Eisenhower Volleys At Kennedy's
'Loose Talk' Of Democratic
Candidate Heavily Scored;
Praise Bestowed On Nixon
By STERLING F. GREEN
PHILADELPHIA (AP) A free - swinging assault by
President Eisenhower on Democratic "Irresponsibility" rais
ed Republican hopes today for homestretch vigor in the fi
nal 10 days of the presidential campaign.
Eisenhower flew here Friday night for a nationally tele
vised speech in his drive to make his vice president, Rich
ard M. Nixon, his successor. Nixon was reported "extremer
ly exhilarated by the President s praise.
F.isenhnwer soarked bursts of
applause as he hammered hard at
...Sen. John F. Kennedy's charges
that Republican leadership has
damaged American prestige
abroad and steered the country
into economic doldrums.
The President drew cheers with
this shaft at the Democratic nom
inee: "Mv friends, anyone who
seeks to grasp the reins of world
leadership should not spend all nis
time wringing his hands.'
Declaring Nixon "by long odds
the best qualified man to be pres
ident, Eisenhower struck the fam
iliar Republican theme that Ken
nedy is immature and brash.
Though ha never mentioned Ken
nedy by name, Eisenhower said:
"I hear that one candidate says
he will act first and act fast.
America needs a man who will
think first, and then act wisely.
GOP Leaders Jubilant
Pennsylvania Republican lead
ers recently concerned at signs
of rising Kennedy strength, were
jubliant over Eisenhower's speech
and the warmth of his reception
from thousands on midtown Phil
adelphia streets.
In his speech to a dinner spon
sored by the Nixon-for-President
Committee of Pennsylvania, Ei-sen-hower
said the United States is
the most powerful nation on earth
in force of arras. He cited a page
.....long list of economic gains in the
. past eight years to document his
claim that "never have Americans
achieved so much in so short a
time." , ,,
He said he was "profoundly con
cerned by some statements in this
campaign that have cruelly dis
torted the image of America.
"These statements demonstrate
an amazing irresponsibility," said
Eisenhower. "They demand, from
me, emphatic correction."
He recited foreign policy 'suc
cesses" which, he said, refuted
the charges that the nation has
lost prestige. The list ranged from
the halting of the "costly and fu
tile" Korean War to "a decent so
lution of the Suez affair" and the
forging of "new ties with our
'neighbors to the south."
Issues Spending Challenge
"These successes were not won
by any lack of strength or de
risiveness." said the President.
"It is on such a record that Amer
icans measure prestige rather than
upon self-serving political asser
tions." .. t i i
Hr said loose talk about "rela
tive military strength is an exer
cise in caicuiaici vuiuuo.uu.

Torrid Blast

At GOP Meet
By GEORGE CASTILLO
By News-Review Assistant Editor
(Other Stories On Page 2)
Host of the Renublican candi
dates met at Sutherlin's American
Legion hall and turned the air
blue with blasts at the opposition
rrmay nignt.
The bitterest denunciation of the
Democrats before the crowd of
about 45 people came from E. L.
(Larry) Lyman, the retired Ma
rine general. In fact his 35-minute
speech was so bitter that his run
ning mate, Robert Mulls, dis
agreed. Bom are candidalea for
state representative.
Strongest Blast
1 m going to shoot from the
hip tonight," Lyman said before
he launched into probably the
strongest blasts in county cam
paigns this year.
tie indicated memDers or tne
Democratic delegation to the state
house are "dominated by the
state's Democratic bosses," that
Democrats are under the control
of '"radical labor unions" who
would lead the country to Commu
nism and that Democratic-promoted
aid to education will lead to
bureaucracy on bureaucracy un
der which "they will begin telling
us wuai ui uu jusl Ha uicy uu wi
der Communism.
It was on the references to Com
munism that Stults took exception
as he stepped to the rostrum. He
cited Lyman s "innuendo" as
point of disagreement. "I don't
believe that any person in this
United States has intentions to turn
this country over to the Commun
ists. Maybe he (Lyman) didn't
mean it that way. If he does, I
disagree," Stults eaid.: '
Lyman also had some harsh
words to say against Al Flegel,
Democratic candidate for state sen
ator, during his tirade. He called
mm "a political cnameieon who
will "sell you down the river" on
the O&C issue. He chided Flegel
first for agreeing to a 12V? per
cent compromise on use of the
O&C funds for state basic school
support offsets and then saying
"he never meant to give it away."
Lyman said Flegel had changed
his mind when he felt "the cold
hand of voter opposition reaching
out and throttling him." -
Flegel was also taken to task
by James Richmond, Republican
Central Committee chairman, be
cause of a statement he had made
at a Society of American Foresters
meeting Thursday night.
Flegel was quoted as saying
Richmond had charged him with
voting in favor of raising taxes
by putting the increase in income
tax on the ballot (Measure 14). He
was also quoted as saying the
measure is "to increase revenues
and lower personal income taxes."
Richmond called the statements
"a deliberate fraud if he is serious
about it." He also claimed Flegel
had voted for making the change
in the income tax structure with
out referring it to the people.
As an indication of the "fraud,"
Richmond said, the ballot meas
ure would raise taxes on a per
son making $4,000 by 55.2 per cent.
Richmond also charged Flegel
with changing bis tune on the use
of O&C funds as offsets to the
basic school fund.
Hegel's Republican opponent for
the state Senate, Ellon Jackson,
also took a whark at the Demo
dratic standard bearer. He said
Flegel's program is one of "spend
and spend."

major directions:
He praised the Democratic fiscal
policy, as geared to the lower in

higher-income big business, and:
He directed his mortar fire nn
the artillery barrage the Republi
cans have been aiming at Repre
sentative Charles Porter. Porter's
concern with international issues
the point at stake is indeed a
proper one in the interests of world
peace, he maintained.
Jlolitield s an 18-year liberal con
gressman from Monlebello, Calif.,
and he spoke at a meeting at
Democratic headquarters. Porter
footnoted Holifield's remarks with
his own view of his right in Por
ter's view, in fact, his duty to
take a global as well as congress
ional district outlook.
Family Survival
Holificld said that the Deinocra
tic party recognized 20 years ago
lhal national survival depends
upon family survival. It "placed
me credit ot tne united States gov
ernment behind the American
home mortgages," he said, in set-
ling up the f ederal National Mort
gage Association. It did this by
pungling up cash to liquidate FHA
and Gl mortgage loans which had
been made by banks and savings
and loans. Long-term mortgages
with low rinu-n and mnnthlv mv.
mods were then available, he
slathd. . -u
Thus, said Hdlifield, the-Demo
crats have made possible 60 bil
lion dollars worth of housing with
out "one cent of cost to our gov
ernment.
The Democratic congressman
contends that the Republicans
fought credit extension for the aged
and low income groups and have
been opposed lo urban redevelop
ment. Holificld claimed financial Insti
tutions, although relieved of risk
in mortgage lending, still were
long-faced. They didn't like the 4
to 5' -4 per cent low interest' rates
of GI and FHA programs. And so
what he called their "Republican
front men" have tightened loan
provisions and raised interest
rates.
And what s haonened. asked Hol
ificld. Answering, he said the na
tional debt is up only 10 per cent
from Truman to Eisenhower (to
28", billion dollars) but the inter
est in government bonds has gone
from $5,600,000 to nine billion dol
lars. Interest rate hikes have robbed
the home buyer of an extra room
in his house, contended Holifield.
with the mortgage rate above 6
per cent when it was 4V4 per cent.
And that's why contended Holi
ficld there are 200,000 less new
home starts this year and why
sawmills lay idle and unemploy
ment rises. The slated policy to
keep prices down has failed, he
declared.
He thinks the thing to do Is go
back to the lower interest rates,
and he says that Democratic stand
ard bearer Sen. John F, Kennedy
is the man to do it. In general
and in particular reference lo ag
riculture Holifield thought the
Republicans were ignoring econom
ic dangers in the struggle for
world leadership.
He deplored the emergence of
religion in the campaign, said the
country is run by the Constitution
and citizens have fought for it re
gardless of faith. And he got in a
round or two about what he term
ed President Eisenhower's "eva
sions, delaying, and golf-plaving"
and an old plaint about Vice Pres
ident what the Democralics
claimed "dirt", campaigning
against his , rival, Jer
ry Voorhiea, and Actress Helen
Gahagan Douglas in California.
On Porter and the world scene:

tion on provision that he serve 90
days in the Douglas County jail and
also to make restitution for the $j0

Linson in court blamed liquor for
his difficulties. He stated that he
"can't leave liquor alone" and said
that when drunk he gets involved

mo were polishing up their train
ing with realistic combat exercises.
A Marine has been killed and three

ed along the perimeter of the base,
these reports said.
Cuba Fears Fake Attack
Cuban authorities at Santiago,
near tiuantanamo, were said to be
concerned that the United States
was preparing a fake attack
against the big naval installation
as a pretext for armed aggression
against Cuba.
The U. S. Slate Department anked
a special six-nation committee ot
the Organization of American
States lo investigate ita charges
tnai inousanus ol tons or Soviet
bloc arms have been shipped to'
Cuba along with Communist tech
nicians to train Cubans in their,

In Moscow Tass issued an ac
count of an interview premier
Khrushchev gave Cuban newsmen'
in which the Soviet news agency
quoted the premier as saying his
promise of rocket support to Cuba
in event of American aggression
"should be considered symbolic." '
Earlier, Revolucion, the Castro'
organ, Had said Khrushchev was
asked if Soviet rockets were ready
to assist Cuba in case of need
and quoted him as answering:
"Unquestionably. But It is better
that there be no aggression, as
we will do everything possible to
avoid using our rockets."
Tass further quoted Khrushchev:
"It is essential that the imperial
ist threat of intervention against
Cuba should not materialize into'
military operations and then there i
will be no need to confirm the
reality of our statement about arm
ed assistance to the people of Cuba
against aggression."
Some Americans In Moscow
were reported believing Khrush
chev had pulled the rug slightly
from under Castro who has been
boasting about the earlier promise
of rocket aid. ,

nearby Managua military base.

in addition to army officers the
base is training 900 leaders of the
civilian militia.
