| Wash gton Calling— Voter—You Ain’t Seen Nothing-’ Campaign to Sizzle
‘BY The Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Sept. 27—October is the payoff.
Five m build up
¢ weeks of campaigning ahead. Tension will
The Nixon episode has solidified Republican ranks for Ike, Democratic ranks for Stevenson. Now both sides start bidding for the big independent vote. It will tell the
tale.
Truman, Eisenhower, Stevenson and Taft trips, which get rolling in next few days, will turn on the heat in every section of country. You haven't seen anything
yet.
Truman is cocky, still sure he has the magic which brought throngs to his whistle-stops in 1948. He'll work hard as he ever did for himself. He's scheduled eight 0 speeches a day, out to West Coast and back. He'll hit harder, use tougher language than Stevenson. Adlai’s reception in next few days will give first tip on country’s reaction to disclosure he had his own Illinois
fund to pad outsalaries of his official family. He’s bidding first to hold onts strength Truman had in ’48 in midwest states. He faces tough test as he goes south. Ike’s problem as he heads for West Coast, is how to win reclamation and public power states. Democrits have been carrying them. But Democratic margins have been slipping each time since Roosevelt-
Willkie campaign. If Eisenhow-
er gives more Solid assurances on western problems than Dewey did, he may be able to speed up trend to GOP: Taft’s stumping will be done in border and Midwest states. Ike’s Baltimore speech was a blow to many of his Pentagon friends. They feel he
struck out at his owm kind,
some Congressmen believe, They say top Air Force and Navy public works officials have been—and some still are -—in Spain. They think it means action.
Bolster Air Power BUILDUP OF U. 8. airpower in Korea continues.
Air Force is strengthening -
all combat wings in Japan and Korea to 150 per cent of normal strength, has this nearly completed. It’s’ been done by holding back on deliveries to NATO nations. They've screamed— but we've gone ahead giving Far East priority. Ndvy’s done same thing. It has three big carriers in Xo-
His embrace of Johnson com- = rean waters. Number of Ma-
mittee’s military waste charges
outraged them most. They were surprised and bitter at his lukewarm indorsement of UMT, for which he has fought in the past. One of Ike’s oldest friends shut off his TV set with an oath and went to bed.
GOP “Confident
OHIO GOP leaders are confident—after Ike's passage through the state—that last of the post-convention bitterness over Taft's defeat is drying up. So far, Republican campaign contributions there have run far below normal. Party leaders think Taft diehards. were waiting to hear from Senator, Now they hope Ohioans will open their pocketbooks as they opened theif arms for Ike. Note: GOP National Committee says domations in letters following Nixon broadcast may make up the $75,000 it cost. One out of gvery 20 letters contains some money. Letters are swamping & crew of 18 workers at headquarters here. Western Union wishes Nixon had tipped them off before he asked public to telegraph Republican headquarters. It was caught with its ' ire. down. Within two minutes after his speech ended, W. U. switchboards were lit yp like Christmas trees. Lines were jammed for hours. Most wires were addressed to Washington, and office here had te call on New York and Philadelphia for help. Note: That letter from young mother read by fen. Nixon on his TV show wag not inspired by this week’s uproar. He read it at Republican State Convention in Ohio two months ago.
Directed at Payne
IF MAINE'S a guide, election results there were not so gloomy for Pepublicans as many of them thought. It’s true that Gov. Frederick Payne, winner of Senate seat, fell 13 per cent behind majority of Sen. Margaret Chase Smith in 1948. But GOP percentage of the total vote for House seats was a little higher than in 1948, Indicates voter resentment of liquor scandals was directed at Payne personally. Top men in Pentagon put no stock in rumors)that Chinese Communists may declare war on United States, Story—originating in Engfand—says Chinese Reds, pressured by Moscow, hope to throw scare into Western Europe. Formal war declaration would be accompanied by Red propaganda drive to convince Europeans U. 8. is so involved in" Far East it ¢- 1't meet other commitments. : Pentagon says. Chinese ‘declaration of war would be one way to solve some of our problems. It would open way for us to bomb China, blockade’ her coasts. China, they think, could do little more to hurt us than she’s doing now, Unless, of course, Russia came in with her, Pentagon thinks that's out of question fore 1954.
Fear Atomic ‘Leak’
OUR POLICY of tight atomic secrecy is on way out. Military is now convinced
‘we should share information
with out Allies. Change won't come at once, but Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Omar Bradley, just back from Europe, now says U. 8. must give atomic warfare secrets to our Allies sooner or later. Some civilians in our atomic enterprise * have argued for years, that tight secrecy, clamped on by McMahon Act when civilians took over the nuclear project, has hurt, not helped. They haven't been able do convince Congress. But new military pressure should lead to act’s amendment. State Department announce-
~ ‘ment of agreement with Spain
on location of air and naval
rine planes and pilots has increased 75 per cent in last few
“months.
Steel companies just recovering from long strike of CIO United Steelworkers want next Congress to answer this question: “How can nation’s economy be protected from the damaging power of industrywide labor monopoly?” Congress is likely to try. But it’s also likely to look at charges that steel industry has been aiding and abetting another powerful union—United Mine Workers.
- Victory for Lewis
AGREEMENT ‘JUST reached with John L. Lewis’ Miners touched off latest controversy. Bituminous. Coal Operators Association, which
Includes “captive” coal mines
owned by the steel industry, suddenly signed up with Lewis, gave him a bigger gain than steel’ union won—also bigger gain than Wage Stabilization Board ceilings called for. Other coal operators don’t like it. They're charging steel companies forced it, though there was enough coal above ground to last through strike of some weeks. Under ordinary circumstances, Alger Hiss would be pretty sure of parole this fall, federal official says. He’s eligible Nov. 22. He’s been model prisoner, “cheerful and co-op-erative.” They think he could get work in a law office, though he’s been disbarred. But third factor considered by parole officials is whether prisoner will be menace to society if he’s released. In Hiss case, “menace to society” decision” will turn on the Communist’ ange.
Ordered Purged
NAGUIB'S GOVER T faces important new test in continued defiance of old guard WAFDists. WAFD was ordered purged, reorganized, with someone other than ailing Mustafa El Nahas at its helm. But Nahas refuses to be purged and other members say, “no Nahas, no WAFD.” Observers think Naguib can handle problem. But they say it'll take gome doing to keep Nahas from becoming martyr, or to keep from destroying usefulness of reformed WAFD, which still hias hold on many Egvptians, Politicians differ as to whether barnstorming by air is effective—though presidential candidates this year are using airplanes more than ever, Crowds don’t gather at ajrports as they do at railro stations. And they give lit chance for candidate to glad. hand local big wheels. No time for rest between’ stops, either—or for analyzing the last stop, getting ready for next one.

Nixon Case Brings Gripe From British MPs Who Have to Pay for Help Out of $2800 Wage
Compiled by the Wire Services The Nixon story has brought
home to some British politicians how much worse off they are financially than their
American opposite numbers. William McGaffin, Times special correspondent, reports from there a member of Parliament gets a salary of $2800 a year. Out of that he has to pay for secretarial assistance, postage and stationery. As a consequence most MPs have to combine another job with membership in Commons as it is practically impossible to live on an MP salary alone, (U. 8. Senators and Representafives get a basic salary of $12,500 with $2500 expense money, which is tax exempt.) One MP, Socialist Michael Foot, has just launched a oneman campaign for more pay after reading about the salaries of American Senators and Congressmen, which, he says, make his mouth water, Widely Played “One thousand pounds a year is not enough,” Mr. Foot says in an article in the Laborite London Daily Herald.
He argues that there is”.
danger under the present system of Parliament becoming a “preserve for the well to do.” “Americans no doubt have gone much too far/in the opposite direction but so far as I can discover there is not a free parliament in the world which pays its MPs worse than Britain,” he says. The Nixon story has been widely played in the British press and has aroused considerable comment. The Liberal London News Chronicle's correspondent in America cabled after Mr. Nixon’s broadcast: “There may be doubts after further reflection whether he answered all the relevant questions about the fund. What happened last night was that an emotional appeal young man who was ready to stand and fight produced in the mercurial American electorate an emotional response.” ‘Effective Theater’ The London Daily Telegraph correspondent said Mr. Nixon's explanation was a “clever mixture of a good lawyer's brief and effective ‘theater’” and noted that it had won over most doubters. The Daily Herald correspondent cabled: “Even the General’s (Eisenhower’s) close associates fear that he may have lost his grip on the campaign and that Taft's men of the Re-

" The cruiser has no permanent crew, but is manned by Williamsburg crewmen when it is used.

“His belated indorsement of

Such a course can hardly help his cause.” On the other hand, the Conservative Daily Telegraph thinks Mr. Nixon and Ike “handled what might have been a most damaging situation with outstanding skill and verve. To this extent it is even possible that their position may have been strengthened rather than weakened.

Council of Europe THE Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe overwhelmingly indorsed a demand that all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization be defended in the event of an attack by Russia. The move clashed directly with high military planners who believe any defense against the bigger Russian armies on a fixed “line” would be as disastrous for the West as France's attempt to hold the Maginot Line early in World War II. The assembly adopted the resolution by a vote of 67 to two.

BIG ISSUE in City Hall these days is effort of city fathers to ban trucks loaded with explosives from running through city streets. Success of such efforts probably will be postponed until far future when Ind. 100 is completed as a complete bypass around Indianapolis. Proposed 20 years ago, the bypass now is less than ‘half completed. Nothing yet done to the south or west. Trucks coming or going in those directions must pass through the city, whether they want to do 80 or not. Lack of adequate bypass roads has led Interstate Commerce Commission to designate truck routes through eity.
