27. Adlai E. Stevenson charged tonight that the Eisenhower Administration has embarked upon a program of "bread and circuses" instead of facing up to the issues of the day. The Administration, he said, is giving the people "cant and slogans and streamers and balloons and ballyhoo" instead of clear thinking and vision. The Democratic presidential nominee flew here to deliver an-other "give-'em-hell speech" after telling a crowd at Kansas City, earlier in the day that the Democrats favor taking the country away from General Motors and "turning it back to Joe Smith."

Louis' Missouri Theater. Ike Splits With Three Republicans Won't Support Labeling Wars As Democrats' By ROBERT L. RIGGS Th Couritr-Joumal Washington Bur.au Washington, Sept. 27. President Eisenhower disagreed today with the chairmen of three Republican campaign committees who have referred to this county's armed conflicts as "Democratic wars." "I don't, believe, when America gets into war, we can afford to call it anything but our war," the President said in reply to a question at his press conference.

A reporter had called the President's attention to a campaign "comic book" labeled "Forward with Eisenhower-Nixon," published over the names of Leonard W. Hall, chairman of the Republican National Committee; Andrew F. Schoeppel, chairman of the senatorial campaign committee, and Richard M. Simpson, chairman of the House campaign committee. Reads One Sentence From the booklet, the reporter read this sentence: "There are 4,000,000 more jobs now in peacetime than the Democrats had with their wars." "My question is," the reporter said, "would you agree with Mr.

That was the promise of Thil O'Hara to The Courier-Journal yesterday aftnr the Tampa, public-relations man claimed he had acquired controlling interest in the ball club. But O'Hara, a former baseball executive, said he will come armed with authority from the Cuban owners to negotiate with a citizens' group here for sale of the club. Also, as late as yesterday O'Hara was working with a Tampa group on plans to move the Louisville franchise there. O'Hara spoke to the group after conferring with Joe Cambria, a Colonel stockholder who served as the club's personnel director.

Whenever his car was halted by the press of people he shook hands with scores of wellwish-ers. In his speech, Stevenson said the Republicans are trying "with movies, jeeps, girls, and gadgets of all kinds" to sell the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket again "to a docile, complacent, carefree people, all happily chanting peace, prosperity, and progress, ain't it wonderful!" 'Closer to Show Business' "You remember," Stevenson said, "how the Roman emperors in their declining years tried to keep the uneasy populace satisfied and their minds off their troubles with food and games, gladiatorial combat and spectacles.

"Well, 'bread and circuses' didn't save Rome, and it won't save the Republicans either!" In probably the sharpest attack he hau yet delivered against the Eisenhower regime, Stevenson said quoting a remark he attributed to an organizer of the Bepublican National Convention the opposition party seems to think of politics "as moving closer to show business."

Balling hands into fists, tht Vice-President and Republican nominee for re-election declared: "We are making It clear to the world that an attack on freedom anywhere is an attack on freedom everywhere. That is how we have kept the peace." Nixon said the Administration of President Eisenhower has kept the peace "without sacrificing principle or territory." Foreign Policy Top Issue From the viewpoint of the future of America and the world, the Vice-President said he considered foreign policy the most important issue of all in this year's presidential election. "I am not asking you to support President Eisenhower because you like him as an individual, or because you are a Republican," he said. "Just ask yourself this question: 'Who is the man best qualified to lead this country and keep this country at peace, with no More Hear Vice-President Nixon made the remarks in similar speeches at a University of Louisville convocation and at Lhe Ken" The attendance of 1,100 or 1,200 at the convocation and his.

Answers Student Question His remark was in response to a question from a student who had mentioned the outbreaks at Clay and Sturgis, Ky. In his convocation speech, he said there "must be a moder- ate, steady advance" in racial desegregation of schools. He said "extremists on both sides" are responsible for the outbreaks of violence in some towns.

Congratulates Louisville Nixon said he was sure that both major parties could handle the issue "on a national rather than a sectional basis." He complimented Louisville on its "magnificent record" in dealing with this problem, and noted that success was being made elsewhere in the South.

When Nixon emerged there was an admiring shout from the bystanders, as if he had just O'Hara said they feel that the recent legal move that put the club into receivership was designed to "get the Cubans out of Louisville." "They don't like it and they intend to stay. They feel that the franchise is a very valuable one and they entertain no thought of giving it up." The Colonels went into receivership Wednesday after the University of Louisville filed a petition claiming the club owed it $3,000 in unpaid rent.

Circuit Judge Stuart Lampe appointed L. K. Scoggan, secretary-treasurer of the Louisville Credit Men's Association, as receiver. Confirms 'Pay-Off Claim Although O'Hara claimed con trolling interest, Gonzalo de La Vega, treasurer of the Colonels, told The Courier-Journal by telephone from Havana that O'Hara merely represents a majority of the stockholders. Vega confirmed that O'Hara is empowered to pay off the club's debts, which amount to about $50,000 in money actually due and another $65,000 to $70,000 on an "open account" (money that would be paid in future operations for amortization of concession equipment).

When asked if O'Hara's "fresh money" meant that the Cubans were putting more capital into their Louisville venture, Vega answered, "You'll have to ask O'Hara or Cambria where the money will come from.

"Just as I believe that every president is president of all the people there is no such thing as a president of the Republicans. There is no such thing as a president of the Democrats. "They may be thinking of something that I don't know anything about, but I don't believe when America gets into war we can afford to call it anything but our war." Changes Are Doubted After the press conference, the President's reply was called to the attention of L. Richard Guylay, public-relations director of the national committee.

Guy-lay said he didn't believe circulation of the comic book would be stopped or that its contents would be changed as a result of Eisenhower's words. The issue of "Democratic wars" has irked Democratic leaders all the more because Eisenhower was supreme Allied commander in World War II. Seven days ago, in a speech at Silver Spring, Adlai E. Stevenson demanded that the Republicans reveal what they mean when their orators "slander" the Democratic Party as the "war party." Korean War Stressed He called on them to say whether a Republican Administration would have failed to "defend the United States from the Kaiser in 1917," whether one would have fought after the attack on Pearl Harbor or would have let the Communists take over South Korea in 1950. The "comic book" issued by the three campaign committees puts heavy stress on the war in Korea and the fact that it was brought to an end by President Eisenhower.
