Elsenhower Strikes
At 'Fair Deal' In
His Closing Talks
By MERRIMAN SMITH
CHICAGO, Nov. 1—UP—Dwight
D. Elsenhower, weary from months
on the campaign trail, flies back
to his New York headquarters Sat-
urday for one last nation-wide ra-
dio and television appeal to the
voters.
After a major speech here Fri-
day night, Eisenhower and his top
campaign advisers decided against
further side trips and whistle-stop
stumping in the East, except for
an election eve speech in Boston
Monday night.
He showed his election optimism
in his speech before a monster
rally In the Chicago Stadium Fri-
day night.
'Demand to Be Satisfied'
"The extraordinary thing is that
they—the opposition—thought that

the American people would be so
years of Fair Deal misrule, that
they would not rise up and demand
a change from the bungling of
these Issues—a change to a gov-
ernment of honesty vision and
courage.
"But that demand will be satis-
fied—four days from now."
The reception Chicago gave the
GOP nominee was only fair. Tiers
of empty seats loomed in the bal-
cony of the stadium and behind
the speaker's stand.
He lashed out at President Tru-
man and Democratic presidential
candidate Gov. Adlai E. Steven-
son, calling them "my Siamese-
twin opponents," and accused them
of assailing him with "the greatest
collection of flim-flamming accus-
ations made in any campaign."
He called Stevenson Mr. Tru-
man's "protege" and the President
"the senior member" of the Dem-
oratic partnership.
Eisenhower called the Illinois
governor an exponent of "pussy-
footing" foreign policy and pre-
dicted that election day would see
the end of "seven years of Fail-
Deal misrule."
Referring to Lawrence West-
brook, a staff member of the Dem-
ocratic national committee fired
for involvement in a five-percenter
deal, Eisenhower said that "now I
hear that they have fired him."
He said that "the same informa-
tion on which they fired him was
in their hands when the hired him"
and asked, "How brazen can you
get?"
Eisenhower said four years ago

he was "besieged, publicly and
privately, by important members
of the administration party to ac-
cept the nomination for the presi-
dency on their ticket."
"In these past four years, I could
not possibly have changed so com-
pletely as to give real cause for
their shift from ardent coaxing to
violent condemnation."
He listed the primary issues of
the campaign as Korea, commu-
nism. corruption and prosperity
based on peace.
Eisenhower said the Democrats
had violently criticized his pro-
nouncements on the Korean con-
flict because "those of us who have
charged tha administration blind-
ness and vacillation helped bring
on the Korean war have been ab-
solutely right."
'Just An Accident'
He reaffirmed his promise to go
to Korea and said, "I am going for
an obvious reason: To find out for
myself what is being done there."
"I want to find out from those
on the spot what could be done to
improve our situation. . . I have no
magic military wand to bring that
war to an end. But I know that on
the spot 1 can learn something that
will be helpful in serving the Amer-
ican people in the cause of peace."
Eisenhower said the "extraordi-
nary" aspect of the communism-
in-government issue was that the
administration calls "everything
that has happened, every stolen
secret, eveiy disloyal official. . .
just an unfortunate, almost insig-
nificant, accident."
Houston Candidates
Must Live !n Town
HOUSTON, Nov. 1—UP—Hous-
ton's next mayor apparently is go-
ing to have to prove in court that
he lives in the city before he can
be elected.
That was the gist of a suit filed
here Thursday by Thomas J. Sto-
vall Jr., an election judge in pre-
cinct 179. 7
District Judge Roy Campbell set
hearing on Stovall's petition fo: 10
a.m. Monday, the day before elec-
tion.
Whether Roy Hofheinz and Louie
Welch meet the residential re-
wuirements for mayor has been
questioned although city attorney
Will Sears has said both appar-
ently met the qualifications.
Sears branded the suit a "pho-
ny" Friday and said he planned
to see if Stovall was the actual
plaintiff or if he was "fronting"
for one of the other two candi-
dates, Sam Johnson and W. Gail
Reeves.
Dixie Uee Crosby
Dies oi illness;
Was Former Star
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 1—UP—
Dixie Lee Crosby, 40-year-old wife
of crooner Bing Crosby, died at
10 a.m. Saturday in the family
home from what was described by
her surgeon as "a generalized
cancer condition."
The singer's wife had been "suf-
fering from a generalized cancer
condition which balked all attempts
at alleviation," Dr. Arnold Stevens
announced immediately following
Mrs. Crosby's death.
The word of the death of the one
time singing and dancing star
came from Paramount studio
where Crosby is a star.
Mrs. Crosby took a turn for the
worse Saturday and Paramount of-
ficials said earlier that "it looks
bad."
The crooner's wife suffered a re-
lapse last Sunday and since then
her condition became so critical
that her family was summoned to
her bedside,

tion took a turn for the worse, They
came to her bedside immediately.
Crosby, who was in France mak-
ing a movie when his wife under-
went the surgery, also hurried
home to be with her.
Mrs. Crosby was a musical com-
edy star in her own right when she
married the crooner Sept. 29, 1930.
At that time, the "groaner" was
just becoming popular. A few
years after the marriage, she re-
tired from the screen to raise their
growing family. The blonde for-
mer actress, whose real name was
Wilma Wyatt, would have been
41 years old Nov. 4
When Mrs. Crosby married the
gravel-voiced singer she overrode
opposition of friends who believed
she would achieve greater fame in
the entertainment world than he.
A movie producer told her at the
time that if she married "this Cros-
by character, you'll have to sup-
port him for the rest of your life."
Born IN Tennessee
She was born in Han-'man,
Tenn., Nov. 4, 1911. While she was
a child, her family moved to New
Orleans and later to Chicago. It
was in the latter city where the
pretty blonde broke into show bus-
iness and began her climb to
fame.
She appeared in her first movie,
"Movietone Follies," in 1928, and
later with roles in "Let's Go
Places," Why Leave Home" and
"Harmony at Home" in 1930,
"Manhattan Love Song" in 1934,
"Love in Bloom" in 1935 and "Red
Heads on Parade."
After her success singing the
"Varsity Drag" in the picture
"Good News," she was chosen
from among 50 applicants for the
"Movietone Follies."
It was then, while she was bound
for stardom on her own, that she
met Crosby who was singing with
a quartet known as the Rhythm
Boys at the Cocoanut Grove of the
Ambassador hotel in Hollywood.
Teenager Bandits
Give Up To Police
HOT SPRINGS, Ark.. Nov 1
—UP—Two teen-age Oklahoma
bandits were arrested without re-
sistance near here Thursday after
leading nolice on a wild highway
chase Wednesdav night in which
the stolen car the fugitives were
driving was riddled by shotgun
pellets.
The youths were identified as
John Thomas Fagan, 17, and James
Donald Ray, 16. both of Guthrie,
Okla.
Patrolmen Buddy Hogue and J.
B. Wall found the boys walking
unarmed along a country road be-
tween U.S. 70 and 270. They told
officers they had thrown away the
pistol with which they had beaten
a Mena service station and tourist
court operator Wednesday night
after robbing him of $14.
The robbery victim, G. B. Fa-
vorite, memorized the license num-
bers on the getaway car.
Montgomery Sheriff Wilbur Tid-
well set up a road block, but the
bandits drove through it into Gar-
land county. Five Hot Springs po-
lice cars entered the chase and
detective Chief Jerry Watkins rid-
dled the fugitive car with shotgun
pellets. The youths abandoned the
car, stolen at Fort Smith, and fled
into the woods.
Acheson to Retire
In Any, Event, Say
Friends of Family
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1—UP—
Secretary of State Dean Acheson
will step out of the No. 1 cabinet
post on Jan. 20 and return to pri-
vate law practice, his friends and
associates reported Saturday.
They said the secretary is look-
ing forward to Inauguration Day
when he will resign and that he
could not be persuaded to stay, re-
gardless of the outcome of the elec-
tion or any pressure that might be
put on him.
These intimates are so certain
of his plans that they are unable
to understand why there should be
any question whether he would be
available for further service. They
say that just "isn't in the cards."
Acheson, they said, is worn out
by four years of hard work. His
condition makes a vacation almost
mandatory. He later is expected
to return to his former Washington
law firm of Covington and Burling.
His son, David, is now employed
by this firm.
Sen. Richard M. Nixon, the Re-
publican vice presidential candi-
date, has directed much of his
campaign oratory against Ache-
son, demanding chiefly that the
secretary disclose his plans, and
especially whether he would serve
under Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson if
the Democratic presidential candi-
date is elected.
There is no definite answer as
to why Acheson has not definitely
ended speculation that he might
serve if asked. Some believe it is
"stubborn pride." Others believe
President Truman opposes any
such announcement. And there are
those who doubt Acheson really be-
lieves the question has any politi-
cal importance.
Meanwhile, there is no firm word
as to who Dwight D. Eisenhower
or Stevenson would pick as secre-
tary of state.
There has been considerable
speculation that Eisenhower would
select either New York Gov. Thom-
as E. Dewey or GOP foreign poli-

Fisherman Got His
Whale With Anchor
PREVENSEY BAY Eng., Nov.l
—UP—Vivian Gell, a 42-year-old
fisherman, was so annoyed at a
whale he picked up an anchor,
swung it around his head and let
fly. He caught the whale.
The whale had been damaging
fishing lines and Gell lost his tem-
per as the whale swam into shal-
low water and cavorted a tei
yards away.
He picked up the anchor, a
pound mudhook, and threw it td
scare the whale off. The aniraar
swallowed the anchor and Gell®e'
gan heaving on the 50-foot line.
Residents of nearby bun^jpws
rushed out and helped haul it in.
The animal, a two-ton whalebone
whale, was 14 feet long. It was f
reached finally by a wave.
