1 SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Auguil 22. Hit Stevenon Says GOP Promise of Tax Cut 'Just So Much Talk;' Contradicts Pledge Libertyvilie. 111. U.PJ Ad lai E. Stevenson today charged that the Republican'! promise of tax cut was "so much election talk" and was a contradiction of President Eisenhower's pledge to cut the national debt. Stevenson, who plans to begin a week-long tour around the country next Monday for per sonal conferences with local po litical leaders, held a news con ference at his Libertyvilie farm. The Democratic presidential nominee told newsmen at his country home here that he was "perplexed by the Republican tax slash promise "in view of the fact that the President repeat edly has been against a tax cut and has been in favor of applying any surplus to the reduction of the national debit." "It sounds to me like an ex pressed contradiction of the Pres ident," Stevenson said. Jibes At Republicans "I think it's so much election talk, myself." Stevenson said that the Republican Convention ap plauded when Sen. Prescott Bush, (R.-Conn.) said: 'We have balanced the budget.' " "This was certainly an accur ate reflection of what interests the Republican leaders most, not the education of our children, not a fair break for farmers, not the t growing menace of Communism in the world, not America's wan- ing influence, but a balanced budget," Stevenson said. I Bush was chairman of the Re- publican Platform Committee at the GOP Convention in San Fran cisco. As for the Republican's civil rights plank, Stevenson told newsmen "I can't see any marked difference" from the Democratic plank. To Speak at Detroit Stevenson also announced he would make a Labor Day address Sept. 3 in Detroit at the invita tion of the Detroit and Wayne County Federation of Labor and the Wayne County CIO Council. He would be introduced by Sen. Patrick V. McNamara D.-Mich.). Stevenson starts Monday on a whirlwind air trip to all parts of the country, with- his running mate. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.) to talk to local political leaders and lay the groundwork for the all-out grass roots cam paign. First stop is Santa Fe, N. M.

Relaxed and bouncing aga after the gruelling convention battle last week, Stevenson said, "I don't find it as wearing and tiring as most people think it is." Behind what appeared to be the "new Stevenson" emerged a powerful figure of "an old pro" used to winning elections, James A. Finnegan, his campaign man ager. . Finnegan. 51-year-old Phila delphia political boss, engineered the election of the first Demo cratic mayor in 67 years in Phil adelphia. No Contest of Dollars "We know we cannot win a contest of dollars." Finnegan said. "The Republicans can out spend us 10-to-l. "They'll have expensive tele vision time to burn but Gov. Stevenson is going to overcome this by carrying the election to the people and by making this a real person-to-person campaign, not Just a canned radio-television one such as the Republicans aVe planning for Mr. Eisenhow er." he said. Stevenson said his experience battling Kefauver m the pri maries convinced him there was no substitute for going directly to the voters. "There's nothing like seeing and talking to people face to face," he said. "I want to talk first-hand with our local and state leaders about our presidential campaign plans and get their ideas," Stevenson said. Schedule Told Stevenson's schedule called for him and Kefauver to meet in Santa Fe Monday with Demo cratic leaders from New Mexico, Texas. Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming nd Arizona. On Tuesday they were to meet at Bonneville Dam, Wash., for lead ers from Washington. Oregon, Idaho and Montana; Wednesday at Sioux City, Iowa, for Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota. Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin; Thursday at Knox ville, Tenn., for Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia, and Friday at Chi cago for Illinois, Indiana, Mich igan, Missouri and Ohio. The times and places for three other meetings to cover the re mainder of the states were to be announced later. Taking Aim As a result of conferences with local leaders, Stevenson was expected to decide where to aim his "whistle-stop" efforts. He planned to use both train and motorcades to saturate areas where he believes he can pick up the electoral college strength needed to turn the tide against Mr. Eisenhower. Fiimegan said Stevenson's "ac tual" campaign wasn't scheduled to begin until Sept. 13, when he will make the first of six sched uled 30 minute nationally tele vised addresses. Stevenson's headquarters em phasized that next week's trip i was "not to be confused with an ordinary campaign tour for its objective is neither speech-making or public appearance." Stevenson was expected to use the meetings to instill a "will-to-win" spirit among Democrats across the country. "There has never been a tour like this just before a regular campaign," Finnegan said. 'The governor wants to rfiake an up to the minute first-hand check on the main issues and he wants personally to confer with I issues home to the American local leaders and local candi- people and to get out the biggest dates in the fight to bring these I Democratic vote in history."
