not come simply from great
natural resources secured against

and friendly neighbors. Other
nations have had all that and
for longer periods.
"The American succeeded be-

The exhibit was prepared by

Glen Taylor Making Strong Bid
For Senate in Idaho Race

llCA4nlC 4dAu III ~ 1SC ouPpOAI PAO-
gram in a State where Secretary
of Agriculture Ezra Benson has
a strong personal following, but
where there is admitted dissat-
isfaction among dairymen and
wheat growers who had been
forced until recently to leave
part of their land idle under De-
partment of Agriculture rulings.
The Republican Senator is
taking full advantage of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's appeal for a
Republican Congress, although
he says he doesn't always vote
with the administration.
IF we can get out a fairly
heavy vote. I am confident we
can win.' Senator Dworshak
said.
Republicans have put Mr..
Taylor on the defensive about
some of his foreign policy state
ments while he was a Senator.
but he replies to these and
ploughs ahead into a full -fledged
attack on Gen. Eisenhower and
his administration.
His 1948 Speech Cited.
Wally c. Burns. Republican
state chairman, asked Mr.. Taylor
if he favors admission of Com
munist China to the United
Nations, citing an excerpt from
a March 8. 1948, speech by Mr..
Taylor in the Senate in which
the Democrat saids.
II am also convinced that the
so-called Communists in China
are rather mild socialists with a
program of agrarian reform, that
they make a sincere effort at
honest government in the areas
they hold and that they have the
confidence of the Chinese
people"
Mr.. Taylor replied that he got
this wrong impression" from the
book United States Relations
with China" written by Patrick
j. Hurley, Republican former
Secretary of War and former
Ambassador to China.
I'm numbering them with that
quote" MI. Taylor told an inter-
viewer with a chuckle.
A Bad Political Mistake.
Mr.. Taylor admits cheerfully
that his decision to run with
Mr.. Wallace was "a bad political
mistake that cost me my seat in
the Senate"
But my objective was to try
to give the country a warning
about supporting policy OF
backing colonialism," he said
II said that policy would be
disastrous and there is no better
word to describe our situation
today as a result Of continuing to
follow that policy"
Mr.. Taylor still talks about
"Wall Street" and it's alleged
control of the Government under
the Republicans. He quotes what
he said was prediction of the
Wall Street Journal that support
levels on feed grains are going
to be cut after the election.
Wheat growers who have been
forced to cut their acreage have
only lately gained Mr.. Benson's 's
approval to put in barley and
other grains in their idle lands
a decision Mr.. Taylor charac-
terizes as political"
The Democratic candidate
spares no rods in his criticism
of President Eisenhower, evi.
IDENTIFY convinced that, despite
Mr.. Eisenhower IS, 800 majority
in a total State vote of 275,7
in the 1852 presidential race, the
President is slipping here.
II stand squarely on the broker
promises of Mr.. Eisenhower" Mr.
Taylor said.

Utah 6. 0.P. Weighs
Fate Of StringfeIIow
In House Race
BY the Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 18.-
Troubled Utah Republican
Party leaders meet in Salt Lake
City tonight to consider the
political fate of a man they had
thought-only 48 hours before
to be a sure winner for the
1st district congressional seat
he now holds.
The meeting was hurrlediy
scheduled over the week end
after Representative Douglas r.
Stringfellow Saturday night dis
closed that he was not. as he's
claimed in many quarters in
cluding the Congressional Rec
ord, the hero of secret, behind
the-lines mission into World
War II Germany to capture DR..
Otto Hahn, atomic scientist.
With tears running down his
cheeks, the 32-year-old disabled
veteran had appeared on a tele-
vision program to say that his
story of wartime cloak-and-
dagger heroism - heroism - re-
counted lover a decade when I
had made over 200 speeches in
single year"-was a hoax.
Mr.. Stringfellow offered to
withdraw from the congressional
race, but left the decision up to
Utah's 128-member Republican
State Committee.
To Sample Opinion.
State Republican Chairman o.
j. Wilkinson said that county
and other q. o. P. Readers had
been instructed to come to the
meeting with a sample Of opin-
ion in their home districts.
He said reaction to Mr.. String
fellows disclosure at State party
headquarters was tremendous. y
and that a large volume" of the
telephone calls and kilograms
indicated the callers would still
vote for the representative.
Asked if there had been any
reaction from National Republi-
can officials, Mr.. Wilkinson said
there was none. He said a copy
of Mr.. Stringfellow's statement
had been mailed to national
party officials and to the White
House, inviting comment, but
that these probably wouldn t
reach Washington until today.
Mr.. Strinfellow made his dis
closure on the heels of a story
published in the Veterans Edition
of the Army Times, an unofficial
Washington newspaper, which
questioned the authenticity of his
tale of wartime espionage.
Reaction to his confession
wasn't confined to Mr.. String
fellows home State. In New Or
leans, Evangelist Billy Graham
announced at crusade sermon
that he almost wept when he
heard of it. A woman in Houston,
Tex. announced that a sched-
uled Stringfellow lecture there
would be promptly Cancelled. And
Ralp Edwards, producer of the
This Is Your Life" program
which featured Mr.. Stringfellow S
story last January, said that "by
the time we decided to do it the
story had been printed and re-
printed so many times it was
unimpeachable."
An independent motion pic
ture producer announced he had
obtained movie rights to the
bogus story only last week.
Mr.. Stringfellow, married and
the father of two small boys,
wears braces on his legs as the
aftermath of a mine explosion in
France during World War II.
Had Feared Defeat
| Only last week. a top State
Democratic official had privately
admitted that he thought Mr..
Stringfellow's opponent, Walter
