Nixon Preparing
Blast at Adiai .
En Route With Nixon CU.B
Vice President Richard M
Nixon readied a new blast at
Adiai E. Stevenson Saturday
contrasting his leadership qual
ities to those of President Eisen
hower. The hard-campaigning Nixon
headed his barnstorming char
tered plane for Alexandria,
Minn., for a speech. His staff
said the speech would also an
swer some recent charge against
the Eisenhower administration
by the Democratic nominee and
by former President Truman.
Nixon, who has spoken from
border to border and cost to
coast in four days, looked for
ward to 24 hours of rest as the
guest of Minneapolis publisher
John Cowles at Battle Lake,
Minn., near Alexandria. Mrs.
Nixon and most of the staff and
newsmen traveling with him
planned to spend the night in
Minneapolis.
Nixon telephoned President
Eisenhower Friday night from
Ishperning, Mich., to urge that
the Chief Executive visit the

Czech Police Arrest
Western Agents
Vienna (U.R) Communist
Czech police have arrested "sev
eral large groups of Western
agents" engaged in espionage for
"certain foreign power s,"
Prague Radio said Saturday.
The broadcast said the agents
were "acting on the orders" of
the foreign powers, but it nam
ed neither the powers nor the
suspected spies.
It's illegal,'
Barry said. "All
in Libertyville
street banners
are illegal."
But the burst of local pride
and enthusiasm which had help
ed hoist the banner was not eas
ily squelched not even by the
village president.
Berry instructed a policeman
to haul down the offending sign,
but the businessmen wouldn't
stand for that. They tugged back
on a wire to keep the banner fly
ing while the policeman pleaded
with them to let go.
A truce was finally agreed up
on, and Berry called a special
meeting of the village board.
However, only one village offi
cial showed up in contrast to 60
townspeople. The meeting was
postponed until Tuesday.
Once things had quieted down
a policeman lowered the sign.
