It's Not 1928,
Sen. Kennedy
Says in N.Y.
Demos Draw
Huge Crowd
ALBANY, N. Y. (ff) —“This is
not 1928,” Sen. John F. Kennedy
told a huge rally today from the
steps of New York State’s Capi-
tol, which once was occupied by
Alfred E. Smith.
Smith, the only Roman Catholic
before Kennedy to run for the
presidency, lost in 1928 to Repub-
lican Herbert Hoover.
Kennedy, however, made no ref-
erence to religion in his talk, one
of many in the Democratic nom-
inee’s two-day foray for New
York’s 45 electoral votes, the
largest bloc in the nation.
Thousands in the gathering in-
cluded state workers and em-
ployes of Albany’s Democratic
city administration.
Republican Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller, who was not in Al-
bany today, had authorized state
workers to attend the rally.
Kennedy leaned heavily on ref-
erences to the state’s political
history and its more famous gov-
ernors—Smith and Theodore and
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Otherwise, the Democratic nom-
inee repeated the basic theme of
his campaign—that the United
States has declined in world lead-
ership under the Republicans and
must begin to move ahead.
After his talk, Kennedy head-
ed in a motorcade for Syracuse,
with several brief stops along the
135-mile route in heavily Repub
lican territory.
Kennedy began his New York
tour in the Buffalo and Rochester
areas Wednesday. It will end in
Syracuse around midnight and he
then will fly to his home at Hyan
nis Port, Mass., for a day of rest
before going to Chicago Saturday
In remarks prepared for a rally
at Amsterdam, Kennedy said the
city was typical of older Ameri-
can communities suffering from

Heckled by Khrushchev
Macmillan Urges Calm Approach
To Big Problem of Disarmament
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. iff)—
Britain’s Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan urged the United Na-
tions today to make a new, rea-
soned start on disarmament.
Soviet Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev heckled and interrupted
the Briton in angry, shouted dem-
onstrations of protest.
The Soviet premier leaped to,
his feet, scowling as the British
leader discussed the problem of
controls for a disarmament pro-
gram.
“We are always in favor of con-
trols of disarmament,” Khu-
shchev shouted in Russian, and
the assembly president, Frederick
H. Boland of Ireland, gaveled
him down. Macmillan interrpted
his speech to remark he wanted
had said.
A short time before, Macmillan
was discussing the blowup of the
Paris summit meeting last May,
Khrushchev waggled a finger at
the speaker and exclaimed:
‘Don’t commit aggression.”
Khrushchev evidently referred
to his contention that the Ameri-
can U2 plane incident caused the
Paris explosion.
When Macmillan defended the
office of Secretary-General Dag
Hammarskjold against a Khru-
shchev proposed to eliminate it,
Khrushchev led his Communist
bloc delegations in a new demon-
stration of table-thumping. The
Soviet premier was visibly out-
raged.
Macmillan was presenting

tion toward an arms agreement
The British leader, ranking
Western statesman on hand for
the U.N. General Assembly, won
an ovation with a defense of
Secretary-General Dag Hammar
skjold, whose office is under So
viet attack.
And at this point Khrushchev
led his bloc in the table-thump-
ing smiling momentarily but the
most part scowling angrily. A
similar table - thumping demon-
stration and greeted a Hammar-
skjold address Monday.
When Macmillan raised a point
about the breakup of the Paris
summit conference last May,
Khrushchev waggled a finger at
the speaker and shouted some-
'Socialite' Upsets
Rhode Island Vote
PROVIDENCE, R. I. iff) — So-
cialite-businessman Claiborne de
Borda Pell of Newport bowed
into Rhode Island politics with
a bang Wednesday night, trounc-
ing two seasoned campaigners to
win the Democratic nomination
for U.S. Senate.
In his first bid for elective of-
fice, Pell, 41, was nominated to
succeed Sen. Theodore Francis
Green, 92, who is not seeking re-
election.
He upset two former governors
driving for political comebacks.
Pell polled 83,184 votes to 45,196
for four-time Gov. Dennis J. Ro-
berts, who had the backing of
the Democratic State Committee.
J. Howard McGrath, who served
as governor, U.S. senator, U.S.
attorney general and Democratic
national chairman, was far be-
hind. McGrath got only 7,525
votes, despite a television-radio
address by former President Har-
ry S. Truman in his behalf.

Governors Pick Schools
• As Rights Battleground
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (ff) —South-
ern governors have chosen the
classroom itself for a new bat-
tleground over segregation and
states rights.
They adopted a resolution, at
the closing session of their confer-
ence Wednesday calling for the
teaching of the Constitution and
its principles in, the schools to
“counter federal invasion of states
rights.”
Gov. J. Lindsay Almond of Vir-
ginia, retiring conference chair-
man, brought up the almost-taboo
conference subject. He called on
David J. Mays of Richmond,
chairman of the Virginia Commis-
sion on Constitutional Govern-
ment.
Mays told the governors that
education was the only dignified
way to fight for states rights. He
said Virginia taught constitutional
law in its grade and high schools
to “black and white alike.”
Conference officials said it was
the first time integration had been
brought up at the conference since
the Little Rock controversy in
1957. Then the conference named
a committee to confer with Gov.
Orval E. Faubus and President
Eisenhower on the possibility of
withdrawing federal troops from
Central High School there.
Both Almond and Gov. Luther
H. Hodges of North Carolina said
the educational program should
be carried on at a national level.
Hodges said states rights was a
matter of concern for all states.
The governors elected Gov.
Price Daniel of Texas as their
new chairman and Gov. Ernest
Vandiver of Georgia as vice chair-
man. They decided to meet in,
Tennessee next year, probably at
Gatlinburg.
Gov. Ross R. Barnett of Missis-
sippi said the way to curb “irre-
sponsible and revolutionary deci-
sions” of the Supreme Court was
to crystallize public opinion. Then
he said Congress would stop it.
Daniel in accepting his post said
that if the governors stood togeth-
er they could influence Congress
to change Supreme Court deci-
sions just as they had done in
insurance, tidelands and other
matters.
The governors supporting Sen.
John F. Kennedy for president
spent a lot of their time at news
conferences whipping up enthusi-
asm for their candidate.
the U.S. ambassador to Mexico,
says.
Hill, accepting an honorary de
gree of doctor of humane letters
from the University of Dallas,
threw away a prepared speech
Wednesday and lashed out at
“those Americans who have be
come ashamed of their past and
afraid of the present.”
Hill neither called names nor
cited instances.
“But here in the Southwest
there are still people who believe
in the Bill of Rights and the Con-
stitution,” he said.
The ambassador said the Unit-
ed States is not in jeopardy “for
there are still states that are
proud of the Republic. They will
drive the fuzzy-headed thinkers
from positions of power.” He did
not elaborate.
Hill told the Founders Day cere-
mony he was glad to be in Dal-
las “and out of New York so I
wouldn’t have to witness any
more nauseating extravaganza of
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush-
chev and his fellow gangsters
parading around the United' Na-
tions and New York City.”
“It was sickening to see him
(Khrushchev) performing. But his
antics should awaken the Ameri-
can people to the dangers that
lie ahead, to the fact that Khrush-
chev and the other gangsters are
here for propaganda purposes
only,” he continued.
He expressed the desire that
Khrushchev’s “show” would
awaken the world’s neutral na-
tions and newly created' states to
the threat of communism.

Chief of Polcie A. O. “Pete”
Schier said Herring admitted the
shooting after a lie detector test
in Austin showed that Herring
was lying when he denied the
shooting. He had agreed to take
the lie detector test.
Herring was picked up Sunday
morning by a city police as their
main suspect after it was learned
that he was carrying a .25 auto-
matic Saturday night before the
shooting took place at the crowd-
ed Blue Swan located in the 190

between the two. The slug from
Dears’ .38 caliber revolver hit
Washington in the left arm.
Herring waived examining trial
in Judge Lucille Burnap’s Jus-
tice Court and bond was set at
$1,500 in the case. He was to be
transferred to the county jail in
Georgetown toway after he failed
to make bond.
Chief Schier also reported that
his department located a radio
stolen in July from a room at the
Blazilmar hotel. No charges were
filed in the misdemeanor since
the person that stole the radio
is out-of-town. The radio had
been sold in Taylor.
Police also recovered a stolen
Skelly Oil Company credit card.
It was in the possession of a
Houston man who was picked up
on a local traffic violation. The
card had been stolen in 1958 in
Lockwood, Mo., and had been
used intermittently since that
time.

Bonfire Goes Off
Ahead of Time
Taylor High School cheerlead-
ers and Green Jackets today,
broadcast an appeal for boxes
and other combustible materials
after their bonfire burned to the
ground Wednesday night a day
ahead of the scheduled pep rally
at 7 o’clock tonight.
“They’re getting what seems
like a million calls,” Principal
Howard' Oliphint said. “Students
will gather up materials after
school for the bonfire.”
The fire department sent a
truck to the site in City Park
across from Smith Motor Co. and
wet down the area after the
pile burned down.
The bonfire was labeled as a
“Beat Rockdale” bonfire because

New England
Greets Nixon
EN ROUTE WITH NIXON (ff)
— Vice President Richard M.
Nixon brought his campaign into
New England today and' told a
crowd at, Burlington, Vt., they
should “not think of the party la-
bel but think of the country
first.”
The Republican presidential
nominee arrived at Burlington
Airport from New York accom-
panied by his wife, Pat. He told
a crowd estimated at 3,000 at the
airport he hoped they would con-
tinue to vote Republican in the
election.
Vermont has been a Republi-
can stronghold for a century or
more.
Later before a packed crowd' of!
2,000 at Memorial Auditorium in
Burlington, Nixon asked the
people to judge between the Re-
publican and Democratic teams
and to decide which they feel can
best keep the peace without sur-
render and extend freedom
throughout the world.
He said both he and' vice-presi-
dential candidate Henry Cabot
Lodge had worked with President
Eisenhower and added that al-
though many say the country has
lost prestige and slipped diplo-
matically “they can’t obscure the
results.”
He said that on the basis of
qualifications there is no man who
has more experience “fighting for
freedom than Lodge.”
Speeches in. Burlington, Vt., and
in Manchester, N.H., were to pre-
cede a major address tonight at
a $100-a-plate Republican fund-
raising dinner in Boston, seat of
the political power of Sen. John
F. Kennedy.
Nixon’s Boston speech, like one
from Chicago by President Eisen-
hower, will be carried by closed-
circuit television to party fund-
raising banquets across the coun-
try.
Sparce crowds welcomed Nixon
in the New York City Borough
of Queens Wednesday in his quest
for New York’s big block of 45
electoral votes, but in Nassau and
Suffolk counties on Long Island
it was a different story.
The day was climaxed at Com
mack by one of the biggest,
noisiest receptions of his cam-
paign.
Upwards of 9,000 screaming,
yelling partisans whooped it up
for Nixon in the Long Island
Arena, while more than 3,000
vainly sought admission.
An ovation that lasted 6% min-
utes follwed the introduction of
Nixon and his wife Pat.
He had told his audiences in
Queens that he intends to cam-
paign New York “as it has never
been campaigned before.”
To the enthusiasts in the Arena,
he said, “It isn’t the last time
I’m coming to Suffolk County

Lodge, Shivers Rub
Political Wounds Raw
By RAYMOND HOLBROOK
Associated Press Staff Writer
Old political wounds—both Dem-
ocratic and Republican—'were rub-
bed raw in Texas Wednesday as
Henry Cabot Lodge made a fly-
ing trip through the state and
former Gov. Allan Shivers endor-
sed the GOP national, ticket.
Lodge, the Republican vice-
presidential candidate, was given
rousing receptions at San Antonio,
Midland-Odessa, and El Paso, but
all of the GOP faithful were not
in attendance.
Mrs. Eisenhower's
Mother is Dead
DENVER, Colo, (ff) — Elivera
Doud, 82, mother of Mrs. Dwight
D. Eisenhower, died early today
in her sleep at her home here.
She had been ill for some time.
Mrs. Doud died at the family
home at 750 Lafayette St.
The President and Mrs. Eisen-
hower last visited Mrs. Doud here
July 27-31.
No closer and more public re-
lationship between a president
and his mother-in-law probably
existed than that between Mrs.
Doud and Eisenhower.
She lived at the White House,
and was the first mother-in-law
ever to accompany a presidential
candidate on his campaign train,.
When Eisenhower took office
early in 1952, Mrs. Doud, then 73,
was asked about the possibility
of living at 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave.
“I don’t know about living in
the White House,” she said. “But
I think Mamie would be happier
if she can keep an eye on me.
She’s a worrier, and she won’t
worry about me if I’m right
there. I take a lot of tumbles—I
haven’t a very good sense of bal-
ance—and both my girls are
afraid about my falls.”
The President referred to his
mother-in-law as “Min”, an ex-
pressoin that Mrs. Doud’s young-
est daughter had taken from the
comic strip character “Andy
Gump.”
Mrs. Doud’s youngest daughter,
Frances, is Mrs. Gordon Moore
of Washington, D.C., who was
here with her mother. m
While bands played and Lodge
placed' a floral wreath at the
spot where the Alamo heroes
died, a group of 100 ultra-conser-
vative Republicans held a protest
meeting at a San Antonio dinner
club because, they said, Lodge
helped sidetrack the presidential
nomination of the late Sen. Rob-
ert Taft of Ohio at the 1952
cpnvention.
Shivers, who bolted the Demo-
cratic party to support Dwight
D. Eisenhower and Richard M.
Nixon in both 1952 and 1956, made
it three in a row Wednesday
night when, in an address car-
ried by 27 Texas TV stations, he
announced the formation of a
“Democrats for Nixon and Lodge”
organization.
Blasting the Democratic nation-
al platform as advocating and
promising “socialistic measures
that Socialist Norman Thomas
never dreamed of,” Shivers de-
lighted his partisan crowd: of 300
as he took verbal jabs at Demo-
cratic presidential nominee John
F. Kennedy and his old political
foe, Texas Sen. Lyndon B. John-
son, the Democratic vice-presiden-
tial nominee.
Shivers raid that he had no de-
sire to resume his feud with John-
son but that he felt the Democra-
tic vice-presidential candidate is
a “creature of tfre party, a cap-
tive of the liberal wing, a partic-
ipant—willing or not—in, a cynical,
calculating attempt to throw a
cloak of Southern conservatism

Congo Counci I
Is Recognized
LEOPOLDVILLE, the Congo (ff)
—President Joseph Kasavubu to-
day formally recognized Col. Jo-
seph Mobutu’s council of govern-
ment commissioners as the pro-
vincial government of the Congo.
Kasavubu officially installed the
group of 27 college-graduate tech-
nicians set up by Mobutu, the
army chief of staff, after his
bloodless coup d’etat two weeks
ago against the infant African re-
public’s warring politicians.
Kasavubu’s action—if it sticks
—reduces the declared govern-
ments of the Congo from three to
two.
Khrushchev
Meets With
Macmillan
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Fidel Castro made clear at a
welcome home celebration Wed-
nesday night that a legal show-
down is coming over the U.S.
naval base at Guantanamo. The
homecoming was interrupted by
two bomb explosions that did no
damage.
Within three hours after return-
ing from the U.N. General Assem-
bly session in New York, the
prime minister was renewing his
threats against the naval installa-
tion and flailing away at the
United States as “the most ag-
gressive, most warmongering and
most stupid of imperialisms.”
The first bomb exploded in Za-
yas Park behind the Presidential
Palace about an hour after Cas-
tro started his 2%-hour balcony
speech to a crowd of about 150,-
000 massed in front of the pal-
ace. The second went off 40 min-
utes later at the same place.
Militiamen seized a man ac-
cused of throwing the first bomb
and hurried him away as the fur-
ious crowd shouted “paredon, —
To the execution wall.”
Castro dismissed, the explosions
as the “little bombs of imperial-
ism,” but announced the govern-
ment would establish a system of
revolutionary posses who will
know who lives in each block
and what he does and what rela-
tions he had with tyranny and
to what he devotes himself and
with whom he meets.”
Nikita S. Khrushchev meets to-
day with British Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan amid signs he
intends to stay on, another week
as communism's star performer
at the United Nations.
His talk with Macmillan marks
the first summit level East-West
discussions since mid-May when
the Paris summit parley blew up
in an angry dipute over the U2
plane incident.
Ten days after arriving, Khru-
shchev gives no evidence of run-
ning out of steam in his furious
one-man campaign of denuncia-
tions and sweet talk.
In between trips to the U. N.
to lead the Soviet delegation, he
has conferred privately with 10

Farm Road
Is Designated
In Williamson
The State Highway Department
has proposed to construct a $121,-
300 farm to market road north of
Georgetown if the county will fur-
nish all required right of way
clear of obstructions and free of
cost to the state.
District Engineer Ed Bluestein
said the 5.6-mile stretch of road
extending from U.S. Highway 81
north of Georgetown northeast
to county road. .8 of a mile north
of Weir “is a part of a rather
long section of important county
road that some of you have
sought for quite a while.”
Said Bluestein in a letter to the
county court, “This order desig-
nating the farm to market road
is subject to acceptance by the
county and if not accepted within
90 days the action shall be auto-
matically cancelled.
“At such time as the county
shall accept the provision of this
order and agree to the furnishing
of the required right of way, the
state highway engineer is direct-
ed to proceed with the engineer-
ing development and construc-
tion of the project in the most
feasible and' economical manner,
at an estimated cost of $121,300,
and to assume the road for state
maintenance upon completion of
the construction herein author-
ized.”
