OcWcy WHO Charged ldSC ulg0G
that ANY man who would, to pe
President. accept such an unholy,
filthy. sinking campaign is unfit
to hold any Office in the United
States"
Gov. Dewey said he wants a
President who can give us peace
and prosperity not dependent on
the dead and mangled bodies of
American boys"
Last night Gen. Eisenhower was
standing in the wings of the field
house at Rensselaer, Polytechnic
Institute with the imitation speech
once more in his hand when Gov.
Dewey got up to introduce him.
The New York Governor began by
recalling that on January 10 Presi-
dent Truman said at a press con-
ference that IF Ike wants to run
for President it's all right with
me-" but he will have to be pre-
pared for the dead cats, rotten
eggs and tomatoes that will be
thrown.
Gov. Dewey said he thought the
President was merely referring to
the fact that things are sometimes
thrown at presidential candidates
What I didn't know was that
Harry was going to do the throw
ing" Gov. Dewey added.
Answers Truman's Charge.
Answering the Presidents recent
charge that Gen. Eisenhower is
conducting a gutter" campaign,
Gov. Dewey said:
MY Lord. he invented the gut
ter campaign. A man who couldn't
keep atomic secrets talks that
way"
Further on Gov. Dewey shout
ed. How low can you get to con-
ceal the skeletons in your own
White House"
In an obvious reference to a
charge by President Truman that
Gen. Eisenhower lis willing to ac-
lcept the very practices that iden-
tify the so-called master race, "
Gov. Dewey said:
1T wasn't necessary to call on
Cardinal Spellman, Rabbi Silver
and Bernard Baruch to show that
Harry Truman can't be believed
under oath"
Gov. Dewey said that the issue
is whether you shall let two men
meet behind the barn to make
an unholy bargain as to who
shall pick up the manure and
throw it. and who shall try to be
President"
AS the hands Of the clock
reached the hour of 10, Gov.
Dewey ended his attack and in
troduced Gen. Eisenhower as "the
greatest living American"
Eisenhower Ad Libs.
After he had read his prepared
speech on imitation, Gen. Eisen-
hover ad libbed a statement that
his conclusions on the issue of
the campaign are his own. II
have no masters voice." he said.
In contrast to the Dewey
speech Gen. Eisenhower closed by
saying, II have no hymn of hate,
no song of villif1cation. I do offer
you the convictions in my heart" :"
In his imitation speech Gen.
Eisenhower sought to explode the
Democratic theme song that,
You never had it so good" by
charging that the administration
has followed monetary policies
ito give more people more money
that is worth less"
The general said administration
fiscal policies confused some of its
own economists to the point where
they resigned. He referred to
Mariner Eccles. former chair
man Of the Federal Reserve Board.
and Edwin Nourse, one-time
member of the Presidents council
of economic advisers.
The Republican nominee also
quoted Democratic Senator Doug
las Of Illinois as having described
the administrations effort to halt
imitation in these words: "Tax,
confused and imprudent.
Gen. Eisenhower said that, while
the average family income went up
from $500 in 1945 to $4,000 in
1851. rising prices are up nine
tenthS of the increase. Higher
taxes took the rest and, a little
more, he said, with the result that
the family could actually buy less
in 1851 than in 1945.
"Of course. everybody likes the
comforting feeling of more money
in his pocket" said the general.
