Attorney Attacks
Eisenhower Rule

The present administration
has attempted to violate the
confidential nature of the attor-
.ney-client relationship, Attorney
Charles E. Ford told members of
the Washington chapter of the
Stevenson Kefauver Lawyers
Committee yesterday.
Mr.. Ford, chairman of the
chapter, cited the case of Attor-
Iney Kathryn M. Schwarz. He
told about rs attorneys, at a
meeting in the Ebbitt Hotel, that
the Internal Revenue Service
had ordered Attorney Schwarz
to present evidence and testify
against a client.
Judge Edward T. Tamm of the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
.trict of Columbia last August
ruled that the Internal Revenue
demands violated the sanctity of
the lawyer-client relationship.
1T was another effort OF the
administration to destroy civil
rights" Mr.. Ford declared.
Walter L. Green, national
president of the committee
urged members to write to
friends in Texas, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, soliciting
their votes for the Democratic
ticket. He said the national
Democratic organization con-
siders these the most critical
States in the forthcoming cleo
lion.

Mr.. Eisenhower tripped them

day whether he favorS the
Eisenhower proposal for disarm-

spection, or the Stevenson pro-
posals. which provide for stop
ping the tests based on simple

In his Chicago speech today
Mr.. Nixon said there is no ques-

the opposition to talk out of both
sides of their mouth on this issue

to eliminate racial discrimina-

that, "in the District of Column

nate against any Of our citizens.

listed for so long in our Nations

On H-Report,
.Fin|etter Says

NEW YORK, Oct. rs (P).-
Former Air Force Secretary
Thomas Finletter said last night
that President Eisenhower's spe-
cially prepared H-bomb state
ment had misinterpreted SCI
entific report on the dangers OF
radiation.
Mr.. Finletter, who is co-chair-
man of the New York Commit
tee for Stevenson, Kefauver and
Wagner and a top advisor to
Adlai Stevenson, appeared on
ICBS-TV'S Pick the Winner
with a copy of the June report
of the National Academy of Sci
ences.
Saying that Mr.. Eisenhower
had told the public that tests
can go on and everything will
be all right" Mr.. Finletter add
ed:
| Although the President dio
refer to one mildly optimistic
statement in this report, this
is most pessimistic report.
This report says in substance
that mankind, when he started
breaking up the atom. opened
the door into a country which
lis territory unknown. He doesn't
know what he is letting himself
lin for"
Mr.. Finletter said that there
is grave danger of bone tumor
from the present levels of test
ling" of H-bombs.
He quoted the report as say
ing that so far as the effects on
the reproductive system are con-
lcerned, e@there is no minimum
amount of radiation which must
be exceeded before mutations
occur :. the concept of a safe
rate of radiation simply does
not make sense"
The President referred to the
National Academy report in a
lengthy report he issued Tues
day, explaining his opposition to
Mr.. Stevensons proposal that
the United States seek agree
ment to halt H-bomb tests.
Mr.. Eisenhower said the June
report of the academy stated
that the radiation exposure
from all weapons tests to date
and from continuing tests at the
same rate-is, and would be,
only a small fraction of the ex-
posure that individuals receive
from natural sources and from
medical X-rays during their
lives"
Mr.. Finletter quoted the same
report as saying:
/ "A population that is exposed
generation after generation to
an INCREASED amount of radia-
ton will experience a rising
death rate and a falling BIRTH
rate because of harmful muta-
lions. If in this process the
death rate comes to exceed the
birthrate the population will
decline and eventually perish ~
