MANS TRAIN IN MONTANA,
Oct. Lit is high drama when
q President Of the United States
taunts famed general. to whom
he once entrusted the greatest
armies ever built, with giving
him bad advice on the crucial
issue Of the age.
Huge Montana seems-and
is-a long way from vital

important. They don't laugh

Perhaps the President is only

too. he Is rejecting questions
that Americans have already
thought about. Mr.. Truman
has demonstrably always been
much closer to the hopes and
fears Of the people than the
intellectuals and sophisticates
Of Washington were willing to
admit.
In his first a. hours on the
road, he has made plain the
task he has set himself in this
campaign. It Is to cut Gen.
Eisenhower down to size.
The President states his
justification with his usual
bluntness.
At Havre, Mont: "After
the war, the Republican can
didate said he saw no reason,
why Russia and the United
States would not remain the
closest possible friends-he was
then commanding general in
Europe and he was in close con-
tact with the Russians. His
advice carried great weight
and therefore did q great deal

to take q stand at Korea. He
took it. It's as simple as that
to him. His is not the COM
plicated or fretful sort Of mind
to 60 back and ponder and
worry about 'what might have
been" in the policy that pre-
ceded 1t, which history must be
left to assess and Of which liv-
ing politicians make political
capital. Korea was finally "it'
to him. That's all. How simply
he sees 1t is illustrated In one
paragraph from . speech on
this tour:
Eve moved into Korea to
make 1t plain to the Kremlin
that the free countries Of the
world don't plan to engage in
appeaSement - for we have
learned from bitter experience
that appeaSement Is the road
to total war. The Communists
have been stopped cold in
Korea. And the Communists
haven't crossed another frontier
since anywhere in the world"
The President drew applause
when he made that simple
statement of faith in the North
west plains States, where Re-
publicans have been seeking to
make Korea O dominant issue
among an insulated people who
still are unhappy about any
foreign adventures.
The President sees Gen. Ell
senhower as having been taken
over completely and having be-
come the dupe and front Of
those who were and are, in his
opinion, the enemies both of
what the general previously
had stood for and what he, him
self, has stood for, and now
stands for.
Harry Truman is q man of
direct mind and simple loyalties.
It is as if a member of the
family had turned upon him.
He can't condone or forgive.
He feels too deeply about Korea.
He is giving no quarter-and
he will give none from now until
the election. The general must
be defeated at all costs. That
has become a personal crusade
with him.

for the maximum ($500) was so
that it can never be charged
that any one is contributing so
much as to think he is entitled

From beginning to end, the
fund was handled on a business
like basis with a plain warning
that no obligation was being
incurred by the Senator. Every
penny was accounted for and
used for expenses connected
with public service and not for
personal enrichment Of the
California Senator himself.
Governor Stevenson used
funds left over from the CAM

making certain speeches. He
also supplemented salaries of
State officials so that his own
administration would be success

Nixon Fund Details Cleared Up
Answers Given to Various Questions Since Historic Teecost
Every Penny Accounted For and Used for Public Service

8. Why didn't the Senator
give out his income-tax re-
turns? The answer is that the
Treasury Department has them
on file now and, If there were
the slightest discrepancy be-
tween the statement in his
speech as to the only sources of
income and anything reported
In his income tax, that fact
could surely become known to
the administration. To put it,
another way. nobody thinks any
one like Senator Nixon would
ever venture to make q public
statement Of his sources of in
come and fail to include any
that had been reported on his
income-tax return. So the Sem
ator is said to have felt any
disclosure Of the text of his in
come-tax return would be su-
perfiuous.
{. Why did Senator Nixon
say in his speech: Every penny
of it (the fund.- was used to pay
for political expenses that I did
not think should be charged to
the taxpayers Of the United
States? The answer Is this:
The main items for which the
certified public accounting firm
revealed the $4,000 fund had
been spent could have been paid
for by money received in various
ways. such as putting ones wife
on the Senate Office payroll for
$4,000, using the frank" or

Of about $4,000 in Christmas
greetings to 10000 constituents,
and $1,000 for postage. which
brings the items to q total of
$13,400. The remainder, which
consisted Of $2,367 for radio
recordings. $1,000 for stationery,
and 1920 for extra Office staff,
makes a total of more than
$4,000, and these items could
have been paid for out of the
funds of the chairman of q
committee or subcommittee Of
the Senate If Mr.. Nixon had
chosen to work himself into
such a post. For the committee
and subcommittee chairmen in
Congress have considerable
funds to use for radio record
ings and speeches and for travel

ABOARD PRESIDENT TRU-
MANS SPECIAL. TRAIN, Oct.
1.-What may become a really
epocha1 feud seems in the max
ing between President Truman
and the man who aspireS to sue
ceed him and whom the Presi-
dent once offered to help to that
eminence. Gen. Eisenhower.
It could become Of far more
significance than others which
have developed during Harry
Truman's tenure of the White
HouSe-that within his own
party with his one-time associ-
ate, James r. Byrnes, now Gov
ernor of South Carolina, which
indeed runs deep, and that with
Senator Robert A. Taft of the
Republican Party, which is more
on principle than on personali-
ties.
These are in the strictly pol
itical sphere. grounded in politi-
cal differences.
But this with Gen. Eisen-
hover which President Truman
Is building up, and very con-
sciously. on his present cross
country tour goes far deeper,
affecting basic loyalties in q
crisis, a. the President looks
upon 1t. It could outlast the
election, depending on the out
come or even despite the out
come, and reach In its effects
far into the future.
Whoever happened to become
the leader Of Mr.. Truman's ma
turally-avowed enemies, the Re-
publicans. would Of course have
become his accepted foe and
target In this campaign, once
the President moved into the
midst of it In his characteristic
hard-hitting manner. That is
party politics-and Harry Tru-
man is an implacable party poll
tician.
But this Is different, and some
analysis Of what becomes i'm
portant because of its possible
portent.
Ranking with President Tru-
man is the spectacle he is
confronting as the presidential
campaign has developed. This
IS that Gen. Eisenhower, once a
comrade-in-arms so to speak,
should now turn on the phase
Of the Truman administration
in which they once had q COM
mon interest and a common
partnership, the building of Sc
curity against Russia, and
should attack and ridicule as
"bungling" the course of admin
tStration policy that led to Korea.
Korea to President Truman
comes as close to being sacred
crusade as anything could be.
1t is the Thermopylae Of the
free nations against Russia's
aggression and one can imagine
also, to borrow another simile
from ancient history. that the
President regards himself in the
Korean episode as another

wait. His criticisms Of the
general became more and more
heated, more SARCASTIC, more
exaggerated, as he moved from
"wmStle-stop" to "whistle-Stop.
His audiences, too, were far
more alert and interested when
he went after Gen. Eisenhower
than when he praised Gov.
Adlai Stevenson and urged his
election.
He seemed to be making an
impression with his diagnosis

David Lawrence:
This campaign has already sci

This campaign has already set
q record in one respect-it's the
first time q vice-presidential
nominee has become widely
known. Judging by the mail
and kilograms received by the
Republican National Committee,
more persons know Senator
Richard M. Nixon than ever
before knew q vice-presidential
nominee.
AS for the big crowds which
are assembling to hear Senator
Nixon everywhere, he probably
holds the record for attendance
at meetings addressed by any
vice-presidential nominee in
recent years.
Senator Nixon has been here
q few days and naturally the re-
porters have been asking him
for further details which here
and there some critics are say
ing were omitted from his Ma
tion-wide televiSion and radio
speech or were not fully under
stood. The Senator has decided
not to discuss the matter for
quotation any further. because
he feels it has resolved itself
now into q smokescreen designed
to divert attention from the
main issues Of the campaign.
This correspondent has OBJ
tanned the following information
bearing on various questions
asked since the historic telecast:
/. How did the Senator accu-
mulate the $40, 900 for the down
payment on his house? The
answer is this: BY a careful
reading Of the speech it will be
found that the Senator and his
wife had $4,000 saved before he
was elected to Congress. His
speech revealed that he and his
wife inherited $4,000. He also
stated that he averaged $500
q year from speaking or about
$500 in five years. This totals
more than the $4,000 needed
for the down payment. Incl
dentally, q number Of Senators

ing, 1--WE were broke and didn't

There is one big difference,
though. In ls48. the Truman
