Richmond, Va. —I*— Nineteen
of Richmond’s Democrats for El-
senhower were invited to the White
House. The Richmond News Lead-
er gives this report of a part of
the conversation with the Presi-
dent
Coleman Wortham Jr., invited
the President to Virginia to see
‘the best duck hunting marsh in
the United States."
“Do I have to go through Rich-
mond?” the President asked. On
one visit, he recoiled he was hust-
led past some dignitaries he was
supposed to greet. Then of course
the speaker’s platform collapsed
with him on his 11152 campaign
HONESTY TEST
Beaumont, Te*. —cB— Ran-
dolph Owens thinks his hometown
folks are more honest than aver-
age,
He's lost his wallet four times,
twice in Beaumont and twice
in other cities Both times i n
Beaumont his wallet, with money
and papers intact, was returned
“Mr President, excuse, me” one
member of the Party cut in, “but
the Republicans built that platform
They wouldn't let tU near it. De-
mocratic platforms don't collapse.”
PROGRAM PRESENTED BY
MUSIC STUDENTS
Elsewhere he got- his wallet and
papers back, but the money was
gone.
Fourth and fifth grade music pu-
pils presented a program in the
auditorium of the Elementary
School last Friday afternoon un
