Signs and Portents

I've been trying to read the sign on the left side of the picture. Can only come up with what appears to be in red letters:

"Adlai ****
Hiss
**Army(?)
1952 **"

I'm assuming it refers to Adlai Stevenson, Ike's 1952 presidential challenger and Alger Hiss, a State Department official, accused of having been been a communist and a convicted perjurer. Stevenson had been deposed as a favorable character witness for the Hiss trial.

Can anyone read it clearer and make corrections for the sign?
