DEMANDS DEFENSE OF ALL FROM ATTACK ' STRASBOURG, France. — The C>>nsultative Assembly of the Council of Europe on Saturday overwhelmingly* endorsed a de¬ mand that all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza¬ tion be defended in the event of an attack by Russia. The move clashed directly with high military planners who be¬ lieve any defense against the big¬ ger Russian armies on a fixed "line would be as ,disastrous for the West as France's attempt to hold the Maginot Line early World War II.

Stevenson last night accused his Republican opponent, Dwight D. Eisenhower of "ugly, twisted demagogic distortion" of United States Foreign Policy. The Democratic presidential nominee, in his speech prepared for delivery at the Memorial Audi torium here, spoke more harshly of Elsenhower than ever before in the campaign. Sevenson accused Eisenhower of "lifting remarks out of cou' text," straddling issues and par roting charges of "Republican Ir responsibles."

Campaign headquarters of the Republican presidential nominee withheld any immediate comment on the accounting of the fund. But, it was certain that aides of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower would go over the list of donors with a fine-toothed comb looking for i>eople who may have been selling supplies or Services to any state agencies or Institutions since Stephenson became governor In 1949. The Eisenhower people also were aware of the fact that the for¬ mer five-star general will have to come up with a deailed statement of his financial position, including how he profited from a tax ruling on the sale of his book, "Crusade power. contributions, but he said it might prove that Stevenson "is a fine governor." Philip E. Wrigley, chewing gum manufacturer and owner of the Chicago Cubs, said he contributed $1,000 to Stevenson's campaign fund. Not for the purpose of sup¬ plementing the salaries of state officials. Business associates said Wrigley haa been non-partisan in his politics. Edison Dick, head of the A. B.

"The General," Stevenson said, "accuses the government of having under¬ estimated the Soviet threat. But what about the General himself? ". . . In the years after the war, the General himself saw 'no rea¬ son'—as he later wrote—why the Russian system of government and western democracy 'could not live side by side in the World' In November, 1^5, he even told the House military affairs com¬ mittee: "Nothing guides Russian policy so much as a desire for friendship with the United States'." The Governor said Eisenhower accused the administration of al lowing America to become weak. Stevenson said that Eisenhower warned against too rapid demo¬ bilization, but "later said—in Sep CIO Amalgamated Clothing Workers—$2,000. CIO United Steel Workers— $2,000. CIO Political Action Committee of Illinois—$2,800. Others were: Bennett Cerf, New York writer and humorist who gave $10, and Benjamin Lind- helmer, who donated $3,000.

Who Abandoned Korea? Regarding the 'withdrawal of American forces from Korea, "the General acts as if this were the result of some secret White House decision," Stevenson said. "I would call his attention to the fact that while he was chief of staff of the U. S. Army the chiefs of staff ad¬ vised that South Korea was of little strategic interest to the United States, and recommended withdrawal of the United States forces from the country." On the question of "writing off" Korea. Stevenson said he wa.-s "frankly astonished that my great opponent stopped at Cincinnati last week to the practice of lift¬ ing remarks out of context." "The General," Stevenson said, "condems the Secretary of State's definition of our defense perime¬ ter in 1950 But the General fails to point out that this defense peri¬ meter was a line developed by the military authorities themselves. Surely it is a gross and discredit¬ able distortion to say that the Secretary of State took the lead in this matter. "Twice In 1949 General Mac- Arthur, then our top commander in the Pacific, defined our de¬ fense perimeter in the terms later used by the Secretary of State. It was on the recommendation of our military authorities that Ko¬ rea and Formosa and mainland areas were not included in a di¬ rect military commitment."

Sparkman, plan to release their Income tax returns for the last 10 years, thereby hurling a challenge to Eisenhower to do the same. Elsenhower's tax advantage on sale of the book came through a ruling by the Bureau of Internal Revenue that he could declare the Income as a capital gains, where the rate was only 25 per cent. Instead of straight income, where the rate runs much higher. It has been widely reported that Eisenhower got $1,000,000 for all rights to hUs memoirs of World War II. netting '$750,000 after taxes. Straight income taxes would have reduced that amount considerably. Gave I'p Army Pay But, there are some indications that when Eisenhower does pub¬ lish his account of the affair the profit will run much lower, pos¬ sibly less than half a million dollars. Friends of Eisenhower also can be expected to point out that he voluntarily waived the more than $18,0<X) a year military income to which he was entitled as a five- star general when he entered the political arena. Since a five-star general never can retire, he resigned his Army commission after receiving the Ftepublican presidential nomina tion.

UN Offers 3 Proposals To End Trute Deadlock TOKYO, Sunday—The United Nations command made three new proposals on the deadlocked pris¬ oner exchange issue in the Korean truce talks today_ and the Com¬ munists immediately requested a brief recess to study them. U. Gen. William K, Harrison, chief UN negotiator at Panmun- jom. told the Communists the U'^f would not abandon the principle of voluntary repatriation, but he made these proposals to the Com¬ munists: ].—All prisoners of war will be brought to the neutral zone after the armistice and considered "ful¬ ly repatriated for the purposes of the agreement." Then tliey will i)e entitled to choose between (Ikunmunism and the United Na¬ tions command. 2.—Prisoners of war who refuse repatriation will appear in the neutral, demilitarized zone before a board of neutral nations agreed upon by both sides. The captives will state their preference of gov¬ ernments before this neutral com¬ mission. 3.—Prisoners of war who re- for montha fuse to return to their homelands will be delivered to the demili¬ tarized zone after other captives have been repatriated. They will then be turned loose without an interview or screening of any type. Variety of Choice Harrison told the Reds, "We have now offered you the widest selection of choices the United Nations command can offer." He proposed a recess for 10 days but the Communists request¬ ed another session at 2 p. m. to¬ day. Harrison told the Reds he want¬ ed the 10-day intermission in or¬ der to give the Communists timp to "give mature and careful con¬ sideration to our proposals." Harrison prefaced his new pro¬ posals with a re-statement of the two proposals already offered by the United Nations and turned down by the Reds. Harrison said his three new proposals "represent the only re¬ maining avenues of approach" to reaching an armistice.

General Believes 1954 Will Be Height Of European Tension
Fund Report:

Navy Clamps Blockade On Whole Korean Coast
WASHINGTON-Gen, Omar N. Bradley aald yesterday th* threat of war in 1954, which he considers tht greatest danger period, U less now than a year ago but the w«st«rn »Uie« dare not relax their d«fens« efforts.
The chairman of the joint chiefs •f staff, baclc from an 11-day round of conferences and inspec¬ tions In Kurop*. has told Presi dent Truman and Defense Secre¬ tary Robert A. LAvett that the west haa increased its security forces and the United States, he brlieves, has made more progress h«n Riiaaia in atomic weapons in the last y«ar. Some Dmgging Feet
But Bradley told a news con¬ ference some European nations are seizing on U. S. atomic pro- fresa as an excuse for not build¬ ing up their forces further, "dn- I>endlng entirely on our air power."
"I see nothing in the immedi¬ ate future to iutklty €hlV he aald.
He said the posisibiiity of war
"In the general area of 19S4" has
decreased with growing allied
strength In BJurope.
But he added:
"r still think the possibility of wsr In 1954 Is bo great we dare not l«t up.

Stevenson said Eisenhower has "tried not once, but several times, to make a vote-getting issue out of our ordeal" in Korea. "The General," Stevenson said, "accuses the government of having under¬ estimated the Soviet threat. But what about the General himself?
". . . In the years after the war, the General himself saw 'no rea¬ son'—as he later wrote—why the Russian system of government and western democracy 'could not live side by side in the World' In November, 1^5, he even told the House military affairs com¬ mittee: "Nothing guides Russian policy so much as a desire for friendship with the United States'."
The Governor said Eisenhower accused the administration of al lowing America to become weak.

Who Abandoned Korea?
Regarding the 'withdrawal of American forces from Korea, "the General acts as if this were the result of some secret White House decision," Stevenson said. "I would call his attention to the fact that while he was chief of staff of the U. S. Army the chiefs of staff ad¬ vised that South Korea was of little strategic interest to the United States, and recommended withdrawal of the United States forces from the country."
On the question of "writing off" Korea. Stevenson said he wa.-s "frankly astonished that my great opponent stopped at Cincinnati last week to the practice of lift¬ ing remarks out of context."
"The General," Stevenson said, "condems the Secretary of State's definition of our defense perime¬ ter in 1950 But the General fails to point out that this defense peri¬ meter was a line developed by the military authorities themselves. Surely it is a gross and discredit¬ able distortion to say that the Secretary of State took the lead in this matter.
"Twice In 1949 General Mac- Arthur, then our top commander in the Pacific, defined our de¬ fense perimeter in the terms later used by the Secretary of State. It was on the recommendation of our military authorities that Ko¬ rea and Formosa and mainland areas were not included in a di¬ rect military commitment." "False Charges"

Stephenson and his running mate. Sen. John J. Sparkman, plan to release their Income tax returns for the last 10 years, thereby hurling a challenge to Eisenhower to do the same.
Elsenhower's tax advantage on sale of the book came through a ruling by the Bureau of Internal Revenue that he could declare the Income as a capital gains, where the rate was only 25 per cent. Instead of straight income, where the rate runs much higher.
It has been widely reported that Eisenhower got $1,000,000 for all rights to hUs memoirs of World War II. netting '$750,000 after taxes. Straight income taxes would have reduced that amount considerably. Gave I'p Army Pay
But, there are some indications that when Eisenhower does pub¬ lish his account of the affair the profit will run much lower, pos¬ sibly less than half a million dollars.
Friends of Eisenhower also can be expected to point out that he voluntarily waived the more than $18,0 |
