Stevenson Attacks Wilson Over Defense Campaign Ties
Adlai Stevenson challenged the propriety of Secretary of Defense Wilson campaigning in politics at a Democratic rally in Albuquerque. He criticized Eisenhower administration policies including the AEC Dixon-Yates private power contract and a revision of atomic energy law, decrying a private game preserve for big interests. Stevenson urged Democrats to remember that defense and state departments should stay out of politics. Wilson later apologized for remarks about unemployment as a statistic, while Eisenhower pressed a farm policy message in Indianapolis stressing job creation and economic strength.
