Mr.. Stevenson charged Mr..
Wilson has done this by making
campaign speeches and collecting
campaign contributions from the

Mr.. Stevenson told a rally of
Democratic Women's clubs that
"the Republican high command"
has turned the campaign into
IAN ugly slugfest Of slogans,
charges and epithets" in an ef-
fort to becloud vital issues.
This was done. he went on,

But he departed from his pre-
pared speech to take q slap at

Wilson's recent remarks about
kennel dogs and bird dogs in
discussing unemployment. Mr..
Stevenson said:
"It isn't so much what he says
that hurts, it's what he does
he says almost anything.
"Mr. General Motors reminds
me of that woman who said she

The Foreign Minister'S short
stay which heralds the approach
ing visit of Prime Minister Shig-

the occasion for the 6-to-8

200 guests to the Embassy.
It was also an occasion for
the American colony which was
in Tokyo during the allied oc-

Many Diplomats Attend.
While the guests, who in
cluded diplomats from Latin

mingled with members of the
embassy staff in the large main
drawing room, Foreign Minister
Okazaki received with the Am
bassador and his wife in an
adjoining room.
Others in the receiving line
were Mr.. Kiichi Aichi, Minister

while the unions are helping

In q few instances--such as

Committee who are having tough
