Miners, Operators
In Indiana Agree
TERRE HAUTE, Sept. 20, (UP) -Five Indiana mine operators who employ all except a few dozen of the state's 3500 strip miners reached a new contract agreement today with the United Mine
Warkers. ; The agreement meant that, barirng unforeseen circumstances, the 8500 Hoosier United Mine Workers will stay on the job while miners in other states go on strike Monday. Ernest Agee, head of the Indiana Coal Producers Association here, said the Maumee Collieries signed a new independent contract last night and the four other “big” strip operators would sign today. Mr. Agee said the five concerns operate all the major strip mines in Indiana except a handful of| tiny one-mine companies. “We think now the strip mines in Indiana will be working,” Mr. Agee said. Roscoe McKinney, president of UMW District 11, confirmed the agreements and expressed the same opinion as Mr, Agee regarding the strike status in Indiana. Operators scheduled to sign today were the Ayrshire Collieries Corp., the Shasta Coal Corp. 8herwood-Templeton Coal Co., and Central Indiana Coal Co.

‘Who Made ‘Gifts’ to
By JOHN L. CUTTER United Press Staff Correspondent KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 20— Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower took time out to give a clean bill of health to his running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, last night, and then in .a major speech lashed out at Gov. Adlai Stevenson as
a “front” for “corrupt” city bosses. The Republican presidential
candidate addressed a crowd of about 14,000 in this stronghold of the late Thomas Pendergast, the “Boss” who launched President Truman into national politics. Gen. Eisenhower re-wrote the
his complete confidence in Sen. Nixon, who admitted acepting 1$16,000 from a group of California backers during the past two years to defray office and other ex- | penses. The crowd in Kansas City Mu{nicipal Auditorium cheered when | Gen. Eisenhower told them that “knowing Dick Nixon as I do, I

known to all of us, they will show {that Dick Nixon would not com|promise with what is right. Both {he and.I believe in a single stand-

Then the former General launched into the “corruption” issue in his fight with Gov.

Nixon to Stay Put
Gen. Eisenhower's support of his young running mate was generally accepted as laying to rest any idea that Nixon might be dropped from the ticket. James Hagerty, the General's press secretary, said such an idea never had been mentioned during high level talks among Eisenhower strategists. In his speech, Gen. Eisenhower attacked the Truman administration, charging that the scandals which have rocked it resulted from ghe fact that “this administrat®®n has allowed and helped the machine bosses in our cities to move their kind into {federal posts, and to practice on {the national level the vicious {morals of boss politics.” { “These differences.” Gen. Eisenhower said, “are the issues of this campaign.

Nixon? GOP Asked
By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 20—Gov. | Adlai E. Stevenson today invited] the : Republican Party to prove publicly that its vice presidential
candidate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, | broke no laws by accepting $16,000 in contributions towards his Senate expenses. Before leaving today for this first campaign speech in the South, the Democratic presidential nominee also requested the GOP to tell who gave Sen. Nixon the money and “was it given to influence the Senator's position on public questions.” However restrained Gov. Stevenson’s language may have been, it represented -a long-deliberated decision on the part of the Illnois governor's camp to make a full issue of Sen. Nixon and his contributions.

Gov. Adlai Stevenson said that leven if the Korean War could have been avoided, the United, States would have taken a fight-|

fend their country “not to make good the errors of the past . . . but the promise of the future.” Gov: Stevenson's son, Adlai Jr., was one of the 600 Marines who received his second lieutenant’s commission at the ceremonies.

Gov. Stevenson said American policy leading up to the Korean War is like the rest of history— “a record, in tragic parts, of things done which should not have been done, things not done which should have been done.” The Stevenson staff did not want thbir candidate to jump into the Nixon controversy immedi-

‘Was Money Given?
“From what I have heard about it, the questions seem to be: “Who gave the money, was it given to influence the Senator's position on public questions; and have any laws been violated?” “I am sure that the great Re-| publican Party will ascertain these facts, will make them public, and| act in accordance with our best traditions and with due respect for the second most important position in the land. “Condemnation without all the evidence, a practice all too familiar to us, would be wrong.” Some of the more influential members of Gov. Stevenson's staff felt that the disclosure of Sen. Nixon's contributions shaped up as a workable antidote to the Re-| publican campaign against cor-| ruption in the Democratic admin-| istration.
Hope for GOP Split
The Stevenson strategists hoped today the Nixon controversy would have the effect of increas ing what they regard as serious divisions within the GOP, plus giving the Democrats a new gun mount for more shelling at Gen.!

Malik Delays Moscow Trip Third Time
POW Repatriation Sole Issue at Stake
By United Press
LONDON, Sept. 20—Soviet United Nations delegate Jacob Malik’s third postponement of his return to Moscow
stirred speculation today Russia may be preparing a new move to break the Korean armistice deadlock. Western experts on Russian policy said there are signs the Soviets may come up wtih a compromise proposal for a ceasefire. , They said the Kremlin might suggest that a truce be concluded on the basis of agreements already reached in the Panmune jom military negotiations. Then the sole remaining issue— repatriation of war prisoners— could be settled by civilian delegations after the shooting stops.
First to Suggest Talks
If, as is thought, the Kremlin is planning a new Korea move, Mr. Malik would be .an obvious choice to make it. It was he who first suggested the Korean peace talks last year, Among indications that some-

«This “interpretation was supported by the fact that the officlal Soviet Communist Party newspaper Pravda published a proposal by Vincent Hallinan, Progresisve Party candidate for the American presidency, along these lines. Although Pravda did not comment on the proposal, the newspaper's treatment and timing of the report suggested the idea was not unwelcome to the Communists. . Another reason for Mr. Malik’s postponement of his departure was believéd the likelihood Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky will not attend the United Nations General Assembly until after the American presidential election.
