THE KEY WEST CHTIZEN Korean Question Pro ST e Wes Whew s Fuel Last Spurt In Presidential EISENHOWER STUMPS * SIDEWALKS OF N. Y. | Cookies For The Chief WHILE ADLAI WOOS | THE LABOR VOTE Ry The Associated Press forea was providing the fuel to- day for the last-lap spurt in the presidential derby. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. pledging in speech after speech to seek an end to the Korean con- flict, just as consistently was being accused by Gov. Adlai Stevenson and President Truman of playing Politics with peace to win votes. Eisenhower, the Republican pr. idential candidate, continued campaign in the New York area where yesterday he repeated prom ises to visit Korea, if elected, to see what could be done to end hoz tilities there. Last night the general released art of 2 letter from Lt. Gen ames A. Van Fleet, United Na- tions 8th Army commander, saying the South Korean Army was in “apple pie” order and if more fflouth Koreans would be brought into service, American divisions could be released. Eisenhower said this supported fis own recommendations that this be done. Gov. Stevenson, the Democratic candidate, wooing laber votes in Pennsylvania for a second day, ; Ditterly denounced Eisenhower's } proposals as a cynical search for | GIRL SCOUTS SELL A BAG OF COOKIES to Chief of Police making their drive for customer y coukies during the annual G salesladies are Diane Jenkins, T: hamper UL Commeree Says ‘Business Is Up Local Post Office, Receipts Electricity Has More Than Doubled Doubled __ post-office doubled incoming cars and doubled | use of electricity in Key West are jsigns of the city’s phenon enal | growth in the past five years, the !Chamber of Commerce newsletter Trends showed today.

While these indicators of pros | perity have risen, building per- | mits are just about holding their own. Last August $237,941 valua- tion was placed on construction and repair permits issued.

President Truman used the same fone with different words: he talled the general’s proposals ‘low down tricks" to win Nov. 4 ballots. Sen. John J. Sparkman, the vice- | ‘presidential candidate, and his GOP opponent, Sen. Richard Nixon, beamed their campaign oratory at ‘the little man, the average Ameri- tan, with promises of better living standards--if their party won. And again radio and television fans have a chance to tune in on the political stars: Eisenhower scheduled an address a. 10 p. m. over both radio and TV, followed half an hour later by Truman over similar mediums. Stevenson makes a transcribed address to women at 3:45 p. m., ind Sparkman speaks at 9:30 p. m. rer a radio network, Eisenhower today stumped the ‘Bidewalks of New York with Van Fleet's letter, contending it backed sup his argument that South Ko- reans are potentially capable of | Troop Twelve. } |.

Eisenhower, in a speech last night, produced Van Fleet's let- ter “to show you that I am not talking about something that is an impossible proposition.” Stevenson, wooing Pennsylvania's 32 electoral votes as a new wave of optimism swept his camp, quoted the New York Times as “saying one of ‘Eisenhower's speech writers originated the go-to-Korea idea to give the GOP campaign a “lift” which, the governor added, “it sure needed." “Such a cynical search for votes will neither resolve our problems ,hor win the election,” Stevenson _ said, “I certainly could not object to the general's going to Korea, but what worries me is what he will do when he gets there.” The Democratic candidate drew big and cheering crowds through- out the Pennsylvania hard - coal mining area. He makes a major speech tonight in Pittsburgh President Truman mixed scorn with sarcasm as he moved through the Midwest. “No general order is going to eliminate our problems,” Truman said in Chicago last night. “No superman is going to solve our difficulties for us. And anybody who poses and talks like a super Than is just a. plain fraud.” The President said most people blame the Korean fighting on “the evil designs of the Kremlin” but he said enhower, “just as easy as falling off a log” has changed facts of history” by trying to on the State Department Truman whistlestops through Michigan teday, climaxing a full day with a major address tonight at Detroit.
