Local Political Action Rises; Ike, Adlai, HST on Schedule

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will reach Cambridge Tuesday, October 21, four days before his opponent Adlai E. Stevenson. President Truman preceeds both nominees in Boston, speaking at Symphony Hall at 5 p.m. tomorrow, but at last word from Democratic Headquarters he will not cross the river.

Both Eisenhower and Stevenson will ride through the city in motor caravans. The Republican candidate will address his supporters on the Boston Common before starting through the Hub and into Cambridge. Stevenson is scheduled to arrive Saturday, October 25, but his headquarters has no release at the present time on where he will speak.

F.D.R., Jr. Speaks

In Cambridge the Volunteers for Stevenson have scheduled a rally at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow night in Brattle Hall with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. '37 (D.N.Y.) as the principal speaker.

Along with Roosevelt, Joseph A. DeGulielmo '29, Mayor of Cambridge, Edward A. Crane '35, City Councillor and former Mayor of Cambridge, and Boston attorney Endicott "Chub" Peabody '42, Harvard All-American, will also present Stevenson's candidacy.

Carl De Suze, Cambridge citizen and radio and television personality, will be chairman of the meeting. The Cambridge volunteers have been co-ordinating their work with that at University groups and individuals.

Republicans Tonight

The Republican Open Forum meets at 8 p.m. tonight in the Kirkland House Junior Common Room to debate the issue: "Which party can best further the interests of the working man."

To defend their party, the Republicans have scheduled State Representative Francis A. Harding '30, who has served on the Labor Committee of the House of Representatives.

The Democratic speaker will be Kenneth J. Kelley, Secretary-Treasurer of the Massachusetts branch of the American Federation of Labor. Kelley is also the chief lobbyist for the A.F. of L. in the state.

At the present time, much of the H.L.U. manpower has been put to use on the Civil Liberties Appeal. But the club also plans to canvass for the election of Stevenson and the Massachusetts slate of candidates it has endorsed. The H.L.U. will take no active part in the state senatorial or gubernatorial campaigns, since it does not support any of the candidates running.
