Estes Ke fauver’s bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Reaction to the lanky Tennes sean’s formal announcement of his candidacy drew caustic comment from some and a meaningful sil ence from others. None showed any inclination to grab the tail of Ke -1 fauver’s coonskln cap, his political trademark, for a ride to the con vention hall this year. “SOUTHERN SCALAWAG" | Roy Harris, long-time kingmaker : of Georgia politics, blasted the crime-busting solon as “a traitor and Southern scalawag,” the term used for Southerners who collabor • ited with Northerners following, the 1 Civil War. • “Too New Dealish," commented T. 1 J. Tubb, acting chairman of Miss • j issippi's Democratic Executive Com • [ mittee. “He’s too much' of a left ( winger for me.” Mississippi’s Gov. Hugh White, wheelhorse in the states' rights movement and a leader in the walkout at the 1948 Democratic na tional convention, would not com ment. But White asserted in his inaug ural address Tuesday that Mississ ippi Democrats “will not be bound” to any platform or candidate who does not recognize the "principles of states' rights." Gov. Fuller Warren of Florida, heretofore not considered a states’ rights advocate, called Kefauver “a power-hungry political opportunist.” WORSB THAN SHERMAN “If Kefauver were elected Presi « dent,” Vfrren said. ”hb would dam- age the South more jfegn Oenerol HoweAf, Warren's opposition is •hought to stem more from the Ten . nessean’s activities as bead of the Senate Crime Investigating Oom mittee than from any disagreement I over political principles. Georgia's Gov. Herman Talmadge, who has been steadily drumming up support in recent months for a possible presidential bid by Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga.) said, simply: “Kefauver is out of luck here.” In Alabama, where states’ rights and loyalist Democrats are battling for control of the state's party machinery, one group was leaning toward the candidacy of Gen.

Sheriff Don Cox of Sacramento County said Gomez could remem -1 ber accurately the kind of clothing 1 worn by his victims and the cir cumstances surrounding each of the slayings. “There isn't a doubt in my mind he’s telling the troth—we've got him cold," Cox said. “He’s got a memory like an elephant.” Gomez, who has a jail record dating back IS years, was .picked mej louncL. >,..VAiiinnnf 1 streets.

Chairman Smith said the com mittee hopes to find a location which would be readily accessible to citizens of Dunn, Erwin, Coats and Benson and that an effort is be ing made to find a site centrally : located between those towns. He said it is proving to be quite a dif ficult task, however.
