Many were forced to | call in emergency crews. | Newspapers over the country | were deluged with request for the , address of the GOP national head- quarters — something Nixon for- got to mention. Many people telephoned Wash- ington rather than send telegrams, | saying Western Union was too swamped to take their messages. Others wired Nixon or Eisenhower | direct. Many wanted to give mon- ey to a “Nixon fund”. Some wom- en were crying as they called for the GOP address. Others said Nixon ought to be running for president. In political circles reaction fol- lowed party lines, on the whole. Eisenhower indicated to a Cleve- | land audience, which earlier had ; | heard Nixon’s dramatic plea, that | he favored keeping his young run- ning mate. Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Dem- ocratic presidential nominee, who earlier had urged the American public to withhold criticizing Nix- |, on until the facts were known, withheld his own comment in Bal. timore last night. Sen. Olin D. Johnston, South Carolina Democrat, said Nixon | did not ‘‘answer the questions that people want to know.” No matter | what happens, he said, the party | has been hurt. “If Nixon resigns it would upset the ticket, if he | doesn’t it weakens the corruption issue.’ Gov. Thomas Dewey of New York called Nixon’s talk “‘a superb statement by a man of shining integrity and great purpose in the service of his country.” : Other comment: Rep. Albert Gore, Tennessee Democrat — Nixon fanned out. He struck out when he didn’t say what the fund was for. . The best service the Republican party could do would be to accept his resig- nation Sen.

Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, Illinois Republican — Nixon’s speech will go deep into the hearts of the American people. . . . I wonder if | the candidates on the other side | will do likewise and clarify the charges leveled at them. These were typical comments of the Republican National Commit- teemen: McIntyre Faries, California — I think Nixon certainly proved himself by his speech. All ques- tions about his integrity were an- swered 100 per cent. Jess Gard, Oregon — Dick has made a complete admission of all | his financial affairs and has fully exonerated himself as far as the money is concerned. Harry Darby, Kansas — ¥ am sure American people accepted the explanation as not only complete but satisfying.” David ‘T. Martin, Nebraska— “Nebraska Republicans demand | that Sen. Nixon remain on ticket.” G. Mason Owlett, Pennsylvania— The attempt to smear Nixon will be a tremendous boomerang against the Democrats.” Several others said they would rather not comment as yet. On the other hand: Mayor David L, Lawrenee of Pittsburgh, a member of the Dem- ocratic National Committee, said “Nixon made a very weak case | for himself. He didn’t give a break- down of the fund.” The public reaction was spon- taneous in every nook and cor- ner of the country.
