4 "If we build our defense toward
a maximum strength on certain
target dates, we would play into
the hands of the Communists.
Third, l will support appropria-
ton requests for increased scien-
tific research into new weapons and
techniques, especially in the field
of guided missiles.
Fourth, | will support policies
which will enable our economy to
grow and prosper.
Our strong, growing industrial
economy is the basic source of our
military strength.
'If these two aspects of our Sc
curity get out of balance, then we
have a situation of either doubtful
military strength, or of such pre-
carious economic strength that our
military situation would be in con-
stant jeopardy.
Fifth, l will support policies
which provide fexibility in plan
ming our overall defense structure
and in developing new weapons and
technology.
Sixth, / will support sound
recommendation by the Presi-
dent for reasonable economic aid
to underdeveloped areas in the free
world. This economic aid. if re-
commended, would be an important
part of our defense policy to main
| ain peace in the free world for the

Late in the week, Mr.. Haskell,
noting Adlai Stevenson's proposal
| to end the draft and our hydrogen
bomb tests, asked Harris Mcdowell
| if he agreed or disagreed.
Mr.. Haskell said, ''Is it reason
able to propose such "a thing when
we know the Soviet leaders set off
several hydrogen bomb tests in
the last month?
These are important subjects
which go to the very heart of our
national security.
"Adlai Stevenson is Mr.. Mellow
ellis candidate. and we must as
sumo, until we hear otherwise, that
my opponent believes we should
stop testing hydrogen bombs and
| that we can end the draft in the
near future.
"All of us certainly wish that
/ this might be possible but to make
these proposals in the face of con-
tinued Communist-inspired tension
in places like the Suez Canal and
| in the midst of a political cam
paign is dangerous and irrespon-
sible.
"In an election campaign, it al
ways seems attractive for political
candidates to tell the voters that
there is a simple solution to diff
cult problems.
"I wish I could say to every Del
aware Voter that we can safely re-
duce our military forces, end the
draft, and cut defense spending
drastically.
At cannot and will not say that

present situation. We must keep
our defenses strong in the face, of
