Vice President Richard M. Nixon, in Los Angeles, accused Adlai Stevenson of unintentionally "spreading pro-communist propaganda" and of insulting Mr. Eisenhower. He charged that the 1952 Democratic presidential candidate had attacked "the economic system of the United States...while at the same time praising the Soviet economy."
Mr. Eisenhower's tour highlighted a busy day of campaigning by both parties. Twenty-one speakers were on the stump under the auspices of the GOP national committee while eight Democrats spoke under the sponsorship of their party's national committee.
Mr. Eisenhower said his whirlwind "prop-stop" tour was aimed at stimulating a "great outpouring of votes" Tuesday and electing a Republican House and Senate.
Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell accused CBS and ABC of "blacking out" Democracy spokesmen and urged them to reconsider their refusal to grant radio and TV time to match appearances by President Eisenhower."
At the same time, Mr. Mitchell praised NBC, which granted the Democrats a half-hour on radio and TV Saturday night, for doing "a public service to the millions of voters who want to see and hear both sides of the political debate."
In Washington, Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr., said he had seen evidences of a "big pickup" in Republican strength in the last few days. Chairman Richard M. Simpson (R-Pa.) of the GOP Congressional campaign committee predicted the Republicans would pick up 10 to 15 House seats.
On the Democratic side, Rep. Michael J. Kirwan, chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, stood by his earlier forecast of a Democratic house gain of 60 seats.

Political Tour Made by Ike
En Route with Eisenhower —(U.P.)
President Eisenhower said today that his administration started out two years ago tired of hearing the reply "red herring every time the word communism was mentioned."
Mr. Eisenhower brought up the red issue at Cleveland, his first stop on a whirlwind, one-day stumping trip in an effort to get a Republican candidate elected and escape the dangers of a split Federal government.
He boasted that it had not been necessary to find a single official appointed by him, and confirmed by the Senate, involved in any kind of wrongdoing whatsoever.
"They have a record of spotless integrity and service." he said.
In kicking out subserves, officials involved in the Housing scandal, and other undesirable federal employees, Mr. Eisenhower said, the civil rights of individuals had been protected fully.
GOP Senatorial candidates in all four states were in tight races. And Mr. Eisenhower took time out from his official duties at the White House to make the dramatic campaigning lick in the final days of the Republican drive to hold control of Congress.
Mr. Eisenhower's Cleveland speech was the first he planned to deliver in the one-day whirlwind stumping trip. The others were at Detroit, Louisville, Ky., and Wilmington, Del.

South Vote Will Decide Segregation Question
Bureau Must OK Veteran Enrollment
Atlanta,—(U.P.)—Voters in three southern states are going to decide at the polls whether to give their public officials new powers aimed at maintaining racial segregation in public schools regardless of what the U. S. Supreme Court may decree.
Detailing what he said were 11 separate instances of outright lies spread by the Republicans, Mr. Harriman declared, "Nothing has been too infamous, or too ridiculous, to be included within the scope of this petty crusade."
HarrimanSays GOPCriticsLie
In a fighting mood, Mr. Harriman branded as "lies" the first four of a series of Republican "bombshell" attacks on his personal and business background.
Any changes in enrollment by veterans attending school under the GI bill must be approved by the Veteran's bureau before the change takes place.
Veterans are allowed only one change in enrollment which results in an appreciable loss of enrollment time, but even changes which do not result in a loss of time must be approved by the office, E. R. Elbel, director of the Veteran's bureau, said.
New York — (U,P) — Democratic Governorial Candidate Averell Harriman charged last night that his Republican critics have resorted to the Communist and Nazi technique of the "big lie" in a desperate attempt to save next Tuesday's election.
In a televised speech billed as the most important time of his campaign, the former mutual security director blasted his Republican opponent, Sen. Irving M. Ives, and retiring Gov. Thomas E. Dewey for waging a campaign against him based on "personal attack, innuendo and smear."
- Voters in Louisiana and Georgia will mark ballots on the issue next Tuesday. In Mississippi the question will go to the voters at a special election Dec. 21.
Georgia and Mississippi legislatures are asking voters to okay so-called "private school" plans designed to maintain segregation. The Louisiana legislature is seeking adoption of a "police power" amendment to keep the races separated.
Mr. Elbel said deviations from this policy are difficult because the Veterans' administration is following the policy quite closely.
All three involve amendments to state constitutions. They were passed by the state legislatures in anticipation of a final decree to be handed down by the Supreme Court after arguments this winter on its historic decision outlawing racial segregation in public schools.
In Louisiana voters will decide Tuesday whether to ratify an amendment which, in effect, says that segregation is necessary to preserve peace and order in the state. It would give police the power to enforce segregation as a means of maintaining peace.
Mississippi waits until Dec. 21 to call out voters for a decision on a "private school" plan similar to Georgia's. It would authorize the legislature to abolish public schools and appropriate state funds, or permit appropriation of local funds, for educational purposes.
In Georgia the proposed constitutional amendment provides that the state would pay the "tuition" of students attending "private" schools and backers of the amendment believe that in this way segregation could be maintained.
A committee fighting the amendment claims it could destroy Georgia's public school system, impose a heavy financial burden on poorer counties and open the way to integration by removing the state constitution's bar against mixing races in the schools.
South Carolina and Alabama both are considering anti-integration plans that would involve dual school systems.
