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.
"I want to make sure we strike
together in hammering home the
great issues of 1956," he said.

ocratic nomination despite oppo

est campaigners, said he looked
forward to the showdown battle
with Mr. Eisenhoer.
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."
