As George and Russell
Announce Support
By the Associated Press

Expressions of support from the
South, including all-out declara-
tions by Senators Russell and
George of Georgia, were called en-
couraging today by Gov. Steven
son, the Democratic presidential
candidate.
Senator George joined Senator
Russell in predicting a Democratic
sweep. Senator George expressed
the belief that things are looking
up" in turning over to Democratic
national headquarters a check
for 500, 900 he raised among friends
lin Georgia.
Another Southern voice, Repre-
sentative Brooks. Democrat. of
Louisiana also offered support of
Gov. Stevenson and a prediction
THAT Louisiana will go Demo-
cratic. The statement was re-
garded as important in view of
Gov. Kennon's recent decision to
vote for Gen. Eisenhower.
voices SatlSIaCClOn.
Aboard his campaign train,
Gov. Stevenson said he derived
personal satisfaction from Sen
ator Russells generous estimate
Iof my capabilities to provide sue
Icessful leadership"
In an interview at his Vienna
(Ga) home, Senator George said
me had been somewhat out of
touch with campaign Develop
iments, but added:
"All indications that I can
gather are that things are looking
up and looking up rather rapidly
for the Democrats"
Both he and Senator Russell
praised the party's national candi-
date, Gov. Stevenson, as a poten-
TALLY great President. Neither
gave any direct indication of join
ing actively in a speech-making
campaign for the nominee, al
though observers felt that Sena-

statement he issued yesterday at
his home in Winder.

Senator Russell sharply assailed
the Republican candidacy of Gen.
Eisenhower and again declared
Gov. Stevenson and his running
mate, Senator Sparkman of Ala

He said it was well known that
he did not agree fully with all of
Gov. StevenSon's views of with

We Have Come Too Far
To Set Limits Now

Since we have come so far,
who shall be rash enough to set
limits on our future progress?
Who shall say that since we have
gone so far we can go no fur
ther? Who shall say that the
American dream is ended? For
myself, I believe that all we have
done upon this continent is but
a prelude to a future in which
we shall become not only a big
ger people, but also a wiser
people. a better people, an even
greater people. -.. ..
believe that we shall achieve
not only a higher standard of
living. but also a higher stand
ard of life. Never forget this:

ourselves wanting to do it. Power
alone is not enough, nor is faith
alone squal to the task.
The Republican Old Guard
was the power for decades, but
either it did not want to do the
job, or it had no faith in the
American future.
We Democrats always had the
faith. but it was only these last
years that we had the power.
We Joined faith with power, and
then all the people came in to
their rightful inheritance that
had long been denied them.
All this is part of the belief
Of my party, that almost any,
thing can be done if there is a
will to do it.
We do not believe that we
must have depressions any more
than we must have smallpox.
We prevent smallpox, and we can
prevent the economic miseries
that are even more destructive.
We are not puppets of faith.
We do not have to sit and take
it. We can will to do the thing,
to use our great bounty for our
benefit, and without sacrificing
our form of government, and
we can do them. We propose
to continue upon our course.
The future is to those who take
it. We can strike off the
shackleS that still bind the
United States. It is the duty of
leaders to lead; of the creative
to create; of the daring to do.
The free world expects leader

faith depends upon our leader
ship. The life or death issue of
war or peace hangs upon it.
We are a hundred and fifty-five
million strong. We are indus
trious, inventive, restless with
the fires that burn. within us.
We are free-trading people with
a confident, free-swinging stride
that marks the American wher-
ever he goes upon this earth.
We are conquerors of time and
OF distance. We have explored
the awful jungles of matter,
and have emerged with the DOW

Paul R. Porter Eager
To Answer Charges
OF Pro-Red Leaninus

Paul r. Porter, top Mutual Sc
curity Agency official in Europe.
said in Paris today he is eager
for prompt hearing on pro-
Communist charges aired by
Senator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan.
Senator Ferguson demanded
yesterday that MSA call Mr.. Por-
ter back for questioning by a Sem
ate watch dog" subcommittee on
foreign aid on whether he ever
had Communist leanings.
An official of MSA who talked
with Mr.. Porter by transatlantic
telephone today told a reporter
Mr.. Porter is ready to come to
Washington whenever the sub
committee is ready to hear him.
Recalling that he had been q
member of the Socialist Party in
his youth. Mr.. Porter declared he
is being attacked for a youthful
opinion long since discarded" He
asked Ito be judged on my whole
record"
Name Similar to Ex-OPA Chiefs.
Mr.. Porter has been deputy for
economic affairs to Ambassador
William H. Draper, jr.. special
United States representative in
Europe who oversees the entire
military-economic foreign aid pro-
gram. He is not to be confused
with Paul A. Porter, Washington
attorney and former OPA admin
iStrator.
Deputy MSA Director w. John
kenney said Mr.. Porter was

survey estimated the margin at
perhaps $4,000
The shift is attributed in large
measure to a reappraisal of the
showing the Progressive Party
candidate, Vincent Hallinan, may
make. In New York City, Mr.. Hal
Imam now is expected to collect a
larger city vote. But newsmen be-
lieve his vote upstate will be
negligible.
Elsewhere in the Middle Allan
tice area, editors say Gen. Eisen-
hover generally has picked up a
little power in the weeks since the
first survey.
They say the stepped-up cam
paign Gen. Eisenhower has put
on since the first OF September
seems to have helped his cause.
Many believe the COP. has been
helped, too, by the dramatic way
in which Senator Nixon of Cali
forinia, Republican vice presiden-
tial nominee, unfolded on tele-
vision and radio the story of his
finances and an $4,000 political
fund.
In contrast, Gov. Stevenson's
disclosure Of his own income tax
returns and the operations of a
fund used to supplement salaries
of eight Illinois State officials was
interpreted as having done little
to build up the Democratic polit-
ical fortunes.
Here and there an editor says
President Truman's "give-em-
hell" speech along the whistle
stops are backfiring on the Demo-
Gratis, or that Gov. Stevenson is
being injured by ties with Mr..
Truman,
Hard Campaigning Ahead.
Even with Gen. Eisenhower
rated ahead in all the Middle
Atlantic States. the region still is
a major battle ground. Both Gov.
Stevenson and Gen. Eisenhower
plan to hit hard in New York and
Pennsylvania as the campaign
runs its course. Heavy campaign
ing in the home stretch still might
sway voters, particularly those
who make up their minds at the
last minute.
In the last four presidential
elections. all flve Middle Atlantic
States followed a consistent vot-
ing pattern. They were on the
winning side with the Democrats
in 1896. 1910. and 1914, then sup
ported the losing Republican
ticket in 1913.
But it was only because Henry
A. Wallace's Progressive Party
pulled votes away from Mr.. Tru-
man four years ago that the
COP. squeezed out skimpy vic
tories in New York and Maryland.
State by State, this is the way
the editors and political writer's

in the Middle Atlantic area. (Elec-
toral votes in parenthese):
New York (45).
Estimates from 66 newspapers
add up to indications the cam
paign twists and turns have en-
abled Gov. Stevenson to whittle
away nearly a fourth of the $780,
000-vote margin Gen. Eisenhower
was credited with at the beginning
Of September.
The calculations still leave Gen.
Eisenhower an indicated 1000
vote edge if the election were run
of at this time. That compares
with the 61.000-vote margin by
which Gov. Dewey captured his
home State four years ago from
President Truman. -
The figuring is on the assump-
ton the total vote this year will
be about the same as the g.

drawing its life from the lives
of the people. We believe that
government must be responsive
to the pressures of life. That
its tasks must be necessitated by
the needs of life. That is the

we live. Government must adopt
itself to that changing environ

ward. We believe that the roots
of the great American tree are
the people. We know that as
these roots are nourished, so
will the tree grow.
So believing, you and I, all
of us working together, have
made the United States the Won
der of the world, and let us see
how far we have come.
We have protected ourselves
against predatory combinations
of capital. We Democrats recog-
nize that in a big country we
must have big business. We
need it. We applaud, we are
proud of it's ability to produce,
and produce efficiently. There
is an indispensable place for big
business in our society. but it
must not GUST men from their
proper places. We have set
ourselves to prevent that.
So doing, we have been ac-
cused of usurping the liberties
of some of the people. Here let
me tell you what Abraham Lin
coin once said about this, and
I quote him:
THE shepherd drives the
wolf from the sleeps throat,
for which the sheep thanks the
shepherd as its liberator, while
the wolf denounces him as the
destroyer of liberty.
The sheep and its wolves
are not agreed upon a defini-
ton of the word liberty, and
precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human
creatures, all processing to love
liberty. Hence we behold the
process by which thousands are
passing from under the yoke of
bondage, hailed by some as the
advancing of liberty, and be-
walled by others as the de-
struction of all liberty.
Recently the people have
been doing something to define
liberty, and thanks to them the
VOLTS dictionary has been re-
pudiated."

To Voices of Past

MY IrlendS, When you hear
such voices do not reply to them.
just remember who you are. You
are Americans. Your forebeares
found a wilderness and they be-
gan to convert it into a fair land
with only three weapons: With
the Bible, the axe and the ploW.
Nothing stayed them; neither
the perils of death, nor wounds,
nor savage mountains, nor wide
rivers. nor the unknown into
which they plunged. They were
of every racial stock and every
religious faith, and each
brought something of the old
country to the new country.
And different though they were
they became one.
This is her heritage, and this
is our true glory. We are
people, I tell you, that is just
beginning its high adventure on
this continent. 1t is an adven-
ture which though young as we
are, We have done this: Our
people have had more happi-
ness and prosperity, over a
wider area for a longer time
than men have ever had since
they began to live in ordered
societies 1000 years ago.
But this great accomplish
ment has not been stainless by
any means. There have been
many injustices and inequali-
ties. For some, because of race.
religion or color, a special and
unfortunate fate has been de-
creed. But happily, we are now
rapidly removing even those
stubborn old stains from the
fabric of our national life.
The great Presidents who led
the way out-and I am obliged
to suggest that they were most
~ Democrats-had one thing
above all in common. They
wanted strong, prosperous
people in a strong, secure coun-
try. But they asked themselves:
How could this best be done
within our traditions? They
found this answer in sound
American common sense.
The best way. they concluded,
was to release the Shackled
energies of the American people.
Let their energies play upon the
resources of this Nation dor
mant in our soil. Let the riv-
ers be harnessed, the flood wa
ters impounded behind dams.
and the soil saved and roads
constructed, that man partake
fully of the fruits Of their own
toll. Let them be well shell
tered, we'll clothed, their hopes
sing where fear once croaked.
So it came about, much of it in
the past two decades, that man
rightfully felt that he was cap
tain of his soul and master Of
his destiny.
Then each man was free to
seek his happiness in his own
way. And as he did so he came
the nearer to realizing our great
aspiration for life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
Don't misunderstood me. AS
have said, the Democratic
Party did not do all this. All
that q political instrument or a
party can do is set the course. It
enabled you to do it for your
selves by setting this country
upon a constructive course, by
giving it purpose, a direction, by
helping those who wanted to
help themselves,

all-time record registration and
vote.
Registration has shot UP all
over the State, but especially in
normally Republican territory. The
big question. one for which there
us no sure answer: What does the
heavy registration and possible
record vote mean?
In upstate counties-those out
side New York City-the voting
history is pretty much Republican.
Yet Stevenson seems to have
picked up more support upstate,
probably at the expense of
Mr.. Hallinan. than has Gen.
Eisenhower.
In ordinarily Democratic New
York City. where Mr.. Hallinan
now is expected to pull a con-
siderably larger vote than was
indicated in the first survey :,
there are signs Gen. Eisenhower
might feel this impact as much
as Gov. Stevenson, or even a bit
more.
Pennsylvania 1927
Many editors saw no indications
OF a change since early Septem-
ber. But a substantial number
cited increased registrations as
likely to give the G. O. P. ticket a
boost. Registrations may set an
all-time high of more than S
million.
Some editors say greater 1egis-
trations reflect intense interest in
the campaign; some say it mirrors
sentiment that the time has come
to change administrations in
Washington.
Most neWsrnen agree the Nixon
financial affair has reacted favor
ably to the Republican cause.
There is widespread agreement,
too. that Pittsburgh ALLEGHENY
County, and Philadelphia will 90
Democratic-and they have more
than third of the votes for the
entire State. If the swing to Gov.
Stevenson is big enough in the
two cities, it could affect the en-
tire Pennsylvania picture.
New Jersey (16)
Gen. Eisenhower would be ex-
pected to pick off all but four of
81 counties if the election were
run off now. The general seems to
have widened an early September
lead.
The Nixon episode apparently
aided the Republican ticket. The
Jersey Journal. one of the few
papers backing Gov. Stevenson,
predicts the Democratic nominee
will win in usually Democratic
Hudson County. But it says he has
Slipped because of the Nixon af-
fair and attacks on Senator Nc
Carthy of Wisconsin, who is
highly regarded here because of
intense anti-Communist feeling
The Trenton Times, backing
Gen. Eisenhower but picking Gov.
Stevenson to take normally Demo-
cratic Mercer County, sees the
Eisenhower campaign as picking
up and: IF it continues, he will
pull even with Stevenson by elec-
ton day."
Maryland (9)
Still doubtful; almost no
change: If anything, the COP may
have picked up a few previously
undecided voters; the Nixon fund
affair evidently was a boon to the
Republicans.
AS in the first survey, estimates
could not be obtained for some
counties in the second round

a fringe State, but with a better

is that all those los votes still

If the election were held today
New York. Pennsylvania and New
Jersey are considered fairly sure
to vote Republican, as they see it.
Maryland and Delaware are listed
nearer the doubtful column but
bending toward the G. o. p.
Yet many of those participating
in the survey sounded this note of
caution: Heavy registrations of
new voters could upset calcula-
tions for any or all the States.
There just isn't any sure way Of
gauging where the new votes will
land.
The professional politicians diff
fer. too. on what a heavy regis
tration and record vote might
signify. Democrats contend a big
vote always favors them; Repub-
licans argue that large registra-
tions this time mean people want
a change and are getting ready to
turn out and vote for one.
In a tight race. the new votes
might be a major or even a
conclusive factor in determining
whether a State backs Gen. Eisen-
hover or Gov. Stevenson.
Insofar as newsmen in the mid
October survey consider all the
Middle Atlantic States likely to go
solidly Republican, results are Just
what they were in earlier sound
ings around Labor Day.
