DOWN THE LINE As the only Democratic presi dential contender who has gone down the line for Mr. Truman’s foreign and domestic policies, Har- i riman has high hopes of winning a presidential blessing for his can- | didacy at, if not before, the Demo cratic convention in Chicago next month. Mr. Truman has so far remained carefully neutral in the free-for al! party fight to choose his success or. But he has hinted strongly that he will put in his oar before the convention gets around to actual balloting on a nominee. The United Press tabulation of delegate standings, based on pledg es and known first-ballot commit ments, showed Harriman today just whiere he was a month ago—with 9514 delegates, nearly all of them from his home state of New York.

Mass Meeting Draws Small Group Sunday By JOHN FOLLETT Record Staff Writer Before an audience of less than 50 people who had responded to his call for a mass meeting on the Oliver O. Manning case, Benny O. Slaughter made an impas sioned plea for political justice in Dunn. Commissioner LL Coats was the only member of the council who at tended and he took no part in the discussion (ycept to state that final action on the case has not yet been taken. “Refusal to think for ourselves is more dangerous to our country than Russian aggression,” declared Slaughter. He offered no specific suggestions as to action to be taken by the citizens of Dunn, but con tented himself with laying before them the facts as he saw them. “STAY EXECUTION” Turning to Coats, who occupied the platform at the invitation of the speaker, Slaughter said, “I want to send this plea to the board by you: that If you can not bring yourselves to reverse your former BULLETINS LONDON (IP) A former Polish countess and beau ty queen who a wartime British intelligence agent m the Polish* French and Italian underground, was stab bed to death in her London hotel last night.

Ridgway arrived in Rome today under an un precedented guard of 50,000 troops and police who had orders to crush mercilessly any Communist demonstra tions. The angry Reds charged that the government put Rome in a “state of seige.” The new Allied supreme com mander landed at Ciampine air port, accompanied by his wife, after a flight from Paris. Heavily armed carabineri, the crack federal troops, guarded the entire airport and lined the run way on which Ridgway’s plane landed. The entire 12-mile route to Rome also was lined with troops and police. Cavalrymen on white horses pa trolled the fields flanking the road. Precautions were further tightened after police seized five men as they i tried to plant 20 pounds of dyna mite under a bridge on the north ern outskirts last night. Two men identified as Communists were ar rested. The other escaped. There had been no similar mass ing of security forces since 1958 when the Communists threatened a revolution because of an attempt to assassinate Red leader Palmiro Togliatti.

County organizations are being tightened and no punches are pulled by either side. Your reporter spent Thursday and Friday in the district, visiting every county and talking with sev eral people in each. He found some unusual factors for a run-off pri mal y. In the May 31 primary Carlyle led wth a vote of 22,981, compared with Tally’s 21,893 and the third man vote of 1,888 which went to Ernest Mayhan of Wilmington;. That gave Carlyle a plurality over Tally of 1,088, but means he lack ed only 401 of getting a clear ma jority over both opponents, as suming the same number of votes. Tally Accused Os Taking Advantage LUMBERTON "The challenge by Joe Tally, to debate campaign Issues with Representative Ertel Carlyle, comes with singular ill grace at a time when the Congress- I man is a patient in a Washington ! hospital”, Carlyle’s secretary. Law- : ••ence Redmond, said. today. “Mr. Tally cannot claim ignor ance that the Congressman is a hospital patient,” Redmond said. “For several days, discreditable ru mors have been spread throughout the district giving false reasorff Big Crowd Expected For Sing At Bensot mm The North Carolina State Sing- , ing Convention will open in Ben- | son.

The Record Gets Results Rome Stated another way, the total dis trict vote was 46,762, half of which would be 23,381. That Is 400 votes more than Carlyle received, 488 more than Tally got. If Carlyle had gotten 401 more of the samt .ute, or Tally had gotten 489 more, the result would have been determined. That is an unusually close vote, and Tally felt it justified another try.
