I Hi'-fin TH Demos Drop Wallace And Pepper Tours 2 Foremost Disciples Of FD Blacklisted For Party Speeches WASHINGTON, 'Sept. 21. (UP) Democratic headquarters, in a fol-lowup to the political and foreign policy explosion that blasted Henry A. Wallace out of the the Cabinet, Saturday 'blacklisted Wallace and Senator Claude Petter (D-Fla.) as party sponsored speakers in the Congressional election campaign. The two foremost disciples of the Roosevelt New Deal will be at liberty to make as many speeches as they wish.

But they will be on their own. The Democratic National Committee left the ex-Secretary of Commerce and Pepper off its list of campaign speakers. Representative John J. Sparkman chairman of the Democratic speakers' bureau, said the committee would not sponsor any speeches made by either this fall. While Sparkman acknowledged that -he was not speaking for tho committee, a oommittee spokesman said Sparkman's decision would stand unless reversed by Democratic Chairman Robert E.

Han-negan. The spokesman said thai was not likely. Tour Dropped Before this week's foreign policy blow-up, the speakers' bureau had mapped out an ambitious speaking schedule for Wallace ii- a move to keep left-wing elements in line for the crucial Congressional elections. But the committee sponsored Wallace tour was dropped after Wallace decided in a conference with President Truman Wednesday not to make any speeches until after the Paris Peace Conference ended.TWallace took the position that if he couldn't talk about foreign policy, he didA't care to do any stumping on domestic issues. After Truman abruptly fired Wallace Friday, there was some speculation hat Wallace might re sume his sponsored speaking tour, just as he jolumped for the Roosevelt-Truman ticket in 1944 after being beaten for the Democratic vice presidential re-nominatlon.

"The official, Chou En Lai, chief Communist negotiator in the peace talks of the last few months, said he foresaw the dispute would be taken from General George C. Marshall and Dr. John Leighton Stuart and officially carried before the UN. "Fair and impartial" American mediation of the dispute still is welcomed by the Communists, he said, "but today it is neither fair or impartial." Chou charged the United States had violated the Big Three Moscow pledge to withdraw foreign troops from China and abstain from interference in China's civil affairs.

Yet the Missouri University Tigers had to jump from the frying pan into" the fire to convince themselves they were playing with dynamite Saturday afternoon when they countered the University of Texas Longhorns for the second time within nine months. More explosive than in their New Year's Day meeting, the Longhorns rocked the Missouri eleven for a 42-0 decision Saturday before 37,000 fans, the largest crowd ever to see an opening day game in Memorial Stadium. It was the most impressive display of offensive power put on by a Dana X. Bible-coached team since his last pre-war club that 1941 powerhouse trounced Oregon, 71-7, on the day the Japs were moving in for their attack on Pearl Harbor. Football On L'pjrade The touchdown parade that started in the first four minutes of play and continued into the final period was a very appropriate beginning for what is to be Bible's tenth and final season as head coach at Texas.

It was an exhibition that brought assurance that collegiate football on its way back to the level it reached before the war. There was never any doubt of Texas' superiority, although th contest started out as if it might be a replay of the Cotton Bowl battle in which the Longhorns took the Tigers, 40-27. That is, the Longhorns started out this way, but the lads from Missouri failed to follow suit. Texas struck for the first of its six touchdowns in the first three and a quarter minutes of play and needed but five plays to score once it went on the attack. Boby Lane, hero of the Cotton Bowl clash in which he figured in all of the 4C points, was the first to cross the double-stripe, going over from the two-yard line to climax a drive that started back on his 38 less than two minutes before.

Long Runs Plentiful Subsequent scores were even more explosive, all of them being scored, on the average, from 50 yards out. That's why it was a great game for the fans in spite of the one-sided score. Touchdowns were manufactured in nearly every conceivable way. There was a 52-yard sprint by Ralph Ellsworth through the middle of the Missouri team for the second touchdown, a 45-yard run-back of an Intercepted pass by Center Dick Harris, an 80-yard pass play on which Passer Bobby Layne collaborated with Receiver Jimmy Canady, a 48-yard punt return by Frank Guess, and a 30-yard jaunt by Tommy Landry to touch it off. As if this were not enough, the Longhorns tossed in two more points on a safety.

The two-point increase on the Cotton Bowl aggregate was picked up early in the final period, when Halfback Roger Evans and Center Ben Procter broke through and dumped Tiger Don O'Hara behind his own goal line. Missouri, on the other hand, never made a serious scoring gesture.

The TVxn Poll President Truman remains more popular in Texas than in the nation as a whole, but the number of people who are not quite sure what to make of the chief executive has increased in the last few months. The Texas Poll surveyed the state in May and again within the last few weeks, asking the question, "Do you approve or disapprove of Harry Truman as President of the United States?" These were the answers from a cross section of adults representative of all Texas May Approve .61 Disapprove 32 Undecided 7 xNow '59 26 15 Less Dislike Note that there are now less people who dislike Truman's administration of the country's affairs than there were in May. There has, however, been no corresponding rise in the number of persons approving of him. If anything, his vote-of-confidence percentage has decreased but a difference of two percentage-points in opinion sampling referenda such as this is hardly significant. The largest shift of opinion has been in the rise of indecision regarding Truman by 8 points.

When this undecided increase is added to the fact that the President's popularity certainly is not Climbing in Texas, it appears clear that his position in this state has at least not improved in recent months. Has Lost Support That he has lost support elsewhere in the United States was recently pointed out by the national Gallup Poll. The difference is that although in July Truman no longer held a majority of the people of the nation with him, Texas still backs him up nearly three to two. This Texas Poll reflects sentiment after the President's fight with Congress over continuation of the OPA. Other surveys have indicated the Texas public agreed with Truman that price control should have been retained much the same as during the war.

The survey does not measure opinion changes since Truman's approval of Henry Wallace's recent speech attacking American foreign policy, then his explanation that he had only meant to sanction the secretary's right to speak his mind. If the public side.s with the Stale Department spokesman who said Mr. Truman made a "colossal blunder," the President's popularity may have slipped some more.

If Silver Spurs, the campus organization that was behind the gentle spoofing of Mr. Truman, intends to keep up th trend, it won't find any shortage of material in Austin or in Washington.

Piano With Leggy Blonde Very briefly, Misouri's Favorite Son was presented in a little tableau which had him at the ivories of a truck-borne piano at is wheeled slowly around the cinder track. The tune he played was "The Missouri Waltz." It's a piece which Mr. Truman, who's a musical conservative, is said to admire. Atop the piano, in a reclining pose, was a beautiful leggy blonde, who wasn't Lauren Bacall at all but a Zeta pledge from Houston named Betsy Bobo. The man at the piano was also recognizable to his friends as Pat Smith, a student from Waco.

Good, Solid Laugh The lampooning got a good, solid, non-partisan laugh from the crowd. The stunt was followed by an episode down on the field in which a Frank character advanced on and bagged a papier-mache Missouri Tiger. A "forest," composed of bushes in the hands of a half-dozen lads, obligingly ran up to cover the beast, but the Texas hunter captured him as easy as 42-0. The humor was helped along, inadvertently, we think, when the tiger parted in the middle and four very collegiate legs were exposed as his pedal power. The first game of the season, in which only the weather man was a villain to Lorfghorn supporters, brought out a moist, happy crowd on page 4, col.
