IKE SAYS HE WILL
END CORRUPTION
IN PUBLIC OFFICE
■»
Strongly Condemns
Trends In Government,
And Urges Foreign
Policy With Boldness
New York, August 25.—General
Dwight D. 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.

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

Club Directors
Give Priority
To Objectives
A single co-ordinated fund appeal
and a fconcerted membership drive

The board of directors reached this

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.
