Page 2 Section 1 Stevenson Cheered in Harlem; Nixon Assails Draft End Call 10,000 Hail Adlai Boast on Demos' Aid to Negro By JAMES DEVLIN ' NEW YORK UV-Adlai Steven si ,i was buoyed today by a cheer ing reception from Negroes in civil l:5hts-conscious Harlem. The Democratic presidential nominee headed (or the second World Series game in Brooklyn with confidence in his camp that lie had surmounted a possibly crit ical juncture in his campaign. His supporters rega-ded Harlem police tention their erat In the White House. They applauded also when he accused Republicans of a "braz en" attempt "to seize partisan credit for progress In civil rights." The outdoor rally last night was open to all comers, friends or foes of the Democratic ticket. But if any of those attending erc unfriendly, they were silent. Reporters covering t h e event heard no boos or jeers or any un friendly remarks. Loudest applause came when Stevenson reiterated previous as sertions that "I support this de- . cislon" of the Supreme Court nil' ins segregation in public schools unlawful. He quoted President Eisenhower as having said of the decision: 1 think it makes no difference whether or not I endorse it." At another point, Stevenson said Eisenhower has been "presented with an opportunity for great na tional leadership in this field" and had been "virtually silent." Stevenson said Elsenhower last Monday credited Republicans with ending segregation In Ihc armed forces, but that an executive or der Issued by President Truman in 194" "sounded the death knell" of such segregation, Stevenson said the order was is sued despite testimony by Elsen hower, then chief of staff, before a congressional committee that complete desegregation In the armed forces would "get us 'Into trouble'." "I don't," said Stevenson,' "mind the President's trying to make off in broad daylight with the Democratic platform he al ways returns It right alter election day anyway but he better slop trying to run on the Democratic record. The Democrat, said the Repub- , llcans claimed credit for stopping discrimination in employment by government contractors but that actually "all they did was to con tlnue the work by the Fair Em ployment Practices Commission" under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. N He said the Republicans also claimed credit' for ending segrega tion In the District of Columbia. He laid "the case which, meant the end of segregation in many public places in the District was initiated at the time President Truman was In office and while Mr. Eisenhower was still a pri vate citizen." Alter the rally, Stevenson drove to the Savoy Ballroom where he was a guest at a reception given by a group of Negro businessmen.

Duchess Soys Marriage Has Lacked Spats NEW YORK (UP)-The woman whose love lor a king once rocked an empire says that hers has been a "marvelous" marriage without a spat in its nearly 20 years. "David and 1 have a marvelous life together," said the Boltimore born Duchess of Windsor, the "womon 1 love" of the history books. "We will celebrate our 20th an niversary next June I honestly feel as If It were only yesterday," she said in an interview. "We both have had to have a sense of humor." she said. "But we've never had a real spit ... I give him most of the credit there. I think we'd laugh first anyway." The duchess said that if her life could be re-lived, she is not sure whether that history-making decision nearly two decades ago would be the same. "You ask me whether we would do the same again, and 1 can only answer, 'how does one know?'," she said. . "And if one could go back, would one have any more knowledge about the right deci sion? "I did my best to keep David from leaving the throne, you know. 'tOmCAHTkiTkOHL. GOPNotTryinglo Kid People About 1 Issue, Says VP By EDMOND LE BRETON WASHINGTON Ifl Vice Presi dent Nixon has again swung hard at Adlai Stevenson's expressed hopes for ending the draft, saying the Republicans will not "hold out any false hopes" of such action. Nixon said he thinks Stevenson is "a well intentioncd man," but contended the Democratic candi date lacks the background and judgment of President Eisenhow er in matters involving threats to peace and freedom. Stevenson has said the draft should be ended "at the earliest possible moment consistent with the national safety," On a nationwide television inter view last night, Nixon said Repub licans would like lo be able to promise that compulsory, military service could soon toe abolished without impairing national safety. But he said they would "not kid the American people in an elec tion year . . . when we know there is no chance at this particu lar time for It to happen." It would be completely Irrespon sible, Nixon said, to tell allies the United- States is reducing its strength and still expect them to keep up their own full efforts. Nixon promised that never, un der Eisenhower, would "thous ands of American boys" go Into a war unprepared, as he said hap pened in . Korea. "Some of them died because they did not have the training they needed," Nixon said. Repeatedly, Nixon appealed for the election of a Republican Con gress as well as President. He said drought stricken term ers would be better oft if the Dem ocratic congress had not balked at administration plans for early payment of soil Dank benefits. Still, he said, the soil bank in the long run will help drought areas.- Nixon said congressional oppo sition also had blocked projects advocated by the President under his "partnership" policy for nat ural resources development. Nix on declared that only this policy, emphasizing the role of local gov ernments and private Interests in power and similar developments, could fully realize the potential. He again denied Democratic charges that Elsenhower is against the little man," saying he objected to this term for any American and that "for the great majority of Americans the Eisen hower years have been the best four years of our lives." The Interview, In which Nixon was questioned by eight newsmen In as many cities, was presented as Nixon s report on a 32-state campaign awing he completed Wednesday, India 'Fixer' Visits Cairo CAIRO, Egypt Ufl-V.K.

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL Keef Taunts GOP on Pyle 'Suffer' Joy Estes Says Opposition Has Fallen Down on Many Programs By JOE HALL PHOENIX, Ariz. IB Sen. Estes i Kciauver campaigned into an- zona today, taunting ItepuDlicans with the "right to suffer" remark of the former Republican gover nor of the state, now an assistant to President Eisenhower. The Democratic vice presiden tial nominee, in a speech pre pared for delivery at a luncheon here, recalled that "it was How ward Pyle who said 'the right to suffer is one of the joys' of a free economy. "This is a 'joy' which we Demo cratswhich Adlai Stevenson and I and your leaders here don't wish to inflict further upon you," he declared. Pyle made the remark at a press conference in Detroit last May. He later said he did not mean it the way it was interpret ed. Kefauver accused the Republi cans of falling down on water con servation and multi-purpose dam projects, school construction, home building and programs to aid small business. The tireless Tcnnessean had an other 18 hours of barnstorming lined up for today to match the gruelling pace he set yesterday in the Los Angcl( area. His schedule for today started with a breakfast meeting in Tuc son, where he arrived m early morning by plane from Los An geles, included press conferences at Tucson and Phoenix, and then carried him to Pueblo, Colo, for a dinner and a speech. He is to fly to Enid, Okla.,' to spend tonight and then have an other rough day in Oklahoma to morrow. One new speech, at Mus kogee, has been, added to talks previously listed tor Jfinia, Alva and Ponca City. The senator s aides were high ly pleased over his first campaign Invasion of caliiornia yesterday. Kefauver drew one capacity and one overflow audience last night in small halls at two suburban communities in the Los Angeles area. At his speech in Norwalk, just six miles from Whittier, the home town of Vice President Nixon, the Tennessean got a big response from the crowd with a sharp at tack on the vice president. Kefauver also went after Eisen hower in his Norwalk speech. "We're beginning to get the general down off .his mountain top," he said. "He (has done just as much to hurt the little people as anybody else in his administra tion." The senator also took on Thom as E. Dewey in California yester day, saying "apparently it has been decided by the' Republican high command that Mr. Dewey will be the one taking the low rood this time." Kefauver was answering an at tack made by Dewey on Steven son as "mediocre." Plane Spots Bend Hunter BEND m Searchers Thurs day found Charles Pike, 20, of Bend who disappeared last Mon day on a deer-hunting trip in the Mud Lake area near here. Smoke from his signal fire was spotted by a search plane and later a ground party walked into his camp. He appeared to be well despite being lost some 72 hours. He was the third hunter to be reported lost since the season opened at dawn last Saturday. The other two also were found alive and well. There have been nine fatalities reported so far this season eight fatal heart seizures and one fatal shooting. Four other hunters suf fered non-fntnl gunshot wounds. - i S&IX Ike Won't Do as Well In Oklahoma as 1952 Democrats Count Heavily on Farm Discontent Editor's Note: This Is another. article in a series by AP's pol'ti-, cai reporters surveying sentiment, m key stales. By ARTHUR EDSON KINGFISHER, Okla. unWill A. Struck, who farms 480 acres of wheat land hard hit by drought, leaned on the front fender of a parked car and readily expressed his political sentiments. "I'm mad," Struck said. So, although he voted for Dwight D. Eisenhower for president in 1952, this time Struck said, he will switch to the Democrats and Adlai E. Stevenson, "My wheat crop," Struck said, "wasn't worth a damn. Haven't had a good crop - since 1952. Be tween Ike and the 'dry weather they're going to bust us poor old tarmers. . -In 1952. Eisenhower carried thii normally Democratic state by 500,045 votes to Stevenson s 430, 939. The Democrats are betting that the dry prairies and the hill coun try have enough discontented farmers to move Oklahoma's eight electoral votes over to Ste venson. Republicans say the farm revolt is overrated. Anyway, they're bet ting on big majorities in Ok lahoma City and Tulsa, where Ei senhower four years ago rolled up a formidable 52,000 vote advan tage. Walter E. Curry, Republican state chairman, predicts Eisen hower won't do as well as his 87.000-vote margin four years ago, Right now, Curry would be happy to settle for a victory of 35,000. to 50,000 votes. - On the Democratic side, Sen. Mike Monroney figures Stevenson to win by 80,000 votes, He's bank ing heavily on farmer discontent to infect the small town mer chant. As for the state political report ers, they re so evenly divided that Oklahoma will have to go down as truly doubtful. With every ballot counting, the farmers seem to be the voters with the loudest complaint. Saunter around Kingfisher pop, 3,345 and you get a different idea of the complexities of the farm problem than- you had in Wash ington. Leon Whitakcr, a young man who used to farm here but now works for a drilling company in Buffalo, Okla., was talking with Eldin Baker, an insurance man. "I tried farming seven years," Whitakcr said, "but - everything was against me. I had to quit. One farmer can't live on a quar ter section of land 160 acres any more and make a living. I know. I tried." "Plenty of others have found cut the same thing," Baker said. Dry weather plus comparatively poor prices, Baker said, have whittled the population of King fisher County from 28,000 to 12,700 since 1948. Many farmers who re main make a living only by driv ing 44 miles Into Oklahoma City to work. Yet neither blames the admin istration for the farmers' plight. Both voted for Eisenhower, and will do so again. This is wheat country. To the south, around El Reno, you run into country that also produces cotton, alfalfa, corn and other farm problems.

Wilson Harvey, a Negro who has retired from carpentry, plans to vote for Eisenhower again. He doesn't think times are too good, "but there's just so much a pres ident can do. And old Ike did a pretty good job of storprj that war." But E. B. BilUnger. a railroad engineer, gives the green, light to Stevenson. "Personally." he said, "I like old Eisenhower, but those men he has around him ." Further south, in Democratic territory, E. P.

Whitlord, a strong pro-Eisenhower man, figures that what many newspapers call "the Wag oner vote" scandal" will hurt the Democrats badly. Nor does he think the farmers are leaving Eisenhower. "The farm vote," he said, "will.be heavier for Eisen hower than in '52." Col. L. A.
