Sen. Kennedy Had
Some Difficulty
Before Speech
PITTSBURGH, OB—Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass> had a little
difficulty here last night before
delivering the address at a non
partisan dinner sponsored toy the
Knights of Columbus.
The dinner had to be held up
until Kennedy could find his suit
case*—and the tuxedo it contained.
It had been misplaced at the
airport.
One of the K. of C. officials
then referred to him as “Senator
Wagner” of New York. He appar
ently was referring to Mayor
Wagner of New York City, who is
the Democratic nominee for sena
tor in New York State.
Then it came the turn of Mayor
David Lawrence of Pittsburgh to

formally introduce Kennedy. It
was Lawrence who helped Sen.
Estes Kefauver win the Demo
cratic nomination for vice presi
dent against Kennedy at the Chi
cago convention.
With a big smile, Lawrence in
troduced Kennedy as “Senator
John Fitzgerald!”
By this time the crowd was
roaring with laughter. Hurriedly,
Lawrence said he had been think
ing of Kennedy’s grandfather,
former Boston Mayor John Fitz
gerald. Lawrence then praised
Kennedy highly and the young
Massachusetts senator had to rap
for order after he began his
speech by saying:
"If I only could have got him
(Lawrence) to say that in Chi
cago.”

Eisenhower Refutes Stevenson’s Charges He Is Not
Fully in Charge of His Party or the Country
By the Associated Press
Democrats charged Friday that
President Eisenhower is not lead
ing his party or the country, but
Eisenhower told the nation via
television he is fully in charge of
his administration.
Adlai Stevenson said Friday
night President Eisenhower is
"either unwilling or unable” to
lead the Republican Party. In
consequence, Stevenson contin
ued, national policy “has become
stalled on dead center.” He said
Vice President Nixon is the par
ty’s “new head.”
Harry S. Trumap said “the na
tion can’t get by with a part-time
President.” Truman predicted a
depression if Republicans win the
Nov. 6 election.
President Eisenhower, asked di
rectly in a nationally televised
question and answer session about
this recurring Democratic accusa
tion, replied:
"If I am not running the execu
tive part of this government, then
I am the man that is mostly fooled
in this nation.”
Stevenson, pushing his cam
paign in California, told a San
Diego audience:
“Grim and pressing ' problems
accumulate. But our federal gov
ernment, the instrument of the
people, has stopped thinking,
stopped feeling, stopped caring
and stopped acting.”
Stevenson also said he would
have “more to say” tonight about
his hotly attacked proposals to
stop H-bomb tests.
Eisenhower, Nixon and others
have criticized Stevenson’s stand.
Eisenhower has called the pro
posal a “theatrical gesture.”
Earlier Friday, Stevenson had
charged Eisenhower has misrep
resented him by saying Stevenson
wants to stop testing atomic
weapons. Stevenson said he was
concerned only with “hydrogen
weapons.”
Eisenhower’s statement that he
is firmly in charge came in an un
usual mass TV interview, with
questions put by a variety of ad
ministration supporters. Aides
said the show was entirely unre
hearsed.
During the exchange, Eisen- |
hower declared himself against
uncontrolled “big business,” but
upheld his policy of using suc
cessful businessmen in key gov
ernment posts.
i He asked who the public would
prefer in charge of public busi
ness, “some failure that never did
anything, or a successful business
' man?”
j Stevenson, climaxing a hard
1 drive for California’s 32 electoral
votes, told the San Diego rally
Eisenhower is “doing quite a bit
of traveling.” He said Republi
cans earlier were “saying smugly
that five or six television speeches
would take care of the campaign.”
The White House Friday an
nounced two more campaign
speeches by Eisenhower—a major
radio-TV address Oct. 25 from
New York and an airport talk at
Denver Oct. 19.
Truman ended a busy day of
campaigning in Minnesota Friday
night with a speech in Marshall.
“The farmer can have peace and
prosperity,” Truman said, “and
under Stevenson and Kefauver
they will have both."
Nixon, in Negaunee, Mich., Fri
day night, said labor realizes “it
never had it so good” as it does
now.
Sen. Kefauver was forced to
cancel four speeches in Kentucky
Saturday because of a sore throat.
Armed Forces Will
Need $2 Billion
More Next Year
WASHINGTON, <*—Secretary
of Defense Wilson says the armed
forces may be reduced a little in
size next year but will need near
ly $2 billion more than this year.
Wilson indicated at a news con
ference Friday that the number
of men in uniform next year may
be from 100,000 to 168,000 below
the present strength of 2,800,000
men.
But defense spending is expect
ed to increase 4 to 6 percent, in
the range of from $1% to $2 bil
lion, over the present $36V4 bil
lion rate, he added. The increase
will be “certainly less than 10
percent,” he said.
Asked whether the present Air
Force goal of 137 wings by next
June 30 will be reduced, he re
plied: “I don’t think anybody
knows that at the moment.”
Without mentioning the Demo
cratic presidential nominee by
name, Wilson criticized sugges
tions toy Adlai E. Stevenson that
this country take the lead in seek
ing to halt H-bomb tests if other
atomic powers agree, and that the
possibility of ending the draft
may be approaching.
“I think that both these things
are irresponsible approaches to
some very practical and realistic
matters,” Wilson replied to a
question.
Wilson said atomic weapons
control has been discussed at high
levels and “there is nothing on a
unilateral basis that we can safe
ly do that will affect this busi
ness.”

Lucky Hunter Gets
Two Deer With One Shot
KETCHIKAN, (M—Jack West
fall is back in town from a hunt
ing trip with a story that reaches
into the realm of the impossible,
but his wife is along to testify to
its truth.
Westfall brought down two
deer with one shot. It happened
last week when the Westfalls
were hunting in Vixen Inlet about
49 miles from Ketchikan.
Westfall said he saw the two
bucks approaching from opposite
directions and lay in wait until
they both came up broadside,
then let go with a shot. It caught
the closest deer a fatal hit thru
the throat and sped on to pene
trate clearly thru the head of the
second deer.
