bomb, will concentrate on criti
cism of Mr. Eisenhower's quality
of or lack of leadership. The
GOP administration's attitude
toward the "little people" ad
ministration farm policy and
conduct of foreign affairs.
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. But they
think this will decline in ratio
to the degree that the Chief
Executive is linked solidly with
the Republican party as a par
ticipating politician.
The people around the Illinois
governor believe that his best
chance for victory lies in Minne

California, Rhode Island. Mass

Kefauver Launches
New Attack on
GOP Opponent
En Route With Kefauver U.R)
Sen. 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.
