Va., Mr. Truman said that Eisenhower, Republican presiden tial candidate, had “helped vigor ously” to carry out the administra tion’s foreign policy. But Eisenhower, Mr. Truman said, now is being shown “how to be a hypocrite in a few easy lessons” by “some masterminds at hand in the Republican councils." HITS AT DULLES Mr. Truman said one of thdse masterminds had helped in formu lating the administration’s foreign policy. He appeared to be referring to John Foster Dulles.

Iltristqari Democratic nom- j ttieV for today in the effort to build an even greater tourist industry | in the state. The former senator told nearly 500 persons attending the official dedication of a new road and sus pension bridge on Grandfather Countaln that the tourist trade is the state’s second-largest "cash crop.” * “We should make every effort to encourage and Increase the num ber of tourists to every section of our state where our recreational and scenic attractions are unsur passed,” he said. Umstead paid tribute to Hugh Morton of Wilmington for "his energy and vision in developing and promoting Grandfather Mountain,” and urged other Tar Heels to fol low the example. CITES ASSETS The state can list as definite assets, he said, the most extensive outdoor drama circuit in Ameri ica, the largest state-administer ed highway system in the nation which makes vacation areas acces sible, and the fact that there are four distinct seasons. He urged a more aggressive cam paign to advertise the state’s at tractions. but cautioned that reas onable food and lodging prices and “friendly treatment” sire essential to keep the industry booming. There is evidence, he said that the tourist traffic since World War II has increased faster than traffic as a whole in the state. The in dustry’s gross yield in 1951 was I estimated at $239,000,000. Umstead said. School At Coats Opens Tomorrow R. L. Smith, principal of the Coats school, has announced that everything is in readiness for the opening of school there tomorrow.

I State school officials predicted the largest first grade class in state history—about 10,000 more than last year's first grade total.

He asked the South to help clean out a "top-to-bottom mess” created by men “too small for their jobs ; too big for their breeches and too ! long in power.” WANTS “WHOLESOME CLEAN-OUT" The only cure, he said, is “a wholesome clean-out of the politi- I cal bosses in Washington.” Eisenhower flew here for his speech in downtown Hurt Park, and 1 was to make othe- addresses to i day in Jacksonville and Miami. ! Tomorrow he eoes to Tampa. Birm ingham. and Little Rock. I RECALLS SOUTHERN SERVICE i The retired five-star general re- I called his Southern service at Fort Benning, Ga.. and Fort Sam Hous ton. Tex., and spid he number* “by the hundreds my • friends in the South.” However, it seems that some of I the opposition spokesmen look up i on this meeting as a revolution,” i Eisenhower said. “For them, this is a revolution. Through generations they have been counting the votes of the South ahead of time along with the cemetery tombstones and the vacant lots that they carry in the election rolls in some of the cities thev run up North. “For me and for you. however, it is the most natural thing in the world that an American, nomtn (ated for high political office, should ijjranjt to talk oyer,the problem# oß_.

TOP-TO-BOTTOM MESS “This Washington mess is not a one-seency mess or a one-bureau mess nr a one-department mess.” he said. “It is a top-to-bottom l me«s.” “It was t+ewed by scheming nolitfcians whose idea of public ser ! vice is service to their own purses ■ or their own nnwer . . .
