Mr.. Clark slandered the American
Slav Congress, he declared, ano
added that he, Mr.. Wallace, was
proud to speak before them.
1t was much the most responsive
audience to hear the third-party
candidate since he left New York
last Thursday on this 15-State
8,5O0-mile final campaign drive, ano
Mr.. Wallace evidently enjoyed the
applause. Finally he whisked away
at so miles an hour behind police

and on to South Bend for his second
major speech of the day.
This one was heard by about 1,50(
polite but undemonstrative persons
who half filled the auditorium OF the
John Adams High School. There he
made his bitterest attack to date
on the Marshall Plan and United
States foreign policy In general.
Both the Republicans and Demo
Gratis, Mr.. Wallace charged, want
to precipitate a new international
crisis before the election.
He said they are trying. at the
United Nations meeting in Paris
To force Russia out of the world
organization.

from Studebaker's South Bend plant
that, auto companies made grea'
profits on cars and trucks sold tx
Europe under the Marshall Plan.
Without supplying details, Mr.
Wallace added simply: "Italiar
auto and truck companies art
forced to close down, or else italy

pork barrel works"
Another way it works, Mr.. Wal

has created artificial shortages al
home, so that "Studebaker was able
to raise prices $18,000,0 900 recently
while wages rose only $4,000, 900.
THE cut in, real wages he said
"is basic to the Marshall Plan"
Instead OF continuing the Mar.

should spend its money through
the U. Ms European Economic
Commission, Mr.. Wallace concluded
He praised the work OF that body
where Americans, Russians and
Englishmen sit side by side ane
they co-operate."
