Missouri Senate Campaign Is Turning Into Political Brawl By LARRY HALL JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (#—A fight for President Truman’s old Senate seat has turned into one of the roughest political brawls Miss souri has seen in years. In one corner: Republican Sen, James P. Kem, 62, white-haired and serious, a lawyer by profes- sion. In the other corner: Stuart Sym- | ington, 51, ~>rsonable St. Louis businessman and former govern-| ment trouble-shooter. They have waged a hard, name- calling campaign. Kem says Symington “is not a $ percenter—he is a 500 percent- et,” He charges Symington made | i Money out of war contracts and | dicipad some of his friends to “feather their nests too.” Symington says, “Everyone knows Kem is the outstanding re- actionary and isolationist in the Senate.” He charges Kem “is throwing up a smoke screen to hide his own miserable record as a senator.” Three times the men have met in debate, twice on planned pro- grams. The other time it was a battle of sound trueks when their campaign trails crossed accident- ly in a hill country town. The ap- |plause has been about equal on these occasions. Kem won his way to the Senate in the off-year election of 1946. This year, he won renomination Hungarian Communists Have Completed 3rd “ By ENDRE MARTON BUDAPEST, Hungary (# — Hun- gary’s Communist government has just completed its third ‘peace loan” drive. The finance minister announced that 1,752,683,200 forints ($145,472,706) was subscribed, There was little difference be- tween this and the state loans raised every fall since 1949, But “the enemy” was attacked in the press more sharply than ever before. The first day of the drive the newspaper Esti Budapest singled out one Laszlo Csiszar, a turner fm the Beloyannis factory (former subsidiary of the International Telephone and Telegraph Com- pany), who was charged with per- suading other workers not to sub- scribe, Before long, the paper said, Csiszar’s desk was heaped with “Bible commentaries and various mystic trash” (presumably by more loyal workers who objected to his activities). articles followed every ie enemy” apparently was - een in an appalling number of trial plants. It usually turned out that he or she was the off- , Spring of a kulak (rich farmer), a former reactionary element dis- guised as a worker, or a “rightist” Social Democrat who had wormed his way into the ranks of the workers, The press described how sum- .

Meetings were suimmoned in the factories, someone made a speech unmasking the unhappy character, a board was fastened to his back labeling him “enemy” or “traitor,” and he was shoved out$ide the factory gates. There was another means of mild pressure this year. The care- takers of apartments got orders to put up a board at the entrance of the house listing the name of all adult tenants, together with the amounts they had Naturally no one liked to see his name listed with a blank under the “amount” column. The subscription is supposed to be strictly on a voluntarily basis. Nevertheless, practically .every- body who has a job or a pension, and even housewives who have no independent income, subscribe to the loan, How the state loan affects the pocket of the average working man may be seen from the example of a low level clerk drawing 1,000 forints a month, If he subseribes a full month’s salary, his monthly sary from October through July will amount to 875 forints, One hundred forints will be deducted for his peace loan installment, 10 forints for income tax and 15 forints for trade union dues. Union dues have to be paid by everyone, whether manual or white collar worker. subscribed. 4 “by-pass” engine. It produces its easily. He had only token oppos!- tion. But Symington had to win his nomination the hard way. He beat Missouri Atty. Gen. J. E, Taylor by 187,000 votes although Taylor had Président Truman’s endorse- ment. Since then, the President has endorsed Symington. And Kem has | been endorsed by the Republican presidential nominee, Dwight D. | Eisenhower. Both men have been successful | in their chosen fields—Kem as a! corporation lawyer in Kansas City, Symington as former president of Ererson Electric Company in St. Louis. | In the Senate, Kem has been a | persistent foe of administration measures, both on foreign and | domestic issues. In his campaign | he has opposed foreign aid on the | present scale and says the big issue is to “restore honest, decent government in Washington.” In Washington Symington was chairman of the Surplus Property Board, assistant secretary of war | for air, first secretary of the Air Force, chairman of the National Security Resources Board, and finally ‘“‘cleanup” man of the Re- construction Finance Corporation. He says Kem is presenting a “pitifully negative’ record to the voters.
