SATURDAY, A SEPT. 13. 1952. A TEXTS OF THREE STEVENSON ADDRESSES I FOR more than any other state in the Union. forward step, all along the line, for the past 20 years.

Now. I am glad to say some of Youngster's Welcome At Phoenix: Eisenhower Willing To Give Away People's Land, Oil Says General, After Indorsing Jenner, Is Campaigning Under Slogan 'Throw the Rascals PHOENIX, Sept. IS (AP). Following it the text of Gov. Adlai Stevenson's address at a downtown theater here yesterday: WE are now searing the end of our first campaign swing through the West.

It has been a fine trip; I haven't had a better time in years. FDR used to say: "I'm an old campaigner and I love a good fight." I'm not an old campaigner yet. But I must-say that I have enjoyed every minute so fat. fcsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak- aaaaf Ds Associated Press Wirephoto. Four-year-old PATRICIA LYNN KERSTING, who darted out of crowd at Phoenix (Ariz.) airpot greets GOV.

ADLAI STEVENSON ahead of some officials who were on hand to meet the Democratic presidential nominee. In group are REPRESENTATIVE JOHN MURDOCK (center) and JOE HALDIMAN, Democratic nominee for governor of Arizona (right). Irrigation, long staple cotton and all the other crops that have contributed to the prosperity of Arizona have contributed as well to the prosperity of the whole country. We in Illinois are better off because you in Arizona are better off. Some of the opposition do not seem to like this prosperity.

They say, but it could be that they are talking to them selves, talking to eaeh other, that we are on the brink of national bankruptcy. I don't know why they talk to one another because they don't show any indication of liking one another. There is another, matter: the problem of control of soil erosion. We have not yet by any means licked that problem of controlling erosion. One of the key pins in that fight against soil erosion is overgrazing.

I have already stated in speeches in the West that I am opposed to turning the public lands over to private interests. They are public property and must be managed for the publie interest. To one who can penetrate the vague language -of the Republican platform It would appear that they are interested in giving, away these priceless resources. They say we favor the restoration of the traditional Republican land policy. That has a suspicious sound.

I am -for conserving the public' wealth and the public property of the people just as I am for conserving the publie tax dollar. Those public servants who have given away our tax dollars now would give away the land, the oil and other property of the people, In this fight for the conservation of the public domain we are thankful for the support of Sena tors McFarland and Hayden. They are stanch allies in a good cause, The position of the Republican leadership in agriculture is, to say the least, highly ambiguous, The proposed legislation, as you know, tells the cotton farmers of this state that they can plant their cotton in expectation of re ceiving a fair price at picking time. You can read the. Repub licans platform from end to end and not a thing is said about prke assurance.

The Republican lead ership is currently writing a new farm plan. In fact, it writes a new one every week or so. We might bear in mind, too, that it is Congress that writes the law, not the candidate for President Just as in the case of re clamation and farm legislation, so, in the case of labor laws, price control, and many other matters that seem to me are highly important for the people's welfare, they say nothing. 'The Democrats have had to fight bitter opposition to every At Albuquerque: 'Excellent Job this country know It, too. We are highly gratified to have the Republican candidate say it in public.

Jenner on the Varsity. But some Americans do not believe it. And some of the most conspicuous of those who spend day and night attacking the integrity of our public service are on the general's team. In fact, after last Tuesday some of them to have been promoted to his first team. One player whom the general gave his' Republican letter his varsity to last Tuesday is Senator Jenner of Indiana.

And, according to Senator Jenner, the list of unpatriotic federal employes is not only practically endless, but it is headed by the revered name of Gen. George Marshall, our great wartime commander and Gen. Eisenhower's superior officer. Gen. Marshall, Senator Jenner said on the sheltered floor of the United States Senate, was a "living lie" and not only willing but eager "to play the role of front man for traitors." Now I know something about basketball, too.

and I know that you are not likely to get a good team unless the coach and the players are in agreement; and I am dead sure that this is true of team play in government because I've been governor of one of the biggest states in the union. The only conclusion I can draw, therefore, is either that the general agrees with Senator Jenner and this I still doubt or that the Republican team isn't going to win many games this next few weeks. And this is the first time I have ever heard a party go into battle under the slogan: "Throw the rascals in." What it all gets back to, of course, is the simple and indisputable fact that there is no longer one Republican party. There are two Republican parties. It is an ancient political vehicle, held together by soft soap and hunger for government jobs, with front seat driv ALBUQUERQUE.

You people here in Tucson know Republicans who are fine in their place. As visitors for instance, they usually have more money to spend than Democrats. would trust many Republicans with anything I have. I would trust them with anything but public office. This nation does not propose to stand stilt We shall continue to move forward to greater prosperi ty, for equaljopportunity for all ox our people, ana mis country for four more years will have pro gressive, prosperous service for the people, but my friends, it will take a little help, from you on the fourth of November.

I am very grateful to you for your cordial and courteous hos pitality, for the grand reception you have given me here in Tucson this afternoon. I have had an opportunity not only to see something of the majesty and grandeur and might of this land but I have also had a chance to see some thing of your God-given sun and' to have it directly in my eyes. In this state I could even learn to love Republicans. I am afraid I have made one mistake in my experience in politics. I always have the temptation to talk too much.

I have Imposed upon audience after audience in my trip through the West, and my mistake is perhaps due to the fact that I have a lot to saya lot to say that I think is of importance. I think everybody in this vast gathering knows that I did not want this job, but I have taken the job and I am going to do it the best I can, not because I believe I am invincible, not that I think that I have anything of valuable for you people, but because I believe, believe from the bottom of my heart, in the traditions of my party. I believe that strength comes, not from the top, but from the root of this great tree that is the people. As I said, I talk too much. I thought today coming over here of a story I heard old William Jennings Bryan tell under a tent in my home town of Bloomington, 111.

He concluded his speech by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have talked too long and I should know better, because as a young man I invited my mother to hear me speak one time and I said. 'now, mother, you listen attentively and you tell me if I miss any After the speech was over and the enthusiasm and applause was over he asked his mother how. the speech had been. She said, 'Well, William, I will tell you. You did very well.

The address was magnificent, you were most eloquent but you missed 'Why, mother, what chances did I 'William, you missed several good chances to sit down. FBI Is Doing in Exposing Reds Communism as merely an external years a major target of that con sought to steal our scientific and corrupt our young men and women, in our schools and colleges, and and in the Government itself. At serve the purpose of the' Soviet I say this, of course, I do not in tend to approve all the excesses and errors committed in the name of anti-Communism. Unfortu nately there are among us, men whose hope it is to profit from anxiety, hysteria and fear to confuse, to blind, to obscure tne issue for the American people. These salesmen of confusion are at work in the field of for eign policy, and they are at work on domestic issues.

In the field of foreign policy they tell people that our greatest patriots, men like Gen. Marshall, are traitors. They tell people, even while our soldiers are fighting Communist aggression in Korea, that our for eign policy is one of appeasement. Men who participated in carrying out our foreign policy, men who served this nation as diplomats abroad, are now trying to tell the people that the United States treacherously "gave away" Po land, or "gave away" China to the Communists. If there were mistakes, let us discuss them.

But let us never confuse honest mistakes, mis takes of judgment, with the insidious designs of traitors. Those who corrupt the publie mind are just as evil as those who steal from the publie purse. Let me say, too, that it is a shabby thine for a man now to cry treachery who only a few years ago said that the only dif ference between Chinese Commu nists and Oklahoma Republicans was that the latter did not carry guns. So far as I can see, many of the people most vocal in pursuing Communism with words at home are the same people most silent when it comes to supporting tne fight in the front lines against Communism abroad. We must rec ognize that the fight against Communism in our own country achieves its purposes only to the extent that it strengthens and does not weaken our democracy.

But the excesses of those who. exploit anti-Communism do not alter the fact that our nation can never for one moment relax its guard. We must take care not to harm innocent people. We must remember that liberals are not Communists and that Socialists are not Communists, and that radicals in the American tradition are not Communists. But, where true Communists are concerned- men bound to the service and defense ot the Stalinist tyranny we must root them out and expect them to bear the consequences of their treachery to all America holds dearest.

Honored for S3 Tears Service. Silas B. Gregory, a salesman for the J. W. Losse Tailoring Co.

for 63 years, received a gold watch and a custom-made suit at ceremonies marking his retirement yesterday. Presentation was made by J. W. Losse Jr. at tne company's annual picnic at his home.

57 Joy avenue, Webster I Groves. My ideas about campaigning are simple and primitive. It seems to me that the American people want to hear about the issues, and that it is the business of the candidates to talk plainly about these issues. As I said in Los Angeles yesterday, I don't think that issues are beneath the dignity of political i a a il i i it: candidates nor aoove uie intelligence of American voters. What I had hoped to do was to, raise a little debate between the two parties on some of the solemn questions of our national life.

Thus far I can't say that I've had much success. So far as I can see, it is like trying to hold a conversation with a two-headed elephant One head agrees with everything I say and the other head fumes and curses at every thing I say. The best debate of all, of course, would be between those two elephant heads. Sympathy for Eisenhower. I have certain sympathies with my distinguished opponent.

It must be hard to try to talk sense on issues when half your advisers tell you one thing and the other half tell you exactly the opposite. As a result of this, the Republican leadership has evidently decided that the only thing to do is to talk slogans, catchwords and epithets. I think a campaign for the presidency is worth something better, but it begins to look as though the Republican leaders had decided to file notice of intellectual bankruptcy, accompanied by a deluge of abuse to their creditors the people's intelligence. In fact, their whole campaign so far reminds me of a phonograph record that monotonously repeats "I love you, I love you, I love you" and adds "honey chile" and a rebel yell when the caravan moves South. When yon tarn the record over, it offers a catchy little number in waltz time, "A change is a change is a change.

I left Springfield exactly a week ago on this trip. We have covered a lot of ground in seven short days. We went first to Denver. You all know the Denver story. It used to be the campaign headquarters of the Republican candidate for President.

I really don't know why the Republicans abandoned Denver. Maybe the high altitudes were too much for weak hearts. Or maybe the closeness of Denver to the great divide was just too uncomfortable for a divided party. Or maybe the Republican leadership just didn't like the west! In any case, by the time I got to Denver, the general and bis entourage had decided that it was time for a change and had forsaken Colorado for New York City. (Vlnwfn ar.TTn ai rnnttit From Denver we went back, to Kasson, for a plowing contest.

Or it started out as a plowing contest. After my distinguished opponent had given his speech, I began to wonder whether he didn't think it was a plowing-under contest. At least he spent most of his time plowing under the farm platform of the Republican party. For my part, didn't have to plow under the Democratic farm platform: I could stand on it. In fact, I am perfectly willing to have the general try and stand on it too though I wish he would be a bit more careful to request the permission of the copyright owners.

Someone asked me the other day what I thought the main difference between the Republican and Democratic platforms was. The answer is easy. The difference is this: The Republican presidential candidate always tries to run on the Democratic platform. But you will never, never find a Democratic presidential candidate trying to run on the Republican platform. Well, the general and I had our little set-to in Minnesota.

I had hoped that we might have a debate upon farm policy. But the best debate, as usual, was between the Republican parties. One of the Republican parties opposes fixed parity prices at 90 per cent. The party wrote the platform in Chicago. Another of the Republican parties supports fixed parity prices.

That party wrote the general's speech. But when the general proposed that we should go up to 100 per cent, I think he may have misunderstood his audience. The farmers of America have too vivid a memory of the Republicans in the House voting against the 90 per cent support law last spring 100 per cent today. Moreover, I doubt whether they liked the idea of the Republican leadership treating the farm question like an auction, in which the farmers' votes would be sold to the highest bidder. Maybe the Republican leadership would get a little far ther if it began to treat the farmers like self respecting Amer icans.

From Minnesota we went on to Wyoming and Idaho and Mon tana: and from there to Oregon and Washington. If you don't like to travel you shouldn go into politics. But I do like to travel, especially around this lovely and fertile land of ours, We have a great national heritage in our, land, our forests and our rivers. You get an exciting sense of the richness and variety of this heritage when you travel through the Northwest And, you get an urgent sense ox the vital impor- tance of developing this heritage in the interest of all the people of the country and not permitting it to be a private reserve by which special groups can make profits for themselves at the expense of the common interest Arizona's Fast Development You here in Arizona well know the importance of our federal policies of conservation and recla- mation. I have been told that the very first major reclamation proj ect in tne whole country was here in this state.

I was especially interested to learn that the original pattern of co-operative membership by farmers in an irrigation district was worked out over at the Salt river project. Irrigation and reclamation laws nourished your state. Since 1940, farm income in Arizona has increased 386 per cent And your total income rose, or rather leaped 23 per cent from 1950 to 1951 more than any other state. Your extraordinary yields of long-staple cotton, and of melons, grapes, alfalfa and other crops contribute to the well-being of all of us. We in Illinois are better off because you are better off.

There is another aspect of the conservation problem which was borne in on me'both in the Northwest and down here. That is the problem of controlling erosion and of preventing silt from choking irrigation works and reservoirs. One of the key points in this fight against erosion is overgrazing. 'I have stated already that I think the public ranges should be used wisely for grazing on a fair and equitable basis. But I am unalterably opposed to turning over control of those lands to private Interests.

They are public property, and they must be managed in the public interest. So far as anyone can penetrate the foggy language of the Republican the Republican leadership is interested in giving these national resources away. "We favor," the Republican platform says, "restoration of the traditional Republican land policy" and we all know what the traditional Republican land policy is. I welcome battle on this issue. I am for conserving public wealth the common property of the people just as I am for conserving tax dollars.

I hope that some day my distinguished opponent will come to see that both these questions involve the property of all the people. He is appalled as I am at those servants who have given away tax favors, but he is apparently willing enough to give away the land, oil 'and other property of the In this fight for the conserva tion of the public domain, I take great comfort from the support of Senators Hayden and Mc Far-land. They are staunch allies in a good cause. I talked on these matters in Seattle and Portland, because lit tle is more important to American survival than planning in time to assure the conservation and wise development of our natural re- sojrces. From Seattle, I flew down the shining Pacific coast to San Francisco.

There, where the great Golden Gate looks toward the East, I spoke about foreign policy. I said that the question of peace was the great unfinished business of our generation. I said that our generation can meet that chal lenge if we understand the enor mity of the threat. I believe peace is possible, if we but have the will, the boldness and the patience to conquer it. I believe that we have.

I believe this is a time for greatness, and that our nation is capable of greatness, Then I had a wonderful day whistle-stopping through the cen tral valley of California. And yes terday i spoke twice in Los Angeles. First I had some things to say about corruption. I said that the people were getting tired of the indiscriminate abuse of our public servants. There have been thieves and scoundrels, men who have betrayed their trust I say that such men must be iden tified and punished without mercy.

And a good many of them have been detected and exposed by Democrats. Among the ex-posers, I need only mention such names as Estes Kefauver. Paul Douglas. Bill Fulbright Stuart Symington, Cecil King, Frank Chelf and many others. In fact, took Steve Mitchell, who as counsel for the Chelf committee has been conducting such a brilliant investigation of the Department of Justice, and nominated him for chairman of the Demo cratic National Committee.

An Age of Promise. In the evenine at Los Athp1a I talked about the fact that some. times we got so mired down In the problems of today that we forget about the possibilities of tomorrow. I have talked a lot of blood, sweat and tears during this campaign; and I propose to con tinue talking it. because I do not Deneve that this is a safe nr sim ple world.

But I think too that we must never forget that we are on the edge ot a new scientific and technological age an age wnicn promises fabulous ahun- dance for a people worthy of it. We Democrats are not afraid of the challenge of tomorrow. We are the party of faith faith in America, faith in democracy, faith in freedom. We will let the Republicans continue to deal in moans, groans and lamentations to say that the American way of life is weak, fragile and on the verge of extinction. They are the party of fear.

And this contest between faith and fear will decide the future of our country. While I have been -moving around, I notice that my distinguished opponent has been active too. The other night in Indianapolis the general gave a chalk talk on team clay in basket ball and politics. In the course of his talk, he made the following admission: "The overwhelming majority of federal employes (he said) are among our most catri otic and efficient citizens." Now I believe this. In fact I know it and I think that most people in At Tucson: Arizona Is Example Of How Desert Is Made to Bloom ers and back seat drivers contradicting each other in a bedlam of voices shouting at the driver to "go right" and "go left" at the same time.

I don't envy the driver, and I don't think the American people will want to ride on his bus. In recent weeks the junior Republican party seems about to be swallowed up by its big, bad older brother. I no longer hear the voices which sang with sweet reasonableness for the general before the Chicago massacre. Someone seems to have muzzled them. Maybe they sounded too much like Democrats.

And now we have the spectacle of the candidate who won the nomination seeking out his defeated rival and begging for a kind word. I'm beginning to wonder who won at Chicago, anyway, and who my opponent really is. Maybe the Republicans now have a six-star General! I think this is an appropriate subject to discuss in Phoenix. It occurred to me, while I was fly ing in this morning, that the clue to the future of the Republican party may well lie in the fabled Phoenix, after which your city was named. The Phoenix, as you all know, set fire to herself after a 500' year decline and then rose revitalized from her own ashes.

Our opponents may be older than they think. They are aging, tired and querulous. I recommend that they build a fire under themselves and move into this, the 20th century. We would be glad to welcome them here. We Democrats like this century, belong to it and propose to realize its possibilities to the full.

To assure the continuation of progress in the United States, to move' toward greater freedom and greater opportunity for our citizens, to fight for peace in the world, there is one broad and proven path the Democratic party. have to send new Democrats to Congress. All you have to do is to send uack the fine Democrats you already have there Senator McFarland and Congressman Pat ten, and also take into account the opportunity you have to elect Joe Hal.limrn as your text Governor. As I came from Phoenix to Tucson as always, admired what I could see of the state, the desert, the mountains, the green fields. Looking out the window of the plane, I saw where the arid desert met the green of the cultivated farms.

This is a state of endless enchantment and gran deur, but its arid beauty and grandeur is enhanced by growing crops on its irrigated lands. My enjoyment of the scene was not diminished by the knowledge that Democratic leaders have con tributed so much to make this valley the garden it is. I do not know what will be said 100 years from now about the Democratic party but I know that historians will never deplore our efforts to make the desert bloom. Sena tors McFarland and Hayden have earned your high regard and your confidence. They hold high posi tions in the Senate.

Senator Mc Farland has been elected ma jority leader of the Senate. Not only Arizona but the entire coun try can well feel proud of his service, and the service of Sena tor Hayden. I feel certain that the voters of Arizona will keep this winning team in Washington Reclamation in Arizona. You can see as you come into Phoenix, and as you come from Phoenix to Tucson, that the very life of this area depends on getting enough water. This is one of the finest examples in this country of what reclamation will do.

I was interested to learn that the original pattern of the co-operative membership of farm ers' irrigation districts was worked out in the Salt; River valley. This is an example of how local people working together can organize their common efforts for a com mon good. Since 1940 farm in come in Arizona has increased 386 per cent, and Arizona's total income rose, or rather leaped, 23 per cent from 1950 to 1951 alone TUCSON, Sept. 18 (AP). Following is the text of the address given here yesterday ly Gqv.

Adlai E. Stevenson, Democratic presidential nominee: AFTER all the nice things that Senator McFarland had said about me today, first in Phoenix and again here in Tucson, I am tempted to think that if Senator McFarland and I visited another city in Arizona and I gave him another opportunity to compare me with another distinguished man, I would not need to run for office. I would just spread my wings and fly. United States has been for spiracy. Communist agents have military secrets, to mislead and to infiltrate positions of power business firms and labor unions, every turn they have sought to Union.

In the pursuit of their objec tive, the Communists have been ingenious, disciplined, obedient and ruthless. Along the way they have gained the help, witting or unwitting, of many Americans. The Communist conspiracy within the United States deserves the attention of every American citizen and the sleepless concern of the responsible agencies of Gov ernment. I feel that there still are people in this country under illusions about the nature of the Communist conspiracy Abroad and at home. There aren't many Ameri can Communists far fewer than in the days of the great depres sion and they aren't, on the whole, very important.

But they exist; and we should not forget their existence. Some, perhaps, are obstinate and hopeless in their faith. Others, perhaps, can be won back to an understanding of the democratic way of life. Communism is" committed to the destruction of every value which the genuine American liberal holds most dear. So I would say to any Americans who cling to illusions about Communism and its fake Utopia: Wake up to the fact that yon are in an alliance with the devil and you must act soon if you hope to save your soul.

And to those who in the service of the Soviet Union would commit acts prejudicial to the safety and security of the United States, I would say: Under me as President of the United States federal agencies will deal sternly and mercilessly with all who would betray their country and their freedom for the sake of manacles and chains. There is only one way for a free society to deal with this in ternal threat, and that is througn the nrocesses of justice. We have tightened up oar espionage and security legislation. We have in stituted a federal loyalty system and we did so, I should add, in 1947 three long years before the Senator from Wisconsin made his shrill discovery of the Communist menace. We have prosecuted ine Communist leadership.

Where the law has been violated the Justice Department has indicted and convicted the criminals, in all this effort we have had the faithful and resourceful work and national protection of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I do not believe that any agency of Government is infallible and I think that of all agencies a bu reau of detection should get the most strict and unrelenting public scrutiny. 'An Excellent Job. But, so far as I can see, the FBI is doing and has done an excellent investigation job. To tell you or to imply as some do for political reasons that the Government is crawling with Commu nists today is to say that the FBI does not know its business. We can never relax our vigilance at home and abroad.

When But I suppose, Senator McFar- land, that a little flattery is all right' if you 'don't inhale and I don't propose to inhale. I am delighted to be here in Tucson. I am not entirely a stranger to this state. My mother and father lived in Arizona before I was born, in Prescott. I don't know why they moved.

My sister lived here as an infant, in Ari zona, and I have been back here many times. The trouble is that we always associate Phoenix and Tucson with vacation, and the gentleman you are looking upon at this moment is not on vaca tion. I am very much touched and flattered to find in the audience here in Tucson a lady over 80 years of age who came from my home town of Bloomington, 111. She traveled with my mother in Europe over 60 years ago. She does me great honor by being here and I should very much like to bundle her in my airplane and take her back to Illinois.

In fact, we had better take somebody back to Illinois pretty soon because they are all moving out here. Stalking 2-Headed Elephant We are now nearing the end tf our swing to the West. We have had a wonderful trip. President Roosevelt used to say that he was an old campaigner and loved a good fight I am not yet an old campaigner but I am enjoying my experience so far and none more than before this enormous crowd here in Tucson. And there is much more to come.

During the next few weeks I shall expect to stalk that odd piece of political came, the old two-headed elephant, described by political writers as double-raited, blind, bad-tempered and without sense of direction except when it is coin backwards. The sad part of it is that there wQl not be an open again for four more years. make the best of this one. I feel very good here in this Arizona' air and sunshine. I im agine that I also feel good because I am confident we are going to win in November.

Here in Tucson, of course, you don't.
