Sunday, Oct. 12, 1952 2 The Casper Tribune-Herald rts rr f2) Teachers Force To Bed Down in Jail The county jail was the only place with empty beds in Casper on Friday, according to four persons who slept there. Ordinarily not the type seen behind bars, the four slept in cells after they told of trying to rent rooms here but found every bed had a teacher in it. If they had known a teachers convention was going on, they wouldn't have headed for Casper, they sadly told a jailer.

This is regarded as an attempt to isolate the United States from Its Allies by removing the reason for the alliance, which is fear of Russian aggression.

Phone 935 WASHINGTON (J( Secretary of State Achesoft. presumably moving into his last round of international meetings as U. S. foreign policy chief, goes to New York Monday to seek fresh United Nations support for ending the war in Korea on U. S.

terms. Acheson expects to propose first a resolution calling on the Chinese and North Korean Reas to agree to a truce, including voluntary return of war prisoners, within a limited time after the resolution is adopted by, the U. N. General Should the Reds reject this peace bid Acheson plans to follow up with a second resolution designed to put new pressures on the Chinese Reds. The United States and Allied governments are consulting on what this absolution should say.

BOYCOTT OF CHINA It is understood the United States has suggested to Britain. France and other friendly nations that the second resolution should call for an economic boycott of Red China and withdrawal of diplomatic recognition by those nations which like Britain have extended it to Peiping. The British government, among others, is understood to have been cool to such suggestion and the actual proposals of the second-stage resolution are highly uncertain at this time. Acheson will head the American delegation at the 1952 U. N.

Gen. eral Assembly session opening Tuesday. Informants said he hopes to foscus the work of the meeting on issues between Russia and the free world, but they conceded this will be difficult because many of the smaller nations, notably those of South Asia and the Arab bloc, are more interested in doing battle on so-called colonial issues than in graopling with problems of Soviet Communism. SITUATION COMPLICATED Furthermore the opening weeks of the session will be complicated by the fact that the American presidential campaign, in which Acheson is a controversial figure, will be going on simultaneously. Undoubtedly much that he says will be subject to close scrutiny by (1) foreign diplomats who wonder whether a new administration will continue foreign policies for which Acheson speaks, and (2) American politicians "who wonder whether Acheson talks at the U.

tics led British Foreign Secretary Eden -and French Foreign Minister Schuman to postpone their arrivals at New York until after the November .4 election. Acheson, who declined either to seek or oppose postponement of the debate in advance, will thus be deprived at the outset of his two most powerful allies fcv dealing with Soviet Prospects for the meeting, are complicated further by uncertainty over what tactics Russia will I employ. Indications from the Com ommverofs In Capital, Senator Says WORLAND, Wyo. (JP) Jos eph McCarthy (R-Wis) said! here Saturday "the Demo-1 crats don't have a part in Washington it's the Commycrat party." Speaking to an unofficially estimated 750 persons at a Washakie County Republican rally, the Wisconsin senator pursued his theme of accusing the Democratic administration of being influenced by Communists. McCarthy Americans have been blinded for many years, and he called the greatest evil in government the extent to which "our suicidal foreign policy has been dictated from the Kremlin." He again accused the State Department for waat he called Communist influence.

"The American people are Americans first and Republicans and Democrats second," he said, "and all Americans of both parties must rally on Nov. 4 to rid Washington of the men with little minds." McCarthy urge! the election in Wyoming of Gov. Frank Barrett to the Senate and reelection of Rep. William Henry Harrison to the House. Barrett is opposing Sen.

Joseph! j. jvianoney ana Harrison Democratic opponent is Robert R. Rose, former assistant interior secretary. McCarthy is -scheduled to speak Sunday at a Republican picnic near Riverton, Wyo. Association Asks State Physical Ed Supervisor The Wyoming Women's Physical Activity association went on record Friday morning for the appointment ot a state supervisor of health and physical education.

The resolution was presented by Maud Greenwold, Evanston and Helen McCannon, Cody, during the three day state teachers convention here. Barbara Scifers, Casper, was elected president of the association, Helen C. McCormick, Cheyenne, vice president and Bettye Kerr, Casper, secretary. Kindness Costs Man His Wallet Police were investigating an odd theft last Tiight. A man, whose anonymity was requested, complained to officers his kindness cost him $35 when he took pity on a stranger.

The man, police said, told of how he was accosted on a Casper corner by a person who claimed he hadn't eaten or worked in several days and would appreciate a grubstake. Instead of a handout, the man told officers he felt so moved by thi strnntrpr's t.nlp hi tnolr him to his room the room the man continued, the stranger changed his approach and demanded his benefactor's The wallet was handed over. It contained $35 in cash and a Western Union money order notification. The stranger ordered his host to the Western Union station where he told him to cash the order. Instead of cashing it, the man said, he tore it up when the clerk waited on them.

Outside, the stranger told the man if he reported anything to po lice he would be sorry. Then the man said he ran into a hotel and went to the fifth floor where he called police and told of his plight. Drinking Driver Gets 10 Days in Jail Here Albert E. Larson, 1032 North Grant, after pleading guilty to a charge of driving a motor vehicle on the highway four miles of Casper while under the influence of liquor was sentenced to a 10-day jail term and fined $5.80 court costs by Jus tice William Mclntyre.

Hutt, 437, South Spruce, told police their cars had been rob bed of clothing yesterday. Scott said he lost a blue windbreaker jacket and Hutt said he lost a topcoat. Cold Reception There TRENTON, UoJW A burglar got a cold reception, but little cold cash Friday night.5: He broke into the Consumers Ice Company, but found only 60 cents, In his address in Harlem, Truman did not mention Sen. Spark man by name. Sparkman has been attacked by New York Governor Thomas E.

Dewey and other Republicans as a "white supremacy" advocate although he has declared support of of the Democratic platform with its call for fair employment and other civil rights legislation. Sponsor of Saturday's next-to-last address on the president's two week tour of the nation was an interdenominational ministers association. It gave Truman, for the second time, its Franklin Delano Roosevelt Award for achievement in good relations between races. Truman claimed for his adminis tration in the harlem speech the greatest progress toward equal rights that this country has seen since the abolition of slavery. PROGRESS IN DANGER Then, accusing the of obstructing civil rights legisla- tiont he declared "the progress we have been making in the field of human rights is in grave danger." Truman said that Eisenhower, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee while he was still in uniform, was against complete abolition of race segregation in the Army.

The Pre sident went on to say; "We are not going to turn the clock back, we are not going to turn this country over to the greedy interests that control the Republican party." Truman repeated his call for a federal fair employment practice law a stand that led to a southern revolt against him in 1948. "Such a statute must have en forcement powers if it is to mean I anything," the President said, "to talk about voluntary compliance i with fair employment practice is nonsense." WON'T TURN CLOCK BACK Then, accusing the Republicans of obstructing civil rights legislation, he declared "the progress we have been making in the field of human rights is in grave danger." Truman said that Eisenhower, in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee while he was still in uniform, was against complete abolition of race segregation in the Army. The Pre sident went on to say: "We are not going to turn the clock back, we are not going to turn this country over to the greedy interests that control the Republican party. They're not interested in equal rights x. i Truman repeated his call for a federal fair employment practice law a stand that led to a southern revolt against him in 1948.

"Such a statute must have enforcement powers if it is to mean anything," the said, "to talk about voluntary compliance with fair employment practice is nonsense." MQCRAT, Those BE SURE OU 0 NEW YORK President i Truman said Saturday the nation's whole civil program will be put in grave danger if Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, fcacxed by such southerners as James F. Byrnes is elected to the White House. In a major appeal to negro voters, Truman said the Democratic candidates on the other hand would fight -for strong new civil rights measures.

Despite Eisenhower's "whispering promises" to negroes, the president said, a Republican administration could not be depended on even to preserve the civil rights program already in effect and that one, he declared, is not good enough. Truman gave his pledge of firm Democratic action- toward equal rights legislation on behalf of both Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson and his vice-presidential running mate, Sen. John J.

Sparkman. MR. CIVIL RIGHTS The President was introduced to the audience in Dorrence Brook Square in the heart of negro Har lem as "Mr. Civil Rights in The negro population of New York city numbers about 600,000. Two high police officials estimated 100,000 persons heard him.

Some newsmen placed the number nearer to 25,000. When Truman spoke in Harlem during his 1948 campaign, police said his audience was 65,000. Saturday police estimated 750,000 persons saw the President on his way by auto to deliver his speech. When the President's party re turned, to the Biltmore Hotel after his speech, Police Commissioner George P. Monaghan said 1,750,000 persons had seen him during his motorcade trip and at the harlem rally.

Public Debt Up $2.5 Billions WASHINGTON W) The public debt rose 2'2 trillion dollars this week, to $264,811,550,399 (B) the highest point In six years. The increase reflected the treasury's latest bcr.crring, an issue of billion dollars worth of tax anticipation bills dated Oct. 8. Friday's treasury statement, for Oct. 8, added the issue to outstanding debt.

President Truman estimated in August that the federal debt would reach 2672 billions by next June 30, the end of the current fiscal year. The highest point the total debt has ever reached was (B) on Feb. 28, 1946. Pistol Taken from Cat Amos Hall, 308 North Ash, reported to police last that a Luger automatic pistol had been stolen from the glove compartment of his car early yesterday. 2.

"Did you delete some compll mentary references to Gen (George) Marshall from your Mil waukee speech, at the request of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, of Wiscon sin?" Eisenhower put everything off the record. Before the week was over, however, his statements on all three points had appeared in print. Doris Fleeson, syndicate columnist. and Thomas O'Neill of the Balti more Sun published his remarks about the question of statement on his financial status.

The general's words on his Milwaukee speech, and his attitude toward breaking relations with the Soviet Union also are being published. After publication of the Fleeson column, however, Eisenhower said he would make a statement regarding his finances and he said he would let anyone see it. The remarks about Russia fol-. lowed. And then he was asked whether he changes his Milwaukee speech at the request of Sen.

McCarthy. Eisenhower flately denied that he had altered his speech after talking with McCarthy. sized your -wine loan bvy. NASHVILLE, Tenn. Gov.

Adlai E. Stevenson closed a two-day battle to keep Dixie Democratic support with a shafp reminder Saturday night that a Republican victory will cost the South positions of power in congress. The, Democratic presidential nominee, standing firmly on the Democratic platform, interpreted his difference with the South on civil rights as one of method only. "I do not believe," Stevenson said, "that southerners have less regard for human dignity than other Americans." In an" address prepared for delivery here Saturday night at Berry Field, the Illinois governor' took a parting fling at Democratic governors Byrnes of South Carolina, Shivers of Texas, Kennon of Louisiana who have abandoned his cause and Jumped to the Eisenhower camp. "Embittered apostates," he called them, without speaking their names.

Men who "proclaim themselves Democrats while supporting the nominee of the Republican party." Stevenson put in an 18-hour day on the political firing line, -a busy day of campaigning here in Tennessee and at Miami and Tampa nlnns- a trail Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower had followed in early September. In Miami, where Republican nominee Eisenhower had made a corruption in government speech, Stevenson promised he would fight corruption "ruthlessly." Also in Miami, and' here Saturday night in Nashville, the Illinois governor jerred at Eisenhower's claim that the South is a neglected, taken-for-granted, captive of the Democrats. 10,000 HEAR SPEECH A crowd of 10,000 heard his early afternoon speech at Miami.

About 2,000 less than heard Eisenhower deliver a night speech in September. "Nearly 15.000 others lined streets over which Stevenson passed or greeted him at the airport. Eisenhower, he said in the Nashville address, has suggested to southerners that the road to freedom from political captivity lies In following, the "embittered apostates."

SEES DISAGREEMENT Stevenson acknowledged that many of his Nashville listeners probably disagree with him be cause he accepts the Democratic platform and its declaration for continued efforts to end oiscrimma' tion because of race, religion or nation origin. But. he said: "I refuse to believe there is any conflict between my viewpoint and yours in regard to the state ob-. jecuves oi mis piauorm piann.x It is my conviction that our dif- ference, such as it is, is no more than a disagreement over the method by which we should pursue a common end." He said, the genius- of his party lies in its ability to adjust conflicting viewpoints and arrive finally at programs and policies that meet the highwest aspirations of all Americans.

Thus the Democratic nominee apparently was attempting to mollify the South a bit on civil rights with out retreating from his support of the Democratic plank on that touchy issue. Double Rites Set Here for Crash Victims Double funeral services will, be held Monday afternoon for Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Scott, who met death late Thursday in a traffic accident.

Freeland of Grand Teton National Park announced today the payment of nearly $49,000 by the National Park Service to Wyoming for distribution to Teton County as compensation for tax losses sustained as a result of acquisition of privately owned lands within the exterior boundary of the park. All of the acquired lands lie within Teton County.

The payment covers tax losses for the years 1950 and 1951. When legislation was enacted in September 1950 to establish a new Grand Teton National Park by addi tion of Jackson Hole National Monument provisions were made for the Federal Government to reim burse the State for tax losses. The law provides for payments for ten years of an amount equal to the full amount of annual taxes last assessed and levied on the lands and any improvements thereon. For the next 20 years, payments are subject to a five percent reduction each year. The total annual payment cannot exceed 25 percent of the fees collected from auto permits to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park in any fiscal year.

Travel to Grand Teton National Park this past travel year was nearly 800,000, an increase of 35 percent over last year. Visitors came from every state in the union and" 32 foreign countries. If each of these visitors spent as Bttle as $10 in Wyoming the resulting eight million dollars constitutes an impressive addition to the economic assets of the state. Wage Officials Study Coal Pact WASHINGTON LP Key wage board officials gave unofficial scrutiny Saturday to a new, soft coal contract to see whether the $1.90 daily wage boost it gives to 350,000 miners can be approved under anti-inflation regulations. The 18-man board has not yet scheauiea a lormal meeting on the new one-year agreement, effective Oct.

1, but most observers foresaw approval at an early date There were indications formal study of all factors bearing on the wage boost would start early next week, with endorsement of the contract considered possible by next weekend. In the nation's soft coal pits, meanwhile, some iners were reported ready to stay home until the recently revamped WSB, headed by Archibald Cox. approved the pact. Ike Opposes Suggestion of Formal ireak vAth Soviets I 1 uu TO AVAIL OPPORTUNITY YOURSELF OF THIS TO SEE AND HEAR Meral "in Sniu I ii DENVER (Pi Gen. Dwight; Eisenhower is opposed to suggestions that the United States break off diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.

"There is an old army axiom never lose contact with your enemy," he told correspondents several days ago aboard his Presi- idential campaign train, "so I can't see anything to be gained by breaking off relations." The question was presented to Eisenhower last after the Russians requested the withdrawal of George F. Kennan, American ambassador to Moscow. One of the general's backers. Sen. William Knowland, of California, sent a telegram to Secretary of State Dean Acheson, urging that the United States, in retaliation, tell Georgi N.
