Sen. Nixon
Will Plead
Funds Case
LOS ANGELES (/P) Young
Sen. Richard Nixon of California,
fighting for his political life over
an $lB,OOO expense fund, flew
here yesterday to plead his case
before American voters.
The _ GOP candidate for vice
presi dent received a cheering
welcome by several hundred peo
ple at Los Angeles International
Airport.
Nixon Hopeful
Nixon dramatically broke off
his Western campaign at
Portland, Ore. temporarily, he
said —to tell a nation-wide radio
television audience tonight of his
political and personal finances.
Nixon, grimly determined, was
hopeful that he would convince
the voters—and Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower as well—that there.
was no wrong-doing in connec
tion with his stormy political
fund.
No Definite Word
Nixon, in an extraordinary ac
tion said he would give a com
plete accounting of his personal
and political finances in his
broadcast over the NBC tele
vision and 'the CBS and MBS
radio networks between 7:30 to
8 p.m. today.'
The 27-man .party, including
newsmen, left Portland with Nix
on’s aides saying that the vice
presidential nominee still had re
ceived no definite word on his
status with Gen. Eisenhower.' The
presidential candidate has been
described as perturbed over the
$lB,OOO fund disclosure .to the
point where he was considering
asking his 39-year-old running
mate to drop off the ticket.

To Return to U.S.
CHERBOURG, France (£>)—
Charlie Chaplin, in a jovial, holi
day mood, said yesterday threats
to bar him from the United States
had not altered his plans to re

much surprised” by U.S. Atty.
Gen. James P. McGranery’s an
nouncement last' Friday that he
had ordered Chaplin barred from
re-enteringthe country until a
hearing determines his fitness to
return.
Chaplin said he had cabled his
lawyers to find out what Mc-
Granery—yrho gave no explana
tion of his^action—had in mind.
Rome Astronomer Soys
'Saucers' Are 'Nonsense'
ROME (JP) —Prof. Giuseppe Ar
mellini, director of. the Rome
Astronomical Observatory, caught
what was reported to be a “fly
ing saucer” in his telescope Sun
day night and says “It’s all a lot
of nonsense.”
He happened to observe some
thing which set scores of Rome
residents to , calling their -news
papers. “They are simply balls of
heat lightning,” he announced.
Marines Hit Denmark
SKAGEN, Denmark (JP) —U. S.
Marines, with light weapons and
artillery, swarmed on Ska

phibibus landing yesterday and
some were showered with Com

didate a demand to make known
details of the fund.
In his wire, Chandler, vice
chairman of. Aj B. Dick and Com
pany, an office' equipment firm,
said:
Referred to Nixon'
“In view of the attack on Sen.
Nixon because of the privately
raised expense fund and your
campaign manager’s ill-considered
charges, it is your responsibility
to state publicly that this method
of financially assisting public of
ficials is in keeping with the pol
icy you expressed to a group of
your -friends, including myself, at
the Commercial Club April 23
last.”
Chandler referred to Sen. Rich
ard Nixon, the Republican vice
presidential candidate, and the
recent disclosure that a political
fund of more than $lB,OOO was
raised for Nixon by a group of
California residents.
Criticized Funds
The other reference was to Ste
phen 'A. Mitchell, Democratic na
tional chairman, who publicly
called on Nixon to resign -as a
candidate. • 1
The Chandler telegram name as
newspapers criticized the raising
and handling of Stevenson’s cam
paign funds obtained while he
was still a candidate for a second
term as Illinois governor—before
his presidential nomination in
July.
Key Jobs
Existence of the payroll aug
menting fund mentioned by
Chandler has not hitherto been
disclosed, although Stevenson
once told reporters that he had
contributed from his -personal
funds to eke out low salary for
one or'more of his appointees..-'
The Illinois governor said he
did that to help keep high class
men in key state jobs. He refused
to enlarge on his remark, explain
ing that details might cause em
barrassment.
U.S., Britain Deny
Russian Charges
WASHINGTON (/P)—The Uni
ted States and Britain have curtly
rejected Russia’s charge that they
are converting Trieste into a per
manent “war base.”
In terse notes delivered at Mos
cow Saturday and made public
last night, the two allies flatly
denied they are violating Italy’s
Peace Treaty by an agreement
giving Italians a bigger role in
governing the British - American
zone of Trieste, which lies be
tween Italy and Yugoslavia.
The American note, made pub
lic by the State • Department,
ranked as one of the shortest
ever sent Moscow. In 190 words,
stripped of the usual diplomatic
pleasantries, the United States
turned down a" formal Moscow
note of nearly 1000 words sent
last June 24.
Russia had accused Britain and
the United States of flagrantly
violating the Italian 1947 Peace
Treaty by the deal with Italy.

and Ballard Nolen, 22, two Ken

Ike Says Adlai Is Faint-Hearted
CINCINNATI (/P) Dwight D.
Eisenhower accused Adlai Ste
venson last night of a “faintness
of. heart” which he said reflects an
administration surrender of im
itiative to the Communists.
The Republican presidential
candidate loosed this, blast in
the shadow of war because the
administration is playing “an end
less game of makeshift and make
believe” in its foreign policies.
Eisenhower also levelled at the
Democratic presidential nominee
accusations of “smug evasions, of
dealing lightly with the problem
of ending the Korean War, and of
making “false charges” against
him.
“It is not hard to find men of
fine intellect and faint heart,” Ei
senhower said in the text of a
prepared speech for a Republican
rally. “But this is no time for men
of refined and elaborate indecis
ion.

Stevenson Hits Ike's
Taft-Hartley Views
NEW YORK (/P) —Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson yesterday denounced
the Taft-Hartley law as “spiteful,” called anew for its repeal, rapped
hard at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s labor views, and got howling
approval at the American Federation of Labor convention.
Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, also drew
warm applause from the AFL
delegates in outlining a five-point
program aimed at closer labor
government partnership.
. All in all, the reception the Illi
nois governor received appeared
to make it a virtual certainty—if
any further evidence were needed
—that the AFL will vote today to
endorse Stevenson’s candidacy.
Adlai Applauded
The CIO already has endorsed
Stevenson
Addressing more than 2000 AFL
delegates and visitors who jam
med and overflowed the ballroom,
Stevenson was interrupted 35
times by applause and laughter at
his quips.
And the cry was, “You tell ’em,
Steve,” when the governor said
the history of the Republican par
ty is that “it supported and was
supported by those interests
which believed that freedom
meant the right to exercise eco
nomic power without restraint.”
At the outset of his speech, Ste
venson remarked that the AFL
convention already has been in
session eight days, and said:
Jokes at GOP 'Thrift'
“This makes it high time for a
little humor.” He added:
“But I fear some people may be
listening who don’t like the light
touch, although they don’t seem
to mind the heavy one, provided
it is made by a Republican and
not a Democrat.”
Stevenson said nothing to make
it clear whether he was alluding
to GOP vice presidential candi
date Richard Nixon’s acceptance
of a $18,235 privately endowed
expense fund. But in any event,
the governor’s remark brought a
gale of laughter.
