Addressing a cheering capacity crowd of 22.000 in Hollywood Bowl, Eisenhower also charged the Dem ocratic presidential nominee with hurling a "baseless insult," and a "preposterous accusation" in say ing the Eisenhower administration has been marked by a "contagion of corruption." Ending a vote-seeking tour of Washington and Oregon as well as California, Eisenhower scheduled a piidday speech at Denver's air port today en route to the White House. He planned to get home tonight. The President last night hit out hard at Stevenson and other Dem ocrats who have been criticizing Vice President Richard Nixon. Ei senhower called such criticism "fatuous, foolish and futile" an attempt to "belittle the character of this great American." In Nixon's home state of Cali fornia, Eisenhover departed from his prepared text to praise and defend his running male. In a campaign speech Wednes day night, Stevenson denounced Nixon as a man "whose greatest political talent is a mastery of per sonal innuendo, who cries 'treas- 'on' and spreads fear and doubt, ... a man whose trademark is dander." Swatting first at Stevenson's "contagion of corruption" charge, - the President harked back to the days of the Truman administra tion and-said: "II I were anxious to win fhc confidence of the American peo ple, and remembering the Wash ington mess of only four years ago. there is one word that is the last I would take from the diction ary to use in a political argument and that word is -corruption. "I scorn this preposterous accu- tation-and I condemn it as false because it is a baseless insult to the many-men and women as sociated with me in public service today, whom 1 know and trust.

GOPSplit Cited by Stevenson Statement About Suez Situation Questioned CINCINNATI WV-Adlai E.

Russian power and influence have moved into the Mid dle East the oil tank of Europe and Asia and the great bridge be tween East and West."
