Eisenhower tol(J cheer ing delegates to the American Le gion convention today he aims to “end corruption in public office, at every level of Government. The Republican presidential nominee struck out vigorously at the “climate of fear” he said over hangs the American preparedness program as hit has been directed bv the Truman administration. “Those afraid seek security in a heedless extravagance that breeds waste of substance and corruption of men,” he declared. He drew his biggest applause from a crowd of about 16,000 per sons, which failed to fill Madison Square Garden, with the assertion: “Let us bend ourselves to end corruption in public office at every level of government. The United States is no better . . . than its pub lic officials. Pre-occupation with their own profit, with selfish schemes for personal or partisan advantage undermines America’s strength.” On a platform to be occupied two days hence by his Democratic rival, Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, Eisenhower Iniked the cor ruption in government issue with a call for vigorous new foreign policy moves. Calling for a bold new foreign policy aimed at freeing the Com munist-enslaved nations, E i s e n- hower said: “Our government, once and for all, with cold finality, must tell the Kremlin that we shall never recognize the slightest permanence in Russia’s position in Eastern Eu rope and Asia. “We must tell the Soviets with an equally cold finality that never shall we rest content until the tidal mud of aggressive communism has receded within its own borders.” He said that while this nation is in grave peril he does not believe the Russians are ready to fight and war will not come soon unless “it is by accident of the powder keg variety.” Eisenhower, who wore an Abi lene, Kansas, American Legion cap us he spoke, was greeted with loud cheers and shouts of “We. Want Ike” when he arrived with Mrs. Eisenhower. He was interrupted 18 times by applause In the course of a 30-minute talk. Mrs. Eisenhower, dressed in black with a white hat and wear ing a strand of pearls, smiled as the general won warm response from the first Eastern audience he has addressed since his nomina- tiin in Chicago six weeks ago. Eisenhower, who earlier in the day had been assured by Gov. Al fred E. Driscoll, that he will carry New Jersey, told the Legion dele gates he was not making a politi cal speech. The speech came at a time when signs of restiveness among his sup porters brought a blunt editorial demand from Scripps - Howard newspapers for an active start in his campaigning. The nominee returned last night from Denver, where he has spent the major share of the six weeks since his nomination in studg of the issues, organization work and vacationing, with only occasional campaign forays. Mrs. Bobo Attends Church Services Here Mrs. D. B. Bobo, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Joe H. Simpson of Whitmire, attended services Sun day morning at the First Baptist Church here, and was cordially greeted by her friends and acquaint ances.

THE CHRONICLE “The Paper Everybody Reads” THREE MILLION SPECTATORS VIEW LEGION PARADE New York, August 26.—A tre mendous spectacle of military man power—old and new—unfolded to day along broad Fifth Avenue. From morning on toward night, the ’ine plowed bp 1 in one of the Diggest parades ever staged by the American Legion. By mid-afternoon, a police-esti mated three million spectators jam med the sidewalks in golden sun light, watching the passing pano rama of three wars—one not yet ended. The march, which began about 9 a. m., EST, wasn’t due to be over until more than 12 hours later, after darkness had faUen. It was a widely varying pageant, blending the somber with the com ic, the old-fashioned with the mod- ■err*, the InnH blare nf hands with the near-silent shuffle of thousands of feet. There were the young battle- toughened veterans back from Ko rea, the ex-soldiers of World War II now spreading at the middle from seven years of civilian life, the graying old-timers of the first world war. All of them—the former buck privates and the high brass—the men who fought the “war to end wars,” the “war to s^ve democ racy,” or the war to stop Com munist aggression”—all of them tramped along in blue legion caps. And with them strode the highest ranking veteran of them all, Gen. ©Wight D. Eisenhower, with whom thousands had stormed the Nor mandy beach heads and battled their way across Europe. In an apparently joyous mood Eisenhower—now the Republican candidate for president — grinned and waved his legion cap all along the route to the crowds which cheered and, .applauded Jm. passage Orphanage Schools To Open Monday, Faculty Given The Thornwell orphanage schools will open next Monday morning for a new year’s work in the institu tion’s handsome new school build ing recently completed.

Club Directors Give Priority To Objectives A single co-ordinated fund appeal and a fconcerted membership drive will receive top priority as Clinton Chamber of Commerce objectives for this year. The board of directors reached this decision at the regular August meet ing Tuesday night, a meeting at which a Chamber-conducted survey on Clinton’s foremost needs was studied and discussed. Heading the survey list was the need for city zoning legislation. How ever, because of the long-range espects and detailed planning of this project, it was approved and referred back to the zoning committee for further development.

George Martin was the losing pitcher. Lyles, with a triple and single, and Riddle, Mish and Siebert with two singles each, were the big guns’ for Clinton. Down at Joanna Big Bill Voiselle scattered nine hits effectively to turn back the Joanna Hornet pennant winners 4-1. The victory gave Ninety Six a 2-1 edge in the' five-game series. Don Reeder, a youngster just out of Whitmire High, took the lass. Voiselle also sparked his mates at the plate, lashing out two singles. Prater, Peeler and Reeder collected two hits each for Joanna.
