Senator Flanders said in a
speech before an engineers and

America must prepare its de-

The weak spot in our de-
lenses lies in the present state
of education in this nation" he
said. Our children are being
trained for safe existence, in
which it is assumed that a sat-
isfactory way of life has been
achieved so that the remaining
objective is social adjustment. "

tonight that Maryland's two

He said in a statement that

Mahoney said. when Ss5 mil

rious blow to Maryland's econ

than Is million man-hours Of

yet Beall and Butler were
unable to convince the Repub-
lican administration Of the Sc
robustness Of this blow to Mary
land. They made representa-
tons to the administration only
after the decision was made.
That was much too late,
"A good businessman knows

Warm Weather Brinqs
Squirt in Crime Here

Warmer weather brought the
criminals out here last night.
A store robbery at 6 pm. was
followed in the next two hours
by an attempted purse snatch
ing and a street hold-up.
The store robbery occurred
In the S. S. Kresge Co. store
at 666 Pennsylvania avenue
Sc. after a woman bought 81
cents worth Of pink and white
ribbons and gave the clerk a
$50 bill to change.
The clerk, Mrs. Tina Splitter,
So, of 1925 Fairlawn avenue
Sc. had to go outside the
counter and into the aisle to
get the change. She was re-
turning with it in her hand
when a youth grabbed the SIG
in bills from her and ran to-
ward the door. He slipped and
fell. scrambled to his feet and
escaped.
More RaincOatS
Two other youths ran out
with him. All were described as
about II, colored and wearing
raincoatS.
The street hold-up occurred

said when he handed over the

"indecisive, vascillating and
hand-tied by the cliches of the
Republican Party"
He said this administration
is not competent to cope with
the issues Of the day.
Senator Hennings of Mis-
souri,, who presided in one of
the two banquet halls, made
his speech a personal tribute
to Mr.. Truman as a fellow
MiSSourian. He said many
States have given us more
Presidents than Missouri, but
no State has produced a better
President.

But perhaps nothing has in

added. "or struck so deep al
the jugular vein of democracy
as the abuse of the people &

and unblushing misrepresenta-

our political history. And what
makes 1t more offensive is that
it has all been conducted in an
atmosphere of such ostentatious
piety."
Recalling his own first cam
paign for the presidency in
1852. Mr.. Stevenson said:
do you recall all their wild
talk about lurid mess down
here in Washington that they
were going to clean up? Well,
we've really got one now and
they've made it world wide: it's
our biggest export commodity"
Mr., Stevenson said the peo-
pie have been misled from the
beginning by the Administra-
ton. but that the truth is
slowly emerging at last.

many powerful issues this fall.

While most of the criticisms
were aimed at the White House.

crack at Vice President Nixon

Truman Speech Full Of Darts
Mr.. Humans speech bristleo
with such sharply pointed
darts as:
Il think they (the people
are fed up with Republican
hucksters and their campaign
oratory."
People are tired of getting
liberal pep talks and reaction
airy policies.
I'm spite of the Republican
recession. the Republicans
manage to keep prices going
upward. This is quite a feat
to have price imitation and re-
ceSSion at the same time. We
had a hard time getting a satel-
lite off the ground, but it was
no trick at all for them tC

"Old Smear Technique"
The former Democratic Presi-
dent said the effort to label
everyone who mentions the
present serious economic situa-
ton as a prophet of gloom and
doom who is betting on de-
preston is simply another ver-
sion of the old smear technique,
No one is fooled by it,"
The man from independence
said the Democrats believe a
growing and expanding econ
omy means that "all the funds
necessary can be made avail
able for defense. for health and
for education, for economic Tor
eign aid "
Mr.. Stevenson said there are
many contrasts between the
Truman and Eisenhower Ad-
ministrations. but none is more
dramatic than the change in
the relationship between the
Government and the people.
That change can be briefly
summed up-the Democrats re-
garded the people as respon-
sible partners. able to take
their own share in the labor
of public policy; the Republic
cans regard the people as GUS
toners. to be bemused, be-
guiled and manipulated-to be
sold, not told" he said.
Mr.. Stevenson said these
years of Republican rule have
been stained by heavy failure
in many areas. 1.-The excuses
of McCarthyism, the disinte-
grafton of our alliances, the
lessening of confidence in us
abroad, the decay of our mill
tary position. and now the de-
cline in our economic vitality"
