Demos Make
.Erontal Attack
On Eisenhower
BY JACK BELL

WARRINGTON IA frontal at
tack BY the Democratic high COM
mard On President Eisenhower an
peared today to represent a last
minute switch in campaign tao
tics over the protests of some par
ty members.
National Chairman Stephen A
Mitchell put an official stamp on
the new tactic yesterday by accu-
sing Eisenhower of joining in what
Mitchell called "Red smear" of
Democratic candidates for Con
gress.
While thers was no public COM
plant from party members. it was
learned authoritatively that Nit
chell had overruled some Demo-
cratic Leaders who cautioned
against attacks on Eisenhower de.
spite the Presidents own burst of
campaigning JUS before TUESDAYS
voting deadline.
Some Democrats evidently be-
heve that Eisenhower's popularity
remains at such a level that voter
resentment might cause direct at
tacks on him to boomerang. These
Democrats were said to have ar
gued that to hit at the President
would only help publicize, his ap-
peal for a Republican Congress.
But Mitchell overrode this ad-
vice at a news conference yester-
day. He called Eisenhower's ac-
tions "shameful"-a much sitter
term than any which had been
employed previously IN the cam
paign by any top Democrat, in
cluding Adlai E. Stevenson. the
1852 presidential nominee.
Mitchell made it clear that the
strategy had been carefully
thought out, saying beforehand ne
wanted to read his charges from
a prepared statement. Then. in OBJ
vious Difference to the division of
Democratic views, he ducked uues-
tions as to whether he was trying
to make Eisenhower the issue in
the campaign.
Mitchell said Eisenhower Joined
in a "smear campaign" by con-
graduating Vice President Nixon
on Nixon's campaign efforts, and
then by bringing the Communist
in-government issue into his own
Speechmaking on a flying tour
of four cities yesterday.
The Democratic chairman said
Nixon had been ''peddling figures
about so-called Communists in
government which tell an utterly
false story" He said Eisenhower
had disclaimed knowledge of this
at Wednesdays White House news
conference.
but on Thursday" Mitchell
said, "Mr. Eisenhower became a
party to the smear campaign.
Whether or not he found out in
the meantime what Mr.. Nixon had
been saying, he sent warm letter
of congratulations to Mr.. Nixon
on his effective work in the cam
paign.
"And today, President Eisen-
hover himself joined in the Red
smear in his airport speeches.
This is shameful"

CHICAGO @-Police last night
ambushed and killed Agostino
(Gus) Amedeo, a cop-slaying ex-
convict.
The elusive 26-year-old fugitive
was shot down at a busy North
Side intersection as he tried to
escape a trap carefully laid BY
nearly score of detectives.
Amedeo had been the object of
an intensive police search since
he fatally shot Detective Charles
Annerino, 30, of the robbery detail
in a North Side saloon Oct. 21.
The police had been ordered 10

AS Amedeo reached the corner.
one of the policemen. called:
"Give up, Gust"
Amedeo drew his gun and, start
ing to run, fired twice.
A fusillade of police bullets rid
died him with possibly a dozen
shots.
A bystander, Louis Molnar, IS.
was hit by a stray bullet and suf-
fered minor chest wound. Traf-
fic was halted in Clark Street by
crowd of more than 1000 who
jammed the intersection after
word spread that the hunted killer
had been slain.
Amedeo had been hunted since
his escape from the Criminal
Courts Building June %. Amedeo,
who had served two prison SEN
tences, was being led back to his
cell after being arraigned for burg
larry when he whipped out a Snug
gled gun. He and Anthony Gam
bino, rs, handcuffed three deputy
sheriffs and a bailiff to the cell
door and left through a basement
window. Gambino was recaptured
last August.
Shortly after Amedeo's escape,
police picked up his girl friend,
Mrs. Dolores del Genio Marcus,
q. She was charged with aiding
felon to escape by paying $5 to
a bailiff and smuggling the gun to
Amedeo.
A few days after Annerino was
slain, police were tipped Mrs.
Marcus and Amedeo were in a
North Side apartment but the pair
had fled when police arrived.
Mrs. Marcus was picked up
later and charged with being an
accessory to murder and harbor-
ing a felon. She is held in Jail
without bail.
Mrs. Marcus, a mother of two
children, denied living with Ame-
deo but said she had been holding
clandestine meetings with hm
while her husband was at work.
Police said the tip that led to
Amedeo's death came from Mrs.
Marcus sister-inl"w, Mrs. Doro-
thy del Genio. 1t. Pape said she
told him Amedeo had called her
and arranged to meet at the inter-
section at $50 last night. Police
kept the date for Mrs. del Genio.

Adlai Says Democrat Congress
Would Stop Civeaway Program
Bv JOHN BAusMAN

GREAT NECK, NY, R-Adlai
Stevenson says President Eisen-
hover needs a Democratic Con.
gress to stop the giveaway and
restore respect of the United States
throughout the world"
Nearing the end of campaign
swing through the New York area,
Stevenson last night told a Demo-
cratic rally in Nassau County:
'.The President has said he needs
a Republican Congress to do what
he couldn't do with Republican
Congress. We Democrats say he
needs a Democratic Congress 10
stop the giveaway and restore the
respect of the United States
throughout the world"
Stevenson, Democratic candidate
for President in 1852, criticized the
Republicans for what he termed a
nationwide campaign of smears
and abuses. He named Vice Presi-
dent Nixon as the leader.
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 $500:
1--WE find at the conclusion of the
campaign for Congress. that it
has degenerated largely into
smears, slurs, slogans and what
not-charges of communism in
government, charges Of being soft
on communism.
"This campaign is led by none
other than the vice president Of
the United States"
Stevenson said he is distressed
that President Eisenhower has not
repudiated Republican tactics. To
the contrary, he said, ''this after
noon, speaking in Cleveland, the
President had recourse to the same
technique
Eisenhower said in Cleveland
that when the Republicans took of
flee in 1852 1--WE were tired of hear
ing the word Communist every
time it was mentioned being called
a red herring"
Stevenson's speech was inter
rupted repeatedly by an audience
which apparently enjoyed immense
ly the jibes at the Republicans.
The Democratic leader is sched-
uled to make another speech in
New York tonight. This will be
televised across the nation by the
NBC network and rebroadcast on
NBC radio.
With an endorsement for guber-
material candidate AvereIl Harri-
man, Stevenson turned last night
to the New York State. election.
Hartman is opposed by Republi-
can Sen. Irving M. Ives.
A campaign of abuse" has been
'the counsel of desperation on the
part of the Republican candidate, :"
Stevenson declared.
He said Hartman has been
charged with being an "old robber
baron and quite unfit to serve the
common people on one hand and
on the other of being a wild radical
young Socialist trying to destroy
himself" He continued:
'sThe story of Mr.. Hartman is
in fact great chapter in the story
of our democracy, of that small
but distinguished group of Ameri.
can businessmen who were ahead
of their time, who recognized in
the great depression an interval
