In 1944, Gov. Schricker called a special session for the express purpose of “simplifying” the laws for’ Hoosiers in service.

Eisenhower, as well as Louisiana and Texas, which are balking at ‘his stand on the tidelands oil issue. Mr. Stevenson’s advisers. emphasized that the swing had been planned long before Gen. Eisenhower staged the first major invasion of the South by a GOP presidential candidate.

Adlai Faces Fight But rumblings of revolt in the South, stirred up by Gen Eisenhower’s ‘“clear-up-the-mess” trip, indicated that Mr. Stevenson might have to put up a fight to keep the Democratic stronghol intact. 3 : Gov. Herman Talmadge Georgia said Gen. Eisenhower “made a great many friends” in his Southern swing and asserted that the South is “getting more and more doubtful every day.” Gov. Robert F. Kennon described Louisiana as “wide open” and hinted he personally might swing behind Gen. Eisenhower. In South Carolina a petition, signed by more than 50,000 persons headed by Gov. James F. Brynes, was filed to place Gen. Eisenhower on the ballot as an independent candidate. Gen. Eisenhower returned from his 2-day invasion of the South last night to report that he had been - “inspired” by the cheering reception given his attacks on the “mess” and the “crazy spending” of the administration. Eisenhower ‘Inspired’ Gen. Eisenhower arrived at Philadelphia at 11:26 a. m., Indianapolis Time, today to make a speech tonight in which he is expected to_ criticize the Truman

law for men and women in the armed forces and the merchant marine. In 1945, this was made a part

through 239. But in 1947, the Republican-con-trolled legislature killed the simplified election law. The lawmakers wiped out the sections in the election code dealing with absentee ballots. Mr. Craig's proposal would change the election law back to the 1945 election code. He said the present law threatens to disfranchise most of the qualified voters among the 80,000 Indiana servicemen.

proposal. However, he said: “I want everyone eligible to vote. But I don’t know why this (Craig's) proposal wasn’t brought up during the last session of the legislature.” John Carvey, Democratic candidate for Congress, was more critical of Mr. Craig's proposal. He said: “The Republican Party had iron-tight control of the last General Assembly and if they wanted to change Indiana’s absentee voting laws they could have done it then. I'm sure even responsible Republicans recognize this as a cheap political trick by Craig.” ‘Cool Response’ The United Press reported Mr. Craig's proposal received a ‘cool response” from -a top Republican leader. The UP dispatch, sent to newspapers all over the state, said: “A GOP leader, who asked that his name be withheld, said he saw

administration's foreign policy. The speech will be carried by NBC television and radio facilities beginning at 8:30 p. m. The Republican National Committee disclosed that Gen. Eisenhower’'s first “whistle stop” tour will start Sept. 15, when he will board his campaign train for 11-day swing through 12 states. The tour, which will hit the south again as well as the heart of the nation’s farm belt, will include at least eight major speeches and 70 rear platform talks. Gets on Record

Mr. Stevenson takes off on his first major campaign swing tomorrow—a flying tour through nine Western states. Mr. Stevenson’s aids said the Western swing would be devofed to getting him on the record on all major issues —an apparent attempt to make Gen. Eisenhower's later discussions of the questions appear “me too” in mature. g Gen. Eisenhower's tour will begin Monday morning, Sept. 15, at Ft. Wayne, Ind, and wind up in Richmond, Va., Friday night, Sept. 26. To Address AFL

He will leave his campaign train ‘Sept. 16 for a flying visit to New York City for an address before the convention of the American Federation of Labor on Sept. 17. Later the same day he will rejoin his train at Davenport, Towa. He will ‘arrive at Ft. Wayne at 8 a. m., Sept. 15 and leave at 8:15 a.m. He then will arrive at Warsaw at 9 a. m., and leave at 9:15 a. m.; then arrive at Plymouth at 9:40 a. m., and leave 9:55 a. m.; arrive at La Porte at 12:25 p. m., and leave at 12:40 p. m.; arrive
