gram for agriculture than that
of the Democratic party.
An attempt to prevent his
candidacy on the Democratic
ticket was made at the state

candidates for state offices, and

Bowl Grid Game
NEW ORLEANS, La. —(UP)
—Patrolman F. J. Aragan report-
ed Thursday that he was watch-
ing the Tennessee-Boston College
football game in the Sugar Bowl
when two men, obviously vic-
tims of too much New Year’s
cheer, asked him to help them
find their seats.
Aragon said he looked at their
tickets and discovered they
were for the Rose Bowl game
between Stanford and Nebras-
ka at Pasadena, Cal.
“I told you we were on the
wrong train,” one of the celebra-
tors said triumphantly to the
other.
The patrolman let them watch

John Ray Stitzel!, 22, whose
body was found beside the rail-
road tracks as Bessemer, Ala.,
Thursday, visited in Roscoe with
relatives three weeks ago, it was
learned Thursday.
The youth, an orphan, had at
one time made his home with
an aunt, Mrs. Waldo Huggins, of
Roscoe. He also has an uncle at
Port.
His body was in the charred
embers of a fire made by a
railroad repair crew, according
to Alabama investigators. Iden-
tification at that time from a
social security card listed his ad-
dress as Roscoe.
Police sought Thursday to de-
termine the cause of his death.
