'Corruption Must
End, 9 Eisenhower
ion Meet
Tells Les
(Story also on page one)
NEW YORK (TVGen. Dwight D. Eisenhower told cheering dele
gates to .the American Legion convention Monday he aims to "end
corruption in public office, at every level of government.'
The Republican Presidential nominee struck out vigorously at the
climate of fear" he said overhangs the American preparedness pro
gram as it has been directed by the Truman administration.
"Those airaia sees security m
heedless extravagance that breeds
waste of substance and corruption
of men," he declared.
He drew his biggest applause
from a crowd of about 16,000 per
sons, which failed to fill Madison
Square Garden, with the asser
tion: ...
-Let us end corruption in public
oflice, at every level of govern
ment. In world opinion and in
world effectiveness, the United
States is measured by the -moral
firmness of its public officials.
Any preoccupation with their own
profits, with selfish schemes for
personal aggrandizement or parti
san advantage is undermining
America's strength."
A
Stevenson Next J'.
On a platform to be occupied
two days hence by his Democratic
rival. Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois, Eisenhower linked the
corruption-in-government issue
with a call for vigorous new for
eign policy moves.
As in the past, Eisenhower par
aphrased much of the text hand
ed out in advance to newsmen.
But he stuck to the theme that
this country must tell the world,
including the Kremlin, that it will
not rest until the Communist-en
slaved peoples of Eastern Europe
and Aisia are free again.
He said that while this nation
is in grave peril, he does not be
lieve the Russians are ready to
fight and war wil not come soon
unless 'it is by accident of the
powderkeg variety.
Wears Lesion Cap
Eisenhower, who wore an Abi
lene, Kans., American Legion cap
as he spoke, was greeted with
loud cheers and shouts of "We
Want Ike" when he arrived with
Mrs. Eisenhower. He was inter
rupted : 18 times by applause in
the course of a 30-minute talk.
Eisenhower, who earlier in the
ray had been assured by Gov. Al
fred E. Driscoll that he will carry
New Jersey, told the Legion dele
gates he was not making a political
speech.
But Eisenhower obviously was
taking advantage of the opportun
ity to develop publicly a substi
tute foreign policy for the Demo
cratic administration's program he
had criticized as failing to go be
yond the mere containment of Com
munism within its sprawling pres
ent borders.
Editorial Demand
The speech came at a time when
-signs of restiveness among his sup
porters brough a blunt editorial
demand from S c r i p p s-Howard
Newspapers for an active start in
bis campaigning.
He was greeted Monday with a
front page editorial in the New
, York World-Telegram and Sun, en
titled "Ike, When do we Start?"
The Scripps-Howard papers sup
porting Eisenhower's candidacy,
said an exchange of correspond
ence by the men who work for 19
of their papers from coast to coast
can be summed up in. on sentence
"Ike is running like a dry
creek." ,
Not Campaigning
The editorial said Eisenhower's
"little milk-and-water remarks" at
news conferences and in speeches
can't be classified as campaign
ing, adding the hope that "when he
does start campaigning, he will
come out swinging and that he, will
hit hard.'
"We are continuing our support,'
unshaken in our faith in Gen. Ei
senhower's qualifications, but we
. must admit that Ike has not done
anything lately to fortify our be
lief that he can win.
Eisenhower was reported to have
told visitors he had deliberately
kept his campaign in low gear up
through : Monday s speech, which
.was billed as "non-political."
The Republican nominee was un
derstood to be planning to start
campaigning intensively within a
few days.
To March In Parade
There was no immediate reac
tion from Eisenhower headquar-
ters. which announced tentative
plans for a visit to New Jersey
, Tuesday had been dropped to per
mit the general to march with the
Kansas delegation in the Ameri
can Legion parade here.
Efforts were reported underway
lo bring Taft and Eisenhower to
gether nere this week lor a con
ference on the role the Ohioan
will play in the general election
campaign.
The Cleveland, O., News said it
had learned Taft will agree to
campaign for Eisenhower only of
the general's views and those of
Taft coincide on certain "major
issues."
In his Legion speech, Eisenhow
er made it clear that while he be
lieves the United States is in
greater peril than at any time in
our history," he feels there is still
time to counter the Russian threat
He said the infiltration of the
Communists into Asia came in a
dismal decade of false starts,
fractional measures, loud policies
and faint deeds.':
Developing this attack on the
Truman administration polices, he
called for an end to the climate
of fear and hysteria" he said hangs
like a shadow over the prepared
ness program. ,
Eisenhower said Communist ag
ents are everywhere, adding:.
"Indeed, although we must say
it in sadness and shame, as well
as in anger, they have succeeded
in penetrating our own ranks, even
at tunes into the government.
