pression into the greatest era of prosperity America has ever known.” “This was done over the opposition of the Republican leaders/* he said. “For the last 20 years the Republican bosses have fought with blind fui*y against every measure designed to help the farmer, to protect our senior citizens, to encourage the expansion of industry and to rebuild the prosperity of the nation.” ; , \ ' In foreign V affairs, Stevenson continued, the Democrats “replaced a policy of isolatioin and national strength and cooperation with other free countries.’!

Ike Seeks To End Democrat Hold On South Campaigns In Texas | On 62nd Birthday; \ Attacks Oil Policy ENROUTE WITH EISENHOWER, (UP) —Dwight D. Eisenhower spught today to break the Democratic hold on the solid south by telling Texans that Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson’s tidelstads | oil policy amounts to a “shakedown.” Eisenhower's first Texas stop Was at Houston, and from there he, proceeded to Waco, Lubbock and San Antonio. Police Inspector Bill Haley estimated the crowd at his Houston appearance at: 65.000. However, newsmen estimated It appeared nearer 20,000. \ This was Eisenhower’s G2nd birthday—he was born, in Denison, Tex.—and he started observing it early. after his train pulled into Houston, he was presented with a large cake by \a group of four giggling teen-agers. From then on, the day was a procession of: mountainous, sugary cakes and endless band serenades. Eisenhower was introduced jn Houston by Price Daniel, the Texas attorney general ahd current Democratic nominee for U. S. senator, who (ike most of the Democratic Texas leadership is supporting the GOP presidential nominee. Eisenhower devoted the first of a two-day swing through pivotal Texas to one of his strongest appeals for the states rights votes of Insurgent -Democrats. il As Eisenhower praised the people of Texas for their independence of political influence from such Democratic machines as the Pendergast Organization in Kansas City. Mo., he injected in his prepared speech his newest distinction between liberals and reactionaries. \ ,"The true! modern' reactionary is a man who wants to concentrate power in Washington while the true liberal is a man who wants a diffusion of that power,” he said. The Republican presidential candidate said that “preservation of law' and order, the elbow room to produce and build, protection of our titles to land, the' sacredness of our homes from intrusion, bur right to get the best schooling for our children” had all been secured through state and local governments He said that such functions must be kejpt in the domain of the states, I “Otherwise an allpowerful Washington bureaucracy will rob us one by one of the whole bundle of our liberties.” Although he touched on the whole issue of states’ versus federal rights, he hammered hardest on the problem of tidelands. "I have always felt | that the titles to these submerged lands should be recognized in (he states out to their historic boundaries,” Elsenhower said. He said [[Stevenson “wants to take oyer the tidelands, and dole out to the states whatever Washington decides you ought to have. “That isn’t what I Call a fair shake. I call it a shakedown,” he said. , — b I Reveals Hunch On Korea Armistice J Oscar Ewing Speaks To Future Farmers KANSAS CITY, Mo. UP —Federal security administrator Oscar, R. Ewing said today he has a "hunch” the Communists will agree to a Korean armistice by December. Ewing; made the > statement in a; speech prepared for delivery before a convention of the Future Farmers of America. He said he knows many meipbers of that | farm youth organization “have your hearts in far-off Korea.” He • added: . . \ ■= .“I have a feeling—and it is not based on any specific knowledge, just a hunch—that aftet the present desperate assaults of the Red soldiery are stopped, that possibly the enemy will finally agree, an armistice in the last month of this year. Ido fervently pray for thia.” Ewing said, however,, that even after the Korean war is over, "We still will not be able, to settle down with complete peace of mind.” ,' | “We will still have to keep our guards up, our eyes keen and our muscles stained against the danger of another attack/’ he said; He predicted that the threat of Communist aggression “will continue for a long while.” I fwi' '' ■ ?

Eisenhower who will not be fooled by the Communists or by Stalin.” * The California senator, accompanied by his Wife, was greeted by about 75 persons when his chartered plane landed at Tri-City Airport neqr Midland at 1:55.a.m. Nixon, in his- first nationwide radio-television appearance since defending his use olf an 118,000 expense fund, said at New York Monday night that Stevenson, Democratic .presidential nominee, backed [Hiss at a, time when all the facts in the state department official’s case were known. The youthful Republican vice presidential [nominee said that Stevenson, therefore, was unfit to be President because of his failure to recognize the Communist threat at home, . - At the same time, Nixon made it plain he wigs not questioning Stevenson’s loyalty. “Let me emphasize there is no question in ;my blind as to the loyalty of Mr. ,Stevenson, but the question is one as to his judgment and it is a vety grave question. “He has failed to recognize the threat, as marly have failed to recognize |t around him.

He spoke from a CBS studio in midtown Manhattan while reporters were accommoidated at another studio 22 blocks away “to keep the press away from him.” Russia Refuses To : i' ' : C ! ■ : ! Withdraw Demand Continue Demands For Kennan Recall UP — Russia refused today to withdraw its demand 1 tor the recal; of U. S. Ambassador George FL Fennan and again accused him of lying about the isolatioe of Western in .Mosciow. lln Washington, the state department said it bad no comment on fcfte new Soviet note, but might issue a statement later today. The Russians stuck to their charge-of Oct. 3 that Kennan had violated diplomatic custom in likening the plight of Western diplomats in Russia to life under internment in Nazi Germany during World War 11. ’ The Soviets were replying to an American note of Oct. 8 rejecting Moscow’s charges as invalid. The reply said the American contention that Kennan had only “accurately and in moderate [language” described the isolation of Western diplomats in Moscow was 1 “in crude contrast to realty and is entirely groundless.” j “This arbitrary assertion represents an unfounded attempt to justify the mendacious statement hostile to the Soviet Union made by the former U. S. ambassado'r to the Mr. Kennan,” ; the brief reply said. Although the Soviet note referred to Kennan as the “former” American ambassador to Moscow, the United States still regards him as accredited to the Soviet Union and refuses to take the formal step of him. however) there is no way in which the United States can retdrn Kennan to Moscow now that the Soviet Union has declared him persona non grata. Kennan at present \is in Boon, Germany, and.. American - sources expect him to remain there, at least for the rest'of the year, as a special adviser to the state department on Soviet affairs. \ The Soviet demand for Kennan’s recall stemmed from a statement he made at a preiss conference on his arrival in Berlin from Moscow Sept. 19Von his way to an American diplomatic conference in London. — —r Trade in a Good town —Decatur!
