Ike, Political Aides Eye
Storm Over Wilson's Talk
DENVER W President Eisen
hower and his political lieutenants
today kept a sharp eye on the
stormy repercussion to Secretary
of Defense Wilson's unemployment
"dog" story and hoped to counter
act Republican, Democratic and
labor criticism.
The White House clearly Is wor
ried about what effect Wilson's re
marks which he says were dis
torted and are being used for polit
ical advantage by the Democrats
will have on the Nov. 2 congres
sional elections.
The concern at the President's
vacation headquarters here be
came evident yesterday when Ei
senhower himself came to Wilson's
defense and sought to soften the
Impact on the hard-fought Repub
lican campaign to keep control of
Congress.
The chief executive acted
criticism .of Wilson came from a
few GOP candidates for Congress,
from Democratic opponents, and
from CIO President Walter Heti'
ther and AFL chief George Meany.
In effect rejecting Reuther's de
mand that Wilson be made to re
tract his statements or be ousted
irom the- Cabinet,, Eisenhower ex
pressed confidence in his Cabinet
member in these words:
"I never have found him in the
slightest degree indifferent to hu
man misfortune."
' The furor the President was at
tempting to quiet was touched off
by Wilson at a Detroit news con
ference Monday. He said then he
has "a lot of sympathy" for the
unemployed, but always had
'liked bird dogs better than kennel-fed
dogs."
Then he added: ''You know, one
who'll get out and hunt for food
rather than sit on his fanny and
yell."
In the aftermath, critics contend
ed that was an unwarranted slap
at the unemployed.
Wilson, former president of .Gen
eral Motors Corp., fired back yes
terday with a statement that he
intended "no invidious compari
sons, nor Insinuations likening peo
ple to dogs in any sense." He
added:
"I am sure that the distorted
version of what I said is being
used bv the people of the adverse
political party trying to capitalize
on a misinterpretation of the full
meaning" of what I actually said."
The secretary said he related
the "bird dog vs. kennel dogs"
story to underscore that "I ad
mired spirit and Initiative" in
hunting for jobs.
Police Discover
Secret Factory
HAVANA, Cuba W Police Chief
Rafael Salas Canizares said today
his agents discovered a secret ex
plosive factory in Havana's China
town. He charged it was set up as
part of a terrorist plot to disrupt
Cuba's Nov, 1 presidential elec
tions.
Salas reported more than 100
suspects have been arrested in j
connection with the alleged plot, i
Although none was identified, the j
police chief said all are members ;
of the National Revolutionary i
Movement (MNR). i
Salas said police agents uncov-
ered the factory last night, find
ing documents relating to the al-,
leged plot and unspecified quanti
ties of dynamite and other explo
si"es. i
Salas accused MNR chief Rafael j
Garcia Barcenas, a University of i
Havana professor, of heading the ;
plot. Ho said Garcia left Cuba two
days ago for Miami, Fla.
At Eisenhower's headquarters
here the reaction on the part of
his aides seemed to be to regard
the Wilson episode as one of the
bad "breaks" that turn up in al'
most every campaign.
A presidential associate who
asked not to bs named said it
would take several days to eval
uate the extent of the impact. He
said the situation would be
watched carefully and dealt with
as its develops.
Meanwhile. Eisenhower kept
busy with other political strategy
aimed at attracting favorable at
tention to the GOP drive to. main-!
tain control of Congress. ,
He arranged to put in more work
today on a speech he will make
in Indianapolis Friday night on a
major campaign issue the admin-1
istration's farm program.
The half-hour speech in Butler
University fieldhouse at 9 p.m..
EST, will be carried by 60 Du
Mont television network stations
and the time will be paid for by
the Republican National Commit
tee. The White House said plans
are also being made to purchase
radio time. , .
Du Mont said the telecast" won't
go east of Ohio, west of Utah or
south of Tennessee. .
Eisenhower's headquarters an
nounced late yesterday that on Oct.
23 he will make still another ef
fort to keep the Republicans in
power in Congress.
He will be host then to Penn
sylvania GOP candidates for Con
gress and state offices at an out
door luncheon at his Gettysburg
farm.
GEORGETOWN. Del. tfi The
question of readmitting 11 Negro
children to the previously all
white high school in Milford, Del.,
rests with the State Court of Chan
cery today.
Arguments were presented yes
terday in the court heforo Vice
Chancellor William Marvel, who
did not indicate when he would
announce his finding.
Meanwhile. State Ally. Gen. H.
Albert Young said he would is
sue new subDoenas today through
the Court of Chancery to obtain
the financial and membership rec
ords of the National Assn. for the
Advancement of White People.
Bryant Bowles, national presi
dent of the NAAWP, has retused
to turn them over to Young, con
tending that they must be sub'
poenaed through a court.
Bowles and the NAAWP have
been in the forefront of the move
for segregated schools. As a
suit of pressures brought by the
NAAWP, Negro pupils who attend-
ed the Milford High School for the
first three weeks of the fall term
this year were ordered to be re
turned to a Negro school in Dover.
Young, in his capacity as at
torney general, asked Marvel yes
terday to order the return of the
11 Negro pupils. He said that the
ruling he sought "will arm Dela
ware officials "with the kind of
decree where we can get those
people who are trying to destroy
our community and destroy our
laws."
campaign.
Republicans are seeting to put
the Eisenhower administration and
the President's personal popularity
on the line.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon
has denounced Neutwrger as a
left-wing Democrat. Sen. Wayne
Morse tlnd-Ore), who bolted the
GOP and is backing the Demo
cratic ticket, has said Cordon is
an isolationist and reactionary.
Cordon supporters profess to be
confident the help-Eisenhower an
neal will tell the difference on eleo
lion lor tne state s senior senaior.
Democratic spokesman acknow
ledge Eisenhower is held in gener
al esteem but contend mere is a
feeling of letdown against the ad
ministration itslf.
Neuberger, 41, a nationally
known writer and a state senator
iiice 1948, advocates public owner
ship and management of power
facilities. He pictures the 64-year-old
Cordon as "the senator of the
giveaway." Cordon, he says, has
"betrayed" Oregon on power mat
ters.
rordun denies he or the admini
stration is giving anything away.
He says he upholds me sysiem oi
nrivate enterprise, as against "su
perstate paternalism." Defending
his support of government partner
ship with private concerns to mm
out more kilowatts, he said:
"I favor any sound proposition
which will Increase power for the
Pacific Northwest and do it rapid
ly." '
Cordon, appointed to the Senate
in 1944 and elected in 1948, some
times differs with the administra
tion, although he saya "I'm 100 per
cent for Elsenhower."
The President has spoken up for
Cordon, and Douglas McKay, a
popular Oregon governor before he
heeame secretary of the Interior,
returned to campaign for Cordon
when it looked as though he needed
help.
As for himself. Cordon seeks re
election on his 10-year record with
out special emphasis on Eisenhow
er's call for a Republican Con
gress. Democrats are staging a vigor
ous drive in two congressional dis
tricts. Republicans say they are
hopeful, however, of retaining par
tv members in all four seats and
electing McKay's gubernator
ial successor. Paul Patterson, to
his own four-year term. Joseph K,
Carson Jr., a former mayor of
Portland, it the Democratic can
didate for governor.
Democrats have made . some
gains in registration and aroused
dormant party organizations in a
number of counties. Republicans
continue to hold lead, however,
in registrations.
