ABOARD EISENHOWER SPECIAL There is nothing funny
about the issues of the presidential campaign, Gen. Dwight 13.
Eisenhower said Monday. Addressing an audience at Port Wayne,
lnd., the Republican candidate condemned the attitude presented
by Gov. Adlai Stevenson in discussing GOP attitudes to political
problems.
Fort WTayne was the first, stop on the general's 12-day cam
paign tour of the Midwest. Eisenhower will visit Illinois, Minne
sota, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, W:est Virginia, North Caro
lina, Virginia, Indiana, Nebraska, and Maryland before returning
to New York City.
SPRINGITELD, ILL. Eisenhower's "great crusade" has "been
taken over and converted "by Sen. Robert Tuft into -"the great sur
render." Tliis statement by Gov. Stevenson highlighted the Democratic
nominee's first news conference since Aug. 21. He invited all Re
publicans who lost faith after the conference between Taft and
Eisenhower to join the Democrats.
Other highlights in Stevenson's statements were:
1. He has no intention of endorsing all Democratic candidates.
2. He will not name an .ambassador to the Vatican.
3. He saw the possibility of the reduction of federal spending
and taxes in 1953.
4. He thought the division within the Democratic party "be
tween the North and the South not great enough to he politically
significant.
5. He thought labor leadership was satisfied with his stands.
WASHINGTON Sen. Wayne Morse (Rep.-Ore:) has refused
to appear with Eisenhower at the AJX convention until he knows
what the general will tell the labor organization.
The Oregon senator, often termed a renegade Republican, said
he could not endorse the speech if Eisenhower takes the stand that
the "basic principles" of the Taft-Hartley act Should not he
changed. Morse has said that he wants to re-write the controversial
law.
However, he has not repudiated Eisenhower's candidacy and
will not do so unless the general "repudiates the sound Republi
canism which the .constitutional liberals in the Republican party
have been fighting for."
NEW YORK The Taft-Hartley law was "bitterly attacked t
the opening of the 71st convention of the ATL by union president
'William Green.
The ATL executive council filed report Which termed the
law a "dismal failure" and denounced the wage-price control pro
gram. The delegates to the convention are expected to vote da favor
of supporting Stevenson lor president.
LINCOLN Polio reports revealed that Lancaster County rates
second in the nation among counties its size for number of polio
cases. Number ,one county is Woodbury County, la, where Bioux
City is located.
Nebraska still ranks first in the nation lor number of polio
cases in comparison to the population. Three more deaths were re
