Ike's Speech Draws 14 000 at Coliseum Showing
General Dwight D. Eisenhower addressed the 53rd annual Veterans of Foreign Wars encampment at the Los Angeles Coliseum before about 14 000 fans. He called the speech non political but outlined a 10 point program seen as a campaign blueprint. He met with Richard Nixon and then flew to Denver as Adlai Stevenson seeks support in the South and prepares for upcoming primaries. Missouri results show Stuart Symington defeating J E Taylor in the Democratic U S Senate race as Republicans face mixed fortunes ahead of the fall campaign.
