the hands of the Russians. “And we have even Jt.. f planes In the development sta« ges,” he added. Pace said the army will add its ground-to-air guided missile, the Nike, to its present weapons. He told the Legionnaires he had seen the Nike soar up 30,000 to 40,000 feet and strike targets seeking to evade it. While gathered to hear reports on preparedness by the army, navy, and air force chief, the Legion delegates were getting ready for a hot floor fight late today in the election of a new national commander. After early caucusing, it appeared that Lewis K. Gough, Pasadena, Calif., a navy commander in World War II who now is a state inheritance tax appraiser, was the front runner for the office. But Gough’s main opponent, Walter E. Allessandroni, 39, Philadelphia, a lawyer who was a marine captain in World War IL insisted he would pick up strength on the ,- floor when delegates felt free to break ffom the “organization” leaders. Pace said rotation of troops from Korea and scheduled, discharges during fiscal 1953 while maintaining combat readiness will “strain every nerve and sinew of the army.” 1 Kimball said U. S. naval forces throughout the world are “providing a powerful deterrent to the spread of \ “I firmly believe,” he said, “that had we had sufficient naval power in- the Far East, there would have been no Korea, nor an Indo-China, nor any other incident or war of limited scope.” Kimball urged the Legion to support navy requests for appproprlations and “resist those who <Twr® T® Pace Flee) — Rev.
