Khrushchev and a trio of top- Stevenson Draft Proposal Called Incredible Folly By ROBERT L. HARBISOX (Sun-Telegram Staff Writer) LOS ANGELES President Eisenhower poured it on KS i mimm Adlai Stevenson Friday night as a man talking "incredible folly or incredible ignorance of war" for opposing America's military draft and H-bomb policies. Before a cheering audience which overflowed the 22,000 seats in smog-filled Hollywood Bowl, Eisenhower climaxed a West Coast tour with a smashing attack on Democratic cam paign tactics. TENSE SCENE IN PACIFIC A rubber life raft is placed in water from wing of Pan American airliner in mid-Pacific Tuesday as another raft, right of fuselage, with survivors aboard makes way clear of plane after ditching. Crew of Coast Guard cutter Pontchartrain had all 31 persons aboard in 15 minutes.

(AP wirephoto) All Had Sure Faith in Survival, Rescue ranking Soviet army leaders arrived suddenly and unher alded in Warsaw Friday in ut most secrecy, apparently to apply brakes to Poland's head long advance toward inde pendent Communism. There was no official announce ment of the Soviet Communist Party boss, arrival, but author! tative sources said he was driven in from a military airport just as the Polish Communist Central Committee was restoring once condemned and jailed Titoists to power. The reemergence of men like Wladislaw Gomulka, symbol of national Communism in Poland, was a direct threat to Konstantin Rokossovsky, the Polish-born Sov iet marshal installed by Stalin as Polish defense minister. Rokossovsky may be toppled from his post. ihe arrival or Khrushchev is said to have angered Gomulka, who was described as viewing the Soviqt visit at this moment with the Polish party under great pub lic pressure to show its independencea highly tactless maneuver.

THREE ARMY CHIEFS Accompanying Khrushchev, authoritative reports said, were Mar. shal Georgi Zhukov, the Soviet defense minister and a close friend of Rekossoresky; Marshal Ivan S. Konev, supreme comman der of the Warsaw pact military organization tying Communist armies to the Soviet army, and Gen. of the Army A.I. Antonov, secretary general of the Warsaw pact.

Their presence would seem to indicate military considerations played a part in the surprise visit. The Polish Workers (Communist) Party Central Committee, HAPPY BEDLAM GREETS 31 IN MID-PACIFIC DITCHING Jordan May Cut Ties With West Americans to 'Lie Low' in Elections AMMAN, Jordan UV-The American Embassy Friday ordered all SAN FRANCISCO UP) A crushing, happy bedlam Friday welcomed the 31 men, women and infants who waited through nearly five tense, prayerful hours before the mid-Pacific ditching of their plane and the swift safe rescue of all aboard. I Texas Democrat Gives Up His Suite to Ike- LOS ANGELES OP) Wesley West, a Texas Democrat who even wears a Stevenson shoe lapel pin, disclosed Friday he gave up his hotel suite to President Eisenhower. The Texan said the management of the Beverly Hilton Hotel asked him if he would mind moving to a smaller suite prior to the arrival of the President and West consented. He is from Houston.

Only one patron remained on the floor where the President and Mrs. Eisenhower are staying. He is Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees and an old friend and supporter of the President. Webb "built the hotel for the Hilton chain. Rocket Track's Length Doubled Preparing to Check Faster Warplanes EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE UP This super-secret Air Force test center in the barren Mojave Desert is getting ready to check equipment for combat planes ca- 'pable of flying at three to four times the speed of sound.

Test facilities such as the high speed rocket sled track currently have a limit of about twice speed of sound far from adequate for aircraft coming off the draw ing boards now. It was disclosed Friday that the rocket sled track at which such equipment as ejection seats, plexiglass and other for fighting planes are tested is being doubled in length. On the "terrible" ditching im- pact, Mrs. Gordon said, Maureen out of her arm's "like a football." Maureen hit her head with CINCINNATI UP) Adlai Stevenson Friday night took up the Suez crisis heretofore played down in this campaign and asked why President Eisenhower did not "tell us the truth about it." The Democratic presidential can didate said the President must bear responsibility for Secretary of State Dulles and what he called a policy of "leadership to disas ter." Stevenson recalled Eisenhower's recent television comment that there was "good news" about Suez. But there js no good news about Suez," he said.

"Why didn't the President tell us the truth? Why hasn't he told us frankly that what has happened in the past few months is that the Communist rulers of Soviet Russia have ac complished a Russian ambition that the czars never accomplished? Russian power and influence have moved into the Middle East the oil tank of Europe and Asia and the great bridge between East and West." SERIOI FAILURE Stevenson said foreign policy Is "about the most serious failure of the Republican administration." And he added: "Under our Constitution, the i iiv emu lie i cJUiiaiuic iui iiit-iii a Liu for his secretary of Repeating a charge that the ad- ministration has sought to sweep tr-ol "under the rue" the candi- date said: "We need to be called to labor, not lulled with rosy and misleading assurances that all is well. Leadership which fails in this is leadership to disaster." OVERFLOW AUDIENCE Stevenson spoke to an enthusiastic crowd that overflowed a auditorium here after a one-day tour of Kentucky, in which he hit hard on the theme that "a vote for President Eisenhower is a vote for Richard Nixon." He turned his fire on Dulles, (Continued on Page 2, Column 4) Wreckage of Plane Positively Identified WASHINGTON (JV-The Military Air Transport Service said Friday it has positively identified wreck-ace of a MATS plane which van- j.hpd ninp davs asro with 59 Amer- ican servicemen on a flight from England to the Azores. Lt. Gen. Joseph Smith, MATS commander, announced on his re- turn from personally supervising search operations from the Azores that the wreckage was found in the isolated area where the plane disappeared.

Earlier, the 3rd U.S. Air Force, which conducted the search fr6m England, said it was ending all rescue flights Friday nighty The 24 passengers and seven crew members stepped off the rescue ship, the Coast Guard ter Pontchartrain, into joyful em i i uiaces oi wives, nusDanas ana families crowding on the dock.

The highly partisan crowd, warmed up by a parade of Hollywood entertainers, loved it The Democratic nominee, who has urged this country lead a world movement to curtail hydrogen bomb experiments, was quoted Thursday in Youngstown, Ohio, as calling the draft "an incredible waste" of America's manpower. The President departed from his prepared' text to assail the stand of Stevenson, whom he did not mention by name but to whom he obviously referred. In his original text, Eisenhower said at one point that "the man who today dismisses our military draft as 'an incredible waste' is a man speaiang incredible folly." ROAR HALTS ADDRESS But when the President came to that passage in his delivery, it came out this way: "And the man who today dismisses our military draft as an 'incredible waste' is a man who, while I do not question his sincerity, is speaking incredible folly or incredible ignorance of war or the causes of war." A prolonged roar, from the crowd halted the President's address for a few seconds.

He described some recent Democratic oratory as "political smog" which has been "obscuring and confusing important matters before our nation." "I hope my friends in Los Angeles may excuse my describing this oratory in one word to which a few of you may be sensitive," he said. There was laughter from the Bowl where a heavy. eye-stinging haze had settled.

Izvestia said this would greatly ease Japan's economic difficulties. It attributed these to a "policy of embargo" under American lead ership and said this embargo policy cut across Japan's "tradi tional commercial ties with the OUViTTl JlllUU, lllllcl dUU European countries."

He said 17 American mariners are training now at Port Said. Holland said: "We are disappointed with the way things are turning out.

The cars drove straight to the scene of the Polish committee meeting, a session 'which could have a profound impact through out Eastern Europe and the Communist states now strongly tied to Moscow. Khrushchev is reported to have taken part in the session TOO MUCH SPEED There have been many indications that the Soviet leaders are concerned over the speed of "de-Stalinization" in Poland, which might carry the country and its' party much farther toward inde- pendence than the Kremlin intended earlier this year in approving the doctrine of "many ways to Socialism." Communist doctrine holds that Socialism must precede the "building of Communism." At the moment, Gomulka was ready to take over a top-ranking spot in the Polish party and government leadership perhaps first secretary (boss) of the party and first deputy premier in the government.
