Warren Urges Unity
On Foreign Policy,
Hits 'Ex-Statesmeni

EN- ROUTE TO CINCINNATI
WITH WARREN. Sept. 23-Gov
Warren today carried his plea for
a true bipartisan foreign policy"
to Ohio, the 18th State he has
visited since he started his Repub-
lican vice-presidential campaign in
California a week ago.
The California Governor last
night told an estimated crowd of
5000 at Memorial Auditorium in
Louisville, that the bipartisan for
eign policy is two-way street.
He assailed what he called sensa-
tional magazine exposes and best
sellers on secret foreign policy deals
by "exstatesmen."
He is to make a rear platform
address at Cincinnati today and
they will go to Columbus, where
he is to speak tonight. The train
will stop at Springfield, Ohio, en-
route to Columbus.
Attacks Policies of statesmen"
Levelling an attack on those
statesmen" who he said had COM
mercialized official foreign secret"
dealings in best sellers, Gov. War;
rem told his Louisville audience he
thought it was about time Ito put
an end to the practice of hiding
away. or carting away, the records
of what went on at vital confer
ences."
I'm wondering he said, why We
have to wait until some ex-states-
man writes a sensational article
and gets we'll paid for it."
Gov. Warren said American BIZ
partisan foreign policy was con-
ceived four years ago by Gov. Dewey
as titular head of the Republican
Party. Since then, he added, it has
been led by Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, the Senate's Republican
spokesman on foreign affairs.
Promises to Continue Approach.
For the first time in our history"
he continued, I'VE have begun to
formulate an American foreign pol
icy that will be effective because it
has the backing of both great
parties
He promised that such BIZ
partisan approach to foreign affairs
will continue if the Republicans win
in November.
Gov. Warren said the Republican
Party is more unified than at any
time in its history and added that
a spirit of unity among the Amer
lean people is what we must work
for today as never before"
His audience stood and applauded
his concluding assertion that Gov.
Dewey will be the next President of
the United States.

Suit 10 Recover 81
Paid for Broken Liqhi
Al School Is Dismissed
By Colt HendIey. Jr.

A suit to recover 81 from school
ofhcials-s2 paid to the principal OF
the Burroughs Elementary School
by a parent whose son had broken
a light-has been dismissed in the
small claims division of Municipal
Court
Judge Frank H. Myers threw the
case out last night on the ground
that public officials cannot be held
liable in civil suit brought by citi-
zen who feels agrieved by an action
taken in performance Of public du-
ties. The dismissal also was based
on the contention that top school
officials cannot be held liable per-
sonally for the actions of a subor-
dinate.
The suit was filed by Mrs. jean
cite McCray, zoos Lawrence street
NE, through Attorney Franklin r.
Miles. Named as defendants were
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
and Mrs, Henry Grattan Doyle,
president of the Board of Educa-
ton.
Four Boys involved.
Both Mr.. Miles and Assistant
Corporation Counsel Milton Kor-
man, who defended the school off,
Gals, agreed on the basic facts of
the case. They were:
Last June Mrs. McCray's son
Buck and three other boys broke a
light fixture in the school while
playing ball in the hallway, The
boys told the principal. who sug-
gested they pay for the light. Each
boy brought 81.
Mr.. Norman said Mrs. McCray
and the school principal, Miss Marie
A. Turner, got into an argument
about a receipt and that an alterca-
ton resulted in which blows were
struck.
Mr.. Miles contended DR.. Corning
and Mrs. Doyle were guilty of mis-
feasance in condoning the action
of the principal in taking the 50.
He maintained the principal was
not legally authorized to accept the
from Mrs. McCray and the
other parents.
Judge Questions Lawyer.
Judge Myers kept asking Mr..
Miles what he thought DR.. Corning
and Mrs. Doyle should have done,
the lawyer answered each time that
the School Board and DR.. Corning
should have taken some action to
clear up the procedure in such cases
to avoid such cases.
Mr.. Miles could produce no refu-
tation of Mr.. Korman's contentious
that the top. school officials are not
personally liable in a civil suit for
their actions and were not liable
personally for the actions of sub
ordinates.
Whether the principal had the
right to collect the money was not
discussed further. Judge Myers did
make reference to the action, how
ever. as "salutary if not legal"
Mrs. Doyle did not appear in
court because she was out 7of town.
Besides DR.. Corning, G. Melvin
Sharpe, vice president of the school
board, and six other school officials
were present, all called as possible
witnesses in the case.

Legislature Takes Up
Bill 10 Put Truman
On Louisiana Ballot
BY the Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. %
States Rights Democratic sympa-
thizers manned the defenses today
as Gov. Earl K. Longs supporters
in the Louisiana Legislature drove
toward placing President Truman's
name on the ballot.
A bill to give Mr.. Truman chance
at the States 10 electoral votes in
the November general election was
introduced last night in the brief
opening meeting of hurriedly called
special session.
w. H. (Eva) Talbot, Democratic
national committeeman and one
time campaign manager for Gov.
Long, Immediately declared his
opposition. He accused Mr.. Truman
OF lighting a cold civil war against
the South"
Perez Studies Proposal.
The States Fighters, he added,
are out to take control of the Ma
tional Democratic Executive Com
mittee and of the Democratic dele
cations in Congress.
Leander Perez, South Louisiana
political leader who led the move
in the Democratic State Central
Committee to pledge the Louisiana
party to the States Rights candi-
dates instead of Mr.. Truman and
Senator Barley, said he was study
ing the proposal and indicated he
objected to a provision that the ma
tional committee might qualify can
didates in Louisiana.
The measure would allow any ma
tional party committee or 100 quail
fled voters to place presidential and
vice presidential candidates on the
ballot upon certification of slate OF
electors to the Secretary of State.
Denied Use of Symbol.
The word national would pre-
cede the name of the party on the
ballot. In Mr.. Humans instance
he could be qualified as the Ma
tional Democratic Party" nominee.
But he would be denied use of the
traditional rooster symbol of the
Louisiana Democratic Party. Some
legislators speculated the donkey,
used in many other States, would
be chosen. Names of candidates
could be submitted until the secre-
tary of State ordered the ballots
printed.
The special session followed ac-
ton September 10 by the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, de-
claring the States rights candi-
dates-Gov. j. Strom Thurmond OF
South Carolina and Fielding l..
Wright of Mississippi-the Louisi-
ana Democratic nominees. Mr.. Tru-
man was thus eliminated from the
ballot, and only special session OF
the Legislature amending election
laws could restore him.
