‘ By The Associated Press Republican presidential nominee Dwight Eisenhower, armed with an experimental technique, rolled in- to the Midwest today while his Democratic opponent took a breather between campaign tours, Eisenhower's plan, according to one of his top advisers, is to re- cite the campaign issues for his listeners, then ask them: Are these laughing matters? As Gov. Sherman Adams of New Mampshire put it: “The campaign to elect the next President of the United States is no laughing mat- ter, to be handled lightly with quips and puns.” This, then, would be Eisenhow- @r’s first answer to the jabs thrust his way by Illinois’ Gov. Adlai Ste- venson, the Democratic presiden- tial nominee, during Stevenson’s @ampaign tour of the West. How the crowds respond might determine whether this technique would be continued. The Eisenhow- er train, after its first scheduled stop at Ft. Wayne, Ind., heads for Stevenson’s home state, Illinois At the Springfield State Capitol Stevenson was catching up on his gubernatorial duties and, on the basis of his experience in the West, girding for an assault on the At- lantic Seaboard. Stevenson’s second major drive, opening Thursday, will take him through Connecticut, into Massa- chusetts, New York, Maryland and Virginia. His managers consider New York “reasonably safe,” but expect a grim fight in the four other states. The Eisenhower special will hit a dozen states in as many days. the general’s talks are expected to attack the Democrats on the is- sues of Korea, corruption and com- munism. Of the 12 states, nine went for President Truman in 1948 — Illi- nois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina and Virginia — and three for New York’s Gov. Thomas E. Dewey — Indiana, Nebraska and Maryland. As he traveled westward, Eisen- hower learned that editors and political writers in five politically strong Middle Atlantic states look for a narrow-margin GOP victory there in November. The five: New | York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware. An Associated Press survey brought opinions that these states, with 105 electoral votes toward the 266 needed for victory, would give | Eisenhower a bigger margin than | they gave Dewey in 1948. Eisenhower will drop off his spe- | cial tomorrow at St. Paul, Minn., to fly back to New York City, He speaks Wednesday before the | American Federation of Labor | EXCURSION FARES DEATH JOE LESTER Mr. Joseph Lester, 65, of 423 Truman avenue, died at his home Saturday after a long illness, Funeral services were held yes- terday afternoon at the graveside with the Rev.

Most of the animals can be coached to ‘lip it up.’ I’ve already heard the trainers say ‘lip it up’ so much that it’s driving me crazy. “T hope it will be worth all the trouble.

The AFL Convention, opening to- day, probably will break precedent and endorse one of the candidates for president. AFL chief William Green has given the impression it will be Stevenson, but no decision is expected until Sept. 23. Another scheduled speaker at the AFL Convention is Sen. Wayne Morse, the Oregon Republican who first promised to campaign vigor- ously for Eisenhower, then changed his mind. Morse was in- vited last night to speak and re- portedly accepted. The Oregon lawmaker indicated his decision to sit out the cam- paign was reached, partly at least, because Eisenhower has agreed with many of Sen. Robert A. Taft's views. Arthur Summerfield, GOP na- tional chairman, said Taft’s open- ing campaign speech will be made Wednesday at Springfield, O. He said a 30-minute broadcast will go out over NBC. “I expect to be out three or four days every week during the six weeks of the campaign,” Taft said on a CBS television show last night. “I suppose we'll cover 15 or 16 states.” That’s Me Boys ® RETURN e o OF £ TRIP ® TICKET e 50% PORTION 4-DAY ROUND TaIp JUNE 1 = OCT. 4 New YORK Weebington » 101420 > 115% : 108" Beltimore aut Panes Pus Tax NATIONAL Airlines | Cau 1780 TICKET OFFICE: Meechom Airport A Letter From Bill Lantaff As we discussed last week, adop- | tion of 70 percent of the Hoover Commission recommendations to date will eventually save American taxpayers four billion dollars a year. Robert McCormick, Research Di- rector of the Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report, revealed num- | erous problems and opposition con- | fronted the committee before a tion of these recommendations could be effected. Take, for example, the Oregon- California forest land control prot lem. Here, two agencies, the Bu- reau of Land Management and the | Forest Service, were fighting over control of these lands. They re- solved their problem by cutting the territory up in checkerboard | fashion, with one agency control- ling the even numbered squares and he other supervising the odd numbered squares. This was a good way to settle an argument but not to save money, their recommendation was to eli- minate this duplicated effort and place control of these lands under | one agency. The trouble started. Folks served by the Forest Service rose up in opposition to the thought that the Bureau of Land Manage- ment might be given control of their territory. Follks served by the Bureau were just as opposed to a change that would place control of the area in the hands of the Forest Service. Neither side wanted to give in and therefore made the | Committee’s job that much more difficult. There was the case of a veteran dying in Corpus Christi, Texas, be- cause no bed space was available in the VA hospital there. What made it_a tragic case was that a| Navy hospital there at the time had 25 doctors serving but six patients. The Commission recommended joint usuage of VA and service hos- itals by veterans and servicemen. Immediately, opposition was regis- tered to this recommendation by the American Legion and other ve- terans groups. The Chamber of Commerce fav- ored, through resolutions, adoption of the entire Hoover Commission Report when it was first made pub- lic. That was until one recommen- dation, increase of postal rates, was introduced in Congress. The Chambers protested this recom- mendation in a complete reversal | of their original public support. The point made by Mr. McCor- mick in our interview was this. If | we are to effect any economy n government, if we are to eliminate duplicating efforts in gov't, if} we sincerely want a minimum of | government, then each and e one of us have to make some sac rifices. We cannot continue to sup- port changes for the other fellow and oppose changes that effect us We must support whatever revision will be in the best interest for our country.

ADLAI STEVENSON of Illinois. he —— ee Florida Citrus Industry Sees Banner Year LAKELAND (#—Florida’s grow- ing citrus industry is all set for another big season. The crop is ripening a little later than last season, when grapefruit moved the first week in Septem- ber. It is expected to be another two weeks before fresh fruit be- sins shuttling north to market. But buyers are in the field al- Teady—some openly lining up fruit, others “just looking around” So far. Some groves are reported to have grapefruit that could pass maturity tests now, but owners are hesitating to cloud their repu- tation by shipping fruit that just gets by, although the lure of the high prices always Paid for early fruit is inviting. As a matter of fact there is still a little grapefruit being marketed from last season’s crop, but most citrus men by now have their eyes turned to the budding season. From all reports, prospects are bright. The quality of fruit hanging on the trees is reported good to ex- cellent. _ Surveys by Florida citrus groups indicate the following with regard to size of the crop: oranges up | slightly over last season’s record | 78,900,000 boxes; grapefruit slight- | ly less than the 36 million boxes for 1951-52; and tangerines about the same as last season's 4% mil- lion boxes. The first official estimate of the U. S. Department of Agriculture won't be out until Oct. 10. One of the brightest notes is the | small carryover of processed cit- | rus compared to last season. Not | only will this help move citrus canned in the coming season, but it also will mean a boost to fresh fruit sales. The Florida Citrus Commission is planning its biggest advertising outlay, with a budget of more than two million dollars and an expand- ed merchandising staff of 44 men. Florida Citrus Mutual, the super- co-operative which embraces most of the state’s growers, packers and processors, has reorganized along lines it hopes will straighten out the kinks in its operations last season, The Federal Citrus Marketing | | grading standards allowing skin discoloration. iii STEVENSON SAYS (@ontinued from Page One) | letters, were mostly very kind, | expressing satisfaction and approv- | al with my campaign to date.” 3.

He does not endorse all the | Democratic candidates for election this year. “I will endorse indivi- duals.” 6. He does not know the points of disagreement between himself and Sen. Harry Byrd of Virginia. | Stevenson expressed the utmost regard for Sen. Byrd as a public servant. “I respect his anxiety to | reduce the cost of government. I respect his integrity. I would be the first to assert his right to | disagree wherever he chooses.” Agreement Committees, which set size and grade regulations for Florida fruit leaving the state, | have drawn up rules for the sea- son’s first shipments. Those shipments will carry brighter, cleaner fruit this year as a result of new federal and state less Packers also will have their choice of shipping in the old nine standard sizes or by a new five- size system which advocates say is cheaper, easier and more ac- ceptable to the northern trade.
