E. R. King is in a quandry—with more water to supply
and circus tickets to sell, E. R. King, superintendent of the
Dunn-Erwin water department, and president of the Erwin

water supply and purification problem of some 15,000
Erwin and Dunn citizens on his mind, but has added a

TELEPHONES: 3117 ■ 3118 - 3119 DUNN, N. C., WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 24, 1952
She’s a girl known as “Congo
Alice,” largest performing elephant
in America. Alice will arrive in
Erwin Sunday.
It all started when Mr. King,
whose PTA organization is trying
to raise money for the Erwin school
band uniforms, hit on the idea of
bringing a circus to town.
PTA TO BENEFIT
King has youngsters of his own
and believes it to be the inalien
able right of eyery child to see
a circus in the old home town
at least once in a while. So Erwin
is to have a circus of its own and
the PTA will receive a substantial
percentage on an advance ticket
sale which is being conducted by
its members this week. In fact, the
more tickets they sell, the more
they make. Beers-Barnes Circus
has been contracted for a one-night
performance appearance in Erwin
on Monday and they will exhibit on
the Erwin school practice field.
The show presents forty trained
animals and approximately two
dozen entertainers under a circus
BIG TOP said to accommodate up
wards of fifteen hundred persons.
The organization, which is trans
ported in nineteen vehicles, will
arrive in Erwin Sunday afternoon
enroute to i|s winter quarters
home at Miami, Fla., from a tour
of Canadian cities. The show on
Monday will commence at 8 p. m.
Doors to the Big Top open at 7
p. m.
Included in the show’s program
is trained seals, horses, ponies,
dogs, monkeys and a bicycle-rid
ing chimpanzee who also enter
tains circus patror(s with fancy
roller skating and wirewalking.

the show is the famous Lois troupe,

Labor Dispute
Returned To
Harnett Court
The hearing on the nom
nlaint against the officio's of
the UTW-AFL and the Work
ers Supolv Store, by the of
ficials of the TWUA-CIO, set
for yesterdav afternoon be- :
fore Judge Henry L. Stevens j
in Smithfield, was returned j
to Harnett County.
Judge Stevens told the oppos
ing factions that he would be un- I
able to complete the hearing that
afternoon because lie was planning j
to attend a wedding. He offered to .
start the hearing, however.
He suggested October 2, as a j
date for the hearing if it was post
poned. but William H. Abernathy,
attorney for the CIO objected, be
cause this date would be after the
critical election in the Erwin Mills.
Bob Cahoon, representing the
AFL group, asked his opponent if
his reason for wanting the case
tried earlier was not for the add
ed publicity value, and Abernathy
admitted that it was.
Judge Stevens said that in his
opinion, the case should be heard
in Harnett County anyway, and it
was returned here. J. Thomas West,
Manager of the AFL local, said this
morning that he was planning to
ask for the hearing before Judge
Susie Sharp in Lillington next
week.
"We are perfectly willing to have
the case disposed of before the
the election.” West declared. “As
far as the records are concerned,
the CIO has all the records any
way and their other charges are
simply a smoke screen to cloud the
real issues. I doubt if they will be
able to extract anything damaging
to our group as a result of the
hearing.”

SAMPSON FAIR WINNER The exhibit shewn here, entered by the Mingo Home Demonstration
Club took the top award in the 1952 Sampson County Agricultural and Livestock Fair at Clinton this
week. The exhibit highlighted a unique use for the print feed bags in their use as curtains, slip covers
pillow edging drapes and similar home decorative projects, in addition to the usual use in a print
dress draped on the model at the right. The ingenuity of the group in converting the feed bags to these
uses earned them the top prize in this department. (Daily Record photo by T. M. Stewart).
Stevenson Won't Tell
Names Os His Donors
BALTIMORE, Md„ (IF—
Gpv. Adlai E. Stevenson flat
ly rejected today Sen. Rich
ard M. Nixon’s demand that
he disclose the names of Il
linois state officials whose
salaries he augmented with
cash gifts.
But at the same time Stevenson
defended the practice as one nec
essary to obtain and hold the ser
vices of men of ‘ outstanding abil
ity” in government.
Nixon, in explaining to the nation
his own acceptance of an $18,235
expense allowance last night, chal
lenged the Democratic nominee to
make public the names of Illinois
officials whose salaries have been
augmented, a step Stevenson had
admitted.
The Democratic presidential
nominee told a meeting of volun
teer campaign workers that he saw
“no purpose in disclosing the
names of the persons or the
amounts” involved.
“BREACH OF FAITH”
To do so, he said, would give
them “undeserved publicity” and
would be a ‘breach of faith on my
part.”
Stevenson explained also that he,
while governor, had “adopted a
practice of making gifts around
Christmas time to a small number
of state employes” whom ne re
garded as underpaid.
These men. he said, had been re
cruited from private industry
where, in most cases, they enjoyed
higher salaries and more secure
future than in government service.
The money for the “gifts” Ste
venson said, came from campaign
funds and from contributions made
“from time to time.”
He said that no donor to the,
fund knew “the identity of those to
whom” gifts were made. He said
that no official receiving a “gift”
knew the identity of other officials
obtaining the same benefit. The
amounts paid individuals were not
disclosed, he said.
The practice, Stevenson said, had
resulted in obtaining the services
of a group of men whose “integrity
and loyalty” were the equal of any
in government.

meeting with Sen. Richard M. Nixon which will determine

ticket.
The Republican presidential nom
inee and his running mate may,
meet in Wheeling, W. Va. tonight.
Eisenhower’s first stop of the
day was in Chillicothe, 0.. where
he noted the fact that President

“merely given the people a

This was a reference to the fact

HITS HIGH TAXES

against high taxes and inflation.
In addition to the high taxes, he
said there is “sheer dishonesty in
government.”

promptu speech from “my heart"
to a mitv-eved audience in which
he viewed Nixon as the kind of

beside him, rather than a “whole
boxcar full of pussyfooters.”
Eisenhower had gone to the hall
to read an address which he had
prepared in his campaign against
inflation. Instead he talked without
text about Nixon.
He, Mrs. Eisenhower and close
advisers had listened, in a small
room neer the hall, to the 39-year
old senator’s 30-minute explanation
of his financial worth over radio
and television networks.
During Nixon's talk. Eisenhower
took notes on wht his running
mate had to say about what he
did with the controversial SIB,OOO

California suoporters.

Judy Asserts She's
Stupid About Reds
WASHINGTON, (IP)—Judy Holliday, moviedom’s fam
ous “dumb blonde”, has told Senate investigators she was
“more than slightly stupid” about Communist-front or- j
ganizations, it was disclosed todav. jjwj
In a secret hearing last March,
the actress said she was so upset
about finding herself called a
“Red” in newspapers she hired
investigators to investigate herself
because “I wanted to know what
I had done.”
Burl Ives, folk song singer, also
was quizzed by the Senate internal
security subcommittee In its in
quiry into possible Communist in
fluence on the entertainment indus
try. Both he and Miss Holliday
denied any Intentional Red affili
ations.
For Judy, it was a command
performance of the “dumb blonde"
role that won her the Academy
Award In the movie “Bom Yes
terday.” but this time she played
it in dead earnest.
DID IT UNWITTINGLY
She admitted she had unwittingly
contributed to some subversive or
ganizations that seemed to be
aiding “hard-luck" causes.
“When I was solicited I always
simply said, ‘Oh, isn't that too
bad. Sure, use my name,” she told
