The Democratic candidate for vice president, touring upstate New York heavily Republican told a forum in Utica: "If I were a Republican, I would no more mention inflation than I would mention a. rope in the house of a man who has been hanged." Sparkman concentrated his at tack on the Ohio senator, pressing the Democratic contention that Taft had persuaded Gen. Dwight D.

Eisenhower, the GOP presidential nominee, tc shift campaign policies at their recent "harmony" meeting in New York City. The Alabama senator said Taft "must be a six-star general" because Gen. Eisenhower and his five stars had surrendered to the Ohioan. In a prepared speech Sparkman said that Taft voted in Congress 12 times between 1947 and 1952 to "Weaken or cripple price con trols."

The President halted his 16 car whistle stop special in Northwestern Montana to drive to the dam, at 564 feet the world's third highest. Then he gave a dedicatory address, at the high school gymnasium in Kalispell, contending the Republican presidential candidate changed his views on such public works "like one of the lobbyists for -the private power monopolies." Earlier, hi an unscheduled rear platform appearance at Columbia Falls, Truman told his listeners: "If you want to forego the privilege of these great assets and improvements, go ahead and vote the Republican ticket. You will get what you deserve and I won't sympathize with The President took time during his usual breakfast hour walk alongside the train to chat with a cowboy and look at his horse. Truman even examined the animal's teeth and concluded it was about eight years old. The crowd filling the Kalispell gymnasium was estimated by po lice at more than 5,000.

Other thousands of Montanans cheered and waved to the President during the drive to the big concrete dam on the south fork of the Flathead River. Truman said Eisenhower changed his attitude regarding federal projects between a visit to Boulder Dam last June and a trip to Boise, in August. He quoted the GOP nominee as saying of the Boulder Dam. the world's highest such structure: Here we have aperfect example of doing something for all the people and doing it intelligently." At Boise, Truman went on, Ei senhower charged the government is applying a leftist philosophy. He quoted Eisenhower as saying: "The government will build the dams; the government will tell you how to distribute your power; the government" will do this and that; the government does everything but come in and wash the dishes for the housewife." Truman said the "Democrats will plead guilty to building the dams.

And as far as washing the dishes is concerned, we have made a lot of progress on that, too. "We've made it possible for housewives to get heap electricity so that they can afford to have electric washers to do the dishes, and we have brought electricity to millions of homes that never had it before. "And this has been done over the opposition of the Republicans the utility companies." Byrnes Continued From Page One son why they should, but I hesitate to make any predictions because of lack of information." Coolev. chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, asserted that he found Stevenson definitely opti mistic about his presidential chances, and that "he has every reason to believe he will win." Cooley asserted that Stevenson had been trying to fit a North Car olina visit into his itinerary, but had been unable to do so. He said Stevenson said it would be impossible for him to campaign in North Carolina.

The North Carolina representa tive declared in a general way with Stevenson about a major farm ad dress which the Democratic nomi nee is to make Saturday in Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Cooley said Stevenson was correct in declaring earlier that Eisenhower had "plowed under" the farm plank of the GOP platform. Cooley added that Eisen hower has repudiated what Cooley termed the platform's advocacy of a flexible parity program. Rutherford Continued From Page One said he was staying until they evacuated all the wounded.

1 UB For mer Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who will be 81 tomorrow, is on the mend from his recent criti cal illness. document. He said the study reacnes the conclusion that whichever party wins 62 critical counties in a dozen key states' will win the election. The document released here mentions only 49 counties. and there was no immediate re conciliation of the figures.

Levin said his study was market ed by the Ted Bates Advertising Agency and tnat a number of wealthy men took an interest in it He mentioned Texas oilman James Stanton, banker Winthrop Aldrich and millionaire John Hay Whitney as having contributed or planning to donate to various state Repub lican funds with the idea that smaller contributors would chip in. '00, to nnance tne radio-TV blitz. But to New York Aldrich said through a spokesman he had made no such contribution. Asked if this meant Aldrich would not make a contribution in the future, the spokesman said Aldrich had no turther comment on the matter. The spokesman said Aldrich was chairman of the United Renubli can finace Committee and that the committee had made contributions to the Republican cam paign but these were for 'general expenses.

Whitney could not be reached foi comment immediately. McKeever told newsmen that Levin was originally an Eisenhower backer and then switched Al legiance to Stevenson. McKeever also said a New York banking company, which he named as Lehman Brothers, reproduced 500 copies of the document. And he added that copies also were in the hands of the Democratic National Committee within four days after the document was completed. me document Ball distributed listed the 12 key states where the Eisenhower campaign would be concentrated as Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and California.

The states have a total of 249 electoral votes. "These, plus the 30 assured Republican (electoral) votes will give Eisenhower 279 votes, 12 more than are needed for victory." the document says. It also proposes that in 49 counties in the 12 states, "an all-out saturation blitz'' program of TV and radio spot plugs for Eisenhower be concentrated. "The spots themselves would be the height of simplicity," the document continues. "People from each of the 49 areas would ask the gen eral a question.

Apparently they would be speaking directly to the general, though actually to simplify production and reduce the load on the general's time, they would be filmed separately." McKeever said the Stevenson camp knows that the plan outlined in the document already has been "adopted in essence'' by the Re publicans, "but we do not know in what specific detail." He added: "We know that the general has begun to make recordings, and ap proaches have been made to get the air time." In his speech. Ball said the Ste venson Volunteers organization 5s flat broke and that it managed just in nick of time to get together $55,000 to pay for a nationwide radio and television speech which Stevenson made from Chicago Monday night. Appealing for funds. Ball said: "We are broke because unlike our Republican opponents we do not have the great banks and investment houses, the steel masters and oil magnates, the motor-makers and money makers to underwrite our campaign. We do not have one Rockefeller, DuPont, Morgan, Mellon, Ford or Pew." Ball said "high-powered hucksters" are charting the Republicans'- TV radio campaign, and added: "They guarantee their candidates to be 99 44-100 per cent pure; whether or not they will float remains to be seen." The document Ball made public says, among other things, that Eisenhower's chance for "getting electoral votes from the South, even in Texas, are not good." Money and effort could be spent more fruitfully in Eisenhower's behalf in other areas, it suggests.

The "sure" states assigned to Eisenhower are Vermont, Maine, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and New Hampshire. But, says the document "to make this a tough and realistic appraisal for ReDublican victory, doubtful states are beinsr credited to the Democrats." Stevenson himself arranged to meet with Ball and other representatives of the Volunteer organi zation at the executive mansion tonight. During the day, Stevenson conferred with Rep. Harold D. Cooley (D-NC), who later told newsmen he found the Democratic pominee "definitely optimistic" about his chances in November.

In another development, Murray Flanders, assistant press secretary to Stevenson, said he -tFlanders) was standing by his statement yes terday that the governor received "several thousand" laudatory telegrams within a few hours after his Chicago campaign speech Monday night. Reporters called Flanders' attention to a Chicago Daily News story saying' that actually only 340 telegrams were received. "It isn't true." Flanders said. When reporters demanded proof Flanders said he would recheck the count. He said later that he had done so, and that he was right about several thousand telegrams having been received.

A police captain estimated between 35,000 and 40,000 people were crowded around the flag-draped rostrum beside the city hall. The crowd stretched back for two blocks in three directions. Downtown streets were lined solidly with spectators, roaring and yelling.

Police put the figure at 12,000 his first stop in Bay City, a city of 52,000 population. It was an early morning whistle stop appearance. When his train got to Saginaw, some 20,000 people were massed in a great three-quarter circle in the open space around the train. Police had areas near the track roped off, but the crowd surged toward him once the general and "my Mamie," as he sometimes describes his wife, appeared on the rear platform. Eisenhower's route through Michigan led through Bay City Lapeer, Flint, Lansing, Jackson and Grand Rapids.

In 1948, President Truman carried three of the seven counties in which these cities are located. He lost Michigan, however, by 35,000 votes. The state has 20 electoral votes and both parties are fighting hard to carry it this year. In his whistle stop, Eisenhower stressed his crusade theme and again characterized the present government as "a scandal-a-day administration. At Bay City, Eisenhower lifted a tow-headed little boy up so the crowd could see him and said: "This is Jimmy.

He spotted the train about a mile away and kept chasing it and I thought he deserved to get up here with us." Then he handed Jimmy Wald- zak. 7, down into the arms of his father and Jimmy told a newsman "Shucks, the -train was hardly going. I could have kept up with it for a lot longer."

And our friends should not have to look over their shoulders, wondering where we stand." Eisenhower appeared in seven key cities.

A compilation of police esti mates of crowds indicated that somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 people saw and heard him. Crowds ranged from 5,000 to 20,000 at the back-platform talks from his campaign train. But in Flint and Jackson, where he motorcaded through the streets and spoke from rostrums, the at tendance went up much higher. In Flint, a police officer fixed it between 35,000 and 40,000 and in Jackson it was estimated at 12,000 to 14,000. The streets along his route were solidly lined on both sides, and storms of confetti drifted down from business build ings.

His Democratic opponent. Gov. Adlai Stevenson, covered some of this same Michigan area last Sept. 1. The crowds were bigger today, and they appeared to be more enthusiastic.

All along the route, Eisenhow er whip-lashed the Democrats on the issue of foreign policy. As always, and especially in the informal whistle stop talks, he touched on the other major issues as well. But his emphasis today was on foreign affairs. In part. that was because Michigan was the home state of the late Sen Arthur Vandenberg, a principal Republican architect of foreign policy.

Speaking in Lansing, the capital, Eisenhower hit directly at the Truman administration. He said: "We think there has been enough imiermg- arouna, enougn indeci sion, and enough failures in that field (foreign policy) in seven years." President Truman took of fice In 1945. He did not reply directly to charges hurled at him by the President within the last two davs tnat the advice he gave in 1945, respecting the Soviet Union was faulty. He declared today: "We are determined to pursue in the foreign field a comprehensive. firm, broad policy that will truly lean: toward peace." As his campaign train rolled through Michigan, the general was joined by two influential Republican leaders.

Sen. James Duff of Pennsylvania, one of Eisenhower's original backers, came aboard at Lansing. And Tom Coleman, Wis consin industrialist, boarded the train on Tuesday night Coleman was floor manager at the GOP convention for Sen. Ro bert A. Taft.

He has worked closely with Sen. Joseph R. Mc Carthy of Wisconsin. Coleman indicated he may stay on the train until it reaches Wisconsin. In Jackson where he visited the spot where the Republican party was first organized Eisenhower linked internal prosperity with the foreign problems.

"The old virtues of thrift and economy must be practiced. Unless we do that, we cannot preserve the kind of America necessary to bring us peace in the world." He said the economic strength of the United States is a prerequisite to continuing to lead the rest of the free world. "We cannot, must not, in time of peace and in time of prosperity, run into debt." Earlier, Eisenhower accused the Democrats of fomenting disunity in America on the great, over-riding issue of foreign policy. He said the Truman administration has claimed all the credit for the successes and has obscured the contributions of the Republican party in shaping decisions on foreign affairs. Vice-versa, the GOP presidential candidate declared, "Where there were bad results, as in Korea, they attempted to shift the blame onto the Republicans." The net effect, Eisenhower said, has been to endanger national unity and risk a wide-open split between the parties in a critical field of action.

The general told an audience in Flint: "I do not believe that bipartisan ship in foreign policy can survive such partisan treatment.
