In a personal message to Nixon

The message said:

"Give my love to Pat (Nixon's
wife) and warm regard to your

Eisenhower signed the note with

Geddes Hits Stand
Of Porter Against
Nuclear Bomb Tests
Paul K. Geddes, Roseburg attor
ney and Republican candidate for
congress trom tne sin District,
Thursday blasted Rep. Charles O.
Porter's stand against nuclear
weapons tests.
Geddes charged lhat Porter's
"propaganda campaign" aimed at
stopping atomic defense tests was
a tragic combination of "ignorance
and irresponsibility" which could
only give "aid and comfort to our
enemies."
The Republican candidate took
particular exception to the Con
gressman'! statement that this
country was playing what Porter
said might be called "American
roulette" with the tests and "en
dangering the composure of the
world."
"This same kind of propaganda,
which has been coming from the
Kremlin for some time, has an
gered hut not surprised most Amer
icans." Geddes said. "It it incon
ceivable, however, that an Ameri
can Congressman could be ignor
ant enough, or care little enough
for the welfare of his country, to
spout such nonsense.
Doesn't Speak For Party
Geddes continued, "I am certain
Porter does not speak for the great
majority of his party in America.
Certainly, he doesn't speak for
Democrats in the 4th Congressional
District of Oregon. This ia not a
partisan issue. Republicans and
Democrats have their differences
in philosophy, principles and pol
icy, but when the welfare and de
fense of America is at stake, the
great majority of both parties are
Americans first."
The COP candidate said it was
his understanding that one pur
pose of the tests which Porter crit
icizes was to perfect a defense
