ENROUTE WITH STEVENSON
*U.P>—Adlai E. Stevenson cam-
paign by train und motorcade
through Pennsylvania today trying
to nail down the Keystone state's
32 electoral votes.
The Democratic presidential no-
minee will go to Pittsburgh to-
night when he will deliver his tele-
vision "answer' 'to President Ei-
senhower's attack on the Demi>-
cmts two days ago.
Stevenson boarded the campaign
train at Hoboken, X. J.. Tuesday
nijrht after disclosing his plans
for tonight's TV speech in a school
auditorium at Jersey City, X. J..
He said that In speeches at
Cleveland and Lexington, K>\, Mr.
Eisenhower .vtid the election would
turn on which party "has done
more to help all citizens meet the
problems of their daily lives."
Oklahoma Farmers
Get Drought Aid
TULSA ir.P) — Undersecretary
of Agriculture True D. Morse said
today that the federal government
has provided more than $26 mil-
lion worth of aid to drought-hit
farmers in Oklahoma in the last
two years.
He said the aid consisted of
grain and hay programs and food
for needy farm families. In addi
tion, he said, farmers and ranch-
ers in drought areas have benefit-
ted from several special types of
loans.
Morse promised that aid will be
continued "in a major way." He
gave the pledge in a speech pre-
pared for delivery at the Tulsa
state fair.

is 242.2 acres, up 26.9 acres over
the I960 average.

than $150 million worth of pro-
perty. Emphasis this year will be
placed on steps farm and ranch
people can take to eliminate fire
hazards. Although the lack of wa
ter hinders us from planting trees,
shrubery, und grass to improve our
yards and general landscapes, a
great deal of work can be done to-
ward cleaning up, painting, repair-
ing the things that we do have to
improve appearance as well as to
remove fire and safety hazards.
We overheard a group of farm
women talking the other day and
their remark was that most far-
mers have plenty of time now to
do some repair work about the
farm since the lack of rain has cut
down the actual amount of work
that is usually done at this time
of year in the fields.
A new type package eliminates
the need for measuring cups when
using sugar, salt, flour and simi-
lar products. . . A new com part -
mented cardboard box that will
pour free-flowing materials in
measured amounts has been devel-
oped. This is in line with the trend
toward more convenient packages
for the consumer.
Ann Harrell remarked the other
day that if ever she undertook to
participate in a clothing construc-
tion program again and carry on
her usual eight hour a day duties
in the office, some changes would
have to be made and she is not a-
lone in her feelings at this point of
construction in a tailored garment.
Taping lapels, collars, and other
steps in completing a suit or coat
are difficult, and in this last phase
of those participating are eager to
finish and we hope you will be an-
xious to see the results of their
work at our achievement event
which will be announced soon.
Fifty livestoekmen, and dairy-
men were present at the court-
house last night to see if anything
could be done about getting hay
into the county at a cheaper price.
A previous call to Mr. A. S.
Rhodes, assistant to the State Co-
ordinator of Civil Defense and
Disaster, in Austin, indicated that
under the Railway Commission Or-
der No. 55, freight rates could be
reduced by the railroads up to
March 31, 1957.
J. B. Jones said that he knew
that Gordon, Texas was receiving
a reduced freight rate at the pre-
sent time. To look into the matter
of getting freight rates reduced in
Stephens County, Jones made the
suggestion that a committee be
set up. Volunteers for the commit
tee included Roger Carey, A. R.
Knight Glen Taylor, and Lee Bur-
gess. They will travel to Gordon

VESTING THE POLITICAL WINDS — Two pillow - like

shown at the moment of launching 111 downtown Minneapolis,

today for information on the rates.
R. P. Kinsey, inspector for the
Feed Control Service, gave a short
talk on the feed laws of Texas. In
his talk he pointed out that 99
per cent of the feed dealers are
honest and they do their best to
put out good feed. The tag on the
bag is a buyers guarantee that the
feed in the bag is exactly what
the tag indicates that it is. He also
emphasized that the present feed
law was written in 1905.
Roger Carey of Caddo recom-
mended that everyone should check
the hay that they buy to make cer-
tain that they do not receive any
that is wet. Carey lost two heifers
from feeding in hay which had
been wet.
Bulletin number B 218 entitled
Emergency Feeding of Livestock
may be secured by contacting the
county agents' office. This bulletin
goes into detail on the many
roughages that can be used during
an emergency period as we are
now experiencing. It explains that
ground cotton gin trash, including
leaf trash, a small percent of im
mature seed and some lint and
burs have been used to replace
cottonseed hulls, and as half of the
roughage in mixtures containing
ground alfalfa hay, ground sor-
ghum grain and cottonseed meal.
The value of cotton gin trash de-
pends to a large extent on the per-
centage of immature seed and
leaf trash. It may contain from 6
to 10 percent crude fiber Experi -
ments have also been made on the
use- of mesquite for a roughage. It
has about the same value as cot-
tonseed hulls, but the expense
comes in grinding it into a form
suitable to feed to livestock.
Stepfather Killed
By Ft. Worth Boy
FORT WORTH A 12-year
old junior high school boy held a
.38 caliber pistol in both hands
Tuesday night and fatally shot his
stepfather.
The boy, Billy Raney, told po-
lice he killed Robert Clark Ennis,
46, because "I was tired of him
beating us up like he had been
doin' .-ill these years."
The boy said he came home to
the trailer house where he lived
with this mother and stepfather
to find his stepfather drunk and
cursing his mother.
When the stepfather left the
trailer house for a few minutes
the boy took the pistol that was
lying on top of the television set.
When Ennis came back in the
house the boy was lying on a cou-
ch. He sviid he took the gun in
both hands and pulled the trigger
three times.
All three bullets struck Ennis in
the left chest in a four inch pat-
tern. He staggered from the kitch-
en doorway and fell dead in the liv-
ing room.
Fraud-
When you barbecue a chicken,
the easiest way to tell when it is
done, is to grasp the thigh joint
between thumb and finger of the
left hand. Hold the end of the
drumstick with the right hand and
turn. When the leg bone in the
drumstick turns freely from the
meat, the chieen is done.

cript of a court of inquiry Sep*.
26, in which the two Negro stu-
dents—Jessalyn Gray, 18, and
Steve Poaton, 17—testified that
the suit was filed by the NAACP
without their knowledge.
NAACP attorneys W. J. Durham
and C. P. Bunkley Jr. said that
Shepperd, through his assistant,
L. W. Gray, who conducted the
court of inquiry, had violated Fed-
eral law and perpetrated "an at-
tempt to obstruct justice."
Assistant Attorney General
Gray, under questioning today said
that he had read about the Fed-
eral case, but that the names of
Miss Gray and Poston were only
two of many on a list to be ques-
tioned.
No Basis Claimed
First Assistant Attorney Gener-
al Davis Grant said that since the
NAACP itself had nsked Judge
Sheehy to dismiss the action, there
was no basis to the contention that
the court of inquiry was an ob-
struction to anything.
Rather, he said the NAACP
looked as if it were guilty of an
attempt to perpretrate fraud on
Judge Sheehy's court.
Court was recessed from noon
until 2 p. m.
The state Introduced a letter da-
ted Jan. 8, 1952, from Tate to Dr.
George Flemings, Fort Worth, in
which Tate said he had been invit-
ed to an NAACP conference in
New York to "plan the type of liti-
gntiuii we want to «et started ill
1952."
He Invites Suggestions
Tate invited Flemings to "set
out the type of suit you would
like to see filed" and asked him to
ify whether it would be in the
id of desegregation in hospitals,
transportation, recreation or
schools.
A series of letters between Tate
and John J. "Jones, Teicarkana Ne-
gro undertaker and local NAACP
leader, was introduced also. The
series of letters concerned among
other things the admission of Ne-
groes to Texarkana Junior College
as well as use by Negroes of
Springlake Park swimming pool
in Texarkana. *
In connection with the NAACP
effort to admit Negroes to Spring-
lake Park, Tate wrote Jones, July
15, 1956, that the efforts by JAnes
had received "wide publicity" . . .
and "since Texarkana is in bad fi-
we need worry about them provid-
ing dual facilities."
They Invite Ban
Tate suggested in his letter
you can get a few Negro chil/f'
and-or adults to go to the( ^
ming pool . . . and be refv '
are in business." is r
Tate said that the lab-
our side." Earlier letters from
Jones to Tate enclosed full lists
of names and addresses of grad-
uate from Dunbar Negro high
school in Texarkana, Tex.r and
Washington Negro high school in
Texarkana, Ark.
