In his speeches yesterday Presi-

on Gen. Eisenhower with a warn

Eisenhower Called Front Man."
zen. Eisenhower, whose vigorous
criticism of the administration
seems finally to have gotten under
the presidential hide, was often
described pointedly as front
man" for lobbies and big interests,
and by implication as a "stooge"

III CIle WnlUe HOUSE.
Climaxing several references to
Gen. Eisenhower's political mex
perience. the President told a
Minot audience late in the day
that "the best thing for you to
do is to send him back to the
Army where he belongs"
A little later, in Berthold, Mr..
Truman bluntly raised the soldier
1n-the-White House issue, as he
stressed the power of a President
to make policies that can keep
the peace or provoke war.
Warning against a military
mind" which he said thinks in
terms of preparing for war, Mr..
Truman. asserted that "the Gen.
eral has been getting some strange
advice on foreign policy" and
"has said some things about
liberating foreign peoples that
could get us into SeriouS-very
serious trouble. if they were fol-
lowed through to their logical
conclusions.
The reference was to speech
in which Gen. Eisenhower said
1--WE will never rest" until the Iron
Curtain countries are freed. Later
it was explained that he did not
mean this to connote the use of
force.
Hits Farm Policy Views.
A large section of the North
Dakota population, particularly
the Ukranian migrant bloc, is
strongly anti-militaristic, and the
Democrats make no bones of their
hope to capitalize on that this
year.
The Minot blast came as the
President hit at Gen. Eisenhower S
views on farm policy. with the
declaration that "he doesn't know
the first thing about running the
government, and I don't think we
can afford to educate him at pub
lie expense"
The President used the Minot
speech for his first COM
ment on the Nixon case. Assert
ing that the people had heard a
lot about the finances" Of the
Republican vice presidential can
didate, who has admitted receiving
funds from California friends to
defray his expense in the Senate,
Mr.. Truman asserted that "you
ought to take look at his voting
record-he has voted against
everything for the people"
Praised by Langer.
In bespeaking support for the
Stevenson -Sparkman ticket. the
President also urged North Da-
kotans to send Democrats to
Congress, but it was evident that
this was pretty much of tongue
in-cheek appeal in the State, for
the Democrats are playing ball
with the Non-PartiSan League
and Republican Senator LANCER
and Representative Burdick-whoI
are candidates for reelection
were in the Truman encourage
all day.
At Devils Lake, in late after
noon, Senator LANCER, who has
kept silent on the Eisenhower
candidacy, introduced President
Truman, an old Senate associate.
as lone of the best friends the
common people of North Dakota
ever has had in the White House"
It is doubtful if the President
heard his rejoinder. but others in
his party did.
The Devils Lake speech pro-
duced an acid comment by Mr..
Truman. A couple of. teen-aged
youths sang Eve want Ike" as
the President concluded his talk.
"Why don't you get him and
you'll get what's coming to you."
Mr.. Truman snapped. Gen. Eisen-
hover will be in North Dakota in
a few days.
The crowds at the 10 North Da-
kota stops uniformly were sizable
three or four ran from an esti-
mated 1000 to 10,000-but not
particularly demonstrative.
Pleased With Reaction.
North Dakota Democratic lead
ers were more than pleased with
the reaction. and David G.. Kelly.
Democratic national committee
man, said it is a "cinch" that the
State will vote for Gov. Stevenson.
It would be the first Democratic
victory since 1886. President Tru-
man lost North Dakota to Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey four years ago
by 10000, while Henry Wallace
and his Progressives were polling
about 5000 votes. The President
said he was greatly encouraged by
yesterdays trip.
Rather Interestingly. while ear
nestly urging the election of Gov.
Stevenson "who has made won-
derful record as Governor of Illi-
nois," Mr.. Truman on several oc-
casions referred to himself as "the
leader of the Democratic Party" "
as he discussed the various roles
a President must play.
