like to see Donnell defeated, but Mr. Truman has said the press of official duties will keep him from campaigning in person. Not being sure whether he can even get to Missouri for the Mr; Truman has obtained an absentee voter's ballot. Hennings has accused Donnell of being an isolationist. He has endorsed the Truman foreign program wholeheartedly, i And he has told the taxpayers they must be prepared to bear a heavy load to keep the nation's defenses, against communism strong.

ANTI-RED FIGHT The two were on opposite sides in the controversy over the McCar-ran bill to register Communists in peacetime and intern subversives in time of-war. Hennings urged the president to veto the bill as "a perverted and monstrous piece of legislation jeop ardizing the rights of all citizens." When the president did act. Donnell was with the majority who voted to override the veto. Sud- porting the bill, he said the people were aroused by the threat of communism at home. In an early campaign speech Donnell took a crack at what he called "gangsterism, boss machine control and crime" in the president's own bailliwick.

CHARGE 'GANGSTERISM He said the Pendergast machine had revived in Kansas City since the gang slaying there last April of Charles Binaggio, Democratic lead er who rode to power in the 1948 elections. in repiy, tiennings' managers pointed to their candidate's record as a prosecutor in St. Louis. He piled up a spectacular list of con victions there, first as assistant and later as circuit attorney. Donnell has been tagged for de feat by organized labor because of his support of the Taft-Hartley law.

Hennings, who favors repeal or the law, has won labor endorse ment. Tomorrow: Ohio.

COMMERCIAL ROW PHONE 2-8678 and 7131 JEFFERSON CITY, Oct. 4. GTV-A couple of hard campaigners are squared off in the general election for United States senator in President Truman's home state. On one side it's Thomas C. Henn-ings, 47, of St.

Louis. He's the man who beat the president's choice for the Democratic nomina tion in the August primary. On the other side it's Senator Forrest C. Donnell, 66, of Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb.

He's the Republican who was elected governor in 1940 and senator in 1944, the only GOP candidate, who successfully bucked the Roosevelt landslides in those years. Both have records of squeaking through the victory in breathlessly close elections. B3AT TRUMAN MAN Last August Hennings beat the president's man, Emery W. Allison, by a bare 4132 votes. Absentee ballots had to be counted before the result was certain.

Io 1865, he led a email band of Bannocks, and in a series of raids and attacks that terrorised all of northern Nevada. He defied ranchers, posses, and even detachments of troops sent out from Fort Churchill and Fort McDcrmitt.

Black Rock Tom rode a magnificent white horse, which became a symbol to many Indians of a defiant gesture against the whites. Certainly the prestige of the whites suffered heavily when Tom wuld keep jut on the outer edge of rifle range, and taunt the Tom's band on the Quinn River Sink at the head 'of the Black Rock DcseVt. They swept down on Tom's band, and killed all except one squaw, five warriors, and Black Rock Tom, who escaped. Pursuit of Black Rock Tom wat now rcleadcta.

no7ro)rn soldiers and posses to try to catch him. His white horse could outrun anything in Nevada at that time, and was believed by the Indians to be a magic animal. Many crimes against white settlers were blamed on Black Rock Tom, possibly some without justification. Any small wagon train, or isolated ranch was fair game for Tom and hit painted warriors who. descended without warning, killing, torturing, burning, strafing, and then vanishing back into the great fastness of the Black Rock But it meant the complete end of Tom's band, and to, with the entire group of men, women, and children exterminated, Black Rock Tom lost heart and gave up.

He led a raid that terrorized Paradise Valley, wounded M. W. Haviland in an exchange of shots. Late in 1865 the pressure on northern Nevada from Tom and his men became too great to bear, and organized steps were taken to capture him. Captain Soo, chief of the Humboldt River Paiutes offered to track Tom down.
