Ike Claims Economy Based
On 'War, Threat of War"
PEORIA, 111., Oct. 2 M—Gen. Dwight D. - Eisenhower
asserted tonight that the economy of the United States, for
years, has been propped up by "war and . the threat of war,"
and he said a condition of false prosperity exists in the na
tion today. -
Democratic economic planning, he said, has not raised
living standards, increased wages, nor abolished .unemploy
ment.
On the contrary, the GOP presidential candidate told
Ike Charged
I rrespo sible
By Truman
SEATTLE, Oct. 2 M—LPresi
dent Truman accused Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower tonight of playing
irresponsible politics with the na
tion's security by calling for
spending cuts which the Presi
dent said would wreck America's
defenses.
Pausing at Seattle in his coast
to-coast campaign tour, Truman
declared in a prepared speech
that Eisenhower, to get the sup
port of Sen. Robert A. Taft and
"other Republican isolationists,"
is advocating cuts that would be
"sheer folly in the face of the
known dangers of Soviet aggres
sion."
"I am dismayed and disheart
ened," Truman said, "that a man
whom we all once respected has
thus turned his back upon the
things we thought he stood for.
"In contrast, we can be proud
of the Democratic candidate, Gov.
Stevenson of Illinois. He has
been too honest to make any easy
promises about drastically cutting
our military strength."
Truman spoke in scathing terms
of Taft's recent statement—made
after his breakfast table confer
ence with the general in New
York—that Eisenhower agreed
with him on a cut of $10,000,000,-
000 from the budget in fiscal 1954
and about $20,000,000,000 the next
year.
Stalin Claims
War Inevitable
MOSCOW, ' Oct. 2 (R)—Joseph
Stalin, An a long message to Com
munists published today, pictures
war as inevitable among the cap
italist countries. He asserts one
has to believe in miracles to think
Japan and Germany will 'not
"break out of American slavery"
and rise anew in an - effort to
smash the United States.
At 'the same time, he pictures
Communistic nations as growing
stronger. Soon, he says, they can
cease importing goodsand instead
export surplus merchandise.
Stalin, made his views known
in a 50-page article in the maga
zine Bolshevik. The publication
came three days before the con-,
vening of a historic Soviet Corn
munist party Congress--an event
expected to result in new. disclo
sures of Communist policy., ,
Connolly Is;For Stevenson
WASHINGTON (W)—Sen. Torn
Connally said today that he's all
for Adlai - Stevenson for presi
dent and that he "very likely"
will campaign for the Democratic
ticket in Texas.
And the veteran Texas senator
predicted at ' a news conference
that the Stevenson- Spark man
ticket will win- in the Lone Star
State despite Gov. Allan Shivers.

War Year Gains
Eisenhower said the - D em o
crats, using their , slogan "You
never had it so good," are attempt
ing to , take credit for improve
ments in living standards. But 'he
said: •
"The blunt fact is that the only
improvement achieved in these
20 Democratic years was during
the five-year period of World
War II."
The general said economic poli-
Les based on opportunities under
peace, not war, must be devised.
Talks On War
"My goal," he declared, "assum
ing that the cold war gets no
worse, .is to cut federal .spending
to something like $60,000,000,000
within four years.
He told his audiences at several
points that the time has come for
South Korean troops to take over
the main burden of the fighting
in Korea. It makes "no sense," he
said for "American soldiers to be
doing most of the fighting there.
Lists PrincipiSs
At Bradley, Eisenhower said his
economic policies would rest on
three main
.principles:
1. To provide a sound dollar, he
said, is government's primary re
sponsibility.
Asks Industry• Aid
2. To cut federal spending to
"something like $60,000,000,000
within four years." This, he said,
will restore the incentive to ex
pand production.
3. "We will give positive sup
port and encouragement to 'new
industry' development. We shall
encourage venture capital invest
ments at home 'and abroad. We
shall•isupport a foreign economlC
policy that encourages gro w t h
throughout the free world."

Radio-TV Campaign
NEW YORK, Oct. 2 (W)—A Citizens for Eisenhower Committee
official said today the group is "trying to raise as much money as
we can" for a last-minute radio and television campaign for the
GOP candidate.
Walter Williams, co-chairman of the national organization, said
it doesn't have any hope of obtaining the $2,000,000 originally recom
mended for the project but wishes
it could get that much.'
"How much we actually will
spend depends, of course, on what
money we are able to raise for
this vital purpose," Williams said.
Adlai's HQ Mentions Plan
And, he added:
"Thanks to th e Stevenson
camp's claimed 'expose' of an er
roneously labelled 'secret ' plan'
we are now getting more dona
tions . . ."

a "super-colossal, m u 1 t i-million
dollar" program of spot radio and
TV announcements.
• Intend to Swing States
Williams, commenting on this
in a prepared statement, said:
"We wish it could live up to -its
Stevenson billing . . . We are now
trying to raise as much money as
we can to give the spots the wid

Underworld
Heads Face
eport I Non
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (4')
Atty. Gen. McGranery said today
the Justice Department is round
ing up some 100 underworld big
shots and other undesirable char
acters with the aim of deporting
them from the United States.
'McGranery announced the drive
at a news conference and said
proceedings were started, against
half a dozen reputed racketeers
in the last week.
In cases involving naturalized
Americans, McGranery said, the
first step will be to strip them
of their citizenship.
The campaign, he said, is di
rected primarily against aliens
and naturalized Americans who
have been engaged in organized
crime; Bid it is also intended to
rid the country of other • persons
regarded by the Justice Depart
ment as objectionable.
McGranery said the second cat
egory included alien Communists,
Communists who may, have ob
tained citizenship illegally, and
"unsavory characters who have
continued to be aliens technically
as well as in the broader sense.
A formal statement outlining
the attorney general's views on
"ungrateful recipients of Ameri
can hospitality" mentioned in the
same paragraph Frank Costello,
New' York gambling czar, and
Charles Chaplin of the movies,
who is 'a British 'subject.
The department proposes to be
gin denaturalization and depor-.
tation proceedings against • Cos
tello. Chaplin is now abroad, and
his re-entry into the United States
will be made the subject of im
migration hearings..

HARRISBURG, Oct. 2 -2—Fi
nancial problems present a "not
too promising" picture for future
improvement of the Pennsylvania
educational system; a school sup
erintendent reported today.
The report was made to the state
education congress by David H.
Stewart, superintendent of Dor
mont Schools, Allegheny County,
and first vice president of the
National Education Association.
"Even a very superficial exam
ination of the facts will produce
the inevitable concluSion that a
tax systeM which has almost
broken down in its efforts to fi
nance current commitments can
hardly produce needed revenue
for the current program without
any consideration for needed im
provements."
