the one he delivered Monday night

Mr.. Ball told the delegates "the
blunt fact is that the fulf1llment
of the last month of the Steven-
son campaign depends on all the
help you can give in raising funds
for the national network TV and
radio shows" that are scheduled,
but not yet paid for.
Gov. Stevenson last night re-
ceived at the Executive Mansion
the more than 200 Volunteers
and had his picture taken with
each State delegation. The VOL
unteers will complete their meet
ings this morning.
Wilson Wyatt, Gov. Stevenson's s
campaign manager, predicted a
Democratic victory in an ad-
dress to the Volunteers at dinner
last night. He accused Gen. Eli
senhower Of changing his position
on important issues. and sought
to show that Gov. Stevenson has
been consistent in all of his cam
paign speeches.

However, the Democrats have

Radio-TV network shows and Hol-

Questions Answered.
Mr.. Ball told the delegates ear
lier in the day that the short TV
films the Republicans plan to use
would show Gen. Eisenhower an
swering questions for local citizens
in the 40 key counties.
Mr.. Ball said the general has
already filmed the answers, and
that the Republicans are now
looking for people speaking in the
accents of the various areas to
ask the questions.
If the Republicans should use
this method of putting on spot
political commercials of l minute
or less, they would be carrying out
a suggestion which was developed
during hearings before the Senate
Elections Committee last spring
The committee called in top
radio and TV executives to discuss
ways and means of enabling both
parties to make the most effective
use of television in this campaign.
It was pointed out during those
hearings that if political parties
could be permitted to buy the
short time periods usually allotted
to spot commercials they would
not have to displace popular en-
tertainment programs by purchas-
ing a longer period of time, ex-
cept when the candidates are tele-
vising major speeches.
Maryland Key State.
Maryland is one of the IL key
States Mr.. Ball said the Republi-
cans are planning to concentrate
on, and Prince Georges in Mary
land is looked upon as one of the
key counties.

Russia has about a million air

in case Of war. The United States
has 100000.
This was announced today by
the United States Air Force in
the "Air Reservist," official Air
Force magazine. The AF said the
article is the first known attempt
at rounding up Russia's air force
reserve strength and program.
The article left many holes in
the complete picture because, the
AF said, it was impossible to get
all the information needed. But,
1t does indicate what the United
States might be up against in case
of a war with Russia.
The million-man reserve or

The purpose, Mr.. Levin said,
was to swing IL key States and
win the election for Gen. Eisen-
hover. The States he named
were New York. New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana. Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa and California.
Mr.. Reeves later said the 50 mil
lion plan was only a suggestion
and that it was rejected. He said
he had hired Mr.. Levin, a writer
for the Erwin Wasey Advertising
Agency. and that Mr.. Levin had
drafted the plan. The 81 million
figure was far too high, Mr.. Reeves
said.
The Ted Bates Advertising
Agency, of which Mr.. Reeves is an
executive, was retained by the
Citizens for Eisenhower to handle
radio and television promotion.
Mr.. Levin was hired to "do a
research job and was paid for it"
Mr.. Reeves said, and that ended
his connection with the whole af-
fair" Mr.. Levin said he had drawn
the plan as labor OF love of my
interest in politics and for a
friend" whom he identified as
Mr.. Reeves.
Plan Many Weeks Old.
Mr.. Reeves also said:

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The
Citizens for Eisenhower organiza-
ton said today it plans an in
tensive radio-television campaign
to beam the Republican presi-
dental candidate into as many
American homes as possible. How
much it will cost is uncertain.
Bob Mullin, spokesman for the
organization. pointed out that the
extent of the plan depends on two
factors:
/. How much money is con-
tributed to defray its costs.
2. How many radio and TV
"spots" are available at desired
times in desired localities.
Mr.. Mullin declined to say
where the forces behind Gen.
Eisenhower would concentrate air.

tration would be in areas which
the Eisenhower camp considers
doubtful.
Copy of Plan Made Public.
Yesterday in Springfield. ILL.,,
George Ball, executive director of
the Volunteers for Stevenson,
made public a copy of what he
termed the Eisenhower TV radio
plan. He called it "multi-mil-
|lion-dollar production" designed
to sell an inadequate ticket to the
American people in precisely the
way they sell coap, ammoniatcd
tooth paste, hair tonic and bubble
gum"
The nature of the "Spots" was
announced a fortnight ago. One
sample shown was designed to
answer the Democratic argument
to wage earnerS that they never
had it so good" Only 20 seconds
long, it tells how prices and taxes
eat into pay checks and concludes
with statement by Gen. Eisen-
hover that those who never had
it so good" are "the grafters, the
fumblers and the bunglers" in
Washington.
An advertising man, Rosser
Reeves, says the group hopes to
spend several hundred thousand
dollars on the campaign.
His comment came last night
after another advertising man,
Michael Levin. said the Citizens
for Eisenhower planned a So mil
lion program.
Mr.. Levin said at a news con-
ference yesterday that the cam
paign would be the most concen-
trated one of it's kind in history.

Get Hollywood Films
To Lampoon 6. 0. P.
By J. A. O'Leoy
Stor StoH Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. q
The final weeks of the presidential
campaign apparently will find
both parties engaging in a spir-
tied propaganda battle with film
and tape recordings, designed to-
make voters think that election
of the other fellow would be a
calamity.
The volunteers for Stevenson,
gathered here from 81 States and
the District of Columbia, heard
their executive director, George
Ball of Washington, yesterday
afternoon describe plans he said
the Republicans are making to
Saturate radio and TV stations
with spot announcements and
: short films shots of Gen. Eisen-
hover with 49 key counties of IL
States.
Last night the more than 200
volunteer delegates saw a pre-
view of films just completed by a
Hollywood committee for Steven
son, designed to show that only
the Democrats would protect the
interests of the worker and the
farmer and bring peace to the
Nation.
: Points to Lack of Funds.
In the afternoon Mr. Ball COM
planned that the volunteers for
Stevenson are broke, that they
do not have the funds to compete
with Republican plans for a spot
radio and TV commercial "blitz"
planned for the last three weeks
of the campaign.
At the night meeting the dele
= gates were encouraged to have
Il their State or local volunteer
units buy copies of the Hollywood
Democratic films for use either on
radio and TV, or at local political
rallies.
In making the films, the Holly
wood for Stevenson and Sparkman
organization unit did not deal
gently with the Republicans. I'll
lampooned the reunion betweenI
Gen. Eisenhower and Senator Taft
with grotesque voices impersonat-
ing the two leading Republicans
in a discussion of campaign issues.
AS the voices talked. the picture
on the screen showed two hearts,

vension button, the other an Eisen-
hover pin. They got into a discus
sion OF foreign policy, and the
Stevenson man finally persuaded
both the elevator operator, who
started out neutral, and the Eisen-
hover man to put on Stevenson
buttons. He did it by picturing
: Republicans in Congress as being
.iagainst administration foreign
policy. This film included pic
lures of Senators Nixon, McCar-
thy. Jenner, Taft. KEN, Bricker

nan, arriving from Moscow. said
today he has learned "a great deal
more" about East-West problems

Mr.. Keenan, went to Moscow
May 5 to succeed Admiral Alan
Kirk as ambassador. carrying with
him a wealth of experience as the

Soviet matters. Despite that long
experience, he said. II have
learned considerably more about
the issues, both the good and bad
sides, in the past six weeks"
The Ambassador intends to con-
fer with Secretary Of State Ache
son in London. Primary purpose
of his trip, he said, however. is to
see his new daughter. born in a
Bonn hospital May II, and to take
his wife and family back to Mos
COW. He is due back July. /.
Asked If he saw chances for
four-power discussions on the Ger
man problem, Mr.. Kennan said he
was not in position to discuss such
a question in public. He implied,
however, that the atmosphere in
the Soviet Union Is unchanged, by
commenting:
