P).-The South Carolina In
dependents today Endorsed Rep
resentative John Bell Williams,
Democrat of Mississippi, as a
vice presidential candidate.
The move followed by less
than day an expression of
approval from the Mississippi
Independent group of South
Cardinals attempts to draft
Senator Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
Iginia, as a presidential candi-
date.
Chairman Farley Smith said
Mr.. Williams outstanding
record for the past decade in
national affairs thoroughly
qualities him for the Office of
vice president"
Yesterday w. B. Fontaine,
president and chairman of the
MlsSlSSlpplans for States Rights
and Presidential Electors,
signed a message sent to the
South Carolina Independents
endorsing Senator Byrd for the
Presidency.
The Mississippi Independents
say they are Fundamentally in
accord" with their South Caro-
lima counterparts.
The Mississippi Independents,
like the South Carolinians, say
they will continue to back
Senator Byrd despite the fact
that the Virginia Senator has
said he is not a candidate.

They were about the only men,

ly as Mr.. Stevenson declared:
None of us objects to the
partisanship of politics. But du-
plicity and hypocrisy to the ex-

Delight to Democrats
The meeting of farm leaders
cheered each sally against the
administration. Every mention
of Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son and Vice President Nixon
was greeted with loud boos-in
short, it was exactly the kind of
audience to warm a Democratic
candidates heart at this stage
of the campaign.
The attack covered a broad
front. Among other things, Mr..
Benson was charged with misuse
of tax money to promote the dis
tribution of his new book, Farm
erS at the Crossroads" A more
appropriate title, Mr.. Stevenson
suggested, would be Farmers at
the Double Crossroads"
The candidate asserted that

Hogerty Attacks Column
On Presidents Health

had announced earlier this week
the President would not hold a
news conference because of his
heavy schedule. He said a presi-
Dental speech to a U. N. group
in New York today had been con-
sidered, but was not scheduled
because Mr.. Eisenhower felt it
necessary to attend a National
Security Council meeting in the
White House today in view of de-
veloping unrest in Eastern Eu-
ropean satellite nations.
If the President did not ride
in a mOtorcade yesterday, Mr..
Hagerty said, II don't know what
we were doing" Newsmen saw
Mr.. Eisenhower standing in his
bubble top" limousine and Wav-
ing to crowds estimated by po-
lice at $4,000 on his way from
Penn Station to the Commodore
Hotel in New York early yester-
day afternoon. Another motor
cade took the President through
more street crowds to Madison
Square Garden for a major cam
paign speech last night, and
afterward to LaGuardia Field,
from where he few back to
Washington.
Mr.. Hagerty also branded as
"falsehood" a statement in
the Pearson column that the al
legged mild relapse" suffered by
the President last week was one
of the reasons for Mr.. Essen
hover going into Walter Reed
Hospital this week end for a
"head-to-toe" physical examina-
ton.
Announced Months Ago
Mr.. Hagerty recalled it had
been announced months ago
that the President would have
"a complete checkup in October.
so the results could be made
public before the election. The
report on the weekend examina-
ton is scheduled to be released
late Sunday.
Asked about other recent ra-
ports that Mr.. Eisenhower had
suffered a gastric upset. Mr..
Hagerty said the reply was a
categorical no." He told ques-
TONERS that Mr.. Eisenhower had
been informed of the Pearson
column, but not in detail.
Asked what was his comment,
Mr.. Hagerty said: "He didn't
have any Just told him I'd
take care of it,"

ocratic farm programs" and at
tackled 1.-The synthetic farmers
behind Washington desks"
More Agriculture Workers
We'll, like it or not, it takes
good. devoted public servants
with pencils to help make a farm
program work." Mr.. Stevenson
said. When the President at
tacks these men he attacks the
whole idea of a farm program. "
In any case, the candidate said,
lit now takes 6,400 more men to
run the ineffective Republican
Department of Agriculture than
it used to take to run the effec-
tive Democratic programs"
The third lesson of the CAM
paign, said Mr.. Stevenson, was
that lin spite of the Presidents
virtuouS disclaimers, the Repub-
licans are still playing election
year politics for all its worth"
IF the President is against
playing politics" Mr.. Stevenson
went on, Il ask him what he was
doing four years ago, at Kasson
Mimi.
Blasts Eisenhower
/ And I ask him what he was
doing last spring when after
Ivetoing the Democratic farm bill
he then raised support prices
What was he doing when he said
firm price supports at 80 per cent
of parity were uneconomic and
immoral and would enslave the
farmer and then promptly raised
supports on basic crops this yeal
to Sc per cent of parity in order
to win votes? Does the Presi-
dent think that the difference be-
tween immortality and morality
slavery and freedom, is only
per cent? And 1 would like to
know if he intends to reduce
these supports, as he can, right
after the election"
Mr.. Stevenson then turned his
fire on the administrations soil
bank program as a frantic ef-
fort to get the checks to the
farmers on any terms before the
election"
What is being done is not
designed to conserve SOIL" the
candidate declared. Its de-
signed to conserve Republicans

Finally, Mr.. Stevenson lit into

went on, lis that the money they

to use tax money to support the
IfarmerS-but he's perfectly will
ing to use tax money to support
his own book"
The campaign, said Mr.. Ste
Ivenson, had revealed four things
about the administrations farm
policy.
First: that there is no con-
nection between what a Repub-
lican candidate says in a cleo
ton year campaign about the
farm issue and what he does
obaut it if he gets elected The

Ito see" he declared. THE Eisen-
hover record on broken promises
to the farmer is a record OF
callouS political perfidy. And the
farmers know it.
ITO get votes that way is bad
enough. To then say, as the
President did at Seattle that the
farmer is no longer to be
insulted as a commodity fol-
which our parties make COMPETE
tive bids in the political market
place is to compound deceit with
self-righteous hypocrisy"
Second: The campaign had
shown that the Republicans are
in favor of doing just as little

possibly can" The President

to postpone the study until the

He said he had been informed

No Hope for Savings
He stressed that although a
large expansion in parole and
probation programs might con-
siderably reduce the populations
of the jail and prisons, it would
offer no hope of saving money in
operational costs.
This, Mr.. Karrick said, was be-
cause savings made in prison
operation would have to be used
to hire many more parole and
probation officers. 1t has been
suggested that the present pro-
baton and parole stats might
have to be increased nearly 20
times to reduce case loads from
80 per worker to Is or 20.

Mr.. Eisenhower applied the
"double-talk" label to Mr.. Stew
ienson'S discussion of world af-
fairs, particularly as concerns
the Democratic candidates pro-
posals regarding stopping H.

"They urge a vigorous and

our relations with the Soviet
Union, by trusting our national
safety to agreements that have
no effective safeguards and no
controls.
They urge a bold American
defense of freedom--and they
urge us to try achieving this by
starting to plan an end to our
military draft"
UphOlds Common Sense
The President said his re-
Spouse to such propositions is
that: "There is no political CAM
.paign that justif1es the declara-
ton of a moratorium on COM
mon sense"
He asserted solemnly that:

and that I'VE need no less the

which must be proven to be

But he also emphasized an

Encourages Satellite People
Aside from hitting back at
Stevenson campaign talk in
much the same vein as he did
in several speeches on the West
Coast last week, Mr.. Eisenhower
held out hope of all American
aid within our peaceful power"
to Hungarians and Poles rebel
ling against Soviet domination
He cited the current unrest
behind the Iron Curtain as part
of the evidence that I'VE have
made some historic strides for
ward" during his administration
toward "a world of greater hope
for peace" and "an America of
greater justice and dignity"
In contrast to four years ago
when I'VE tensely awaited the
sharp and sudden thrust of some
new Communist military attack"
the President said that now:
I'VE hear, instead, from the
peoples of Eastern Europe, the
solemn word-the solemn proof
that men who have once known
the blessings of freedom will lay
down their lives in its name.
1.-THE people of Poland and Of
Hungary-indeed, of all East
ern Europe-are men and women
