Gov. Dewey was supposed to
complete his introduction in time
to let Gen. Eisenhower go on the
air at 10 pm. and in the midst of
his outburst he turned to the pre-
siding officer and asked in a sotto
voice, How much time have

utes left, Gov. Dewey resumed his
verbal barrage.
He said the two men running
against Gen. Eisenhower had de-

Mr.. Mitchell drew applause when
he praised the District club as

On this thought. he likened Gen
Eisenhower to Gen. U. S. Grant
who, as President, he said, was
completely unaware of the new
economic forces then being
shaped"
Gen. Grants political senses
were as untutored as those of a
Sioux Indian" he said.
Among outstanding develop

paign. he said, was that Gov
Stevenson has talked sense to the
American people and that they
like it,"
And the Eisenhower military
mind has been exposed to the
people, and they don't like it," he
added.

New York Times Calls
Again for Election
OF Gen. Eisenhower
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-The New
York Times, speaking as IAN in
dependent newspaper" today re-
affirmed its support for the elec-
ton of Gen. Eisenhower.
In a two-column editorial. the
Times recalled that six months be-
fore the Republican National Con-
vention it had expressed the hope
that Gen. Eisenhower would be
nominated.
At that time, today's editorial
said, the newspaper declared it's
readiness to support him in the
event he becomes a candidate"
I'VE would make the same
choice today" the Times added,
"even in the absence of this prior
commitment"
The election of Gen. Eisenhower.
the Times said. would revitalize
the two-party system in the United
States"
The newspaper termed the gen.
eral the architect of victory" in
World War II. with a soldiers
knowledge of how to cut military
expenditures without impairing
military efficiency.
Also, the Times said. Gen. Eisen-
hover properly asks for the de-
feat of the Democratic Party i
on the issue of corruption"
The Times also praised the gem
erals stand on decentralization in
Government. On the issue of the
Taft Hartley Act. it said, Gen. Eli
senhoWer has been friendly and
cooperative" toward labor while
standing by the safeguards which
bipartisan Congress put into that
legislation. :"
However, the Times said it |
deeply regretted" Gen. Eisenhow-
er's Endorsement of Republican
Senators Mccarthy of Wisconsin,
Jenner of Indiana, and former
Senator Revercomb of West Vir-
ginia, who again seeks Office.

known on some important ques-
tions." and 'on other important
questions the position he has
taken has been far from reassur-
ing"
While crediting Gov. Stevenson
with sincere intention to clean up
the mess in Washington" the
editorial said:
But when tin boxes are
uncovered and the smell of graft
is strong, we do not call for the
same party to be returned to
power, with the simple change of
a new candidate -. We call in
stead for a change of parties. %"

know that the comforting feeling is
only an illusion"
Although Gen. Eisenhower did
not spell it out, his imitation speech
apparently was aimed, in part, at
the controversy which developed
about two years ago between the
Treasury Department and the Fed
eral Reserve Board over the extent
ito which interest rates should be
used to check imitation.
The Treasury wanted interest
rates kept down to facilitate the
sale of Government bonds. Critics
of that policy argued that higher
interest rates would have checked
the inf1ationary trend. At one
point in the controversy President
Truman put a new chairman on
the Federal Reserve Board in
place OF MIR. Eccles, who remained
for a while as board member.
Today an Important Day.

in Gen. Eisenhower'S campaign,
because it may determine whether
he is to get New York's big bloc

State. Republican Senator Ives of

Dr.. Bean, Accurate 1913 Seer,
Refuses to Give 1852 Forecast

DIR. Louis H. Bean last night
refused to peer into his statistical
crystal ball for the outcome of the
presidential election two weeks
hence.
II am no prophet" declared DR..
Bean, who was one of the lonely
few who foresaw' a Truman VIC
tory in 1948.
The slight, graying Agriculture
Department economist, to whom
charts and figures are fun at
home as well. gently repulsed the
efforts Oh journalism students and
reporters to edge him out on a
limb.
This was after he had outlined
his system of election analyses
of the past, in a talk before nearly
200 guests of Sigma Delta Phi,
professional journalism fraternity,
in the National Press Club.
Restates Old Position.
About as far as DR.. Bean would
go was to restate his position as
of last spring. At that time, on
the basis of the 1948 presidential
election, the 1850 congressional
elections and popular pulse sound
ings by the pollsters early this
year. the economist averred that
a Democratic trend was operat-
ing.
Too many factors, beside past
history. are at work to permit a
prophecy for November 4. DR.
Bean explained.

say about the liberation of East
ern Europeans early in the cam
paign is still an important issue
in Buffalo, where the population
is nearly one-third Polish. And
Gov. Stevenson devoted a con-
siderable part of his speech to it.
The generals proposal on lib
era ting Communist dominated
populations, he suggested, plays
into the hands of the enemies of
Ia free and independent Poland
not out of design, I am sure, but
out of careless eagerness to win
votes
1T is awfully easy" Gov. Ste
Ivenson said, ito urge revolt when

Iically irresponsible"
Stresses Social Reforms.
On the domestic front, he OBJ
served that the only countries
in the world where the Commu-
mist disease has made any serious
headway are those countries
where social and economic prog
ress has been slow and want and
misery are prevalent"
The strongest bulwark against
communism in America, he said,
are those social reforms which
have been instituted by the DEM
ocratic regime, over the opposi-
ton of the Republicans in Con-
greSS.
Il wouldn't trust them with
these programs" he added, las
far as I could throw an elephant" :"
above ALL" Gov. Stevenson
said, IF you really want Com
munists in the United States the
quickest way to breed them is to
have another great depression.
And what group in America can
best be relied on to produce a de-
preston? I don't want to make
any dogmatic answers. but the
Old Guard of the Republican Par
ty has certainly had enough prac-
tice."
Moves Into Pennsylvania.
Gov. Stevenson's schedule to-
day called for a speech from the
rear platform of his train at Dun
kirk, N. Y, and a talk at the rail
station at Erie, Pa.-his first di-
rect bid for Pennsylvania's 80
electoral votes.
Then the itinerary takes him
back into Ohio for talks in Ash
tabula, Youngstown, Ravenna,
Akron. and on to Cleveland. He
campaigned yesterday in Toledo,
Sandusky and Elyria in Ohio.
In Toledo, Gov. Stevenson told
Ia crowd estimated at $4,000 that
this country faces a long and
tough fight against "a great and
powerful international conspir-
Iacy" of Communists.
OHer you no sou counsel,
he said. If that is what you want,
I tell you straight out not to vote
for me-"
At Sandusky. where the crowd
was estimated at from 1900 to
l 1900, Gov. Stevenson said:
America is asking what we
propose to CO about high prices.
The Republican answer is Moth
ling"
The opposition party in Con-
gress, the Governor added. actu-

Gen. Eisenhower Wins
Endorsement Of us
More al Columbia
by the Associofsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Gen.
Eisenhower, who is on leave as
president of Columbia University,
had the backing today of IT'S more
faculty and staff members at the
school.
The o-Eisenhower Columbians
took a full page newspaper adver-
tisement to announce their posi-
ton and added:
"The present statement is
not to be construed as official. We
stress that point. The number of
signers. however, provides rather
striking evidence of the fact that
Columbia's campus sentiment is
much more in favor of the general
than of his opponent.
1--WE would point out that there
has been no poll of the university
faculty. We believe that it is not
necessary or desirable that there
be one. Columbia, and Columbia S
faculty as a group, should not be
in partisan politics"
Gov. Stevenson previously has
drawn public support from 300
Columbia faculty members.
Those signing today's indorse-
ment of Gen. Eisenhower included
80 faculty members who previously
had declared themselves for the
general.
There are nearly 1000 faculty

What that complete network
might consist of Mr.. Wyatt appar-
emily was not ready to explain,
He made it clear, however, that
the Governor in tonight's speech
will address himself to the ap-
parent Republican tactics for the
wlndup of their campaign
which Mr.. Wyatt himself de-
Scribed as smear tactics"
Pressed for detail, he added that
the Cleveland speech will deal
with the issue of communism. It
will deal with the Hiss case. 1t
will deal generally with the other
smear tactics"
Mr. Wyatt also made it clear
that Gen. Eisenhower will be the
target of the Governors speech.
Following is the exchange Mr..
Wyatt had with a reporter:
Reporter-Will it (the speech
be directed at Gen. Eisenhower?
Mr.. Wyatt-Well, he is the gen.
eral of the team. He says he is
the one who is making the deci-
sionS.
Reporter-I thought you said
Taft was. I thought the party

Mr.. Wyatt-He says that he is.
Reporter-Do you think that
he is?
Mr.. Wyatt-No.
Reporter-Neither do I.
Hammers at G. O. p.
There is one thing that needs
TO be pointed out about the
Democratic tactics on the Com
munist issue. They are by no
means limited to a defense of the
Governors personal record, or
the record. indeed, of the admin
tStration.
Gov. Stevenson's speech last
night was much more in the ma
ture Of an attack. And the re-
action of the crowd of 10000 in
Buffalo's Municipal Auditorium
showed that it was effectively
mounted.
The essence of the argument
was this: The Republican Old
Guard-which still controls the
Republican Party-has acted the
part of an ally of communism at
home and abroad through its
steadfast opposition to every i'm
portant foreign and domestic
program advanced by the Demo-
cratic administration.
In terms Of showmanship, the
Buffalo speech is rated as the
governors most successful since
his appearance in San Francisco
