WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.

In a campaign document soon to be furnished to ail Democratic candidates, the Democrats also assailed the voting record of Republicans on veterans’ legislation. The document contends that the majority party had curtailed some veterans benefits and been barred only by Democratic opposition from trimming oth°rs. Republican spokesmen rejected the charges.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept 9 - (UP) — Adlai E. Stevenson ripped into the Eisenhower administration's policies—foreign and domestic Wednesday night, • ven paraphrasing Shakespeare, in the Democrats’ opening drive to regain control of Congress. The 1952 presidential aspirant, told 3,000 guests at a $100 a plate dinner here that the Republicans have given the nation slogan policies instead of foreign policies “Dulles sound and Knowland fury, signifying nothing and accomplishing less." Thf* quote is a paraphrase of Macbeth's famous line that life. . “Is a tale told by an idiot, full of ound and fury, signifying nothing.” Stevenson said the most important part of the Democratic party's job this fall is to "give direction again to a foreign policy which wallows aimlessly and dangerously while a bunch of bickering helmsmen quarrel at the wheel I mean the full time and part time secretaries of state.”
