Kimball It's an Economical Defense Insurance, He Tells Legion NEW YORK (AP) Secretary of the Navy Kimball today asked the American Legion to help keep America strong on the seas. "You can help us," he told Legionnaires at their national convention, "by supporting our requests for appropriations to create nnd maintain the strong armed forces this country is going to need us long as aggression stalks the world." Kimball Follows Pace Kimball followed Secretary of Army Pace in the list of speakers for this morning's convention session.

In their prepared remarks, both extolled the merits of their respective services. The Legion today elects its national commander. Lewis K. Gough, 44, Pasadena, and Walter E. Alcssandroni, 39, Phila-(elphia, are major contenders.

Kimball said the nation has in-rreased its investment in its arm- id sen-ices about 100 billion dollars tn the last 20 years, adding: "For the richest nation on earth, think this is a more or less modest investment in national in surance. The total investment less than one-third of one vear national income, and while of it- tcir. it is a tremendous amount of money. I do not believe it is excessive. "The stakes are high in this bat-lie for freedom in which we are rngaged and it cannot be won with tokens or I.O.U.'s" Kimball reiterated his belief that Itrong naval forces "arc the most tconomical forms of national sc-rurity insurance." But he added lhat no branch of the service can be short-changed "without throw-Ing the whole scheme of our defense out of balance and running the risk of a national disaster." Pace Optimistic Back only a few days from inspecting American forces in Europe, Pace said the Army has made "substantial and heartening" pro-press since the start of the Korean war.

Regarding the state of the Armv, Pace said the facts "fairly lead to conclusion of cautious optimism, tempered by the consideration of tenuous problems that lie ahead." In the 26 months since the Korean conflict began, he said, the Army has grown from 593,000 men lo more than 1,550,000. "Our training system." he said, "is second to none in the world." "The quality of our leadership" went on, "as well as the numbers of officers available, is substantially better than when we Started our buildup for World War II." Weapons have improved too. Pace said, "and the potential of Ihe atom will in the future be added to our firepower in the form of fuided missiles and artillery." General Grow Assigned to Office Post WASHINGTON- (AP) Mai. Gen. Robert W.

Grow was assigned to the Army's historical office to day one month after he was con victed by a court martial of writing secret information in his personal diary. The diary fell into the hands of Soviet agents and it was used 3 tnc basis of a propaganda. Grow himself has never com mented on the matter. The court martial convicted Grow on two counts: Improperly ecording secret information and failing to properly safeguard classified information. He was sentenced to a repri mand and suspension from command of troops for a six-month period.

Fish told a reporter hundreds or Republicans have messagea ineir enthusiasm for the idea on grounds lhat the present Republican leadership is little different from the Democrats on "basic issues." "The diffefence is only that between Twcedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum," Fish said. "There's no difference on foreign both fa vor and little difference on domestic policy. They both favor many of the Socialist policies of the new deal." result, he said, thousands of Republicans have been "virtually disenfranchised, and have no opportunity to vote for principles in which they sincerely believe. They are worried about the sur- ival of the two-party system. Former U.

Gov. Adlai Stevenson (left) waves from car en route to address the American Legion convention in New Yorit. With the Governor is Mayor Vincent Impelit-teri of New York. Gov. Stevenson's Campaign Strategy Uniolds; He ll Hit GOP on 4 Fronts BY RELMAN MORIN NEW The major maneuvers in Gov.

Adlai Steven son's campaign strategy were becoming clearer today as he swept mrougn me Kew York area in his battle for the presidency. In effect, he has now come to grips with Gen. Dwight D. Eisen hower, his Republican opponent. Both candidates are in New York.

Each has delivered a major stating before the American Legion convention. They spoke on different days, but before same group of listeners. For each man, this was the true beginning of his campaign. In the Legion speech, and in another delivered last night at a Democratic rally near Asbury in. Stevenson struck out at Eisenhower in these areas: "I am.

not in the delicate posi tion of another candidate for high office, who faces the ticklish problem of whether to swallow his principles and endorse all the candidates running on the same ticket with him." GOP Split 2. "The Republicans are split wide open on foreign policy. Some of us are reluctant to admit that peace cannot be won by some clever diplomatic maneuver or by propaganda." 3. "The people of this country are better off than they or any other people have ever been." On domestic policy, only now are they the Republicans slowly and reluctantly accepting the ideas successfully sponsored by the Democratic party years ago It looks more and more to me as though they are going to stand on our program." In those four points. Stevenson expected to find his principal areas of attack on the Republicans.

The first probably referred to Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy of Wis-consin, and Eisenhower's position with respect to McCarthy. In any case, his New Jersey audience of 6,000 mostly Democrats, thought it did and sent up an explosion of cheering and applause. center oi Controvcrscy McCarthy's accusations that some government figures held Communist leanings have made him the center of a controversy.

Eisenhower said last week he would support McCarthy if the lat- ier is nominated for re-electton but not give blanket endorsement to any one "who docs anything I believe to be un-American in methods or in me foreign policy issue. Ste venson pointed to the difference in view that exists between the two wings of the Republican party, what he called "the Old Guard" and the "more liberal, progres sive group. may have been answering Eisenhower's stated plan for opposing communists when he said "a clever diplomatic maneuver" will not win the peace. Eisenhower told the Legionnaires the American government should warn the Kremlin, with "cold finality," that this government would not "rest content" while 18 formerly independent nations are under Communist domination. Foremost Argument The "you-nevcr-had-it-so-good" argument is one of the foremost, if not the foremost, assertion the Democrats already arc making to the voters.

And Stevenson's fourth main point-that the Republicans are going to stand on the Democratic seemed to Indicate that the Illinois governor will attempt to stamp Eisenhower as a "me-too" candidate. He said the issue was "whether a surviving spouse is liable for taxes of her deceased husband where the latter's liability arose by reason of his community own- crsnip ot one nan tne surviving spouse's earnings. My answer is Miss was married at the time to Arthur A. Farnsworth. He died in 1943.
