Stevenson and Nixon Bring Up
Issue of Eisenhower’s Leadership
<By the Associated Press'
Adlai Stevenson has accused
President Eisenhower of “weak
leadership.” But Vice President
Nixon has said Stevenson “just
Isn’t in the same league” with
Eisenhower as a world leader.
Both men brought up the lead
ership issue Wednesday in rival
campaign speeches delivered a
few miles and a short time apart.
Stevenson, the Democratic presi
dential candidate, spoke in Kan
sas City, Mo., while Republican
Nixon addressed a meeting in
Kansas City, Kan.
Meanwhile, the White House
let out word that Eisenhower is
ready to broaden his personal re
election effort beyond the five or
six major radio-TV speeches orig
inally planned.
Democratic-Republican battling
over the farm issue continued in
the wake of Eisenhower’s Tues
day night speech in which he la
beled as “mockery and deceit” a
Democratic proposal to return to
high, rigid proce supports for ba
sic crops.
In speaking of what he said
was a “need for a strong presi
dency,” Stevenson said he was
not talking about the President’s
health, adding:
“I am talking about the concep
tion if the presidency that Mr.
Eisenhower has announced pub
licly and followed in practice . . .
the difference between direction
by a few strong men who serve
the interest of the few most of
the time and firm direction which
serves all the people all the time.”
Stevenson referred to what he
termed Eisenhower’s "consistent
rejection of the positive responsi
bilities of leadership,” adding that
this began at Eisenhower’s in
auguration.
Nixon said Stevenson “certain
ly put his foot in his mouth when
he claimed in Florida Wednesday
that President Eisenhower had
followed a policy of appease
ment.”
In a Miami, Fla., speech Tues
day night, Stevenson said the
Eisenhower Administration chose
to “appease” Juan Peron when
Peron was dictator of Argentina.
Peron has been deposed and is
living in exile.
Nixon declared that Eisenhow
er “has never in his military or
political career engaged in ap
peasement of any aggressor and
he isn’t going to start doing so
now . . .”
“When it comes to the qualifi
cations for leading the United
States internationall,” Nixon said,
“Mr. Stevenson just isn’t in the
same league with the man who is
recognized everywhere as the
outstanding leader of the tree
world today."
The Mystery of the
Vanishing Door Baffles
Anchorage Police
ANCHORAGE, l>P>—'The door
that wasn’t there is here again
today after developing a great
big new pane on its center.
The cops, from whose head
quarters the door was lifted at
9 a.m. Wednesday, developed a
pain of their own—in the neck—
trying to explain what happened.
The door, from the front en
trance, was found back in place
about 4 p.m. No one will admit
seeing it depart or return. But it
was gone for seven drafty hours.
Now it has a new plate of glass
in it instead of the patched up,
cracked, pre-disappearance num
ber. And everyone except some
chilblained cops seems happy.

Assassination Try
On Vice President
Of S. Korea Fails
SEOUL, UP—Chang Myun, Pres
ident Syngman Rhee’s outspoken
opposition vice president, was
shot and wounded in the hand
today as he stepped from the
stage of a political convention.
The attempted assassination
came less than 24 hours after the
Rhee-dominated National Assem
bly voted 86-6 to warn Chang
against continuing his criticism
of the government.
Chang, a Roman Catholic and a
former ambassador to the United
States, has been in off-and-on
seclusion since he was chosen
vice president May 15 after a tur
bulent election campaign. The
candidate of the opposition Demo
cratic Party, he decisively de
feated Rhee’s running mate.
The assassin, identified as Kin
Sang Poon, 28, fired two shots as
Chang stepped to the floor after
addressing a Democratic Party
convention. One bullet went thru
the palm of Chang’s left hand.
Chang, after treatment, shut
himself up in his home and re
fused -to see newsmen.
Rhee expressed surprise and
regret at the attack on his poli
tical enemy knd relief that the
wound was slight. Rhee promised
the arrest and strict punishment
of anyone connected with the at
tempted assassination.
Police said Kin Poon, a veteran
of the Korean War, admitted the
I assassination attempt and said in
; explanation: “I thought he would
do a fair job for the nation, but
he was trying to fraternize with
Japan, which is my enemy."
Chang, in one recent statement,
said it was time for Korea to es
tablish diplomatic relations with
Japan, which occupied Korea for j
years before World War II.
