■ They're Paying Off
Those Election Bets
By UNITED PRESS
Adlai Stevenson wasn’t the only I
man who lost Tuesday. Those a
mong his partisans who made
i , election bets were still being tor
•f tured by gleeful Eisenhower root
ers.
When the election returns rolled
in, some persons had to do a little
hard thinking about their big talk
ing.
An Alabama lady had to swal
low the front page of a pro-
Eisenhower newspaper, and at
least one man was getting ready
to sample some crow.
AH across the country Steven-
I*. son backers paid off gcofy election
W bets they had made in optimistic
moments.
Martin Huff Jr., Democratic
Central Committee secretary of
Alameda County, Calif., stood still
and manfully let Mrs. Anne Holi
day smack sis pies into his face.
The Jubilant office receptionist
baked the pies herself.

Percentage wise, Suttles stated,
the Dunn Market has lo*t less than
any other market in this section, in!
spite of the short crop and other j
difficulties with which the tobacco i
farmers have been forced to cope. I
The average has remained con-1
sistentiy good and steady during j
the season, Suttles commented, and I
the majority of the leaf sold was j
sold for a price well above the grad- i
er’s figures.
This is the first year that the I
Dunn Marki ; has operated with j
a full set of buyers, and this fact j
was important factor in the success j
of this season.
“The farmers have found out
that their leaf will sell for as good
a price on the Dunn Market as;
they ce.:t obtain anywhere,” the

Bodyguard Says Ike
Just Too Friendly
CHICAGO IIP) Dwight D.
Eisenhower had only one fault in
the eyes of the Chicago policemen j
assigned to guard him during the |
campaign: The president - elect j
drove him almost crazy wandering,
off into the living sea of persons!
surrounding him.
“He is just too friendly.” said
Lou Swee, who took a leave of
absence from the Chicago police ;
squad to tour with the Republican
leader.
Sw ee said Eisenhower often i
strayed away to talk to members
of his audiences.
“If someone stuck his hand out,
Eisenhower would seize it for a
handshake without looking to see
whether there was something in it.
“Perhaps our biggest problem
was to keep him from being
crushed or hurt by the people,”
he said.
Swee was just another of the
hundreds- of polidemen assigned
to the Republican national conven
tion until Eisenhower took a shine
to him and got him on loan from
the police department.
