York headquarters Saturday after telling a cheering Dixieland crowd the Truman ad ministration has abandoned the principles of Thomas Jefferson, father of the Democratic Party. The Republican presidential nominee wound up a 6,915-mile campaign tour that was climaxed Friday by an Invasion of the "Solid South" in an effort to serving traditionally Democratic votes into the Republican column in November. ; Elsenhower shrugged off his first campaign mishap, which came at Richmond, Va., Friday night when temporary wooden stands collapsed under the weight of a crowd that surged toward him at the end of his speech. The general -fell down but wasn t hurt. He told newsmen today when his special train rolled Into Penn sylvania station at 5:05 a. m. E. S. T. that "I feel fine" and "it's good to be In New York." The general left the railroad station in a limousine for his home on Mornlngside Drive near Columbia university. Mrs. Eisen hower, however, remained aboard the train. An aide said- she was feeling fine and merely had de cided to sleep late. Eisenhower had no major ap pointments scheduled for the week end and planned to rest be fore resuming his campaign. ' Charges Made He charged in Richmond Fri day night before-a crowd esti mated by police at more than 12,000 that the Truman adminis tration and "big city bosses" have corrupted the Democratic Party Into "downright crookedness." At the finish of his address, part of the temporary wooden stands on the state capitol steps collapsed. Eisenhower and six other persons fell down about six feet but none was Injured. Eisenhower got up, brushed himself and then flashed his char acteristic grin. "I'm glad nobody was hurt," he said. - His next trip opens Tuesday with a flight to Columbia, S. C, under the auspices of Gov. James P. Byrnes, one-time administra tion stalwart who has endorsed the Republican nominee. Byrd Praised Last night's charge that the Democrats have abandoned Jet fersonian principles, accompanied with warm praise for Sen. Harry f- Byrd of Virginia, was aimed Jt luring more southern strength from the Democrats and into the GOP column. Elsenhower compared Byrd with Jefferson, and said "It would feem that the party of Jefferson has more accurate care here in Virginia under the leadership of Its senior senator than it docs In Washington." Byrd has refused to endorse Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, and did not show up when the Democratic nominee spoke In Richmond last Week. The Virginian, one of the loaders of the congressional bloc, has long been at odds with the administration. Eisenhower's aides were elated ' what they considered big gains made on this leg of the candi date's campaign.

They had discussed tnose at a commission meeting yes terday at the City Hall. The young people yesterday made recommendations regarding trainc, made a plea for a local youth, center, and went on record as favoring a new foot bridge of rustic design, at the location of the present span in Drake park. Fluoridation and city water supply-problems came in for discus sion, too, and the young people learned that the fluoridation pro posal will be submitted to the voters this fall, and that plans are under way for constructing a new 5,000-gallon reservoir on Awbrey butte, to augment the present two 1500-gallon reservoirs there. Charles Austin, high school senior (and mayor for the day, conducted the commission meeting and read a list of proposals pre pared by the social economics class at the high school. When Volney Sigmund, city at torney, also a senior, asked about the possibility of a city youth cen ter, Fire Chief Vernon Carlon re ported that only the day before a representative from the state fire marshal's office had inspected the Cashman building on the northwest corner of Wall street and Oregon President Truman to Launch His Whistle-Stopper Today WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 (U.E) Veteran whistle-stopper Harry Truman will embark Saturday night on what may be his last great political effort, a coast-to-coast tour in behalf of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson. The President will travel through 24 states. He'll stop in 16 to deliver 87 speeches, at least 10 of them classified as "major."

T. Thompson, city recorder. The petition de mands that the recorder be com pelled to Issue a building permit in order that an addition might be constructed to the church building at the corner of Franklin avenue and Harrlman street. The complaint sets forth that the church acquired the property and constructed the church in 1912, and that the city, in 1947, adopted a zoning ordinance put ting certain restrictions on the construction of buildings In that area which is classified as a residential zone. One of these restrictions to which the plaintiff objects is that in any new construction In the area- there must be at least 25 feet of space between the rearof the building and the lot line The construction of the proposed ad ji.inn in the church building would be a violation of this sec tion of the zoning oramanrc. The complaint further states that if a beer parlor, night club .i ......... a Ka oiwihI. or dance nan vrat i" ..--.--. this restriction as to space be tween the building and lot line would not apply. . The plaintiff states the church has outgrown its present building and the addition Is sorely needed properly to carry on the regular functions of the church, and asks .u. .k. m,rt hniu Issue a writ of mandamus compelling the city to Issue the requested permit in order that construction opera tions might get under way.

Sigmund explained that local .high school students, with the assistance of a eroiro of adults had been trying' to set up a youth center for . all young people of the community. , A building is what we need first of all, and now we're right back where we started," he said. Bill Baer, senior, acting police chief, brought chuckles from the grownups when he asked the fire chief to request an inspection of the high school gymnasium, on the next visit of a representative from the fire marshal's office. Carlon said that indeed, in all seriousness, he would carry out the request, but warned that the fire marshal has no authority to order the school board to build a new gymnasium. Leonard Andis, senior, acting city engineer, brought up the sub jects of courtesy tickets for tourist motorists, and a new Drake park footbridge. After a lengthy discus sion of the lajfer subject, the; young commIssion'ers"decided mat a fcfot bridge with concrete piers and treated lumber span, stained brown to fit in with the park setting, would be satisfactory. Almost with out exception, the youngsters were opposed to a bridge with steel posts, like the new traffic bridge at the Newport avenue location. Gary Slate, seventh grader at Allen, commissioner, stated that another1 bridge' with log supports (Continued on Page o Sunday night, Oct. 12, weeks hence. Besides beating the drums for Stevenson, Mr. Truman undoubt edly will take the offensive against Republican presidential nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower, who has charged the administration with corruption, subversion, bungling and fostering inflation. Liken Best It's the kind of campaigning the President likes best and the kind at which he proved himself a mas ter four years ago when he whistle stopped around the country in be half of his own candidacy. Margaret Truman will travel with her father, but Mrs. Truman will stay behind. This will be the mont extensive, but not the first, of Mr. Truman's efforts for Stevenson.
