Kicking me Upstairs

Your knocking me is boosting me
You're kicking me upstairs
But this you do not seem to see
It's helping my affairs.
You see I'm like a rubber ball
Each knock sends me up higher;
No knock will ever make me fall

that date, but the President can
take longer to decide whether
the United States should re-
sumo it.
Aid Left to Eisenhower
Congress voted to leave con-
tinuation of Yugoslav aid to
President Eisenhower, after Pres
ident Tito gave indications he
might be returning to the Mos
COW Communist fold.
Mr.. Dulles said President Tito's
talks with Soviet leaders provide
evidence confirming the view ne
has held for some time that the
Soviet Union and the Commu-
mist Party are cropping for new
policies and that they have a
serious problem on their hands.
Prospects for European unity
have been improved. Mr.. Dulles
believes. as a happy by-product
of the Suez situation. The Sec
rotary noted that both he and
President Eisenhower are strong
advocates of West European
unity.
Asked to comment on new
charges of appeasement of Die
tator Juan Peron of Argentina
during the Eisenhower admins
tration made by La Presna
editor Gainza Paz, Mr.. Dulles
said intervening in the internal
affairs Of Argentina. as the Tru-

man administration had tried,
didn't get too far.
He claimed the Eisenhower
regime should get some credit
for the Peron downfall In the
sense that it did not intervene
but allowed natural forces to
take their course which took
him out of power.
Mr.. Dulles denied that Dictator
Peron could take the 500 mil
lion loaned to Argentina during
the Republican administration to
a European bank. 1t was used
to buy a steel mill which now
exists in Argentina, he said. The
only money he could have taken
out OF Argentina must have come
from p loan agreement with a
previous administration.
He refused to answer addi-
tional questions on United
states relations with Argentina
under Dictator Peron because he
wanted to avoid treading too
close to political ground and in
reference in the internal affairs
Of Argentina.
The Eisenhower administra =
tons attitude toward Argentina
has become an issue in the presi-
Dental election campaign since
Democratic candidate Adlai
Stevenson charged the Presi-
dents brother. DR.. Milton Eisen-
hover, facilitated loans to the
Peron regime.

I307. 900 votes for Mr.. Eisenhower
in 1852, does not feel at all like
a champion of lost causes at this
time.
The crucial question, in the
mind of the Eisenhower support
ers is how the Negro vote will
go in this election. Last time,
according to the post-mortems
more than 95 per cent of the
Negro vote went to Mr.. Steven
son, making the difference be-
tween defeat and victory.
Hope For Split
This time. with increased
Negro registrations, the Repub-
licans are counting on a much
more even split to put them over
the top. The theory is that in
the South. the Negro will vote
for his economic advantage
ahead of any other issue. And
on this score. the Eisenhower
supporters feel that the record
of the administration over the
last four years may switch SUBJ
stantial number of votes.
A theory obviously difficult to
test lis the absence of any polls
or serious polticking in this
area. But at the same time it is
one which might give Mr.. Ste
venson pause when it comes to
counting his Southern chickens
at this stage of the game.

win something of a reputation
as a rainmaker.
Late this afternoon the SEN
ator planned to make what his
aides billed as "a major speech
on atomic energy" at Los Alamos,
the Government laboratory where
the first atomic bomb was de-
veloped in World War II. He
also had a night rally at Albu-
querque on his schedule.
For his initial appearance of
the day at Roswell. Senator Ke-
fauver slammed at the Repub-
licans o n the conservation issue.
He said the G. o. P. in 1858
fell heir to a outstanding BIZ
partisan policy of making Amer
ica's natural resources "a sacred
heritage to be held in trust for
the people.
The Eisenhower government
has not adhered to that policy"
he asserted. 1T has not been
true to that responsibility. We
have been witness in the past
three and one-half years to a
giveaway of our natural re-
sources on a scale never before
seen"
Senator Kefauver predicted he
and Mr.. Stevenson would win,
lin large part, because people
throughout this country resent

to the hating Of large-scale nu-
clear tests by the great powers. /"
Surely" Mr.. Stevenson con-
tinued, there must be sufficient
vision to save the human race
from communicating its own air,
from filling the upper atmos-
|phere with malign elements
which may have incalculablc eff
fects on humanity"
Mr.. Stevenson arranged a visit
to Fairleigh Dickinson to view
a world arms control center set
up here to stimulate thinking
about peace.
He said the beginning of prac-
tical thought about peace sis
the complete conviction that war
lis no longer a practical means
of adjusting differences between
nations"
When men of ell will see no
chance of profit, the threat of
war has been greatly reduced, +"
Mr.. Stevenson said.
War holds no more promise
for men of i'll will than for men
of good WILL" he continued. "The
mushroom cloud is impartial,
falling on just and unjust alike. I"
Urges Strong Defense
The first necessity for peace,
he said, is a powerful national
defense" including "a strong
Strategic Air Force" a great
Navy, and ground forces capable
of meeting the complex re-
quirements of modern war"
Peace is more than an I'M
easy truce during which armed
forces peer anxiously over in
secure frontiers, as in Korea
today" he said.
This country must retain "the
ability to deter possible foes
from aggression" Mr.. Stevenson
continued, but 1--WE have talked
so much about atom bombs and
our skill in devising even more
terrible weapons that the world
has gotten the idea that all the
problems of our turbulent and
revolutionary age are to be
solved by the weight of military
force"
Drafts School Program
In a Washington statement
last night, Mr.. Stevenson called
for a f1ve-point Federal-aid pro-
gram to help provide $4,000 more
teachers and build 100000 new
classrooms yearly. This was the
second of a series of major
affirmations" which he says will
guide his course if he is elected
President.
He said it would cost the Ma

the cynical and colloused atti-
tude of the Eisenhower admin
istration toward its public trust
the conservation of our nat
ural resources, the preservation
of the public domain.
AS examples of "giveaways,"
Sen. Kefauver said the Republic
cans had disposed of timber
lands, had threatened our
scenic wilderness and our game
and fish refugees" had sought to
give private utilities "a slice of
Tennessee Valley Authority ter
ritory" through the now Cancelled
Dixon-YateS contract, and had
turned over to a private power
company the Hell'S Canyon
damSite.
In his swing through parched
central Texas farm country
yesterday on the initial day of
his second tour of the campaign,
the Senator drove through show
erS which helped alleviate the
long drought at some points.
Several times he was cheered
because his arrival conceded with
the rain, and he told his audi
ences with a grin, I'm going to
take some credit for this rain.

those answers and not be con-
tent until we get them. But we
cannot afford to reject small
gains.
"That the world has never yet
achieved a system of universal
and enforceable disarmament
surely does not prove that it
never will"
Surely, Mr.. Stevenson contin-
ued, this Government should ex-
plore disarmament proposals by
others Ito see whether they were
made in good faith and whether
they will meet our security re-
Quirements."
He said the Eisenhower adj
miniStration has even with
drawn its own proposals when
others indicated a willingness to
accept these proposals"
Calls for "ViSiOn"

the schools and hire the teachers

ulation needs.
Opposition to increased Gov
eminent spending for education
lis honest only if it includes "a
Iclean-cut decision that we do not

inee declared.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton, he said, has utterly failed
to develop a comprehensive pol
icy for education and to offer
"strong leadership in the cause
of our most valuable resourse-
our children
Hits Lack Of Results
Secretary of Welfare Folsom,
in a statement issued shortly
afterwards, said Mr.. Eisenhower
has given more vigorous ma
tional leadership to the cause of
education than any American
President"
But Mr.. Stevenson said the
administration record on educa-
ton consists of little action
and no results" and he contin-
ued:
THE failure in conception,
the failure in action, is a symp-
tom of deeper failure. 1t is a
symptom of incapacity or I'M

|of education in human terms

down and defeated by a poor

dition," Mr.. Stevenson suggested

to win.
AS a strategy, this is probably
sound enough. And yet here in
Louisiana, the solidity of Mr..
Stevenson's backing seems like a
highly unstable combination of
conflicting forces which could
change at any time. 1t could
change not only from election to
election and from year to year.
Conceivably, it could change be-
tween now and November
To begin with, MI. Stevenson
is not popular in Louisiana. His
running mate, Senator Kefauver,
is actively disliked. His only cam
paign vsiit to New Orleans was
rated here as a fiasco by friends
and enemies alike. No more than
1900 people showed up at his
reception last week and those
that stayed away included most
of the prominent Democratic
leaders of the State.
Lukewarm Support
To say that Mr.. Stevenson is
being backed by these leaders
in his run for Presidency is to
use too strong word. AT pest
their Endorsement is lukewarm.
For the most part, they see him
as an expedient who is useful
to them in attaining their own
goals. This is true of Gov. Earl
K. Long who controls the single
most potent political machine in
the State. And it is no less true
of Mr.. Longs bitterest political
opponents, including leaders OF
the segregation movement. who
seek to wrest control of the
State apparatus from the Gov
ernor's grip.
In terms of local politics, the
reasons for supporting the Dem
ocratic ticket are many and tor
tuous. But the big, overriding
reason which applied generally
Throughout the South is this:

He climaxed his Texas trip
with a farm speech last night at

Waco.
Then he said the President is
too busy trying to win an cleo

to do anything to alleviate the
troubles of those suffering from

leadership can maintain it's con-
troll of key committees in the
House and Senate. it can most
effectively block the enactment
of civil rights legislation. If it
were not for this consideration,
it is a safe bet that the South
should not as a whole be back
ing the Stevenson ticket today.
AS it is. most observers here
believe that if the election were
held today Mr.. Stevenson would
carry Louisiana by a bigger mar
gin than in 1852. when he
through with a margin
of 38.102 votes. But these same
experts add quickly that any
serious incident could shift the
balance OF power either to Presi-
dent Eisenhower or to the slate
of States Rights electors who
nave Deen named.
Big Question
Admitting, however, that the
remains in its present,
semisolid state, there is still a
question of how effective the
machine will prove when put to
the test. With the organized
Democrats at his back, can Mr..
Stevenson really count on the
popular vote which he so obvi-
|ously expects?
"Yes," say the politicians, and
point to the highly effective
machines that control most of
the State.

comes from the Americans for

mist named John Minor Wisdom.
