With time running short, all top
candidates today shot the works
with a killing pace of personal
appearances and radio television
addresses arguing issues ranging
from peace to prosperity, Korea
to communism.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Republican presidential candidate,
and Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio,
a major supporter, we're keeping
the Korean War in the forefront.
Gov. Adlai Stevenson, Eisenhow-
er'S Democratic opponent, and
President Truman, Stevenson's S
leading hacker, were talking of
prosperity for the little man, and
predicting a Democratic victory
six days hence.
Sen. Richard Nixon, the COP
vice presidential nominee, cam
paigned in his home state of Cali
fornia denouncing the Truman ad-
ministration's foreign policy, as
Sen. John j. Sparkman, his Demo
cratic opposite number chided the
Republicans on the racial issue.
From dawn to dusk the candi-
dates were on the move--Eisen-
hover in the vote-rich New York
area, Stevenson in Pennsylvania,
Truman in Iowa and Illinois, Nixon
in California, Sparkman in Mon
tana and Taft in Arizona.
And from dusk to almost mid.
night one or the other will be on
the air--Nixon at $50 p. m. EST.
Sparkman $50, Eisenhower 10,
Stevenson 1915 and Truman at
10:30.
Eisenhower charged in 9 RADIO
TV broadcast from New York last
night that a. "top secret document"
on Korea is being used against
him by his political enemies. And
he added:
'How was this top secret docu-
ment released? Wouldn't you like
to know? Many Americans would"
The genel al did not identify the
document except to say it was a
top secret document of the Amer
ican Defense Department"
Monday Republican Sen. Wayne
Morse Of Oregon, who has bolted
his party to support Stevenson, in
a Minneapolis address read a gov
ernment memorandum relating to
the Korean situation.
The memorandum said In part
that in 1947 the Joint Chiefs of
Staff-.of which Eisenhower was a
member at the time--considered
that from standpoint of military
security, 1.-THE U. S. has little stra-
tegic interest in maintaining the
present troops and bases in
Korea"
The general. in reply. said the
Joint Chiefs made purely military
estimates at the administrations
request, and that vast difference
exists between such military esti-
mates and political decisions made
some time later.
Further, he contends that on the
Korean issue the political leaders
"abdicated" or gave up their au-
thority If they used a 194T secret
military estimate" as the basis
for a later policy decision TO pull
American troops out of Korea.
Gov. Stevenson carried his fight
for the presidency into Pennsyl.
vania today after a tumultuous
rally last night at Madison Square
Garden in New York.
| He told standing room only au.
dience estimated at 1900 that the
Republicans "have everything on
their side--except the people. .
He repeated his charge that ri.
senhower has bowed 10 those who
champion a ''deaT, departed quiet
past that is all so dead"
| Stevenson said the American peo.
pie had high hopes for Eisenhower
but. he said. these hopes we're
snuffed out in the chain reaction
of compromises when the general
met Sen. Taft. Stevenson said this
