Kefauver Raps
Living Costs in
Maryland Talk
Blames Eisenhower
For Soaring Prices
That Eat Up Income
By ROBERT K. WALSH
Bur Staff Correspondent
EN ROUTE WITH KEFAU
VER, Oct. 27.—Maryland’s first
hand look at Senator Estes
Kefauver’s cross-country cam
paign' saw the Democratic vice
presidential candidate blame the
Eisenhower administration for
“soaring prices that eat up your
income as fast or faster than it
comes in."
“You are also having to run
faster and faster to stay in the
same place,” he said.in a speech
prepared for delivery about noon
at Hagerstown.
Crossing the State from Wil
liamsport. Hagerstown and Fred
erick to Timonium. Baltimore
and Glen Burnie in his first all
out formal visit of the campaign,'
Senator Kefauver tied in the rise!
in the cost of living with the!
drop in income for Maryland
dairy farmers.
Caught in Squrpze
“As usual the farmer is caught
in the worst squeeze." he said.
“Contrast what has been hap
pening to the cost of living with
what has been happening to the
prices that Maryland farmers
get for the things they sell.
Dairy products are Maryland's
most important farm product.
The price of milk to the con
sumer has gone up. But. Mary
land farmers averaged 2 cents
a quart less for the milk they ■
sold this month than they were
getting four years ago.”
The Tennessee Senator cited
similar or still greater drops he 1
said have hurt Maryland farm
eis. poultrymen and hog raisers. ]
He put the principal blame on ,
what he called Secretary of Ag- ■
riculture Benson's “reckless" j
spending and mismanagement.
His treatment of the cost of ,
living was even more biting than ,
in a similar speech he made in
Reading, Pa., last night at a .
sls-a-p!ate dinner that marked ,
the finale of his 1956 campaign j
in the Keystone State.

issue and lost no opportunity
to continue a determined effort
to make voters appreciate pie
cisely what Adlai Stevenson pro
posed about United States initia
tive toward ending H-bomb
tests.
Tne cost of living talk at
Hagerstown was pitched on a
broad plane as affecting workers,
farmers, middle income groups
professional people and specific <
Maryland industries such as
aircraft manufacturing. He
charged the Eisenhower admin- li
istration was responsible sot :

Campaign Leaders
Spark Final Push
Workers in the fast-closing

today prepared a final push for ,
the goal before the Wednesday
noon deadline.
Latest figures showed the cam
paign just over the $5 million
mark, but still quite a distance 1
from the $6.6 million target.
Campaign leaders railed on
workers up and down the line to
respond. They said contribu
tions still uncollected or unso- ”
licited from persons “eager to |
give” would put the drive well 1
over the top.

Grim Stevenson
Turns Slugger
In Last Rounds
Candidate Quits
His Fancy Jabbing,
Tries for Knockout
By CROSBY S. NOYES
Star Stan Corrrspondrnt
EN ROUTE WITH STEVEN
SON, Oct. 27.—Adlai Stevenson
stepped up his efforts today to
blast the American people off
a political axis which appears
tilted stubbornly toward the Re
publicans.
In this closing round of the
campaign, the skillful boxer;
has become a slugger. The
graceful jabbing and the fancy
footwork are gone now. Flat
footed and grim, with a new
kind of reckless determination,
lie swings his round-house rights
from the floor, hoping for a
last-minute knockout punch 1
that will mean the difference
between defeat and victory.
So. at least, it seems to many
of those who have followed the
Democratic candidate on his
latest roast-to-coast tour from
New York to California. For
the reporters, it lias been an
easy tour, with fresh, headline
making explosions at nearly
every stop along the way. But
for those who admire Mr Ste
venson. there is also something
almost painful in the rising note
of intemperance that lings
through his most recent appeals.
Staff Showing Concern
Even Mr Stevenson's staff is
beginning to show some concern |
that their candidate may say
something that he will regret.
Clayton Fritchey, Mr. Steven
son's press chief, went to some;
pains yesterday to correct any
possible ’erroneous impression'
that might have been inferred
from Mr. Stevenson's new state
ment about a cobalt bomb
What Mr. Stevenson seemed to
say, according to the understand
ing of nearly everyone who heard
him in Rock Island, was that an.
explosion of a cobalt bomb ia
hydrogen bomb with a cobalt
casing) could shake the earth off
its axis. Predicting that Russia
might soon close the gap of
American superiority in hydro
gen weapons. Mr. Stevenson <ac- -
cording to his own text' said:
“What does Mr. Eisenhower
propose then? What then? That
we go ahead with the develop
ment of the cobalt bomb to try I
to gain another advantage—a
force that can shake the earth
off its axis?”
Later. Mr. Fritchey explained
that Mr. Stevenson didn't mean
that the cobalt bomb could shake
the earth off its axis. It was an
error of punctuation. There
should have been a stop in place
of a dash. The force that could
shake the world was not the
cobalt bomb, but some new, even
more terrible “force” that might
come after.
Drawing Lurid Picture
To some reporters, it seemed
that Mr. Fritchey was laboring
the point unnecessarily. What
ever Mr. Stevenson may have
actually meant, it was clear
enough that he intended to draw
the most lurid possible picture
and still stay within the outer
limits of credibility. And many ,
are beginning to wonder if this
kind of statement, designed. I
along with talk of “bone-cancer
deformed children and sterility,” I
to chill spines rather than in
duce thought, may not end in

communist Hungarian troops.
Roof-to-roof fighting went on in the heart of Buda

| revolution. The Austrians were embraced and told “We
j are brothers aeain.”
“This is the most remarkable thing in 12 years.”
| Austrian police said in a border interview. “It seems
| that the Hungarian Communist, control forces have
been withdrawn to the interior to help fight the rebels.
Their old watch towers are emptv. This border appears
in control of the revolutionaries.”
Nagy Rumored Under Arrest
The Hungarians reported rumors that the Russians
j were forcing Mr. Nagy at pistol point to make his
\ announcements to the Hungarian people, even that he
! had been arrested and that the Russians had taken
: over complete command in Budapest,
Mr. Nagy’s desperate bid to answer Hungarian de
mands for administrative reforms was broadcast by
Radio Budapest even as rebel groups told newsmen at

The list included Bela Kovacs, former head of the
[Smallholders Party and a non-Communist who has done
’time in both Russian and Hungarian prisons for failure
to follow the Moscow line. He was named Agriculture
Minister.
Ex-President in Cabinet
Ex-President Zoltan Tildy, another Smallholder
under house arrest from 1948 to last summer, became
Minister of State Affairs. The new Health Minister,
Antal Babies, is a university professor publicly known
to be a close friend of Peter Gabor, Hungarian security
chief now under arrest.
The Defense Ministry, a hot spot now, went to
Karoly Janza, a Communist regarded as moderate.
Radio Budapest declared in its noon broadcast
“rebel resistance inside Budapest has been broken.” It
said many rebels had surrendered and had been given
amnesty.
“Russian and Hungarian troops are clearing the
streets to liquidate the last resistance,” it added.

But the Communist broadcasting station had made
the same declaration several times before while the
rebels fought on—in the streets, in the factories, in
private homes and from the city’s roofs,

pleaded in a broadcast that priority in supplies of bread
