Adlai Accuses Ike
Os "Selling Out"
CINCINNATI, (IP) Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson today ac
cused Dwight D. Eisenhower of “selling out to Republi
can isolationists” in return for their active support in the
presidential campaign.
Lashing out at his rival in the •
strongest language he has so far!
used, the Democratic candidate
bluntly charged there was a “price”
i for such support and Eisenhower
' “bwvs to their demands.”
IN TAFT’S HOME TOWN
Stevenson made the charge in a
speech in Cincinnati, -the home
town of Sen. Robert A. Taft, who
frequently is described as the lead
er of the conservative, isolationist
wing of the Republican party.
The Democratic nominee said
there was a “real danger” that the
new isolationists could lead the
country into a “national tragedy.”

Thousands In Benson For Mule Day
Third Southern
Governor To
Back Eisenhower
AUSTIN, Tex. OP) Gov.
Allan Shivers of Texas to
day promised to vote for
Dwight D. Eisenhower and
thus joined two other south
ern governors in open revolt
against the candidacy of
Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois.
Shivers Joined Govs. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina and Ro
bert F. Kennon of Louisiana in sup
port of the Republican presidential
nominee.
TRUMAN WITH ACCENT
“I fear that Stevensonism will
be Trumanism with a Harvard ac
cent,” Shivers declared in a state
wide radio talk Thursday night. He
paid $2,000 himself for broadcast
time.
Shivers broke with Stevenson,
Democratic* presidential nominee,
because the Illinois governor fav
ored federal ownership of the off
shore, oil-bearing tidelands.
But Shivers • had not indicated
whether he would vote for Eisen
hower till his speech Thursday
night, when he made the blunt
announcement, “I will vote for
Texas-born Dwight D. Eisenhower
for president of the United States."
CAMPAIGNING FOR IKE
Last month the Democratic state
convention at Amarillo asked all
state officials to vote and cam
paign for Eisenhower. Shivers told
the convention it was morally and
legally obligated to place Steven
son’s name on the ballot as the
Democatlc candidate, which it
did, but he urged the delegates to
vote for Eisenhower in November.
Many state officials have follow

Campaigned for Eisenhower. The

provisions and both owners and
drivers are under the supervision
of the Dunn Police department.
Bach owner and driver Is to be fur
nished with a copy of the ordinance
as soon as it can be mimeograph
ed and required to sign for the
copy.
The section that came in for
the most discussion was that re
voking the driver’s permit should
he be found with any liquor or
narcotics in his cab or on his per
son.
SUBJECT TO INSPECTION
To implement this provision sec
tion fourteen was revised to read,
“The Chief of Police may inspect
or cause to be inspected any taxi

is cause to believe an inspection
would reveal the taxicab was not
being kept in a sanitary condition
or was being used for purposes
other than intended by the Taxi

Preacher Roe passed Billy Mar

pitcher.
Then, in the first of the third,
Jackie Robinson sent out a high
fly that allowed time for Carl
Furillo to come home from third
and tie the score.
