Stevenson Calls Eisenhower 'Part Time President'
HARRISBURG, Pa.—(UP)—Adlai E. Stevenson left little room for doubt today that he will set up Vice President Richard M. Nixon as main target of his Democratic presidential campaign.
Mr. Stevenson sought in his campaign kickoff speech last night to paint President Eisenhower as a "part-time" president who no longer is "master in his own house." Republican leaders, he said, will look to Nixon as their "heir aparent."
Mr. Stevenson charged that partly by choice, partly by necessity. Mr. Eisenhower has turned government powers over to men who represent business, mostly big business.
"Everyone shares in sympathy for the circumstances which have created a part-time presidency," Mr. Stevenson said.
"But we cannot understand—and we will not accept—turning the government over to men who work full-time for the wrong people or a limited group of people," he continued.
But from here on the future of Republican leaders will depend not on Mr. Eisenhower, but the Republican heir apparent, Mr. Nixon and the vice president seems to sail down wind no matter which way the wind blows.
wind blows.
Mr. Stevenson's mention of Nixon's name drew a loud boo from the crowd, a reflection of the bitterness felt by many Democrats for the vice president. ___
Adlai's Charge Called 'Ridiculous'
GETTYSBURG, Pa., — (UP) — White House Press Secretary James C. Hagerty today branded as "ridiculous" Adlai E. Stevenson's charge that President Eisenhower no longer is "master in his own house." Hagerty said the President watched Mr. Stevenson's speech on television "for a few minutes" but had "nothing to say" about it. The press secretary said the President on next Tuesday will go to the Washington National Airport and speak at a send-off breakfast for Vice President Nixon who will embark shortly thereafter on a 32-state campaign tour. On the following day, Sept. 19, Mr. Eisenhower will deliver his first major, nationwide campaign speech, speaking from the studios of the Columbia Broadcasting System in Washington at 7:30 p.m. Kansas time. His speech will be carried nationally over CBS TV and radio.
The pedestrian record reflected the 5th consecutive year of improvement for motor vehicle accidents in 1955.
Ike To Confer On Suez Crisis
WASHINGTON —(UP)—President Eisenhower today interrupted a four-day vacation at his Gettysburg, Pa., farm to confer with Australian Prime Minister Robert G. Menzies on the Suez crisis.
Mr. Menzies headed the five nation committee that failed to get Nasser to negotiate on the American plan for internationalizing the canal.
The Eisenhower-Menzies meeting was set against a background of a newly-clarified American position on Suez.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told a jammed news conference yesterday the United States would join the proposed "users Assn." even if only Britain and France took part. But he said—emphasizing he could not speak for other nations—the United States does not intend "to shoot its way through the canal."
He said if Egypt blocks U.S. ships from the canal, the vessels will be sent around the Cape of Good Hope. He said he hoped other nations would do likewise.
In Port Said Egypt-European pilots ran their last convoy through the Suez Canal today before a mass walkout at midnight (4 p.m. Kansas time) hits—and possibly cripples the waterway.
Meanwhile in London the threat of an immediate war over the Suez Canal reduced today despite tonight's walkout of Suez Canal pilots that is expected to cripple or close the waterway.
Excessive speed was the principal cause of traffic accidents in 1955.
Mayor Demands Guard Leave City
CLAY, Ky.—(UP)—Mayer Herman Z. Clark today demanded that the commander of the Kentucky National Guard get his troops out of Clay, where they have been sent to keep down racial trouble. Mr. Clark is a strong segregationist. Adj. Gen. J. J. B. Williams, head of the National Guard, refused to budge unless he gets orders from Gov. A. B. Chandler.
"The Attorney General has ruled that you and your soldiers are in our city unlawfully," Mr. Clark told Williams. "You have destroyed our civil rights and also our school."
Since Wednesday, the Clay school, which has three Negroes in class but is being boycotted by all the white pupils and half the teachers has been surrounded by 500 National Guardsmen.
Workers Segregated In English Mill
NOTTINGHAM, England, —(UP) White English girls in a textile mill here have refused to work with Negro girls and have forced management to separate workers, it was disclosed yesterday.
Frank Crowson, production manager of the mill, said segregation was the only way of overcoming a shortage of machinists.
