NEW YORK R-President Els
enhoWer told the nation last night
his administration has 'come far"
toward blocking Communist ag-
gression and winning lasting world
peace, but that Russia and Red
China still are dangerous threats.
The White House called his ma-
jor address here "nonpolitical, 3
and the President termed it a re-
ply % sharp criticism fired at Re-
publican foreign policy by former
President Harry S. Truman and
Adlai e. Stevenson, the 1852 DEM
ocratic presidential nominee.
But Eisenhower's assertion that
the free world can indeed take
heart" over what he outlined as
progress achieved in the struggle
against Communism contrasted
with the picture painted by Tru-
man and Stevenson last week.
Today, the chief executive ar
ranged two political meetings ad-
vertised as such, and New York
and New Jersey COP leaders
were counting on the sessions to
provide boost for the party's
congressional and state office
candidates.
The President scheduled the first
meeting with some 300 New York
Republican workers and candi-
dates at the party's state head
quarters in the Roosevelt Hotel
here. The group is headed by us.

Arabella Loses
Her Lover After
Honeymoon In Zoo

LONDON IN - A mutual friend
announced with regret today that
Arabella and Mr.. Jiggs have called
it quits.
Arabella, the first orang outang
ever to appear on a British teIe-
vision show, caught Mr.. Jiggs' eve
in the regent Park monkey house
only four months ago.
Mr.. Jiggs promptly gave his cur
rent girl friend the old heave-ho,
and he and Arabella started keep
ing house together.
For a couple of weeks everything
was hearts and flowers, or any,
way benanas and carrots. But Wis
itors TO the ZOO who had seen
Arabella on TV all wanted to toss
sweetmeats to the celebrity. Very
few had any time for Mr.. JiggS.
In due course Mr.. Jiggs took
to throwing his weight around,
and his weight is $40 pounds while
Arabella is q mere welterweight.
Yesterday the keepers stepped
in and restored Arabslla to the
hairy but loving arms Of her
mother Mary.

"In these many ways our nation
will continue tirelessly in Its quest
for peace based on justice. In re-
cent months we have come far
and yet. we know that the road
ahead is long and difficult"
Truman and Stevenson both let
fly in speeches last Saturday night
at the Eisenhower administrations
handling ofeforeign policy.
In Kansas City Truman called
for election Of q Democratic CON
trolled Congress Nov. 2 to end what
he termed a Republican spectacle
of "blunder after blunder" in inter-
national affairs. He said "frenzied
diplomacy" had cost the United
States the confidence OF allies.
Stevenson, in San Francisco,
blamed the Republicans "for the
unhappy fact that our prestige and
esteem and international respect
for the us. has fallen to. an all
time low"
Eisenhower's address was inter-
rupted seven times by applause.
He got a standing ovation when
he started and another when ne
concluded.
He said this country has three
avenues in its quest for peace.
"First, we must tirelessly seek
through the United Nations,
through every other available
means-to establish the conditions
for honorable peace.
Second, we must promote the
unity and collective strength of
other free peoples.
Third, we must maintain

Farm Prices Are Big Iowa Election Factor

isnt any burning interest in poll
tics or the election.
Disinterested as the voters may
be, candidates on both sides are
giving the full oratorical treatment
to all the usual issues, centering,
Of course, around what the Eisen-
hover administration has or hasn't
done. They get around to peace,
taxes, budget balancing, foreign
policy, communism, prosperity.
Gillette says he expects to win
on the general issue that there is
feeling of instability for the
future and Of double crosses in the
past"
''There is general uncertainty
everywhere, on the farms and in
the Cities" he said in an inter-
view.
Martin claims the one big issue
is the need for placing Republi-
cans in Congress to support Eisen-
hover. Gillette, he says, cancels
the votes Of the other Iowa sena-
tor, Republican Bourke B. Hick-
enlooper.
Gillette counters that on IA key
issues in the Senate he and Hicken-
looper voted the same way on half
and different on half. and on IL
key issues in the House, he says,
Martin and H. n. Cross, another
Iowa Republican, voted together on
half and split on half.
Then he runs through the Dem
ocratic refrain that time and again
Democratic votes saved vital parts
Of the Eisenhower program from
destruction at COP hands.
Gillette is IS, Martin 81, and.
some Republicans are whispering
q bit about the senator's age. He
pleads guilty" to being a Demo-
crat and to having been ''born
without any Intervention on my
part 7s years ago." But he says he
doesn't own a wheel chair and does
not need one.
Actually, issues are of compare
lively little significance in Gillette's
bid for another term. If he wins,
It viii be largely on the basis of a
strong personality and a striking
appearance that have made friends
in both parties-along with his oc-
casional votes siding with the COP.

t Speech Eisenhower Makes

The other conference was ar
ranged with former Rep. Clifford
T. Case of New Jersey, also run
ming for the Senate.
On the Presidents calendar is
another major address here to-
night and it-like last night's-is
being tabled "nonpolitical" by the
White House.
He will speak at the annual AL
fred E. Smith Memorial Dinner at
the Waldorf-AstOria Hotel.
The address is scheduled for
1890 pm. EST.
The President spoke last night
to 1900 guests at a dinner mark
Ing the 3O0th anniversary of Jewish
Life in the United States.
Mentioning some obstacles still
In the way of achievement of an
enduring peace, he declared:
"The principal and continuing
factor is the persiStently aggres-
siye design of Moscow and Peipinz,
which shows no evidence Of gen.
uine change despite their professed
desire to relax tensions and to pre-.
serve peace"
But, he said, much progress has
been made toward thwarting the
spread of communism - through
the new Western Europe defense
alliance agreement and through
the Southeast Asia pact recently
signed at Manila, for example.
He also mentioned improvement
OF the situations in Suez, Trieste
and Guatemala. He cited other
areas and other fields too and

DES MONIES R-The price of
ham and eggs--ham on the hoof,
that isis shaping into an import
ant election day factor in Iowa.
In the nations greatest hog-pro-
ducing state, the farmer is getting
less for hogs while his costs stay
up. His wife frequently can't break
even on the eggs she carts to mar
ket for pin and household money.
Most eggs are bringing is to IS
cents dozen and that's far less
than the prices Of a year ago.
Even though they aren't grumb-
Ling loudly or saying much about
politics or political reprisals, neith-
er farmers nor farm wives are ex-
actly happy about this.
As a result, the Democrats ex-
pect to profit at the polls and COP
brows are plowed with lines Of
worry.
Besides. there are signs that
some sort of Democratic trend
may be under way in this part
Of the farm belt.
1t might do no more than cut
down some of the usual Republican
margins of victory. A tide Of un-
foreseen volume and some real
political upsets would be needed
for the Democrats to shake any
Republicans out Of Iowa's eight
House seats-all held by the COP
land the gubernatorial mansion.
Yet some Democrats do profess
a glimmering hope for electing q
governor for the first time since
1886 and a congressman for the
first time since 1910.
Trend or no trend, they expect
to keep Democrat Guy M. Gillette
in the Senate. Gillette has proved
he can win in Iowa when no other
The Key West citizen., 1954-10-21

Democrats can come close. It takes
Republican votes for him to do
it, and the senator pulls them in.
The COP is challenging this for
midable opponent with Thomas E.
Martin, House member for 16
years. And it keeps pounding hard
on the idea that President Eisen-
hover needs a Republican con-
gress.
Democrat Clyde E. Herring Is
battling it out with Republican Leo
A. Hoegh for the job Republican
Gov. William S. Beardsley is va
eating after three terms. Herring
is the son of a former governor and
US. senator; Hoegh is the state's s
attorney general.
And for the first time in years
Democrats are putting up fight
all down the line for state and
county offices they used to let 20
by default. These very offices in
the Statehouse and courthouses
give the COP a solid core of sup
port in any election.
Six different polls have attempt
ed to test the Iowa political winds.
Gillette is leading in three, Martin
in three, while Hoegh is in front in
five and Herring in one.
The broadest samplng Of ssnti-
ment Is the Iowa poll of the Des
Moines Register. The tally on Oct.
3 showed Gillette and Hoegh
ahead. It also indicated that:

Interpolating at the end Of his

the American people to stalk for

conference table, from the class
room to the congressional halls.s
He said labor for peace" Is '1abor

Eisenhower repeated his willing

nations in an effort to win a dur

that nations wanting to confer
must first demonstrate honesty
of purpose. m
