e +! WEATHER* NORTH CAROLINA —' l Mostly fair, and not much change in tem peratures today, tonight and Wednesday. VOLUME II Russell Leads . Kefauver In First Returns MIAMI (IP) —Sen. Richard B. Russdll (D-Ga.) led Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) in the first two precinct report ing their vote in Florida’s election of Democratic con- v’ention delegates todav. Bri the pattern of the votes indi cated that the Georgian’s hid was running into a technical difficulty that could mean danger and per hans defeat. Tyndall Hammock precinct in Brevard County arid Brown’s Farm in Halm Beach County went heavily in favor of Russell, just as they did i ntlie May 0 popularity contest which Russell won throughout the - stale by an 82,000-vote margin. * However, the returns showed that the candidates endorsed by Russell received far fewer votes than the candidates running as pledged to Russell but lacking his official en dorsement. KEFAUVER RUNS POORLY To the race for delegate seats from the state-at-large for men, the two prccincjs gave Russell endorsed candidates 30 votes, Rus sell "outlaw” candidates 45 votes, Kefauver nine and one vote for an ■fi unpledged candidate. For women delegates-at-large, Russell - endorsed candidates re ceived 27 votes, Russell “outlaws” 45. and Ketauver 8. The two precincts reported these first fragmentary tabulations as some 650,000 Floridians began streaming to polling booths through out the state. These voters would determine whether Russell, the favorite, can cash in on his victory; over Kefauver in the popularity <•( contest.

He was arrested by . Corporal Rommie Williamson of the High way Patrol, who testified that he was the only occupant of the car, and that he was at the wheel when he made the arrest. Barbour claimed a companion, who was driving, got out and ran away, but he did not know the man's name. Unimpressed by this defense, Judge H. Paul Strickland meted out the usual 90 days, suspended 12 months on payment of SIOO and costs, with revocation recommen ded. In another case involving drunken driving Patrolman W. L. Marr charged William Llggin, Jr„ Negro soldier with being the driver of a car that sideswiped three poles. He t stopped Liggin’s car, and testified that the soldier was in toxicated. The side of the car was badly damaged in the collision and 0 Policeman K. M. Fail, who drove the car back to Dunn said the side still had splinters from the poles in the damaged steel.

Panty Raid Flops At Campbell Olive Forces Assert Hell Carry HarnefT Key workers and supporters of Gubernatorial Candi date Hubert E. Olive gathered here last night from every section of the county to map final strategy for the cam paign in Harnett. Fred Byerly, prominent Dunn in surance man and spokesman for the group, reported this morning after the meeting that, ‘‘We are extremely well pleased with the progress of Judge Olive’s campaign and we feel confident that Harnett will join the rest of the state in giving him a tremendous^majority. Many prominent business, civic and professional leaders from prac tically every community in the county were present for the meet ing. “As everybody knows, when the | campaign opened Mr. Umstead was j way out in front in Harnett,” poin- j ted out Mr. Byerly this morning, l “and for that reason we are par- j ticularly well pleased to be able j to report that Judge Olive now ap pears ahead in every single pre cinct in the county.” Biggest Vote May Not Win For Olive By LYNN NISBE’f Record Correspondent RALEIGH, lf most prognosti cations come true Hubert Olive will receive next Saturday more votes than any candidate has ever received for Governor in a Demo cratic primary In North Carolina, with possible exception of Clyde R. Hoey in 1936. But that' record-breaking vote will not be sufficient to give him the nomination, because majority opinion is that William Umstead McLamb and Rev. J. L. Lentz. Surviving are his wife: Lola Ellen Hargrove Tart; two sons,’ Kirby and Waylond, both of the home; his father, J. W. Tart and stepmother, Mrs.,J.

Tart, Ben- JJailtj Jlttarfr Before last night’s meeting, a canvass and survey was made in : j every township and "except for one or two weak spots, everything is in fine shape for Judge Olive,” de | clared Byerly. [ | CITES ENTHUSIASM j “The thing that has impressed us,” he said, “is the enthusiasm of the rank-and-file citizen for Judge ! Olive and the splendid manner in I which they are volunteering their | services. There are no paid workers j in our group. All of us are just I men and women interested in good | government and in electing the j best man for governor. ,: ‘‘lt is now increasingly apparent,” | he added, “that North Carolina is j going to give Judge Olive a big | majority on Saturday, and we cer tainly want Harnett to go along ! with the rest of the State.” will' get substantially more votes than Olive and set an all-dime high in gubernatorial primacy voting. The foregoing statements are based on predictions of a total vote approximating 600,000. A morT.h ago most estimates of the 1932 primary vote ranged be tween 425,000 and 475,000, with some ns low as 400,000. Since the State convention last Thursday and follo wing reports of unprecedently heavy registration throughout the state, the range has been lifted to between 525,000 and 800,000 with some optimistic forecasts in ex cess of the 618,000 cast in the sena torail primary two years ago.

C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 27, 1952 An incipient panty raid at Camp bell College last nignt failed to materialize, when a group of male students, who had made a gesture in tljfe direction of staging a raid , on the girls’ dormitory thought bgpv ’tfr'of the idea. The idea of the raid was touch ed off by a power failure, during which the lights on the campus were off for about half an hour. The power went off when an auto mobile ran into a guy wire sup porting a pole. The wires came to gether and the short circuit threw out the protective circuit breaker on a portion of the Carolina Pow er and Light Company’s lines. STOPPED QUICKLY The lines were quickly cleared, | but in the meantime a group of boys had determined to make the ! raid. College officials, however, an ticipating such action, were around the grounds and, under their vig ilant eyes, no such attempt was made. “A pantry raid would be so un original,” Dean A. R. Burkot re marked today, “I think our boys are intelligent enough to originate something on their own, without imitating the actions of other col leges.” BULLETINS NEW YORK !IM McKesson and Robbins, Inc., one of the nation’s largest drug wholesalers, was charged with il;>egal price fixing today in a complaint filed by the gov ernment in federal court. DES MOINES, la. (IP) Johnny Bright, all-American Negro halfback, admitted after graduation from Drake University yesterday that he was the father of an ille gitimate nine-months-old boy. (Continued on pace two) Dunn Girl Receives Honors At Queens Miss Jacqueline 'Johnson, popu-1 lar Dunn girl, has recently receiv ed two outstanding honors at Queens College in Charlotte, where she is a member of the sopho more class. A few weeks ago, Miss Johnson was elected president of the Pan Hellenic Student Council, which is the highest honor a student can attain at the college. Miss Johnson served as chair- 1 man of the committees in charge ; of decorations for all of the soc- | iai events held in connection with the installation of Dr. C. C. Jer- : nigan as president of the college. I She directed more than 40 girls in this project. OUTSTANDING RECORD The Dunn girl has made an out- , standing record throughout her! high school and college career. At •the Dunn High School, she gradu ated with exceptionally high honors and was chosen for the DAR Good (Continued on Page Two)' Truman Whistle Stop Campaign Rolling Along Washington ill*' Presi dent Truman’s ‘whistle stop’ campaign rolled right along today—right here in Wash ington. True. I lie train smoke is missing. Bui Mr. Truman's siiphourous speeches are increasingly plentiful iis lie ranges from the While House rose garden to various banquet halls about the city, giving his en emies particular hell. For a man who says he is not running for anything, the Presi dent is demonstrating several times a w'eek how to attack political op ponents. Yesterday morning, he said “there is no such thing as corruption in the government, and belabored the private power “monopoly” for “de libfirately and in cold blood setting out to poison the minds of the people.” HITS ECONOMY BLOC Last night, his target was the economy bloc in the House. He said representatives who voted the big cut in mutual security funds last week were “endangering the lives of American boys.” He also said the “foolish, reck less” house-approved $46,000,000,000 limit on defense expenditures ‘may require us—in this hour of peril— to demobilize a substantial part of our armed forces.” These tactics, the President told his evening audience, were typical of “some people who would rather . . . embarrass the White House than checkmate the Kremlin.” Although strongly worded, Mr. Trumans speeches yesterday to the Electric Consumers Confer ence and a banquel given by. the Jewish National Fund of America ♦ are typical of the burning torical pace he has been following recently. 16 TALKS THIS MONTH * This month alone, Mr. Truman has made 16 talks, and in most of them he 1 is had something poor to say about his opposition. His most frequent targets have bej ' elements in Congress seeking ! cut his spending program sd stantially. The President says fepeatedly he said it twice yesterday that he is “going to go out” on a “whistle stop" campaign. Pending an extensive trip, however, he is hard at work within the city lim its. IN BAD TOO OFTEN MEMPHIS, Tenn. (IP) Police have arrested Gordon Whitsitt 257 times by his own count. The 53- year-old Whitsitt, in city court for the second t’ime in two days, fig ured up his string of arrests and asked the judge for leniency. He drew the maximum fine. ’ SilL, m draal.... JUDGE OSCAR EFIRD Efird Predicts Win In First * Primary Judge Oscar O. Efird of Winston-Saitem, candidate for the State Supreme Court, today took full credit for the fact that there are now five candidates for the State’s highest tribunal and recalled that he was the first man ' ever dareo challenge a Supreme Coqrt Justice in a F r«*ry. “I guess I might be called sort of a trail-blazer,” laughed Judge Ef ird. “I broke the ice two years ago and now it seems there is no shortage of candidates.” “But," he added, “it seems to me that the man who broke the horse ought to be given an oppor tunity to ride him." Judge Efird. who has served as lawyer, teacher and judge, has a distinguished record in each of these fields. And, although it might be be neath the dignity of a judge to ad mit it, he’s a first-rate politician. POLLED BIG VOTE When he ran for the State Su preme Court in 1950 again6t As sociate Justice Denny, he polled a total of more than 180,000 votes, which was over 33,000 votes more than nominated Governor Brough ton in 1940, and just 4,188 votes less than nominated Governor Cherry in 1944. “And I’m happy to tell you,” said Judge Efird this morning, “that I’ve never seen anything like the en thusiasm being demonstrated in my behalf all over the State. I predict without reservation that I’ll get the nomination in the first pri mary.” Judge Efird was particularly hap py to be in Harnett and dropped by for a visit with two his for mer students at the University of North Carolina, State Senator J. Robert (Bob) Young and Judge Mack M. Jernigan. Judge Efird is proud of his many former students and the records they have made for themselves. TAUGHT SEVERAL STUDENTS Among those he taught were: Judge Leo Carr of Burlington. Judge Henry Stevens of Warsaw, Congressman Graham Barden, and Congressman F. Ertel Carlyle of this district. “But, please,” he insisted, “I’m not getting involved in this con gressional race.” Wherever he goes, Judge Efird is greeted 1 by old friends and form er students. “Even if I should fail to get elec ted—and I have no doubt but what I will win—Fm havin a wonderful time calling on all my old friends and making new ones all over the State.” i Judge Efird left Harnett this af ternoon for a tour of Cumberland, Sampson and Duplin counties. Mr. Efird who is 50 years of age graduated from Roanoke College with an A. B. degree, and did grad uate work in history and economics at Princeton University Where he received a MA., degree in 1913. He studied law at the University of N ° rt Z»r vard FIVE CENTS PER COPY Ridgway Takes New Command PARIS —IIP— Gen, Matthew B. Ridgway arrived today to assume command of the Allied armies of Western Europe, and said at once that a Russian attack is possible. Ridgway, the first United States general to land in France with the liberation armies of World War 11, came back' to assume the command which Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower is giving up. At a press conference he was asked if there is a chance of a Soviet attack on Western Europe. iContinued On Page two) Operetta Scheduled For Thursday Night Miss Evelyn Gainey, a member : of the Dunn Little Theater and i who recently appeared in their recent production “Claudia” was in Goldsboro on Sunday evening, May 25 to review the forthcoming musical to be given in the Dunn LeavingWasMistake GeechStephensSays “I reckon I made a bad mistake ; by runnin’ away,” admitted Charlie ! (Geech) Stephens, in his cell in! Dunn City Jail this morning. He, had just been returned from New j York City, whence he fled immed- | lately after the shot-gun slaying | of Carl McNeill. , Stephens told Dunn officers that he saw the lights of their car when they came to his house after him on the night of the slaying. “I burned up that cotton patch getting away,” he said. He maintains that the slain Ne gro youth had a pistol in his hand and that the shotgun slaying was in self-defense. However, he fears that the witnesses who could have testified in his defense have scat tered and will not be found now. QMJ9 m ” The Record Gets Results Troops Will Be Combined Under Ridgway PARIS IIP Six Western European nations including Germany today signed a treaty unprecedented in peace time to merge their armies into one to defend democracy against Commun ist aggression. Under the treaty the troops of Western Germany, France, Italy 'Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg will combine to serve under Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway as Allied supreme commander, along with separate American, British and Canadian armies, As the treaty was signed at the French Foreign Office, the United States and Great Britain pledged themselves in a special declaration to defend the six nations, and the Allied - held sectors of Berlin, against attack "from any quarter.” REDS DEMONSTRATE In Berlin, the Russian and East German Communists, enraged at the signing of the army treaty the peace pact with Germany int Bonn, started cutting telephone and! telegraph communications to the outside world. They also barred Allied military patrols from the main highway to the West. Fearing this might be the first move toward a new blockade of Berlin. Secretary of State Dean Acheson, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman set an emergency meeting here tomorrow to discuss the situation. The signing of the six-nation army treaty, establishing a historic "European Defense Community,” was carried out in the famous dock room of the Quai D’Ocsay, „ the French Foreign Office. It still be j&tified the various parliaments’will**oy the ts. S. Senate. Along with the treaty, .14 other documents —two of them secref were signed by various members of the North Atlantic Organization. Taken along with the German peace treaty signed in Bonn yester day, the new agreements will ef fect a vast merger of democratic forces, one never before attempted in world history except in actual wartime, to meet any Russian attack on Western Europe. * SAYS ATTACK POSSIBLE Ridgway, arriving here to take over the supreme command from Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower, said at once that he believes such an attack possible. Acheson said at the signing cere mony that today’s action is one of the most important and most far-reaching events of our liie time.” "I believe we are standing on the threshold of a new Europe and a new world,” Acheson said. The six-nation pact, he said, is a means to the end of "an ancient dream the unity of free peoples of Western Europe.” High School Auditorium this coming Thursday evening. May 29 at 8 o’clock.
