Stevenson’s First Act as President
Would Be to Get Together With
Britain and Russia to Ban H - Bomb
By the Associated Press <
President Eisenhower began his
longest tour of the current presi
dential campaign yesterday, per
haps considering a reply to Adlai
Stevenson’s latest assault on the
administration's H-bomb policies.
Stevenson told a nationwide
TV audience Monday night the
the first thing he would do if
elected President would be to get
together with Russia and Britain
on banning further testing of nu
clear super-bomb^.
The Democratic candidate de
nied claims of Eisenhower and
other OOP leaders that his pro
posals for seeking an end to H
bomb tests threaten U.S. security.
‘Most Dreadful Poison'
Stevenson said the tests unleash
“the most dreadful poison in the
world,” (the atomic fallout) and
“may cause the human race un
measured damage.” A way must
be found to end “this deadly dead
lock,” he said.
Eisenhower’s campaign flight is
a five-day vote-seeking foray, ex
panded Monday to include Cali
fornia. The 5,850-mile itinerary
calls for eight speeches in five
western states.
Asks 'Honest Judgment'
In filmed remarks, nationally
telecast last night, Eisenhower j
made another campaign appeal,
-asking voters to make their choice j
on the basis of an “honest judg-1
ment” of the administration rec
ord.
Eisenhower said at a recent
press conference he had said his
“last word* on Stevenson’s pro
posals the military draft might
be ended in the foreseeable future
when national security permits,
and that an effort be made to
halt H-bomb testing.
Keeping the Record Straight
But James Hagerty, the Presi
dent’s press secretary, said Mon
day Eisenhower may have more
to say on the subject anyway.
“I am sure,” Hagerty said, “that
if misstatements are made, par
ticularly in connection with test
ing, the President will feel he
has a duty to keep the record
straight.”
Assailing Eisenhower’s views
Monday night, Stevenson said a
world in grave danger cannot af
ford a “defeatist” approach and
“we canot brush the hydrogen
bomb under the rug . . . this is
one subject on which there can
not be, there must not be, any
last word.”
Criticisms Answered
Taking issue point by point
with criticisms by Eisenhower
and other administration spokes
men, Stevenson said:
“It is said that other countries
might get the jump on us. Thej
President implied that we would,
stop our research while others i
continued theirs. But I have made
no such suggestion, and obviously i
►
we should not stop our research.
We should prepare ourselves so
that if another country violated
the agreement, we could promptly
resume our testing program . . .
‘A Waite of Money'
“The President even implied
that the proposal would somehow
reduce or curtail our power to de
fend ourselves. It would not. We
would give up none of our stock
' pile. We would even add to it, as
needed, from current production.
We could continue to test smaller
nuclear weapons. We should con
tinue our research and develop
ment work on guided missiles,
for the defense of our cities and
for use in the field.”
Eisenhower said last April 25,
four days after Stevenson first
raised the issue, “research with
out test is perfectly useless, a
waste of money.”
• Third Party
Meanwhile, in Richmond, Va.,
Monday night, shelter was of
fered “for the orphaned members
of both parties.”
T. Coleman Andrews, chief tax
collector for the Eisenhower Ad
ministration for three years, for
mally accepted third party presi
dential nomination from a group
of states rights - tax reform ad
herents. Andrews and his running
mate, former Rep. Thomas H.
Werdel of California, are on the
same ballots in 14 states, under
various party labels.
Andrews told 3,000 enthusiastic
supporters he didn’t know how
much his candidacy would detract
from Eisenhower or Stevenson,
but that it doesn’t matter, and
that “we would have a continua
tion of socialistic government” no
matter which of the two major
parties wins.

Dulles Assures U.S. Aid to Any j
Victim of Aggression in Middle East
WASHINGTON, UPC-Secretary*
of State Dulles emphatically re
asserted yesterday that the Unit
ed States would give aid within j
constitutional limits to any victim
of aggression in the crisis-ridden
Middle East.
The question of the U.S. posi
tion was raised at a news confer
ence in connection with reports
of impending Iraqi troop move
ments into Jordan and consequent
Iraeli nervousness about possible
new fighting in the area.
Syrian arms—which Dulles said
could be Soviet or Western in or
igin—are already moving into
Jordan.
Arab sources have said, and
American officials support the
explanation, that Jordan asked
Iraqi troops to stabilize the gov
ernment of King Hussein against
collapse.
Israel took the position, how
ever, that entry of Iraqi troops
would violate the 1949 Palestine
armistice and could lead to war.
On other matters:
1. In a statement, Dulles said
that last week’s U. N. Security
Council discussion of the Suez
Canal controversy had resulted in
“progress toward achieving a just
and peaceful solution of the Suez
crisis.”
2. Dulles said he must reserve
the right to edit the transcript of
his news conferences, even to the
extent of changing the substance
of what he said if, following a •
conference, he finds he has blun
dered in a manner which might
jeopardize U.S. foreign relations.
He took this position in response
to reporters’ questioning about
past changes.
3. Dulles expressed confidence,
in the face of criticism from Dem
ocratic candidate Adlai Steven

homa’s ninth governor who cam
paigned unsuccessfully for the
Democratic presidential nomina

The 86-year-old cigar-chewing
pioneer, framer of the young
state’s constitution, died in a coma
after a five-day battle against
double pneumonia and the after
effects of a stroke.
Alfalfa Bill had been blind and
deaf for more than a year but
before becoming infirm he was
the Sooner State’s most colorful

son, that the Eisenhower Admin
istration will find a way to bring
the hydrogen bomb under effec
tive control if such a way exists.
Implying that Stevenson has i
not fully understood what he was
talking about in pressing for an I
end of H-bomb tests, Dulles said
he doubted whether anyone not
fully acquainted with the details
of the problem could know what
the best possible solution is.
Wise men make proverbs, but
fools repeat ’em.
