Appeal Directed
To Young People
DENVER, June 27. — (AP) —
General Dwigh/ “isenhower, in
‘a speech dire¢/ S_-? umarily to the
'youth of Am¢ T 2 ast night made
a bitter atty £ jon the Demo
cratic admi hg ion for its easy
ethics at b & nd its indulgence
of commy 5 ibroad.
Speaki/ ii“ 1 large and enthus
jastic & &~ 2 in the Denver
Colisev & r announcing he was
going to Cuucage to fight person
ally for the Republican presiden
tial nomination, Eisenhower said
the “moral issue” of the campaign
was the removal of corruption
from the government in Washing~
ton.
Misplaced Trust
Moreover, he blamed the admin
istration’s “misplaced trust in the
USSR” for our loss of China, a
divided and almost naked Ger
many, the enslaved countries of
the Baltic, and the long and bloody
struggle in Greece.
“Today the consequences of that
misplaced trust come home to all
of us,” he said, “in the war in
Korea. If we had been less trust
ing, if we had beer less soft and
weak, there probably would have
been no war in Korea.”
The former commander of the
North Atlantic Treaty forces in
Paris emphasized the need for
moral purpose in the conduct of
the nagon’s affairs at home.
“The youth of America,” he
said, would demand the return of
honesty to our national govern
ment. After the spectacle of the
past few years, he said, the young
people of this country were sick
at heart and cynical.
“We have had corruption be
fore,” he said, “but never before
has it erached such epidemic pro
portions. In a little more than 12
months of this year#and last, 175
persons in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue alone were fired for dis
honesty and other improper activi
ties.”
And that didn’t include, he
added, acidly, “thoges who were
allowed .t quit ‘because of ill
health’.”
In his fourth major address
since returning from Paris almost
a month ago, General Eisenhower
gave credit to Congress “and es
pecially to the persistence, the in
sistence and the determination of
the Republican members of Con
gress,” for exposing corruption in
the Truman administration.
Ultimate Blame
“Let us put the ultimate blame,”
he declared, “exactly where it be
longs, on the complacency, negli
gence and cynicism of a party
and men too long in power. The
integrity of public office has more
than onice been sacrificed on the
altar of political self-interest.”
1t was the “great opportunity”
of the Republican Party, General
Eisenhower continued, not to tear
down that altar.
«Here is the moral issue of this
campaign,” he declared. “We can
trust the idealism and-energy of
youth for support in meeting this
issue.”
Reverting to the problem of
communism at home and abroad,
the candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination said he
felt communism must be meas
ured and dealt with at home.
PRISON RIOT
EDDYVILLE, Ky., June 27.—
(AP)—The second mutiny within
94 hours broke out at the state
prison today, but guards restored
order within a half hour.
Warden Jess Buchanan report
ed no one was injured, in con
trast with yesterday’s rebellion in
which eight prisoners were woun
ded by gunfire and a guard was
inijured.
Takes Big Sli
PITTSBURGH, June 27.—(AP)
—The nation-wide steel strike,
taking a bigger bite out of the
country’s economy each day, al
ready has cost the steel companies
nearly a billion dollars in lost
production.
Vitally needed steel, the life
blood of industrial America, sells
at sllO a ton. Since Philip Murray
ordered 650,000 of his CIO United
Steelworkers to strike June 2
nearly 10 million tons of produc
tion have been lost.
Cost to Nation
It is impossible to guess how
much the swrike has cost America
in dollars aud cents. It's now bit
ing almost all sections of the
economy.
And one official, Clarence B.
Randall, president of Inland Steel
Company, feels there isn’t a
chance for a compromise on one
of the most important issues—the
union shop. :
In a statemrent at East Chicago,
Ind., yesterday Randall termed the
union’s demand for a union shop
the only issue in the present
strike.
He said six major steel produe~
ers turned down a possible com
promise union shop proposal “be
cause™it involves compulsion.”
A union shop would require
every steel worker to become a
union member.
Blames Truman
Randall also said President Tru
man is responsible for the halt in
steel production because the Pres
ident’s “assurance” gave Murray
courage to call the strike.
He referred to a statement made
by Murray Sunday in which the
steelworker president said Tru
man told him last December there
would not be a Taft-Hartley Act
injunction if the union postponed
the strike it had scheduled for
January 1.
In addition to the strikers,
about 230,320 workers in allied
industries either have been' laid
off or have gotten word they will
be furloughed within the next few
days. s
Lower Profit
Among industries expecting
lower profits for the second quar
ter are railroads, which are losing
thousands of tonsg of freight.
Business experts say there’s
hardly a segment of the economy
which won't suffer if the strike
lasts much longer.
Automotive circles in Detroit
are preparing to idle more work=
ers in addition to the approxi
mately 25.000 laid off or given
furlough orders so far.
Automotive News, a trade pub
lication, says the steel crisis will
take “its first big bite out of final
assembly operations” in a few
days.

ture of a woman bathing, and a

TEMPERATURE HITS 100; SAME
IS -PREDICTED. FOR TOMORROW
Although its been considered a last-effort as & conversation
piece in the past, the weather is taking number one spot as subject
matter around the nation today,
From the Associated Press in Atlanta comes this quote from
the weather man, “If you want to keep cool, just empty your ice
box and crawl in.” That's just about the sum and substance of the
answer to the oft-repeated query, “Any relief in sight?”
A conversation with the Athens Weather Bureau this morning
disclosed a fact that all suspected —the thermometer shot up to
the 100 mark yesterday afternoon at about 3:15 and hung around
that point for about an hour before it began a slow descent that
barely reached into the 70’s last evening. And the prediction for
today’s and tomorrow’s high point indicates that temperatures will
climb to that mark again. The Bureau stated further that there is
little chance for relief for the next few days at least. They did dis
close, however, that there is a cold front wandering around in the
New England states, but there is no hope at all that it will send its
soothing breezes into this section any time soon.
Throughout the Classic City, citizens were making an almost
futile attempt to find some relatively cool spot. Firms handling
electriqal appliances report that there has been a noticeable in

Politics Grow Steadily
Dizzier As Confab Nears
By The Associated Press
General Dwight Eisenhower,
stepping up his drive for the Re
publican presidential nonrination,
teed off on the Democrats as too
long in power and jaded by “com
placency, uegligence and cyni
cism.”
His speech before an audience |
of 11,000 in Denver’s Coliseum last |
night — radio - proadcast nation- |
wide — was beamed especially at |
the nation’s youth. They are sick- |
ened, he soid, by “epidemic” cor
ruption in high places but will|
meet moral issues of the cam
paign with idealism and energy. l
Eisenhower said the United
States has handled Russia too gin
gerly. Less softness, he said,
might have prevented the Korean
conflict and kept China and Bal
kan and Baltic states from slip=-
ping behind the Iron Curtain,
Answer to Taft l
The speech came almost as an
answer to statements earlier in
the day by Eisenhower’s chief
rival for the GOP nomination,
Ohio Senator Robert Taft.
“T am afraid,” Taft told a Wash
ington news conference, “that
Eisenhower's backers would urge
him to conduct the kind of cam
paign that Dewey conducted.”
New York Governor Thomas
Dewey’s loss to President Truman
in 1948 has been blamed on “me
too” tactics which lacked fight.
Dewq is working now for l(i:}ige;-
er’s ngtion at the GOP’s

Taft’s campaign manager, David
Ingalls, said yesterday his nran
just about has the nomination
sewed up anyway. In a statement
he credited Taft with all but three
of the €O4 delegate votes needed

U. N. infantrymen drove two

Controls Slated
To End Monday
WASHINGTON June 27 (AP)
—Administration forces threw all
their strength today behind a last
gasp effort to keep prices and
wages under government control.
A committee of senators and
House members was called into
session behind closed doors to
draft a final controls bill after
the House voted, 211 to 185, to:
I—Wipe out just about all price
controls at midnight next Monday.
2—End rent controls in a great

Time Short
Time was short. Unless the con
ferees agree on controls legisla
tion acceptable to both the Senate
and the House, and unless both
houses pass the final bill, all con
trols expire Monday midnight.
They may expire then anyway.
President Truman may not sign
the bill Congress sends him.
The House bill, while ending
price and rent controls, weould
keep most wage ceilings in force.
It differs greatly from the Sen
ate’s bill, which would keep price
and wage controls—as well as rent
controls—in existence,
And Sen. Maybank (D-SC),
heading the Senate conferees,
went into the session with the
House delegates in no mood to back
down from the Senate’s position.
Single Agreement
About the only area of general
agreement between the Senate
and the House, as expressed in
their separately—passed bills, is
that President Truman should try
to halt the 26-day-old steel strike
with a Taft-Hartley law injunc
tion. This would ban a strike for
80 days.
Both Senate and House voted
to ‘“request” President Truman
to use this provision. He says he
is considering it but can’t be forced
by Congress to invoke it,
There is general agreement be
tween the two branches, too, on
continuance of present powers to
allocate and put priorities on
scarce materials.
But from there on, there is sharp
disagreement. Conferees may be
forced to recommend that Congress
keep the present law alive a few.
