Democrat Says COP.
Paid Truman S Booers
By the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 11:-Paul E
Fitzpatrick. New York State Dem
Ocratic chairman, charged today
that local Republican leaders paid
children to boo President Truman
on his whistle-stop tour across the
State.
He said he was informed this
was done at the direction of the
Republican State Committee.
Harvey Call, publicity director
of the Republican State Commit
tee. commented:
How asinine can you get? The
way the President conducted him
self it would not be necessary to
pay anybody to boo him."
Mr.. Truman whistle stopped
across the State yesterday and
spoke in New York City today in
behalf of Gov. Stevenson. Cheers
were mixed with boos along the
way.
Mr. Fitzpatrick charged here
that "the Republican State Com
mittee is deliberately melting
groups of teen-age youngsters to
show disrespect for the honored
Office of the presidency"
Il was shocked at stop after
stop on Fridays whistle-stop tour
to observe small but vocal groups
of youngsters booing the Presi-
dent" Mr.. Fitzpatrick said. Most
of these groups carried painted
signs"

FEPC Move Was High
On Gov. Stevenson's List

Let me tell you some of the
things he has done. When he
gave his inaugural address as
Governor in 1949, he listed the
matters he wanted the Illinois
legislature to take up. High on
the list was an FERC. But Adlai
Stevenson was not asking for
the toothless kind of FEPC so
you can imagine what happened
to his request. 1t passed the
Democratic House only to be
killed by the Republican Senate.
In the following session, both
houses of the Illinois legislature
were Republican controlled.
That year, the House bill died in
committee. But now get this.
The Republican controlled SEN
ate committee reported out
Adlai Stevenson's FEPC, but
they brought it out with a
recommendation that it not be
passed.
This is an example of the
same kind of Republican double
talk we get in Washington.
Now let me tell you about
some other things Adlai Steven
son did. He didn't make lot
OF noise about them. He Just
quietly issued an executive or
der ending segregation in the
Illinois National Guard. And
he issued another executive or
der taking race out of the
Illinois employment service
forms. And it was during his
administration that segregation
was finally wiped out in the
Illinois public schools. Some
OF our generals could take les
sons from him in how to get
things done.
Adlai Stevenson also helped
make it possible for Negro sail
ors to have duties other than
as meSSmen. That was during
the war when he was assistant
to the Secretary Of the Navy.
You people know that if there

is one thing I have fought for
as President of the United
States, it has been the protec-
ton Of the God-given rights Of
every citizen of this great coun-
try. I solemnly pledged myself
to that task at a meeting like
this four years ago. Today, I
have listed some of the things
we have accomplished in that
great fight. And Adlai Steven
son has shown by his record
that he will continue that fight
with renewed vigor. =
Now, it's not enough to nod
our heads in agreement when
we talk about this fight we
have been waging together.
You must go to the polls in
such numbers that you can de-
feat the forces Of reaction. You
have until 1880 o'clock tonight
to register to vote. Make sure
that your name is on the books
and that your friends and
neighbors' names are on the
books-by the time those books
close tonight. And on Novem-
ber 4, let's roll up great ma
jority for Adlai Stevenson and
a Democratic Congress that will
support him in his battle for
civil rights.

Nixon Hits Stevenson
As WALKING Mouse

SUNDAY, OCTOBER I2, 1852

BINGHAMTON, N. Y. Oct. IL
Senator Nixon tonight labeled
Gov. Stevenson a Waiting mouse
candidate" and said "the Truman
Acheson stumblebum program
caused the Korean war.
Winding up a days whistle
stopping through South-Central
New York State the Republican
vice presidential nominee con-
tinued to blast President Tru-
mans foreign policy.
Favored by sunny skies in nor
mally Republican communities,
the Senator's platform speeches
from his l4-car special train drew
enthusiastic crowds. Police esti-
mated 5000 turned out at Elmira
and $500 at Corning and another
400 for an unscheduled talk at
Salamanca.
Blasts Foreign Policy.
Senator Nixon charged in q
speech delivered here that the
foreign policy of Mr.. Truman and
Secretary of State Acheson has
led us down the crooked path
way to bloody undeclared war
with the most populous nation
on earth-Red China" He added:
1T has hamstrung our fighting
men and their commanders with
the wobbliest set of policy deci-
Sions in United States diplomatic
history.
1T has saddled us with the
greatest 'peacetime'-I use the
word in quotes-military budget
ever attempted by a Nation tech
nically not at war; and again I
quote"
Holds Korean War Avoidable.
Senator Nixon declared that the
United States could have avoided
the Korean war had our State
Department displayed an iota Of
intelligence or an ounce of in
testinal fortitude in the last seven
dreary years"
The night speech followed the
theme that Senator Nixon drove
hard to put across to friendly
trainside audiences all day, be-
ginning at jamestown this morn
ing.
The Californian moved into
New York'S Southern-tier last
night from a 2-day sweep through

dio campaign program from New
York City, and then will fly west
to rejoin his special train at Mid

even that version to come to a
vote in the Senate. His is the
party that beat a retreat this
year in the civil rights plank Of
its platform.
G. 0. P. Refuses to Pledge
Effective Action on Rights
And while the Republican
candidate was in uniform, he
told the Armed Services Com
mittee of the Senate that
certain amount of segregation
is necessary in the Army. You
and I know that this is morally
wrong. And what's more, it's
even militarily wrong. Our
troops in Korea are demonstrate
ing, every day, that Americans
can stand side by side, regard
less of color-and fight better
because of it.
And the Republican candidate,
and mis- party, and his party's
platform have refused to pledge
effective action for assuring
equal rights for all our citi-
zens. You could not even depend
on them to save what we have
now--and that isn't good
enough.
And now. while the Repub-
lican candidate is whispering
promises to you, he has been
touring the Souths to WOO the
Dixiecrats into the Republican
fold. What do you think the
Republican candidate and a
Dixiecrat governor talk about
when they sit down together for
lunch? Do you think they talk
about civil rights? Maybe they
talk about taking them away.
You can draw your own con-
clusion when the Dixiecrat gov
ernor announces, after the
lunch, he's going to vote Re-
publican this year.
l am afraid, my friends, that
the Republican candidate does
not offer you much hope so far
as civil rights are concerned.
On the other hand, there is
the Democratic Party - the
party of proven performances.
This is the party that has taken
the great forward steps I have
just described - the greatest
Since the abolition of slavery.
The Democratic platform this
year contains the strongest civil
rights plank ever adopted by a
political party in this country.
Our candidates have taken their
stand firmly on that platform.
You can count on them to fight
to carry it out.
You placed your trust in me
four years ago when dedicated
myself to our great cause, and
have tried not to let you
down. I am here today to tell
you that you can place the same
trust in the Democratic candi-

Five Years of Fighting
BY Believers in Civil Rights


Their report is one of
our great American documents.
When it was handed to me, ]
said that it was q new charter.
Of human freedom. Five years
have passed. but I have never
seen anything to make me
change my mind. These five
years have seen some hard fight
ing by those who believe in civil
rights for all our people-women
like that great lady Eleanor
Roosevelt, men like your own
good Senators, Herbert Lehman
and Bob Wagner-and the fine
Democrats you have sent from
New York to the House of Rep
resentatives. These five years
have seen a lot of progress
progress in spite of obstacles
that have been placed in our
way
I want to review that progress
with you today.
Right after the Committee on
Civil Rights made its report to
me. sent to the Congress .
special message making 10 rec
concentrations for new legisla-
tion. Only two of those 10 rec
concentrations have been ap-
proved by the Congress. The OPP
ponents of civil rights in Con-
gress have blocked every effort
to enact such important legis-
lation as a fair employment
practice law, an anti-poll tax
law, and an anti-lynch law. Not
only that. they have succeeded
in changing the rules under
which Congress operates. so as
to make it practically impossible
to stop fillibuster.
Who are the opponents of
civil rights? All you have to do
is look at the record. I sent a
good FEPC bill to Congress:
but the Republicans introduced
the Mcconnell Amendments
toothless substitute for FEPC.
And the Republicans in the
House voted 2 to / for that
Misunderstanding the Demo-
cratic majority that wanted
FEPC. The Republicans also in
troduced and got passed in the
Senate the Wherry rule making
it next to impossible to stop fill
busters.
1t is no accident that these
anti-civil rights measures bear
the names of Republican legis-
lators. Republicans introduced
them. and Republicans ap-
proved them. The Republicans
deserve this recognition, for
they are always on tap to pro-
vide just enough votes to insure
the defeat Of civil rights
measures.
When the Congress refused
to act, l went ahead to do what
I could within the executive

dates this election year. And I
assure you with all the sim
cerity I have. that they will full
I'LL your trust in the same way.
Adlai Stevenson has shown by
everything he has done and said
that he believes deeply in the
equality of human beings. He
will bring new courage and new
energy to the fight for civil
rights.
He has the courage to say
the same things about civil
rights in New York and in Rich
mond, Virginia. He has been a
great civil rights governor and
he will make a great civil rights
president.

Stevenson Restored Order
In Cicero With Troops

In Cicero With troops
Last year, mob formed in
Cicero, Illinois, to prevent a
Negro veteran and his family
from moving into an apartment
house. Fortunately, Illinois
was blessed with a great Cover
nor who is now your Demo-
cratic candidate for President.
Gov. Stevenson, who believes
in action in these matters, re-
stored law and order with the
National Guard. But a local
grand jury did the incredible
thing of indicting-not the ring
leaders of the mob-but the
Negro veterans lawyer and the
property owner. At this point
the Federal Government stepped
in to prevent a gross miscarriage
of justice. It obtained an indict-
ment of the city officials who
failed in their duty to assure
equal justice under law. And
the officials who had abetted
the mob were tried and con-
victed in Federal Court.
1t was also last year that the
Nation was shocked by the bomb
murder in Florida, of Harry T.
Moore and his wife. These
tragic deaths came shortly after
the bombings of Synagogues and
Catholic churches and of the
housing project at Carver
Village. For several months the
FBI has been gathering evil
dence on the mobS responsible
for these outrages. And this
week, the United States Govern
ment began to present that
evidence to Federal grand
jury in Miami.
These are examples of how
your Federal government
under a Democratic President
stands behind the Constitutional
guarantees of human rights.
The Federal Government could
do a better job if we had
stronger civil rights laws-and
we must never let down in
pressing for those laws.
Now. the progress we have
been making in the field of
human rights is in grave
danger. Make no mistake about
that.
We are menaced by the forces
of reaction which would have
our Government turn its back
upon the common man. These
forces of reaction are organized
in the Republican Party. They
would have our Government
cease to be what it has been
for twenty years-under the
Democrats-the protector of the
weak against the mighty. And
these policies, as sure as we are
standing here, would lead us
back to the dark days of the
depreSSion-and depression is
always a breeder Of hate among
human beings A
You and l are not going to
let this happen. We are not
going to turn the clock back.
We are not going to turn this
country over to the greedy
interests that control the Re-
publican Party. They're not
interested in equal rights.
Now remember this. One per-
son in this country has to think
of all the people all the time,
and that person is the PreSi-
dent of the United States. II
you want this civil rights pro-
gram to continue, you must
make the right man President
this year.
On the one hand, there is the
Republican candidate for PreSi-
dent. He is. the front man for
the party that adopted the
Wherry rule in the Senate
making it harder to stop a fill
buster than at any time in
history. His party is the one
that produced a watered- down
version of the FEPC in the
House-and would not permit
