Adlai E Stevenson promised to to deal “ruthlessly” with corrupiion in government if he is elected pres- ident. The Illinois governor brought his campaign into politically doubt- ful Florida today after New Or- leans recorded mixed reaction | night to his firm stand for civil rights legislation and against giv ing the states title to the oil-rich submerged coastal Jands. Barging into the tough issues Republicans have raised against him, the Democratic presidential nominee likened Miami's cleanup action in gambling seandals to steps he had taken in Illinois. He promised to ‘‘follow the same pat- tern of action in Washington,” if he wins on Nov. 4. “You have been touched scandals bred by an unsavory ance between a national ¢ syndicate and the semi-legitim operators who cluster around the fringes of the entertainment busi ness,” Stevenson said in a talk prepared for a party rally at Bay Front Park. “But I was pleased to see that you have learned the practic lesson taught me in my .time as governor of Jllinois—that corrup- tion will not wait for leisurely at tention. “It must be attacked «by those in authority and it must be ruth- lessly rooted out before it has a chance to fester and moving in Miami as I have in Ulinois and I pledge you that 1} | cheer will follow the same pattern of action in Washington.” Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, Republican presidential nominee has made alleged corruption in government one of his chief talk- ing points in the campaign. Other Republicans: have aimed barbs at Stevenson for disclosures that horsemeat was sold as beef in Ulinois and that state tax stamps were counterfeited. Stevenson said he knew that honest criticism could be made of the Democratic. national adminis: tration. “I claim that our Democratic leaders are and have been pretty good human beings—but I make no claim to infallibility on their behalf.” ; As he did campaigning in boma and Louisiang yester , the Iinois governor emt 224 what he said were Democra stributions to the country’ nerity.
