Sfeyenson's Attitude
On Taft Act Awaited
In Labor Day Speech
BY }. A. o'Leory
.. .. aR

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Aug. So
Gov. Adlai Stevenson was at work
today on the Labor Day speech he
will deliver in Detroit Monday,
which probably will throw light
on how he would revise the Taft
Hartley Act.
The Democratic presidential
nominee and those around him
returned from New York late yes
terday. well pleased by the re-
action to his first visit to the East.
One Of his close advisers, who
accompanied the Governor to New
York. said his chief concern was
to avoid becoming overconfident
as q result Of the favorable i'm
preston Mr.. Stevenson made be-
fore the American Legion conven-
ton and in his addresses to the
New York State Democratic con-
vention and to the State Commit
tee Of the Liberal Party.
Reaction Surprises Him.
Alighting from his plane here
yesterday afternoon. the governor
said he was very much surprised"
that his Legion speech attracted so
much attention. He recalled that
he said the same things in previ-
GUS years to the Illinois Depart
ment Of the Legion.
This observation pointed up the
fact that voters throughout the
country are learning for the first
time Of the unorthodox style of
campaigning for which Gov. Ste
venson already is well known in
Illinois.
He told the Legionnaires what
most politicians would hesitate to
tell them, namely, that he would
resist all pressure groups. unless
he felt the measures advocated
were in the general public in
terest. He also reminded them
that this is gradually becoming a
nation of veterans, and asked them
to remember who must pay the
bills under those circumstances.
Gov. Stevenson said he also was
pleased with the reaction to his
statements on civil rights while
in New York.
Not Seeking Fight.
A reporter asked the Governor
at the airport here yesterday if
he had made an effort in his
recent speeches to bring Gen.
Eisenhower into an open fight.
He replied that he had no such
intention, that he had merely
said what I had to say" at the
speeches in New York.
Gov. Stevenson's Labor Day
speech in Detroit will be one of
the most important of the cam
paign, because the LABOR vote
has been the backbone of Demo-
cratic campaigns in recent years.
The one-day plane trip to Mich
igan will include visits to Grand
Rapids and Pontiac, as we'll as
Detroit.

Eisenhower Running
On War Platform,
|MaIik Declares
BY the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y, Aug.
30.-Chief Soviet Delegate jacob
Malik accused Gen. Dwight d.
Eisenhower last night Of cam
Ipaigning for the United States
presidency on the threat Of an
arms race and World War III.
The Russians attack came dur
ling a speech rejecting Western
proposals for Big Five arms redllc-
ton talks.
Mr.. Malik claimed the Repub-
Ilican candidate. in speaking to
the American Legion convention
last Monday told them with
cynical candor that the basis of
his foreign policy. If elected, would
be mad armament race and like
wise then unleashing Of a third
world war" He said the general
was. trying to make his mark as
a warmonger.
Mr.. Malik, however, was putting
words in the generals mouth.
Gen. Eisenhower actually told the
Legion America needs security
forces whose destructive and
retaliatory power is so great that
it causes Nightmares in the Krem-
lin whenever they think Of attack
ling U.s."
Attacks Western Powers.
Mr.. Malik peppered his long re-
lection speech before the 12-na-
ton Disarmament Commission
with attacks on the Western pow
ers. particularly the United States.
He accused the United States of
seeking world domination by put
ting forth proposals that would
delay arms reduction "and squeeze
profits out of the world by its
monopolies."
He said United States, British
and French proposals for gradual
reduction Of armed forces and
ILLUMINATION Of atom. bacterial and
other mass destruction weapons
were intended only to delay dis
armament and avoid prohibition
OF the mass death weapons.
Russia insists. he added. that
disarmament questions can be
dealt with only on the basis of
Soviet proposals-at least one
third reduction Of all big power
armed forces, immediate prohibi-
ton of atomic weapons and adop-
ton of Continuing international
control" Of atomic energy.
The Western Big Three had sug-
gested troop ceilings for them
selves. Russia and China. They
offered to hold Big Five meet
ing to work out details of the
plan. ...a.
Inaccuracies Charged.
Mr.. Malik said the proposed
|ceilings-11a million men each for
Russia, the United States and
China and 100000 each for Brit
ain and France-were intended
to insure present troop levels.
Under these, he said, the West
has greater military forces than
does the Soviet Union.
British Delegate John Coulson
retorted that Mr.. Malik had
broken all records for inaccur-
acies. French Delegate Henri
Hoppenot said the Soviet delegate
had distorted. with defamation,
the statements of the Western
Ipowers. a.. .,
The Russian q. NJ attack on
Gen. Eisenhower followed a blast
by Moscow's Communist Party
newspaper, Pravda, against the
Republican candidate. Also COM
menting on the Legion speech,
Pravda said Gen. Eisenhower had
boastfully threatened Russia-but
the Russians could only laugh.
Other Russian newspapers re-
Eprinted the Pravda attack today.
The Soviets have not implied
that they favor the Democratic
Presidential candidate, Gov. Adlai
Stevenson. They have accused
both him and Gen. Eisenhower Of
being captives Of American big
business.

Stevenson S Stand
On Civil Rights Issue
By the Assoeioied Press

CHICAGO. Aug. 3o.-Senator
Sparkman, Gov. Stevenson
southern running mate. says he
is completely in acord" with the
Democratic presidential candi-
dates views on civil rights.
The Senator said yesterday he's
certain a workable civil rights
program can be drafted by "mer
of good will" but declined to dis.
cuss specific proposals.
The Alabaman stopped in Chi.
cago en- route to address the ma.
tional convention Of the Ameri.
can Veterans of World War I.

Made Fine Statement.
Senator Sparkman told a new
conference the Illinois Governor
made a very fine statement" or
civil rights Thursday night in &
New York speech. "He didn't in.
dorse any particular piece of legis.
lation. but he did speak well of Z
bill proposed by the Senate Labor
Committee"
Gov. Stevenson said he had beer
Impressed" by a bill reported
recently on behalf of the labor
committee by Senator Humphrey
Democrat, Of Minnesota. The
measure would set up anti-dis-
elimination standards on employ.
ment in individual States. with
provision for the Federal Govern
ment to step in If a State does
not act.
Except for this reference to
the labor committee bill. Senator
Sparkman declined to discuss
specific FEPC. anti-poll tax and
anti-lynch proposals.
Can Be Worked Out.
He said he holds a consistent
viewpoint that. If people of good
will who wanted to work out a
program to protect the rights and
liberties of all of our people sat
down with the intention Of doing
so. such q program could be
worked out.
The candidate said he believes
the Democratic Party's civil rights
plank represents as near q COM
altogether Of the minds as could
be worked out; and it is some
thing all segments of the Demo-
cratic Party can stand on"
"A primary cause of tensions"
in the field of race relations is
economic, he said. adding: II
have strongly supported measures
which would improve the eco
nomic status of minorities."
Sees No Southern Detection.
Senator Sparkman said he be-
lieves there will no no detection
of States" from the Democratic
Party in the South this fall. II
think they have liked the forth
rightness Of Gov. Stevenson's s
speeches so far and I think they
will like him better as the cam
paign goes along"
Asked If he thought the Gov
ernor's statement supporting Fed
eral ownership of tidelands oil
reserves would put Texas in the
Republican column, Senator
Sparkman said, II rather think
the issue will settle down."
Gov. Stevenson said last Satur-
day he would abide by a Supreme
Court decision that the Federal
Government has primary claim to
offshore oil reserves. He added
that he favored legislation to
bring about a fair solution of the
Federal-State "stalemate" on the
issue.

with Democratic Bid
For Southern Unity
By the Associated Press.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. Aug. 49,
Senator Sparkman came back
home today to urge fellow South
|erners to unite once again behind
the Democratic Party.
1t was his first visit since be-
coming the vice presidential NOM
inee and he found his own State
along with others in the Deep
South beset by a growing rebellion
in party ranks.
Many lifelong Democrats were
dissatisfied, too, with Senator
ISparkman's acceptance of the
civil rights doctrine in the 1852
platform.
NeighbOrs Welcome Him.
The candidates return to Ala
bama touched off a gay welcom-
ing celebration. Neighbors from
throughout the Tennessee Valley
and from other parts of the State
as well crowded into Huntsville
for the start of the four day af-
fair.
Politically. it was more than just
"a Homecoming. Senator Spark
man arrived here direct from a
conference with Gov. Stevenson.
and 1t would be strange indeed If
they didn't discuss the Dixie jour-
lney and its part in the election
campaign.
Thus, there was speculation
that a Sparkman radio broadcast
scheduled for S pm. (EDT) over
a Statewide network might be
of major significance.
Governor Greets Him.
In Alabama, the Senator's re-
turn home was the signal for the
start Of a determined vote-getting

ADA Holds Stevenson
With Ball and Chain,
Republicans Charge

Endorsement of the Stevenson
Eparkman ticket by the Americans
for Democratic Action drew Re-
publican criticism today that such
support makes the Democratic
presidential nominee a "ball-and-
chain" captive.
ADA, an organization largely of
Democrats identified with the New
Deal of President Roosevelt. ex-
pressed disappointment in Gen.
Eisenhower, the G. o. P. nominee.
In 1948 it opposed denomination Of
President Truman and urged Sc
lection of Gen. Eisenhower or Su-
preme Court Justice William o
Douglas. It later backed the Tru-
man-Barkley slate.
An Executive Committee state
ment last night praised the CHAR
acter. integrity and ability" Of
Gov. Stevenson and Senat tor
Sparkman. It described their
public records as being marked
by a humane outlook and strong
independence Of thought"
Southern Movement Seen.
While aware of Senator Spark
mans adverse civil rights voting
record" the statement termed
him a standard bearer of an
emerging liberal movement in
the South"
1T is his clear duty, as a can
didate for national Office adher-
ing to the national platform of the
Democratic Party, to bring to the
South a broader understanding of
the vital relationship between the
civil rights program and the best
interests Of our Nation" the
statement added.
The Republican National Com
mittee promptly issued a state
ment by Senator Hickenlooper of
Iowa terming ADA a socialist
organization" He predicted that
the organizations opposition
would not hurt Gen. Eisenhower
and Senator Nixon, the G. O.. P.
vice presidential nominee.
s,.e THE ADA's action now COM
pletes the captive picture in which
the Democratic presidential NOM
inee finds himself" Senator Hick-
7enlooper stated. "On his back he
has the label of Truman and on
each ankle a ball and chain; on
the right foot the CIO and on the
left the ADA"
Cites Civil Rights Stand.
The Iowa Senator declared that
the ADA showed itself lacking in
principle" when it endorsed Sena-
tor Sparkman and his well
known" record on civil rights. The
ADA's main complaint against
Senator Nixon was that ''he had
fought Communism" Senator
Hickenlooper said.
The ADA endorsement covered
the Democratic platform as we'll
as the candidates. It commended
the platform as setting forth "a
liberal and forward looking pro-
gram around which independent
voters in this country can en-
Enthusiastically rally"
The Republican platform In the
ADA's opinion, contains evasions
and contradictions and "in no way
conforms to the requirements OF
the world situation today" The
ADA statement had this to say
about the COP nominees:
Gen. Eisenhower has apparent
~ turned his back on mis- own
magnificent service of the war and
postwar years and has. in effect
repudiated the very foreign policy
in whose cause he won high hen
or and regard both at home and
abroad.
"Since his emergence as a Re-

statements on domestic policy
which reveal a naive lack Of un-
derstanding of the problems which
confront us on the home front and
their essential relationship to

Arkansas Democrats
Warned They Can Be
Suspended for Boiling
By the Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 10
Democrats in Arkansas are being
warned to stay in the fold or face
"a 2-year suspension from the,
party.
Beloit Taylor of Little Rock;
secretary of the Pulaski County
Democratic Committee, warned
Arkansans yesterday that they
could be suspended from the DEM
ocratic Party for two years If they
support Republican candidates in
the November general election.
Republican Primary Omitted.
Suspension includes withdrawal
of the right to vote in any Demo-
cratic primary election in the
State. No statewide Republican,
primary is held in Arkansas, pre-
viously considered a part of the
Solid South.
1.-THE party rule has not been
closely followed in the past" Mr..
Taylor said, because of the Re-
publican Party's relative weakness
in the State"
"The fact that a voter presents
himself at a Democratic) primary
and asks for a ballot is a tacit
agreement that he will support the
lparty's candidate in the general
election" Mr.. Taylor added.
His announcement came on the
heels of a statement by Republi-
can officials that they plan to
offer "full slate of candidates"
in November. jeff Speck. who
polled more votes in 1850 than
any G. O. P. candidate since the
Reconstruction era, will again
head the ticket as the guberna-
torial nominee.
Affidavits May Be Required.
Democratic Party rules in Ar
kansas will allow the election
judges to require an affidavit of
any party primary voter "as to
his qualifications" Any persons
who supported or "espoused the
cause Of" any candidate other
than a Democrat in the "last
proceeding general election" is not
a qualified primary voter, accord
ing to the rules.
Mr.. Taylor said that although
the challenging" responsibility
lies primarily with election judges,
|"there are others, including spe-
|cial representatives of the candi-
dates, who have a right to chal-
|lenge."
