Income Tex Attack
Renewed by Andrews

CLEVELAND. Oct. 80 tH9.--
The former commissioner of
internal revenue, T. Coleman
Andrews. renewed last night
his attack on the income tax,
which he called "the root of all
evil"
Although he is the presiden-

One of the farmers, Charles

know from the demonstration
today and on election day there
is a farm revolt"
Mr.. Benson spoke on the public
square where a shock of corn
10 feet high had been erected
for a festival last week. He
looked at the big shock, taller
than any building in town, and
said he could see that corn grows
taller in Indiana than In Iowa
or Illinois.

halt H-bomb tests.
Some newspaper headlines, he
said, indicate that Mr.. Steven
son wants to cut down on the
Nations defense when he made
mo such proposal.
Certain newspapers have not
given a correct Interpretation of
Mr.. Stevenson's position, he
added, without naming any spe-
cif1c newspapers. He said the
White House has distorted the
Stevenson proposal.
Mr.. Stevenson's position on
the draft, Mr.. Butler said, also
has been "misrepresented" by
many newspapers. He said Mr..
Stevenson has not advocated
that the draft be halted forth
with but has urged that other
means be sought to provide the
necessary military manpower.

Mr.. Andrews proposed that
the income tax be replaced grad

could save SIS billion a year

back to free enterprise" And he
declared that untold" sums
could be collected If taxes were

Stevenson also has expressed
concern over American prestige

for the voters to repudiate the
recognized leader Of the free

through with a scheduled speech
at nearby Occidental College.
But his speech, which dealt
mainly with the Polish and Hun
garian revolts against Russian
domination, contained no refer
ence to Israeli's action in moving
It's armed forces into Egypt.
Members of Mr.. Nixon's staff
said the new explosion in the
long smoldering relations be-
tween Israel and the Arab states
would bring no change in his
schedule for the remaining few
days of the campaign.
May Affect Election
But there was speculation
among political observers here
as to how 1t might affect the
election, and whether 1t would
bring any change in that part
of Mr.. Nixon's set campaign
speech which has dealt with the
success of the Eisenhower adj
ministration in establishing and
maintaining peace.
1t had been announced early
yesterday evening that the Vice
President would release advance
excerpts on the first speech he
will deliver today at Arcadia
County Park. But later came
word that there would be no
advance on today'S talk.
This. was taken as an indica-
ton that Republican leaders are
proceeding cautiously in these
early hours following the dis
turbing news Of the Israeli move
into Egypt.
Mr.. Nixon told an overflow
audience in the assembly hall
at Occidental College that IAN
overwhelming vote of confidence
for President Eisenhower will
have dramatic effect all over
the world in encouraging those
who share our desire to builC
q world in which men can b
free, nations can be independent
and people can live together jr
peace and friendship"
But the main theme Of hi
speech preceding this Statement
related to the Russian satellit,
countries.
Dilemma for Kremlin
Mr.. Nixon said the uprising
in Poland and Hungary present
to the men in the Kremlin g,
terrible dilemma. He predicted
that whichever way they turn
they will lose.
IF they give independence t,
Poland and freedom to Hungari
ans they may set in motion
chain reaction which will rol
back the Iron Curtain he con
tinued.
IF on the other hand, they
revert to the Stain policy o.
ruthlessly destroying those WHIT
dare to deviate, they may wir
the battle for control Of theil
satellites. but they will lose thu
war for world domination which
is their objective"
He said this would be true be
cause the world struggle will b
won or lost, not on the battle
field, but in the minds and heart
of the 900 million people whit
live in the so-called neutral ma
tions which hold the balance o
power in the world today,

allaying these rising tensions"
Significantly, Mr.. Stevens action
came almost at the same time with
the release Of interviews with
Southern newspaper editors by the
magazine u. S. News and World
Report, with the editors being all
but unanimous in feeling that re-
lations between the races in the
south have become worse since the
segregation decisions, and fearing
violence or bloodshed might come
should race tension in the south
continue to mount.
The editors whose interviews
were published, including two Ne
groes, were Buford Boone, Tusca-
lcosa, Ala, News; Grover c. Hall,
Jr., Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser;

There were many signs during
the past few days to justify both
the concern of Mr.. Stevenson and
the opinions of southern newspaper
editors.

spotlight has been focused during
the past few days, the Authorize

where its first Negro student, Miss

still a matter of the gravest con-
