The White House announcement of the President's plans came yes terday shortly after his Demo cratic opponent, Adlai Stevenson, left Chicago by plane for Los Angeles for a major speech today at the American Legion conven tion. However, campaign schedules were temporarily eclipsed yester day when James C. Hagerty, Ei senhower's press secretary, said Democrats "seem to welcome and look for isolated instances of mis ery among the American people" for partisan reasons. Excerpt Showa He showed reporters an excerpt from the New York Times last Sunday which quoted Stevenson as saying "all the news is good," and linked this with another Ste venson comment about "serious unemployment" in some areas. Hagerty was immediately chal lenged by Democratic leaders, and the Times issued a statement in which it said the account rep resented an "inversion" of Steven son's remarks, and was "unfair" to him. The newspaper said it would publish the full statement made by Stevenson at a news confer ence in Chicago last Friday.
