Dwight D. Elsenhower, Republican presidential candidate, "has never favored the appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican," a party spokesman said Thursday. This was a reply received from Arthur Vandenberg, of Eisenhower's campaign staff, by the Rev. Walter A. Wilson, pastor of Evangelical Missions Church.

The clergyman had asked the Republican candidate position on such an appointment. "Before considering any such action," Vandenberg continued, Eisenhower would seek the advice of the whole American people through their representatives in Congress. Thousands Flays II Tactics ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN (IP) President Truman charged Thursday that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has adopted the methods of desperate "political gang sters" and is being pushed for the Presidency in a campaign of lies, slander and fear.

Mr. Truman used some of his strongest language of the campaign in a speech at Cumberland, as he neared the end of his fourth whistle stop tour for Gov, Adlai E. Stevenson. He returned to Washington late Thursday and was greeted by Cabinet officers. THE PRESIDENT said the GOP national leadership has seized upon the "back street" tactics of Senator Joseph R.

McCarthy and adopted them "on a national scale this year." "Senator McCarthy, who was the ringleader In the back street campaign in Maryland in 1950, has been welcomed as colleague on the campaign train of the Re publican candidate for President," Mr. Truman said. "And the Republican candidate for vice president (Senator Richard M. Nixon) is engaged In nothing less than a false campaign of personal slander and innuendo against the honored and respwted public servant who heads the Democratic ticket," the President said. Wisconsin's Sehator McCarthy was a key figure in the 1950 Maryland election which saw Democratic Senator Millard Tydings defeated after Tydlngs' Senate Investigating Committee reported there was no basts to McCarthy's Communist in Government charges.

After castigating Eisenhower across West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, the President predicted the Republicans will "pulverize" labor unions if they elect a Republican president and Congress. He told his first crowd of the day, at Wheeling, W. "You'd better look out if you get that man in the White House. I dread to think what would happen to the labor movement if the Republican Party were returned to power." A CROWD estimated at 7,000 to 8,000 heard the President hit at Eisenhower's running mate, Sena tor Richard M. Nixon, as "one of the most antilabor men in the Congress." In Pennsylvania's steel-produc ing region, Mr.

Truman quoted Eisenhower as having said he'd have applied for a court injunc tion to halt the steel strike earlier this year If he had been in the White House. "He would have applied this useless and unfair procedure without regard to the merits of the dispute," Mr. Truman snapped. Mr. Truman will leave the Capital Sunday night for a Mid west speaking tour.

He will go on to his home town of Independ ence, to vote on Election Day. AT WHEELING, in his 160th speech of the campaign, Mr. Truman went about as far in assailing the Taft-Hartley Act as any union official has done. That law, he declared, "can wreck the American labor movement" "All it takes." Truman com mented, "is a few million unem ployed and an administration that is antilabor. And does anybody wonder which party you would get that MRS.

MARIE BLADZIK After it was over, Hike Looms for Better Cuts of Pork WASHINGTON -(m-Tht Government Thursday night cleared the way for butcher shops to raise their ceiling one to two cents a pound for better pork cuts, such as center chops, bacon and hams. The Office of Price Stabiliza tion said its action will mean slightly lower ceilings on cheaper or less sought-after cuts, such as bellies, spareribs and loin end roasts. THE SHIFTS In ceilings will be brought about by changes in the method by which meat retailers recalculate their pork products prices. Effective next Tuesday, retail ers buying fabricated or ready-cut pork can refigure their ceilings on the basis of percentage changes in their wholesale costs. Until now these butchers have adjusted their ceilings weekly on the various cuts by the exact dollars and cents amount of change in their wholesale costs.

The OPS said this has meant that expensive cuts have gone up by exactly the same amount as cheaper cuts. As a result, the agency said, retailers have not been able to realize the margins on pork items that they did before recent boosts in wholesale pork ceilings. 10 War Dead from State Brought Home The bodies of 10 Michigan men who died in the Korean War were among the 210 returned to the United States aboard the Prince ton Victory, which docked Thursday at San Francisco.

the Fnx Prcaa BAY CITY Fred M. Alger, warned Republicans not to become overconfident because polls show the Republicans ahead in Michigan. The Republican candidate for governor told a rally Thursday night that "if the polii put me ahead by a vote of 10 to 1, I'd still be determined to keep on plugging to the end." HE SAID he didn't think It was necessary for pollsters to dig so deeply for reasons for a Republican swing. The Democrats have been digging their own graves for years, he added. Alger charged that the Democratic Michigan Public Service Commission is holding back new utility rate boosts until after the election.

Awaiting disposition are pe tltions from the Michigan Consol idated Gas Co. and Consumers Power Co. for increases totaling about $20,000,000. Alger assailed what he termed "Gov. Williams' record of broken promises'' on a countrywide swing that climaxed his appeal for Bay County votes, A VISIT TO the Auto Lite factory originally scheduled was canceled, with assurance from management that the same rule would apply to his Democratic opponent Alger was told by hli supporters to count on a record vote due to the bulge In registration figures Republicans are claiming a clean sweep of the country.

QUOTING Gov. Williams In the last campaign, his Republican ri val made much of the Democratic claim at that time that the Service Commission was being manipulated. "We -wouldn't and we didn't vote to pay more for telephone service, jet it now costs a dime to make a pay-station call since Williams' Commission gave the Michigan Bell Telephone Co. an boost," Alger said. Alger said Williams wooed votes In 1950 on the claim the Service Commission would be a bulwark against gas and electric rate boosts.

"I'LL TELL YOU something In Strict confidence," he said. "Gas and electric rates will not be increased, not until after the election. "But Michigan Consolidated Is asking a rate increase and Consumers Power Co. has a similar bid pending. The cases have been on the grid for more than a year.

"If there was any prospect of denying the petitions, you surely would have heard about it before Soapy would have let you know before the election. Since it is likely to be bad news for the consumers, who have to pay, we'll have to wait until after for decision."

Got. Williams said that "this election is a referendum to determine whether next year's taxes will be paid by ordinary citizens or profit-fat corporations." Hammering away on his charge that Republicans wouid burden the working men with taxes to pay the State's running exposes, Williams brought cheers from guests at a Democratic rally in the Republic Hotel. WILLIAMS WENT bird hunting near West Branch Thursday morning and then flew to Lansing, where he spoke at a meeting of the Michigan Associated Feed Men.

lie arrived here by plane and was met at the airport by a 10-car caravan which followed him through Bay City streets to the gates of the Bay City Sugar Co. plant and the Bay City Shovel Co. He was accompanied on his tour by all the Democratic can didates for State office. Following his dinner rally, Wil liams joined a torchlight parade In his honor. HARPING ON his favorite campaign theme, Williams point ed out that the State contributes an average of $160 a year toward the cost of school for each child "If' that contribution Is cut by the Republicans," he declared, "who do you think Is going to make It upT "There will have to be new taxes or the Republicans will have to raid funds from other important budgets.

'The Republican tax program includes raids on school and city funds." WILLIAMS SAID that the Republicans have by-passed his advocacy of a corporation profit tax. He warned that there Is a distinct danger of the Republican Lesrtslature putting through a personal Slate income tax if a Republican gov- eronr is elected. "My opponent (Republican Fred M. Alger, Williams aid, "has been consulting with the Republican legislative tax committee, and he'll go along with them on their tax program." WILLIAM KELLY, Ninth Dis trict Democratic congresisonal candidate, said that Williams lost Bay City by only 1,000 votes in 1950. He said that there were registered voters at that time, and the number has been increased by 3,000.

Most of these he said, would vote Democratic. Williams' campaign will move Into Wayne County Friday. He is scheduled to make 15 stops that day. WITH You're SET You're Only 51 days to rm 1 But a second team got $2,000 from 67-year-old Mrs. Mary Raber, of 10215 Woodlawn, police said.

In the downtown hoax attempt, the eye of Traffic Patrolman Clifford Baxendale, 26, flicked from passing cars to land on a huddle on the corner of Broadway and Gratiot axen dale, who has only years on I the force, saw 'Mrs. Marie Bladzik, 63, of 7803 Normile, 'displaying a I large sum of money to two Baxendale women. "What's going on he demanded after a cat-footed approach. Two of the women, Vera Coop er, 45, ana Irene KoraeisKi, zo, said they had seen Mrs. Bladzik with the money and were trying to protect her.

Mrs. Bladzik denied this. She said she met the women in the Broadway Market when one of them supposedly found a purse containing a sum of money. "I was offered a share, hut they asked me to put up $3,500 to show good faith and I Just got it out of the bank." AT POLICE headquarters, Miss Cooper was identified, through registration of her automobile. Patrolman Baxendale's eye had caught her trying to tear up a parking-lot ticket while he was phoning for assistance.

Miss Cooper, who was sentenced In 1948 In Detroit for larceny by conversion, Is being held as a parole violator. Miss Kordelski has no Detroit police record. Both women denied accusations. When the plot was explained by nnllce to Mrs. Bladzik she said: "I don't know what we would have done if we'd lost that money.

My husband and I plan on retiring on it." BUT NOBODY saved Mrs. Raber from the second confidence team. As one walked near Mrs. Raber on the sidewalk at Harper and Gratiot, her partner picked up a purse from the sidewalk a few yards ahead. As usual, the pocketbook was well-loaded, and, as usual.

Mrs. Raber was offered a one-third cut if she would put up money to show good faith. Mrs. Raber withdrew $2,000 from her bank on the corner and turned it over to the pair, agreeing to meet them later when they divided the money. After keeping a lonely street-corner vigil for some time, she told her story to police.

Nobel Prize Atmrded to U.S. Doctor i STOCKHOLM () The 1952 Noble Prize for Medicine was awarded Thursday night to Dr. Selman A. Wakaman, 64. of Rutgers University, co-discoverer of streptomycin, an antibiotic used against tuberculosis.
