Eisenhower's Illness
Adds To Hall's Woes
By JAMES MARLOW
Associated Press News Analyst
WASHINGTON (B-The roof fell
in on Leonard W. Hall when Presi-
dent Eisenhower suffered a heart
attack. Before that, there was a
rosy glow in the sky. Now he can't
see what lies ahead.
As chairman of the Republican
National Committee, it's Hall's job
v to lay the foundations for a Repub-
* lican victory in 1956.
His counterpart Paul M. Butler,
chairman of the Democratic Na-
tional Committee, has the same
kind of job for the opposition, it's

Big Battlewagon
Hangs On Reef
NEW YORK Wl—The huge bat-
tleship Wisconsin was stranded 011
a reef in New York harbor for
-^nearly an hour yesterday. A strong
tide pushed her aground while she
was being towed to the Brooklyn
Navy Yard.
A fleet of 16 tugs pulled the
45,000-ton vessel off the mud hank
at the mouth of the F.ast River,
some 500 feet off the tip of Man-
hattan.
The Navy said the ship, which
is 885 feet long, apparently suf-
fered no harm. A spokesman said
the Wisconsin was under control of
*a civilian pilot and being towed by
civilian tugs when tiie grounding
occurred.
The ship, her own engines idle,
was being towed from Bayonne.
N.J., to Brooklyn for a general
overhaul.
It was the Wisconsin's second
grounding in New York harbor.
On Aug. 23, 1951, she went aground
on mud flats in the Hudson River.
a backbreaking job for both men
any time. But Hall's looked easier
than Butler's—before the President
fell ill Sept. 24.
The Democrats have no sure-
shot candidate for their party's
nomination in their convention
next summer, even though at the
moment A d 1 a i Stevenson may
seem to hold an edge.
And before the convention is
over the scramble among Demo-
crats may bust the party wide
open.
But Hall, a lifelong politician
who at 55 is genial and almost
bald, saw nothing like that in store
for his party. On the contrary,
in early September, he was in a
spot Butler and any other profes-
sional politician must have envied.
To hear him talk, there were
no storms ahead on his political
lake. He was confident Eisenhower
would run again. If Eisenhower
did, with his immense popularity,
he seemed a year ahead of time
to have much better than a 50-50
chance of winning.
And if Eisenhower won. he
might again, as in 1952, pull the
whole party with him and give
the Republicans control of Con-
gress once more. The whole Re-
publican party felt the way Hall
did.
Then on Sept. 24 the President
was stricken. Now Hall merely,
and not too confidently, speaks
about the possibility that Eisen-
hower may run.
If he had to bet privately, I'd
guess he'd bet Eisenhower won't
run. So Hall, an ex-judge and
seven times a congressman, faces
a tough year, just as tough as
Butler's.
This month, as if accepting the
idea Eisenhower wouldn't run, Hall
was saying the party would win
by taking "Ike's philosophy, per-
sonality and the record of his ad-
ministration."
But trying to win on Eisen-
hower's record may not be enough,
since the voters will have to make
their own judgment 011 the Repub-
lican candidate, whoever he is.
And who he may be is something
Mall doesn't know now.

burial.

j ambassador to the United States,
j He had lived in this country most
of the time since 1933, serving as

Discuss New Station
At Lion's Club Meet

Major John Phillips, command-
ing officer of the new Sweetwater
Air Force Base, and Chief Warrant J
Officer Edwin T. Robinson, opera- j
tions officer, were guest speakers
at the Tuesday luncheon of the J
Sweetwater Lions Club, held at the j
Blue Bonnet Hotel.
Phillips, in outlining the basic !
purpose of the Aircraft Control |
and Warning station, now under
construction at the Sweetwater
Municipal Airport, said the proced-
ure comes in four phases, spotting,
identification, interception and de-
struction.
"Our personnel is highly educa-
ted. has a tine esprit de corps
and a great devotion to duty," Phil- I
lips declared.
They must have a dedication to j
their profession, and are rightly
called the "Guardian Angelos of
Democracy." he stated.
He and his men hope to become
good citizens of the community, he
said, and outlined some of the
problems faced by service person-
nel, such as housing shortages,
transfers and school changes for
children.
He listed the change of command,
starting with President Eisenhow-
er as the commander-in-chief,
through the Secretary of Defensfc,
Secretary of the Air Force, Chief
of Staff. Commander Air Defense
Command. Commander Central
Air Defense Force. Commander
33rd Air Division and finally Com-
mander of the 683rd Aircraft Con-
trol and Warning Station.
The local radar station is one of
a network of similar stations lo-
cated throughout the United States
at strategic areas to form a radar
network for spotting and identifi-
cation of aircraft.
Peacetime uses include the pro-
vision of tools of navigation, aid to
aircraft in distress, navigational
assistance and weather informa-
tion. Phillips said.
Robinson, director of operations
and training, gave an explanation
of the workings of a radar sta-
tion, and how planes arc spotted,
tracked and reported by the var-
ious radar stations.

Looking for a substitute for lurid
comic books and improper televis-
ion programs?
The County-City Library now
provides everything for young read
ers but a way to gel there, and if
parents will co-operate to that ex-
tent, Miss Marie Ilaney, librarian,
is convinced that the younger gen-
eration will grow up with a love
for good books.
In the library's new location at
124 Oak, there is a separate sec-
tion for young people, with special
I furniture, magazines, and refer-
ence books as well as books set
J aside for their exclusive use. The
| furnishings include benches and
i slanted tables so that they can
i prop up their books and read with
good posture.
Realizing iiow important it
I for young people to be exposed to
j the best in literature, Miss Haney
exercises special care in choosing
books, and gifts which do not mea-
sure up to standard library stand-
j ards are refused. She makes every
I effort, too, to assist young readers
in selecting their books to suit
s (heir individual needs, reading lev-
j el, and interests.
Approximately 1,500 young peo-
i pic under 14 are now using the li-
brary, with new cards being issued
daily. This number will be much
j larger, Miss Haney believes, when
I more teachers become acquainted
with the library's resources and
I encourage their pupils to visit it
j regularly in connection with their
school work.
Last summer marked the begin-
ning of the "Reading for Fun
I Club" program, which encouraged
j the younger set to devote part of
I the summer holidays to books. Pu
i pils in the third through the sixth
| grades were enrolled on a volun-
j tary basis, with the library keep-
■ ing track of the books each read.
The Texas Theater provided a
j free movie for the members en-
rolled at the end of the summer.
In November Miss Haney hopes
to start a Story Hour for children
of pre-school age. Several women
have volunteered to assist her in
making it a weekly program with
the idea that children who "meet
the library" before they ever start
to school will keep using it all their
lives.
Parents who get tired of reading
the same bedtime stories will be
happy to know that the library al-
ready has a good-sized collection
of books for pre-school-age child-
ren. Checked out two at a time
on an adult's card, they provide a
pleasant relief from monotony for
both parents and children.
For older readers the library's
collection includes all the Newber-
ry Award books from 1922 until the
present time and books of biogra-
j phy and history in such outstand-
ing series as the Landmark, Child-
hood of Famous Americans. First
Book Series, and illustrated editions
of the classics.

MIAMI, Fla. (/PI—Law enforce-

then ended his life with a bullet
in the brain at a busy intersection
yesterday, according to Sgt. Flcyd
Alsbury of the sheriff's office.
Peace Justice Hugh Duval or-
dered an autopsy on both bodies
but he said it "was obviously a
case of murder and suicide."
Alsbury said Bryson went AWOL
from his Army unit in Germany
two years ago and took Sylvia,
who had married an ordnance

a wild ride through the Black
Forest in a stolen jeep.
He was caught, court-martialed
and dismissed from the service,
but brought Sylvia to Miami and
lived with her until about a month
ago. Alsbury said.
Bryson left a note, addressed to
police, in which he said he was
ending "what was once a beautifui
romance."
"I'm not sorry for what I'm
going to do." he wrote. "There's
just no other way out."
Sylvia was still married (o the
