Stevenson Makes
War Crisis a Major
Campaign Issue
By the Associated Press
Adlai Stevenson yesterday called
the Middle East crisis a “shatter
ing diplomatic disaster” for the
United States. He pressed for free
time on nationwide radio and TV
to reply to Eisenhower’s talk of
Wednesday night.
Shortly before Eisenhower went
on the air Wednesday from his
White House office, Stevenson an
nounced in New York that he had
sent the President a telegram ex
pressing hope that “you will not
commit us to any precipitate mili
tary action” in the Middle East.
James C. Hagerty, Eisenhower’s
press secretary, said that as of the
time the President began his TV
radio speech Eisenhower had not
t seen Stevenson’s telegram.
I Later, in Pittsburgh, Stevenson
told a rally he was glad Eisen
hower "assured us that he has no
present intention of calling Con
gress into special session or in
volving the U.S. in these hostili
ties.”
Saying he was speaking as the
“leader of the Democratic Party,”
Stevenson asked support for ef
forts “to end the war between
Egypt and Israel.”
But, Stevenson continued. “I
cannot promise to support or re
spect a foreign policy that has
bluffed and blundered the United
States into a shattering diplomatic
disaster.”
He said Eisenhower Adminis
tration policies have “brought the
whole world to the brink of an
other war.”
