has repeatedly used the weapon of guilt
nv association to smear people.
Rose C. Kramer.
Senator Nixon made a very plausible
case. It will deceive only the credulous
among the independent voters, and that
was all it was intended to do The bal
ance of power lies within the independ-
ent voters. and, If the Republicans can
get enough Of them. they can win the
election. The intelligent voter will ask
himself:
IF. Senator Nixon did not see any,
thing wrong in receiving that $4,000
from illegitimate sources, then there
must be something wrong with his think
ing processes. Is he, then, mentally
qualified to be Vice President of the
United States and possibly President of
the United States?"
The opinions OF. that law firm and that
accounting firm, which Senator Nixon
quoted, are worthless unless submitted
to and confirmed by the judicial scrutiny
OF trial court, but, Of course, many
voters do not know this.
AS for Gen. Eisenhower, he is playing
with forces he does not understand, and
is as credulous as the most gullible voter.

Senator Nixon has stated the position
OF his finances. making an outstanding
talk in response to the Communist-in-
Spired attacks of his right to supple
ment funds in order to expose their
members in the Government of the
United States. Nixon is as much as
Eisenhower shining light in these times
OF corruption, waste. Korean war, etc.
I didn't fully appreciate the splendid
choice Of Gen. Eisenhower,s running
mate until his detailed defense speech,
which to me is one Of the finest speeches
Of any campaign.

Senator McCarthy's victory In Wis
consin and Senator Nixon's wonderful
appeal and victory, both without the
support OF Eisenhower, and In spite of
the knitting Of Eisenhower's advisers,
should make 1t clear that the voters are
demanding a change, real change in
the men directing Eisenhower's cam
paign. Edward L. Hillyer.
Aside from the ready pouring out Of
sympathy by those who listened to Rich
ard Nixon's apologize. there are sober
after thoughts to be considered and
other values to be weighed. One Of the
reasons why we like Ike is his all-wool-
and-yard-wide integrity. He gives us
the deep. sure feeling that he will deal
promptly and effectively with wrong
doers and with corruption in Govein-
ment. It is the character of the man
himself which tells us this.
AS for young Senator Nixon, who may
well be President one day, there are
some who do not think he showed him
self altogether the clean potato in this
ordeal.
Some felt q sudden jolt when the
young man sought to drag both candi-
dates on the opposing ticket into a
childish you're-another puddle. Here he
erred on two counts: first in an utter
failure to see the abysmal difference in
the respective situations, and second.
Tor the surprising cocksureness (well-
tried technique to him) In trying to pull
his opponents down to his own level.
