President to Answer
Stevenson on Draft
Defends Testing
OF H-Bombs as
VituI to Defense
BY GARRETT d. HoRNER

President Eisenhower today is
preparing a statement ex-
pected to voice new criticism
of Adlai Stevenson's position on
ending the military draft after
criticizing. the Democratic presi-
Dental candidates statements
on ending hydrogen bomb tests.
The statement, similar to that
issued late yesterday. is ex-
pected TO be a reply to Mr..
StevensonS contention that the
draft should be ended at the
earliest moment consistent with
national safety
1t will be released for pub
lication tomorrow, the White
House said.
In the statement made public
yesterday the President called
the testing of H-bombs IAN in
Idispensable part of our defense
program, and warned that stop
Iping such tests without foolproof
controls to assure Russia's doing
likewise could risk letting the
Soviet overtake our present
commanding lead in the field of
nuclear weapons.
Opposes Draft End
Mr. Eisenhower DrPvious1y had
made a reply to Mr.. Stevensons
statements on ending the draft.
In his first major campaign
speech September 10 the Presi-
dent said:
I'VE cannot prove wise and
strong by limiting that our mill
Itary draft might soon be sus-
Ipended-even though every FAM
lily naturally hopes for the day
when it might be possible. This
cannot be done under world
conditions of today"
Mr.. Eisenhower said in yeSter-
days statement he regretted that
this Governments policy in re-
gard to testing nuclear weapons
has been made an issue in the
current political campaign by
zone individual.
Answer to Stevenson
He did not mention MIR. Ste
venson by name, but his state
ment sought to refute specific
proposals made over the last few
months by the Democratic cam
didate.
Mr.. Stevenson suggested on
April 81 that this Government
consider stopping further H-bomb
tests, and last month urged that
the United States take the lead
in promoting curtailment of such
tests by all nations.
1.-The manner in which the is
sue has been raised can only
lead to confusion at home and
misunderstanding abroad" Mr..
Eisenhower said.
He emphasized that develop
ment of atomic and hydrogen
weapons by this country has
been a major deterrent to Com
munist aggression. Details about
the testing and development of
new weapons, he said, obviously
cannot be discussed publicly for
security reasons.
Cites Disarmament Efforts
He pointed out that this Gov
lernment has consistently worked
for a general disarmament pro-
gram that would restrict and
control both the testing and the
use of nuclear weapons under
specific and supervised interna-
tional disarmament agreement.
Saying he must "solemnly dis

he lost control, striking the rear

The front end of the truck
penetrated a foot and a half

Meanwhile, George A. Knott,
assistant chief of District con-
struction. refused police permits
sion to move the truck until the
building was properly shored.
1t was moved three hours
later after the Snoring job had
been completed.
Mr.. Shinglar was booked at
the traffic division for driving a
vehicle with faulty brakes.
