Gov. Chandler professed not
Ito feel at all out of place among
Republican candidates greeting
the President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover at the airport. He said
he was there as Governor to
welcome an old friend. And, he
said, II can't help it If I'm a
Democrat any more than he can
that he's a Republican" Mr.. Ell
senhower told him cordially that
"it was awfully good of you to
come out"
Asked what he thought of the
Presidents chances to win Ken

that likes got a lot Of friends
in Kentucky and will get a lot

Senhower" supporters.
Every seat in the coliseum was
filed and several score were
standing over half an hour be-

A prolonged and rouSing cheer
erupted from the big auditorium
when the President, with Mrs.
Eisenhower walking beside him
carrying a bouquet of red roses,

when the President told of
progress in eliminating racial

Federal responsibility, such as
the District of Columbia.
Blaming Democrats for defeat
of a five-year Federal aid pro-
gram for school construction in
the last Congress, the President
said he would call on the next
Congress to enact legislation to
Iget the schools we need" in four
years.
He hit especially hard at Mr..
Stevenson, without naming him
directly on the school issue. I'VE
see the strange spectacle" he
said, "of an apparently confused
candidate of the opposition sup
porting the principles Of the bill
that we proposed-and that his
party defeated"
Pledges Wage-Tax Action
Among the specific issues, the
President said he would urge
Congress again to extend the
minimum wage law to protect
many more workers, and call for
special tax measures" to help
small business. He did not spell
out details of these or other
more general lower tax cut hopes
he offered.

candidates in the State where
he speaks, Mr.. Eisenhower
urged Kentuckians to send John
Sherman Cooper and ThruS-

Mr.. Cooper, a former Senator
and more lately Ambassador to
India, is running against former

Morton, who have proved them
selves not merely by what they
have said. but what they have
done"
