O'Cwyer Denies Any
Bookmaker Dealings
MEXICO CITY. Oct. lfi— UP—
Ambassador William O'Dwyer de-
nied Wednesday he ever dealt with !
bookmakers while running for j
mayor ol New York and refused to
N comment on gambler Harry Gross' I
: testimony he contributed $15,000 to}
| O'Dwyer's campaign fund.
The ex-mayor, storm center of
New York crime investigations, j
: said he was "not familiar" with a j
. charge by Gross thai bookies were 1
| invited to contribute to his cam- j
I Paign.
"I cannot comment on that,"
S O'Dwyer declared.
j But he issued a statement deny- i
ling he met with gamblers before}
j his successful 1949 campaign, and !
comment that horse betting must
I be "properly controlled by appro- j
priate legislation."
Gross told the New York grand j
jury investigating city police cor- j
ruption that he was approached
j before the mayoralty election in j
1949 by James Moran, former right
| hand man of O'Dwyer, and that
j they had a long conference about [
I the possibility of opening a night !
club. The grand jury minutes dis-1
; closed that Moran told Gross he j
; had arranged "a meeting of seven j
| or eight" top bookmakers, includ-1
ing Gross, with O'Dwyer.

Political Upstart
Amazing Navada in
Contest For Senate
RENO. Oct. 16 — UP — Nevada
voters still stare incredulously to-
day at a 31-year-old "political up-
start" who upset the state's strong-
est political machine a month ago
and is now trying to shove George
W. (Molly Malone out of the U. S.
Senate on Nov. 4.
Nevada also has a hot contest
for its single seat in Congress be-
tween Rep. Walter Baring, 41,
seeking his third term on the Dem-
ocratic ticket, and Republican
Cliff Young, a 31-year-old Reno at-
torney seeking his first office. Both
are veterans of World War II.
This contest has followed the na-
tional trend, with Baring stressing
his support of the administration's
more popular programs and Young
making bitter attacks upon Presi-
dent Truman and his administra-
tors, the corruption issue and the
Korean fighting.
But most of the attention is focus-
ed upon Thomas B. Mechling, a
young Washington newsman vir-
tually no one in Nevada had ever
heard of eight months ago.
Tom Mechling, as he calls him-
self, is a likeable young man with
a ready grin who amazed the na-
tion in September by beating for-
mer Attorney General Alan Bible I
for the Democratic Senate nomina->
tion by 475 votes.
Bible, one of the most popular
Democrats in Nevada, held the po-1
tent support of the state organiza-1
tion of Sen. Pat McCarran and his J
nomination had been believed a j
certainty.
Mechling achieved his victory by j
ringing doorbells and talking with
more than 50.000 of Nevada's 91.428 |
registered voters.
Malone won his Senate seat six j
years ago largely because of a bit-1
ter factional fight within Dem- J
oeratic ranks and many observers
believe Mechling's upset primary
triumph is so bitterly resented by |
many McCarran supporters that j
Malone may benefit again in No- j
vember.
McCarran has refused bluntly so j
far to discuss Mechling although j
the latter has been endorsed by the i
regular State Democratic organi/.a-1
tion.
HATTERAS, N.C.. Oct. 15—UP—
Fisherman Edward D. Bennett of!
Norfolk. Va.. said Wednesday he
was reeling in a small tuna he
caught off Cape Ilatteras Tuesday i
when a 480-pound sailfish swallow-!
ed his catch, hook, line and sink-1
er. The sailfish measured seven ;
feet, four inches.
Agriculture Once
Was 'Step-Ctf Id'
Brannon Charges
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 16 —
—UP—Secretary of Agriculture
Charles F. Brannan said Wednes-
day the American economy—like
a good baseball team—has strength
"down the middle."
But he told a teen-age audience
of future farmers of America that
strength in agriculture, mining,
manufacturing and transportation
cannot be preserved "just by ex-
pressing confidence that prosperity
is here to stay.'
"The full employment and pros-
perity we now have did not come
to us automatically. Nor are they
built upon a war economy," Bran-
nan said.
He told the young farmers they
must "work together" to preserve
prosperity, and "know the causes
of depression" so t'„ey can avoid
them "just like a pitcher avoids
giving Mickey Mantle or Duke
Snider a fast ball down middle."
Prior to the 1930's, Brannan said,
agriculture was a "step-child," He
said one of the causes of the de-
pression was that farm income and
farm purchasing power were al-
lowed to fall so low that the whole
nation was "dragged down by the
undertow."
"I don't know—and 1 won't pro-
diet—what specific form future
farm programs will take. But I do
know that whatever kind of a farm
program we have it is going to
take leadership, co-operation and
good citizenship to make it work,"
the farm secretary said.
He told his youthful listeners to
build up their "savings account"
of knowledge, experience and
character so they will be able to
take an active part in agricultural
planning as well as political, do-
mestic and foreign policies.
"Respect for our elders is good,"
he said. "But nowhere in either the
moral law nor in the constitution
of the United States have I ever
been able to find that the right of
free speech does not begin until
40 or 50—or 60."

NEW YORK. Oct. 18—UP—Sen.
Herbert It. O'Connor <D-Md.) said
Wednesday Senate Red probers

forts to flush American Commu-
nists out of the United Nations by
anyone, Including UN Secretary
General Trygve Lie.
In winding up the first series of
