Highlights of Langlie's GOP Keynote Address Langlie Blasts Opposition as Uneasy Coalition of 'Hot Heads1 San Francisco U.R) Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of Washing ton told the GOP convention Monday night that the differ ence between the political par ties i this: Democrats "give 'em hell" while Republicans give them leadership. Langlie, in the convention's keynote address, blasted the op position as an uneasy coalition of "hot heads" and "timid souls" held together only by a common desire for power. The Republican administra tion, he said, has replaced Demo cratic "mismanagement and cor ruption" with a constructive program looking to peace, pros perity, and progress. He geared his attack to the firebrand keynote speech deliv ered last week to the Democrat ic National convention by Gov. Frank G. Clement of Tennessee, setting off waves of laughter in San Francisco's Cow Palace with his mimicry of Clement's arm waving delivery. Styla Restrained Langlie's style was carefully restrained, and when he was done Sen. William F. Knowland (R.-Calif .) took the rostrum to say: "Not only this convention but the nation will contrast this keynote speech by Gov. Langlie with the one that was given in Chicago a week ago." Langlie asked the nation to judge the GOP on its record since the 1952 election. Under the Republicans, he said, "There is peace in the land, there is well being in the homes of America, and there is re newed faith in our time honored principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility." He urged that his party be kept in power so that it might continue its "crusade for a finer America in a better world under the competent, steadfast, forth right leadership of Dwight D. Eisenhower." Langlie, who will be seeking a Senate seat in the November elections, said the Republicans in the coming campaign will strive "to give them leadership" and "not to 'give 'em hell.' " However, he went ahead to hit the opposition party with the hardest oratorical blows that he could muster. Democrats Accused He accused the Democrats of "twenty demoralizing years of discord and defeatism in our public affairs, ending up In fla grant corruption. He said they went out of of fice leaving "a staggering na tional debt, a greatly reduced value of the dollar, a colossal bureaucracy and vastly increas ed taxes." The Democrats, he said, were "responsible for the security of our country and of the free world precisely when Commu nist world aggression achieved its maximum success, when the nations of Eastern Europe were lost to freedom and when on an other continent China became part of the Communist empire." 72.3 Million Acres Go Into Soil Bank Washington (U.R) The Agri culture Department reported Monday more than 12.3 million acres were taken out of produc tion this year under the adminis tration's new soil bank program Growers of corn, cotton, wheat. rice, peanuts and tobacco who agreed to withdraw some of their land from production will receive almost $261 million from the government for cutting down their usual acreage.

LANGLIE Leadership Party Purpose Arilai Sees Speech Another Example Of Complacency Libertyville, 111. OJ.R) Ad- lai E. Stevenson charged today that the keynote speech deliv ered by Washington Gov. Arthur B. Langlie at the Republican Convention in San Francisco Monday was "another example of the administration s smug self righteous complacency." "I have no expectation of an honest appraisal of the dangers abroad and the failures at home from .any official Republican spokesman, at least before the election," the Democratic presi dential candidate said in a state ment at his country home. "The Republican keynote was mat All is well and God is on our side, Stevenson said. "It was another example of the administration s smug, self-righteous complacency." Langlie's keynote speech stressed peace and prosperity and called for four more years of a Republican "crusade for a finer America in a better world under the competent, steadfast, forth right leadership of Dwiaht D. Eisenhower." Stevenson said that the key note address was not "the first time Langlie has shamelessly confused fact and falsehood for political ends. In 1950," Stevenson said, "he said I had run up a large deficit in Illinois. The fact is that I left the state with a large treasury balance after doubling school aid and other programs and without raising general revenue taxes.' Adlai's First Attack Stevenson's blast at.Lanelip was his first attack on he Re publicans since he began a rest Monday at his country home. Stevenson, plotting his cam paign strategy at his country home here, was concerned about his party's limited campaign funds. He faced a major problem of how to split the money between costly television addresses and expensive "whistle stops." -President Eisenhower, as the nation's chief executive, has the use of a government-owned rail road car. Phone Installers Continue Walkout Portland (U.R) A walkout of about 700 telephone equipment installers employed by Western Electric Company in the Pacific Northwest continued today as negotiations for a new contract remained deadlocked in New York. No formal strike call had been issued by union members in Portland were asked to attend a meeting today to hear latest developments and prepare for possible start of picketing tomorrow. The union was reported to have cut its original demand for an 18-cent hourly wage increase to 15 cents. D. G. Ward, president of the North Pacific local of the Com munications Workers of Amer ica, said a number of other is sues were of major Importance in negotiations, one of which was a demand for elimination of geographical wage differentials. In an, about 18,000 men in 44 states are involved. Comparison With Opposition Said To Be Welcomed San Francisco (U.R) High lights of Washington Gov. Ar thur B. Langlie's keynote ad dress to the Republican Nation al Convention: Our party's purpose in this campaign is not to 'give 'em hell' but to give them leader ship. We welcome comparison, with the opposition, of both our pro grams and our leaders, and we ask to be judged for the future by our record in the past three and a half years. For we have come a long way in a short time. There is peace in the land, there is well being in the homes of America, and there is renew ed faith in our time-honored principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility. The American farmer today can once again look forward to raising his crops for his mar kets instead of for government warehouses. And he can once again look forward to parity generated by markets, not battlefields. The Democratic party Is a party of many divisions. It is a party of sectionalism and fac tionalism. It stands for one thing in the South, another in the North. Under the same roof, this party has some of the leaders of organized labor and some of the bitterest, most reactionary enemies of the men and women who toil in our factories. It has northern liberals who militantly champion civil rights up to a point and they have others who abhor' civil liberties like the plague. They have national istic hotheads who rattle their sabers at every opportunity, dis turb friendly relations with oth er nations, and they have timid souls who attack and criticize the administration and accuse us of risking war whenever we act firmly and effectively to prevent war. Tuesday. August 21, 193B MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUWE FIVE For twentv vears this party (Democratic) subsisted only from one crisis to another some real, some imaginary, some fabri cated. After World War II was over, the Democrats fought to keep socialistic war controls over every phase of a free American life. And, when a Republican Con cress restored freedom to the people, the Democrats pre dicted wild and wanton intiation and economic disaster. It did not happen. After the cutback in military spending which followed peace in Korea, the Democrats cried out that a great depression was unnn ns It did not happen. In stead we began to enjoy the greatest prosperity in our entire history. The Democrats prophesied tne loss of our Allies and the col lapse of our defense after the Geneva conference. Neither hap pened. Instead world peace be came more probable and the Kremlin more conciliatory. more responsive to our dynamic foreign policy." America stands today as the richest, freest, finest country in the world.
