Vice President Nixon worked
here today on a television report
he will make to the Nation to-
night after winding up a 81
State air campaign by challeng-
ing Adlai Stevenson's fitness to
lead the country during the
present crisis.
by his statements in the field
of foreign policy alone" the
Vice President said, Mr.. Ste
venson has raised grave doubts
as to whether he has the judg-
Iment, the responsibility, and the
temperament to lead the United
States and the free world in this
critical time"
Mr.. Nixon accused the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate Of
uttering catastrophe nonsense
in suggesting the banning of
H-bomb tests.
/ His proposal, according to the
Vice President, was one of 1.-The
most extraordinary and appal-
ling statements in the history of
American political campaign
ing"
ROughest Attack So Far
Mr.. Nixon's attack, his rough
est thus far in the campaign,
was delivered in Philadelphia
last night as he ended a $4,000
mile campaign blitz through the
country.
The Vice President said he was
expressing his own views, but
emphasized at the same time
that they were in tune with the
a d m niStration's thinking. A
Nixon aide said President Essen
hover was mot unanxious" fol
Mr.. Nixon to express them.
Apparently the Republican
political high command attached
considerable Importance to the
attempt to debate the Stevenson
H-bomb suggestion.

White House assistant for Ma
tional security matters joined

Hits Nixon on Wages
hover took o

President Eisenhower took Of
fee"
The bulletin, without citing the
source of its reply, said the facts"
are that. since President Eisen-
hover took Office in 1853, there
have been these monthly wage
increases: $40 to 9 million farm
workers, $34 to II million fac
tory workers, S3l to IL million
wholesale and retail workers and
S23 to 100000 (MD depart
ment store employees"
The bulletin quoted a comic
book issued BY the Republican
National Committee as saying
Ike and MS administration
halted initiation" Snd said In
reply:
The cost of living has reached
an all-time peak under Presi-
dent Eisenhower, has risen Q
per cent in the last year"
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son was quoted as saying on a
television program September
&c that farm income is now
running at level of 8 per cent
ahead of a year ago."
/ To that the bulletin said, 1.-The
latest official statistics avail
able are for the second quarter
of 1856, during which farmers
realized net income is running
5000 million below the same
quarter last year, and total net
farm income. including inven-
tory adjustment, is running
5000 million below the same
quarter last year" lux

Nixon Questions Ability
|Of Stevenson to Lead

his findings on the cross country
swing.
He will give the report tonight
at $3.50 o'clock over the NBC
network. 1t will be carried here
by WRC-TV (Channel A..
In what the Republican Party
has billed as the first trans
continental press conference in
history. Mr.. Nixon will be in
Iterviewed by newsmen in eight
cities he visited on his tour.
Motion pictures taken during
the trip also will be shown.
The Vice President in his
Philadelphia windup reserved
his most scathing comments for
Mr.. Stevenson's H-bomb pro-
Iposal. He ignored Mr.. Steven
sons running mate. Senator
Estes Kefauver, one of his fire.
Iquent targets, as he went shoot
ing for bigger game.
He accused the Democratic
candidate of indulging in "shot-
gun attacks" and making state
lments terribly damaging to
American interests abroad" AS
for the H-bomb suggestion, Mr..
Nixon said:
America is an open book to
the world Russia is still sur
rounded by an Iron Curtain. The
world would know when we were
preparing for tests. 1t would not
know when the Soviets were do
ing SO. For US to agree, as Mr..
Stevenson suggests, to discon-
tinue tests before we have a
foolproof inspection syst e m
would be just like playing Rus
sian roulette but with only the
Russians knowing which cham
Der had the fatal bullet in it.
"A plan like that which does
not protect the American people
from nuclear bombing because
it lacks the essential ingredient
of inspection fits only one des-
cription-catastrophic nonsense
Other Issues Cited
The Vice President took note
that Mr.. Stevenson has beer
charging that the Presidents
policies have lowered American
prestige abroad. Turning on the
Democratic candidate the same
brand of fire, he scored Mr.. Stew
,enson not only for his H-bomt
proposal but also for suggesting
the draft might be ended anc
for incorporate attacks" on the
American economy.
When he diSagrees with {
policy" the Vice President said
Mr.. Stevenson has right anC
obligation to criticize it and thel
to point out what he would do
But when he resorts to shotgun
] attacks on the policies of Presi
dant who is a symbol of peac,
throughout the world, he hurt
America abroad and he does no
help himself at home"
Mr.. Nixon's reception in Phil
adelphia emphasized that in thi
election as in the past Pennsyl
vania may be the keystone il
determining the outcome.
Two Lines of Pickets
1t was wildly and Mostly en-
thusiastic, which demonstrates
why a presidential election is to,
strenuous an exercise to be un
dertaken more than once in fou
years. 1t was also marked o
marred, according to ones view
point, by two picket lines.
The first was thrown up il
front of the Warwick Hote
where Mr.. Nixon was supposed t
rest awhile shortly before hi
, campaign plane touched down a

the airport. 1t was a protest by
the local AFL-CIO Hotel Work
lers Union against an independent
union functionihg in the estab-
lishment. Mr.. Nixon hastily
changed his stopping place to
the Bellevue Stratford and
passed up. if he intended to
appear at all, a local G.. o. P
dinner meeting caught behind
the picket lines.
The second line was before
the Academy of Music where
Mr.. Nixon spoke to a capacity
audience Of 1000 while a police
estimated crowd of several times
that number danced and pranced
Outside. ANYONE who pushed
Through the crowd would not be
inclined to doubt the police es-
ltimate.)
This was a demonstration by
the AFL-CIO Seamens Interna-
tional Union as a frankly poll
tical protest. I'VE just don
like Nixon" explained one of
the leaders.

public at large loses heavily. No
official nor group of officials
should do other than work in the
public interest. But too often it is
the. case otherwise. Men long in
office sometimes grow to believing
they own the office. They assume,
apparently, their judgement or de-
sires should prevail; that they
should ride rough shod over the
people, spend the peoples money
where they wish, regardless of
whether it is in the public interest.
They are the people who load the
public payrolls with their poor re-
lations; who make those to whom
they owe SO much, support so
many who cannot earn living
for themselves by honest toll.
A taxpayers organization in
New Jersey has figured it out that
when the taxpayers send their
money to Washington, before it
can come back to be distributed
among the people, those who paid
the money in, get less than half
what they sent in the first place.
There are too many things to pick
it to pieces before it gets back.
The American public had hard
row to hoe. AS taxpayers they
must support an army of incidents,
who are more costly than the en-
tire armed forces. They must see
money for which they toiled, fritz
tered away in foolish schemes.
They watch it doled out to many
who never earned anything, and
they see it flung about the world
in foolish ventures that do not
buy friends, but in the long run
engender enmities to add to our
burden. In the course of the proc
ess the blood of our sons has been
poured out across the world in
agony, to nourish a false pros
perity that tends to be a breeder
of misery and plague.
