CLEVELAND, Sept. 24.-The
voters today had newly voiced
views Of both presidential candi-
dates on imitation. and how te
meet It's threat. The two solu-
tions had little in common.
At Baltimore last night Gov
stevenson blamed agents in the
Kremlin" for having dumped 9
barrel Of yeast In the bread OF
our economy"
During the whistle-stop crossing
|of Ohio and in major speech he
prepared for delivery here, Gen
Eisenhower declared "the imitation
we suffer is not an accident; 1t is
Ia policy" Of the administration.
Agree on Some Points.
Just as they disagreed on in
dation'S causes. so were the two
candidates far apart in their ideas
|of what to do about it. But there
were some areas Of agreement.
Both called for q clampdown
on Federal spending and acknowl-
edged q substantial part Of the
slash must come In military
spending.
Gov. Stevenson outlined a four
point program calling for wage,
price and rent controls until
prices stop going up" and for taxes
on as nearly a "pay-as-you-go''
level as possible.
Calls Coptrols Weak.
Gen. Eisenhower. In his trip
through Ohio to Cleveland. and in
the speech he strapped here to
deal with the controversy over
Senator Nixon's $i8, 900 expense
fund, said:
with one hand the admins
tration has been turning up the
water pressure at the hydrant,
while on the other hand it has
been trying to check the waters
flow. The administrations con-
trolls over prices are nothing but
weak stop-gaps."
The Republican standard
bearers answer to imitation was
to cut taxes and expenditures and
stop Government agencies, such
as the Treasury and Federal Re-
serve Board, from working at what
he described as cross-purposes on
credit controls.

thought it was.
Should Gov. Stevenson resist q

made to nominate Senator

quarters: a Douglas candidacy

Test Germans

Gen. Mark Clark, supreme
Allied commander in the Pa
cific. and Gen. James Van Fleet,
commander Of Allied forces in
Korea. have assured the Penta-
gon that our forces can with
stand an enemy offensive re-
gardless Of how vicious it may
be. The Allied air forces are
suff1cient-in spite of the heavy
losses during the last 81 months
to fruStrate an enemy attempt
to destroy Pusan harbor. This
may become one of their princi-
pal objectives now that they
have an efficient air power.
Pusan is the key to our defenses
in Korea because it is the main
port through which troops and
war materials reach the COM
bat forces at the front. The
situation is tense and the next
few weeks will show the enemy's
aims clearly.
In Europe the Muscovites
have intensified the cold war
of intimidation. The Kremlin
is bent on preventing Germany
from joining the Western coali-
ton effectively. Here again po-
litical blunders are playing into
the hands Of the Red con-
spirators. The 11th-hour OBJ
jections of the French to the
signing of the German peace
contract were smoothed over
quickly by Secretaries Dean
Acheson and Anthony Eden. But
the French fears and suspicious
have made a deep impression
among the people Of the West
ern German Republic.
In an effort to gain the sup
port of the German people to
join the Allies militarily, Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer used all
the propaganda means at his
disposal. He assured his coun-
trymen that as soon as the peace
contract was signed Germany
would be welcomed with open
arms by its former Western
enemies. The French demand
for guarantees from the United
States and Great Britain, on

Intensive Co|dWur Is DeveIopinq
Red Bear on the Move With nftrotion in South Korea
And intimidation Efforts Among West Gernons
Constantine Brown:

After months Of Semihiber-
nation, the Red bear has started
moving again. The peace dove
which the Kremlin has been
parading for several months has
been quietly placed in cold stor-
age and an intensive cold war
to be followed probably by
some shooting-is now in course
Of development.
In Korea a carefully organ
lied guerrilla underground has
become active in the last few
days. Some military observers
consider the numerous raids and
attacks behind the Allied lines
as an indication of a resumption
of large-scale hostilities. We
handed our enemies a superb
piece Of propaganda against us
when Brig. Gen. (now coloneD
Charles Colson made those un-
believable admissions of i'll
treatment of prisoners of war in
order to save his captured fellow
officer. Brig. Gen. (also now
coloneD Francis Dodd.
In the Information period in
Korea. while Allied and Com
munist negotiators were palaver-
ing uselessly at Panmunjom,
the Reds infiltrated the Allied
lines as far south as the main
supply base at PuSan. There are
indications that the infiltra-
tions went beyond the mainland
to the prisoner-of-war camp
on Koje Island where skilled
guerrillaS penetrated under the
very noses of the sleepy Ameri-
can camp commanders and
guards.
The probing attacks in COM
pany strength on various parts
of the front and the activities
Of the guerrillas are interpreted
to mean that full-scale military
operations may be resumed in
the near future unless we are
willing to give up the Chinese
and North Korean prisoners
who have begged us not to re-
turn them to their former
masters.

hangs in the balance. Rightly
or wrongly, the impression has
developed in France that Eisen-
hover reflects continued Ameri-
can understanding Of Europe's
problems and that Senator Taft
does not. This correspondent,
when asked, has been telling
French leaders and editors that
the Ohio Senator is not an iso-
lationist and that, If elected
President, he would in all prob
ability adhere to the principle
of international CO operation,
especially as existing treaties
with Europe call for certain
commitments that will not be
dishonored.
But the European shakes his
head in unconvinced fear and
plainly shows his worry, and
there are some elements which
think already in terms of ap-
peasing Russia If America is to
turn away from helping Europe.
This is an unrealistic and un-
justified fear, but it illustrates
the point.
Gen. Eisenhower has steered
a non-political course here. He
has observed all the proprieties
in his dealings with the Euro
pean governments and leaders.
He has been embarrassed. of
course, by the attention which
the newspapers here end abroad
have given to the political cam
paign in the United States as. i0
affects him, and it is amusing at
times to note the European be-
wilderment over the box score
of delegates from the various
States as the race draws near to
a climax. No such system Of
picking presidential candidate
exists anywhere in Europe.

but Of long-term interest to the
Nation and its people. He also
pointed out that it is the Gus
tom in solicitation Of funds for
foundations to note that they
are deductible for income tax
purposes. A realist, he recog-
nized that this instance was
singled out because Of the po-
litical climate of these times.
At a recent press conference
President Truman observed that
after he leaves the White House
he would like to travel abroad
to see many places that he has
) not seen. Between that and
the research center in his home
State he could find himself oc-
cupied. though it Is ventured
that he is likely to keep an eye
also on the Nations politics

a way Of life for him for so
many years-with his voyages
into the past a diversion and

guide in some actions Of his In

David Lowrence:

PARIS, May 28.-No man in
American history has had the
role which Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hover has filled in the last
ten years; and now, as he flies
back home this week end, he
turns to a different role
something many men have ex-
perienced in the field Of politics.
From the time Gen. Eisen-
hover began to command the
interallied forces in North
Africa-followed. as it was, by
the supreme command in the
victorious march across Europe
from the coast Of Normandy
his name has represented a
message Of hope to free peoples,
some Of them already under the
yoke of the conqueror.
Today, as the general looks
back on more than a year Of
supreme command over inter-
allied forces formed to prevent
a third world war, his imprint
in European minds is that of a
man who exudeS confidence and
still brings hope. For it was
Gen. Eisenhower who brought
the armies of Europe into be-
ing under what is known as the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation.
Now, as he goes back to
America, there is in Europe still
q feeling of hope when the name
Of Gen. Eisenhower is men
toned. For, if he should be-
come President Of the United
States, all Europe will feel that
America will not desert Europe
in these painful days Of recon-
struction. It Is not financial
aid which hangs in the balance
for that can gradually be di-
minished. It is the spirit Of
American cooperation - the
comradeship that liberated Eu-
rope in two world wars-which

from time to time that he would
like to teach American history.
The research center would at
least become an outlet for his
interest in this field. There Is
plenty that he could contribute
himself from personal expert
ence to an understanding Of
the Truman Era and its rela-
ton to. contemporary world
events, as well as with the past.
A seminar under his direction
surely would be mighty enter
tanning If he lectured in the
spicy, honey way that he talks
on his whistle stop" adven-
lures. Such dissertations by
Doctor Truman" would be diff
ferent from the usual doctorial
dissertations.
Funds for the library build
ing are being raised privately
through a Truman library COM
mittee. of which Senator Clin-
ton Anderson. Democrat, of New
Mexico is chairman Of the
finance committee. The build
ing. as presently planned, would
cost between $1,000,000 and ST.
10000.
It is Senator Anderson's aim
to have all the money in hand
before the building is under
taken. and it is hoped to get it
raised in time for the project
!. to- get under way before Presi-
dent Truman leaves the White
House. So far only about $780,
600 has been contributed, but
commitments are In from q
number of individuals for. sub
Stantial amounts and Senator
Anderson does not anticipate
any great difficulty in reaching
: the goal.
The Embarrassing committee
came under some criticism sew
eral months ago because of a
letter Of solicitation which went
to a number of prominent per-
sons and which pointed out
that contributions were deduct-
ible for income tax purposes.
Senator Anderson's name was
on the letter. though he was
Ill at the time it was drafted
and sent out and had not seen
it.
There was an implication in
the criticism deriving from the
fact that the letter went to
persons prominent in business
which Senator Anderson felt
unjustihed, since this is not q
project identified with politics

the phrases Of his speeches. For
he has a positive, dynamic.
likable manner which makes
friends and develops a con-
tagious spirit-the essence Of
political campaign strength.
Dwight Eisenhower is a born
extrovert and the kind Of man
who on the stump is likely to
arouse the same kind Of ma
tional affection that was such an
asset for Theodore Roosevelt,
popularly called Teddy" as he
drew unprecedented crowds a
half century ago.

lens merely to satisfy the Curl
osity of a press conference.
While in Paris, this corre-
spondent has also sought out
some men who have known Gen.
Eisenhower for many years.
Their Judgment of him is that
he is a good listener. likes to
find people who are honest adj
visers, and then makes up his
own mind on the basis Of COM
mon sense and fundamental
honesty. He is generous in
spirit" as one intimate friend
put it, but "he is no weakling
and no softie." Others say also
that his main desire is to be
fair, and that if the word IDEAL"

it will be in the phrase square

Thomas [. Stokes:

President Truman is finding
considerable enjoyment during
the necessarily limited periods
of relaxation these days in plan
ming and day-dreaming-abou
what he will do after he leaves
the White House next January.
His chief hobby, as he looks
forward to retirement, is the
Truman Library which he Wis
ualizes as q research center for
what will become the Truman
Era" in our history. The
President is donating 40 acres
of his farm at Grandview, Mo.
AS he turns the enterprise
over in his mind and discusses
it, 1t gradually is expanding in
scope and purpose almost to the
point where, If his visions mate
rialize, this could become a
career in itself for this Presi-
dent who is so eager q student
Of American history. That is.
indeed, q real hobby.
Tentative architect plans
which the President has been
inspecting this week call for
an Office for. his use in the
library building which, itself,
is to house records. papers. docu-
ments, letters and other me-
morabilia of his tenure Of the
White House. This Is an
accumulation so bulky that sew,
eral railroad freight cars will
be required to remove 1t to Mis-
souri,.
AS the President talks about
the project to visitors he rumi-
mates about an idea he has OF
establishing living quarters in
the research center which stu
dents could occupy cheaply
while working In the library.
He sees this as q sort Of grad
uate school for the many COLI
legeS in the surrounding area.
Though this has not reached
the planning stage, the enthu.
siasm with which he speaks Of
it indicates q rather definite
aim.
He also is considering the
building of ia home for himself
and his family on the farm near
the research center. which sug-
gests that he contemplateS q
rather close identity of a perma-
nent character with this prof.
ect devoted to the history Of
his regime and plans to give q
good deal Of time to its progress
and development.
