in-the-box, won the Democratic
nomination for Rep. Roger Slauh-

Axtell, a former feed salesman
lifted from obscurity by the pat
on the back Mr. Truman gave
him three weeks ago when the
President demanded that Slaught-
er be purged, grabbed an early
lead in tabulation of yesterday’s
primary ballots, and was never
overtaken.

Slaughter went to bed without j
making any statement.
The Congressman, a member of
the powerful house rules commit-

end of the district but his margin
there was far below what he need-
ed to wipe out the vote piled up
by the Pendergast workers in their
strongholds.
The President in calling for his
defeat asserted that if Slaughter
had been right in his stand on
then he, the President, was wrong.

The issue was Slaughter’s oppo-

Axtell had the backing of the
resurgent Pendergast machine,
headed now by James Pendergast,
nephew of the late T. J. Pender-
gast who lifted President Truman
from obscurity, and the CIO-PAC.
The vote in the district was un-
usually heavy, but the strength
Slaughter expected from a heavy
vote failed to materialize. He had
depended on the “silk stocking
district” vote at the South end
of the Polyglot district to overcome
Axtell’s machine ward lead.
, Slaughter had predicted that-he
would receive 5,000 votes from Re-
publicans seeking to embarrass Mr.
Truman in the Democratic purge.
Reports throughout the voting day
indicated he probably did get a

On August 1st 287 residents of
Ellis County were receiving $46,-
270.08 a year in Old-Age and Sur-
vivors Insurance monthly benefits,
says Ernest L. Tutt, Manager of
the Social Security Administration.
Survivors insurance was being paid
to 166 members of the families of
workers who haVe died, including
114 young children, 38 young wid-
ows, and 14 widows and dependent
parents age 65 or over; and retire-
ment insurance was going to 121
persons of whom 92 are retired
workers and 29 are wives and young
children of retired wage earners.
An additional 107 persons had been
paid $12,100.63 in lump-sums.
When a worker dies, some mem-
ber of the family ought to contact
the Social Security Administration
to learn if some one is entitled to
survivors insurance. And all work-
ers on reaching age 65 should come
in to check-up on their retirement
insurance.
A representative of the Social
Security Administration will be at
the Waxahachie Post Office Aug-

Office in Ennis on August 20 at
