It’s this: The campaign is un- folding like a good play, moving with increasing intensty toward a climax which even the experts, so wrong in 1948, don’t want to try to forecast. And Sen. Nixon’s predicament, sensational as it is, seems like only one act in the drama, no matter whether he stays or exits. For in the past day, in addi- tion to the Nixon case, the cam- paign took a turn which indcates a deepening bitterness. The needles which Stevenson be- gan jabbing into Eisenhower al- most from the beginning were hu- morously gentle when he first tried- them. But they gave way to thrusts that were acid-tipped. Eisenhower showed restraint in answering but yesterday—at the height of the Republicans’ concecn about the effect of the Nixon de- velopment on the election — he turned on Stevenson with sudden harshness. Sticking to his promise not to use names in the campaign, Eisen- bower became personal with Ste- venson in a statement saying, “We are tired of aristocratic explana- tions in Harvard accents.” if they could find a member who is both “willing and able”, accord- ing to the officers. Meanwhile the JayCees announc- ed that they have made final plan: except for speakers, on the debate between track President Abe Aron-| ovitz and the opponents to be held Thursday. The Jaycees are sponsoring the debate, just as they have sponsor-| ed local political rallies in the past. | The debate will start at 8 p. m., preceded by a concert by the Key} West High School band. At 7 p. m., a parade is planned.| It will form at South and Duval street at 7 p. m., proceed up Du- val to Eaton, out Eaton to White; down White to Southard; then to Simonton, down Simonton to Tru- man and out Truman to Bayview Park. All participants in the parade are invited to place signs on their au tomobiles designating whether they are for or against the dog track.

Adlai E. Stevenson promoted a cash fund from private individuals to augment salaries of some state officials was admitted by the Illi- nois governor last night. But, the Democratic presidential candidate said, there was nothing secretive or improper about such aid. Stevenson, in a statement in New York, said there never has been any secret about his trying to ease the financiai strain of men he in- duced to leave private employment to take state jobs. None of the men, Stevensor. said, was an elect- ed official or an office seeker. The governor’s statement was in reply to a charge made by Kent Chandler, a Chicago manufacturer in a telegram to Stevenson that he personally promoted a cash fund, made up of contributions from pri- vate citizens. Chandler, who served on the Citi- zens for Eisenhower Committee before the Republican convention said in his telegram that the fund “was paid to various of your of- ficial appointees to state jobs in order to supplement the salaries paid them by the state.” He asked Stevenson to disclose the names of the contributors and recipients and the amounts in- volved. Chandler said the governor had made known he favored such an assistance policy to him and others at the Chicago Commercial Club last April 23. Stevenson said last night he did not recall any such conversation with Chandler. Stevenson, who is in his first four-year term as governor, at that time had announced his candidacy for re-election. In his statement, Stevenson said, “there never has been any se- cret” about his views on such aid to state officials and that they en- tered public service at his urging and at personal sacrifice to them- selves. “There is no question of impro- per influence because there was no connection between the contribu- tors and the beneficiaries,” the governor’s statement said. He said the funds used were left over from the 1948 campaign for governor, plus later general eon- tributions. “During my administration 1 have never heard of any case of a promise, either direct or implied, of any favor in exchange for a contribution,” Stevenson said. ‘My orders were explicit and well known.” Chandler’s telegram to Steven- | son followed recent disclosure that | Sen. Richard Nixon, Republican vice presidential candidate, had accepted $18,235 in expense funds | from private sources. Chandler, who is vice chairman of A. B. Dick and Company, an office equipment firm, said in his telegram: “In view of the attack on Senator Nixon because of the privately | | raised fund and your campaign | manager’s ill-considered charges, it is your responsibility to state | publicly that this method of finan- | cially assisting public officials is | in keeping with the policy you ex- | pressed to a group of your friends, including myself at the Commer- ‘cial Club April 23 last.” Stephen A. Mitchell, Democratic national chairman, has _ publicly | called upon Nixon to resign as a | candidate. | Chandler, in his telegram asking | the governor disclose the names of the contributors and recipients and amounts involved, added: “Pro- vided, such monies are properly | used, there can be no just criticism | of this manner of assisting able | and intelligent men not blessed | with private incomes to serve their state and country.” | Chandler told a reporter that at the Commercial Club meeting Stevenson outlined his policy of us- ing private funds to supplement the pay of men ‘who were doing ex- cellent jobs and we all agreed it was a good idea.” | Before disclosure of Chandler's telegram and the governor's reply, there were denials of stories in the Chicago Tribune and the Cin- cinnati Enquirer that Stevenson, to | or your travel agen?

Donald Forsyth, a Springfield, Ill., insurance man and Downstate manager of Stevenson’s governor- ship campaign before he was nom- inated at the Democratic conven- tion, said no part of the governor campaign fund was spent on Ste- venson’s presidential campaign. Forsyth did not say how large the fund was but added Stevenson “never got a dime of the money for his presidential campaign fund.” Forsyth said some of the money was turned over to the present Democratic governor candidate, Sherwood Dixon, and the rest was used to wind up affairs of Steven- son’s governorship campaign head- quarters, PHARMACIST The most comptex organism ever created is the human body.
