Ike Power-Mad
Adlai Charges
HARTFORD, Conn. (JP) —Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson said last night
that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s endorsement of Sen. William
Jenner of Indiana amounts to “pursuit of power at any price,”
and he called such a course “distasteful to any honorable man.”
Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, came up at the
same time with a warm endorsement 6f his own for Sen. William

Republican
Strike Claim
WASHINGTON (#■)•—President
Truman yesterday sharply' dis
puted a report that Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower was ordered to
Washington in 1946 to take com
mand of railway strikers about to
be drafted into the Army to keep
trains running.
The President told a news con
ference that he certainly didn’t
ask Eisenhower', then Army chief
of staff, to take over the rail
operation chore. And to his know
ledge, he added, no other official
did.
Threatens to Resign
In 1946 Ttuman asked Congress
for power to draft the strikers in
to the Army. The strike was set
tled about the time he made his
request. The legislation he pro
posed was not enacted.
The Truman comments were
made in connection with a story
in today’s New York Times quot
ing associates of the Republican
presidential candidate as reveal
ing that in a talk with Truman
he threatened to resign as chief
of staff in May, 1946, if forced
to act as a “strike-breaker.”
Eisenhower him self, without
mentioning with whom he talked
or the resignation threat, said in
his speech before the American
Federation of • Labor yesterday
that he was resting in Georgia in
the spring of 1946 when he got
a telephone call from Washing
ton to return here immediately
to “assume command of the rail
way strikers, who were going to
be drafted into the Army.”
No Report of Meeting
Eisenhower went on to say that
he refused with a “bitter protest,”
but after a later call,-when he
was told he . was cohsidered the
only soldier with whom the work
ers would even talk, he agreed to
meet with them—as a soldier “and
not a strike-breaker.”
Nixon Charged
With Accepting
Private Funds '
WASHINGTON (JP)— Chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell of the Dem
ocratic National Committee said
yesterday Sen. Richard M. Nixon,
because he v has accepted private
donations to supplement his sen
atorial salary, should resign as
Republican vice presidential nom
inee.
Nixon, campaigning in Califor
nia, his home state, defended the
arrangement and declared he was
just being fair with the taxpayers.
Mitchell, in a statement, took a
less charitable view. He raised
the question whether Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, the GOP presi
dential nominee, would “gag and
swallow this revelation . . . that
Sen. Nixon has been accepting
donations from wealthy Califor
nia business men to supplement
his salary as a senator.”
Mitchell said Eisenhower “has
been making a great show of in
dignation over corruption, in
demagogic speeches.”
South Koreans Brave
Heavy Fire, Take Ridge
SEOUL (JP)— Sturdy South Ko
rean infantrymen racked up an
other victory on the Central Front
yesterday, seizing and holding a
height on Finger Ridge in the face
of furious Red cannonading.
The South Koreans—rapidly be
coming an Allied bulwark under
U.S. military training s e i z e d

the daring . they '-displayed in re
capturing nearby Capitol Hill last
Week.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Benton, (Conn.-D.) who has de
manded that Sen. Joseph R. Mc-
Carthy (Wis.-R.) be ousted from
Congress.
In a prepared speech at Bush
nell Memorial Auditorium, Ste
venson also appealed to Republi
cans to join with Democrats in
working toward an international
system for control of atomic
power..
First Eastern Speech
/ The Illinois governor put it
this way: “To my Republican lis
teners I would say: the atomic
adventure transcends partisan is
sues. Win or lose, we Democrats
will work with you to follow this
adventure to the end of peace and
plenty for mankind.”
Stevenson came to Hartford
last night for his first major cam
paign address on a tour which will
take him during the next week
into four other states—Massachu
setts, New York, Virginia and
Maryland.
At the outset of his speech last
night, Stevenson again sharply
criticized Eisenhower, his Repub
lican opponent for the presidency,
for giving blanket endorsement
to all GOP nominees for Con
gress.
Endorses Benion
Stevenson has declined to fol
low such a policy in the case of
Democratic nominees. He said
Monday he would make up h’.s
mind about candidates individu
ally.
The governor tonight endorsed
both Benton, who is bidding for
re-election, and R’ep. Abe Ribi
coff, who is seeking Connecticut’s
other U.S. Senate seat in a race
opened by the death of Sen. Brien
McMahon.
Stevenson praised Benton warm
ly and at length in obvious allu
sions to his denunciation of Mc-
Carthy’s methods in pressing his
Communists-in-government char
ges.
Says Theory Dangerous
Eisenhower has said he is sup
porting all GOP nominees be
cause he believes winning control
of Congress from the Democrats
is just as important as winning
the presidency—and that other
wise there could be no party re
sponsibility.
In his speech, Stevenson said
“the general’s theory is not only
novel, it is dangerous,” and add
ed: “If the voters of this nation
ever stop looking at the record
and character of candidates, and
look only at their party label, it
will be ,a sorry day for healthy
democracy.”

Fumbling
Leadership
ABOARD EISENHOWER SPE
CIAL OR) —Gen. Dwight D. Ei
senhower rode across the farm
lands of'lowa today charging the
Democrats with “waste, careless
ness and arrogance of power” in
their administration of govern
ment.
With a, theme of corrupt and
fumbling leadership in Washing
ton, the GOP nominee made his
second big bid for the Midwestern
farm vote which four.years ago
was credited largely with giving
President Truman his victory. Ei
senhower accused the administra
tion ‘of “a crazy spending pro
gram.”
Eisenhower was up early today
to speak to an after-breakfast
throng of several thousand people
who crowded onto the Courthouse
lawn at Davenport, la. They gave
the GOP candidate and his wife,
Mamie, a rousing round' of cheers.
And they cheered, too, when Ei
senhower bitterly criticized the
“waste, carelessness, and arro
gance of power” which he said
had been shown by those “too
long in-the seats of the mighty.”
Eisenhower said he had found
Americans across the country to
be troubled, worried and doubtful.
“Why should we be. confused?”
he asked. “Why should we be .in
decisive?” And then he added:
“We can only come back to the
belief that something is wrong
with the leadership we have.”
j&orse Critteizes Taft
NEW YORK {JP) —Sen. Wayne
Morse, Oregon’s restless Republi
can, criticized Sen. Robert A.
Taft yesterday as a “substitute
quarterback,” leading the GOP
towards defeat. But he said that
as of now Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower “is ahead.”
Morse told the AFL’s 71st an -
nual convention that Taft had
emerged as a campaign signal
caller and that this “starts the
team running in the opposite di
rection away from a touchdown
and toward a defeat.”
He depicted the Ohio Republi
can as “a dazed one . . . called
back into the game out of the
showers—the substitute quarter
back now calling Republican sig
nals and well known for his poli
tical fumbles.”
The AFL delegates rocked with
laughter and applause at many
points in his speech. Delegates
packed the Hotel Commodore
ballroom for Morse's address.

Robot PLan.es Able
To Carry A-Bombs
TOKYO (/P) —The U.S. Navy warned yesterday it has hundreds
of robot planes ready to mount a great bombing attack in Korea
and said some day they conceivably could hit any world target
With an A-bomb.
In Washington, however, Rear
Adm. John H. Sides, director of
guided missiles, told a news con
ference “it is just not true” that
the U.' S. is ready for large-scale
robot plane attacks. He declined
to estimate U. S. capabilities,'but
said the Navy’s missile program
is “coming along nicely.”
Shortly after Washington re
leased the electrifying news that
the robot planes already had
smashed somd Korean targets, the
Navy in Tokyo gave more details
of this push-button weapon of
war.
AP photographer Fred Waters
said four to six of them had been
sent hurtling on the Communists.
Navy sources said others prob
ably had been launched since
Waters’ first report.
Lt. Comdr. Lawrence A. Kurtz,
director of the guided missiles
program in Korea, kept current
operations a closely-guarded se
cret. But he did tell a press con
ference:
1. So far, 1800 obsolete planes
had been converted to robots—
with electronic equipment—that
can be launched from the ground
or from carriers and directed to
