do well to hold their present 20

Letters to the Editor
State of Desperation
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Adlai Stevenson has repeatedly
stated that if he is elected on Nov
9Th that his first undertaking would
be to discontinue the H-bomb tests
in this country Thus by doing so,
he would interfere with the Scien-
tific Research of the most vital
weapon of our defenSes. Any
school boy knows that in order that
our Scientists can develop this
weapon, they must make the neces-
sary tests.
Mr.. Stevenson was not satisfied
with just bringing the H-Bomb in
to his Smear Campaign, which
should not have been a political is
sue at ALI but he also states that
he will discontinue the draft.
There are certainly only two
reasons for Stevenson to make such
daring statements. The first reason
being, that he is totally I'M
acquainted with the facts regarding
these H-Bomb tests. The other
reason is that he is desperately APP
pealing for votes, by trying to throw
scare into the people. But | hon
eStly believe that there are very
few good Americans who are will
ing to vote for a man who is willing
to gamble with the defenses of our
Great Country for his own personal
gain. But | feel quite sure that if
Premier Bulganin and Mr. Khrush-
chev had the great opportunity to
vote at the Nov 9th election. that
they would vote for Mr. Stevenson.
1t is a fact that Premier Bulganin
has already indicated in his letter
to President Eisenhower that this
is the case. There is certainly no
doubt in the minds of the voters
whom Russia would ike to see as.
President of the United States
Every American knows quite well
that President Eisenhower has
made every effort possible to get
Russia to cooperate with the rest
of the other Free Nations of the
world to reduce ornaments. Did
not President Eisenhower offer to
Russia and all other Nations. an
Open Sky Inspection? Did Russia
show any signs of good faith re-
garding this offer? No.
| feel most of the American
people are very well enlightened
as to just how much Russia is will
ing to reduce her ornaments and
how far she is willing to go along
with the other Free Nations for
lasting peace
| don't think many of our people
have forgotten the meeting of the
Big Four, which was held some
years ago at Yalta. At this historic
meeting, another one of our Demo-
cratic Presidents was taken in by
Joel don't mean Joe Smith,
mean Good Old joe" And if we
recall after that meeting of many
promises and agreements, Russia
started her Conquest of gobbling
up all of the smaller nations in her
grasp. We were very generous in
allowing Russia to enter Germany
as one of our Allies And what Gid
good old Joe do to us? He
closed the corridor that leads
into West Germany-thus causing
our Government to use the Air Lift
which cost this country untold mil
lions and many American lives.
Who was it that stopped Harry
Truman's political action in Korea
and brought back many thousands
of our young men? 1t was our
Great President Eisenhower.
