'Big Scare’
By BO BYERS
AUSTIN, Oct. 22 (A—Gov.
vers urged Texas voters tonight to
Shi-
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Rail-
way.
Coke, whose home is in Dallas,
served as toastmaster at the noon
program.
Mayor E B Ellis of Sweetwa-
ter welcomed the delegations to
Sweetwater.
Ellis brought a roar of laughter
from the croud when he appealed
to anyone in the crowd "who Is
not a bigshot please stand up."
Hummel and Guriev made the
chief addresses at the luncheon.
It was announced by Hummel
that Lone Star would add a third
kiln at the Maryneal plant, which
will increase the capacity of the
plant by 50 percent. ve
"We hope to have the new kiln
ready to go within 12 mot 1s,"
he said.
He praised the Santa Fe Rall-
wav for its graciousness in pro-
viding the dav of entertainment.
He also expressed great confi-
dence and faith in the future of
West Texas
“We selected Maryneal as our
plant location because of proxim -
tv to high-grade raw materials
and particularly because this is
almost the exact geographical
center of a great economic em-
pire within an emprie. namely,
the 132-county area called West
Texas, embracing a little over
half of the area of this fabulous
state.” he declared
Hummel made the statement
that "the railroads are being
slowly but surely strangled by re-
pressive nations! policies which
make it increasingly difficult for
the railroads and other Industries
a« well to earn a fair and reason-
able profit and so attract the eapi-
tal necessary to maintain and Im-

H. A. Sawyer, president of Lone
Star Cement, called attention to
the district sales office at Abilene,
"a city in which 1 lived for sever-
al years while traveling 110

vote for Dwight Eisenhower for
President and not be swayed by
what Shivers called Adlai Steven-
son’s campaign based on fear.
“What have we got to be afraid
of? 1 don't believe Texans are
afraid of anything. ” Shivers sald
at a rally of some 1500 central
Texas democrats for Eisenhower.
His appeals to democrats to
jump party lines without fear of
any evil consequences brought
strong applause.
Speaking at a rally of Central
Texas Democrats for Eisenhower,
Shivers said:
"Some of the commentators are
calling Mr. Truman's whistle-stop
campaign a practical application
of the propaganda theory known
as the big lie. This means that if
you say something often enough,
no matter whether it's true or not.
a lot of people eventually will be-
lieve it.
“Without passing judgment on
that, 1 think we can fairly call
Mr. Stevenson’s campaign the big
scare.”
Shivers has declared for Dwight
Eisenhower and against “Truman-
ism.”
He said Stevenson, the Demo-
cratic nominee. Is aiming the basic
appeal of Ms campaign at Amer-
ica’s fear of a depression
“ You never had it so good””
Shivers quoted Stevenson as say-
ing. ", Don’t let them take it
Then Shivers asked: "Don't let
them take what away? Who never
had it so good? The boys in Ko-
rea? The grafters in Washington?"
‘I don't think we need to worry
about a depression no matter who
is President, so long as Mr. Tru-
man's war goes on la Korea.”
Shivers continued “Is thia what
they mean when they sing: Don't
let them take it away'"
Shivers, who declared he could
not support Stevenson because the
latter favored federal ownership of
tidelands, said there are "only
three real issues in this campaign :
“1. Socialism and Communism
"2 That mess in Washington,
“3 The Korean War.”
TYPHOON DEAD

SAIGON, Indochina. Oct. 32
(—French authorities said to-
night the death toll from a ty-
phoon and tidal wave which
struck Phan Thiet, 100 miles
east of Saigon, and along the
South China Sea coast may
reach 500 Thirty were known

At least 2.000 straw huts
were destroyed Monday night
in the town of 20,000 popula-
tion. The typhoon lasted six
hours. The tidal wave was 90

Chinese Hall
Attacks On
Sniper Ridge
SEOUL, Thursday, Oct. 23 -
Chinese Communlat troops, their
ranks shattered by an estimated
1.245 killed. Wednesday broke off
their onslaughts on Sniper Ridge
which once carried them to the
crest.
"We chopped up the better part
of two battalions," said the South
Korean officer who directed the
stout defense of the strategic height
on the Central Front.
After the last Chinese had pulled
out to the north. South Korean sol-
diers counted 45 Communist
corpses on the hill. Their officers
estimated 330 other Chinese were
killed in the battle that raged over
the ridge from dusk Tuesday to
Wednesday afternoon.
The Communists committed an
eallmated 2,000 men to one more
furious attempt to take Sniper
Ridge and its commanding pinna-
cle. Pinpoint Hill, captured by the
South Koreans in last week’s limit-
ed Allied offensive.
(White Allied losses were not es-
timated. the Defense Department
la Washington reported the highest
weekly U. S. casualty toll store
last July. Total reported for the
week ended Oct. 17 was 963, in-
eluding 133 killed This brought
U. 8 casualties in the Korean War
to 122,117.)
Truman Charges Eisenhower
With Circus Ballyhoo Race
Voles by Prosperity Illusion
TROY, N Y., Oct 22 W—Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower tonight ae-
cused the Truman administration
of deliberately adopting a policy
of inflation that imperiled the na-
tion like “a concealed minefield."
The Republican presidential
nominee charged that the purpose
was to win the next election by
making the people think they had
more money—though it waa worth
less
Eisenhower fired this blast in an
address prepared for delivery at
the Rensselaer Polytechnic Insti-
tute field house.
His speech here followed a three-
day New England whistle stop tour
in which he slashed back at Presi.
dent Truman's charge that a Re-
publican victory would lead to an
economic crash.
He told cheering crowds in Hart-
lord. Conn., Springfield and Pitts-
Held, Mass., today that prospects
for both prosperity and peace
would be better under a Republi-
can administration.
NO ACCIDENT
"The Inflation we suffer la not
an accident," Eisenhower declared
at Troy. "It is a policy.”
And, he added in one of his stiff-
est attacks yet on the Democratic
leaders:
"What they have done la to
cheapen our money and history
shows that thia la always done by
administrations that care more for
the next election than for the next
generation.”
Eisenhower said that back in the
Middle Ages officials tried to make
fortunes by "coin clipping" and
that outraged people sometimes
punished them by cutting off their
hands."
He added:
“We have a more humane and a
mors effective remedy for today's
coin clippers—cutting them off
from public office.”
Eisenhower said currencies must
be strengthened. Inflation beaten
and economic affairs set straight
"or you will lose the battle with
communism without a gun being
fired. ”
INFLATION
"Clemenceau (French World War
I leader) once said that war is too
serious a matter to be left to gen-
erals.” Eisenhower said. "Today
someone might well sav Inflation
is too critical a matter to be left
to the politicians of expediency la
Washington."
Eisenhower said businesslike

Truman declared the general la
willing to make politics out of the
Korean casualty lists And he said:
"I cannot trust a man who haa
played this kind of game with the
grave issues of our national se-
curity.
Trumans newest onslaught
against Eisenhower was in a radio
• nd television address after a day
of barnstorming through Pennsyl-
vania on behalf of Gov Adlai Ste-
venson
Nourse and Marriner Eccles—re-
signed." the general said.
"Another result has been the
spectacle of a struggle between the
Federal Reserve Board and the
Treasury Department over our
country's credit and money pol-
cies.
"What would happen to an air-
plane in flight if the pilot and co-
pilot fought over the controls
“Well, just about the same thing
happened to inflation control under
this administration. It crashed."
Eisenhower did not mention by
name either President Truman or
Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presi-
dency.
Eisenhower and his wife were
greeted at the Albany railroad sta-
tion by Gov. Dewey and Mrs.
Dewey. The four rode together the
10 blocks to the executive mansion,
where they dined. A crowd esti-
mated at approximately 5.000
greeted Eisenhower at the station
and along the route to the mansion.
Labor Portion
Of WSB Levels
Coal Pay Blast
WASHINGTON, Oct, 22—
Labor members of the Waga Sta-
bilization Board charged today that
the board "spent more time find-
ing ways to deny than to approve”
tlM $1.90 wage increase negotiated
by John L. Lewis
Public and Industry members al
the WSB trimmed that $1.90 by 40
cents, leading to an immediate
nation-wide soft coal strike, the ef-
fect. of which are already spread-
ing to other industries. The public
and industry members said the full
$1.90 would violate government
controls designed to curb inflation.
The labor members of the tri-
partite board severely criticized
their associates and said the ma-
jority decision la effect precipitated
the strike They said: "It to not

putes,"
Issuing their dissenting opinion
In the controversial case, the six
labor members Mid the record of
past WSB action clearly made ap-
proval of the full amount possible.
The main burden of their argument
was that miners today do not get
three fringe" benefits in effect to
many other industries. These are
paid vacations, paid holidays aad
higher shift differentials
Strong criticism of Lewis' refusal
to accept the wage board decision
came meanwhile from Rep. Laras
(D-Tex), member of the House
Labor Committee.
Lucas issued a statement de-
daring that Lewis "for years ar-
cepted all the privileges accorded
him under the law and refused to
