These messages were a drop In the bucket, however, to the total Western Union expects to deliver. G. P. Harris, superintendent of the Western Union office here, said more than 30,000 telegrams had been received at 8 a. m. OST and that the "extremely heavy flow from all over the country" snuwea no signs oi siacKuig off. Harris said the total "could very well reach 100,000 by night fall." He said it might ultimately exceed the total received here In April, 1951, when President Tru man fired Gen. Douglas MacAr thur as Far Eastern supreme commander. Then, over a period of several days, Western Union handled "ap proximately 125,000" telegrams sent to the White House and members of Congress about Mac Arthur, Harris said. ' Hood said "the people are talk ing and have talked" through the outpouring of telegrams from all over the country. He thinks Eisenhower will "re act" to that demonstration and to the dramatic presentation by the young Californian Tuesday night and retain Nixon as his running mate. Wesley Roberts, the GOP Na tional Committee's director of or ganization, told newsmen that an alysis of the first telegrams to reach National Headquarters. Tuesday night, showed that about 4,000 were in favor of Nixon and 21 were against. Roberts called it a "magnificent demonstration" from all sections of the country from city and ru ral areas alike. Mercury Climbs To' 92 Tuesday Bend yesterday experienced one of its hottest September days in history when the mercury climb ed to 92 degrees under a cloudless sky. It was Bend's 10th consecu tive day of summer heat, with daily temperature in that period ranging above 80 degrees. , Several times in past years, September temperature has climbed above the 90 degree mark, but practically all of the high readings were recorded early in the month. Highest September temperature ever recorded here was 94 degrees, in 1934. That mark was reached early in the month. As a result of the warm, arid weather, the fire danger in the Central Oregon woods is believed to be the most serious of the season. The Bend area has been without moisture for more than two weeks. The temperature appeared to be soaring high into the eighties in Bend again this afternoon, with fair and warm weather ex pected to continue through Thurs day. From Portland today came in formation that weather forecasts call for cooler weather Friday, with light frosts forecast for the lower ground sections toward the end of the week.

CUTTER ABOARD EISENHOWER SPE CIAL, Sept. 24 ilfi Dwlght D. t-isennower neaaea lor Wheeling, W. Va., Wednesday for a face-to-face meeting with Richard M. Nixon to decide If Nixon can stay in me race ior vice president. All indications pointed to Eis enhower's intention to keep Nix on but the retired general said he wanted a face-to-face talk with the California senator before making his final decision. Eisenhower himself threw away a prepared speech In Cleveland Tuesday night to declare he was impressed with Nixons courage in a radio-television speech in which Nixon bared his personal unanciai attalrs. , Today the general said he . was swamped with "I like Dick" telegrams as top Republicans voiced their approval of keep ing Nixon on the ticket. Developments in the Nixon af fair came fast aboard the train and in top Republican circles else where following the California senator's public discussion of his financial affairs and Eisenhower's invitation to Nixon to meet him in Wheeling toight. Phone Call Made Eisenhower left the train In Portsmouth for a telephone call to. Arthur Summerfield,sR8publl. can national-committee chairman in Cleveland. Summerfield said immediately afterward he was "certain" Nixon would stay on the ticket. Aboard the train, Gov. Sherman Adams of New Hampshire, the chief of staff of Eisenhower's campaign, said arrangements for the meeting Wednesday might have been completed. Adams, how ever, gave no further details of the meeting. Eisenhower stuck by Nixon in Cleveland Tuesday night where he threw away a prepared speech to praise his courage. However, he mentioned the Nixon affair on ly once Wednesday morning as he "whistle stopped" across south eastern Ohio into Western Vir ginia. Many Telegrams His mention of Nixon came at Portsmouth, O. He said he nor mally received many telegrams when his campaign train slopped but he doubted he would get any Wednesday as the Western Union people said they were "swamped with 'I like Dick' " telegrams. Republican National H e a d quarters in Washington, mean while, announced that it was re ceiving a flood of telegrams, 98 per cent of which approved of Nixon's staying on the ticket. Eisenhower, in stops at Chilli- cothe, Portsmouth, and Ironton in Ohio plugged for the election of a Republican tlckot nnd Con gress this fall. He called "for a top to bottom cleanout of the mess In Washington." Eisenhower used an ordinary pay station telephone in Ports mouth for his eight-minute talk with Summerfield. The light wouldn't work and he talked in semi-darkness. James C. Hagerty, the general's press secretary, told reporters aboard the Eisenhower train af terward that Summerfield was working out, or trying to work out, a meeting In Wheeling Wed nesday night as requested by the general. i;onrerence ct In Wheeling, Warren L. Steph enson, Republican national com mitteeman for the state, said that he was advised by Republican of ficials in Cleveland to arrange a iolnt oress conference for Eisen hower and Nixon after Wednes day night's Wheeling speech by Elsennower amp. m. i-ai.

CENTRAL OREGON'S DESCHUTES CCUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1952 Decli Answers m ! ' ' SEN. RICHARD NIXON , . . . Gave Lie to Attempted Smear Residents of Bend Applaud Nixon's Forfhright Repprt ' v By Staff Members ' Senator Richard Nixon's cjra matic speech to the American people lust night was the turning point in the Republican presiden tial campaign, in the opinion of a vast majority of Bend residents, who were talking of little else today. Only a handful of die-hard Demo crats still voiced their skepticism of the value of the Nixon radio address to the Elsenhower and Nix on cause, and even these few with held acrimonious comment. A cross-section of conversation heard about Bend streets today was overwhelmingly in favor of the retention on the Republican ticket of California's Junior sena tor, who bared his most intimate personal financial problems in his drama-packed radio address. Following are just a few of the expressions voiced here today: tilenn II. fin-cit: "Senator Nixon proved definitely that he is a tighter who refuses to ouit even in the face of the vicious political attacks to which he was subjected. He proved himself every inch a worthy American and an admir able running mate for General Eisenhower." Dr. (Jriint Skinner: "In view of Senator Nixon's clear and frank statement regarding the receipt and disposal ' of that money fur nished by a groun of patriotic and sympathetic Cnlifoinians, Republi cans universally have a right to be proud of his selection on the na tional ticket. If the Republican Na tional Committee should now turn him down, the party In my judg ment, deserves to lose. K. (I. Cmickshnnk Unques tionably. Senator Nixon comoletely vindicated himself, ills talk was so honest and straightforward, he has won the respect of all Ameri cans. E. L. Nielsen: "In challenging Governor Stevenson and Senator Sparkman to bare their personal finances so comoletely and frankly. Senator Nixon deserves the plaud its of the American people. reR.ird less of party. It was the finest thing he could do." Leonard T. Staiullfrr: "Senator Nixon's dramatic radio talk proved that hp is on his toes and ready to fiaht. He proved his couraco and his honesty when h" refused to back away in the thick oi a political attark. He proved him self the sort of man we need back ! there in Washington with General Eisenhower. Duncan L. McKay: "Senator Nixon's, talk was one of the most heart-tearing talkR I have ever! heard. In my judgment, it is a disgrace to the American political svstem that a man of the stature of Dick Nixon has to bare his life as he was forced to do lat night. He provpd himself everv Inch the sort of fighter this country needs ! in these perilous times." ) Lloyd o. Abrams: "Honstv ot the sort shown bv Senator Nixon, last night Is the sort we have need ed In government for a long time. Both Mrs. Abrams and myself; were thrilled by hn frank and BULLETIN DAILY NEWSPAPER kn nes liNionoini s Charges honest statements. If possible, we are for him stronger today than ever before. , District Attorney E. O, SUiilter: "Senator Nixon did himself and the party a world of good. Because of his frank and forthright state ment or indisputable tacts, ne con vinced the American people of his honesty and sincerity." Ray LeHlunc: "Americans havo every reason to rejoice in the knowledge that a man of Senator Nixon's honesty and frankness is available for the second highest political office In the land. In run ning down communism In govern ment he has long since proved his worth. We need a man like Dick Nixon." Mrs. R. M. Yates, a tourist from Billings, Montana: "I am a Demo crat, but after I listened to Sena tor Nixon over the radio last night, I became a Republican so far as this presidential campaign is con cerned. I admire a man who is so frank and honest andt sincere. That's Just the type we need back there in Washington." The Rev. Stanley G. flunsten: "With his honesty and simplicity of statement, Mr. Nixon undoubted ly won many new votes for the Republican ticket. You have to ad mire a man like that. He made It clear that definitely, leadership In government should not be restrict ed to the rich." A. O, Schilling: "Nixon presented the whole picture, In a forthright manner, and he has an audit to support it. I can't sec where he has done anything wrong. A dis honest man couldn't have made a speech like that." Deschutes county democrats who attended the dinner for John G. Jones, party nominee for rep resentative from the second Ore gon district, were among atten tive listeners to the Nixon broad cast. The dinner was held In the Eagles hall, and was received over a small set on the main desk. When the broadcast started at 6:30, the volume was Increased and many of the group gathered around and quietly listened. About 0:45 there was a noisy local Interference with the broad cast. However, the group contin ued to listen until Jones, who reached the hall somewhat be hind schedule, arrived. Busy greeting local friends, Jones did not listen to the broadcast. Finally, at 6:40 when the din er program was about readv to get underway. Joe Peterson, Bend, turned off the receiving set. There were few comments rela tive to the broadcast from per sons In the group of some 70 persons. i But up and down the Bend streets today, there were plenty of comments. nracHrally all of them praMng Nlxnn for hli talk. Carl A. Johnson, long time resi dent of Kend, was among the many who were found on their i wav to and from the Western Union station.

In an emotional 30-mlnute talk, Nixon told a nationwide radio and television audience that he did not believe he should quit. "I don't believe I ought to quit because I am not a quitter," ho said. His appeal brought an immedi ate response from Eisenhower. "Your presentation was magnl ficlent," Elsenhower wired Nixon from Cleveland.

"Every penny of It was used to pay for political expenses Mutt I did not think ' should be charged to the taxpay ers ot the united states." The No, 2 man on the .GOP ticket said that none of the 76 con tributors to the fund ever once asked him for a favor during the two years It was supplied him. Nixon said he did not want to quit but added the decision was not his. Committee Decision , "I would do nothing that would harm the possibilities ot Dwlght Eisenhower to become President of the United States and for that reason I am submitting to the Re publican National Committee the decision which is theirs to make.

Wire nnd write the Republican National Committee whether you think I should s t a y or whether I should get off: and whatever their de cision is, I will abide by It." Eisenhower, however, said In his telegram to Nixon:. . "While technically no decision rests with me, you nnd I know that the realities of the situation will require a personal pro nouncement which so far as the public Is concerned will be con sidered decisive."

No. 247 eimgo Use of 'Gifts' Said Essential By Stevenson By MKKRIMAN SMITH BALTIMORE, Md Sept. 24 (in Gov Adlai E. Stevenson flatly rejected Wednesday Sen. Richard M. Nixon's demand that he dis close the' names of Illinois state officials whose salaries he aug mented with cash gifts. But at the same time Stevenson defended the practice as one nec essary to obtain and hold the ser vices of men of "outstanding abil ity" in government. :. Nbcon, In explaining to the na tion his own acceptance of an $18,235 expense allowance Tues day night, challenged the Demo cratic nominee to make public the names of Illinois officials . whose salaries, have been aug mented, a step Stevenson had ad mitted. . The Democratic presidential nominee told a meeting of volun- teer campaign workers that he saw "no purpose in disclosing tho names of the persons or ttiu amounts" Involved. ' ' 'Undeserved Publicity" To do so, he said, would give them "undeserved publicity" and would be a "breach of faith on my part." . .-, ,. ,',. . . Stevenson explained also tint he, while governor, had "adopt ed a practice of making gifts around Christmas time to a small number of stale em-' ployes" whom he regarded as underpaid. ; ; '. These men, he said, had been recruited Irom private Industry where, In most cases, they en Joyed higher salaries and mora secure future than - in, govern ment service. The money for the "gifts," Ste venson said, came from campaign funds and from contributions made "from time to time." . Identities Secret He said that no donor to tho fund knew "the Identity of those to whom" gifts were made. He said that no official receiving a "gift" knew the identity of other officials obtaining the same bene fit. The amounts paid Individuals were not disclosed, he said, The practice, Stevenson said, had resulted in obtaining the services of a group of men whose "Integrity and loyalty" were the equal of any in gov-. eninient. Former Sen. C. Wayland Brooks of Illinois strongly criti cized Stevenson's action' and Nix on demanded a full accounting. Stevenson told the breakfast meeting of several hundred cam paign workers that "adequate compensation Is a pressing need" for good government. He did not mention the number of state em ployes who were aided by the gifts. But he said It was a "small number," - ' ; . Given' Applause V When Stevenson concluded his explanation there was a sharp and prolonged burst of applause from his campaign workers. Stevenson delivered a major address on economic policy Tues day night before a capacity au dience of 9.000 In Baltimore's Fifth Regiment Armory.
