his assault on the Vice President.
In this sornbre camp, the
prevailing opinion seems to be
not that the attack was too little,
but that it was too late.
Reaction Battling
The reaction of some members
of his audience, polled later,
was battling. too.
"a fighting speech" one union
man called it. 1T was hard to
believe it was Stevenson"
They didn't get it at FIRST
said another. 'but it was fine
They were just attentive
said a third.
Mr.. Stevenson, in short, didn't
bring the house down. The
simplest explanation is that he
didn't want to.
In his Flint speech, Mr.. Ste
venson dismissed Mr.. Dewey with
the observation that "discour.
tesy, epithet and abuse from him
are no surprise"
Prefaces Onslaught
Mr.. Stevenson prefaced his
onslaught against Mr.. Nixon
with the observation that any
President might be prevented
by higher will from serving his
full term" Then he tore into
the Vice President.
Mr.. Stevenson said the Nixon's
political trademark is SANDER
He depicted the Vice President
as a man Of many masks. =
added:
who can say they have seen
his real face?"
He said that, spotlighted
against the moral leadership
required of a President, Mr.
Nixons record was profoundly
disturbing"
He accused Mr.. Nixon of up
setting American relations with
India. He said the Vice Presi-
dent had been rash and mex
perienced" in saying two years
ago that the United States
might have to send troops into
Indo-C China. In that connection
he said:
1--WE cannot have in high
places men who talk out of both
sides of their mouth, who talk
loosely and irresponsibly in for.
eign countries. men who tall
too much when they would d.
better to keep their mouths shu
and their eyes and ears open.

Action Pledged
On Prisoners

INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 10 R--
President Eisenhower told the
American Legion today that the
Government will exert itself"
with "unremitting resolu-
ton" to get Communist China
to release imprisoned Americans.
Ten are still being held on the
Chinese mainland, he said.
In reply to queries sent to all
presidential candidates last Sat-
urday by Dan Daniel, national
commander of the Legion, Mr..
Eisenhower wires from Seattle:
1.-THE United States Govern
ment will continue to exert itself
for the liberation Of those
Americans still held by the Com
lmunists and to obtain a salts
factory accounting for those
missing.
Achieved Much"
1--WE have already achieved
much and have assurances re-
garding the remainder, which
may still be redeemed If we are
Iunremitting in our resolution. ss
we shall be-"
Legion headquarters said no
reply has been received from
Adlai Stevenson, Democratic
nominee.
The Legion announced yester-
day a reply it received from T.
Coleman Andrews. presidential
candidate of the States Rights
Tax Reform Party.
Mr.. Andrews said he would
stop all trade with a country
holding Americans and would re-
fuse aid to any nation which re-
fused to cooperate in such q
humanitarian effort"
Presses For Action
Mr.. Eisenhower said the Gov
eminent is still concerned about
"a group of several hundred
missing military personnel.
feared dead, of whose exact fate
we have reason to believe the
the Communists should have
knowledge"
1--WE have never ceased to press
the Communists, through both
military and diplomatic chan
nels. for an accounting Of these
men," the Presidents message
said.
He added that his administra-
ton used moral and diplomatic
pressures" to try to win release
of American civilians ''unjustly
held in Communist China since
the latter part of 1949."

Mr.. Stevenson, having made the
decision to attack Mr.. Nixon,
should have approached the task
with such obvious reluctance.
While he responds to crowds.
he does so warily, being of the
opinion that cheers go to the
head like strong waters.
Success With Youth
And Mr.. Stevenson, although
his rival is said to be the Ma
tons Great Father image, is a
paternal man, who does not care
to set a bad example. He has
enormous success with young
people. Those who have Travelled
with him from the first say that
his finest hour came at Yale
when he quelled a jeering, milling
mob Of students.
In Sunbury, Pa, a Republican
fortress, he disarmed some
youthful bearers Of Ike signs so
completely, that they laid their
banners at his feet and followed
him to the edge of town to give
him their Ike pins. He is moth
ing less than sensational with
children. Yet he feels that his
mission is not to beguile or
arouse masses Of people but to
educate them.
His concept of the office he
seeks is so exalted that he has
publicly questioned the propriety
Of his criticism of the present
occupant Of the White House
And he has asked himself on a
platform if man might not run
SO hard for an Office as to dis
qualify himself for it.
MAN on His Back"
Mr.. Stevenson, in fact, seems
to have man on his back, this
is the man who makes Mr.. Ste
venson uneasy when he rides
on the back of an open car. The
man on his back keeps him in
a hotel room writing speeches
when he might be out winning
people by the warmth of his
smile and the vividness of his
attention.
The man on his back keeps
him busy polishing up "affirma-
tions" instead of meeting the
press which SO seldom sees him
on this campaign, forbids him
cliches or easy answers.

college editors, mostly from the

Kissing was heard at the end.

Newsmen Stranded
The Vice Presidents Wednes-
day ended early this morning
with a furry of apprehension for
Inewsmen accompanying him.
They had left Ithaca by planS
intending a routine fight to
Providence, but that city's air.
port was closed by stormy
weather. After circling the
city, the plane headed for Bos-
ton. There, after long circling,
the pilot made one pass at the
field in an attempt to land be-
fore giving up and going inland
to Worcester. From that city
the party rode by bus back to
Providence, arriving in time to
get a couple of hours sleep be-
fore starting today's trip.
A lively controversy centered
on Ithaca following first word
on the unusual press conference.
Local Democrats complained
to Gov. Averell Hartman, call
ing it a slick Republican ad-
vertising stunt" adding that
Cornell, partly supported by
State funds, had been dumped"
Gov. Harriman's subsequent let
ter to the university has not
been made public
The Harvard Crimson chimeo
in with biting criticism of the
affair.
Cornells president, Deane
iMalott, apparently in something
of a sweat over the whole issue,
toyed with calling the whole
thing off. Finally he met the
issue by offering Democratic
Chairman Paul M. Butler 1.-The
hospitality of the campus" dur
ing the campaign. No answer
has been received from the
Democrats.
University spokesman made
clear that Cornell was simply
serving as host to the visiting
editors in line with policy to
bring great national issues" to
the campus.
Editors of "a college papers
were invited-24 either did not
reply or declined the invitation
Notably absent were editors from
Southern and Southwestern col
Ileges. The South was repre-
scented only by the University OF
North Carolina and Hampton
Institute, a Negro college in Vir-
lginia.
Preceding the telecast. a Re-
publican caravan, blaring an Eli
Isenhower campaign song, toured
the campus drumming up in
tereSt.
AS an aside to the controversy
the editor of the Cornell Daily
Sun, an independent paper, said
the publication will come out
Monday for Mr.. Stevenson and a
Democratic Congress.
Mr.. Nixon flew to Ithaca from
Buffalo with a stopover in Roch-
ester where he was greeted by
some adults and a large number
Iof children bearing placards,
One little boy had sign read
ing. II like Santa with Bonner
and Bitten; we all like Ike with

The Vice President urged a
crowd of 5000 in Rochester's Me-
mortal Auditorium to help elect
"a Republican Congress in order
to enact President Eisenhower's
civil rights program.

program was blocked in the DEM

After you have found
the amount of your aver

First To Befriend Him

1t is the understanding
Of this writer that George
Westinghouse paid one mil
lion dollars for Tesla's
patents.
There is a more detailed
account of this in the late
John J. O'Neill's book on
the life of Tesla, "The Pro-
digal Genius" a book
which every American of
Croat, Serb or Slovene de-
scent should read. Mr.. o.
Neill was the Science Edi-
tor Of the New York Her
aid Tribune" and an out
standing personality in his
field.
1t is my sincere belief
that MIR. Westinghouse
(1846-1914) and DIR. Te-
sla were staunch friends
to the end of their lives.
| base this belief on the
fact that Mr.. Westinghouse
was the first man who ac-
tually aided Tesla.
One need only to recall
the treatment of Tesla by
the French Comp. abroad
and the Edison Company
at home to understand the
true friendship between
Mr.. Westinghouse and the
man who was born in Smil-
jan, Lika, on July 10, 1856.
81 Patents On Phase
The system IN u t i
phase or "Polyphase," the
original discovery and in
vention Of DR.. Tesla, con-
sists of no less than 81
patents.
These are described, il
lustrated and recorded in
a book, "A Compliment" "
published by the Westing-
house Electric Corporation
as a tribute to Tesla.
In this book appears
the warning Ito those
contemplating the use of
such apparatus to direct
their attention to a Sc
lection of MIR. Tesla's pa
tents presented ere

In spite of this fair
warning, infringement on
these patents were made -
