Loose Exhaust Pipe
Almost Hits Eisenhower
By the Associated Press

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 10.-Gen.
Eisenhower's battle-ground luck
saw him through another hazard
late yesterday.
A piece of exhaust pipe, kicked
up by the car in front of his,
missed the generals head by only
two feet as the Eisenhower motor
cade was en- route from Long
Beach to Los Angeles.
The general, sitting in the back
seat of a convertible, lodged
slightly. Observers said if he had
been atop the seat, the tubing
would have hit him in the head
or chest.
Early last Saturday, while the
Eisenhower campaign train was
moving in the switching yards in
Chicago, it jolted suddenly and
the general suffered hard head
bump. Later he said he felt
''groggy all day" as a result. He
was lying down when the train
jolted and his head banged
against a wall.

Buzzed in GERMANY

crew of an tnarmed United States

again to wipe out racial segrega-
ton in the Nations Capital, after
charging the Democrats have
failed to do so in 20 years of
power.
Gen. Eisenhower faces another
gruelling schedule today, which
will take him by plane from
Phoenix to Tucson, Albuquerque
and Salt Lake City.
But his two days in California.
where 80 electoral votes are at
stake, are likely to stand as the
highlight of his Western tour. The
crowds he drew in California sur
passed any he had attracted pre-
viously, and raised the hopes of his
staff over his chances OF carrying
the State.
Senator Seaton, of Nebraska,
one of the generals aides, said it
is too early to claim California.
But he expressed confidence the
Republican nominee did himself
a world OF good" while in the
State.
Points to Warren Endorsement.
The Senator pointed out that
Gov. Earl Warren's out-and-out
Endorsement of the general is
bound to boost his chances. Only
a week before Gen. Eisenhower
arrived Gov. Warren also got
aboard President .Truman's train
and said he would always intro
duce Mr. Truman in California.
The Governor, whose voice is
powerful in California, not only
accompanied Gen. Eisenhower
from one end of the State to the
other, but in Long Beach yester-
day he introduced Gen. Eisen-
hover in these words:
mo man is more capable of
doing the things that need to be
done to have peace and prosperity

At Long Beach Gen. Eisenhower
took his first crack at the Federal
Governments attempt to gain
control of the oil-rich tidelandS
along the coast.
In California, Texas and Louisi-
ana there is strong opposition to
Federal control of tidelands, and

100 years and more the lands

have been held by the courts and
by the agencies of Government

through some new doctrine called

Government seeks to come into
the State and seize that property
and take it back. They are be-

must rise up in arms against
them. There will be no liberal

100000 Cheer General.
From Long Beach. Gen. Eisen-
hover rode 20 miles in a motor
cade into Los Angeles, where an
estimated 100000 persons waited
along the streets to wave and cheer
as he passed.
Gen. Eisenhower has referred to
segregation in Washington before,
but in Los Angeles last night he
restated his position:
For 20 years leaders of the ad-
ministration party have been max
Ing promises. For 20 years the
government Of Washington and
the District of Columbia has been
their responsibility. And yet after
those 20 years racial segregation
still exists in our Nations Capital.
Il am for wiping out every in
equality of opportunity. And I am
for starting to do that right in
our Nations Capital as we'll as In
every other operation, military
and civil, of our Federal Govern
ment."
It has become customary in
recent years for presidential can
didates to discuss social security
and other welfare programs in
Southern California, because lib
eral pension plans have figured
prominently in political campaigns
here since the days of the de-
preston.
Gen. Eisenhower followed the
custom in Los Angeles last night,
and denounced efforts he said the
opposition have made to spread
the idea that a Republican ad-
ministration would endanger So
cial security.
Blasts at Truman.
Departing from his prepared
text, Gen. Eisenhower charged
that President Truman Is going
