Eisenhower Campaign Sidetracked;
Stevenson Hits GOP Foreign Policy
By the Associated Press
The flaming Middle East flick
ered over the U.S. political scene
Saturday, even as it sidetracked
President Eisenhower for the rest
of the campaign.
Adlai E. Stevenson kept the
war in Egypt in the forefront of
campaign controversy Saturday
with a program of his own for
ending the hostilities.
He came back to Illinois for
what he hoped would be the big
gest political rally of his career in
Chicago Stadium Saturday night.
Vote of Confidence
Vice president Nixon said the
U.N. has given the Middle East
policies of the Eisenhower Ad
ministration “a worldwide vote of
confidence by approving the Unit
ed States cease-fire resolution by
64 to 5.
Nixon, who ended his campaign
tour Saturday, told the nation
Friday night the United Nations
action had given “the lie” to what
he termed a “preposterous” charge
by Adlai Stevenson that the Unit
ed States “is standing alone in an
unfriendly world.”
Campaign Plans Dropped
Eisenhower remained at his
White House desk Saturday to
deal with the confused situation
overseas. He had already dropped
plans for any more campaign
speeches before tomorrow’s elec
tion.
Stevenson, speaking from De
troi., listed his specific recom
mendations for bringing peace in
the Middle East and continued his
biting criticism of Eisenhower’s
leadership in the field of foreign
policy. ,
"Reputation for Unreliability"
The administration, he said,
“has acquired for itself ... a
reputation for unreliability—
wrhich is about as damaging a
reputation as a great power can
have.” He said this “has led di
rectly to the present catastrophe
and the breakdown of the West
ern alliance.”
Nixon, in a nationwide radio
TV broadcast from Hershey, Pa.,
said Stevenson’s claim that the
Western alliance is broken as a
result of British-French-Israeli
moves against Egypt “is a danger
ous and irresponsible misrepre
sentation of fact.”
Stevenson's Plan for Peace
Stevenson’s plan for peace
called for maintaining the 'secur
ity of Israel’s borders and halting
provocations by Arab nations. He
said ship passage thru the Suez
Canal should be “a matter of
international concern,” with no
single person or nation wielding
absolute power over it.
He also called for an all-out
attack on “the problem of reset
tling the 900,000 Arab refugees
who now live in misery and hope
lessness,” and development of a
program with other nations “to
improve economic conditions in
the Middle East.”
Nixon Challenge* S!even*on
Nixon .had challenged Steven
son in his own speech Friday—
as he had done several tiroes in
the past week—to say “what he
believps we should do that we are
not doing.”
Stevenson’s running mate, Sen.
Estes Kefauver, campaigned Fri
day across parts of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, repeating the Dem
ocratic theme that U.S. policies
helped bring on the Middle East
crisis and alienate Britain and
France.
At La Crosse, Wis., Sen. Ke
fauver Saturday charged the
Eisenhower ■ Administration with
favoring big business interests.”
Best Dam Sites
“The favored big business in
terests can have anything they
j want, from oil reserves or the
| best dam sites to a waiver of the
i government's claims and rights to
assets of a storage company in
trouble on its obligations to the
government.” Kefauver said.
In Los Angeles, Senate minor
ity leader Knowland said Steven
son “pours gasoline on the fires”
in the Middle East and plays poli
tics “with our security” in his
attacks on the administration.
In Washington, six Democratic
members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee said “trag
ically misconceived and ill-exe
cuted” administration policies had
helped touch off the Middle East
crisis.
SO LITTLE TIME
“Our [defense] programs must
; meet the needs of today. To build
less would expose the nation to
agression. To build excessively
under the influence of fear, could
defeat our purposes and impair or
destroy the very freedom and
economic system our military de
fenses are designed to protect.” '
—President Dwight D.
Eisenhower
