No United States money went to Argentina after he took office. President Eisenhower
said, until after Peron had been overthrown and driven into exile, according to the As

"This is battle, this is poli
tics, this is anything," he went
on. "So I just see no excuse,
if you believe anything enough,
for not putting your whole
heart into it. It is what I do."
Shows No Pessimism
However, Eisenhower did not
sound at all pessimistic. Nor
did the sum total of his re
marks on the campaign sound
as though he were "running
scared," despite his statement
about the possibility. of losing.
. Eisenhower said he had
talked last night to his hard
campaigning running ' mate,
Vice President Nixon, and Nix
on "seemed to be highly
pleased with what he encoun
tered."

Stevenson Attacks
Adlai Stevenson said in a speech
at Miami Tuesday night that the

"appeased" the Peron regime.
The Democratic presidential
nominee added that "a member of

sponsibility for our relationships
with Argentina." An aide said
Stevenson referred to Dr. Eisen
hower.
Visits Latin America
Dr. Eisenhower visited Peron
and other Latin-American heads
of state in 1953 as a representa
tive of President Eisenhower_
The President told his news
conference:
1. It was the Truman adminis
tration in 1950-51 that loaned 130
million dollars to Peron. After he
took office. Eisenhower said. Per
on got nothing from this country.
$l6O Million Loan Given
2. Not until after Peron had
been replaced by a new regiffie
did the United States authorize a
160-million-dollar credit to help
Argentina establish a steel indus
try.
- 3. Dr. Eisenhower's mission to
Latin America was an attempt to
revitalize the partnership spirit
among American governments.
One result, the President said,
was that an Argentina censorship
on news agency communications
was lifted within 24 hours.
Prexy 'Not Involved'
4. Dr. Eisenhower never had a
hand in making foreign policy and
acted only at the request of and
through the State Department.
The President said he had di
rected the State Department to
prepare a full statement on his
brother's role in foreign affairs
and would make it public when it
is ready.

countered.
"We are very, very happy
that people seem to feel
toward us like they show."
As for 'the odds of his being

that the Eisenhower adminis
tration "seemed to be playing

Cabinet Axes
Half-Holiday
Protest Vote
All-University Cabinet refused
last night to register a formal pro
test against th e University's
denial of a half-holiday for the
Penn-Penn State football game
tomorrow in Philadelphia.
Cabinet recommended the holi
day to the University last Thurs
day, but the deans of the nine
colleges in the University axed
the request at a special meeting
Monday night.
Kramer Makes Motion
Near the end of the 1%-hour
meeting, Edmond Kramer, Busi
ness Administration Student
Council president, asked Cabinet
to go record as "not being in com
plete accord with the University's
decision on the holiday."
Kramer expressed discontent
with the absence of a University
official at last week's meeting,
and said he hoped the "University
does have a desire to work with
Cabinet."
In an effort to curb what he
termed would be a "regrettable
mistake." Frank J. Simes, dean
of men, told Cabinet he didn't
think the body should go on rec
ord against the University. "It
wouldn't help University-student
relations," he explained.
Simes Pacifies
Pacifying the group. Simes said:
"You must realize that every
time you make a recommenda
tion, to the administration you're
taking the chance someone's going
to say no."
Answering Kramer, Simes said
he'd rather see Cabinet act on its
own, then have an administration
official go before Cabinet on every
question.
The members then decided to
drop the holiday question.
