ADVERTISING COMICS AND FEATURES Says Democrats I Are Wrong In Voicing Gloom SPRINGFIELD, 111. (IP) President Eisenhower said today that the American people are “sick and tired of crooked - fence politics” evi denced in Democratic fore casts of a depression. The President made his sharp criticism of the Democratic pre dictions of an economic downturn as the start of a one-day political pilgrimage in crucial Illinois. His program opened with a visit to the tomb of Abraham Lincoln here and lunch with Gov. William G. Strat ton and Joseph Meek, the GOP candidate for the Senate. After lunch, speaking at Repub lican Day at the Illinois State Fair, the President made what was obviously an attack on the re cession forecasts of Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill), who is Meek’s op ponent. “PROPHETS OF DOOM” According to speech notes pre pared in advance, the President said he was “sick and tired of listening to the clack-clack of the prophets of doom.” He referred to a story told by Lincoln about a man who built such a crooked fence that hogs at tempting to get through the fence became so confused that they seemed to be coming out on the same side that they went in. The chief executive said he thought this story was applicable j today “because certain politicians, regardless of economic facts, seem to be coming out on the wrong side of the economic fence the side of depression.” The President said he thpught it would be best for the welfare of the nation if Illinois voters return ed Republicans to Congress in ever greater numbers, so they could be more effective in helping him put over the remainder of his program. CHURCH SPEECH LATER He flew here from Washington this morning and was to continue on to Evanston, 111., for an honor ary degree from Northwestern Uni versity and a speech before the World Council of Churches on the university campus. In his fair remarks, he dealt at some length with the congressional record under his Republican ad ministration. He reviewed briefly the fact that there is no present war in Korea, and that in Indochina, “where the settlement was not necessarily to i our liking, we are moving with our allies to the formation of a South , east Asia treaty organization.” He also noted with satisfaction , the fact that international hot spots at the Suez Canal, Iran, and . Guatemala had settled down satis , factorily. He also listed domestic accom plishments of his administration, particularly in the farm program, . tax reform and reduction and the b reduction of government expendi > tures by 10 billion dollars.

(International Sovndphotof Radio And TV Blamed For Youth Crime CHICAGO (UP) American Bar Association experts on crimin al law today blamed the current rash of teen-aged “thrill crimes" on glamorized vice on television, .adio and in comic books.
