that Mr.. Eisenhower is the

Butler Charges
6. @. P. Tries 10
Clean Up Nixon

Paul M. Butler, the Demo-
cratic National Chairman, says
Republican National Chairman
Leonard Hall is trying to clean
UP" the Vice President for the
1856 campaign.
In a statement yesterday, Mr..
Butler accused Mr.. Hall Of
Splitting hairs" in his defense
of Mr.. Nixon in which the Re-
publican national chairman said
he would pay $1,000 for proof
that the Vice President ever
called former President Truman
a traitor.
Mr.. Butler called the $1,000
offer AN advertising gimmick
designed to obscure the ugly in
nuendoes which Mr.. Nixon Ut
tered"
Mr.. Butler said Mr.. Nixon was
guilty Of a mot quite libelous
smear" when he repeatedly made
remarks deliberately contrived
and intended to leave his listen
ers with the impression that the
Democratic Party and its lead
ers have been guilty Of treason.
Sees Loyalty Impugned
cts time to stop splitting
hairs when we're talking about a
man who has impugned the 10y
atty and patriotism of a former
President and every member Of
the Democratic Party" Mr.. But
Ter said. adding:
| Mr.. Hall may be able to sat-
isfy his own conscience and that
Of the Vice President by making
the technical point that Mr..
Nixon did not actually utter the
words, Mr.. Truman is a traitor, ;
or the words, The Democratic
Party is the party of treason,
but such a technical defense can
never cleanse Mr.. Nixon Of the
moral guilt of deliberately trying
to plant just that impression in
the minds Of hundreds of thou
sands Of Americans who heard
Mr.. Nixon in 1854"
Denies Traitor Label
Mr.. Nixon asserted in New
York last night that he never
called Mr.. Truman a traitor nor
the Democratic Party the party
Of treason.
Il have always said that there
is only one party of treason In
the United States, and that is
the Communist Party" he as
serted.
In all my public speeches and
private talks I have always said
that the loyalty OF Truman,
Stevenson and all leaders of the
Democratic Party should not be
Iquestioned-only their judgment
The Alger Hiss case speaks for
itself. Mr.. Truman called it a
red herring"

Senator Knowland, the Senate
Republican leader, declined pub
Ilic comment. but there were
strong indications he will shortly
invite support of his conditional
candidacy. He has said he will
back Mr.. Eisenhower If the Pres
Iident runs, but had made it
clear he'll seek the nomination
III Mr.. Eisenhower doesn't.
Previously. Senator Knowland
had fixed tomorrow as the date
by which he felt Mr.. Eisen-
hower's announcement ought to
be forthcoming. It evidently will
mot be. Mr.. Eisenhower gets a
new medical report today and
leaves tomorrow for a Georgia
vacation.
May Be Thursday
Senator Knowland's expected
announcement may be timed
Thursday to follow the entry
of his name in the March 20
Minnesota primary and it may
indicate an intention to file in
other primaries.
Thus far Senator Knowland
has not given his consent to any
filings where approval of the
candidate is required. He raised
no objection to the entry of his
name in Illinois and Alaska. He
