Stevenson, who twice sought
the presidency and lost, and
tonight he speaks to the Liber-
al Party. which last night in
dorSed the Democratic ticket.
In his prepared talk at a
luncheon for the New York
Women's Democratic Club,
Senator Kennedy spoke mostly
on peace.
He warned that peace will
not come easily, and contended
that the Republicans still
haven't learned that words
are not a substitute for ac-
ton" in dealing with the Com
munists.
st. Louis Crowd Spirited
How many 'sputniks and
luniks and Castros and Lu-
mumbas," he aked. will it
take to make us realize that
we must be dynamic in some
thing more than our public
relations?
At St. Louis last night SEN
ator Kennedy encountered the
widest demonstration of an
otherwise relatively placid con-
test with Vice President Nixon,
his Republican rival.
Before leaving st. Louis,
Senator Kennedy told a cheer
ing union convention today the
Eisenhower administrations S
policy of drift" has brought
the Nation economic injustice
at home and peril abroad"
He drew a burst of applause
from an audience of nCerly
$4,000 when he promised to
substitute for these policies a
program he said would ire
build the country's strength, vi
tality and unity"
I'VE must not say we never
had it so good,'" he told the
International Association Of
Machinists. I'VE must say we
can do better. "
Senator Kennedy was cheered
by a throng outside and by
members of the MachiniSts
Union when he spoke before
their convention.
Group to Hear Nixon, Too
The 900, O,OOO-member Machin-

President AL J. Hayes, who has
indicated he opposes indorse-

was among the absenteeS when
the AFL-CIO executive council
gave its blessing to the ticket.
The Machinists will hear
Vice President Nixon, tomor-
row.
The Democratic nominee is
expected to return later for
further campaigning in Mis-
souri, in a bid for the States
13 electoral votes. Some Of his
aides consider Missouri a ques-

The Democratic nominee
took his campaign to politically
doubtful Missouri last night. He
promptly encountered the Wild
est demonstration of his tour.
Police Bowled Over
An unruly crowd, which re-
fused to heed police pleas-and
in fact tossed the policemen
around as though they were
tenpins-engulfed the Kennedy
plane after it landed at St
Louis Municipal Airport.
1t took Is minutes and re-
peated appeals by Senator
Symington, Democrat of Mis-
souri,. over a foghorn loud
speaker before aides would
agree to let the Democratic
nominee venture into the mar
row aisle that had been formed
to let Senator Kennedy pass to
a ramp where he spoke briefly
Students from Washington
University of st. Louis made
up a substantial portion OF
those who trapped Senator
Kennedy in his campaign plane
by refusing to bulge while
they shouted at their neigh

This reception, in a State
where there are some Demo-

test for 13 electoral votes,
encouraged Kennedy aides to
believe the Massachusetts, Sem

in l948.
Confidence ShOrcd Up
Senator Kennedy shifted to
New York City with shored-up
