Sparkman said tonight the Republican Party is trying to stampede the American people with scare talk about "creeping Socialism." The Democratic vice-presidential nominee declared government has moved into such fields as public housing, social security and rent control because "private enterprise has been asleep at the switch." In a speech before the Women's Business and Professional Club of New York, the Alabama senator said: "I myself have been trying for some time to work out a plan with business leaders which would gradually retire the gov ite sat expressionless when JudgeJ Arthur Tinns annnimco v.s DENVER, Sept. 29 (JP) The International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers KIND) announced Monday it has granted strike sanction to all union locals in the Kennecott Copper Co.

In the home at the time of the blast were Vernon Bloomfield, his wife and four children.

The explosion was touched off when Bloomfield struck a match to light a wall heater. The gas had leaked into the home after a construction crew working in the street hooked a gas line and tore it loose under the house. Gary Bloomfield, 15, was hurled from the living room into an adjoining room by the blast, but escaped injury. (Jack M. Bagby photo) 1-x w.iv.u fcricib lie had agreed to throw out the yenire.

Defense attorneys had filed the motion this morning to quash it. They argued that names had been drawn en masse from the jury wheel instead of individually as required by law and that names of veniremen had not been typed individually as each was drawn. Judge Tipps -took the motion under consideration during the coon recess. When court reconvened after noon, the prosecuting attorney, William Clayton, district attor ney from El Paso, asked the judge Ex-Albuquerquean Manages Tourist Hotel in Mexico I went down the line, disposed of I an eight-course dinner, and de-icided that he liked his Mexican 'family.

"And yet, just before election time we hear anguished cries of 'Socialism' when public housing is mentioned." Sparkman Invaded New York on his first speaking tour in this area since he was nominated as Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson's running mate on the Democratic ticket.

The veep candidate said he will follow Stevenson's lead in baring his income tax returns for the last 10 years. "If I can gather the material, I will do it this weekend," Sparkman added.

A t-stop for Albuquerqueans following the Pan-American Highway Into Mexico is the Hotel Casa Grande at Valles, San Luis Potosi. This is not an advertisement, though it is a good hotel; it is a desirable stop because an Albuquerque boy is running it. When you drive into the wide breezy zaguan' a man takes over car and baggage, speaking English. In the cool tiled lobby an English-speaking clerk makes you wel come. Electric fans stir the hot air; this is true tropics.

The men wear white, usually the guaya-bera, a neat Norfolk-like jacket that requires no shirt and looks both cool and well-tailored. The quiet soft-spoken man who comes over when he hears the word "Albuquerque" is the big boss. Tom Osuna misses nothing that goes on in the hotel. But he never seems hurried; always has time to. greet a friend.

Graduate of UNM Tom Osuna, son of Dr. and Mrs. Eligio Osuna of Albuquerque, was graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1932 with some idea pf going into the diplomatic service. Because his parents had come from Monterrey in Mexico he had excellent Spanish and it sounded like a good career. So in that summer of 1932 he entered the University of Mexico to study such appropriate subjects as international law and foreign relations.

He also went to visit his Mexican relatives. Being faced with a small family gathering of 32 people dashed his enthusiasm a bit, but he stiffened his spine, owned lands near a small railroad town between Tampico and San Luis Potosi. It had occurred to the general that a tourist hotel might do well there; an English-speaking nephew who understood the queer quirks of the Yankee-Gringo character would be an asset as manager. So it was done. Tom Osuna did not abandon diplomacy; he merely transferred from the routine diplomatic procedures of government to the more exacting diplomatic career of a hotel manager dealing in two languages with people of very different requirements.

A sound knowledge of two languages seems quite an accomplishment to most of us, but when Tom Was congratulated on his bi-lingualism he smiled wryly. "They were OK as far as they went. But what I needed here was Huasteca, Aztec, or Mejicano. You see, all the help we could get were the neighboring Indians and few of them spoke Spanish. So the housekeeper and I learned enough of their words to try to explain to them the difference between a sheet, and a towel; the uses of forks and napkins; and to instil some idea of cleanliness, promptness, and dependability." Hotel Runs Smoothly That' he succeeded is evidenced by the smooth operation of Hotel Casa Grande.

Some of the original staff are still on hand, speaking not only Spanish but English adequate for handling -order's for at the request of the Kennecott Council, representing union members employed by the firm in Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Union officials here said a strike call, if one is issued, would come from council headquarters at Salt Lake City. Union workers for Kennecott voted in favor of a strike by an "overwhelming majority," officials said, in a referendum in August. The union reached agreements in August and September with Phelps Dodge, Anaconda and American Smelting and Refining. The increases boosted pay scales to these figures; underground miners, $14.56 minimum and $15.60 maximum daily; surface workers, $11.92 and $12.76 daily.

The union said Kennecott has offered increases of 2 cents per hour in Utah and 3 7-8 cents in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. Swine Judge Lauds Showmanship A fine tribute to the showman ship of New Mexco's junior farmers was given Monday by F. I. Dahlberg, judge at the swine show here. He's professor of animal husbandry at Texas College and superintendent of the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show.

"I have never been to a show yet where the boys have shown their hogs so well, he said, and added a note of praise to their teachers. "Usually, the barrows are under my ieet. 1 can judge them it they are not out where I can see them." The boys hete are busy in the show ring every minute, slapping and shoving their barrows to place them a fair distance away from the judge. Incidentally, this show is the occasion or a reunion between Professor Dahlberg and L. C.

Dal-ton, state supervisor of vocational education. "Hap" Dalton studied under Dahlberg at Texas Tech back in the 20s and hadn't seen him Eddie Cantor Collapses After Television Show HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 29 (JP) Eddie Cantor collapsed in his home last night after completing his season's first television show.

This has, been accomplished since the hotel opened in 1937 when it was the first tourist hotel between the border and Mexico City.

Now it has a string of rivals along the highway to say nothing of other towns that bid for overnight tourists. Most tourists only overnight. The Hotel Casa Grande is not overly eager to hold them longer though if you insist Tom will organize a hunt on the river for mallard, teal, and occasionally geese; or into the hills for deer, turkey, dove, quail, or purple pigeon. Not many Albuquerqueans stay over to hunt, but Tom can without thinking rattle off the names of many who have come and sometimes come again. Across the years he has entertained Mrs.

James Fulton Zimmerman and her daughters, Dr. and Mrs. John D. Clark, Dr. and Mrs.

Frank Hibben, Dr. and Mrs. Gillette Cornish, Sen. and Mrs. Dennis Chavez, the Will Kelehers and their sturdy lot of sons, Bob Pettit, Mrs.

Ella LaBar, Delfin and Abel Salazar, Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Cam'pa, Mr. and Mrs. Juan Vigil, Dr.

and Mrs, Joaquin Lopez Gar-duno. How many more there have been Tom does not recall. Tom Osuna is now a Mexican citizen as is his wife and his new dainty pink baby daughter. But he remains a loyal Albuquerquean who crosses the border now and then to visit his mother, his brother, Judge Ben Osuna, and his sisters. His fellow Rotarians in Valles tease him about his gringo ac cent and his Yankee push, but Tom maintains both his loyalties with smiling ease and makes for his Albuquerque visitors a pleasant bridge between his two countries; The grizzzly bear, Alaskan brown bear and the Kodiak bear cannot climb trees.

SANFORIZED FRONTS COWBOY Wo I to sustain the motion. There was no argument. Sits Quietly District Attorney Alan Haley of Wichita Falls asked for the Oct. 13 date and the 300-man venire. Mrs.

Parsons came to court today in a white sweater and blue skirt and sat quietly between her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burtner Fleeger of Tulsa: Fleeger is a wealthy manufacturer of oil field equipment. Fleeger greeted the prosecutor, District Attorney William E. Clayton of El Paso, with "good morning, Bill," when Clayton came into the courtroom.

Before the trial began, Clayton told a reporter he would not ask the death penalty. Adjudged Sane Reporters noticed that Mrs. Parsons, once very slender, had gained weight since the shooting. A sanilytrial ior Mrs. Parsons was held last May in El Paso.

De- fense Attorney O. B. Fisher of 1 Paris, said Mrs. Parsons was -t insane when she put a .22 target pistol inches from her husband's and pulled the. trigger twice.

1 But on May 27 a jury declared 4 she was sane then and sane at the time of the sanity trial and must be tried for murder. She had been in Timberlawn, a private sanitarium in Dallas for mental patients, since then. Filling of Ballot f-Vacancies Defined Supreme Court SANTA FE, Sept. 29 (JP) The Supreme court opinion barring the filling of ballot vacancies when there was no candidate in the pri-mary became final today. i clerk's office prepared the '-mandate sending the case back to Santa Fe County district court when the noon deadline passed without a rehearing having been asked.

The loser in the case was J. M. Granito, who was named by the party's executive committee May 29 as the Democratic candidate for county school superintendent. There was no Democratic candi- date for the job on the May 6 primary ballot. The county clerk refused to I certify Granito as a candidate be-cause the vacancy he sought to fill occurred before the primary.

Judge Edwin Swope upheld the county clerk and the supreme court upheld Swope. I The court referred to its 1942 opinion in the Schoyck case from Lincoln County. It held the same thing then. If such a practice were permitted, the court said, it might mean that political lead- WELCOME TO THE NEW MEXICO FAIR GET YOUR TICKETS NOW Judging of Wool Show Set Today Judging of the wool show at the State Fair will be held this morning.

IEADQUARTERS FOR WESTERN WEAR SPECIAL DURING RODEO AND FAIR LE WRANGLER JACKETS SSnS- MADE ESPECIALLY FOR THE COWBOYS WITH THE FAMOUS EMBROIDERED ON BACK SPECIAL AT WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 W-Agriculture Department spokesmen said today it may be some time before the ban on imports of livestock, meat and game animals from Canada is lifted. The border was closed to all such imports last Feb.

26 because of an outbreak of the dread foot and mouth disease in Canada. The disease affects deer and other such game as well as cattle. Canadian officials reported the country was free of all evidence of the disease two months ago. But an official of the U. S.

Agriculture Department's Bureau of Animal Industry said that agency still is investigating. In the past it usually has delayed about a year after an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in any area before lifting restrictions. Restrictions have been modified for U. S. hunters who bag deer, elk and moose in Canada.

They are allowed to bring back heads or trophies that have been properly mounted and inspected. They also may bring in game meat if it is cooked and boned. Bond PHKA.
