Truman Is Pleased
With His Reception
On 5tumping Tour
By Cecil HoIlond

President Truman today looket
forward to another cross-countr.
whistle-stop tour in behalf of Gov

Mr.. Truman's schedule calls fol-
another trip to the dedication o1
Hungry Horse dam in Western
Montana October l. Tentative ar
rangements haye been for that
trip by train to give Mr.. Truman
further opportunities for back
platform campaigning for Gov
Stevenson,
Optimism Expressed.
During his whirlwind visit to
the Midwest, Mr.. Truman praised
the Democratic presidential NOM
1nee as a wonderful candidate
and expressed his conviction that
he would be elected in November
He also opened up heavily on
Gen. Eisenhower, the Republican
nominee. He described him as a
lonely. captive candidate" of Re
publican special interests.
One Of his most significant at
tacks--one that is expected to
meet with a sharp reply from the
Republicans-was delivered in Par
kerSburg, w. Va. yesterday after
noon. In that speech he called
Gen. Eisenhower the spokesman
for selfish politicians who would
risk an atomic war with Russia
through loose talk about liberating
the enslaved peoples Of Eastern
Europe.
Gutter Politics" Charged.
Mr.. Truman charged that one
Of Gen. Eisenhower's master
minds" is perfectly willing to
have the Republican Party and the
Republican candidate say things
that increase the risk of war, sim
ply in order to get votes" He de-
scribed this as "cruel, gutter pol
iticS."
Aides said Mr.. Truman referred
to John Foster Dulles. Republican
foreign policy adviser. In New
York, MIR. Dulles commented:
Last week in a debate with me,
Mr.. Averell Hartman, speaking
for the Democratic Party, said
that our Republican program of
liberation had been 'cribbed' from
Democratic policies. Now Presi-
dent Truman says that liberation
Is gutter politics. I wonder
whether they got their wires

Mr.. MechIing is a native Of

He attended elementary and high
school there and for a while at

He went to the University Of
Missouri and was graduated as an

the new Democratic national
chairman, Stephen A. Mitchell.
The regional conference will
provide the necessary contact be-
tween local and national leaders.
It will enable the regional man
ager to brief the national ticket
on the issues peculiar to the area.
But whether this technique will
give the campaign the same lift
at the local level that flows from
the fanfare of the old-fashioned
WhiStlestop remains to be seen.
These modern, air-minded cam
paigners are expected to make
one concession to the old school.
They probably will switch to a
train for the trip through the
fertile valley Of Southern Cali
fornia, for one day.
This is partly recognition of
the Importance of California,
which, because of its rapid growth,
has gained seven electoral votes
this year. This gives it 80 elec-
toral votes and ranks California
on a par with Pennsylvania which
has lost three.
May Double Back.
If the Southern and Border
States stay Democratic this year,
Gov. Stevenson would start with
154 electoral votes. If he should
carry California and his own State
of Illinois, he would be at the 213
mark, with 260 required to win.
He would need only So more votes
from 80 other States.
OF course, it is possible, and
even likely, that the Stevenson
campaign will double back in Oc-
tober into some of the Western
areas it will fly over on this
trip.
The Governors aides revealed
yesterday that, a few days after
returning from the West Coast,
Gov. Stevenson will invade the
East and New England again,
starting on September 18.
Several Democratic leaders from
Missouri told Gov. Stevenson yes
terday he will carry their State
by substantial margin. Among
his callers were Mark r. Holloran,
Missouri Democratic national
committeeman, and John Nangle
