He told reporters that Adlai Stevenson's H bomb and draft proposals have not caught on and urged voters to reject the draft plan.

Nixon planned stops in Boulder and Denver Colorado and then rallies in Nevada to aid GOP Senate hopefuls Clifton Young and Dan Thornton.

Draft End Bid Plan Denied By Eisenhower
President Eisenhower denied he ever considered announcing an end to the draft or H bomb tests during the campaign. He said he would go before the United Nations if necessary to help solve the Suez crisis and reiterated he would go anywhere for peace with justice. He dismissed reports that GOP strategists planned such announcements and announced a $5 million relief aid increase for drought-stricken farmers plus higher subsidies on government grain sales. Western railroads were asked to explore ways to aid farmers and ranchers in drought conditions.
