Of flve-day electioneering swing
through five key Western States
with "a electoral votes in a
Statewide television address to-
night at a G. o. P. rally in the
Civic Auditorium here.
With Mrs. Eisenhower beside
him, the President flew into Sc
attic at dusk yesterday evening
after a record-breaking recep-
ton in Minnesotas twin cities OF
st. Paul and Minneapolis by
crowds estimated at around half
q million.
Turnout Is Impressive
A comparatively few thousand
we're out on Seattle streets to
welcome the Eisenhowers as they
drove up to the Olympic Hotel
after dark for a stay through to-
day.
Assistant Police Chief JACK
Porter estimated the welcoming
turnout here at 60,000-which
seemed pretty high to newsmen.
In any event. the Seattle Post
lntelligencer said the Presi-
dents reception here completely
owarfed" that rendered a week
ago to Adlai Stevenson. Demo-
cratic presidential candidate.
The Presidents intourage still
was talking about the crowds in
st. Paul and Minneapolis. Peo-
pie lined the sidewalks in vary
ing depths practically every
block of some 80 miles he rode
in motorcades standing up in
an open car and waving.
Press Secretary James C.
Hagerty said Mr.. Eisenhower
planned to spend most of today
working in his hotel suite on the
speeches he will deliver here to-
night, in Portland, Greg. tonlor-
row night, and in Los Angeles,
Friday night.
Will Talk Tough"
In those speeches, the Presi-
dent is expected to carry forward
the tough-talking campaign style
he has adopted against his 1856
Democratic rivals without men,
tioning the name of the oppose
ton presidential candidate, Adlai
Stevenson.
. He hit in this indirect fashion
at Mr.. Stevenson on atomic and
farm issues in Minneapolis yes
terday.
There he disdainfully applied
the label of "drivel" to Mr.. Ste
venson's charges that he is
against the little farmer" and
accused "anguished" and wall
ing" politicians of trying to
raise doubts about the persist
ence of his efforts to dedicate
the atom to the constructive
service Of mankind rather than
his destruction.
Mr.. Eisenhower avoided any
direct mention of the Demo.
cratic candidates proposals fol
pushing new agreements to enc
H-bomb testing.

three hours on the ground ir
Minnesota yesterday after TAX
ing of from the Capital on hi

this State where Gov. Langlie i
rated the underdog in his battl,
for the Senate against Demo

will be trying to aid another Re
