Nov! 10 Byrd's destription of the Truman Administration as a "greater menace than Russia" to this nation drew a sharp rejoinder from another Virginia Democrat today. Martin A. Hutchinson, of Richmond, a pro-Truman, anti-organization party leader who ran against Byrd in the 1946 Senate primary, fired a telegram of protest at Byrd.

RICHMOND, Nov. 10 UP) Virginia's Democratic political leaders see the threatened "Southern Revolt" against the renomination of President Truman as somewhat akin to the nation's preparedness program. That is, they're hopeful they don't have to get into an all-out war. But if it comes they want to be ready for it. This was pointed up in the recent address of Senator Byrd at Selma, Ala.

in his call to Southerners "to save the Democratic party from elements in control who have debauched its principles and made it a party of political expediency And Governor Battle, in a terse comment today on Byrd's address, made it plain why the precise plan of Southern attack can't be-blueprinted exactly this time. Agreea With Byrd 1 thoroughly agree with what Senator Byrd has said, and I think the further action. If any, to be taken must be governed by the happenings at the Democratic National was the governor's observation. Battle dldnt go Into further particulars but his If any" qualification of further Southern action Indicated the realizatlc that the Southern Democrats aren't sure, yet whether they'll have a war to fight at the convention next summer. One factor that could mean a quick trucewould be for Mr.

Truman to remove himself as a potential candidate for renomination to be supplanted by someone acceptable to the Southern wing of the party. General Eisenhower, boomed as a likely Republican presidential candidate, is not ruled out as a Democratic candidate. Senator Byrd, Is his Alabama ad-reas last week, dldnt go Into the matter, of Democratic presidential candidate directly, but be did say what possible truce terms the Southerners might offer the convention. He said: "Wt ean ask, at the national convention, for restoration of the two thirds rule (nomination by two-third vote at the convention rather than simple majority which the convention adopted in nominating Mr. Roosevelt the first time.) "We can ask repeal of the Humphrey (Senator Humphrey-D-Minn.) civil rights resolution of 1948.

Possibilities Outlined "We can ask for an endorsement, in the platform of the next convention, of the true principles of the Democratic Party; of reaffirmation of states rights which were dealt a heavy blow in the national convention of 1948." It was at this point that Senator Byrd apparently felt that further partkularizatlon would be to no effect at this time, for he added: "If these requests are denied, we can take counsel among ourselves and determine our course it would be unrealistic at this time for any of us to chart precisely our 1952 course. We must meet the conditions as they develop. But, above all, I repeat the Southern states must keep themselves free to take whatever effective action may be necessary for our fundamental freedoms." This "effective action" was Inter- (See SOUTHERNERS, Page 12) 'Duet' Hailed In Finale AtMBC "Proof positive" that The Curtain Callers of Mary Baldwin College merit much more than casual consideration when Staunton citizens seek entertainment was the Saturday night finale the students' presentation of five one act plays.

Page 12) Firemen Halt Flames At Forest Edge A field fire at the foot of the Blue Ridge, one and one-half miles southeast of Dooms, yesterday afternoon threatened to spread into an adjacent forest, but was extinguished by firemen before any damage had been done. Firemen from Waynesboro, Stuarts Draft, and Augusta County companies, as well as forest wardens, answered the call. A Waynesboro fireman said the fighters were aided by a timely switch in wind direction.

It changed suddenly and blew flames away from the timber. The alarm was received In Waynesboro at 1:30 pjn. Four other grass fires were extinguished in Staunton, Stuarts Draft, and Waynesboro during the sunny afternoon. None resulted In damage. Staunton firemen quenched one on Buttermilk Spring Road shortly after 3:31 and another on Buick Street after 4:37 pih.

Waynesboro firemen put out one there on Oak Avenue after 2:15 p. and Stuarts Draft firemen extinguished another field- fire one mile east of Route 12 about one p.m. In addition, Augusta County firemen answered a false alarm from Greenville at 4:10 pm. "That is indeed a serious and to some of us a questionable charge for a United States Senator to make against the of this government, irrespective of your own personal dislike for the President and his Administration, and especially at a time like the present, when the free nations of the world are looking to the United States for leadership. 1 "The menace which you say we face from our own government will no doubt be welcome news to Joseph Stalin and the Kremlin.

"Wherein and in what way would you change the foreign policies of the administration? What Is your program and what "harsh measures' do you propose that Southern Democrats take to save the party and the nation? You say we are in danger what do you offer other fnan criticism? "Your charge was made public, hence I am likewise making this communication public." Byrd made his "greater menace" comparison here Thursday night at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce's annual Forum of National Affairs.

Goal In AH ROCKY MOUNT, Nov. 10 (A5) Ever since Bonnie Peters Joined the 4-H club in 1943,. she had wanted to become a member of the All-Star chapter. The Franklin County youth started working toward that goal. She worked hard at projects such as food, canning, housekeeping, breadmaking, gardening, laundry and clothing.

Many of the projects were a help to" her and her family in their daily live. Bonnie- said. For example, while her mother was away on a visit, Bonnie said, "1 did the planning, cooking and serving of meals and also did the general routine work all alone for a family of five." She and her mother print 30 pounds of butter and pick and dress about 50 chickens each week of the summer. Her father sells these at a market d' Bonnie started giving demonstrations In all her projects, and soon had 79 such exhibitions to Although Rockingham's total In come was the highest, its per" cap Ann Henkel, of Wilson Memorial her credit.

Elsenhower, 42 to 25, among party officials willing to express their preference for the Republican presidential nomination. 2. Of those who professed to know or wye willing to guess, 54 believe Eisenhower is available for the nomination against 24 who do not. 3. The bulk of the party officials remain uncommitted to any nomination candidate and still are undecided about Elsenhower's future political plans.

Answers to the first question showed a wide area of indecision and doubt among the party officials about the General's plans. Sixty-nine either said they cant hi Intentions or declined to 'comment at all The 64 who said they believe Eisenhower will be a candidate some of them attached conditions Included 14 national committeemen, 12 committeewomen. 15 state chairmen and 13 governors.

Participating In the poll were 44 committeemen, 37 committeewomen, 41 state chairmen and the 25 Republican governors. Taft's lead over Eisenhower was established firmly among national committee members and state chairmen. Eisenhower was the top-heavy choice among governors willing to express an opinion. Committee members gave Taft 28 votes, stateiren twelve and two governors came out for him. Elsenhower got the votes of ten committee members, six state chairmen and nine governors.

Taft was a 12 to favorite over Elsenhower among GOP State chairmen willing to express their preference.

And, with the new urgency of the atomic age, divine worship and the thunder of artillery will be offered for a common purpose: the prevention of World War m.

President Truman asked the American people to observe Armistice Day "with renewed prayers for the establishment of permanent peace." He said in his annual proclamation that armed aggression, which flared in the two world wars, "has once more been loosed by the Communist onslaught in Korea." Observances throughout the country will show how the United States is meeting the new threat with men, munitions, belt-tightening and, in the churches, with a thousand variations of the poet Kipling's prayer: i-1 "Lord God of hosts, be with us Vet "Lest we forget lest we forget!" With Korean casualties already more than 95,000 a fourth as many killed, wounded and missing as this country suffered in World War I and with draft calls mounting, defense contracts multiplying, prices and taxes rising, few Americans were likely to forget the cost of war.

Hank Lauricella touched off the rout with a 20-yard touchdown gallop three minutes after the game opened. Playing less than eight minutes, the great little Tennessee tailback sprinted 54 yards for a second touchdown and set up a third with a 27-yard dash to WMs 19. In all LaurioUa ran with the ball six times and netted 114 yards before retiring in favor of reserve tailbacks Hal Payne and Larry Crowson.

They continued to reel off touchdowns almost at will. Tennessee dipped off tts 17th staright football victory to the delight of 20,000 spectators. Virtually helpless on the ground against Tennessee's stubborn defensive line, Washington and Lee struck pay dirt twice on Gil Bocetti the Generals' crafty split-T quarterback, speared end Bob Thomas with a 16-yard toss In the end one In the second period and again hit Thomas with a 35-yarder midway in the fourth stanza.
