AUSTIN. — A warning to be on
constant guard against the danger of
so-called “Fair Trade Law” which is
nothing but a “consumer-gouging”’
law was issued today by the Texas
Federation of Labor.
The Federation’s Weekly Newslet-
ter pointed out that Texas is one of
the three states which presently do
not allow price-fixing by national
distributors under a Fair Trade law.
“But there is always the danger
that the legislature will adopt one—
maybe even in the next session—un-
on guard,” the
Gins Here Turn Out IKE CENSURES
1284 Bales Cotton FEAR TACTICS
The State Department of Agricul-
ture announced this week that Gray-
son County has been quarantined in
the fight against the pink boll worm,
due to the finding of the insect in
this county. Collin and Hunt Coun-
ties were quarantined last year, and
it is believed that Fannin County will
also be placed under quarantine soon.
Quarantining of Grayson County
means that no cottonseed can be
shipped out of this county until it Js
sterilized, according to Lloyd Alex-
ander, manager of the Whitewright
Gin. No cotton can be shipped out
of the quarantine area until it is com-
pressed.
Under quarantine regulations, the
local gins cannot gin any cotton after
Dec. 1, and they must give the gin
building' and yard a thorough clean-
ing after burning all burrs.
Farmers will be required to cut
and plow under all cotton stalks not
later than Dec. 31. This procedure
has been in effect in much of Texas
already, with varying dates for turn-
ing under stalks.
CINCINNATI.—The United Mine

TYLER.—Radio Commentator Ful-
ton Lewis Jr. will introduce Senator
Joe McCarthy of Wisconsin when he
speaks here Friday.
McCarthy will speak on commun-
ism in government at a rally spon-
sored by the American Legion.
Max R. Wells, Tyler American Le-
gion commander, said Lewis has ac-
cepted an invitation to appear on the
program in the high school audito-
rium.
A 54-station radio network in
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, New
Mexico and Oklahoma will carry the
hour-long program from 8:30 to 9:30
p. m. Albert Brown, Texas Legion
commander, also will speak.
Judge F. W. Fischer of Tyler, for-
fer Democratic candidate for gover-
nor, will be master of ceremonies for
a program before the broadcast.
WASHIN GTON.—Democratic
lional Chairman Stephen Mitchell
Tuesday held the threat of political
reprisals over the head of Price Dan-
iel, Democratic nominee to the Senate
from Texas.
Daniel introduced Dwight D. Eis-
enhower at Houston Monday and said
lie will vote for the Republican pres-
idential candidate.
Daniel’s activities in behalf of
Eisenhower will be filed “in the rec-
ord book,” Mitchell told reporters at
•the White House after a call on Pres-
ident Truman.
He didn’t say that political patron-
age will be withheld from Daniel, but
the intimation was plain. Other Dem-
ocrats who bolt the party likewise
will go on the black books, Mitchell
indicated.
“I’m certainly going to remember
them,” Mitchell said. “And I believe
it is proper for a political organiza-
tion to give recognition to the people
who help the party’s candidates.”

TB Patients Faced
Because Of Space
WASHINGTON. — Chairman Lyn-
don B. Johnson of the Senate pre-
paredness subcommittee said Monday
there are “disquieting reports” that
an independent study of military
manpower waste is being stalled by
the Defense Deepartment.
The Texas Democrat made public a
letter to Defense Secretary Robert A.
Lovett asking what progress had
been made toward establishment of
an outside commission to make the
survey.
A subcommittee report last July 7
accused the Defense Department of
squandering military manpower and
recommended it set up a commission
of “eminent and qualified citizens” to
study the problem.

WACO.—Want to know why
vote like you do?
Dr. John E. Talley, Waco psychia-
trist and a fellow of the American
Psychiatric Association, explains it
thusly:
You don’t vote for the man you
think can win. You vote for the man
you think can defeat the man you
want to lose.
Like the difference between a lib-
eral and conservative, explains the
doctor, your first recollections of your
dealings with your parents has some-
thing to do with it, too.
SPARREVOHN, Alaska.—Working
in temperatures which plunged as
low as 60 degrees below zero, an Air
Force airlift has completed a top-
secret warning base tightening
America’s radar network in Alaska.
Code name for the base, disclosed
for the first time Sunday by the
Alaska air command, is Sparrevohn
located in a remote part of Alaska
believed untouched by man until the
airlift operations.
The State commander of the
American Legion, Albert D. Brown
Jr., of Austin, will be the principal
speaker on the program at the an-
nual fall convention of the Legion-
naires and Auxiliary members of the
Fourth Congressional District to be
held in Sherman next Sunday.
Carey Anderson of Denison, Fourth
District commander, announced that
Commander Brown will address a
joint session of the American Legion
and Auxiliary at 10 a. m. Another
guest will be A. R. Tyner of Dallas, a
national field representative of the
American Legion. At a noon lunch-
eon at the Grayson Hotel Arlis Tar-
vin, commander of the Sherman post,
will be toastmaster. Mrs. Fay Kill-
ingsworth of Denison, Fourth District
Auxiliary president, will preside over
the women’s section of the conven-
tion.

On the first day of spring, an 80-
year-old man suffering a heart at-
tach was brought into the office of a
Dallas physician. “Doc,” said the
loyal Texan, “just keep me alive un-
til next November, so I can vote.”

was by Rev. Harold S. Taylor. Spe-
cial musical numbers were given by
Guyla Wrenn , Sears, Wanda Sue

Mrs. Lackey introduced to
audience members of the school
board, faculty and staff. Benediction
was by Tildon McFerrin.
An informal reception was held,
after the meeting, and refreshments
were served.
WASHINGTON. — Boosted esti-
mates of the 1952 Texas corn and
rice crops and a cut in the estimate
of the 1952 Texas grain sorghum crop
were announced Friday by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
In its monthly report based on Oct.
1 conditions, the department esti-
mated the Texas corn crop at 39,117,-
000 bushels at 17 per acre, compared
with the September estimate of 36,-
816,000 bushels and 16 bushels per
acre.
Grain sorghum production in Tex-
as this year was estimated at 38,038,-
000 bushels and 13 bushels per acre,
considerably down from the Septem-
ber estimate of 40,964,000 bushels.
The Texas rice crop outlook was
boosted just a bit, from 13,128,000
bags of 100 pounds in the September
estimate to 13,402,000 bags
day’s report.
The Texas wheat crop,
harvested, was estimated at
000 bushels and 12 bushels per acre.
The Texas orange crop was esti-
mated at 1,200,000 boxes and the
grapefruit crop at 450,000 boxes.

Calvin Buchanan as reported in the
Denison Herald.
“As much as he (the printer) could
promise,” Buchanan said, “was that
he would try to have a few ballots
available by Friday.”
A similar snag delayed the start of
absentee balloting in the July pri-
mary election.
The law provides that absentee
balloting is to start 20 days before
and close three days before the elec-

“The fight upon the part of big

2,784 Texans To Be
Drafted In December
The Parent-Teacher Association-
isponsored Pet Show will be held
Tuesday night, Oct. 21, at 7:30 o’clock
.at Bryant Field. Admission will be
25 cents for adults and 15 cents for
children, and proceeds will go to the
PTA. There is no entry fee for pets
to be entered in the show.
All pet owners are urged to enter
their pets, and entries may be made
as late as the opening of the show
at 7:30.
Prizes will be given for the big-
gest pet, the smallest pet, the best-
dressed pet, the best-costumed child,
and the best-decorated vehicle. The
PTA urges children to enter their bi-
cycles, tricycles, scooters and kiddy-
cars. No vehicle larger than a bi-
cycle will be considered.
AUSTIN. — A December draft
quota for Texas of 2,784 men, to be
filled largely with 20-year-olds, was
announced Tuesday by State Selec-
tive Service headquarters.
The quota is the largest in nearly
two years.
Lt. Col. Morris S. Schwartz, dep-
uty state director of Selective Serv-
ice, said quotas for the state’s 137
boards would be determined later
this month.
Only 362 men were

Colonel Schwartz said, as the state’s

tors and 200 dentists.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson said Wednesday
night that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhow-
er has rounded up a team of “isola-
tionists and cut-throat reactionaries,”
quarter-backed by &OP Sen. Robert
A. Taft of Ohio.
Heaping ridicule and scorn on his
Republican opposition, the Demo-
cratic nominee swatted hard at a fa-
vorite target—what he calls the “Old
Guard” around Eisenhower, his rival
for the White House.
He said the group is made up of
“stubborn, obstinate men who have
had to be dragged, screaming and
kicking, into the twentieth century.”
In a speech delivered at the Cow
Palace Auditorium, Stevenson said
he has a hunch “that a lot of people,
Republicans apd independents, have
decided that it is indeed time for a
change—to the Democratic ticket.”
And he chose California, the home
state of Eisenhower’s running mate—
Sen. Richard M. Nixon—as the place
for a sharp dig at the vice-presiden-
tial candidate.
Stevenson listed Nixon at left half-
back on the Eisenhower team, and
then, in an obvious allusion to the
$18,000 fund Nixon received from po-
litical supporters, the Illinois Gover-
nor said:
“We would take his enthusiasm for
investigation and disclosures more
seriously if he would do a more com-
plete job on himself.”

FORT WORTH.—If Texans were
voting today, they’d go for Ike by
more than 2 to 1, Interstate Theatre’s
four-week straw vote poll indicates.
Second-week preference figures
from more than 100 theatres in 25
Texas towns gave GOP Candidate
Eisenhower 39,062 votes, with the
Democrats’ Stevenson trailing at 19,-
036. Eisenhower received 67.2 per-
cent of the total straw vote cast.
Last week’s balloting gave Eisen-
hower 68.3 plus percent of the 41,-
705-vote total. He got 28,516 votes
and Stevenson, 13,189.
At the halfway mark, 99,803 votes
have been cast. Of these 67,579 went
to Eisenhower and 32,225 to Steven-
son. The Republican candidate’s
percentage of the total vote stands at
67.75.
The poll ends Oct. 29, just
days before election.
Johnson Demands
Survey of Waste
SHERMAN. — Grayson County
Commissioners Court Tuesday made
recommendations to District Engineer
L. D. Cabaniss of the State Highway
Department for the 1954-55 second-
ary road program in Grayson County.
Commissioners asked for state and
federal funds on one new project in
farm-to-market roads in each of the
four precincts. First and second
choices were listed by each commis-
sioner.
Recommendations included: Pre-
cinct 1, from Dorchester east to
Highway 75, first choice, or from
Highway 82 west of Sherman north-
west to Pottsboro; precinct 2, from
Tom Bean east to Highway 69, or
from Ambrose northwest to Denison;
precinct 3, from Gunter west to the
end of Farm Market Road 1284, or
from Sadler north to Sandy Creek;
and precinct 4, from Finke north to
the federal reservation, or from
Sandy Creek to Gordonville.
County Judge J. N. Dickson said
Grayson County is scheduled to re-
ceive about $400,000 for farm market
roads in the 1954-55 construction
year.
The Whitewright Tigers, with one
•conference game safely tucked away,
will take on the Wolfe City High
School team on Bryant Field here at
8 o’clock Friday night in the second
■conference game of the year.
The Tigers spoiled the Whitesboro
Bearcats stadium dedication last Fri-
day night when they went on a scor-
ing spree and wound up on the big
end of a 39 to 6 score. This game is
covered in the Reflector section of
The Sun.
The Tigers are not expecting to
have too much trouble beating the
Wolfe City boys, but anything can
^happen in a football game. Whites-
Loro didn’t expect much opposition
from the Tigers, according to pre-
game reports, and look what hap-
pened.
A pre-game sale of tickets is now
in progress, and tickets may be pur-
chased from high school seniors up to
12 noon Friday at a discount, or they
may be purchased at the drug stores.
Adult tickets are on sale at 60 cents,
and student tickets at 25 cents. Prices
at the gate will be 35 cents and 75
cents.
The next five games on the Tiger
•schedule are conference games, as
follows:
Oct. 17, Wolfe City, here.
Oct. 24, Honey Grove, there.
Oct. 31, Van Alstyne, here.
Nov. 7, Cooper, there. .
Nov. 14, Farmersville, there.
Thus, we have two more home
games and play three away from
home to wind up the season Nov. 14.
Pet Show To Be Held
Here Tuesday Night
DALLAS.—Dwight D. Eisenhower
ended a two-day Texas cainpaign
tour here Wednesday with a charge
that his opposition is spreading fear
and lies.
He told railroad station crowds at
Dallas and Fort Worth that adminis-
tration supporters have such a bad
record that they have resorted to a
“fear campaign.”
Ike called charges
“rot” and “lies.”
And, taking the offensive, he spoke
of “the Korean mess” and “a sorry
record” of the administration. With-
out mentioning President Truman by
name, he said that Soviet leaders had
singled him out as their chief enemy
and not the man who once called
Stalin “Uncle Joe.”
His campaign, said Eisenhower, is
a “crusade for good government—the
kind of government American citi-
zens deserve and can have.”
Disloyal persons will be cleaned
out of the government if he is elected,
promised the Republican presidential
candidate.
Police estimated that more
23,000 persons saw Eisenhower
ing his three-and-a-half-hour
noon stay in the Dallas and
Worth area Wednesday. The police
estimate was 7,500 at the Texas &
Pacific station in Fort Worth, while
estimates of the overcoated crowd
that patiently waited in Dallas varied
from the police guess of 12,000 to
slightly more than 6,000 of newsmen.
Police said 2,000 saw him along the
route to Love Field and 2,000 more at
the airport, where he boarded a plane
for speaking da’tes at Shreveport, La.,
and Memphis and Knoxville, Tenn.
Two mishaps were slight mars on
his North Texas morning. A strong
wind ruined some of the decorations
at Fort Worth, and a railroad coup-
ling broke just outside the Dallas
railroad yards, delaying his arrival
here almost an hour.
“Big guns and little guns” are go-
ing around the country to oppose
him, said Eisenhower.
“They try to sell fear. Long ago,
the opposition has given up the de-
fense of its own record.”
Touching on the tidelands issue,
which is a major cause of the revolt
in the Democratic party in Texas,
Ike said his opposition was saying his
stand was not plain, that they were
confused by his statements.
If the opposition doesn’t know
where he stands on tidelands, he
said, “then they just can’t understand
one-syllable words in the English
language.”
His speeches in Louisiana and Tex-
as during the last four days have re-
peated previous statements that he
believes states, not the Federal Gov-
ernment, should have title to the
tidelands.
The twe Whitewright gins had
ginned 1284 bales of cotton up to 8:30
this morning, a gain of 103 bales since
last Thursday.
The gins were paying 3414 cents
for cotton this morning, one and a
half cents less than the price a week
ago and four and a half cents less
than the price six weeks ago. Cot-
tonseed is still bringing $75 at the
gins.
A year ago this week, 1070 bales
had been ginned locally, and buyers
were paying 35 cents for snapped cot-
ton and 36 cents for picked cotton,
and $80 for cottonseed. Last year at
this time cotton prices were going up
as the government corrected its bad
over-guess on production. This year,
the government under-guessed pro-
duction,
upward,
prices.
A county newspaper a few days’
ago published a story to the effect
that the oil test well between White-
wright and Van Alstyne may be re-
opened and drilled deeper. The Sun
asked R. A. Gillett about it, and Mr.
Gillett said that the remainder of the
machinery had been removed from,
the test site this week, and as far as
he had been able to learn no further
drilling is to take place in the well in
the near future. Mr. Gillett has been
identified with leasing activities in
this area for about two years.
The test had been drilled to about
8,900 feet when it was plugged and.
abandoned last summer. It was re-
ported that a show of oil had been
encountered, but this report was
never verified insofar as the public
was concerned.
A report was going around this
week that the Texas Company is
planning to drill a test well southeast
of Whitewright. When asked about
this report, Mr. Gillett said that he
didn’t think there was anything to it,
since the Texas Company does not
have enough acreage in the area to
justify a test well.
AUSTIN.—The state may be forced
to halt new admissions of tubercu-
lars to its hospitals for four months
or more.
That is what will happen, State
Hospital Board Executive Director
Larry O. Cox said yesterday if un-
used space at McCloskey Hospital at
Temple cannot be secured temporar-
. ily. The space is sought for care of
patients that must be moved from the
Weaver H. Baker Memorial Hospital
near Mission.
Cox reported after a trip to Wash-
ington that the head of the Veterans
Administration regarded state use of
McCloskey space for tuberculars as
“not feasible.” Temple citizens have
also opposed the project.
If the space cannot be
Cox said, state tuberculosis hospitals
at Tyler and near San Angelo will
have to halt new admissions until pa-
tients from Weaver Baker can be ab-
sorbed. That will take four to six
months at the present rate of turn-
over, he estimated.
