Taft's home state of Ohio, Mr. TVuman said ,at Toledo that “the Republican candidate thought that if he could divide the country, and turn people against the fight for freedom in Korea, he might pick up votes.” “It was a reckless and cynical act that could only weaken the free world—but he tried to pull it,” Mr. Truman said. TRUMAN FAVORS CONTROL The President also charged that “the cost of living is higher than it ought to be, because the Republi cans in Congress knifed controls.” But, Mr. Truman said, “most people are better off than they ever were before,” because of pros perity credited mainly to Demo cratic domestic policies. On the Korean issue, Mr. Truman said that Eisenhower “even went so far, in his Detroit speech, as to deliberately misquote and falsi fy the record” on who was res ponsible for withdrawal of U.

(Bill) Johnson, chairman ot the Harnett County Democratic Executive Committee declared today “I feel sure that Democrats will win in all offices, all a long the line,’ he said. The County Chairman said that except for a few defections in some sections where there has been a good deal of activity in favor of Eisenhower, there should be little Republican support, even on the national ticket. “There has been no activity of this kind at all in Lillington as far as I have been able to de termine,” he sai.d URGES BIG VOTE The many get-out-the-vote cam paigns on the part of the various organizations throughout the coun ty, should assure a record turn out at the polls on Tuesday, John son believes.

In the 1948 election, President Stevenson Attacks Ike Very Bitterly ABOARD STEVENSON SPECIAL HP' The presi dential campaign train of Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson rolled eastward without its candidate today. The Illinois governor dropped his campaign as Democratic presiden tial candidate to fly home and try to settle a riot in the state prison at Menard. The campaign rein was left in charge of aides and supporters for a swing across West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware with the candidate hoping he could be back in time for a six-speech schedule in New York topped by a major appearance in the Brooklyn Acad emy of Music. Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, a campaign adviser, was pressed into service to appear on behalf of the candidate at whis tle stops along the way.

They said Hill hit ; Lowejolm with his fists twice and that Lowejolm slumped over dead. r Efforts also were being made to get Vice President Aiben Berkley as a stand-in. Stevenson, accompanied by a few aides and representatives of the three major press associations, took off for St. Louis in a per sonal effort to settle the prison riot shortly after a speech in Pittsburgh Thursday night wind ing up a two-day tour bidding for Pennsylvania’s 32 electoral votes.
