GENERAL
(Continued From Page t-A)
larations on the two central
themes.
The general said that, at the be-
ginning of his campaign, profes-
sional politicians had briefed him
aad told him not to look for sup-
port from any southern states. He
quoted them as saying "southern
states—no matter how much they
are kicked around by the admin-
istration—are used to it, they are
ia the bag "
A volley of “Noes’ swelled up
from the throng facing him.
To each of four or five state-
ments along the same lines, a
storm of “No, No" came back.
Similarly, when the general repeat,
ed some parts of his New Orleans
speech, declaring himself flatly for
state ownership of lands beneath
the water, the applause was ter-
rific.
The administration decided it
wants to get a hold of those lands
because they have become valu-
able," said Eisenhower. “Oil de-
posits have been tapped on the tid-
al shelfs offshore.
“The question is,” he asked, “are
they going to get away with it?”
While stressing the states’ rights
themes that are weighed with po-
litical importance all through the
South, the general also sounded
some notes that Texans like to
hear. He brought out the World
War n equip—“I met at least a
dozen Texans who were willing to
admit that the other 47 states, with
the help of Texas, could win the
war."
He praised the fighting quality
of the people of this atoto and men-
tioned San Jacinto and some other
milestones in the history of Texas.
His reward was a warm, friend-
ly reaction from the crowd.
Eisenhower’s personal popular-
ity, * major factor in an sections
of the country, is particularly im-
portant in Texas He was born in
Denison, and is a native son so far
as most people here are concerned

poses? Must our credit for using
our capitalist system wisely and
humanely be undermined in Eu-
ree and by Gee Eisenhower of
all men? Must our proud all -
Amercan achievement be pletured
as a Democratic party plot?
“This must be somewhere near
the low-water mart la the great
American business of vote-getting,
which has too often yielded more
noise than light
"My friends, we dare not under-
| play our national greatness for
these mean motives "
RAPE MUDSLINGERS
Stevenson banged away again at
“character assasins and slander-
ers in the Congress af the.United
1 States" He didn't name names,
but in cutting loose similarly to
i the past he has singled out suen
OOP senators as Joseph McCarthy
of Wisconsin and William E. Jen-
ner of Indiana. Elsenhower has en-
dorsed them and all other Repub.
liean nominees.
Alluding to congressional im-
munity from legal action in the
case of lawmaker's statements in
Congress, Stevenson said:
