Replying to repeated GOP at-
tack* on adniniatration foreign
policy, Vice-President Alben W
Barkley told a Chicago audience
last night that anyone who blamed
Democrat* for the two world war*
and the Korean conflict i* a “politi-
cal ostrich. ”
The three Democrat!* war presi-
dents, he said, did everything in
their power to avoid hostilities be-
fore they found no other “honorable
course” than to tight for American’
liberties.
In Tulsa. Okla., Harold E. Stas-
aen continued Republican blasts at
President Truman’s handling of U.
S. foreign affairs. He blamed Tru-
man for U. S. “deterioration from
a position of great strength to one
of weakness and danger” since
World War II.
Tha administration, Stassen said,
has been plagued “with weak and
confused policies.”

presidential candidate haa topped
the “high-level” approach be used
in 1948 and is slugging it out with
Rep. Walter A .Lynch, Ms Demo-
cratic rival, in street coraer meet-
ings in one of the state’s bitterest
campaigns.
Lynch, a comparatively ' un-
known congressman from the
Bronx, got a big break whan the
“Hanley letter” was disclosed.
A big, personable fair dealer,
Lynch has been hammering away
ever since with charges that Dewey
“bought” his third term nomina-
tion at the expense of LA Gov.
Joe R. Hanley, GOP candidate for
the L'. S. Senate.

is at odds with Dewey, said Han-
ley was assured of clearing up hla

publican Senate nomination. Up
to then he was the only avowed
candidate for the GOP guberna-
torial nominee. Within a few days,
Dewey announced he would run
again and Hanley became a Sen-
ate candidate.
The Senate elections committee
has ordered investigators to look
into the r.lleged “deal.”
Dewey tossed his kid gloves
aside after the “Hanley letter”
was revealed recently, and tore
into the opposition with a vigor
reminiscent of hi* ’racket-busting
days. He has denied any “deal”
was involved in his renomination
and has accused Democrats of
pouring millions into the campaign
to unseat him.
Democrats have accused Dewey
of another "deal” in the parole and
deportation of Charlea (Lucky)

York City. They also charge
Dewey has condoned organised
gambling in Republican areas
while cracking down in Democratic
strongholds. In addition, he has
been pictured as the tool of Wall
Street.
Dewey has denied all these
charges. .
He said his opponent was picked
by ’’crooked” Tammany Hall
bosses who wanted to get control
of the state government to in-
crease their influence. He defend-
ed himself against the Wall Street
charges by saying he is a poor
man “without one cent of stock.”
Dewey must reverse New York’s
recent voting trend if he is to be
re-elected.

CTEPHENV1LLE has gained
miny good citizens from Hlco
during the past 25 years but none
can claim a better record of citi-
zenship than Bill Hooker. He is
as sound as a dollar and solid aa
a rock. As a young man Bill got
out of public school in Hico and
accidently got into the tin business
while working part time in a hard-
ware store. When time permitted,
he would leave his hardware job
and piddle around in the shop. His
talent was such that soon he was
employed as manager of the de-
partment, later acquiring it by
purchase. Sale of the business here,
incidentally, was consumated on
Mr. Hooker’s birthday. To look at
him we’d guess him to be 65. But
he claims 73—no more or no less.

great moral and metropolitan pub-
lication we learned to love him
many years ago. However, Bill
says Young Mr. Tunnell is going
to keep up the record of friendli-
ness. Congratulations to both.
rpHE Empire, as a small city
1 daily, is not making an attempt
to compete with the metropolitan
newspapers and ordinarily con-
fines its efforts to local and area
wide coverage. None the less it
was quite a feather in our cap
when the first news of the attempt-
ed assassination on the life of
Persident Truman was carried in
these columns 12 hours ahead of
any other newspaper, large or
small. Leased wire service that
flows thru the news room in these
quarters is an expensive arrange-
ment but in instancea auch aa that
which occurred in Washington the?
past week it is well worth the
price. The story reached us at
2:30 p.m. and was printed in de-
tail one hour later. Thanks to so
many readers for their wolds of
commendation.

In kla speech prepared for deliv-

party Tuesday and appealed for s
big voter turnout to insure it. He
promised, If given a Democratic
Congress, to press hla campaign for
repeal of “union-buating” provis-

for enactment of his controversial
farm and health insurance pro-

Says There Are Two Big Issues
The president said the two big
campaign issues are isolationism
and “whether this country is going
forward here at home toward
greater strength and prosperity.”
Any farmer, workingman or busi-
nessman who votes Republican, he
aaid, “is voting against hit own in-
terests—and ought to have his head
examined.";
An overflow crowd of 12,000 Dem-
ocratic faithful jammed Kiel Audi-
torium here and millions of other
Americans—the Democratic Nat-
ional Committee estimated 66,600,-
000—followed his speech at home
over a network of 1,200 radio and

Friday evening’s meal honored
the officers of the district. Mrs.
Swan Richardson waa the charm-
ing hostess, Mrs. Ross Wolfe gave
the invocation, and Mrs. Roy Nuss-
baum, Fort Worth, presided.
The table decorations were black
and white. Gorgeous white rosea
and white chrysanthemums made
us like white decorations more than
ever. Perky block do, res and mis
were in evidence all up and down
the tables.
If we were teen-agers we’s say
that Friday afternoon’s program
was “out of this world.” Thia
was Student Afternoon. The pro-
gram contained chamber mudfc,
choral numbers, vocal solos, vio-
lin numbers. Student groups from
Texas Wesleyan College, South-
western Baptist Seminary, Mid-
Christian University presented the
program. Mias Sara Thompson of
S. W.- Baptist Seminary presided.

Applying the convention theme,
“Youth, The Musieians of Tomor-
row,” to the student program, we
could almost say, “These youths
are already musicians.”

Those who failed to hear the
evening musical are the losers.
Talent and beauty combined to
charm the audience. The pianists,
the vocal soloists, the accompan-
ists were all members of the con-
vention, each an outstanding music-
