Daniel Opens Senate
Campaign Thursday
WACO, Tex., May 30 (IP —Texas
Attorney General Price Daniel op-
ened hi campaign for the U. S.
e frhi
Senate ^Thursday night, telling a
crowd of 2,000 that the nation must
get back to God and put its govern-
ment back in the hands of the peo-
ple.
Daniel, who announced for the
Senate last January, formally
launched his campaign with an
address on the McLennan county
courthouse lawn. He used the oc-
casion to give President Truman
a “hiding” for veto of the bill
which would have turned the tide-
lands back to the states.
The action, Daniel said, “demon-
strated that he 'Mr. Truman I does
now know what this tidelands con-
troversy is ail about.
"The seizure of the tidelands will
go down in history as the blackest
page in this era of centralization
and lack of morality,” he said.
The country has two “grave
needs,” Daniel said. One is for the
“restoration of the moral climate
of decency, integrity and honor in
the halls of our government.”
The other, he said, is “to get
our country back to God and our
government back to the people.”
If elected to the Senate post
which Tom Connally will vacate to
retire, Daniel said he will “put
moral and spiritual values first in
government.”
Daniel is opposed by Congress-
man Lindley Beckworth of Glade-
water.

Cost of Mi'itary
Equipment Painted
On Each Vehicle
In support of the Defense De-
partment's “Cost Consciousness”
program, all vehicles and major
equipment of the U. S. Army and
U. S. Air Force Southwestern Re-
cruiting District now bear a painted
sign showing the cost, Sgt. Roy
H. Dollar, commander of the local
recruiting station revealed today.
Prominently displayed, the sign
reads as follows: “This vehicle (or
equipment name) cost Uncle Sam
'$1500i. Take care of ifl” Sgt. Dol-
lar said.
Defense officials have for many
years studied the problem of con-
versing expensive equipment. The
reclamation of World War II wea-
pons. planes, and other material
saved taxpayers millions of dol-
lars in Korea. Thousands of Jeeps,
guns and aircraft engines stored
in depots throughout the world are
once again being used to equip
newly formed military units.
Also, every member of the arm-
ed forces is being indoctrinated
with the need to conserve every-
thing he uses, including paper
clips and stationery. The theory is
that if he knows the cost of in-
dividual items of equipment lie can
better appreciate the importance
of their proper care. And as a
taxpayer himself, the American
Sighting man has a definite in-
terest in saving the government
money.

UNIQUE ROBBERY
RICHMOND. Calif., May 30 (IP)
—When tavern owner Fred Barotti
answered his doorbell Thursday,
a man presented him with a bou-
quet of flowers "from the church”
and a $25 savings bond which he
said Barotti had won in a contest.
Barotti invited the man inside
the house. The stranger then pulled
out a gun and relieved Barotti and
his wife of $5,400 in cash and jewel-
ry.

Perfect Weather
Lures Millions
To Open Roods
By UNITED PRESS
Nearly perfect weather lured
millions of Americans to the open
road this Memorial Day and high-
ways were packed in places with
monumental Iraffic jams.
The toil of dead In holiday acci-
dents began climbing.
■ With I he long weekend barely
started, 22 persons had lost their
lives in highway crashes. Seven
others died by drowning—four of
them In Oklahoma—and two died
In miscellaneous accidents.
The Nationsl Safety Council ex-
pected 310 persons will die in traf-
fic in the period from 6 p.m. Thurs-
day to midnight Sunday.
Last year’s one-day holiday re-
sulted in 128 accidental deaths, in-
cluding 334 on highways.
Sunny skies prevailed over most
of the nation except for a 300-mile-
wide band of rainfall and showers
along the Atlantic Seaboard and
another narrow rain area stretch-
ing intermittently from New Mexi-
co northeasterly to Michigan.
Many Americans stopped first at
cemeteries to pay respects to de-
parted loved ones before taking
off for picnic grounds, beaches,
and fishing streams.
At Elrod, S. C., townspeople
gathered at a grave located be-
side the railroad tracks.
The grave is that of a small boy,
his name unknown, who '«ved ev-
ery day to train crews in l() 1880s.
The boy died and his parents mov-
ed away. But every Memorial Day
for 60 years, railroadmen and oth-
er citizens have said prayers at
his grave.
Sports attracted others. Almost
all baseball leagues had full sched-
ules of doubleheaders on tap and
the forecast of good weather in-
sured a big turnout for the 500-
mile automobile race at Indianap-
olis.
