but an honest, good man. He Is
an honest, good man, a popular
man.
But the point in this cam
paign is not whether he is an
honest, good man. The question
is whether his policies are what
he promised the Am erica n
people.
1.-THE answer must be no." the
Senator declared at the Walla
Walla airport. where he was
greeted by Senator Jackson.
1.-THE other question" said the
Senator, is whether the Presi-
dents policies are in the public
interest. And the answer to that
must be no"
Shift in Attack
In this tour of the tall-timber
area, the Tennessee Senator has
been making his Republican
rival, Vice President Nixon. his
chief target. But today he shifted
the attack TO the President
haunting Mr.. Eisenhower tor re-
marks made at the Newton
Iowa, ploughing contest Friday
The President failed to discuss
farm policies in the center of a
great farming area" Mr.. Ke-
fauver complained.
1T is remarkable" said Sen
ator Kefauver, that he should
go all that way out to Iowa and
not discuss farm problems. II
would seem from this, in view OF
the poor farm program of the
Eisenhower Benson Nixon ad-
ministration, he is safe in dis
cussing farm problems only when
there are millions of airwaves
between him and the farmers.
With an irony new to him, the
Senator said he agreed with
some of Mr.. Eisenhower's Iowa
remarks. specifically the Presi-
dents statement that some of
the farmers might think my
policies are crazy"
I have talked to many farm
ers in the Midwest, who think
that his policies are crazy" the
Senator said.
25-POint Indictment
Later in the day, at Yakima,
the tireless Senator unleashed
a 25-point indictment of what
he called "the Eisenhower Nixon
Republican Old Guard Admins
tration," which he said had for
gotten not only its promises of
1852, but also "the people to
whom they made the promises.
The speech was to document
Senator Kefauver's previous
charge that President Eisen-
hover has favored special inter-
ests and that he is just as re-
sponsible as the rest for the
manner in which this Admins
tration has been working against
the interest of the little people
Of the Nation"
That was the charge which
prompted Vice President Nixon's
demand that Senator Kefauver
apologize. Senator Kefauver
had previously demanded that
Vice President Nixon apologize
TO "the innocent people whom
he has smeared" in previous
campaigns.
Both side are standing firm.
No apologies have been regis
tered so far.
Farm Failures Cited
Among the counts cited by
Senator Kefauver in his Eli
senhower versus the little :
people" blast were the following
THE Eisenhower-Benson pro-
gram has liquidated 100000
family-sized farms.
although stockholders IL
come rose "a per cent during
Gen. Eisenhower's incumbency,
the average persons take-home
pay increased only 8 per cent.
At the same time General Mo-
tors profits went up 113 per
cent"
While here. Senator Kefauver
put in a good word for Senator
Magnuson, who is standing fol-
reelection against Gov. Arthur
B. Langlie. A September II pri-
mary, in which Democrats and
Republicans all marked the same
ballot, gave Senator Magnuson q
plurality of 10000 votes.
In the course of one CT his
typical 14-hour days, the Sen
ator also continued his fight with
another cabinet member, At.
torney General Brownell. with
whom he has been exchanging
charges on the Dixon Yates con.
tract.
Noting that Republican truth
squads who are on his trail hac
indicated he might be sub.
poenaed to give testimony in the
Dixon Yates controversy Sen.
ator Kefauver suggested a trade
of subpoenaes between him anc
Presidential Assistant Sherman
Adams.
