The Battalion .... College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Wednesday, October 3, 1956 Politics In U.S. Rep ublica ns Democrats SYRACUSE, N. Y., <A>> _ Vice President Nixon yesterday ac cused Adlai Stevenson of “resort ing’ to the flim-flam game of cov ering up a weakness by attacking the strength of his opponent.” In a speech prepared for deliv ery at the Syracuse Press Club Nixon said the Democrats’ presi dential nominee “topped the world’s record for demagoguery when he attacked the Eisenhower admini stration on the cost of living issue.” “This maneuver,” he said, “will fall flat on its face because the millions of American housewives who keep the family savings budg et can’t be fooled by fancy phras es and clever quips. “The Eisenhower administra tion took the wage earner off the Truman treadmill on which, no matter how fast he ran, he always fell behind The Stevenson pro gram for the future, just like the Truman program which it so closely resembles, is based on in flation and ‘pit in the sky.’ ” Nixon accused Stevenson, Sen. Estes Kefauver, Democratic vice- presidential nominee, and Truman of charging “directly and by in nuendo that the President and his administration are for the rich and against the poor—for large business and against the small— for the big man and against the little man.” “In the interest of everything that is decent and fine in our American tradition,” Nixon said, “this charge must be met head-on and nailed for what it is—a false and vicious idea which is alien to the basic traditions that have made America great—those who would divide America into classes are bringing to this land ideas which do not belong here and are rendering a terrible disserve to our country.” JERSEY CITY, N.J., <A>)—Adlai E. Stevenson accused President Eisenhower last nig’ht of four years of “words without action whenever human interests are at stake.” Stevenson delivered a sharp shooting attack on Eisenhower and a scattershot attack on the Republican party to climax a day which saw the presidential race turn a big corner. Eisenhower’s “wicked nonsense” crack at the Democrats brought Stevenson out, gloves off and catch as catch can. To be called non- senical was one thing, Stevenson said, but to be labeled wicked was another. At a rally on the historic green of Morristown, N. J., Stevenson said: “I am afraid that this is becom ing part of the political looseness, that previously was identified with the vice - presidential candidate Richard Nixon who always talks about the opponents in terms of ‘appeasement’ a n d ‘communism’ and ‘treachery’ and words like that. I do hope the vice-presiden tial taste for extreme and loose language is not becoming contag ious.” Aides said Stevenson’s strategy has been to “get Eisenhower off his pedestal” so their man can slug toe-to-toe with him on the issues. Eisenhower gave them the chance Monday at Cleveland when he said Democrats claims that only Democrats care for the working man were “wicked nonsense.” In his prepared talk, Stevenson said Eisenhower and his adminis tration gave the people nothing but “words—empty words” instead of action on foreign policy, slum clearance, schools and immigra tion. CADET SLOUCH by James Earle Q \ T~RI ,T 1NJ~~p AYRSHIRE By Ken George Pinky was in the MSC the other day and was telling a story that is supposed to be true. So since this column is dedicated to the truth (in some form), here is the story. Seems as though one of the pre season sportswriters was on the campus and chanced to meet Pinky. This same sportswriter decided to check and see if he could find any information connecting Pinky with A&M football. Mrs. Pinky seemed to be the one to interview so he went to the Pinky home and the following con versation took place. Writer—Mrs. Pinky, did Pinky ever play A&M football? Mrs. P.—No. At this point the writer decided another approach in the hopes of getting a good story pertaining to football. Writer—Mrs. Pinky, is Pinky religious ? Mrs. P.—Yes, he goes to church every Sunday. Writer—Does he pray? Mrs. P.—Yes, every night. Writer—Have you ever heard him pray ? Mrs. P.—Yes. Yankees Are Gathering To Converse In American By D.
