'ArnaII Sees Victory
Even if Democrats Pull
All Mistakes in Book :
BY the Associated Press


Price Stabilizer Ellis G. Arnall
said last night the Democrats
"can make all the mistakes in
the book" and still win the No

If the Democratic organization
makes few mistakes during the
campaign, he said. Gov. Steven
son may carry as many as A OF
IS States.
Mr.. Arnall. appearing on the
NBC television program meet the
Press" called the Republican
nominee, Gen. Eisenhower, "a fine
gentleman" but said Stevenson
was the most able of the two
candidates for the civilian post
which he seeks"
Other factors favoring the
Democrats. Mr.. Arnall said, are:
l. There are more Democrats
than Republicans.
2. The Democratic platform is
better.
3. Gov. Stevenson and his run
ming mate, Senator Sparkman OF
Alabama, are more effective cam
paigners than their Republican
opponents.
Mr.. Arnall predicted Gov. Stev-
enson would carry Illinois and
California. In addition to these
Mr.. Arnall said, Mr.. Stevenson
would have to carry only New
York, Ohio or Pennsylvania.
On other subjects Mr.. Arnall
stood behind his recent assertion
that the increase in basic steel

Nixon Is Exonerated
OF Anti-Semitism BY
Los Angeles Jews
By fhe Assosiufed Press

DENVER, Aug. ia Los An
geles Jewish organization today
denounced as utterly unfounded
what it termed vicious ''insinua-
tions Of anti-Semitism" directed
against Senator Nixon, the Re-
publican nominee.
Seeking to counteract such at
tacks, Senator Nixon made public
a statement sent to him by the
Community Relations Committee
of the Los Angeles Jewish Com
munity Council.
The California Senator is bas-
ing his operations at present at
the campaign headquarters of
Gen. Eisenhower, presidential can
didate.
Eisenhower Stand Recalled.
Gen. Eisenhower himself spoke
out 10 days ago against appeals to
bigotry and prejudice in political
campaigns. He did so after a
Minnesota COP leader told him
that State had been flooded with
anti-Jewish literature attacking
both the general and President
Truman.
In a statement Of his own to-
day, Nixon said those who would
"Stir up race hatred and bigotry
are violating every concept Of
Americanism." He added:
"They are just as un-American
and anti-American as the Com
munnists. the Nazis and the
Fascists. The spreading Of bigotry
and dissension among our people
is a threat to American liberties. T"
Signed by Judge.
The Los Angeles statement was
signed by Judge Issac Pacht,
chairman Of the Jewish Com
munity Relations Committee.
Judge Pacht said:
Against Senator Nixon the in
situations of anti-Semitism have
been particularly vicious. There
are many of us who support the
Senator for the Vice Presidency.
There are many of us who oppose
him.
Whatever our political differ
ences, however, upon this one fact
we have no difference. We resent
and deplore this accusation.
On a broader basis, Judge Pacht
said there is no justification for
any bigotry charges against Gen.
Eisenhower, Gov. Adlai Stevenson
or Senator Sparkman.

Both Taft and Truman
May Be Prime Targets
In Campaign Barrage
By Jack Bell
Asseeioted Press Stoff Writer

President Truman and Senator
Robert A. Taft-two men who
aren't running may become
major targets in the presidential
campaign.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the
Republican candidate. and Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, his
Democratic opponent, thus far
haven't found anything especially
cutting to say about each other.
But Eisenhower followers have
had plenty to say about Mr.. Tru-
man and his record. In fact. they
are busily engaged in efforts to
hang Truman policies around Mr..
Stevenson's political neck.
Train Guns ON Taft.
And the Stevenson people may
be awaiting only some official
sign that Senator Taft will play
an active part in Gen. Eisen-
hower's campaign to let go a
blast at the Ohio Senator and
his wing of the Republican Party.
Mr.. Truman said even before
the Chicago conventions that the
Republican nominee would have
to carry along the weight of what
he called "isolationist" sentiment
in his party. Senator Taft was
tabled as an "isolationist" during
the primary campaign by Gov.
Sherman Adams Of New Hamp-
shire, now head Of Gen. EiSen-
hower'S personal staff.
The CIO, which has indorSed
Mr.. Stevenson, plans a renewed
drive for repeal of the Taft
Hartley Labor Act, indorsed in
the Republican platform.
Seeks Labor Support.
Gen. Eisenhower has indicated
he intends to bid for organized
labor's vote despite the CIO in
dorsement Of his opponent and
has tentatively scheduled a speech
before the AFL convention OPEN
ing September Is in New York
City.
The Republican nominee is ex-
pected to confer with Senator Taft
within the next few weeks on how
much the Ohio Senator will be
asked to do in the general elec-
ton campaign.
The Columbus Dispatch report
ed Saturday that Taft definitely
will take an active part in the
Eisenhower campaign. It quoted
him in a telephone interview from
Canada as saying he expects to
confer in Washington about Sep
