THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR, INDIANA

Democrats Assail Eisenhower Speech

SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-Cali-fornia Democrats charged today that President Eisenhower made an “openly partisan” attack on Sen. John F. Kennedy. They demanded equal radio and television time to answer it. Eisenhower Thursday night indirectly accused the Democratic presidential nominee of debasing the truth in campaign statements that U.S. prestige abroad has fallen sharply in recent years. Roger Kent, state chairman of the Kennedy forces, immediately labelled the address before the Commonwealth Club as “an attack on Sen. Kennedy and an endorsement of Vice President Richard M. Nixon,” the GOP nominee. “This shows that the Republicas are crudely using Mr. Eisenhower’s office to advance Nixon and Lodge,” Kent said in a statement. It was the first official Democratic anger expressed, since the

President began taking oblique pokes at the opposition during a cross-country tour called “non-po litical” by the White House. The President flew to San Diego today to address the Inter-Ameri-can Congress of Municipalities at an outdoor Rotary Club lunch. After the talk, he planned to make a beeline for his desert retreat at Palm Springs, Calif., for a weekend of golf and rest. The White House did not dispute Kent’s assertion that the President's talk, carried by four San Francisco television stations and two radio stations, was political. But Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hagerty, informed of Kent’s charge that it was a mockery of justice for the President to seek free TV and radio time for a partisan speech unless equal time were granted the opposition, declared: “As usual, Mr. Kent doesn’t know what he’s talking about. At no time did the White House ask for time on television and radio. I would think Mr. Kent would inform himself of the facts before he makes a charge about the President of the United States.” In remarks clearly aimed at Kennedy’s assertions that U.S. world leadership is declining, Eisenhower said: “When in the race of a bright record of progress and. development, we hear some misguided people wail that the United States is stumbling into the status of a second-class power and that our prestige has slumped to an alltime low, we are simply listening to debasement of the truth.” The audience, including many persons wearing “Nixon” label buttons, cheered and applauded at this obvious reference to Kennedy. The Democratic senator has said he does not consider this nation a second-rate power but believes it should be stronger to meet the Soviet military challenge. In his remarks viewed as attacks on Kennedy’s theme that American prestige has dropped, the President said: “Let us not be misled by those who.. . seem so fond of deprecating the standing, condition and performance of the entire nation. The economic and social statistics of a nation cannot be conveniently compared like Olympic track records.” This was an obvious rebuttal to Kennedy’s claim that the Soviet rate of economic growth is higher than the U.S. rate. Eisenhower maintained any comparison must take account of the fact that Russia began from a smaller base so each little gain is a relatively greater percentage increase. Incorrect Report On Circus Incident The story about Mrs. Bud Lindei mar, better known by her stage name of Betty Pascoe, which was in the Daily Democrat this week, was an incorrect report. The report was from a Texas paper which had a picture and story about Mrs. Lindemar telling of how her foot became entangled in a rope while performing her high wire act for the Shrine circus in Corpus Christi, Texas. However, the performer was not Mrs. Lindemar, it was learned today from Mrs. Harold DeVor. The Lindemars live in the DeVor trailer court on Thirteenth street when not on the road. Jaycee Charter Banquet Tonight The Junior Chamber of Commerce will hold its charter banquet this evening at the Decatur Youth and Community Center. Besides the local members, and the members from the extending club of Fort Wayne, representatives of Jaycee clubs throughout northern Indiana are expected to be on hand. The state president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce will make the formal address at the dinner.
