Eisenhower in Cincinnati but nijht lashed the Democratic administration for a foreign policy that had put this nation in "plain peril" and promised a policy that would make it the "headquarters of freedom" for the whole world.

Introduced with a warm and significant greeting by Sen. Robert A. Taft, General Elsenhower drew a thundering ovation from the crowd of 3,600 that filled Music Hall and overflowed in adjoining ha lit and outside the building in six times that naumber. Already be had beea greeted by what police estimated at more than 1 00,000 lining his parade route from I'nioa Station in one of the biggest aad moat colorful greeting ot his campaign. "Peace," the General said at Music Hall, "is the re-ward reserved for those who, guided by confidence ia themselves and faith in God, will develop their utmost in material and moral strength and devote that strength to this Tighteoua cause of "II we do this, we will save America from becoming a beleaguered outpost of a weary democratic world.

We will proclaim America to be what she must ever be the headquarters of freedom." SPEECH IS EFFECTIVE TAFT Sea Robert A. Taft thought General Elsenhower's speech a very effective one on foreign policy. Period The Senator, who gave the General a cordial Introduction, although the subject of the speech In Taft's homo town wu the field of greatest difference, at first declined to comment Then he relented insofar as to say: "I have Mid that Jt was a very effective speech on foreign policy. That la all I am going to say." Then he moved away. Again, In this, his second major speech on foreign policy, he blueprinted his own plan for a foreign policy of the future.

And again he raked the administration for Its failures of the put Those failures, he said, had condemned the American people to live in "a purgatory of Berlin and Korea he blamed on "tlie incompetence of political leaders which made military action Then be added: "Our servicemen were summoned to snatch military victory from political defeat. Democracies cannot afford the luxury of assigning armies of soldiers to go around 'picking up' after their statesmen." Oar foreign policy, the General charged, has bees) Just "a program of bits and pieces a plan here, a pro gram there, a loaa here, a doctrine there an endlees game of makeshift and make-believe." Again he flayed Gov. AdJai Stevenon, though not by name, for flippancy. "Most Americsns think our government ought to find a way to hasten the end of the bloody war in Korea," ha Said, "but last week in San Francisco the administration candidate scolded the American people for their anxiety lightly telling them that this war ta no athletic event, mere 100-yard dash.

Cincinnati, Strong, Lines Streets For Enthusiastic Greeting To GOP Candidate Throngs On Parade Route Copy Of Ptpcr Frca Ttrttr, Publisher General Elsenhower halted his parade up Vine Street last night long enough to recognize publicly The Enquirer as an "outstanding example of employee co-operation and ownership." The GOP presidential nominee made statement after Roger HiFerger, publisher of the newspaper, stepped into the4treet in front of The Enquirer building to present General Eisenhower with a' copy of Sunday's paper which carried a front page editorial, endorsing his candidacy.

After accepting the newspaper, the General said: "Thank you for this memento of your editorial support of me. I know your newspaper is an outstanding example of employee cooperation and ownership, and I am deeply grateful for this evidence of their faith in me." Mr. Ferger told General Eisenhower that The Enquirer considered it a privilege to be able to endorse "a man of such outstanding character and proven abilities of leadership." ernor Stevenson follows: "I have not received Mr. Chandler's wire but the text of it has been supplied me by the Chicago Tribune. I do not recall the conversation with Mr.

Chandler in Chicago, but there has never been any secret about the fact that I have tried to reduce the financial sacrifice of a number of men whom I induced to leave private employment to work for the State of Illinois. These have been mei of my own selection, who entered public service at my urging, and at personal sacrifice to themselves. None has been elected public officials who sought public office. "The funds used for this purpose were left over from the 1948 campaign for Governor, together with subsequent general contributions. There is no question of improper Influence because there was no Nominee Smiles, Praises Recent Opponent When He Hears Greeting BY HAL METZGER JR.

There was a Taft crowd at Music Hall last night, but it "liked Ike." Anyone near the hall could have told it waa a Taft crowd. Charles P. Taft, the Republican candidate for Governor, got unprompted ap-'plause. His brother, Sen. Robert A.Tsft, also was welcomed royally and was Cheered throughout his talks.

And no one could deny that the crowd likewise belonged to the Eisenhowers Ike and Mamie. Just as soon as Senator Taft, who had been speaking impromptu to take up the time until the tele-vision and radio schedules were ready, the words "Genersl Eison hower" brought the house dow. There were three minutes then of shouting, flash bulbs, confetti, stamping of feet, yells, shouts and whistles. Then it died down and somebody up front yelled, "Give 'em hell. Ike." He answered with one of his famous smiles the smile he had entered the hall with.

IKE PRAISES TAFT He thanked the audience "from the bottom of my heart" for the warmth of its welcome to Cincinnati He admitted that he and Senator Taft, whom he praised, had some points of difference. But he added, they have agreed oa twe points economy la gov eminent and living within its means, aad the fact that the government has become too big and too arrogant He then praised Sen. John W. Bricker (he said John but quickly corrected it), Charles P. Taft, Congressman William E.

Hess, Second District and Gordon H. Scherer, candidate for Congress in the First District Then he went into his prepared address. Senator Taft before his Intro. duction of General Eisenhower, said he never had seen such crowds as were in downtown Cincinnati last night He told his listeners they were losing their freedom by the government's spending. When the spending reaches 60 per cent of the people's Income, he said, the people will be like little boys the government will tell them what time to get up, what to eat for breakfast and when to go to bed.

In referring to the hospitality Cincinnati showed to General Eisenhower last night. Senator Taft pointed out that Cincinnati was a "sound city." "Because it is sound," he said, "it is predominately Republican." He said that it was the largest city in America to go Republican for WUlkie in 1940 and for Dewey in TO GIVE BIG MAJORITY "It woat be the largest city to go far General Elsenhower this year," he predicted, "but tt wiU give the largest majority." He said Clndnnatlani prided themselves on their own government He said that whether it was aader Republican, Democratto or Charter leadership, tt waa a good example for tk Truman ad-ministration la Waahlagtoa to follow. Senator Bricker, who introduced Senator Taft, said that with Senator Taft and General Elsenhower In agreement "ho (Governor Stevenson) knows wo have a united determined Republican party." -With the support of Senator Taft" Senator Bricker said, "Gea-tral Elsenhower will be the next President ef the I sited States." Mayor Carl W. Rich introduced Senator Bricker and other Repub- lican candidates, who lined the stage. He said he was "thrilled to see so many Democrats and independents with us tonight" He had asked that the audience not applaud when candidates were introduced.

Only twice did they break away from the rules when Charles P. Taft and Judge James G. Stewart were introduced. and again to "get closer," to "put your arm around his shoulder." With General Eisenhower and Senator Taft heading the line, the party moved to the terminal concourse. There they were greeted by a band and hundreds of demonstrators carrying signs and chanting, "We Want Ike." Another big crowd waited on the They cheered as both the General and Senator Taft, after entering their car, stood and waved.

The crowd was surging around the car, and police were almost losing a battle to fight them off when the 40-car motorcade moved away. Throughout Senator Taft sat quietly alongside the General When the caravan reached Central Parkway and the crowds got thicken, they moved to the rear of the seat. The General did the waving and smiling. He accompanied his greeting often with a "Hi, fellows" or a plain He told Senator Taft that these little salutations often got him into trouble that by the time he got to where he was to speak he found his voice getting hoarse. The two talked be politics la the car.

Mainly they dbeoased Cincinnati as Senator Taft pointed out places of mtorest along the charm was well In evidence. His familiar smile and wave of the hand greeted viewers over the entire route. And almost every face broke into a smile in response. Whether for htm or against him politically, the crowd showed Its deep respect and personal regard for him as man. Only once waa the name "Stevenson" heard, and that came from a small group of yoong girls oa Lincoln Park Drive.

They storied a "We want Stevenson" chant hot were soon drowned out by another group ef youngs ten nearby. The 18-car Eisenhower train reached Cincinnati at 7 p. 20 minutes before its scheduled arrival To bring it in on time, the special was held in the train yards until 7:18 when it moved into the terminal. On hand on the station platform wis a galaxy of Republican big-wigs. Among them was the man who might have been making a triumphal homecoming himself Sen.

Robert A. Taft. Senator Taft with his brother, Charles P. Taft Mayor Carl W. Rich and George F.

Eyrich local GOP leader, entered the Eisenhower car a few minutea after it stopped. The first member of the Eisenhower party to emerge from the ear was the General's wife, Mamie, who came out to accept a bouquet of roses from Mrs. David Attig, President of the Hamilton County Women's lican Club. Sen. John W.

Brkker showed up late and joined the group inside only seconds before they appeared on the observation platform; at the rear of the traia The photographers popped away for several minutes, and the General and Senator Taft were requested time BY AL SCHOTTELKOTTE Ike's personality was in good form. Senator Taft played his role with dignity. "The crowd was big and enthusiastic. So it was lut night as Cincinnati welcomed General Eisenhower during an four-long preceding hta Music Hall address. There was no difficulty in getting a clow look at the GOP presidential nominee as his big convertible moved from Union Terminal to the downtown area, then to Music Hall.

The crowd along the way was scattered until the automobile parade reached the business district. Starting at Seventh and Race Sts the onlookers were stacked four and five deep, At Fountain Square the crowd spread over halt ot the intersection. On Vine Street the sidewalks were packed. But along, most of the route there was ample room. Considering the distance traveled, however, police officials estimated the overall crowd at 100,000 at least equal to the turnout at any big event In the city's past General Eisenhower was well He said the crowd was igger than any on his campaign tour except Philadelphia, and he said the people were "the friend liest I've encountered." Visiting newspapermen agreed with For the most part the crowd was orderly.

Only after the General entered his car in front of Union Terminal and again when it stopped at Lincoln Park Drive and Freeman Avenue were police forced to push back over-enthusiastic The much-heralded Eisenhower "No American family that has a boy fighting la the mountains of far-off Korea needs any such reminder." And for smugness: "It takes smugness," he said, "to try to stifle eritlea, as the Democratic candidate did last week, with the epigram that, 'A wise nun does not try to hurry Every American knows the answer to that one: Neither a wise maa aor a grave maa lie down ea the tracks ef history to wait for the traia ef the tutors to ran Only two or three times did the Of Regiment Is fiven' Ts Cslsad WilUsms, S.s Of Late Iisaraiee Eictitive He ts T.
