Eisenhower, Stevenson, Nixon Close Campaign in Plea for Votes Washington (U.R) Both po litical camps fought the crucial mid-term campaign down to the wire Monday night with eleec-tion-eve appeals by President Eisenhower, Adlai E. Stevenson and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. Mr. Eisenhower formally end ed the GOP campaign with' a plea for a big voter turnout. He did "not call directly for a Re publican victory, hut said the election will "affect the nation al life for the next two years and even far beyond that." Stevens and Nixon wound up on sharply partisan notes. With his 1956 presidential chances possibly riding on the election outcome, Stevenson ac cused the Republicans of reach ing "new depths" in politics by trying to divide the nation. He said they had failed to earn a mandate to continue at the helm of government. . ' Nixon called for the election of a Republican Congress to car ry forward the Eisenhower pro gram of "peace and prosperity. He said this is the Only way the nation can be sure of smashing the "Communist conspiracy." Ike Urges Phone Drive Mr. Eisenhower, following Nixon on a half-hour television appearance, urged his listeners to call 10 persons today to make sure they vote. He said Ameri cans face a "great decision" in determining which party will control the 84th" Congress. ' With his wife, Mamie, seated beside him in the television- stu dio here, the chief executive said Americans who don't: go to the polls will have an effect on the election "a negative one." "You owe it to yourself, your owe it to your country, you owe it to your children to turn out and vote tomorrow," Mr. Eisen hower declared. "There is no such thing as sitting out an elec tion." While he did not ask directly for a Republican victory, Mr. Eisenhower did ask his audience to think about such government programs as foreign policy, un- Greal-Grandson of Louis XVII Dies ' Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Fu neral services will be held to morrow for a man who claimed to be a great-grandson of Louis XVII, the "Lost Dauphin" of France. He was William Leopold Ot to de Bourbon Hapsburg, who, died Sunday at his home of a heart attack at the age of 79. Otto insisted to the end of his life that he was the great-great-grandson of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, the great-grandson of Louis XVII, the adopted son of Emperor Franz Josef of Austria and pretender to the throne of France. Otto's surviving son, George, said he wiH not press his claim as pretender. ' " Otto, a native of Munich, Ger many, came to San Francisco in 1898. He married Marie Ro- denwald, who died They had two sons, George and employment insurance, social se curity, and farm aid and then to vote for what they believe in "If you don't vote for what you believe in, then it is easily possible- that minorities either minorities or pressure groups can take over and establish the polices for our government for the next two years, and indeed possibly on long beyond that," the President said. Accuses GOP of 'Smear' Stevenson wrapped up the Democratic bid to win control of Congress with a 15-minute ra dio broadcast from New York. He said the Republicans had been "disloyal to the deepest tra ditions of constitutional democ racy" by a political campaign of denunciation arid smear. Once again, Nixon was a ma jor target of the 1952 Democra tic standard bearer. Referring to Nixon's speech of a few minutes earlier, Stevenson said: "Tonight, I have even heard the Vice-President of the United States, who not long ago was for sending American boys to fight in Indochina, claim that peace in the world is an achievement of the Eisenhower administration. We are, I fear, reaching new depths in the pursuit of office." Says GOP Shuns Record He lashed Republicans candi dates for being "unable or un willing to campaign on their record" and said they had "play ed on fear, mistrust and suspi cion, exploiting those things that divide rather than those things that unite our people."
