Acheson Charges
Ike Misquoted

WASHINGTON R-Secretary
of State Acheson accused Gen
Dwight Eisenhower today of mis-
quoting him on his attitude to-
ward the defense of Korea prior
to the outbreak of the Korean
war.
Acheson told a news conference
that, as Army chief of staff, Els
enhower had been wholly in ac-
cordance" with views on Pacific
defense which Acheson set forth
in January, 1850, and which Eisen-
hover, now running for president
on the Republican ticket, assailed
in a speech at Cincinnati last Mon
day.
Eisenhower's Cincinnati talk
was an attack on what he called
Acheson's mistakes and on lin
comepetent" leaders and foreign
policy. IF
Much of this criticism was based
on a speech which Acheson} made
to the National Press Club here in
January, 1850, when the secretary
outlined a defense perimeter in
the Western Pacific which includ-
ad cY,ob p1aoaI &c IonaY, a,ad tho
Philippines but did not INCLUDE
South Korean. sr
To his news conference today,

'"The board determines that the
probably cause of this accident
was:
"a. The company's inadequate
maintenance in not changing the
No. 3 engine which resulted in its
failure Immediately subsequent to

"B. The persistent action of the
captain in attempting to reestab-
