Stevenson, in addition to Nixon and the H bomb, will concentrate on criti cism of Mr. Eisenhower's quality of or lack of leadership.

Key political advisers of Ste venson believe that the election has yet to be won by either side. They do not underestimate the strength of Mr. Eisenhower's personal popularity.

Estes Kefauver charged to day that a "disguised" Vice Pres ident Richard M. Nixon "is try ing to get into the White House on false premises, a false front and a false face." The Democratic vice presiden tial candidate made his new at tack on Nixon as sharp as any of his campaign in a speech prepared for delivery at a Bur lington, Vt., rally. With 27,000 miles of campaigning in 27 states already behind him, Ke fauver was launching a new coast-to-coast campaign trip. Reference To Expense Fund The speech contained Kefau ver's first reference during the present election campaign to Nixon's expense fund, a major controversy of the 1952 cam paign. Asserting that Nixon is "no friend of the small business man," Kefauver said simply that "the contributors to the Nixon fund all had special interests to protect." That was an allusion to the fund raised by Nixon's support ers to help pay certain expenses of the then Senator Nixon. Ex istence of the fund, disclosed during the 1952 presidential campaign, caused a furor which provoked Nixon's widely pub licized radio-TV speech defend ing the fund and explaining its uses. Kefauver was scheduled to fly to the New York City area later today. Nixon Confident GOP Moving Ahead In Farm Belt Area En Route With Nixon -0J.R) Vice President Richard M. Nixon surged into a strenuous stump ing tour of Ohio today confident that the Republican campaign is "off the ground and moving ahead" even in the Farm Belt. Nixon scheduled seven speeches and two news confer ences in a 14 hour day of barn storming across the Buckeye State by plane and auto. In Indiana Tuesday Nixon speaks to a rally in Dayton, flies to Toledo and Maumee, transfers to a smaller plane for a flight to Defiance, returns to Toledo for his regular plane, flies to Warren and ends up in nearby Youngstown. He stumps Indiana Tuesday, Nixon told a new conference on Sunday that he believes the GOP will "do pretty well in Ohio." He also predicted that the Re publicans will carry the Midwest Farm Belt even restive Minne sota despite low farm prices, but acknowledged that his party is in trouble in some states most severely hit by drought. He said drought in the South west, now spreading seriously into the Western Corn Belt, did not endanger the national ticket because its heaviest effect was in states like Oklahoma which the Republicans are not count ing on for victory.
