The 'New' Adlai
. We were promised, ere the current political unpleasantness
. . tot- off the ground, a "new" Adlal Stevenson, who wouldn't
od pitch his appeals to the eggheads, who were in his bag any-
way, but would talk "down to earth" to we proletarians who
earn our bread by the sweat of our numerous brows. It sound-
ea promising.
The campaign is now far enough along to assess the new
candidate, and we must say that the advance notices didn't
oversell the product. Adlai has indeed changed. He gets down
f. tp earth all right. Clear under it sometimes. For instance, take
look at this claim made Tuesday night at Jersey City, that
well known political center.
The Democratic candidate accused President Eisenhower of
' lour years of "words without action whenever human interests
were at stake,
Gosh, where has Adlai been these past three years and nine
months? He's been a world traveler part .of the time, and has
;," flitted around in airplanes much-of the remaining time. But
'"surely he comes down occasionally. He can't have been so
In completely detached from the American scene as these words
indicate, can he?
Doesn't he know about how Eisenhower stepped in and set-
tiea tne Korean war, for which Secretary of State Acheson's
..'tragic blunder had set the stage? Didn't this affect some
-''Miuman interests"? And Ike created a political climate that
f causea Americans to invest tneir money and efforts, raising
American employment and living standards to the highest
j-.-jioint in our history. Has Adlal been rich so long he doesn't
See any relationship between this and 'human Interest"?
The promotion of "human interest" by law hasn't been neg
.'lectcd either. The federal social security program has been
" greatly expanded, the mess the Department of Agriculture in-
neritea at least more than half cleaned up, surpluses disposed
of, a soil bank that really works created. The president did his
best to get federal aid for schools inaugurated and he actually
Jid more for racial integration than any of his predecessors,
who were content to talk about it.
There is no occasion for Republicans to complain about what
Adlai Stevenson is doing, for he is revealing himself as without
,a sense of responsibility, hence not at all fitted for the great
responsibilities of the presidency. That he would talk about
.'.pending the draft when this was sure lo make our foreign allies
'I'ieel that we are weakening, was an eloquent proof, either of
I'jhis complete obtuseness or of extreme recklessnss where vital
.national interests were involved. .
li"; We are Indeed seeing a "new" Adlal and it is not a pleasant
spectacle, a lone drop from the Adlai of 1952, which we still
i'.ihope is the real one, other than in campaign season. And the
retype of candidate is not new at all. The 1956 Adlal resembles
;Harry Truman s earthy technique too closely for coincidence.

J;.' Lieut. Col. Frank K. Everest, Alrforce pilot, holder of the
iworld speed record of 1,900 miles an hour, last week told the
American Rocket Society at Buffalo that man should be flying
7000 miles per hour by now. That would be at the speed of
116.6 miles per second.
- Col. Everest set his flight record in July in the Bell X-2
rocket plane. He complained of the lack of official interest
in speed flights and consequent skimping on research funds
which is holding back progress. He also made public many
details on the airforce flight program. ' '
Among the unnerving incidents of speed flights the 34-year-old
test pilot recalled three landing accidents in his early
flights, of a dangerous loss of elevator control on another
flight and of one occasion when "the pilot malfunctioned."
'The X-2 holds the altitude record of 120,000 feet, just under
, 24 miles, as well as the speed record, The altitude record was
-:set in early September, with Capt. Ivor C. Kinchloe, a Korean
jet ace, at the controls. '
, Col. Everest held that man was capable of getting to the
moon in about 10 years, but doubted the trip would be made
that soon because of lack of funds. He thought space flight
Was Important because the first country that reached the moon
Of a planet "could control the plant earth with Its capability
of launching missiles to any part of the earth." He added he
as "sure the Russians are not as technically advanced as we
are."
The test pilot's account of his Bell X-2 altitude flight was the
first time it has been officially released. In the first glide
flight a sister ship was destroyed in an explosion over Niagara
Falls area in August 5, 1954. On this and two subsequent
glide tests Col. Everett said he ground-looped in landing be
cause of a faulty nose-wheel. He himself spoiled one of the
powered flights.

loi Allen J. Ellender Sr. of Lou
isiana has been severely criti
cized for describing foreign bene
ficiaries of American economic
aid as "bloodsuckers," although
he denies having used that pre.
cisc word. But this powerful
member of the Senate Appropria-
lions Committee has returned
from a foreign inspection tour as
an avowed advocate of ending or
curtailing an operation that has
cost us more than $50 billion in
the postwar period.
Ellenders proposal has re
ceived strong support from a sur
prising quarter in the person of
George V. Allen, a career diplo
mat for 25 years who is now am
bassador to Greece. In a recent
address, he said: ,

remarked that the time had come
"for rational Christian reform
workers to deal with young men
as human beings, and not as de
generates or angels.
Tweed and broadcloth coats for
ladies had a price of from $7.50

Portland Railway Light & Power
Co. had started laying new 72
pound street car rails on Cheme-
keta street.
A Capital Journal columnist, had
remarked that the University of
Oregon was to have a girl's foot
ball team. His comment had been,
if the youngsters can kick as
hard as some of their married fel
low women, they will break the
record as punters."
Foreign Aid Will Be Cut Sharply
These two statements from
such significant sources provide
fairly good assurance that the
next administration and Con
gress, regardless of the Novem
ber 6 outcome, will act to re
duce sharply this costly and
seemingly ineffective venture.
The prospective saving of several
billions a year will permit gen
erous tax cuts and reductions of
the swollen public debt.
Neither President Eisenhower
nor Adlai E. Stevenson has
brought this issue into the cam
paign, and it is unlikely that they
will introduce it. Neither Ike nor
his opponent wants to offend
Eastern internationalists and "lib
erals," to seem to take a McCar-thy-Jenncr
"isolationist" stand, or
to open themselves to the accusa
tion of backing down in the "cold
war" against Russia.
But both have reason to know
that it i sa question uppermost

PRINCETON, N. J. On what
the public itself regards as the
Number One problem facing the
country the question of foreign
policy and keeping the peace Re
publican party comes up with its
biggest advantage today over the
Democratic party. v
More than twice as many voters
think the Republicans would be
more likely to keep the United
States out of World War III than
think the Democrats would.
On three other major problems
which are being widely debated in
the present campaign, it s a pretty
even story the Democrats have a
slight edge in the minds of voters
as the party that can best keep
the country prosperous and also do
the best job of keeping prices
down during the next four years.
When it comes to the question
of which party can do the best job
of reducing taxes, the result is a
virtual draw.
As reported by the Institute last
week, nearly half, or 46 per cent
of the voters across the country
put foreign policy and keeping the
peace at the top ol the list of im
portant problems facing America
today.
With the political pot beginning
to boil, the Institute assigned its
nationwide scries of questions to
voters to find out what they think
of the major parties today:
1. "Which political party do you
think would be more likely to keep
the United States out of World War

WASHINGTON UV-Eithcr Pres
ident Eisenhower is mad at Adlai
Stevenson for needling him or he
has decided to fight harder.
What's happening now is begin
ning to look like a repetition of
1952.
Yesterday was the first chance
Eisenhower had to hit back since
Stevenson ridiculed him last week.
Stevenson must have stung. Ei
senhower poured sarcasm on Stev
enson. The two men belittled each
other as a leader.
And Eisenhower is beginning to
use some ot the very woros
"bunk." for instance he threw
at the Democrats when he got
fired up in the 1952 campaign.
In the early days of the 1952
race Mevenson, a much wittier
man In those days, repeatedly
jibed at Eisenhower, calling him
a "me. too" candidate and other
wise making light of him.
At last Eisenhower boiled over.
Sweeping across Indiana in mid-
September l'.b2 he made one
speech after another complaining
about Stevenson s humor. He told
the crowds:
"I can't be amusing In this bus
iness. These are not laughing
matters on which we are speaking
. . . now as we face the issues of
this campaign I sec nothing funny
about them."
Stevenson replied that he was
just saying what came naturally
As the campaign picked uo
speed. Eisenhower identified Stev
enson with President Truman,
calling them the Siamese twins.
And he said: "This has been some
campaign. The present incumbent
(Truman) and his protege have
assailed me with the greatest col
lection of flim-flamming accusa
lions made in any campaign."
BunK was one of hu favorite
words for what the Democrats
were saying. He said they were

Criticizes Republicans
For Refusal to Debate
My two favorite pieces of read
ing material are the Wall Street
Journal and the New Republic
magazine. Editorially they are
generally poles apart.- The Wall
Street Journal expresses the con
servative outlook and the' New
Republic a very liberal view. Both
present their respective views log
ically and forcefully, and I find it
most interesting to see that now
and then they 'agree. In a recent
editorial the .Wall Street Journal
said:
Where there is a clash of views,
it is not enough that differences
should be stated: arguments ought
to be debated, rebutted and re-
rebutted until every conceivable
point is raised and answered. Even
on the highest intellectual level
this is impossible unless the debate
is both comprehensive ana vigor
our." " ' "
The New Republic has often pre
sented the same theme.
It is a serious but very proper
indictment against so many Re
publican candidates, their lauure
to debate the issues. Governor
Elmo Smith refuses to debate with
Bob Holmes; Walter Norblad re
fuses to debate with Jason Lee.
The demand that candidates de
bate the issues is not a matter of
conservative or liberal outlook, it
is a matter of political duty that
citizens have a right to demand
of all candidates. It seems to me
that when a man refuses to meet
his ooponent in debate he flippant
ly violates that solemn duty and
at the same time gives a rather
tacit acknowledgment that he is
afraid to discuss the issues with
his opponent because he cannot
justify his record. This indictment
I think especially stands against
Elmo Smith and Walter Norblad.

for he has decided to campaign
harder.
There is little wit in Stevenson
this year. The light touch is all
but gone. And even Truman, who
didn't think much of Stevenson as
a campaigner before the Demo
cratic convention, has praised him
for his new give em hell ap
proach.
Touches of ridicule for Eisen
hower crept into Stevenson's
speeches early this year. On Sept
22 and 23 he said "I respect the
kindly intentions of President Ei
senhower" and that he was "will
ing to believe" Eisenhower didn't
understand what he was saying
when he talked of the farm prob
lem in 1952.
Then he added he suspects Ei
senhower of "political expedien
cy" in dealing with the farmers
this year. On Sept. 26 at Kansas
City he made his most scornful
attack on Eisenhower so far.
After accusing Eisenhower of
failure to live up lo his "respon
sibility of leadership," Stevenson
said: In fact, many Dcoole have
wondered how much President
Eisenhower has had to do with the
Eisenhower administration. Some
times the President seemed to
wonder himself ...
"There is only one question to
be asked about the Eisenhower
administration. That is: 'Who's in
charge here anyway?' Who, in
this businessman's administration I
keeps the store?"
Yesterday Eisenhower u-ent ni
Ohio and Kentucky and made two
speeches. He didn't mention Stev
enson by name, but there could be
no doubt whom he meant when he
said:
no au Know mai mere are
people who suffer from living in a !
world of words and phrases for so
long that they ean no longer rec

"And when It comes to a real

daily lives: The longest lectures'

ent voters the "in-betweeners" in
U. S. politics today believe that
the GOP can best preserve the
peace. On the other three issues,

vided in their appraisal of the abil

The vote of Independents today:
PEACE: Republicans best 36 per
cent. Democrats 11 per cent, no
difference 25 per cent, no opinion
28 per cent.
PROSPERITY: Republicans best
28 per cent, Democrats 27 per cent,
no difference 19 per cent, no opin
ion 26 per cent.
"PRICES: Republicans best 21
per cent, Democrats 19 per cent,
no difference 35 per cent, No opin
ion 25 per cent.
TAXES: Republicans best 21 per
cent. Democrats 19 per cent, no
difference 37 per cent, no opinion
23 per cent.
