The resolution branded the story as “indecent” and represented “the basest type-of journalism” and was “beneath the dignity of a reput able newspaper.” A copy of the resolution, writ ten by a committee composed of Benny O. Slaughter, J. A. McLeod and Oliver O. Manning, was re ceived by The Daily Record yes terday afternoon. The story concerned a suit filed for alimony by Mrs. Lula Stride BULLETINS SEATTLE, (IP)—Three persons w£re killed yesterday in the crash of a light plane on the south slope of Mt Baltiy in the Cascade Mountains.

Adlai Stevenson’s aides mapped a campaign itinerary for the pres idential nominee which could take him into the deep South. Although the South appeared ready to give up an idea of bolt ing and go solidly for the Demo cratic ticket, Stevenson’s aides be lieved the Illinois governor still should do a little political wooing among the Southerners. Their main concern among the Southern states wgs Texas, Eisenhower’s native sta,te, which normally runs up a sizeable Republican vote. Iu a sidelight to the presidential race, Sen. Kenneth D. McKellar, 83-year-old dean of the Senate, went down to defeat in his bid for an unprecedented seventh term in the Senate. Victor in tiie Tennessee Democratic senatorial primary was 44-year-old Rep.

Stevenson, with the conservative South firmly in hand, strengthen ed his hold on the Northern liberal faction of the party. Averell Harriman, who was de feated in a- down-the-line fair deal bid for the presidential nomina tion, emerged from a meeting with Stevenson to say that he believed, harmony “very definitely” had been restored to the party.
