Democratic Victory
WiIIResfore Respect,
Stevenson Asserts
By the Assoeiossd Pres.

GREAT NECK, N. Y, Oct. 80.
--Adlai Stevenson says President
Eisenhower needs a Democratic
Congress to stop the giveaway
and restore respect of the United
States throughout the world"
Nearing the end Of a CAM
paign swing through the New
York area, Mr.. Stevenson, last
night told a Democratic rally in
Nassau County:
"The President has said he
needs a Republican Congress to
do what he couldn't do with a
Republican Congress. We Demo-
Gratis say he needs a Democratic
Congress to stop the giveaway
and restore the respect of the
United States throughout the
world"
Mr.. Stevenson criticized the
Republicans for what he termed
a Nationwide campaign of
smears and abuses. He named
Vice President Nixon as the
leader.
Assails Vice President.
Mr.. Stevenson said that a
Democratic Congress is needed
most of all to repudiate
the character Of the campaign
that has been conducted by our
opponents all over the United
States"
He told a cheering crowd of
more than 2,500:
''We find at the conclusion Of
the campaign for Congress d.
that it has degenerated largely
into smears. slurs, slogans and
what-not-charges of commu-
nism in government-charges of
being soft on communism.
This campaign is led by none
other than the Vice President
of the United States"
Mr.. Stevenson said he is dis
tressed that President Eisen-
hover has not repudiated Re-
publican tactics. To the contrary,
he said, this afternoon, speak
ing in Cleveland, the President
had recourse to the same tech
nique."
Talks Again Tonight.
Mr.. Stevenson's speech was
interrupted repeatedly by an
audience which apparently en-
joyed immensely the jibes at
the Republicans. The Demo-
cratic leader is scheduled TO
make another speech in New
York tonight. This will be tele-
vised across the Nation by the
NBC network at $50 pm. and
rebroadcast on NBC radio at
1890 pm.
With an Endorsement for

Hartman, Mr.. Stevenson turned

posed by Republican Senator

British Are Naive
About Red China,
Sfruve HenseI Saws

Assistant Defense Secretary
H. Struve Hensel said today
American "unawareness" of the
Russian threat at Yalta and
Potsdam was being repeated by
some former British officials in
suggestions about dealing with
Red China.
Mr.. Hensel called the sugges-
tions NAIVE" He did not name
the former British officials but
obviously referred to British
Labor Party leaders who have
recently visited Russia and Com
munist China.
Arguments as to who made
what mistakes and how this un-
stable situation could have been
! avoided are interesting exer-
cises for the historians. They do
not help particularly in finding
solutions. .a,.a
He set forth his views In a
speech before the Washington
Forum for Bank Executives,
sponsored by the District Of
Columbia Bar and Georgetown
University, at a Hotel Statler
luncheon.
Balance of Power Ended.
"The heritage of World War II
was a global situation which
guaranteed turmoil and con-
f1ict," Mr.. Hensel declared. "Any
semblance of a balance Of power
among nations was destroyed.
Only two great powers were left
the United States and Russia.
The others were exhausted or
flattened. The vacuums thus
created were almost magnets for
the expansionist tendencies of
Russia.
"Our policy of unconditional
surrender for Germany and
Japan undoubtedly prolonged
the struggle and increased the
destruction of property and
strength. The result might have
been worse in Japan if the allies
had insisted-as was urged
on abdication of the Emperor
before the acceptance Of surren-
der. The Morgenthau plan for
a pastoral Germany must bear
its share Of the responsibility.
Hits Naive Suggestions.
"Our concessions to the Rus
slams at Yalta and Potsdam re-
f1ected an unawarenesS of the
Russian threat which is being
repeated in the current naive
suggestions by some former Brit
ish statesmen about dealing with
Red China"
Mr.. Hensel, who is assistant
secretary for international Sc
curity Affairs, accompanied Sec.
retary of State Dulles to Paris
and to the nine-power confer.
ence in London. He said those
conferences demonstrate that
when nations really want tt

"That is what this election
is about. Do we want to keep
this team together that has
brought and is bringing peace
and prosperity"
Explains Position.
At Louisville. he made his
point with these words:
"As long as you have-as you
must have-an executive branch
in control of one party for the
next two years, progress toward
peace will be more rapid, more
assured; and prosperity will be
more certain. if we do not break
up the team at this point
In stresslng over and over again
his desire to see everybody vote
next Tuesday, Gen. Eisenhower
dwelt repeatedly on the impor-
tance a single vote can have in
an election.
'It is easy to say that one
vote doesn't count" he remarked
MY friends, there have been
three Presidents elected by one
electoral vote in the electoral
college: and one of those Presi-
dents. the vote that elected him
because it was finally put in the
House of Representatives, was by
a Representative from Indiana
whose margin of victory was one
vote. And that one vote was
from sick constituent who in
sisted on being carried from his
bed to the voting BOOTH"
The Presidents Gen. Eisen-
hover had in mind were Thomas
Jefferson, John Quincy Adams
and Rutherford Hayes. The
Hayes election was the one
thrown into the House.
