Taft and kefauver
Stage Free-Swinging
Battle on ~ Program

# it should be Taft VS.. Kefauver
IN the main presidential bout, you
can look for a free-swinging battle
right up to the knockout.
The two Senators staged a
gloves-off demonstration of this
on television last night - tall,
Slow-spoken Senator Kefauver
from Tennessee and his vigorous
colleague, Senator Taft of Ohio.
When it ended, the perspiring
Senator Taft called it the hottest
broadcast Of the year-and ap-
parently he wasn't talking about
the weather.
THAT is slur!" Senator Taft
cried at one point.
Then I'll take it back" Kefau-
yer offered.
That was easily the greatest
display Of senatorial courtesy that
occurred as the legiSlatorS-each
leading his party in the number
of convention delegates-debated
foreign policy and a slate full of
other issues on MICS American
Forum of the Air"
Once Senator Kefauver called
Senator Taft an isolationist.
"Oh, No! MOI" the Ohioan OBJ
jected.
Agree on Ending Corruption.
Again Senator Kefauver-who
gained fame as televised crime
prober-said it's necessary to weed
out racketeers and fixers at all
levels.
Senator Kefauver and seem
to agree" Senator Taft inter-
jected, that we ought to throw
the administration out on the
issue of dishonesty"
The series Of barbed exchanges
wound up q busy day for both
candidates.
Senator Taft had been on tele-
vision earlier (CBS' Man of the
Week'D and he said, among other
things, that it's now or never so
far as his presidential hopes are
concerned.
I'm 81 years DID," the Senator
said. land I'll never run for Presi-
dent again."
But he said he thinks he has
Just about enough votes to win the
nomination this time.
What about Gen. Eisenhower's
description of himself. in Detroit
speech Saturday, as a "No-Deal"
candidate?
Senator Taft said he-Taft-
has made no deals. either-and
owes no political debts to any
one.
Was it quite cricket, he was
asked, to choose Taft supporter,
Gen. Macarthur. as the. G. o. P.
convention keynoter?
Senator Taft said it would be
hard to find somebody who hasn't
taken sides. The thing to do, he
added, was to find the best man
for the job.
Senator Kefauver also took part
in an earlier Sunday telecast-E'
playing a real life fathers day
role with his children, his wife
Nancy, his 81-year-old father
and sundry friends sharing the
camera view Of the Senator's back
yard.
Too Exciting for Mrs. Kefauver.
It was all as relaxed as matted
milk at bedtime, but Mrs. Ke.
fauver conf1ded that it still was
too exciting for her tastes.
After the Chicago convention,
win or lose. she said, "we're going
down to the farm in Tennessee ,
and take of our shoes and relax"
Senator Kefauver had a word
ridiculous Gen. Eisenhow-
er's statement that the Federal
budget can be reduced some $40
billion in the next few year.. :
II think he must have been
thinking about something else,"
Senator Kefauver said.
His daughter Diane didn't get
into the backyard act, but the
camera picked her up, looking l.
somewhat wistfully out of an up
stairs window.
She had mumpS.
