has been as anxious as Steven
son-and even more SOTO
bring this race of deadly weap-
ons to an end. He has con-
sistently urged upon the Rus
slams plans for disarmament,
only to have his proposals re-
jected. Stevenson has been at
pains to tell the voters that the
idea of stopping nuclear weap-
on tests originated with him.
OF course, any limitation of
ornaments. or disarmament,
must start with such weapons.
1t would be idle to discuss
limiting other arms. while
going right ahead with the
H-bomb and the development
of missiles to carry the bombs
to their distant targets.

fere with the course of the
coming MISUNDERSTANDING
himself and his comments,
seemingly on the side of Ste
venson because of the latter'S
bomb test elimination ideas
is not relished by American
voters. Stevenson fastened to
agree with the President that
Bulganin had spoken out Of
turn. But Stevenson is con-
tlnuing. apparently, to push his
pet bomb test issue.
Out in the country, the reac-
ton has been bad. No one be-
lieves that Eisenhower does not
want peace and disarmament
and an end to the bomb tests.
although to listen to Stevenson
and his party ll-binders
they believe just that.
A NebulOus Promise
In a measure, Stevenson is
promising the people he will
do something to end the bomb
tests. 1t remains a nebulous
something. Most of the voters
apparently are not willing TO
gamble for a President who
does not know what he will
do in a matter so vital to the
safety of the Nation. They
want to know, however.
At present and so far, all he
has suggested is that he will
talk to the Russians. Well,
Eisenhower has been talking
to them for more than three
and-a-half years. Stevenson's
party was in command during
the tremendous development
Of Russian Soviet power. 1t is
not on record it was wholly
successful in it's dealings with
that power.
Stevenson has managed to
get himself in a jam on this
bomb test issue, and he would
better serve his cause If he
discussed other subjects from
now until election day. There
are many of his followers who
would be glad to let the issue
rest.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Stevenson Tangled in H-Bomb Web
By GOULD LINCOLN

MIAMI. Fla.-Adlai Steven
sons nuclear bomb test issue,
raised against President Eisen-
hover, has taken a new twist,
disturbing for Stevenson. He
has won for himself an ally.
Nikolai A. Bulganin, Russian
Soviet Premier. Bulganin has
agreed with Stevenson that
bomb tests can properly be
eliminated now, without at the
same time providing for a firm
system of inspection of pro-
duction, covering both Russia
and the United States.
President Eisenhower has
consistently insisted in his con-
versations with the Russians
that inspection was a sine qua
non for any agreement on nu-
clear weapons and all other
proposals for disarmament.
Stevenson, advancing his "is-
sue +" has suggested that, since
nuclear explosions can be de-
tected, whether they take place
in Russian territory or in that
of the United States, inspec-
ton is not really material. His
argument has been that we
will know if Russia attempts
any funny business.
What Would Stevenson Do?
Bulganin. it appears from
the extraordinary letter he
sent to President Eisenhower.
has jumped at this proposal of
Stevenson. Even if he is I'M
able to bring about the end
he desires-an agreement on
arms reduction or elimination
without Observation-Disclosures
has graSped this opportunity
to show to the world a divided
America. A wonderful oppor-
tunity for Russian propa-
ganda.
What concerns the Ameri-
can people these few days be-
fore they go to the polls to
decide whether Eisenhower is
to be retained as President or
Stevenson is to be put in his
place is this vital question: If
Stevenson becomes President
and Commander in Chief, will
he agree with Bulganin to drop
all nuclear weapon tests i'm
mediately, without a rigid in
spection system involving both
countries?
If Stevenson is willing to
make such an agreement, he
should say so, and the Ameri-
can people can then express
themselves clearly. If Steven
son answers the question in
the negative. then he places
himself on all fours with the
position of President Essen
hover. This major issue"
raised by Stevenson, will cease
to nave any real meaning.

ulation. There are other categories in
which prison sentences, in the experience
of penal experts, accomplish more harm
than good and represent an increasing
cost to the community.
Before spending more millions for
more prisons, we should, at least, like to
see some responsible search made for
attainable alternatives

Can't Take Stevenson

When Mr. Stevenson charged
that the Eisenhower adminis-
tration gave the Peron gov
eminent something like 500
million in (fnortgaged) Amer
lean money, he was either
very ignorant or very dishon-
est. If he were honest, he
would have apologized to the
American people for his error.
and would have admitted that
it was the Truman admins
tration which gave the said
$100 million of American
money to the Peron govern
ment. But he has not done so.
Nor has he ever found any
fault with the New Deals fan
tastic dissipation of our Amer
lean taxpayers money. Nor tor
increasing our national debt
of SIS billion in 1882, to SITS
billion by 1852.
Just how the American peo-
pie can swallow the CUFF Of
Mr.. Stevenson'S "New Amer
lea" defies definition. Mr..
Stevenson doesn't care a boot
about radioactive fallout"
either. He is trying desper-
ately to induce the American
voters to fall out with the
sanity of the Eisenhower adj
ministration. He would rather
be President than right, re-
gardless of his well-known in
capabilities. If elected. we can
be very sure that he will be
liberal with other peoples
money. And will double our
national debt to $500 billion.
