for Stephens County and that
means .1 pledge list of 500 or mo.fc.
"The response has bee.) disap-
pointing," said Jan McCoy, chair-
man of the drive. "We had hoped
that all of our pledge cards that
were sent through the mail to
those persons who gave a pint of
blood last year would be returned
by now. Since definite appoint-
ments must be made i.i order that
no one will be kept waiting to give
hi.> pint of blood, we need those
curds immediately. We also need
pledges from people who tried to
give a pint of blood last year but
were unable to do so at that time.
In many cases it was for some
m nor reason and the majority
would be accepted this time. Cer-
tainly anyone reading the news-
paper or listening to the radio
mu it realize what a terrific a-
mount of casualties the armed
iving serious thought now to the j forces are suffering. A pint of
way at all it would not be out in
the cold.
Of course it is good to be on a
railway. On a waterway, or on an
airline for that matter. Time was
when small towns hustled greatly
tb get a rail connection. They fig-
ured their future was almost in the
past if they did not. Rut today
there are 1.788 communities, in-
cluding 43 county seats, in Texas
that are not on a railway. They
rely entirely on the Texas high-
ways. Most outstanding case is the
fact there is no direct passenger
train sen-ice now between Austin
and Houston.
As a result the Texas Highway
system ij taking a pounding little
dreamed of when even many of the
latter day roads were constructed.
It now takes over half the income
of the Highway Department simp-
ly to maintain the roads.

will have to sell, hay or no hay, it
was explained. Some cattle raisers
here already h3d purchased full
supplies of hay, paying $50, or
higher, per ton compared to the
top drouth aid price of $36 per ten.
However, many reported they had
no hay or cake on hand.
The hay is expected to start
rolling in here the last of next
week, probably Saturday. Legume
hay wss being preferred in the
applications. Mrs. Roth warns there
can bf .no guai mtee of whether
the legume wjll be alfalfa or clo-
ver. The hay is coming from Iojva,
M\inesotp and Wisconsin, and
much clover is raised in that pirt
of the country.
What the cattle situation here
wlH develop into shortly was a
Question today, and a serious one
at that. Mrs. Roth estimated that
2S per cent of cattle owners in the
country are hauling water, adding
that in the southwest part of the
county the percentage will run as
high as 30 to 35 per cent. Just
south of town where a 5-inch rain
fell this summer there is plenty of
water.
Mrs. Roth said a call to Ft.
Worth yesterday brought informa-
tion that cattle were being thrown
on the market there in numbers
to threaten the price structure.
So far tanks dug in this county
with federal aid have proved a
great salvation. Mrs. Roth' said
that In the past fourteen years
some 2,000 have been dug under
federal aid, beside-? those land
iowners have dug on their own.

Voters marked their ballots
Tuesday in eight state primaries
that will nearly complete the nom-

The polls opened in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Arizona, Colorado, New
Hampshire, Utah, Vermont and

renomination.
Massachusetts and Rhode Is-

candidates later this month.
Traditionally Republican Maine
swept GOP candidates to victory
in its first-in-the-nation state elec-

per cent of the vote.

AMARILLO, Sept. 9 ««J— In-
cumbent Rep. Clark W. Thompson
if Galveston and the ninth Texas
district won Democintic re-nomin-
ation in the second primary by 382
votes, according to an official can-
vass of returns from the election.
The official canvass of the dis-
puted race between Thomason and
colorful Sheriff T. W. (Buckshot)
Lane of Wharton county was an-
nounced Monday at Amarillo as
Texas Democrats gathered for
their second state convention.
At Galveston, meanwhile inves-
tigators completed a retabulation
of votes in the Congressional race
in Galveston county and came up
with the same totals previously re-
ported.
Lane demanded the attorney gen-
eral's investigation of conduct of
the election in Thompson's home
county, where the Congressman got
14,150 votes to 4,235 for the Whar-
ton sheriff.
Final district-wide unofficial re-
turns of the Texas Election bureau
gave Thompson a 252-vote margin
of victory in his bid for re-election.
Monday's official district-wide fig-
ures listed 29J90 votes for Thomp-
son and 29,600 for Lane.

AMARILLO, Sept. !) —Demo-
cratic Gov, Allan Shivers Tuesday-
called upon the party's state con-
vention to lead a fight against Ad-
lai Stevenson and to thundering
cheers freed the delegates to vote
for Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Cheers, applause and echoing
cries of "lay it on 'em," interrupt-
ed Shiver's keynote address 30
times as he urged his followers
to "make it plain that every Texan
is 1 'gaily and morally free" to vote
against Stevenson.
"We can and should let it be known
that when the contest is between
Trumanism and Texas, we choose
Texas," he said.
While the majority of the dis-
gruntled Texas Democrats \yere
united in opposition to the party's
presidential nominee, a hard-core
of ultra-conservatives promised a
floor fight aimed at adding the
name of Eisenhower tto the Demo-
cratic ticket.
The governor, to cries of "no.
no," told the delegates that in his
opinion such action was not possib-
le, and called for a "clearcut choice
between the nominees of the Dem-
ocratic and Republican national
convention."
Shivers demanded that the name
of Stevenson appear on the Dem-
ocratic ballot because of moral and

Church Drive
Is Under Way
The "Farrow Campaign" of the
First Methodist Church is getting
well under way as evidenced last
night at a meeting of committee
chairmen. This campaign procee-
dure, which was originated by Mr.
Roy L. Farrow of Dallas, is un-
der the leadership of George R.
Jordan, G;n. Chairman and Robert
E. Bo'vers, Chairman of the Steer-
ing Committee. Associate Chair-
men and members of the Steering
Committee are: Rev. W. E. Shipp,
Jim W. Wilkerson, Soliriation; C.
W. Waller, Mechanics; Ed Pace.
Education; and Mrs. E. R. McCa-
thren. Women. It involves five
times as many members as any
campaign the First MethodiU
Church of Breckenridge has un-
dertaken since it was erected in
1923 under Rev. John N. Rent fro.
The present membership is com-
prired of 758 members. The inter-
est and enthusiasm in the Farrow
Campaign was shown last Sunday
when there were over 300 adult*
and children present for Sunday
School alone. ,
This is a program designed to

the feminine voices develops very
gradually and "ripens" in the late
teens. The male voice, in contrast,
makes the well known "change"
during adolescence after which tho
adult bass, baritone, or tenor qual-
ity comes into being.
During the last three or four
years before this dramatic "cha-
nge", boys' voices are capable of
a remarkably beautiful quality of
tone. Because of this fact, boys
choirs have for centuries been re-
cognized as a fine medium of mus-
ical expression. It is not a scaled-
down version of a grown-up acti-
vity, but something complete and
worthy in its own right.
Though boys' singing may be de-
lightful to listen to, the highest
service of this work is the enrich-
ment it brings to the boys them-
selves. In learning to sing, a boy-
has a highly interesting activity,
and he develops a skill and an ap-
preciation which will remain his
for his lifetime.
The Boys Choir is being organi-
zed along lines believed to best fit
the community. Time is being ar-
ranged for rehearsals so that boys

As scon as the Allied fighter-
bombers began dropping high ex-
plosives on the military school, the
MIGs flew across the Yalu river

fighter-bombers.
"It was a beautiful day up then
for MIG fighti.ig," said Maj. Rich-

One of the destroyed MIGs was

They ieg lined the crest after a

But he said again: "I cannot and
will not support or vote for "the
nominees of the Democratic Na-
tional Convention.
He accused the National Demo-
cratic party of allowing "corrup-
tion, imeptiress and inefficiency in
high places . . . the infiltration of
Communists into high government-
al places ... an unstable and stale-
mated foreign policy ... and a new
and dangei-ous doctrine of 'para-
mount rights' . "
Labeled Trumanism
"These things we have been
fighting against are rolled up info
a single package and plainly la-
beled Trumanism." I want to see
an end to Trumanism in this coun-
try and I think the majority of
the people of Texas are of the
same mind."
"My regret is as deep as yours
that this September convention
finds us divided in opinion as to
the proper course for the Demo-
cratic party of Texas in the months
immediately ahead." he said.
But Shivers quickly added, "The
difference of opinion comes when
we try to decide what we are go-
ing to do about it."
Shivers broke with Stevenson be-
cause Stevenson is for Federal
ownership of the tid-elands.
"Those Texas Democrats who de-
dre t.i vote for the nominees of the
Democratic national convention,
and to vote for them on the Dem-
ocratic ticket, have the right and
>pportunity to do so. This conven-
tion," he said, "cannot justif*' dis-
franchising any Texas Demo-
cratic voter
Believes Course Sound
"1 believe the course I am rec-
ommending is the sound course to
be followed, because it is frank,
"orthright, and cl -ancut. It leaves
)o room," Shivers said, "for any
•harge of ballot tamperin". P has

"It causes no confusion. It lead.--
to no resentment or rebellion by-
he independent and undecided vot*-

ire entitled by law, custom and
justice.
"I further believe that the elec-
'ors rhos"t) by th Democratic par-
y of Texas should cast their votes
for the nominees of the Deinocrat-
c national convention if those nom-
nees receive the majority vote in
Texas next November.
"Any otlvr course would repu-
diate the principle of majority rule
lo which we are committed and

sen to represent.

his position that Stevenson's name
should be left o-a the ballot.
