Slow Rains Cheer
Westex Cattlemen
Good rains fell throughout West the Mitchell and Howard County
Central Texas Monday, ranging
from sprinkles in some areas to
as much as three and one-half to
four inches in others.
The moisture came from a cool
front that squelched summer ahead
of its official end at 8:24 Monday.
The rains were slow and steady,
cheering West Texas farmers,
and bringing smiles to cattlemen
who started talking immediately of
bringing cattle back from northern
pastures.
Heaviest rains were reported in
areas. Big Spring got mors than
two inches, and other parts of
Howard County reported downpours
of more than three inches.

Reporter-News Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. -22— Presi-
dent Truman has joined in de-
mands for a full account of the
Church of Christ run-in with the
Italian government it was learned
here today.
Rep. Omar Burleson of Anson
who has been protesting the ae-
tion along with other Texas mem-
bers of Congress said that Pres-
ident Truman has also requested
“the full story” from the State
Department
Meanwhile, the State Department
has been cabling the American
Embassy in Rome to help the
Churches of Christ missionaries,
many of them from Texas, fulfill
all requirements of the law.

Enemy Supply
Lines Blasted
By GEORGE A. MCARTHUR
SEOUL, Korea, Tuesday, Sept
23— Allied warplanes flying
in darkness last night gave the
Communiat supply team its worst
pasting to more than six months.
Fifth Air Force pilots rosred
down on Red transport rolling to-
ward the front lines all across the
waist of Korea and reported they
shot up 160 vehicles.
"There was a continuous stream
of lights on the road below,” said
Lt. Richard F. Kennedy of Seattle,
who destroyed 14 of the Red trucks
near Suan.
The Air Force said It was the
biggest nightly bag since last Feb-
ruary.
In the ground fighting, Allied de-
fenders repulsed 20 small assaults
by Communist forces across the
front in the 24 hour ended at dawn
today.
Gen. Jame A. Van Fleet's
Eighth Army headquarters de-
scribed the assaults ss "harassing
actions,” none serious.
The burst of Communist activity
came as hard - fighting South
Korean infantrymen stormed back
onto a bill in the Punchbowl sector
of Eastern Korea which they had
lost earlier.
Chinese Reds mounted five as-
saults in the Bunker Hill area but
all were driven off after brief
fighting. The longest clash lasted
30 minutes •
The Eighth Army said Commu-
nist casualties for the week ended
Sunday Mt the fourth highest
weekly toll of 1952. It reported
1.858 killed, 1,442 wounded and 32
captured — a total of 3,332.
Colorado City received 3.78 inch-
es of rain, while nearby Westbrook
reported 4 04 inches.
TO HELP DRAIN
Mitchell County Agent Joe Cow-
an said the rain would be of tittle
value to cotton crops, but would aid
the late-planted grain sorghums
"And thousands of acres of small
grains such as rye, vetch, wheat
and oats,” Cowan said, "will cer-
tainly be helped "
He estimated that 50.000 to 60-
000 acres would go into grain crops
in Mitchell County
All creeks and rivers in that
area were running Monday night
Abilenians were cheered Monday
by rainfall that measured from 1.20
inches at Municipal Airport to as
much as 185 Inches In parts of the
city.
Rain fell in all directions from
Abilene, but was lightest to the
south and the north. Ballinger and
Winters to the sough got only
traces of rain.
Haskell got only 41 of an Inch;
Stamford reported .77 of an inch;
and Seymour had a mere .12.
However, Anson got 2.30 inches:
Hamlin 1.10 inches; Hobbs 2.80
inches; Rotan, 1.40; and Roby
1.58.
To the east, Cisco reported 2.50
Inches: Eastland got 1.31 Inches;
Breckenridge, one Inch: end Baird

LAKE GETS WATER
About two feet of water had
been caught Monday night in Lake
Cisco, giving that city about .a
two-months supply Water was still
running into the lake, and light
showers were still falling early
Monday night
Rain began in Eastland about 8
a. m. Monday and fell all day. The
same story was true at Brecken-
ridge.
Fisher County Agent Frank
Crowders said there is much cot-
ton southwest of Roby and Rotan
that is pretty good, and this rain
may make a crop, if frost is late
in coming.
Roy Duckett, city manager at
Sweetwater, said Lake Sweetwater
had caught only two or three inch-
es of water — about a two-day
supply.
Henry B. Cook, Jr., Maryneal
rancher, said he got three Inches
of rain at his place. Farmers who
took a chance last week and plant-
ed small grains were really in
good spirits Monday with the good
alow rains soaking their fields
At Lake Abilene, only a half-
inch was recorded. However, the
creek above the dam was running,
as well as below the dam.

CINCINNATI. Sept 22 • —
Dwight D. Eisenhower and Sen.
Robert A. Taft of Ohio teamed up
here tonight to bring the Republi-
can presidential campaign before
cheering thousands in the first
publie demonstration sealing theta-
party unity.
The GOP presidential nominee-
and the man be beat for the post-
rude side by side in a torch light
parade to receive the applause of
tens of thousands of people. It was
one of the biggest ovations Eisen-
hower has received in Ms cam-
paign.
3,500 JAM HALL
Then, to a jam-packed music hall
seating 3,500 people, Taft declared
Ms belief that “progress is only
possible by the election of Eisen-
hower for president and Nixon for
vice president.”
Eisenhower followed with a
speech to which he charged Adlai
Stevenson’s foreign policy views
show "a faintness of heart” that
he said mirrors an administration
surrender of initiative to the Com-
munists.
Turning a blistering attack on
the Democratic presidential nomi-
nee. Eisenhower declared, "It is
not hard to find men of fine In-
tellect and faint heart, but this is
no time for men of refined and
elaborate indecision.
‘NEED LEADERSHIP*
"Our need — our moot urgent
need — is the leadership of men
whose strength of mind is matched
by their strength of will."
Eisenhower also accused Steven-
son of "smug evasions,” of dealing
lightly with the problem of ending
the Korean War and with making
a “false charge" against him.
Taft received a roaring ovation
at the hall which left no doubt of
his personal popularity la this city,
even though defeated for the nomi-
nation.*
And the applause erupted again
as Eisenhower appeared on the
platform. He said he waa proud to
be introduced by Taft whom he
called "a leader to sound govern-
ment" ,
No member at Congress, Chee
Kent Chandler, a Chicago manu-
facturer who served on the Citizens
for Eisenhower Committee before
the Republican convention, sent
the Democratic candidate for pres-
ident a telegram stating that Ste-
venson had personally promoted a
cash fund, made up contributions ■
from private citizens.
Thia fund. It added, “was paid
to various of your official ap-
pointees to state jobs in order to
supplement the salaries paid them
by the state."
Chandler said Stevenson had ex-
pressed favor of such an assistance
policy to him and other friends
at the Commercial Club April 23.
He called on Stevenson to make
known the names of the contribu-
tors and recipients and the
amounts involved-
In a statement to New York to-
night, Stevenson said he did not
recall any such conversation with
Chandler
'PERSONAL SACRIFICE
He said "there never has been
any secret" about Ma views on
such aid and that the officials en-
tered public service at his urging
and at personal sacrifice to them-
selves.
"The funds used for this purpose
were left over from the 1948 eam-
paign for governor, together with
subsequent general contributions,”
the Stevenson statement said.
Chandler wired his statement to
Stevenson, calling for an explana-
tion.
Stevenson's complete statement
follows:
WIRE NOT RECEIVED
*1 have not received Mr. Chand-
ler’s wire but the text of it has
been supplied me by the Chicago
Tribune. I do not recall the con-
versation with Mr. Chandler in
Chicago, but there has never been
any secret about the fact that I
have tried to reduce the financial
sacrifice of a number of men
whom I induced to leave private
employment to work for the state
of Illinois. These have been men of
my own selection who entered the
public service at my urging and at
personal sacrifice to themselves.
None has been elected public offi-
cials who sought public office.
"The funds used for this pur-
pose were left over from the 1948
campaign for governor, together
with subsequent general contribu-
tions. There is no question of im-
proper influence because there was
no connection between the contri-
butors and the benficiaries.
NO FUND RECEIVED
"I know of no request for funds
from anybody for any purpose dur-
ing my term as governor except
the usual party fund raising ac-
tivities during the 1950 congression-
al and legislative campaigns and
again early thia summer for my
re-election as governor. Money
contributed by employes of the
state or by anyone else for my re-
election as governor was either re-
turned to them or turned over to
the campaign fund of my successor
candidate for governor after I ae-
cepted the nomination for presi-

Shortly after his special train
left Louisville, Ky. en route for
Cincinnati, Eisenhower came to the
press car and issued this state-
ment
' CALLS NIXON
"You know the other day I told
you that if I had any communica-
tion with Sen. Nixon I would tell
you. I decided to come up this aft-
ernoon and I will put this on the
record. Last night sbout midnight
our time, 1 called Sen. Nixon. He
informed me that be waa studying
the plan for presenting his full
esse to the public end wss consid-
ering the best way of doing it,
specifically by television and radio.
“I told him I thought be should
do so and that he should present
everything that should be consid-
ered by the most meticulous per-
son even ss s collateral piece of
information, to get the full works
on the record instantly. I com-
mended him for the decision to
get it out as fast as he could. Of
course, it is apparently a lot of de-
tolls and takes s good time.
‘FEELING PRETTY GOOD*
•I thought I wss going to give
you some news this afternoon. I
wss feeling pretty good sbout It
and now they tell me It Is to the
papers in Louisville that he to do-
ing it.”
"There to one other part of it. It
to merely coincidence, of course
that I am going to be in Cincinnati
this evening, but there to nothing on
my agenda for the discussion of
this esse now until after the in-
formation is in. Any discussions
that I indulge in in this esse will
be the casual sort of thing that
comes because it is on everybody’s
mind and there is no thought of
having any kind of a leaders
meeting or staff meeting of any-
thing else to discuss this thing un-
til the dope is in.
"That part is on the record.
Now, we will go off the record.”
It was Eisenhower’s viewpoint
that Nixon is s grown man, a
United States senator, who should
know what he is doing and to the
only man who knows what happen-
ed Therefore, it was the general’s
opinion that he ought not to "nag"
his vice presidential running mate
about the matter since both have
been busy campaigning.
LOE ANGELES. Sept. 22 Un -
Young Sen. Richard Nixon of Call-
fornia, fighting for Ma polltie al life
over an $18,000 expense fund, flew
here today to plead his case before
American voters.
The OOP candidate for vice
president received a cheering wel-
come by several hundred people
at Los Angeles International
P°Mxon dramatically broke off Ms
Western campaign tour at Port-
land. Ore—temporarily, he said-
to tell a nation-wide radio-televi-
sion audience tomorrow night of
Ms political and personal finances.
Nixon, grimly determined, waa
hopeful that he would convince the
voters—and Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
bower as well—that there waa no
wrong-doing in connection with Ms
stormy political fund.
Nixon, la an extraordinary action
said be would give a complete ae-
counting of Me personal and politi-
cal finances la his broadcast over
the NBC television and the CBS
and MBS radio networks between
6:30 and 7 p.m.. Pacific Daylight
Time (8:30 to 9 p.m., EST) to-
morrow. . ...
The 27-man party, including
newsmen, left Portland at 11:30
a.m., PCT, with Nixon’s aides say-
ing that the vice presidential nom-
Inee still had received no definite
word on his status with Gen. El-
senhower. The presidential candi-
date has been described as per-
turbed over the $18,000 fund dis-
closure to the potat where he was
considering asking his 39-year-old
running mate to drop off the ticket
A highly partisan crowd was on
hand to greet the senator when be
arrived at 2:35 p.m. in his char-
tered DCS There was no heckling.
Almost an of the throng wore Ike
and Nixon buttons. Many held
placards, some saying "Nixon will
fight end win " Among dignitaries
on hand was Rep. Donald L Jack-
son (R-Calif), member of the
House Un-American Activities
Committee. Jackson told a re-
porter:
"I believe I know Dick Nixon as
well as any man. I know him to be
a thoroughly honest, sincere fol-
low. The existence of such a sup-
piemental fund such as Nixon’s is
not at all unusual."
Before Nixon left the plane. Iris
press aide told reporters that the
senator was going to seclude him-
self in the Ambassador Hotel. The
aide, Jim Bassett, said Nixon has
been under terrific pressure and
he must have complete seclusion
for this, the most important speech
of his life.”
As Nixon left the plane, the
crowd started a deafening chant of
“We want Nixon, we want Nixon.
Nixon pushed his way through the
crowd of photographers and report-
ers and climbed on the hood of a
car, pulling his wife, Pat, behind
him.
Smilingly, he told the cheering
crowd, “Pat and I just want you
to know that it’s wonderful to get
back and get this welcome from
our friends."
