today, however, it would be a
typical Eisenhower move if he
asked the administration for per-
mission to make the journey
Immediately after the election, if
he is the victor, in order to start
planning his course of action
toward Korea without delay.
Another of his advisers thought
that the timing of his visit would
depend on when the general
thought it would do the most
good.
Attracts Good TurnOuts.
In his journey across Pennsyl-
Vania yesterday Gen. Eisenhower
drew good crowds at Harrisburg,
Altoona, JohnStown and Pitts
burgh. The biggest turnout was
in Harrisburg, where police esti-
mated $4,000 were gathered in
front of the State Capitol. Some
observers thought $4,000 was a
closer estimate.
In Altoona he addressed an
outdoor crowd of 5000 and at
JohnStown about the same num-
ber gathered in gymnasium to
hear him. In the Pittsburgh Ar
mory the general talked to about
1000.
When he arrived in Pittsburgh
at 7 pm. Gen. Eisenhower was
driven through the downtown Sec
ton and some of the outlying
communities. 1t was a shopping
night, and. with the stores open,
there were good crowds on the
downtown streets.
In Boston Saturday night Gov
Stevenson, commenting on Gen.
Eisenhower's plan to go to Korea,
said the course of the Korean war
would be determined in Moscow
Gen. Eisenhower replied to this
last night.
progress in Education"
Without mentioning Gov. Ste
venson by name, the general said
"It has been suggested that any
one wanting to settle the Korean
war should go to Moscow and not
to Korea. This is said with SOL
emn air of great political sophis- 7
tication, as if the speaker had just
discovered that Moscow was-after
all-the headquarters of the Com
munist Party.
This suggestion shows signs of
progress in the political education
of men who not long ago talked
happily about Chinese Commu-
niStS as harmless 'agrarian re-
formers But the enlightenment
of these men comes a little late
to be OF much use to our fighting
men facing hordeS of these agra
rian reformerS' on the Korean
mountainsides"
Cites Steel Production.
In his Pittsburgh speech Gen.
Eisenhower also made these points:
That the only times in the last
20 years that the steel mills of
Pittsburgh have operated at ca
pacity have been under the inn
petus of war or the threat of war.
One of the Republican nominees
main arguments has been that
the United States can have pros
perity not based on war.
That administration interfer-
ence prolonged the steel strike
early this year, and that some
steelWorkerS are still paying off
the debts they accumulated dur
ing the strike. The general urged
q policy of encouraging labor and
management to find a basis for
agreement. Without mentioning
the Taft-Hartley Act by name, he
said that any law which does not
contribute to that objective must
be changed.
That the administration has
fostered imitation and thereby Gre
ated a "treadmlll prosperity in
which wage gains have been can
celed out by higher prices and
taxes.
No Comment on Mccarthy.
AS the Eisenhower train left !,
Pittsburgh last night, the gen. -,
erals staff had no comment on
Senator McCarthy's broadcast ,
from Chicago attacking both Gov.
Stevenson and some of his cam
paign associates for their atti-
tude toward communism.
A staff member said Gen. Eisen-
hover had no advance knowledge
of the contents of the Mccarthy
speech and did not hear any of it b.
delivered. Gen. Eisenhower had
just finished his own speech at the
Hunt Armory and was driving
back to his train while Senator
Mccarthy was on the air.
