Adlai, Ike Swap Verbal Punches
Washington—(U.P.)—Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson charged today that Dwight D. Eisenhower is "comforting" the Kremlin, while the Republican presidential nominee accused President Truman of "political demagoguery."
In a speech prepared for delivery at Saginaw, Mich., Gov. Stevenson entered a new and harder-hitting phase of his campaign by saying that when Gen. Eisenhower "speaks of our prosperity as being war-born, who can gain comfort except the Soviets, who shout to the world that we have undertaken our defense program, not to insure peace but to prevent a depression at home by waging war abroad?"
Gen. Eisenhower's schedule today included speeches at Tacoma, Wash., and Portland, Ore., following one of his sharpest digs at Mr. Truman so far in the campaign. The general told a Seattle audience, "You have been told by an expert in political demagoguery that I want to turn this great northwest back to the prairie dogs and sagebrush." He said the President had led his audiences "through an underworld of imaginary devils" and had given them "a course in nonsense fiction."
sense Rhetoric
The chief executive took his first public notice of the Republican "truth squad" of three senators which has been trailing him on his whistle stop tour.
Other political developments:
1. Sen. Richard M. Nixon, whistle-stopping through New England, charged that "no one has stooped so low as Pres. Truman in his attack on Gen. Eisenhower." The GOP vice presidential nominee said "Americans like a fighter, but not a dirty fighter."
2. James A. Farley, former postmaster general and Democratic national chairman, called on the press to ask Sien. Nixon to make a complete disclosure of his finances and income. Mr. Farley said Sen. Nixon's recent financial accounting did not answer all the questions and "don't think he can get away with it."
3. Gov. Earl Warren of California said Gen. Eisenhower is better equipped to meet the nation's problems "than any variation of the Democratic administration." Gov. Warren said on a statewide broadcast that a change in national leadership is essential.
4. Sen. John J. Sparkman, Gov. Stephen's running mate, said the GOP would prefer to isolate America from the rest of the world. The Alabaman said in a letter at Fayetteville, W.V., that "the Republicans would erect a wall around the United States—a tariff wall and an immigration wall."
5. Sen. Robert A. Taft denounce Mr. Truman as a "dangerous demagogue" who speaks "without regard" for the truth. The Ohioan speaking at a party rally in Cincinnati, said Mr. Truman's campaign speeches "have to be taken apart because the appeal he makes with out any regard for the truth is dangerous."

Mercury Drops To 26 Degrees
The first frost of the season hit the Lawrence area last night as the mass of cold air covering the mid-sections of the nation sent the mercury plunging to 26 degrees early this morning.
That low reported by C. J. Posey, Lawrence volunteer weather observer, was the coldest October date since 1949.
Last night's temperature will probably be the low mark of the current cold snap with the district weather forecast calling for a slight warming trend today and tomorrow.
However, reports from rural areas in the Kaw river bottoms placed last night's low at 21 degrees. It was the second night that ice formed in bird baths and stock tanks in the country and outlying sections of the city.
The skidding lows sent records reeling on the statewide picture, too. Highest minimum was Wichita's 31 while the Kansas low mark was 13 at Goodland.
Yesterday's low of 30 degrees measured downtown, was the first drop below the freezing mark this fall. However, no frost was reported locally as the result of yesterday's mercury plunge.
Weather observers said the lows at Goodland, Concordia (25), and Topea (23), were the lowest ever recorded this early in the season.

Ike Attacks Fair Deal On Public Power Plan
En route with Eisenhower—(U.P.)—Dwight D. Eisenhower, trying to minimize President Truman's blunt charges that the Republicans are out to kill public power, warned against "sly apostles of Fair Dealism" who would sell the nation a "whole hog approach to public power."
Eisenhower's 18-car special train heads down the Pacific coastline today in much the same path the barnstorming Mr. Truman took last week.
Last night in Seattle, Wash., Eisenhower answered the President's prediction that if the GOP nominee won in November the voters "won't see any more" big federal resources projects.
The former five-star general told a capacity audience of more than 6,000 persons in Seattle's Civic Ice arena that he favored federal-state cooperation in public power development.
Columbia basin development should be handled by an interstate body "in accordance with state laws." he said.
He flatly rejected the idea of a Columbia River Valley project.
"The whole heg theory is that the federal government must do everything for us and to us," Eisenhower said.
"You have been told by an expert in political demagoguery that I want to turn this great Northwest back to the prairie dogs and sagebrush," the former general said.
"You have been conducted through an underworld of imaginary devils. You have had a course in, nonsense fiction."
Eisenhower took one of his sharpest digs at President Truman to date.
Eisenhower's defense of the Republican party's approach to power resources development was presented in the same Seattle hall in which Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson spoke three weeks ago.
The Democratic presidential nominee had attracted about the same size crowd as Eisenhower, but officials estimated the sidewalk turnout for the Republican candidate was greater.
Eisenhower said he felt confident his proposal of more state control in power development "can be done with an administration that is devoted to the principle of decentralized government and to the full development of our resources."
Draft Tightening Seen by Official
The GOP nominee said "the sly apostases of Fair Dealism" were trying to take credit for inventing the idea of federal participation in natural resources development.
Denver —(U)P)— Brig. Gen, Louis H. Renfrew, Deputy Director of Selective Service, said today it probably will be necessary to tighten up on deferments, and possibly lower physical standards, to meet 1952 draft quotas.
In a speech prepared for delivery before the general conference of the National Guard association, he said the Armed Forces will need "well over" 1,000,000 men to maintain their planned strength through 1953. But he presented figures showing that only 771,152 are likely to be available in the 19 through 25 manpower pool.
Renflow pointed out that an additional 1,350,839 men are currently deferred because of essential farm or factory jobs, or because they are college students or heads of families.
