NIXON PUTS HIS FOOT IN 1T AGAIN;
HIS ATTEMPTED SMEAR BOOMERANGS

Have you ever, or woman been deceived? If
you haven't then you surely than an exception
you rarity
But of course, you have been deceived Now, what
would think of anybody who tried you be-
cause had been deceived by of your felowmen?
That is what Nixon tried to do Monday night in New
York. in his TV broadcast about Stevensons deposition
in the Hiss case and turned to be the biggest BOOM
erang in this campaign.
Nixon in his attempted smear failed say that John
Foster Dulles, Esenhowers foreign-policy advisor also
had made deposition in the Hiss He failed also
point that u s. Supreme Court justices had gone
further than Stevenson and Dulles the justices
testified in Hiss behalf.
q Nixon further said that Stevensons deposition had
been voluntary, but Tuesday morning Hiss New York
lawyers said Nixon had spoken falsely adding that Stew
had been requested to make deposition and like
good American citizen" had made it. But, they said
further, had he not made it. he would have been sub
poenaed The thing would have been done Dulles
case, had he not acceded to the request.
Also on Tuesday morning, Nixon's attempted smear
slapped back into his face by group of nationally
prominent lawyers, Republicans and Democrats, who
said they Deplored any effort to criticize reproach
Governor Adla Stevenson for estfyng by deposition in
the Hiss case"
Hiss cunning sneak hiding his traitorous scheming
behind everready SMILE not only deceived the Justices
Stevenson Dulles but also President Roosevelt President
Truman and every other high official in Washington,
well the public generally including the sancmonious
Nixon.
If Nixon wishes to tear away the pail that hangs
him. why doesn't he do what Stevenson Sparkman
and Eisenhower have done - give emized accounting
of his income during the last 10 years? But he has
borny refused to make public his incomeax statements

He has not done any such thing He has told them
where he got the $4,000 down payments his Wash

said Nixon saved it out of his salary That assertion is
equivalent to saying that what Mrs Nixon said in Sat
urday Evening Post article untrue She said that during
campaigns she and Nixon sometimes did not have post
money; that they borrowed old station wagon

Drive On To Get
More Teachers

In launching the most intensive
teacher recruitment campaign yet
attempted the State Department
of Education is directing an ap-
peal to the high school students
of Ohio to consider teaching as
their career.
The poster reproduced above
has been distributed by DR.. Clyde
Hissong, state director of educa-
ton, with the request that it be
displayed in every high school of
the state as well as in every col
lege preparing teachers.
A four-page pamphlet emphas-
izing the great need for teachers,
the satisfaction which come to
those who make careers of teach
ing, and the average salaries re-
ceived by teachers has also been
distributed to each school for use
in counseling with young people
who want to know more about op-
portunitieG in teaching.
With enrollments skyrocketing,
and many of our best qualified
teachers being lured into defense
industries and other types of en-
ployment, we have been able to
open our schools this year only
by resorting to the emergency
certification of many persons who
have inadequate preparation for
teaching" said DR.. Hissong.
