Editors Forecast Record
j Vote In November Election,
Answer Unjustified Peeves
WASHINGTON OP A record vote Nov. 4 Is predicted
by editors of some of the nation's leading newspapers who
agree that this is one of the hottest presidential contests in
history.
The "editors, who cme here for
a weekend meeting of the directors
of the American Society of News
paper Editors (ASNE), said this
campaign has brought more pres
sure on the press and more criti
cism from partisans of both sides
than . any other pre-election news
coverage in memory.
Here are some of the editors
Interviewed: .
James S. Pope, executive editor
of the Louisville Courier-Journal
and Times, which are supporting
Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Democratic
nominee for President:
' "I have become convinced of one
thing: Readers cannot judge the
objectivity of a newspaper in a
presidential campaign for the sim
ple reason that they cannot read
objectively. Most of them do not
want objectivity they want their
fide favored.
- "Many Republicans complained
that our news stories about Nixon
were 'Democratic propaganda' un
til . Nixon made his television
speech; then Democrats started
complaining that stories about
Nixon were 'Republican propagan
da'. - "Some Democrats think we are
trying to hurt Stevenson by putting
on page one accounts of Truman's
attacks on Ike; but if we played
Truman down, just as many Demo
crats would scream." "
Pope added: "It is fairly easy
to keep news even as between
Adlai and Ike, but Truman throws
things off balance." ,
Printing News, First Duty
"J. Donald Ferguson, ' president
and editor of the Milwaukee Jour
nal: "The only other presidenital
campaign I can r e call which
reached so high an emotional level
iwas the Al Smith-Herbert Hoover
campaign of '28. The emotions
aroused there were of one kind
religious. In this campaign we
have numerous emotional currents,
ranging from grievances against
the Truman administration to re
sentments within the Republican
party because Sen. Taft was not
the nominee.
"Newspapers can only print the
news as accurately as it comes to
us. i suppose that so long as the
shadow of Russia falls across the
world and fear is in the minds of
men, the public is going to be ex
tremely, edgy, suspicious, and an
gry temporarily at facts that do
not please it."
"Intensity of feeling about the
presidential contest has been re
flected even in an increase in ser
vice complaints to his newspapers,
said Gideon Seymour, executive
editor of the Minneaoolis S- ind
Tribune. He cited one incident:
"A woman called me u. 2
o'clock one morning and said that
several pages in the second sec
tion of her Evening Star were
blank. I expressed regret, and ex
plained that this happened when
we changed newsprint rolls on the
press and that while we tried to
throw out all imperfect copies we
didn't always succeed. I told her
that if she d give me her name
and address I'd have a better copy
delivered to her.
" 'Oh, no,' she replied. 'I like
it. I was just calling up to tell
you now much oetter your paper
would be these days if you always
left half the pages blank!' "

Ike Says Foes
Spread 'Poison
'Fantastic Lies'
By DON WHITEHEAD
ABOARD THE EISENHOWER
SPECIAL I Dwight D. Eisen
hower, accused his Democratic op
ponents Monday of spreading "poi
son" and "fantastic lies" in an ef
fort to defeat him in the Novem
ber election. -
He lashed out at the opposition
as he pushed his presidential cam
paign into New England along the
same path taken by President
Truman last week.
Despite swirling snow, large
crowds gathered to cheer him at
every stop.
It was the worst weather luck
Eisenhower had had since he be
gan campaigning Sept. 1 but the
first snow of the season didn't chill
the enthusiasm of the crowds.
Eisenhower turned bitter criti
cism against the Democrats in
Bridgeport, Conn., where he aaid
there had been charges his elec
tion would mean another depres
sion, that he could cut taxes for
management but not for the work
ers, and abolish unions.
He termed these charges lies and
said:
"The opposition has resorted to
the most fantastic lies and distor
tions." Earlier at Stamford, he had
promised that "every single bit of
strength" in the nation would be
mustered against another depres
sion. And he said:
"We shall never allow such a
must have proper social security
A sound and prosperous America
is necessary if there is to be peace
in the world, Eisenhower asserted,
and he went on to say:
"If we are not again going to
get into war we must pledge every
single bit of strength there is in
the United States, all the strength
of rivate enterprise, of municipal
and state governments and of the
federal government against the re
currence of . . . depression."
". . , If we are not going to
have a depression, that means peo
ple must have decent wages; they
must have proper social security
programs; they must have prosper
ous farm programs all of those
things that put a floor of protec
tion over the pit of disaster into
which our people must not fall."
In his Bridgeport talk, Eisen
hower said the charges levelled
against him raised the question:
"Just how silly and crazy can
you get in this world."
Eisenhower left New York on a
I three-day tour of Connecticut.
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and
New Hampshire. -
