WASHINGTON <!'!•>— President
Eisenhower said today that Rus
sia's new rulers continue to fol
low dictatorial methods despite
their extreme attacks on the late
Josef Stalin.
Speaking in measured tones,
Mr. Eisenh iwer said the new So-
viet rulers have made no effort
to change their dictatorial nieth
ods. In the President's view, they
merely are saying that the wrong
individual was in power.
In other news conference com-
ments the President:
1. Made another plea against
heavy cuts in his foreign aid pro-
gram. He said that unless Con-
gress suppirts the administra
tion's $4 9 billion program ade
<iuately and cheerfully, this nation
faces the prospect of spending ad
ditional billions on more weap-
ons for itself.
2. Disclosed that the United
States is re evaluating its policy-
tow aid Marshal Tit > and his Yu-
goslav Communist regime. The
President would not say, how-
ever, that the United States
should cut off foreien aid to Yu-
goslavia now that Tito is becom-
ing friendly with Moseiw again.
The United States must do what-
ever serves its best interests in
this situation.
He disclosed that Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles will
speak Saturday at Iowa State Col
lege. Ames, in an effort to etch
in simple form for the American
people the basic considerati >ns
behind the foreign aid program.
4 He said he did not believe
it proper for him to interfere in
the Wisconsin Republican primary
where Sen. Alexander Wiley,
staunch administration foreign
policy supporter, has been en
count'-ring difficulty. He said-Wi-
ley agreed with this position.
S.Said that Russia's invitation
to Gen. Nathan P'. Twining, Air
Force chief of staff, would he
reciprocated with the same cour-
tesies if high Russian officers
wish to come to this ountry.
The President said that he did
not know that any invitations
would be extended. But he said
that if Twining's opposite number
wished to come he would be wel-
come and extended the same kind
of courtesies extended t> Twining.

Weekly News
With insects and lack of rain
still the main topic of conversa
tion with gardeners, farmers, and
homemakers alike, there doesn't
seem to be anything else to dis-
cuss. Down at Robert Ledbetter's
farm last Thursday his rain gauge
measured 1.2 inches and smiles
were thick around that area. Mrs.
Albert Gentry has been telling us
about her prospective bean crop,
but her water pump has been
bi-oken and not being able to irri-
game, she feared another day-
would be the end of her hopes of
canning beans, so we hope the
showers in that area were suf-
ficient to hold her bean vines over
a few more days.
Mrs. Dial Raney from the La-
rasa Community reports that the
grass in their pasture is better
than it has been in years, and
that their calves are in top shape.
She has b« Jn feeding 14 calves
herself this year and they are
the prettiest they have had, she
says.

Segregation Brought Biggest Cheer

SEGREGATION IN TAIN HERE
Segregated Bus
Seating Banned
ATLANTA <r.H>— Segregated
bus seating, banned in Montgom
ery Ala, by a federal court de-
cision and boycotted in Tallahas
see. P'la., came under fire today
in Memphis, Tenn.
The National Associati >n for the
Advancement of Colored People
filed suit at Memphis Tuesday, at-
tacking constitutionality of state
laws requiring bus segregation
and urging a speedy hearing be-
fore a three-judge federal court
panel.
Montgomery's and the state of
Alabama's laws requiring Negroes
and whites to sit apart was de
clared unconstitutional Tuesday in
a 2 1 decision.
There was no sign, however, of
an immediate ending of the six
month Negro hoycot of Mont-
gomery's city transit system.
Boycotting Negroes in Mont
gomery and at Tallahassee, where
■buses have been shunned for 10
days, hailed the Montgomery
court decision as a "victory" anil

Parents Are Advised
Of Steps To Take On
Visiting Boy Scouts
late<t word from the group
at Camp Billy Gibbons, received
by Bill Woods via Ham Radio this
morning, was that all were well
and in fine shape, but the import-
ant message was for parents who
plan to c ime to camp on Sunday.
Leaders of the troops at camp
suggested that all parents who
intend to come visit camp on Sun
day plan their meal at the noon
hour as a picnic lunch to be eaten
outside the mess hall. The traffic
is expected to be rather heavy
at the no in hour there, and the
local leaders felt that the parents
would enjoy eating a picnic lunch
rather than suffer the heavy-
traffic as well as the extreme
heat in the mess hall.
N i rain has been reported by
the campers this year in contrast
to the heavy rains which were
experienced last year, but they
do report extreme heat, making
all a little bit uncomfortable.
IIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIII.MII..U.I.I*' 'MIIMItlllllll IIIUimilMIII'
Former Governor and U. S. Sen-
ator W. Tier* O'Daniel complete
with his "hillbilly band" spoke for
about 4o minutes to a crowd of
approximately "00 people on the
Court House lawn Wednesday
morning in the first "stump
speech" political rally in Breck-
enridge.
Stressing water and segregation.
O'Daniel also promised help to the
helpless and the veterans. He
pledged his support in cleaning up
•lie corruption in Austin, and to
'ind out just how much corruption
there is there.
"They've only caught one of
them (land b< arriT members) so
far." he sa'd. "I don't think it is
'I'lit. fair for one man to have to
go to the pell while the others go
on into higher political offices. I
don't know who else is guilty, but
I intend to find out come Jan-
uary."
The veteran's cash payment was
mentioned as one of his planks.
"There is no use in going out and
buying a bunch of old. worn-out
land for a dollar an acre, then
-ell it to the veterans for $a" or
<tio an acre, then let the Federal
"ovemment k op them alive with
their river h->nks or soil banks or
whatever they call it just long
■noiigh to vote in the next election.
The veterans had enough sense
to win the war. so I am sure thev
have enough sense to spend their
money. We'll give it to them, they
fought for it, they deserve it."
The old age pension came into
Us slvire of the applause wh"n the
former governor reminded the
rowd that he was responsible for
the pension being raised, "and I
will raise it again " he said. "The
•ax money from the bill which 1
passed for the pension fund is
ijling up. What did the legislators
lo with the money? They rave
themselves a raise in salary. That
money belongs to the old folks, and
I intend to see that the old folks
?et it. The pension for the moth-
• >-« and the fathers and the rela-
•ives of the hoys who fought and
fi«d for their country belongs to
•hem and they will get it. I think
■ hev «h,Hild get at least $85 a
month."
The imnortance of water as a
statewide need was stressed, and
O'Daniel has a plan for solving
that major problem, too. "Every
city in the state needs water, for
drir.king, industry, even for that
, Saturday night bath. The farmers
need water for irrigation purposes,
the ranchers need it for their cat-
tle. I have a plan that I will put
to work when 1 am elected. That
plan is for a statewide water con-
servation service the same as the
plan I had for the soil conserva-
tion when I was governor before.
There must be a way to get water
for this great state, and I w-ill
find it somewhere, somehow.
You've got to have the water, I
will see that you have it. It is a
shame how this state is suffering
from lack of water."
Cheers from the crowd greeted
OT)aniel' segregation statements.
"There aren't any officials in Aus-
tin who will stand up and talk back
to the federal government on eg

Last Rites Said
For Mrs. Wilson
The First Christian Church was
filled to capacity Tuesday after-
noon for the funeral service of
Mrs. W. W. Wilson, and a profu-
sion of flowers banked the altar.
Rev. Charles Whitmer, pastor
read from the scriptures and a
favorite poem if Mrs. Wilson's;
and Rev. Amog Myers, former pas-
tor here, read from John 14 for
his text to point out that none
should let their heart be troubled
at the death of a person whi had
led the life of service that Mrs.
Wilson had.
Mrs. Lewis Hood sang "The
Lord's Prayer."
Burial was in the Breckenridge
Cemetery.
Three Subject
Film Shown To
Rotary Club
The "Spotlight on Texas," film
strip, which is sponsored by the
Southwestern Bell Telephone Com
pany on television, was shown for
the Rotary Club program ft noon
Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A.
Andy Anderson, president, pre
sided for the business meeting, and
also served as program chairman
for the day.
"Spotlight On Texas" for the
day was composed of three short
stories about Texas, "Game War-
den," "A Morning With J. Frank
Dobie" and "Henry Hudson, Texas
Fiddler."
The duties and problems if a
Game Warden were shown in the
film, giving an episode of a game
warden tracking and apprehending
a spotlight deer hunter. The duties
of a game warden are ninny and
varied, but primarily they are in-
terested in promoting intelligent
conversation a n d sportsmanlike
conduct on the part of hunters and
fishermen in order to help the state
remain the "hunters paradise."
"A M irning With J. P'rank Do
hie" gave a personal look into his
den where he writes all of his
books. One of the more colorful
of Texas story-tellers, he is in the
process of writing a new bo ik, a-
bout Texas, of course. Together
with his wife, he lives quietly and
enjoys his work. He sang a cow-
boy song "the way a cowboy is
supposed ti sing it. They sang
to quiet the cattle, not scare them
to death," he said.
Texas has always been a fid-
dlers country, and Henry Hudson,
Texas Fiddler" has contributed
much to the music of the country.
A fiddle maker, he pl*ys .ill of the
old time music, and loves for his
friends and neighbors to drop in
and share the mujiic and laughter
with him.
Anderson introduced two guests,
Joe Miller from Level land and Lou-
is Pitcock from Graham.

Local hospitals admitted two pa
I 'ients and dismissed three for the

connecting dead lines to give com
plete circulation.
The city attorney was instructed
to proceed with condemnation pro
ceedings on the building at iioo
North Breckenridge Avenue. It was

Stevenson Wins
Soing Away In
California Vote
By JAMES C. ANDERSON
I nited Press Staff Correspondent
SAN FRANCISCO (UPi— Sen.
Kst.-s Kefauver conceded defeat
today to Adlai Stevenson in Cali-
fornia's winner take-all primary
but refused to quit the race for
the Democratic presidential nom-
intaion.
Kefauver gracefully sent hi3
congratulations to Stevenson before
half of the vote in the crucial pri-
mary had been tabulated but said
later he would fight until the last
convention vote had been counted.
Stevenson's campaign manager?
claimed the overwhelming tri-
umph assured his nomination at
the Chicago convention next Au-
gust and his chief California
. spokesman predicted he will win
in November.
Returns from 18.670 of th"
| state's 24,144 precincts gave Ste-
venson 5HV.H8 and Kefauver 30:-!,-
22!>.
Pockets State's Votes
Stevenson pocketed H8 full con-
vention votes, lifting his national
total to :i~l against a bare 140
for Kefauver.
In scoring his stunning victory.
iStrvnson crossed all lines in Cal-
ifornia's popularity test, the last
I of the year.
He captured six strong Negro
precincts in San Francisco bv
I margins as great as 20 to 1, even
though Kefauver had accused Ste-
venM'ii of talking out of both sides
of his mouth on the segregation
issue.
Stevenson outpolled Kefauver in
the rich inland farm areas where
the homespun senator from Ten-
nessee had carried on a handshak-
ing campaign.
Kven the old folks, whom Ke-
auver accused Stevenson of he-
1 f:
tr.-.ving in Illinois, voted in favor
..f Stevenson.
Favored By Labor
The labor vote also was cap-
tured by Stevenson.
Stevenson's campaign manager
' in California, Arty. Hen. Edmund
(I. Brown, was so elatrd over the
outcome that he went to Kef Ha-
ver's headquarters in Los Angeles
uid suggested that he abandon his
fiyht and jump on the Stevenson
bandwagon.
Bat Kefauver politely rejected
j th,. hid and said he would remain
in the race.
"I still fe< I I have a good chance
! for it," Kefauver said.

B v FREDERICK M. W INSHIP
NEW YORK <r.n —Frank Lloyd
Wright, America's most horioied j
architect, celebrates h i s 87th i
birthday Thursday with the satis-
faction of knowing he'll probably
live to see a creation of his self-
vowed genius rise on P'ifth Ave-
nue.
p'or nearly 40 years New York
resisted Wright's attempts to plant
his unique offices and apartment
buildings amid its architectural
turrpoil of tenements and towers.
But now wreckers are demolishing
i Rennaissanci-styled block-front
on upper P'ifth Avenue to make
•■vay for one of his most revolu-
tionary structures.
The buiiding-to-be is the Solo-
mon R. Guggenheim museum of
art, a #3 million mushroom-domed
cylinder inspired by th" spiraled
perfection of the cambered Nau
tilus. In an interview at his hotel
apartment, Wright described the
museum as his "little temple in a
park," but his admirers refer to it
as a monument to his tenacity.
On Boards 12 Years
The museum was oil the di aw-
ing bawd for 12 years, while
Wright wrangled with conserva-
tive elements in the city's depart-
ment of housing and buildings for
permission to build. One of the
department's officials—"incurably
medieval" Wright termed him- -
once had (he effrontery to refer to
the museum as a "perfectly plan-
ned fire-trap."
Wright, a seemingly-ageless old
man, won by outliving most of
his opposition. He expects to be
around in 1058 when the museum
and its lavishly landscaped set-
ting are completed.
The directors of the Guggen-
heim foundation stood behind
Wright all the way despite the
fact building costs went up 50 per-
cent since modern art collector
Guggenheim left $2 million for the
construction of Wright's brain-
child in 104!). Wright has only
praise for the "intelligence" of the
foundation and scorn for "the
common man who forces builders
to ke^p on building boxes iust as
they did in the dark ages.
