Stevenson Collection Libertyville, 111. (U.R) Ad- lai E. Stevenson denounced the 1956 Republican platform Sat urday as "one of the rarest col lections of already broken pro mises in modern political his tory." The Democratic presidential nominee accused the GOP of "huckstering" and "slight-of- hand by making ' glib promises in fields where the Eisenhower administration "has already fail ed." Stevenson said the voter can reach "only one conclusion" if he reads the platform the con vention adopted at San Francisco this week "with an eye to the fine print and the record of the past four years." Stand-Pat Party - "The Republican party is still a stand-pat do-nothing party, and the Democratic party is still a forward-looking party that sets a big job ahead and does not fear to undertake it." Stevenson blasted the GOP platform in a statement he said was based on a 25-page analysis of the document, prepared for him by the Research Division of the Democratic National com mittee. This "factual and objective" anaylsis shows "not only the con trast between Republican prom ises and past Republican perfor mances," but the "contrast" be tween the GOP and Democratic platforms adopted for the 1956 campaign, Stevenson said. He said the voters "won t have to wait" to find out whether the wv , i' - r-.r -v?.-rtfpjaaawarjBssssa SOMETHING IN COMMON Democratic presidential nominee Adlai Stevenson, on his way to the dentist to have chipped tooth fixed up, stops to chat with these youngsters on street in Ubertyyille, DL Note all three boys in foreground have a tooth missing in about same place.

"The record of the Eisenhower administration and the Republi cans in congress clearly shows that they didn't intend to carry out their 1952 patform promises, and that in many cases they have done just the opposite of what they are now again promising the voters in this year's platform' Stevenson charged. Stevenson attacked the Repub Moforboat Struck By Tug in Columbia Vancouver, Wash.
