Stevenson Started H-Bomb Controversy 6 Months Ago Cnicago U.R) The H-bomb issue, hottest question of the presidential campaign, had its beginning six months ago on April 21. At that time. Adlai E. Steven son came out for action to halt hydrogen bomb tests in a non political speech before the an nual meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington, D.C. Deroted 217 Words He devoted just 217 words of speech attacking the Republi can foreign policy to the subject of H-bomb tests. After criticizing GOP policy, Stevenson gave some of his own Ideas. One was that this nation "give prompt and earnest con- $390 $250 Pint mo Samovar VODKA f truly "7 t-.l " A - HI,. 6ENUINORY VODKA rodwel ot fihS.A Boofca Komponiyo. Schanl.y, Po. end Freino, Coltf. Mad sideration to stopping further tests of the hydrogen bomb. "As a layman I question the sense of multiplying the enlarg ing weapons of a destructive power already almost incompre hensible," Stevenson said. "Of course," he continued, "1 would call upon other nations to follow our lead, and if they don't, and persist in further tests, we will know about it and can reconsider our foreign policy." Began Talking Again It wasn't long after Stevenson won the Democratic presidential nomination in August that he began talking about H-bomb tests again. t Recalling his April proposal, Stevenson told American Legion conventioneers in Los Angeles Sept. that other nations had an nounced they would be willing to limit H-bomb tests. Since then, Stevenson has plugged away at the same theme in speeches across the country at St. Louis, Minneapolis. Seat tle, San Diego, Cincinnati, and elsewhere.

Nixon Schedules Four Appearances In Illinois Today En Route With Nixon U.B Vice President Richard M. Nixon shifted his "mop-up" campaign to Illinois today. I Nixon scheduled four "whistle 'stop appearances in the home state of Democratic nominee Ad :lai E. Stevenson, before aban doning his campaign train in Chicago late today. Sees Michigan Victory After winding up a day and a half of campaigning in Michi gan, he predicted the state will be in the GOP column on Nov. 1-6 as it was four years ago. But in Illinois, Republicans are reported to be on the de fensive generally as a result of state house scandals surround ing the conviction of former state Auditor Orville Hodge for embezzlement of state funds. Twenty-seven prized presi dential electoral votes are at stake in Illinois a State car ried by Mr. Eisenhower in' 1952. Republican Sen. ' Everett M. Dirksen and Gov. William G. Stratton are also up for reelec tion. Nixon may be drawn into the debate over the Hodge affair. He got a taste of it during a rally at Kalamazoo, Mich., Tuesday when someone raised a placard asking: "Hodge and Stratton, what about it?" Dishonesty Cleaned Up Nixon noted the sign and de clared: "When we find dishon esty we clean it up rather than cover it up." Nixon's train stops in Illin ois include Southern Illinois University at Carbonville. Cen tralia. Champaign and Kanka kee. He is scheduled for a rally at Evansfkn tonight. Old Trading Post Found at Niagara Lewiston, N. Y. (U.B His torians claim "the find of the century" in an excavation about 500 feet from the Lewiston Queenston Bridge spanning the Niagara River. In bulldozing operations for expansion of a motel, workers uncovered the site of the first permanent-type structure in the whole Niagara Frontier area. It was a trading post built by Jon Caire in 1720. Caire was the French trader who set up the first permanent settlement in Buffalo. Post holes gave the clue to the site along with Indian and French artifacts dug up. More than 600 post holes were found in an area 70 by 35 feet. Struc ture of the soil has made it pos sible to spot the post holes. The British burned the post in 1759. and charred wood and silt settled in the holes as wood decayed. The black silt and char coal traces still show up in the red clay. Posts dug up are squared off at the bottom, showing French construction with saws. Among the artifacts found were an In dian ring made of three or four spiral bonds, a typical French bracelet from the continent, ar row heads, flints, pipes, bits of china and musket balls.
