The Vice President said Mr..
in a magazine article that once
free countries behind the Iron
Curtain should be written off, as
what Mr.. Nixon called "a fact
we must recognize and about
which we can do nothing"
He made the charge in Mil
waukee yesterday and identified
Mr.. KEENAN, as the one he was
referring to in a press conference
in Hartford, Conn, today.
The Vice President said the
Kennan group Yields no infiu-
ence with Secretary of State Dull
les and it's views will never pre-
vail as long as President Eisen-
hover remains in the White
House.
Cites Stevenson View
He said Adlai Stevenson, the
Democratic Presidential nomi-
nee, had indicated he does not
favor the KEENAN, policy. But he
added: Il think you had better
ask him. 1 don't want to put
words in his mouth"
In the Hartford News confer
ence before Mr.. Nixon addressed
a Connecticut rally and then took
off for Manchester, N. H., he also
said:
1. The Republicans are run
ming confident and not scared
but are mot taking anything for
granted"
2. He believes Florida, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Connecticut
States touched on his tour in
the last two days-will remain in
the Eisenhower column in No
vernber.
3. He agrees with Mr.. Eisen-
hower's foreign and domestic
policies and always has been an
Eisenhower supporter.
A crowd estimated by police
at 5000 turned out to hear the
Vice President in Hartford, in
Connecticut's strongly Democra-
tic 1st district. The first is the
home district of Representative
Thomas j. Dodd. who is oppos-
ing Republican Senator Prescott
Bush.
Mr.. Nixon emphasized the Re-
publican prosperity theme and
said the voters will never trade
IAN Eisenhower dollar for a 60
cent Truman dollar"
Mr.. Nixon's charge with ref
erence to writing off the coun-
tries behind the Iron Curtain
was made in a hard hitting day
of campaigning yesterday remi-
niscent of his free-swinging 1852
mood.
He charged that Mr.. Steven
son. former President Harry
Truman and unnamed others in
the Democratic fold had de
serted their party" and the prin-
ciples for which it stands.
Campaign of Distortion"
For a good and full measure Of
political shrapnel, Mr.. Nixon
also charged that the Demo-
Gratis who are candidates. as he
put it, have apparently decided
they have no issues" and are now
"waging a campaign consisting
almost exclusively of misrepre-
sentation and distortion"
Were not going to cry about
it," Mr.. Nixon promised. "We're
simply going to set the record
straight"
The Vice Presidents slashing
attack came in Milwaukee, in the
home State OF Senator Joseph r.
Mccarthy, the well-known cIfsc
Of the State Department.
