At this first stop on a vote seeking foray into Dixie, the Pres ident also spoke of the tense sit uation in the Middle East where Israel has ordered mobilization of reserve armed forces. Eisenhower said America must use its "full moral power" to "di rect the purposes of all nations away from conflict and' towards concord." 10,000 at Airport Discussing civil rights in general terms In this race-c o n s c i o u s Southland, the President called for handling the explosive problem "to the greatest possible extent on a local and state basis." Alluding further to the problem, he said: "We have earnestly tried to keep it from becoming a partisan' matter, for we are talking here not about a political issue but about justice for Americans." Eisenhower's police-estimated audience of about 10.000 at Inter national Airport responded with light applause at that point.

Steven son today labeled President Eis enhower's arguments against end ing hydrogen bomb tests as "hope less defeatism." The Democratic presiden tial candidate charge that the President offers only a "do-nothing solution" on !ie problem of "how to save the world from hy drogen devastation." Stevenson' issued a 3,000 word memorandum with a covering statement replying to Mr. Eisen hower's "white paper" which at tacked the Stevenson H-bomb pro posal last Tuesday. Stevenson called the adminis tration's document a "campaign pamphlet" rather than an official paper and said it was "remark able for misstatements and dis tortions." Says President Hostile "After all Mr. Eisenhower's ar guments are shaken down," Ste venson said, "the net effect is one of hopeless defeatism." "The President is not only hos tile to new constructive thinking by others on how to save the world from hydrogen devastation. but he quite clearly has no cre ative or hopeful ideas of his own in this critical field," Stevenson said. "As in so many other fields, the President simply offers another do-nothing solution," he said Stevenson released the state ment after his arrival here Sun day night on a Right from Phoe nix. Ariz. His Hi day stay here bidding for Massachusetts' 16 elec toral votes in the November 6 el ection will be highlighted by speech at a rally in Mechanics Hall tonight, which will be car ried over a nationwide television network.

Stev enson will step up Ihe "violence and intcmnerance" of his attacks on the administration to "cover up" his "ridiculous" H-bomb pro posal.

The two pronged attack was announced by Israeli military authorities.

They took up positions at Nahel Road junction, the announcement said. Kuntilla, or El Kuntilla, is on the Sinai Peninsula. The Bible says Ishmael, ancestor of the Arabs, lived there. The action was announced in the midst of a Middle East war scare. Israel is on a war footing. The United States is evacuating its citizens from Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. The announcement said the at tack was necessary because of what it called continued Egyptian attacks on citizens and on Israeli sea and land communicatios. It said Egypt's purpose was to cause destruction and deprive residents ol the possibility of peaceful ex istence." At the same time, Israeli se curity authorities said two Egyp tian destroyers and other war ships apparently headed toward Israel Monday.
