On koreay it is Eisenhower who scored heavilye lt is cer=
tain that his approach has gained the interest of the masses, and
that people trust him more on the issue than either Tyuman or Ste~
vensone :
On Corrupbion, it was the Republicans who counted heavily
on it for winninge As of now the issue seems to have been greutly

Stevenson funds the people have become thoroughly confuged, and

they would spring a new charge on Senator Nixons They plan this in
such a manner, as to bring it into the publie at a moment when Nie

tion eunulating vilest persobal attacks and the most impressive
array of finencial and press powere |
Many Republicen leaders feel, that only by stressing this
issue to the fullest extent could Eisenhower wine This observer is
not far from agreeing with theme
