Why I Am Far Steveasoa
Far President
(Quest Editorial)
soon eacn citizen oi tnia country win nave opporiui
to go alone into a voting booth and exercise the great
important right of expressing his opinion as to who she
hold office in his government.
By CARL BRUCE
Soon each citizen of this country will have opportunity
t and
__. lould
in his government.
In the privacy of the voting booth these citizens belong
no longer to union, church, lodge, or family. He has severed
all connections an dstands alone with a list of names, his in-
dividual judgment, and his own conscience. That is as it
should he. Each person should vote his .own convictions, and
with that understanding the following comments are printed:
Adlai Stevenson has campaigned for office on a positive
basis. He has not wasted much breath criticizing others. He
has appealed, not to emotions, but rather he has talked on
the basis of facts—facts as he sees them. He has made no pie-
in-the-sky,promises. For example, he has not promised vast
tax reductions as some politicians have. He knows just how
difficult it is to cut taxes with the international situation
what it is, and with past, present, and possible future wars
eating up 85 per cent of each tax dollar. Mr. Stevenson has
warded that some trying times lie ahead and who can pre-
dict anything else, with the world in the turmoil it is in?
Mr. Stevenson has been quite careful about forming alli-
ances with politicians in order to win. He has frankly declined
to support some of the people running on the ticket of his
party, the Democratic, because he is honest enough to admit
that there are some bad hombres in every crowd.
Mr. Stevenson acts like a man who will walk just slightly
to the liberal side of the center of the road. Walking there he
should be extraordinarily successful because he is a persuas-
ive, reasonable, confidence-inspiring man. The programs he
introduces as president will be well thought out, acceptable
to a maximum number of people, and convincingly presented.
Thus he should win the support of the people and a fair
measure of cooperation from Congress. Thus his programs,
. while not radically new or different, will stand good chance
of adoption.
As governor of Illinois, Mr. Stevenson cleaned up a cor-
rupt did state machine. He brought new efficiency to the state
government without increasing taxes. He sponsored much
liberal legislation and got some of it through a legislature
dominated by the opposing party.
Dwight D. Eisenhower has been a disappointment. He
entered politics a few months ago as a fresh, new personality.
Many men of good will felt that the general was an able and
independent man who stood somewhat above the sordid realm
of rrerydav politics. He started as a.middle-of-the-roader,
rooeiving his support from the more progressive element of
the Republican party. He soundly trounced Senator Taft,
leaded dr the old guard of the party.
Gep. Eisenhower has fallen in with
»le companions. He literally* threw his arms around
Jenner of Indiana, the man who recklessly called
Marshall a traitor to America. He urged the re-
election of Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin, a man who has
been completely unscrupulous in smearing the names of in-
nocent people. He endorsed a statement of policy dictated by
SemftorTaft.
General Eisenhower’s campaign statements have appeal-
ed to emotion more than to reason. He has been negative, vio-v
lently criticizing the present administration and even some
of the jtolicies he himself helped form. He has offered no
concrete suggestions as to what to do in the future.
It must be remembered that for 40 years—most of his
adult life—Gen. Eisenhower was a soldier, living in a separ-
ate world. In the Army, all decisions flow through arbitrary
channels of authority. A soldier, whatever his good points,
learhs little about the give and take and the struggle for
security of ordinary civilian life. A professional soldier learns
litttt of the methods of getting things done through civil
channel or of the issues involved in civil life.
I hqnestly do not believe that Gen. Eisenhower, the great
comlOnfhder of armies, is qualified to serve as president. I
sincefely believe he is associating with reactionary people.
I do believe that Adlai Stevenson is a man of hrilliant
mind, humility of spirit and honesty and patriotism of pur-
pose. I believe he will make an exceptionally great president,
and America needs Adlai Stevenson.

Discussion
Held On
Local Airport
In a meeting wUh W. T. Brown,
CAA official, a group of interested
air-minded, Gladewater citizens
discussed ways and means of mak-
ing the local airport grow.
The city and county had begun
run-way improvement with a
surface treatment of oil. Weeds
arc to be cut and an all over faw
lifting will take place.
Already there are nine hangers
with planes in each one.
Tor some time there had been
an instructor on the field, and a
number of people had been trained
to pilot planes.
The air port is conveniently lo-
cated on highway 270, two miles
from the business district. It was
formerly owned by A. F. (Doc)
Shepperd and was recognized as a
beauty spot of East Texas. The
surface is level with enough drop
to assure perfect natural drainage.
Brown talked about two things:
the things adequate in order to
make more people want to own air
craft; and how to do it.
He stressed the need for signs
pointing to the location of the air
port, and the pertinent need of in-
stallations to serve gasoline to the
planes.
Long range plans for ambulance
service and chartered trips can be
counted on as can be agricultural
interest in dusting and spraying.
Further vision will include com-
forts for visitors, including meal
service, full time mechanical help,
and modern lmjngee.
attending were: John H.

administration for the Korean war
and criticizing it for failing to end
the conflict
During the past several days Eis-
enhower has charged America be-
came involved in the war because
of a “miserable failure" of U. S.
diplomacy conducted on President
Truman’s orders. He said ip Buf-
falo that the Truman administra-
tion is the offspring of big city
bosses such as the late Tom Pen-
dergast of Kansas City.
Stevenson scheduled a day of
Whistle stopping through New
York state after charging that Eis-
enhower is leading a campaign of
“innuendo and slander” which
could scuttle the nation's political
system. The Democratic candidate
made the charge in a Cleveland
speech in which he repudiated cri-
‘icisih of the deposition he gave
for Alger Hiss.
Stevensoh accused the GOP of
trying to “sow the seeds of doubt
and distrust” and charged that
“those who would beguile the vot-
ters by lies or half-truths or cor-
rupt them by fear and falsehood”
are guilty of “spiritual treason.”
The Illinois governor said his de-
position for Hiss was his civic
duty. He noted that “I said his
reputation was 'good' so far as I
had heard from others, and that
was the simple, exact, whole truth.
. . . this was his reputation as the
general himself has good reason to
know."

American Infantry Launches
Savage Attack On Commies
SEOUL, Korea, Oct. 24. (U.R) —
American infantrymen launched a
savage attack on Chinese Commu-
nists holding Pike's Peak on Tri-
angle Hill late Friday but were
forced to give it up in the face of
a heavy Red artillery and mortar
barrage.
U. S. Seventh Division soldiers
clawed and fought their way to
within 30 yards of th^ crest ot the
central front height before their
attack stalled. Some of ihe intense
Red fire was direct trajectory, pro-
bably from tanks or self-propelled
guns.
An Allied spokesman said at 10
p. m. (7 a. m. CST) that it was
•quiet there now except for oc-
casional rounds of incoming Red
mortar and artillery."
United Press correspondent Fred
Painton said that at one point in
the attack, the Americana were
halted by a maze of anti-person-
nel mines planted around Pike’s
/Peak by Communist patrols.
Pike's peak is the Reds’ last
toehold on the four-domed Tri-
angle hill mass north of Kumhwa.
The other three hills are held by
the Americans with Ethiopian
troops backing them up from the
Allied main line of resistance.
Slopped by Mine Fields
Painton said the allied attack
was launched at 4 p. m. (1 a. m.
CST). After an hour and a half of
bitter fighting, the UN troops
scrambled to within 90 yards of
the top.
There they ran into a heavy con-
centration of anti-personnel mines
laid by Communist patrols. The
mines, along with the Red mortar,
rifle, artillery and grenade fire,
halted the U. S. assault.
The American attack followed
savage assaults by more than 3,-
000 Chinese Communists on eight
American, South Korean and Ethi-
opian positions Thursday night and
*NBttalions of about 200 Reds hit
Triangle hill, Finger ridge and Lit-
tle Gibraltar MU, while companies
and reinforced companies of about
200 men attacked Iron Horse

crest. At last
ing was continuing, with the Reds
holding the northern slope and the
ROKs on the southern slope.
The two forces were only about
40 yards apart, and neither the
Reds nor the ROKs could depend
much on artillery because of their
nearness.
Both sides were reported pinned
down by heavy recoilless rifle and
grenade fire.
“Raising one’s head would mean
death,” a soldier said.
Front line reports said the Chi-
nese lost 140 killed and 320 wound-
ed in the night attack on the Tri-
angle hill area.
The Eighth Anny announced
that UN ground troops killed,
wounded or captured 9,382 Reds
during the week Oct. 21. The total,
including 5,996 dead, 3,321 wound-
ed and 65 prisoners, was a drop
from last week’s 10,186.
“give ’em hell” campaigning
against the GOP, took a brief
breather in Washington, He re-
turned Thursday night from his
third whistle stop tour, and will
hit the trail again Sunday for,a
swing through six midwestem
states. Mr. Truman told the crowd
of 8.000 which greeted him in'the
capital that he has been telling the
people “the truth” ‘ because the
-press is “100 per cent against us”
and has "called me a liar and a
I traitor.”
Bays Stevenson Qualified
. 2. Sen. Richard M. Nixon said
Stevenson used “shockingly bad”
judgment when he gave a deposi-
tion for Alger Hiss. The GOP vice
presidential nominee, speaking in
Minneapolis, said the nation can-
not afford to have “a person who
makes such grave mistakes” in the
White House. Sixteen New York
attorneys also said in a statement
that the Democratic candidate
showed “bad judgment” in the
Hiss deposition.
3. Vice President Alben W.
Barkley said in a “fireside chat”
on television that “no man has
ever been better qualified” for the
presidency than Stevenson. The
Veep said Stevenson “has more
experience in international rela-
tions and a fuller and sounder un-
derstanding of foreign policy than
any other man who has ever been
elected president ... or any man
who is now seeking office.”
4. Sen. Robert A. Taft told a
Republican rally in Philadelphia
that Stevenson is a “true disciple
of the Truman philosophy” whose
policy “falls right into the trap”
o. « Russian tnreat aimed at the
U. S. economy. The Ohioan said
Stevenson “believes we must re-
,.pviu. .o every emergency oy more
spending.”
DALLAS, Oct. 24. (U.R)—John A.
Roosevelt, the youngest son of the
late President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, said Friday he is “fed
up with this mess in Washington."
“One of the great needs in this
country is for real leadership in
Washington,” he told a press con-
ference in Dallas during a one-day
tour of Texas stumping for Dwight
D. Eiseihcwer.
“I believe General Eisenhower
is the answer to a crying need."
Roosevelt scheduled speeches
Friday at Tyler, Palestine, Mar-
shall and Lulkin, all deep in the
Democratic stronghold of East
Texas.
Tired of Double Deal
In a speech prepared for de-
livery at Tyler, he said:
“I am a Democrat. You people
are Democrats . . . But now we’re
tired of double-dealing. We want
honesty and decency in govern-
ment and we want hope for peace.
“I am certain we will not get
those things from the Truman ad-
ministration or their captive can-
didate, Mr. Adlai E. Stevenson.”
He said he “admired and re-
spected” what his father “did for
me p ople.”
"I cannot, in all conscience,
«tand by and see his ideals tramp-
led in the dust by a bunch of
political opportunists.”
At the press conference in Dal-
las, Roosevelt was asked what
position his father would take in
the presidential campaign if he
were still alive.
Aa Iffy Question
“That is an iffy question,”
Roosevelt answered. “Ail of us
were brought up like you Texans
—completely independent. Father
always taught us to do what we
thought waa right.”
. “Iffy” was an expression the late
President Roosevelt used.
John Roosevelt said he was not
endorsing any state or local can
didates.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery at Palestine, Roosevelt
pointed out, “as you know, my
father chose General Eisenhower
to lead the greatest military opera-
tion in all history. I think my fa-
ther was a good president and a
wise judge of men, and he recog-
nized Dwight Eisenhower’* rare
talents, not only as a soldier but
as a statesman. Time anu experi-
ence have shown how right my
father was.”
“In my opinion, only Dwight
Eisenhower can put us back on the
right track—and believe me, we
are not on the right track now.
Our government in Washlnvt*''' is
riddled with graft and corruption.
We are boggea down in * wui
there in Korea. President Truman
says it is a police action, but I say
it is a war because it has already
cost us more than 120,000 dead,
wounded and missing American
soldiers.”
Roosevelt told a courthouse
square crowd at Marshall that
“you are not getting a fair deal,
you’re getting a double-deal.”
“You’re getting corruption and
waste, and worse than that we are
now bogged down in a war in Ko-
rea. Your sons went out there to
fight and they didn’t have enough
tanks or weapons, or even enough
training to defend themselves
properly.”

AfcM ENROLLMENT DOWN
COLLEGE STATION, Oct. 24.
(U.R)—Texas AIM College an-
nounced Friday its enrollment to
date was 6,277, including 1,547
ireshmen and 812 college transfers,
compared to a total enrollment of
6,582 for the same date last year.
I’ve always thought quite a bit
of my friend, Carl Bruce. Surely
approved of two of the best thing,
he’s ever done: build a lake that
will provide adequate water sup-
ply for Gladewater and the pro
spective industries that might
come in, and extend the city
limits in order for the tax burden
not to be on too few people.
Seems now that Carl is on the
wrong side politically, but I do ap-
preciate the nice business he’s giv-
ing the paper! Personally, I wish
this campaign would last another
month. It’s far more profitable
than my friend’s fish stories. Won-
der if Houser can’t find something
to advertise.
The remark came to me that if
Ike is elected we’ll have to go to
catching rabbits again, but I’m
proud to think that we won’t be
having to give one half of them to
the government as we would under
the present administration.
