Eisenhower flew back to New York tonight, in prepara tion for tomorrow’s address to the AFL convention. In doing so he interrupted a 12-day tour which today brought him a tri umphal ticker-tape shower in St. Paul and Minneapolis. , His' chartered plane landed at La Guardia Airport at 8:20 p.m. Blizzards of ticker tape and confetti showered upon Eisenhow er during his visit to the Twin Cities. Police estimated more than 300,- 000 persons lined the streets and hung out of windows to see the tan suit-clad •-enefal, waving and smiling, get one of the biggest re ceptions a Republican ever re ceived in the normally Democrat ic Twin Cities. 'Frittered Away' Peace The Republican presid e n t i a 1 nominee wound up two days of whistle stop campaigning in In diana, Illinois and minnesota by telling a crowd of 12,000 persons at the state capitol in St. Paul that he is convinced that people want a change in administrations in Washington. Eisenhower told the applauding Capitol Plaza crowd he had found administration “fumbling” on for eign affairs the chief concern of the people he met at the “whistle stops.” He accused the Democrat ic administration of “frittering away” the peace gained on the battlefields. Mamie Cheered The general’s party made a brief stop at the University of Minnesota, where Eisenhower met members of the Minnesota football team and chatted with Athletic Director Ike Armstrong and Head Coach Wes Fesler. Eisenhower’s wife, Mamie, was given as big a cheer as her famed husband when she was intro duced to the crowd in St. Paul. One of the highlights of his tour today was a football-style wel come given him by students at the Carleton. College Stadium at Northfield. A crowd of 9000 college stu dents packing nearly, every seat of the stadium gave Eisenhower a vociferous welcome led by cheerleaders. 'lke' Backers Anti-Labor, Truman Cautions AFL NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (TP) —President Truman told the AFL today that Dwight D. Eisenhower is backing “the most anti-labor platform . . . submitted to the country in at least 16 years.” In a message read to the 71st American Federation of Labor Convention, Truman said “plans are afoot in Wall Street” in the event of a GOP victory this year to “make the Taft-Hartley law even more oppressive and unfair than it is at present.” Truman claimed that “a defin ite plot was hatched at the close of the war to smash . . . our trade union movement in a period of postwar reaction.” He called the Taft-Hartley law ■—passed over his veto—only a first step in “the repeal of most of the New Deal legislation.” Then, without mentioning Ei senhower by name, the President said: “It appears that the Republican candidate has now made his peace DRY CLEANING SPECIAL 3 GARMENTS BEAUTIFULLY GLEANED FOR THE FRIGE OF 2! w.L, FROMM'S Political News Wednesday, Sept. 17 By the Associated Press Gen.

Iran Backs Mossadegh's Oil Policy TEHRAN, Iran, Sept. 16 (IP)— Iran’s lower house of Parliament today gave a 60-0 vote of confi dence in Premier Mohammed Mossadegh’s entire oil policy, in cluding his threat of a possible break in diplomatic relations with Britain. v The only reservation concerned one of Mossadegh’s counter-pro posals, which the Majlis found so involved referred it to the par liamentary joint oil board for study. Two conciliatory points stood out in a long statement of Mossa degh, read to the Majlis by a deputy: _ 1. Mossadegh himself sought to keep' the door open to negotiations by declaring, “with these clear proposals and good intentions of both parties, I hope the question of oil will be settled at the ear liest date.” 2. The Premier offered to let the World Court settle the ques tion of compensation to the Brit ish-o wn e d Anglo-Iranian Oil Company AIOC for its national ized oil properties, reversing his statement at a news conference on Sept. 8 that only Iranian courts were competent. with the author of the Taft-Hart ley law.” His attack on Taft-Hartley in his message to the AFL conven tion fell on fertile ground. Speak er after speaker yesterday and today mounted the convention rostrum to lambast the Taf t- Hartley law and demand its re peal. Secretary of Labor Maurice To bin joined in today with the claim that Taft-Hartley means slow death for the labor move ment. Another blast came from Federal Security Administrator Oscar Ewing. ■ THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Fairchild Sees Wisconsin Win Over McCarthy SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 16 (IP) Thomas Fairchild, GOP Sen. Jos eph R .McCarthy’'- Democratic op ponent in the Wisconsin U.S. Sen ate race, said today he has “a very good fighting chance” to de feat McCarthy in November. Fairchild made the statement to newsmen after conferring with Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee. Fairchild declined to say wheth er Stevenson shared his optimism. He said Stevenson would have to speak for himself on that. McCarthy, whose Communist in-government charges have stir red a storm of controversy, won renorhination overwhelmingly in last week’s Wisconsin primary. Fairchild told a hews confer ence he had invited Stevenson to campagin in Wisconsin. Did that mean, a reporter asked, that Fairchild came away hope ful that Stevenson would go into the state. “That is a good interpretation,” he replied with a grin. Before meeting with Fairchild, Stevenson conferred with: 1. Laurence F. Lee, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who said he told the Illinois gov ernor the nation’s businessmen are worried about big-scale fed eral spending and want it cut substantially. 2. Frank G. Clement, 32-year old Democratic nominee for gov ernor of Tennessee. He said not all Southerners agree with Stev enson on such issues as civil rights, but that the presidential candidate is “a man of honor and integrity” and predicted he will carry Tennessee. And, Clement added, “I assume and hope the other states in the South will go Democratic.” 3 Fugitives Sought in Scranton Area SCRANTON, Pa., Sept.. 16 (TP) Three fugitive bank robbers who scaled the wall at Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary last Wed nesday, still managed today to evade one of the greatest man hunts in Pennsylvania history.

Lewis goes ahead with his threatened shut down of Northern mines next Monday. The Dixie mines, operating now only two or three days a week, probably will go to a full five day week’s production if the Northern mines are shut down. South To Take Advantage Lewis has staggered the con tract expiration dates of his Uni ted Mine Workers union so that the agreements end next Satur day for members of the Bitumin ous Coal Operators Association, representing the bulk of the Northern mines, while pacts with the Southern Coal Producers As sociation end 10 days later, on Sept. 30. Members of the southern asso ciation, it was reported today, generally plan to take advantage of the situation to make money while they can. The Southern group, however, expects a strike on Oct. 1 if no agreement can be reached with union leader Lewis by then, or if no agreement has been reached between the union and the North ern operators. $l.BO Daily Boost It is traditional in the industry that when one large group of mine owners signs up with Lew is, the other operators quickly come to the same terms, because each group fears losing its cus tomers to a rival. B and O Tests TV For Railroad Use CHICAGO, Sept. 16 size television helped run a rail road today.

Sept. 15 (Delayed by censor) —(JP) Six Marine Panther jets, returning from a combat mis sion in heavy overcast, smashed into neighboring peaks in South Korea at dusk last Thursday while attempting to find a friendly Air Force field. A.ll six pilots were killed, Air Force officers said. Word of the tragic mishap was withheld pending notifica tion of next of kin. ably destroyed and 37 damaged for a grand total of 86 MIGs de stroyed or damaged. Allied losses for the week will be announced Saturday. For the first 12 days of September, how ever, the Air Force announced two Sabre jets and three slower FB4 Thunder jets shot down in combat and six others lost by other causes.- An additional six Marine Pan ther jets crashed into two mist shrouded South Korean moun tains Sept. 11 while returning from a combat .mission, U.S. offi cers disclosed today. Allied pilots thus had a victory ratio of 46-5 over the Reds in plane-to-plane combat, on the basis of announced losses. The smashing successes scored by the Allied Sabres gave rise to speculation that they were now equipped with a new secret de vice. . Air Force Secretary Thomas K. Finletter said in Washington Sept. 8 that the device soon would be used in Korea and that it would give Allied fliers “a' very great technical advantage over MIGs.” Finletter also declared, that “more MIG 15s are going to go down and more FB6s Sabres are going to stay up.” He described the device as a “new gadget or gimmick.” A Fifth Air Force spokesman refused to divulge the nature of the device or confirm its use in combat.
