Prosperity Not 'False Stevenson Declares ' (Continued from Page One) industrial equipment should rise 15 per cent, railroad equipment 30 per cent and truck manufacture 60 per cent. Stevenson tore into the Repub licans for what he said was the GOP attempt to contend In election years "that they believe heart and soul in all of the things they tried to break." He said Republicans had voted against the interests of the farmers, laborers, business men, consumers, housewives, "our children, the old folks and our free friends abroad." He said the heart of the Repub lican party is aimed at "abundance for the few with indifference for the mass of people." "In foreign affairs it leads to in decision and obstruction, with the risk of its grim sequel, war," Ste venson declared. "In domestic af fairs, it is always too little and too late, obstruction and mistrust of everything that has been won for the mass of people. "Now I do not accuse the Gen eral Eisenhower of deliberately wanting these things," he contin ued. "If the truth must out, I haven't the foggiest notion what he as an individual stands for. His view seems to change, as on tide lands oil, social security, farm price supports, foreign assistance, defense, as he learns mora about Ufa in America from his advisers."

Ike Scores 'Whole Hog' Federal Government (Continued from Page One) Salem, Albany and Eugene, Ore Last night in Seattle, Eisenhower referred to Truman as "an expert in political demagoguery" giving the people "a course in nonsense fiction." And he called the Tru man regime a "whoie-hog" gov "rnmenl operating on the theory that "the federal government must do everything for us and to us. The crowd of some 5,009 that jammed the Civic Ice Arena cneered lustily. Eisenhower beamed. An additional 5.000 per sons were seated in a high school football stadium nearby, listening to the speech tiirough loud speak ers. The crowd cheered again when Eisenhower said of Truman's at tacks against him and the Repub licans: "You have- been conducted through an underworld of imag inary devils." He went on to 'outline his own ideas about the development of Kestrn resources which he said would mean "the full use of private rpurces plus a iocal-state-federal partnership" in reclamation pro ra ins Faderal Control Rapped He turned thumbs down on a federally controlled Columbia Val ley authoritv which would be sim ilar to the Tennessee Valley Au thority. "The present administration's an swer to further resource develop ment," he said, "is the valley authoritv, a kind of super-government blue printed in Washington, D. C, and manned from there. You don't need more super gov ernment." And then he referred to the "whole-hoggers who want a Col umbia Valley authority, a Brannan Plan, and socialized medicine." Rather than a federal Columbia Valley authority, Eisenhower ar gued, there should be a "new inter state body" in which state mem bers would have equal authority with federal members in working .,; f v'ljation and flood control programs. Eisenhower jabbed at those he called "the sly apostles of Fair Dealism." And he studded his speech with references to "whole- hog" government. "By deliberata design," he said. "federal government seeks to freeze out the intiative and ener gies of local, state and private agencies, whenever It thinks that thev are doing anything that in fringes upon the swelling federal empire, thus, tha whole-hog men tality proceeds toward the creation of a more cxtensivt and stifling monopoly than our country has ev er seen." ; Eisenhower asserted that once federal projects are paying for themselves, then local and state government should "take over the financing, take over the projects for their own people, and get their region out of hock to the federal government. . . To do this we need an administration which be lieves in keeping government close to the people."
