Arkansas Veterans
Warn Elections Must
Be Honest or Else
BY the Associoted Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. To-
The November general election
must be honest or else" World War
II veterans warned today as they
made plans to oppose what they
called political machines" in two
counties.
While veterans met in Yell County
to makes plans for running their
own slate of independent candidates
in November, another meeting in
Independence County asked for a
recount of ballots in the July 30
preferential primary.
And in Hot Spring County, an ex-
CT candidate for sheriff advertised,
IF there are any irregularities lin
the electiom the Tennessee incident
will be mild in comparison with
what will happen here"
Refers to Athens Riot.
He referred to the election night
riot at Athens, Tenn, where veter-
ans fought a six-hour battle with
sheriff's deputies over possession of
ballot boxes.
The veteran candidate, William
Weaver, charged in a political ad-
vertiSement that the county clerk
was custodian" of the ballot boxes
in Hot Spring County.
More than 1000 veterans voted at
a political rally at Danville, in Yell
County, to oppose Democratic party
nominees at the general election
with a full slate OF independent vet
eran candidates.
The group attacked Chancery
Judges j. E. Chambers Yell County
organization, with one veteran lead
er asserting, mo one remembers
when Judge Chambers first was
elected"
The chancery judge denied that a
machine existed in the county,
which has been known for three
decades as "the Free State of Yell
The slate of veterans to run
against the nominees in November
Will be announced at a second rally
in DanVille in two weeks.
Demand Ballot Recount.
Independence County veterans
gathered at Batesville and de-
manded recount of the entire July
80 preferential primary vote from
duplicate ballots.
Earlier they had won a fight to
have the name of Norman Gray, a
veteran, placed on the ballot as a
candidate for county treasurer
against incumbent Ernest Stroud.
Speakers charged that a recheck
of just seven ballot boxes produced
enough evidence of tampering to
warrant recount of all the votes.
A recheck yesterday of seven boxes
revealed discrepancy of 81 votes.
This gave the veteran treasurer
candidate enough votes to enter the
runoff in next Tuesdays primary
with Mr.. Stroud, who had been
certified by the Independence
County Democratic Central Com
mittee as the nominee.

of another date, when the question
was one of voting adequate funds
for the operation of the Rural Elec-
trifca ton Administration. And SO
with other issues. Among the most
familiar tricks of the weasling Con-
gresham is that of voting for
amendments designed to cripple a
good measure and then voting for
the measure itself, just to keep his
record clear. A publication such as
Senator Taylor proposes would make
this trick little more difficult to
perform.
It would take more than fervid,
red-faced oratory to overcome the
following record of a Congressman,
who shall be nameless, but who Is
not at all unique:
He voted against the extension Of
reciprocal trade agreements, de-
signed to open up new markets for
American business and industry.
He voted against lease-lend.
Against selectiVe service and the
extension of selective service.
Opposed Parity Payments.
Against the continuation of the
Commodity Credit Corp, against
parity payments, against the 1910
Agric Appropriation Act,
against extending Federal crop in
surance. against increased rural
electrihcation and against the soil
conservation program.
For the Smith -Connally Act: for
the Case bill and to pass the Case
bill over the Presidents veto.
Against price control, in most
forms; against its extension in 1945,
and for the Wolcott amendment to
the OPA bill in 1916.
For the liquidation of HOLC,
which was completing in an orderly
fashion the rescue of hundreds of
thousands of American honleown-

Against the Federal ballot for SOL

Now maybe you would have voted
the same way. Maybe you approve
the record of this Congressman.
Maybe you would approve of your
Congressman's record, if you had
it to study. For a small price per
copy Congress could print and dis
tribute such record and it would
be worth the price to every voter
in the land.

LA Guardia Threatens
Showdown on Austrian
Oil Seizure by Reds
BY the ASsociuted Press

GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 10
Director General F.. H. La Guardia
OF the UNRRA told a news confer
ence yesterday that if the Russians
were seizing Austrian Oil and food
in their zone he would invoke my
powers and take it up with the
proper ;evels."
Asked what the director generals
powers were. he said they extend
to the limits of his courage"
Mr.. La Guardias statements were
in the nature of reply to the Rus
sian delegate, M. I. Fenov, who
earlier in an address to the fifth
meeting of UNRRA had taken ex-
ception to Mr.. La Guardia's quar-
terly report and expressed deep
regret that the problems which be-
long to other international organiza-
tions have been raised here"
Mr.. La Guardia had declared in
his report that he would not be
"hushed' about the Russians re-
ported taking of Austrian oil, which
he said was inconsistent with the
laws and regulations of UNRRA.
Korea Discrimination Charged.
He also had mentioned reported
Russian food requisitions in their
Austrian zone, also contrary to
UNRRA regulations calling for in
digenous resources to be used for
the home population.
Besides accusing American lead
ers of attempting to inject politics
into the UNRRA meeting, Mr..
Fenov criticized phases of UNRRA's
relief and repatriation work, and i'm
piled that Korea had been discrimi-
mated against while supplies were
going to Austria, Italy and other
countries.
Mr.. Fenov said the Russians had
asked UNRRA to do something in
Korea besides investigate, but were
told nothing was available for
He said there had not been
ANY considerable progress" in re-
of displaced persons in
Europe, due largely to the insult
ability of some of the UNRRA staff"
At his news conference Mr.. La
Guardia said no supplies were ship
ped to Korea because 1--WE wanted
Korea treated as one country, mind
you not as two, so that UNRRA
supplies and food could
move freely" between the American
and Russian zones.

u. N. Appeals to La Guordio
Not to Slash UNRRA Staff

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 R.-The
United Nations yesterday appealed
directly to Fiprello H. La Guardia,
director-general of UNRRA, to with
hold slashing the agency's staff in
keeping with his recommendation
that liquidation of the vast agency
begin october l.
Arkady A. Sobolev, acting secre-
tary general of the U. NJ, urged Mr..
La Guardia to make a public state
ment declaring that qualified
UNRRA pers n n el undoubtedly
would be taken over by the Interna-
tional Relief Organization, a U. N.
affiliate, and potential successor to
UNRRA.
Mr.. Sobolev said the IRO would
need more than 1890 persons to
carry on refugee work after Janu-
ary / and estimated the new unit
would have to care for at least 8O0,-
900 refugees and displaced persons.
This would mean approximately
100, 600 more than the total handled
by UNRRA.
UNRRA's supply operations are
scheduled to erd in Europe by Janu-
! ary l and in the Orient three months

Krug Says U. 5. Will Feel
Oil Supply Scarcity First
BY the Associated Press

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. TO-
Oil will be scarce in the United
States long before there is a COM
parable scarcity in other important
producing areas" Secretary of the
Interior Krug predicted today.
This will come about, he said, be-
cause while the United States has
about one-sixth of the worlds re-
sources, it is producing and using
about two-thirds of the worlds oil.
Secretary Krug, in addressing the
quarterly meeting of the Interstate
Oil Compact Commission, said ex-
pert opinion is that I'VE have about
reached the halfway mark in oil
discovery in the United States.
Finding the second half will take
much longer, be much more difficult
and far more COSTLY" he commented.
