25 Coun ty Judge William Haralson today charged Sheriff Abb Payne with "failure to perform his palpable duty" in connection with enforcement of prohibition laws. The accusation was made by Haralson in a written statement awarding judgment for the state and county in cases involving ten Forrest county residents charged by the state tax collector with the illegal sale of whiskey.

Sept. 25 CP A packed hall cheered Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower tonight when he assailed the nation's military program and promised a government that "will see to it that America is safe." An overflow crowd of more than 11.000 roared approval when the GOP presidential nominee appealed for a halt to what he called "stop-and-start planning." Eisenhower called unification of the armed services a virtual fail-1 ure.

He opposed universal military training while the draft is in operation. I He charged there Is a "famine or feast" policy toward the mili tary which has encouraged a fren-1 zied arms expansion with "disor der and duplication and The greatest applause came when he turned his criticism on the Democratic administration and called for a change in Washington. MUCH APPLAUSE He was interrupted by applause 25 times in his 23-minute speech. Two nights ago. Gov.

Adlai Stevenson of Illinois, Eisenhower's Democratic rival for the presiden cy, spoke irom the same piatiorm in the 5th Regiment Armory to an estimated 8,500 slightly less than the seating capacity. And he said that so long as there is a draft of young men into the armed services "we cannot at the same time establish any form of training for our young men." Previously Eisenhower has been an advocate of universal military training and of puttng it into effect despte the difficultes n-volved. This pronouncement seemed to put Eisenhower directly in line with the views that have been expressed by Republican Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio on this sub ject.

STREETS THRONGED Eisenhower's address followed a day-long whistle stop swing down the Potomac River Valley and into Baltimore, where he drove through streets packed by a cheering throng estimated by Police Capt. Thomas J. Keyes at 75,000. Indirectly but unmistakably, Eisenhower voiced sharp criticism of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is now headed by Gen. Omar N.

BradVy, an ld friend and one of his top cemmanders in World War n. Eisenhower said that so-called unification of the armed services has produced more and not less competition among the branches. "Such unity as we have achieved is too much form and too little substance," he declared. "We have continued with a loose way of operating that wastes time, money and talent with equal generosity. "With three services in place of the former two, still going their separate ways and with an overall defense staff frequently unable to enforce corrective action, the end result has frequently been not to remove duplication but to replace it with Asserting that there must be an end to this as soon as possible, the general declared: "Neither our security nor our solvency can permit such a way Of conducting the crucial business Tiny Bubble' Is Hurricane Now MIAMI, Sept.

The Republican nominee for vice president, clearly elated by his party's vote of confidence, de-mandel anew that Stevenson give the American people "all the facts" about his Illinois political fund. The Democratic candidate for president has said he does not intend to list the contributors. "To put it bluntly," Nixon said in a statement, "there is a smelly mess in Washington.

All of the alfalfa grown in the- state of Utah can't produce enough chlorophyl to make that Washington mess smell sweet." "We need a man like Gen. Ei- wno wiu go in wnn mess. It can't be cleaned un by Stevenson, the chlorophyl canli- date." (Chlorophyl is a chemical marketed as an odor killer.) The California senator read his statement to newsmen on the flight from Wheeling, W. scene of his emotional rendezvous with Eisenhower. He said it would form the out- nine for a speech in Salt Lake City tonight marking the renewal of his interrupted campaign schedule.

At the same time, Nixon praised Eisenhower for his "sound judg- the situation brought on by Nixon's $18,000 expense fund The California senator's advisors, declared earlier that "from here on in he expects to take the offensive against the Democts who demanded his resignation from the GOP ticket. They said too, that "the book is closed" on the $18,000 fund he was forced to defend in a nation-wile broadcast. Nixon looked refreshed and buoyant as he flew away from Wheeling where he received Eisenhower's assurance that he will remain as his running mate. Their first meeting took place in Nixon's chartered plane last night when Eisenhower stepped aboard to greet the 39-year-old Californian. "You're my boy," he told him.

Nixon broke down and cried. They conferred for about an hour aboard the Eisenhower special train after the GOP presidential candidate told a Wheeling Stadium audience that the Republican National Committee had voted 107-0 to retain Nixon. The Nixon plane took off from Wheeling at 2:03 p.m. EST, today and made a stop-over at Denver at 5:56 p.m. EST.

Nixon in his statement, quoted from Thomas Jefferson: "When a man assumes a public trust he must consider himself as public property." He said: ane party in power win go down in history as the party which is dedicated to the principle of cover up. Cover up so that people won't know what's happening, cover up to keep in power. "Cover up the tremendous waste in our federal expenditures. CJover up the truth about inflation.

Mrs. Thomas Bailey, the state tax collector; and two deputy tax collectors who made whiskey purchases upon which the suits were based, denied this repeatedly in testimony. Under the 4iyear-old law, the judgements awarded by Haralson are $1,000 against each of the 10 defendants, with half the money to go to the state and half to the county. Defense attorneys have said they would appeal to chancery court. In his attack on Sheriff Payne, Judge Haralson stated that the sheriff had "ample time and opportunity to bring similar proceedings.

(But) it was only after his failure to perform this palpable duty to penalize the bootleggers that the state tax collector assumed this obligation." Haralson said also that "too often in our land we hear the loud voice of law enforcement only to find its hand warmly clasping that of the enemies of society. Actions still speak louder than words." Pavne was elected sheriff on a campaign that he would "dry up" the county. In his answer to Judge Haralson's accusations, Payne stated: "For forty years, I am advised, there has never been a single instance where any sheriff in Mississippi has filed such civil suits against bootleggers. statute was never contemplated as a means of law enforcement by the I feel, therefore, that Judge Haralson's criticism of is wholly unjustified and should not have been made a part of his opinion in these cases."

1 I 1 a Still Active Minister At Van Winkle Leader In The Movement Unless Hinds County law en forcement officers clean up the Van Winkle section by this coming Saturday night, Sept. 27, residents of that area who are mem'oers of the Van Winkle Baptist church are going to ask Governor White to step into the picture. This program, offered by the Rev. H. A.

Milner. nastor of the church, was endorsed unanimously by the 276 persons present when presented to the congregation last Sunday night. At that time, Rev. Milner told his hearers at the church service: "I announced this morning that I would give you a report tonight on the bootlegging situation as it now stand in Van Winkle. As you know, last Sunday night we had several nice things to say about our sheriff and were very complimentary of him.

We are not yet going to take those statements back. "Our sheriff and his denutien have made some raids in this area within the past 8 days and we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for what they have done and we plead with them to continue their efforts to put a stop to th sale of whiskey in our community. I know for a fact that immediately following at least 2 of these raids whiskey could be secured from the places that had just been raid ed. I also hold before you, evidence (three half pints labeled as to time tjurchased. nrice and nlace) which proves that whiskey can still De bougnt these places, for this evidence was purchased less than 3 hours ago.

"Your pastor has contacted the sheriff at least five times. Many of you have called by telephone and some of you have gone to his offic and personally asked him to do something about this deplorable sit- uation. It seems from all evidences, that he is unable to coDe with the situation and too he has said that he could not stop them from selling whiskey in the bushes. Since our elected officials have failed so far, and have admitted that they could do nothing about whiskey being sold from the bushes, we do hereby recommend that if whiskey con still be bought in this area through next Saturday September 27, that the people of Van Winkle community petition the honorable governor Hugh White to step in and do some- tning about this damnable, un-God-ly, deplorable situation." Draws Death For Murdering Wife Indianofan Found Guilty By Jury INDIANOLA, Sept. 25 Herman Lee West, 31, was convicted of the murder of his wife, Jean, and sentenced to death in the electric chair here Thursday afternoon.

The jury, picked from a 75 man special venire, deliberated for only 20 minutes before returning its verdict. Judge Arthur Jordan presided. It was the last case on the docket of the Sunflower County Circuit court. District Attorney Stanny Sanders and County Attorney Pasol J. Townsend, handled the prose cution.

According to the testimony. West choked and beat his wife to death at their home on the Old Lombardy plantation some eight miles northwest of Drew. He then carried her body to a field near his home where he slashed her with a kitchen knife and buried the body. The crime, which took place oa the night of April 21, 1952, was discovered five days later when neighbors became suspicious of Mrs. West's absence from her home and children.

After questioning by Deputy Sheriff W. W. Billings. West admitted the crime and signed a confession. CHICAGO, Sept.

25 (INS, Stuart S. Ball, president of Montgomery Ward and the firm'a treasurer, Arthur R. Cahill, annon ced their resignations today. Ball's resignation as the top executive of the big mail order house surprised the business world. The 48-year-old executive was regarded as a fixture with the firm.having been with the company since 1932.

Ball's successor was announced as Edmund A. Krider, who has vice president and comptroller of the firm for four years. He has bee been with Ward's since 1935. Cahill, 45, treasurer and vice president since 1948, was succeeded by Howard S. Kambestad.

Wright Stands By Stevenson Position Unchanged Since Convention Former Governor Fielding L.

Wright, now serving as Democratic National Executive Committeeman from Mississippi, will vote for Stevenson and Sparkman, Nov. 4. He has made it clear that he will not go for the Eisenhower-Nixon Republican ticket. While Wright steadfastly refuses to discuss his preferences in ihe political campaign now he referred newsmen Thursday to his Democratic convention speefch'here Aug. 18, indicating he has not wavered from that stand.

The above facts were pronounced in that speech, Wright will have a statement at a later date, it is indicated, but is not ready to speak at this time. The statement will be very frank. While the leader of the states' rights movement in 1948 is not at all satisfied with the campaign statements or Stevenson on many issues, it is known a he considers, the Democratic candidate one of the brainiest men in the nation and a man of high honor. It is further known that ex-Gov. Wright does not consider Stevenson as dangerous to the South as some would set him up to be.

Wright actually considers Stevenson as a conservative-liberal. The former Mississippi governor feels that Stevenson is handicapped by President Truman, but has no way to shake the President off his coattail in the campaign. In his convention speech Agust 18 ex-Gov. Wright declared that he would vote the Democratic ticket, would not vote for Eisenhower, but that he did not like the Democratic platform. Still he thinks the Republicans have nothing for the South.

By the same token, he is equally dissatisfied with the Republican platform, and convinced that though Eisenhower maybe fairly conservative, the general will be controlled by Henry Cabot Lodge and other liberals, and that Lodge will head up the rules committee under a Republican Congress. Lodge has declared emphatically he will put the whole civil rights plan into effect. While Former Governor Wright refuses to make a statement at this time, sources close to him further reveal that he is deeply disappointed that the South did not stand together at the Chicago National Democratic Convention or when-the state delegations returned home, and take to the states' rights ticket again. But, that failure, he knows has sounded the death knell of the' state's rights movement. Now, it is said, ex-Gov.

Wright feels that the strength of the South will rest largely, not with the presi dent but with tne Democratic Congress, and it is on this premise that he will stand by the Democrats. Like Gov. Hugh L. White, Gov. Wright thinks Mississippi will go Democratic by a large majority, his friends say, but he considers that Eisenhower may get about a 30 percent vote in this state.
