Labor Day Merry-Go-Round
Political Leaders Sound Off
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
President Truman and the Democrat who wants to suc
ceed him in the White House, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illi
nois, kicked off the fall campaign for their party yesterday
with a pair of speeches in Milwaukee and Detroit.
Truman told a CIO-AFL rally in Milwaukee that the
Republican record is one “of constant, nagging opposition to
all the great progressive measures that our country has
adopted in the past 20 years.”
Stevenson, addressing a large crowd in Detroit’s Cad
illac Square, urged that the Taft-Hartley labor law be dump
ed and replaced with an act containing “a minimum of law”
controlling labor and management relations.
Ike Keeps Powder Dry
The two Democratic leaders had the center of the stage
on Labor Day, but Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republi
can presidential nominee, was keeping his powder dry for a
two-day assault on Democratic strongholds in the South.

His running mate, Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California,
was busily preparing for a whirlwind sweep through New
England starting today and winding up Saturday.
Eisenhower made an informal talk to the National As
sociation of Letter Carriers in New York yesterday and prom
ised all government civil service workers that they would get
a square deal if he were elected president.
“Lonely, Captive Candidate”
Truman, in his address at the Wisconsin industrial cen- p olicies which will govern active
ter, called Eisenhower the Republicans’ “lonely, captive can- duty training- of Army reservists
didate” and said if the Republicans didn’t “wake up and
Eisenhower informed the letter carriers that he was for
a more efficient postal service, with more frequent deliveries
of mail. On job security, he added: '
“No one could say I was fair if on the instant that the
Republican party went into power I should authorize or con
dole any discharge of a hard-working civil service employee.”
Sen. Frank Carlson, R-Kan., one of Eisenhower’s top
advisers, also spoke to the mailmen and pledged that no
classified civil service federal employee would be discharged
as the result of a Republican victory in November.
Sparkman Attacks Labor Law
The Democratic vice presidential nominee, Sen. John
Sparkman of Alabama, also chose Labor Day to attack the
Taft-Hartley Law.
In a speech prepared for picnicking union men in Whit
tier, Calif., he called the law “a subtle attempt to sabotage
union organization” and said it would be amended to meet
the legitimate objections of workers.
Sen. Richard M. Nixon'of California, the GOP candidate
for vice president, was busy in Washington preparing for
a six-day swing through New England. He is scheduled to
arrive in Waterville, Me., today.

national election.
In what many took to be a reference to Sen. Joseph R.
McCarthy, seeking renomination on the Republican ticket in
Wisconsin this month, Truman urged his audience to return
to the progressive tradition of the LaFollettes “and elect a
United States senator you can be proud of.”
McCarthy charged over the week-end that one of the
President’s purposes in coming to Milwaukee was to try and
defeat him for re-election.
