Round 3:
Stevenson Renews Battle With GOP
Washington—(U.P.) Adlai E. Stevenson yesterday supplied the third installment in the speech-by-speech feud which is shaping up between him and the Republican party.
The feud had its start a week ago Saturday in Miami Beach, where Mr. Stevenson sent forth a blast against Republican leadership, charging that the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower was "embracing" McCarthyism.
One week later, Vice President Richard Nixon appeared on a national television hook-up, and delivered an address, which most persons considered an "answer" to the week-old attack by Mr. Stevenson. It was to this speech by Mr. Nixon that yesterday's statement by Mr. Stevenson was directed.
the text of Mr. Stevenson's statement;
As anami Beach I said that McCarthyism was injuring the government, dividing the nation, and diverting the attention from the real issues. Last night Vice President Nixon, speaking for the President and the Republican party, said precisely the same thing. He also assured us that the President was the "unquestioned leader of the Republican party." That is fine, as far as it goes. But will the Republican National committee continue to use Senator McCarthy as a party spokesman?
"I had hoped the administration would stop deceiving the public about the number of subversives ousted from the government. Instead the Vice President treated us to another misleading rendition of the familiar numbers game and we
don't know yet how many Communists, if any, they have caught and dismissed.
"Many people have proposed some reasoned discussion of the "new look" in defense policy. But the massive atomic retaliation policy which was disowned in the middle of the week was reaffirmed by the Vice President at the end of the week, coupled with a strong suggestion that we should not ask any questions.
I remind the Vice President that true national unity can't proceed from blind faith in any party or any individual—it must be founded on understanding by our people of the policies by which the administration seeks to meet our problems. This is why the first step toward the unity of which the Vice President speaks, must be honest information about those policies
As to the President, I repeat that the co-equal status of the branches of government must be maintained and efforts to restore order and honestly in his own house and the nation should command the support and sympathy of everyone, Democrats and Republicans alike. His burdens are immense. I hope the kind of revolting diversions we have witnessed so long won't be one of his or our burdens much longer. If his leadership is resolute and undivided, as the Vice President says, it will be good news throughout the world we must lead.

New Fighters Operate Just Like Helicoptors
Washington—(U.P).The Navy this week will announce the development of two experimental fighter planes which can take off and land vertically and thus need neither runways nor carrier decks to operate.
Despite the fact that two national magazines have been allowed to make pictures and shortly will run stories of the radical new ships, the Navy does not yet concede offically that the planes exist

Housemother for One Day: A Real 'Stranger in Paradise'
Housemother for a day—that's the position Mr. Charles Johnson, director of the elementary education department, found himself in Friday. Alpha Phi sorority had bid high for his services at the Faculty Follies in that capacity.
Mr. Johnson was greeted at the house as "Mother Johnson." They conducted him on a tour of the house and escorted him to sit at the right of the sorority president at dinner, while Mrs. Richard Blume, regular housemother, became "just one of the girls." He made the usual requests to the confused housebows, who served him a helping of potatoes large enough to spoil the dainty figure of any housemother.
After dinner "Mother Johnson" was entertained by Wild Bill Hick-
kock and his cronies in a skit enacted by the sorority members, and was introduced to their dates as they arrived (all in a day's work—for a housemother). With the moral support of all present, he went down to the kitchen and turned out a batch of fudge, "as our housemother always does."
As closing hours approached, he went through the mechanics of closing the house for the night, bid goodnight to everyone, and completing his stint as housemother, made his way back to his own home.
be removed from the VTO (vertical take off) planes coincidental with publication of one of the magazine stories in mid-week.
The two new planes, experimental forerunners of types that could revolutionize certain tactical operations, are the Consolidated-Vultee FY-1 and the Lockheed XFL. Both are powered by 5,500-horsepower gas turbine engines produced by General Motors. The engines drive two contra-rotating propellers.
The Air Force has a similar project underway, involving jet propulsion.
Both services aim to build planes that can take off vertically, fly and maneuver at speeds of 600 or 750 miles an hour, and land in an area about as large as that required for a helicopter.
The Lockheed model already has flown briefly, but some sources indicate that was an accident. Mounted on temporary landing gear, it went through fast taxi tests, took off, and flew a short distance.
The Navy refused to say anything about the planes even after a San Diego newspaper photographer took a picture of the Consolidated-Vultee plane, using a telephoto lens at considerable distance.
The plane has been moved from the factory and was shown standing on its four tail fins, surrounded by a work stand with the large contrarotating props protruding at the top like a helicopter rotary wing.
