Adlai Says Ike Has Altered
His Own Principles Under
“Old Guard” Pressure
(By the Associated Press)
Gov. Adlai Stevenson accused
the Republicans of dodging major
issues and campaigning with “slo
gans, emotion and confetti” as
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower charged
the Truman administration with
making a “power-hungry” grab
at state rights.
Stevenson, in a speech prepared
for delivery at Casper, Wyo., said
“old guard reactionaries” have
“induced or forced the general
to alter his own positive princi
ples and to adopt . . . views that
savor more of isolation and re
treat than security and confi
dence.”
Eisenhower, 62 years old Tues
day, moved his campaign into
Texas from New Orleans where
throngs cheered his stand for state
ownership of oil-rich submerged
coastal lands, and howled approv
al of his jabs at President Truman
and his leadership.
Senator Richard Nixon, the
GOP vice presidential nominee,
delivered a major attack on Stev
enson in New York Monday night,
saying he was disqualified for the
presidency because of his record
on Communism. Nixon said the
Democratic standard bearer “has
failed to recognize the threat” the
Reds present to this nation. He
campaigned in Michigan Tuesday.

Ike Makes Hit in South
With States’ Rights Issue
(By ike Associated Pkiss*
Eisenhower touched off his
Texas tour yesterday with a
speech prepared for delivery in
Houston calling the administra
tion a “week-kneed and soft-head
ed” regime trying to grab control
of states’ rights.
He used such words as “power
mongers” and “reckless drivers”
ana “discredited” in speaking of
Truman leadership, and carried
on with attack so popular in coast
al oil states: that the federal gov
ernment is trying to take away
control rights and revenue of sub
merged oil lands.
It was an attack that drew a
roaring response in New Orleans
Monda y,. when the general
launched his fourth thrust into
Dixie in an effort to win electoral
votes from the solid South.
An estimated 140,000 persons
saw him in New Orleans, and re
porters said the atmosphere was
almost like that of the city’s
famed Mardi Gras—swirling con
fetti, torchlights, banners, an or
chestra playing Dixieland jazz,
even a fioat with a huge paper
mache birthday cake and candles.
(Tuesday was Eisenhower's 62nd
birthday.)
Four days before, an estimated
50,000 turned out to see and hear
Stevenson.
Rye will withstand cold weather
better than wheat when it is
grown and produces more bodily
warmth when eaten.
