BY Stor Stoff Correspondent

DENVER, Oct. g. President
Eisenhower was interrupted so
much by applause from a capac-

Economic Measures
OF Congress Cited

In 1852, our people also
wanted a strong peacetime
economy. For this our Re-
publican-led Congress took
many steps. 1t passed, for ex-
ample, a new housing pro-
gram. 1t passed an expanded
highway program. 1t passed
a new farm program to stop
the Seven-year decline in
farmers income-a program
to promote lasting farm pros
perity in an America no longer
at war.
The Congress extended old
age and survivors, insurance
to 1912 million more Americans
and raised their benefits. And.
at last. these benefits include
farmers who have been in
directly helping to pay the
cost of the Social Security
system all these years. The
Congress extended coverage of
unemployment compensation
to million more Americans.
It passed tax revisions to en-
courage small business and to
eliminate inequities in the law.
Due to these and other
measures, we have at last an
economy whose strength is not
sapped by the virus of infla-
tion-an economy whose
strength is not dependent upon
the sacrifices of the battle
field.
Without the economic COL
lapse so widely forecast by
professional pessimists, our
Nation has moved from war
to peace.
Nevertheless, / am keenly
aware that, in some American
localities, dislocations and
ffardships do exist. These are
the inescapable aftermath of
war and imitation. These prob
lens we are striving constantly
to ease. Especially in the 10
calities concerned. as well as
in the rest of the country,
we are taking concrete action
to foster strength in our
economy.
There was something else,
two years ago. that all of us
especially wanted. We wanted
subversives out of Government
service.
This administration and the
Republican Congress are deal
ing decisively with the Com
munist menace. We are back
ing to the hilt the Depart
ment of Justice and the FBI.
There is no vacillation nor in
action on the part Of this ad-
ministration in dealing with

Deeds, Not Words Held
Aim of Foreign Policy

And abroad, we have an hon.
est. fortnight foreign policy
concerned with deeds, not
words. Over the globe our
friends know our devotion to
freedom. They know that
America joins with those who
help themselves in the effort
to preserve liberty and peace.
Two years ago, war was rag
ing in Korea and Indo-China.
All Asia lay exposed to the
steady advance of the Reds.
Iran, with 60 per cent of the
worlds known petroleum re-
serves, was in deadly danger.
Suez and Trieste posed con-
stant threats to peace in the
West. Europe had foundered
on century-old differences,
unable to build a position of re-
liable strength. Even in the
Western Hemisphere, in Guate-
mala, Communist imperialism
had ominously appeared.
You know of the events that
have since occurred.
In London, a few days ago,
an agreement of momentous
significance will powerfully
strengthen the defense of the
West. Just this week, after
almost a decade of anxious
effort, Yugoslavia and Italy
settled their differences over
Trieste. For the first time in
20 years, there is no active
battlefield anywhere in the
world. For the first time,
through the Manila pact and
the Pacific charter, we have
created solid understandings
with friendly peoples of Asia,
building strength in an area
OF critical weakness. And, at
last, we are harnessing the
atom to the work of peace.
AS for nations which, despite
our best efforts, are still un-
friendly, they harbor no de-
lusions about the determina-
ton and the growing strength
of the free world.
Recently Communist impe-
rialiSm discovered that the
American republics mean busi-
ness. First at Caracas, then
in 10 short, determined days,
the Communist beachhead in
Guatemala was decisively re-
pulsed.
In all of these ways, there
has been progress of the most
tremendous import to the
peace and security of the West
ern world. Much of this prog
ress is due to the richness of
experience, imagination and
determination of our distin-
guished Secretary of State,
John Foster Dulles.
Fellow citizens, have re-
cited some of the advances
made in many fields in a
short 20 months. For the most
part, they have grown out of
a cordial partnership between
the administration and our
Republican-led Congress.

to improve our peacetime farm
program.
We must have a vast new
highway program.
We must expand our foreign
trade and American invest
ment abroad. We must expand
markets for Americas farms
and factories, if we are to keep
prosperity in our land.
We must write into law q
national water resources pro-
gram.
we must help our people
meet their critical health and
medical needs, while repudiat-
ing once and for all the So
cialiZation of medicine.
We must find ways to en-
courage communities to pro-
vide the schoolhouseS they
need and to improve oppor-
tunities for their school teach
erS.
We must build a new and
effective reserve program for
our armed forces.
We must begin to unravel
the confused relations between
the Federal, State and local
governments, and make still
more improvements in the Or
ganization of the Federal Gov
ernment.
We must drive through par
tisan distractions to achieve
Statehood for Hawaii, to lower
the voting age in Federal elec-
tions, and to make our
promised changes in the labor
management laws.
We must continue our his
toric advances in the vital area
of civil rights.
Now, my friends. a cold war
or partisan politics between
the Congress and the execu-
tive branch won't give us these
goals.

clean, honest, decent Govern
ment again in Washington.
Two years ago, they wanted
Government spending and
heavy taxes reduced.
In 20 months, this adminis-
tration and the Republican,
led Congress cut our Govern
ment's costs by $l1 billion.
And, at last, we have had a
tax cut. Taxes we're cut by STA
billion-the largest tax reduc-
ton in history. It brings hene-
fits to every family in every
American home.
At the same time, we smoked
out 211, 900 unnecessary posi-
tions on the Federal payrolls,
and we got rid of them.
Meanwhile, our Government
has been returning to private
citizens activities traditionally
theirs.
1t is stopping the roasting
of coffee, baking of bread.
making paint and clothes. 1t
has stopped running a hotel.
1t stopped running a tug and
barge business on our inland,
WaterWays-a business that
was losing money. We sold it,
by the way, at good price.
Americans had many other
goals in 1882.
They wanted a strong ma
tional defense at less cost.
We have today the strong
est armed forces in our peace
time history. In building them
we have saved vast funds. We
have cut red tape and elimi-
mated duplication and waste.
And let me make this clear:
Our military strength does not
consist of involuntarily re-
called veterans who have al
ready served our Nation in

DENVER, Oct. 9.-Followtng
is the tert OF President Eisen-
hotUer's campaign address last
night:
My good friends, over all of
America
Tonight, as I speak to my
countrymen, I am privileged to
address myself particularly to
my fellow Republican workers,
gathered here in Denver and in
meetings throughout our land.
To each of you-to your fami-
lies, friends and political asSo-
ciates-I send my warmest
greetings.
am very happy that to-
night Vice President Nixon,
Speaker Joe Martin and the
other members of our able
legislative team are here with
us. Under the leadership of
these men, the Republican 83d
Congress was led to its extraor-
dinary success. They have
my respect and admiration for
the splendid service they have
rendered the American people.
Tonight, in our meetings
over America, we come to-
gether as members OF the
Republican Party. In spirit we
have also with us the great
army of other Americans who
since 1852 have fought with us
for the great plans and pro-
grams for which the Repub-
lican Party stands.
We assemble proud of our
party's principles - proud OF
our party's record.
What are those principles
and that record, and as Re-
publicans, what is our goal?
Not political power for its
own sake but advancing the
good of 1863 million Americans,
is our goal.
To that end, we are dedi-
Gated to the maximum OF in
dividual freedom, fostered by
a Government desiring not to
dominate but only to serve
a Government kept close to
the hearthsides of America
a Government liberal in deal
ing with the human concerns
of our people, but conservative
in spending their money. From
Lincoln's day to this, these
have been the fundamental
aims of our historic party.
Republicans believe that
such Government will best pre-
serve liberty and justice. and
prosperity and happiness in
our land.
Such a Government will best
promote an enduring peace in
the world.
These are the convictions
that unite US: this is the cause
that inspires us to continued
and dedicated effort.
Two years ago the people of
our country showed their de-
sire for this kind of Govern
ment.

almost every turn of his speech
on Republican accomplishments.
But when the lights went out
and President Eisenhower ap-
peared on two television screens,
the Republicans reverted to
type. That is to say they sat
almost as quietly as if they had
been in their own living rooms.
They had enthusiastically re-

made by Gilbert Hahn, jr., vice
chairman of the local Finance

on the screen, however, he was
rather calmly received.
Nothing Like Denver.
A few hardly souls in the back
of the Continental Room of the
Sheraton Park Hotel tried to get
little spirit into things by
clapping and cheering, but their
efforts were a pale shadow of
the fervent racket that came

the President was speaking.

Americans Wanted
End to Korean War

Remember election day 1852.
In the early hours of morning,
in thousands Of precincts over
America, our citizens eagerly
lined up to vote long before
the polls had opened.
Do you remember why Amer
leans crowded to the polls on
November 4th, 1852?
Let's think back.
Two years ago Americans
wanted an end to the war in
Korea-a war allowed to be-
come futile, seemingly without
end.
They wanted something done
about our veterans, who sud-
denly found the country SO
poorly prepared that they
themselves had once again to
undergo the dangers of battle,
while others remained at home
who had never served.
Americans wanted a Govern
ment thrifty and frugal with
the public's money.
They wanted a stop to the
endless rise in taxes. taking
more and more of the family
income to support an over
grown Washington bureauc-
racy.
They wanted something done
about infia ation-to end the
growing discourag cement as day
by day pensions and savings
and the weekly pay check
bought less and less at the
corner store.
Americans were determined
to eliminate penetration by the
COMMUNIST conspiracy in our
Government and in our whole
society. They did not consider
it a red herring.
They wanted clean, honest
Government.
They were especially anxious
to get rid of the antagonism
between the Congress and the
executive which hamstrung the
processes of our Government.
All this was wanted two
years ago. and you did some
thing about it.
You remember the telephone
brigades of two years ago.
You remember the "get out the
vote" campaigns. You remem-
ber the drive, the enthusiasm
that, on November 4, 1852,
surged forth from our people.
And what happened? You
got results.
The people of America got
rid of the kind of Government
they did not want. They re-
placed it with the kind of Gov
ernment they did want.
In just 20 months, we have
come far.
First of all, with the help of
thousands of citizens from
every walk of life and from
every part Of America. we de-
vised a Republican program In
keeping with the party's plat
form and the pledges made
to America during the cam
paign. That program had but
one purpose-to make America
stronger and better, with grow
