NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-Vincent

DENTAL candidate. said last night
the .'Nixon fund.- is just ..petty
corruption in comparison to that
which he accused members Of both
major parties Of sharing.
Mr.. Hallinan. In q prepared
campaign dinner speech at the
Hotel Astor. declared:
"The corruption that feeds on
billion dollar arms contracts and
drapes itself in the glitter Of false
patriotism is as bipartisan as the
war program from which it
springs"
The candidate charged that both
Democrats and Republicans get
rich from arms contracts, Govern
ment surplus sales, oil cartels and
subsidies to railroads, shipping,
pipelines and airlines. Mr.. Halli-
nan added:
what Is $4,000 compared to
the 31a to S billion dollars-no-
body knows how much-which the
China lobby and Chang Kai-shek
Extracted from the Treasury with
the connivance OF Republicans and
Democrats alike?
do you notice that every time
lthe trail of corruption leads from
the petty racketeers and the little
crooks to the big fish, that sud-
denly there is silence-or q new

The fiiers were to form v over

Miss Howard said this is the

Followers Tell Him
To Keep Fiqhtinq'

AS we went through all these
places and saw the faces OF the
American people and we heard
them say to Pat and me, Keep
it up; keep fighting: we believe
in you"
It made us realize that all you
have got to do is to tell the peo-
pie; all you have got to do in
this country Of ours is Just to
tell the people the truth and
not hide anything from them.
And, for that reason, the faith
and confidence that I have al
ways had in the fundamental
intelligence of the American
people was reafiirmed by what I
saw today.
And now, I want to say q per.
sonal word about the magnifi-
cent way that our candidate for
the Presidency has handled this
very difficult situation. A lesser

more interested in politics than
in the future Of the country, a

am not even going to wait
until the evidence Is in before
I make up my mind"
And let me say this: I am
glad Gen. Eisenhower didn't do
that, because there has been too
much Of that in the present ad-
ministration. There is too much
of this business Of cover-up: too
much of this business Of clam
ming up whenever any charges
are made against those In high
places.
The people don't want any
more Of it and they are not go
ing to have it under Eisen-

And, you know, I think his
action was in happy contrast to
what we have had in the past
seven years with the, man who is

Now, may Isay one final word
to you. I realize that this is a
meeting which is primarily
sponsored by Republicans. After
all, we are candidates on the
Republican ticket.
Just let me say this: I say
that this year millions Of Demo-
Gratis are going to vote for Els
enhower for President. I am
going to tell you why: For the
reason that Gov. James Byrnes
gave a few days ago when he
said he was going to vote for
Eisenhower. Here is a man who
was former Chief Justice Of the
United States. a man who was
Secretary Of State In the Demo-
cratic administration. He was
a Democrat from South Caro-
lima. and you know down there.
folks, Republican is a bad word.
They don't even say it. And yet
he said, II am going to vote
for Eisenhower" s
Why? Because he said ut. is
time that We place loyalty to
country above loyalty to party"
and that is what. is involved in
this case. And, looking at this
very incident that l. speak Of.
compare what Gen. Eisenhower
has done in this case; waiting
until the facts were in, demand
ing that all the facts came out
before he ruled .on it, and then
making a ruling which was fair
In his judgment. ~
Compare that with the ae-
tions Of President Truman. and
I submit to you also, compare
him with the man that Presi-
dent Truman has picked to sue

has taught bis successor very
well because you know that he
won't tell the American people
about q fund that they raised
for him. and ] say this, that
his refusal to tell the American
people the truth about the fund
that was raised for him, and
that he admits was raised

WHEELING. w. Va. Sept.
25.-Here' Is the tert OF Senator
Nir0n's speech last night:
I want to say to this great
audience tonight that ] have
always been proud to be an
American citizen; but there are
two times in my life when !
think that ! have been prouder
to be an American than any
other time You know when the
chills run up your back, and
you realize down deep what q
great and good country this Is.
Both Of those times the man
who is going to be the Presi-
dent Of the United States next
January was there.
The first time he didn't know
I was there. and let me tell you
about that. You recall We
day, and you recall after We
day that Gen.. Eisenhower came
home. And they had a great
parade for him. one Of those
ticker tape affairs. I was in the
Navy then: I had returned from
the South Pacific and was COM
pleting my Navy service down on
SO Church street. And ] remem-
ber looking out a window about
80 stories UP as the parade with
Gen. Eisenhower went by on
the street below.
The streets were crowded
with people. There was tre-
mendous enthusiasm. And my
glimpse of him only was in
that characteristic gesture OF
his-you know where he had
his hands up, and I could see
that he was smiling and I
sensed then the magnetism. the
warmth. the greatness. that not
only makes him q wonderful
candidate, but is going to make
him a great President Of the
United States.
And then I want you to know
that the other time when !
think that I have had this feel
ing most deeply was today. Last
night, I went before q great
number Of my fellow Americans
and laid before them q case, a
case which some Of them I knew
honestly misunderstood. q case
which I felt it was my obliga-
tion to present to them because.
it seems to me that candidates
for the presidency and the
vice presidency Of the United
States, as Gen. Eisenhower says,
have got to be as clean as a
hounds tooth. They have got
to have integrity and honesty.
and the people have got to
know it.
That is why I went before
the people that I did and pre-
sented my case to them in
answer to charges which had
been made. And, let me say
today that to pass through this
country Of ours. from all the
way out in Los Angeles to Mis-

ally, is a beautiful city out in
