Gen. Eisenhower 'On Run'
SPRINGFIELD, 111. (m Associates of Gov. Adlai E.
Stevenson believe the Democrats have Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower on the run and will win
great surge of support from
This view, sketched publicly by
Campaign Manager Wilson Wyatt
at a news conference yesterday, is
shared privately by almost ail of
the Democratic presidential nom
inee's advisers. A number of Dem
ocrats have publicly voiced their
optimism. Sen William Kulbright
of Arkansas has predicted that the
Illinois governor will carry the
South and the border states.
Secretary of Labor Tobin said
yesterday Eisenhower will pay the
price of losing New York for em
bracing Sens. Joseph R. McCarthy
of Wisconsin and William E. Jenner
of Indiana, detractors of Eisen

preceptor, Gen. George C. Mar

reported that ' things look pretty
good" for Stevenson in vital Penn

Wyatt'made it-plain he thinks

the Democrats are beginning to
harvest "extremely substantial"
support from the independent vote.
He told reporters that National
Committee members and volun

wave of desertions from fcisen-.
hower's cause. I
He said that "I Used to Like
Ike" groups were being formed be
cause of "disillusionment" with the
general's campaign tactics. This
"disillusionment," he said, is
'based on the compromises, the
shifts of position and the abandon
ment of principles that they felt
before were emphatically held by
him."
Costs Worry Adali
Gov. Stevenson, in a radio speech
sponsored by volunteers seeking $5

On Red Craft
U.S. Plane Apparently
Destroyed; Frontier
Violated, Soviet Says
MOSCOW to Russia has
charged that a U.S. B-29 bomber
shot at Soviet fighter planes over
Russian Far Eastern territory
Tuesday and said the Red pilots
returned the fire. The incident oc
curred the same day the U.S. Air
Force reported one of its Super
forts missing off Japan.
A Soviet note to the United
States, formally protesting the al
leged border violation, said the
American plane "disappeared in
the direction of the sea" after the
Russians shot back.
In Tokyo, U. S. Air Force
spokesman said the missing Amer
ican plane "carried no guns and
no gunners" among its crew of
eight. The Air Force previously
had announced the bomber, flying
a training trip, was last seen on
a radar screen within Japanese
waters. It disappeared from the
screen when its path crossed
that of an unidentified plane ap
proaching from the Russian-occupied
Kurile Islands, officers said.
Sovitt Version Received
The Soviet note charged that the
U.S. Bomber "violated the Sov
iet state frontier Oct. 7 in the
"area of the island of Yuri." Yuri
is one of the Kurile Islands, 18
miles from the northernmost Japa
nese island of Hokkaido.
The American craft fired on two
Soviet fighter plans that ordered
it to land, the note continued, and
"when the Soviet fighters returned
the fire, the American plane dis
appeared in the direction- of the-
sea."
The note concluded:
"The Soviet government lodges
a determined protest against the
new case of violation of the Soviet
state frontier by American mili
tary aircraft and demands that
