Sen. Nixon Says
Adlai Unsuitable
EN ROUTE WITH NIXON,
Oct. 14 HP) Sen. Richard Nixon
carried his campaign into Michi
gan Tuesday with the chances
that Gov. Adlai Stevenson Is "not
suitable for the office of Presi
dent." The Republican vice presiden
tial candidate opened his Michi
gan tour with a 20-minute talk at
Midland, whose City Council pro
claimed Tuesday as Nixon Day In
honor of the first major-party
candidate for President 'or vice
president ever to visit the city.
Nixon told an enthusiastic
crowd estimated by police at 5,000
that the "Truman-Acheson" for
eign policy has "cost America its
world leadership in the last sev
en years." -:. . C,
r -lv.f ;'; Not Suitable
He said the Democratic presi
dential candidate is "not suitable
for the office of President be
cause of his pledge to continue
that policy." Nixon also accused
Stevenson of using unwise Judg
ment in the Alger Hiss case and
being blind to Communist threats.
"We need an ail-American team
to throw out the Truman Demo
crats who put the Reds in Wash
ington," -he said. "We need a man
like Dwight D. Eisenhower who
will not be fooled by the Commu
nists or by Stalin." ,
The California senator, accom
panied by his wife, was greeted
by about 75 persons when his
chartered plane landed at Trl
City Airport near Midland at 1:55
a. m. . '
All Facts Known
Nixon, in his first nationwide
radio-television appearance since
defending his use of an $18,000
expense fund, said at New York
Monday ; night that Stevenson,
Democratic presidential nominee,
backed Hiss at a time when all
the facts In the State Department
official's case were known. . -. .
The youthful Republican vice
presidentiah nominee said that
Stevenson, therefore, was unfit to
be President because of his fail
ure to recognize the Communist
threat at home.
k At the same time, Nixon made
It plain he was not questioning
Stevenson's loyalty.

The Soviets were replying to an
American note of Oct. 8 rejecting
Moscow's charges as invalid. ,.
"Entirely Groundless"
The reply said the American con
tention that Kennan' had only "ac
curately and in moderate lan
guage" described the isolation of
Western diplomats in .Moscow was
"in crude contrast to reality and
Is enUrely groundless." .-. ,
"This arbitrary assertion repre
sents an unfounded attempt to jus
tify the mendacious statement hos
tile to the Soviet Union made by
the former u. s. ambassador to
the U.S.S.R.. Mr. Kennan," .the
brief reply said.
Although the Soviet note referred
to Kennan as the "former" Ameri
can ambassador to Moscow, the
United States still regards him as
accredited to the Soviet Union and
refuses; to take the formal step
of "recalling" him. -
Persona Non Grata , ' ,
However, there is no w a y in
which the United States can return
Kennan to , Moscow now that the
Soviet Union has 'declared him

Kennan at present' is in Bonn,-
Germany, and American sources
expect him to remain there, at
least for the rest of the year, as a
special adviser to the State De
partment on Soviet affairs.
The Soviet demand for Kennan's
recall stemmed from a statement
he made at a press conference on
his arrival in Berlin from Moscow
SeDt. 19 on his way to an American
diplomatic 'conference in- London.

Eisenhower devoted the first or
a two-day swing through pivotal
Texas to one of his strongest ap
peals for the States Rights votes
of insurgent Democrats.
As Eisenhower praised the peo
ple of Texas for their independence
of political influence from such
Democratic machines as the Pen-
flegrast organization in Kansas
City. Mo., he injected In his pre
oared speech his newest distinction
between liberals and reactionaries.
,'The true modern reactionary is
a man who wants to concentrate
Dower In Washington while the true
liberal is a man who wants a dif
fusion of that power," he said.
The Republican presidential can
didate said that "preservation of
law and order, the elbow room to
produce and build, protection of
our titles to land, the sacredness
of our homes from instrusion, our
right to get the best schooling for
our children" had all been secured
through state and local govern

It was the biggest Allied assault

"It'sa very difficult hill toclimb,

The exact size of the enemy

However, officers estimated ,it at
company size about 200 men.
"The Chinese were ferocious,"
said one infantryman. "Just like
the Japanese in the last war. The
men had to go in the holes to get
them and kill them. They weren't

As fast as one of the Chinese

"I have always felt that the title

He said Stevenson "wants to
take over the Tidelands and dole
out to the" stater whatever Wash
ington decides you ought to have.
"That Isn't what I call a fair
shake. I call it a shakedown," he
said.
The Tidelands Issue has already
driven many of Texas' leading
Democrats out of Stevenson's camp
and led them to endorse the Repub

Eisenhower was obviously out to
capitalize on the dissatisfaction in
the hone of winning the state's big

He said his advisers had told
him Texas was "in the bag" for
