Ike Delivers Strong Blast Al Democrats Harshest Words Os Campaign Used IfVCleveland Speech CLEVELAND, O. (UP)—President Eisenhower, using the harshest words of his campaign, today accused the Democrats of condoning “paycheck robbery” by not doing* enough to halt inflation. He also accused them of .Jilting the voters’ heads with “Wicked nonsense” about his administration and with "fancied ills" about ~~ the state of the nation. And he said the last time they were in power "special . favoritism, cronyism and laxity” reigned in. Washington. Mr. Eisenhower's strong blasts at the opposition party were contained in a campaign address prepared for delivery today in Cleveland's broad Public Square. The speech marked the first time the Chief Executive has, in political patla'nce, fully “opened up” on the Democrats in this campaign. He will follow it up with a second address tonight —a nationwide radio and television talk to be delivered at 9:30 p.m. from the University of Kentucky Coliseum in Lexington, Ky. It will be car- — ried by the Columbia Broadcastin? system. The barbs used in today’s address, coupled with a White House announcement Sunday that more speeches are being added to the President’s • itinerary, plainly showed Mr. Eisenhower is toughening up his campaign. The new speeches, the White House said, will be part of a campaign swing into Minnesota, Washington anti Oregon Oct. 17-19. In his attack today on the Democrats' handling of the inflation problem, Mr. Eisenhower said: "The men of the opposition know perfectly well that one of the main reasons they were thrown out of office four years ago was their tolerance of the thievery of inflation.” He said inflation cut the valta of the average American’s paycheck by one-third in a seven-year period, “yet the opposition did nothing to stop this economic thievery and they know it.” “The record shows we—not they (Democrat), — have made the' most successful fight to stop inflation's robbery of every paycheck." he said. In this industrial area where are thousands of uniqn members, — Mr. Eisenhower also paid particular attention to labor. He denounced as "more than political bunk” and “willful nonsense” what he called the Democratic idea that Democrats “alone truly care for the working men and women of America and that the Republican party is ’really a (Continued on Page Four) Eisenhower Calls For Community Fund Aid WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower Sunday pight asked all Americans to contribute to the United Community campaigns. , He said agencies benefitting from fund collections “will take care of children, heal the sick in body and mind, bring hope to the handicapped, minister to the aged, guide boys and girlg away from deliquency »n:c .q-tth s of fine American citizenship."

Unions And Swiss Agreed On Contact New Contract Ends Strike Os Sept. 20 CHICAGO (UP) —Swift and Co. today readied its plants to receive livestock for the first time since members of two unions walked out on strike Sept. 20. The strike ended Sunday. Both sides agreed to a contract which contains wage increases totalling 25 cents over a three-year period but omits mention of a union shop, one of the big issues in the disptfte. Accompany spokesman said the 25,000 employes involved in the work stoppage would be called back to their jobs as soon as they are needed. He said full production would be under way as soon as possible. The unions claimed a “tremendous victory” in spite of their failure to gain the union shop clause accepted by most of the other major packers. “We regret that Swift has not shown the same understanding of modern labor management regulations as have other meat packers,” the unions said. "This is especially true on the issue of the union shop.” The AFL-CIO United Packinghouse Workers and the Amalgamated Meat Cutjers will meet here Oct. 7 to ratify the agreement with Swift. The pact calls for an immediate general wage boost of 10 cents an hour, 7% cents more Sept 1, 1957, and a 7% cents increase Sept. 1, 1958. Wages also will be hiked by increasing rates for job classifications by as much as 13 cents. Each % point rise in the consumer price index will bring wages up 1 cent an hour. Other provisions call for improved sick pay benefits, separation pay for men who lose their jobs because of increased use of automation, and reduction of geographic pay differences. Before the agreement Swift employes received an average hourly rate of 32.38. Four Crewmen Die In British Crash Delta-Wing Bomber Crashes At London LONDON (UP) — One of Britain’s newest delta • wing bombers crashed in flames today at London airport, killing four crewmen.

Broadhurst was reported in critical condition. Howard apparently was unhurt and ran from the scene of the crash to the airport terminal. His wife, who had been waiting to welcome him home from a training flight to Australia, had seen the crash and ran into his arms. ' The wreckage of the giant plane blazed with a magnesium • like glare for 15 minutes afterwards. When the flames reached the tanks they blew up with a dull boom that sent twisted metal flying into the air. The plane was an RAT Avro Vulcan jet “atom bomber,” one of the latest in production in Britain. The pilot decided to land It on a 4,000mile flight from Aden despite rain and low -hanglag dlmjds that caus(Continued on Pa*e Two)

Moscow radio announced that Gero and Soviet premier Nikolai Bulganin had joined Tito. Soviet Communist party leader Nikita S. Khrushchev and security chief Gen. Ivan Serov in the mysterious Communist goings on in the Crimea. The Moscow broadcast made it sound like a pleasant summer outing with a patty of 20 or so high Communists and their wives strolling along the beach and sitting down to a luxurious meal. But there were growing indications the meeting was brought on by a major schism in the Communist party. Tito has become more friendly in recent months with most of the Communist satellites. But he has remained cool to Hungary and Albania, his neighbors who were second only to (Russia in attacking him when he broke with Josef Stalin,. The Communists earlier “appealed” Tito by ousting his archenemy, Matyas Rakosi, as head of the Communist party in Hungary and replacing him with Gero. But Tito has never indicated any great fondness for Gero who has made little radical changes in Hungarian policy. Rakosi was dismissed for being too strong a Stalin man-for following too closely the “cult of the individual,” Many observers con(Continued on Page Two) Father Os Decatur Man Dies Saturday Fred E.

Delegates To Attend Third Canal Parley s Japan, Pakistan, Ethiopia Refuse Users Association LONDON (UP) — Japan. Pakistan and Ethiopia refused today to join the Suez Canal users association being formed here in hopes of forcing Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser to negotiate an end to the Suez crisis. But they kept hopes of eventual Western unity alive by announcing their delegates would sit it on the remainder of the third London Suez conference. Eighteen nations. which backed the original Dulles plan for placing the canal under International operation met here today to try to complete the association before the United Nations security council can act later this week. They were faced not only with a speedup because of early U. N. action but the problem of maintaining unity of purpose. They also * faced the fact that Nasser has shown no indication of changing his mind. A Cairo dispatch said the Egyptian delegation to the security council left early this morning with strict orders to reject any resolution based on international control of the canal. The 18 nations meeting here today were the ones that backed the original “Dulles plan" for placing the canal under international opTwo of them. Japan and Pakistan, were cool to the association idea and sent only observers today. Ethiopia still was undecided. But the West received a boost when Iran — one of the original doubters — announced its adherence to the SCUA. Foreign minister Aligholi Ardalan told the press that keeping the canal open was vital to his country. Today’s delegates were less important than the foreign ministers who attended the last two Suez conferences here. They were ambassadors and high commissioners, but the target was the same: To perfect the plan and sell it to the nations that use the Suez Canal.
