Evening star., 1952-10-09

Earlier yesterday. at Berkeley
!; Gen. Eisenhower repeated his sug-
gestion that greater efforts be
made to train South Koreans
This proposal. which he first
made at Bloomington. ILL.,. last
week, is the only specific step he
has suggested for achieving the
goal he spoke of in San Francisco.
At Bloomington the general point
ed out there are 20 million South
Koreans. and that more of them
should be trained to man their
front lines. When that is accom-
plished. he added. the United Ma
tions forces, largely American,
should then be mainly in reserve.
The general conceded at Bloom
tington. however, that his proposal
would take "a little time" and
some of his close friends say they
have never heard him suggest
withdrawing from Korea under
present conditions. They say also
that he regards the training of
more South Koreans as only a
partial solution.
He told the huge crowd at the
Cow Palace that Americas bill
for the Korean war already adds
up to 10000 Americans killed,
wounded and missing" Then he
added: .
Here is what I pledge you:
Without weakening the security
of the free world, I pledge full
dedication to the job of finding
an intelligent and honorable way
to end the tragic ton of American
casualties in Korea. s..
mo one can pledge you more.
Nor can there be a more solemn
pledge. For this war is reaching
tonight into the homes of hun
dreds of thousands Of American
families"
Gen. Eisenhower said he does
not believe that Korea must for
ever be a part of our American
daily life" To the crowd in the
Cow Palace he again touched on
the training of South Koreans by
quoting the South Korean Am
bassador as having said recently,
"Give us guns; spare your sons"
Here one way is pointed" the
general added. II shall never say,
as the present administration
says. because the problem is
tough. the problem can't be
solved"
Cancels Nevada Trip.
Gen. Eisenhower Cancelled q
trip to Nevada today to spend an
entire second day in California.
thereby giving further evidence
of the Importance he and Gov.
Stevenson both attach to this
State.
The race in California is close,
in the opinion of local political
observers. On paper the Demo-
Gratis have a decided advantage
in registration, but the history of
the State shows that Californians
have less regard for party lines
than many States.
At the time of the 1852 pri-
maries there were 1895, 1853 regis
tered Democrats and 2,192,446
registered Republicans. G. o. P.
sources believe they have since
raised their registration total to
2.5 million.
It is apparent that the Eisen-
hover Nixon ticket must get some
Democratic support to carry the
State. For that reason. Eisen-
hover supporters are encouraged
by the big crowds the general is
drawing.
Draws Big Crowds.
Gen. Eisenhower continued to
draw big crowds yesterday at half
a dozen whistle-stops as his train
moved from Sacramento to San
Francisco.
Late in the afternoon he spoke
to $4,000 in front of City Hall in
Oakland. Then he drove in a
motorcade across the bridge to
San Francisco, where the biggest
greeting of the trip awaited him.
It far exceeded the turnout for
Gov Stevenson, when he was in
San Francisco a month ago. Gov.
Stevenson visited the city on a
holiday, commemorating the ad-
mission of California to the union,
which may have reduced the
downtown crowds.
The Republican nominee again
denounced the administration for
having proclaimed early in 1850
a Pacific defense perimeter which
did not touch Korea. Answer
