Stevenson and the Republican’no
minee, Dwight D. Eisenhower, are
‘‘highly intelligent, honorable men”
and that “both are qualified by
native ability, training and exper
; ience to deal with our immense
i national problems.”
TO LOWEST POINT- ,
But it said the Democratic party
“has dragged respect for govern
ment to its lowest point in our
history.”
In his youth Stevenson served as
managing editor of the Pantagraph.
The Democratic presidential nom
inee, however, does not now exercise
any editorial control at the tiews
paper. He owns one-fourth of the
stock and his sister owns nearly
a fourth.
The editorial said of Stevenson
that, “on the basis of hfs fine ad
ministrative record in Illinois we
wish we could endorse him, with
out reservation, for the presidency
of the United States.”
CITES HANDICAP
“But Adlai Stevenson has one
great handicap.” the newspaper
said. “He is the candidate of a
party which has been in control of
our national rfouernment for 20
vears—a party which, under Harrv
Truman, has set all-time records
for spending, scandal and Ineffi
ciency and has dragged respect for
government to its lowest point In
our. history ”
The editorial listed several
“changes we believe the people
want.”
“Can Adlai Stevenson and the
Democratic party bring about these
changes or can they only come
about by a change of party this
fall?
“That will be the big question
mark in ,the minds of thoughtful
voters' as the candidates spell out
their programs and nolicies In the
course of. the coming campaign,”
the editorial concluded.
The, newspaper said it favored
“the change from the concept that,
government exists for special
groups l such as the political act
ion committee of the CIO .”

Truman Urged
Not To Gall
Congress Back
WASHINGTON, (IP)—Pres
ident/ Truman was under
heawy pressure from his own
party today to forget about
calling Congress back to
strengthen price controls
at least until after the Nov
ember elections.
Sen. John J. Sparkman, the Dem
ocratic . vice presidential nominee,
publicly declared hhis opposition to
the special session which Mr. Tru
man said last week heh is consider- j
ing.
As several influential Democratic
senators had said preijAsly,
I Sparkman warned that ’iwatUing
1 the lawmakers “in the middle of a
i campaign” would produce a lot of
I politicallhair-pulling but not anti
! inflation leg: iation.
ADLAI MAY INTERVENE
j Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Demo
! cratic presidential nominee, will
| have a chance to put in his oar
I on the subject when he attends a
I White House luncheon with Mr.
! Truman and the cabinet tomorrow.
He has not so far displayed any
enthusiasm for the special session
idea, which originated with Price 1
Stabilizer Ellis Arnall.
Economic .Stabilizer Roger I.
Putnam toW a national radio aaijr
television audience last night tHM >
if the, (general price rise continues
for another month at the same rate
food prices have increased, “I
think it will be necessary to call
in Congress to tighten up gontrofa.”
On the other hand, Putnam said,
if the public \ull dooperate J it may
be possible" iff neme#*
trols ■before many months.”
ARNALL TO QUIT
Arnall said food prices, which
rose a record 1 1-2 per cent last
month, are threatening to “get out
of hand.” He blamed the “weak”
price control law passed by Con
gress just before it adjourned, and
the drought which has parched
crops in Southern states.
Associates said Arnall does not
intend to sit much longer on the
hot-seat price Job, regardless of
what Mr. Truman does about a
special session. They said the for
mer Georgia governor already has
submitted his resignation, effective
Sept. 1.
Arnall apparently, expected Mr.
Truman to announce the resigna
tion last week, but the President
held off. Informed sources believed
he hopes to line up a successor be
fore making anv announcement.

THE NEWS CAME HOME Cleadous Naylor. 3 7-year-old Dunn truck driver, had a close call early '
| Saturday afternoon when he tore up his 1947 Plymouth almost at the door of The Daily Record office
on the Fayetteville highway. Naylor, a fireman, s aid he was enroute to answer a fire alarm when
other car cut across the highway in front of hi m. Apparently driving at a terrific speed, Naylor
cut across the highway, struck a telephone pole and then ran across the street, struck a heavy iron
pole and knocked it down and turned over. The pole, on which hung a Daily Record sign, was almost
cut in two and was dug up by the impact of the car despite the fact it was weighted down with
about 200 or 300 pounds of concrete. Naylor, who h ad another close call months ago, escaped with
minor injuries. No charges were preferred. This p icture was made just before Lee’s Truck Terminal
wrecker removed the demolished vehicle. (Daily R *cord photo by J. W. Temple, Jr.)
Erwin Mills To End Contract
HI
Erwin Mills, Inc., notified
Jjhe Textile Workers Union
oj America, CIO yesterday
that thfr -cofitract between
them would be ended on its
expiration date, October 11,
1952.
Formality of notification was
made under the terms of the con
tract signed in 1950 in which both
parties had agreed that cancella
tion by the Company or the Union
would be made sixty days before
the termination date. The decis
ion affects Erwin employees in
Durham, Erwin and Cooleemee, N.
C.
Mr. Carl R. Harris, Vice-Pres
ident, said that the move was
made because the contest between
the United Textile Workers, AFL
and the Textile Workers Union of
America, CIO has created such a
state of confusion that no other
course was open.
CHECK-OFF DUES SITUATION
As an instance, he cited the state
of employees’ Union dues. Last May
when the controversy between the
Unions began, some employees ask
ed the comnany to not pav to the
CIO the does checked off from
their pay. The dues have been
held In escrow ever since. Mean
while, check-off dues of employees
who did not withdraw are being
oaid to the CIO according to the
terms of the contract.
The demands of emdoyees in fa
vor of one Union or the other have
put the Comnany in an embarrass
ing position. Mr. Harris stated that
it is Company policy to take no
sides in union disputes. The onlv
way to clear the situation is to ehd
the contract with CTO and allow
Erwin employees to decide whether
