Army’s Goat, Navy’s Mules
Under Special Guard As
Big Game Approaches
ANNAPOLIS, Md., UP) — The
Navy’s goat, like the Army’s
mules, was under special guard
Tuesday to prevent a repeat of
his kidnaping as the Saturday
clash between the two service
academies drew near.
Billy XII, Navy’s mascot, was
returned here from West Point
Monday night less than 24 hours
after the blue Angora goat showed
up at a cadet meal formation Sun
day night.
There were indications the or
der for Billy’s return to the Naval
Academy came from the Depart
ment of Defense or perhaps even
the White House.
Bernard Baruch, elder states
man, who was visiting West Point
when Billy was unveiled there,
carried a report of the affair to
President Eisenhower in Wash
ington.
Stevenson Blasts GOP Program
Of ‘Indiement By Suspicion’
ATLANTA, Ga., (£> — Former3
Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illinois,
titular head of the Democratic
Party, Tuesday blasted what he
called the Republican program of
“indictment by suspicion, of con
viction by accusation.”
“General Eisenhower promised
the people a new morality, but his
lieutenants have chosen their wea
pons without regard for their
effect,” Stevenson declared. “They
have taken McCarthyisip away
from McCarthy. What an end to
the Great Crusade.”
The Democratic presidential
nominee of 1952, in a speech pre
pared for delivery before the
Georgia legislature, advocated dis
closing the mistakes and failures
of the past and rooting out agents
of Communism.
“But for the love of heaven,”
Stevenson pleaded, “let us do it
with dignity, objectivity and jus
tice, and with some better motive
than partisan strife that can only
seriously weaken the United
States. . .
“No one wins this way. Sus
picion of past Democratic mis
takes is balanced by suspicion of
present Republican motives. The
people are confused, confidence
in both parties undermined, the
nation injured.
“The issue isn’t which party de
tests Communism most, but hcrw
to deal with the serious problem
of espionage in our government.
And it won’t be resolved to the
nation’s advantage by shouting
matches and degrading circuses
of political profit.”
Stevenson referred to former
President Truman as the individ
ual “who has done more than any
living man to check the forward
thrust of Communism,” and he
rapped those whose “words imply
disloyalty.”
