rally in the same hall where he
spoke four years ago tonight.
That speech was the first Mr..
Nixon had made after his Los
Angeles broadcast regarding his
personal finances and his flight
to Wheeling. w. Va, to receive
Mr.. Eisenhower's personal as
surance that he would remain
on the Republican ticket.
But there was a difference.
Last night, Mr.. Nixon drew mild
applause from an audience which
seemed to sense that he was un-
well; four years ago a foot
stomping, yelling crowd of 5000
heard him.
There also was disappointing
gathering on hand to greet him
in Phoenix. These and his other
findings thus far served to con-
vince Mr.. Nixon. as he swung
eastward, that the Republicans
must step up their drive with full
exploitation Of all issues, includ-
ing civil rights, at the party's
command.
Hits Harder at Stevenson
Mr.. Nixon was keying UP his
own campaigning. In the days
campaigning before he became
III he swung harder than he has
In the past at Adlai Stevenson,
and talked some cold turkey to
the Republican workers to spur
their efforts.
He also was nursing the in
tention Of taking full advantage
Of the civil rights issue when
his campaign trip reaches the
populous Midwestern and East
ern areas.
At Salt Lake City, Mr.. Nixon
announced that he planned to
talk later on in the campaign
about civil rights. defended the
administrations support Of inte-
grafton. and predicted the issue
will not detract votes from the
Republican SIDE" He did not
reveal specifically when or where
he would speak on the subject.
In discussions with associates
and others, Mr.. Nixon has made
it clear that he considers the
civil rights issue as a legitimate
campaign weapon-as one the
Republicans should not hesitate
to use in those metropolitan CEN
tiers where it would do the most
good.
The Vice President is aware,
Of course. that any use of such
an explosive issue is fraught with
some peril in the present state of
tension in the Southern and
border States over the Supreme
Courts school decision. Appar-
emily, what he hopes to do is to
take advantage in some fashion
Of the administrations stand on
civil rights without stirring up
more unrest.
Stresses 4-Day Week
AS he continued his campaign
ing, Mr.. Nixon described as "in-
evitable" the four-day week
wrich he enyisioned in his speech
in Colorado Springs. Colo But
he refused to fix a date for its
coming beyond his original pre-
diction that it would be in the
mot distant future"
Apparently aware Of criticism
his prediction has stirred UP. Mr..
Nixon said the four-day week
was only a projection Of what
can be done If the Government
doesn't tie the hands Of indus
try"
He also was quick to disavow
CIO Leader Walter Reuther's
suggestion that the Vice Presi-
dent had committed the Repub-
hcan Party to a four-day week. /"
Mr.. Reuther. the Vice President
said. had fallen into the same
error that former President
Truman and MIR. Stevenson fall
into so often. He said they as
sumo the Government must
bring about the four-day week.
Seen as Inevitable
Instead, Mr.. Nixon said in
neatly sidestepping the Reuther
snare. it will be management and
labor. encouraged by the Gov
eminent, that viii bring it about
"as inventive genius makes it
possible.
Il can't say whether the four
day week viii come in one. five
or ten years Mr.. Nixon said in
simplifying on his earlier pre-
diction. but it will come ineyita-
bis in our time and l say cate
gorically that it Is inevitable"
At Salt Lake City last night
M. Nixon launched one Of the
sharpest attacks he has mace
thus far In the campaign on
the Democratic nominee. He
