Redjearn Held Report Hursey Is Dying FLORENCE, S.C. AP) A murder charge loomed for ex-Probate Judge W. E. Redfearn Thurs day as death seemed near for funeral director Rudolph Hursey. Doctors at McLeod Infirmary here reported the 56-year-old Hur sey was dying.

They said they had given up hope for his surviv. al. Redfearn, the ousted Chesterfield County jurist, has been held on an open charge at the county jail in Chesterfield since Hursey was shot at his funeral home two weeks ago. The sheriff's" office said Redfearn would be charged with murder if Hursey died. SAH IN COMA The Rev.

R. N. Wells, pastor of St. Paul Methodist Church at Chesterfield, said Hursey was in a coma when he left the hospital bedside at 2 a.m. Thursday.

He said the funeral director had a fever of 106 degrees. The Methodist minister quoted doctors as saying they could do nothing more and that further measures to save Hursey's life "would have to come from above." a Redfearn was removed from office last July by Gov. Timmerman on charges of "gross misconduct and persistent neglect of duty." The 49-year-old probata judge was accused of using his office as a "marriage mill' for out of state couples. RUNS AGAIN But just before his ouster, Red fearn ran again for probate judg and was nominated for a new term. He was scheduled to taka over the post Jan.

1. The state attorney general's office expressed the informal opinion shortly after the shooting that only offenses involving "moral terpitude" such as forgery and robbery would bar a man from taking over an elective office if he were at liberty to do so. Friends who talked with Hur-sey quoted him as saying he did not know what motivated the shooting. Redfearn has declined to discuss it. TELEPHONES SHERIFF Redfearn telephoned the sher.

The near-flawless performance of the' determined Gamecocks had 46.000 people either elated with joy or deep in disappointment depending on which colors were being worn.

The Tigers obviously were being worn. The Tigers obviously were watching the touted halfback combination of Alex Hawkins and King Dixon. They didn't watch fullback John Saunders and quarterback Bobby Bunch enough. Saunders and Buncb were simply tremendous in fashioning the upset not so much by the win as by the score. Saunders had some vicious line plunges.

Coach Frank Howard aid he was the one who hurt Clemson the most. And Bunch, who missed Big last year due to injury, not only guided the team well but his determined running on the ground-gaining weeps of Carolina got the needed yardage in helping the Birds roil along for three second half touchdowns. Clemson scored first in the second quarter and none in the crowd expected what was to follow. The Gamecocks snapped right back, after halfback Steve Kopian had run the kickoff out to his 25. They marched 75 yards in 17 plays consuming almost eight minutes to send Saunders over from the one-yard line just 57 seconds before the first half ended.

A clipping penalty nullified Bunch's running over a two-pointer. It was 6 6 at balftime because the Tigers had driven 50 yards in 10 plays with 6:18 gone in tht second quarter, capped by quarterback Harvey White's three-yard scanter across the goal. White was piled up trying to pass for two points. TIGERS LOSE ROLE The Tigers had been known as a second half team, the come-from-behind boys before this one. But they were up against a fired-up team which seemed to want the victory more.

Seniors Hawkins and Dixon and the others had never won against the orange jerseys. But they had the Tiger by the tail this time, and didn't let go. The white jerseyed boys with red trim were as busy as cotton pickers with a thunderstorm approaching and the cotton pickin' Gamecocks yielded themselves a bumper crop on a hot day. It was a shirt-sleeved crowd which saw Carolina roll ever onward like the Pee Dee, Santee and Savannah in the second half. Giese didn't have to depart from his script, either.

The crunching ground attack of Carolina did what four others had been unable to do so far this season tear apart the Tiger defense. Carolina rushed for 262 yards and 19 first downs In a typical ball-control victory the likes of Ohio State and other power teams. Two passes were completed of three tried, good for 34 yards. Clemson's usually good offensive game was held In check by the strong Gamecock defense. The Tigers only had 95 yards rushing, and 138 passing in 11 of 18 aerials, good for 13 first downs.

Neither team lost a fumble nor had a pass Intercepted, In a game not decided by breaks but by one team being ready and rarin to go, "They were ready to play and we weren't," losing coach Frank Howard said. "They hit us with authority and we didn't respond." For awhile the Clemsons feared they had lost more than a ball game. Harvey White was hurt late In the game tackling Dixon In front of the Gamecock bench. It was first feared he had suffered a shoulder separation. Examination In the dressing room showed no such Injury, however.

OPTIMISTIC OF FUTURE Howard looked optimistically to the future. "This loss is the best thing that happened to us. Now 1 think we'll come back and win the next five." The Gamecocks expect to win the next five, too, and claim the (Continued On Page 20, Col, 1) who ducks responsibility There was oratory aplenty as time began running out for the Nov. 4 elections that will decide, among other things, whether the voters will keep control of Con gress in Democratic hands or give it to the Republicans. One pepped-up Republican lead er, Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks predicted in a campaign speech at Charleston for West Virginia GOP candidates: "President Eisenhower's hand will be strengthened in his work for prosperity and peace by the election of Republicans." "FIRED UP THE PARTY" Another, GOP Chairman Meade Alcorn, said at Washington that Eisenhower's just concluded swing to the West Coast ha? "fired up the party" as he has never seen it fired up before.

Truman, in a speech prepared for a fund-raising Democratic dinner in Boston, hit at Eisenhower on the civil rights Issue, especial ly as it applies to racial integration of schools. "The President has never told the nation that he believed the Supreme Court's decision (against segregation) was morally right," Truman said. "For three years, the administration stood aside, while the opposition in some parts of the country gathered its strength." Truman said Eisenhower failed to exert his "moral responsibility in this matter." The Democratic campaigner's speech followed a statement in New York by Vice President Nix BOBBY BUNCH the shoulders of the men who for USC (Greenville New: on that the Republicans have done more to advance civil rights than the Democrats have talked of doing for 20 years. Eisenhower himself got a cheering reception from Republican officials and others as he flew back to Washington from his five-day campaign tour of unprecedentedfor him criticism of the Democrats. While Alcorn and other GOP bigwigs buzzed around with congratulations, Eisenhower gave them a summary of his trip: "I didn't run into any pessi mism or apathy." Eisenhower had undertaken the trip amid reports that some Re publicans were beginning to agree with the widely current reports that this could be a year of sweeping victory for the Democrats.

Alcorn said later that he and Eisenhower had discussed the possibility of another campaign trip, and that plans may be announced early next week. The GOP chairman also gave reporters his own appraisal: "I am just as confident as I can be that the Democrats are In the declining stages of their campaign. I am equally confident that ours is well timed and will reach its peak on election day."

Vice Chairman Robert G.

Storey said It had not been decided whether the Montgomery hearing would be open to the public, but added that as far as he could see now It probably would be. The commission's decision to hold the hearing was unanimous. The commission also announced after a closed session that It had authorized further Investigations of alleged denial of voting rights In Mississippi and Florida. The first Investigations in those stales were authorized in September. There have been additional complaints since then.

Sapphire blue took an early lead and clung to it with the help of blondes and brunettes alike, who pushed it to a runaway victory over the harvest tones which have been favorites of the fashionable so far this fall. Mrs. Timmerman, a striking brunette, chose this color in a muted tone, emphasizing its richness with a large, feather-brimmed white hat. It was spotted vividly throughout the crowd, in sweaters and skirts worn with ropes of pearls, in chemise-influenced dresses circled with mink collars, In a suit teamed with paisley print blouse, and in a beret and tailored shirt, both velvet, worn with a sapphire and forest green blanket plaid slender skirt and chemise over-blouse. Second only to sapphire in the popularity contest was green, in willow, forest, emerald and turquoise-tinted.

Mrs. Sumwalt, wife of the acting president of the university, chose forest green: Mrs. Edwards, wife of the acting president of Clemson, also went along with the season in wearing deep beige. She was far from alone; here again blondes and brunettes found a variety of tints and tones from beige to brown to flatter their coloring. REDS GO STRONG Reds ranged all the way from lipstick to burgundy, from fuchsia through purple to amethyst.

The slaying of the boy's parents, government surgeon Melvin Nimer and his wife, Lou, both 31, in their Staten Island home Sept. 2 remained a mystery.

Scores of detectives have worked on the case without success. The boy first told police that his parents had been stabbed by a masked prowler who had tried to choke him. He later said he had committed the slaving, then reverted to his original story. The boy had been in Bellevue undergoing mental observation since Sept. 22.

Family living costs averaged the same in September as in August at 123.7 per cent of the 1947-49 base period. They had risen for two straight years until they dipped a bit between July and August.

The high-rising waistline effect was balanced by the number of hlpbanded suits, but almost all of both types were blouson, with just a few boxy Jackets thrown In for surprise.
