Barkley dinner Friday? If not,
please state reasons"
Judge Waring wired this reply:
II shall not attend the dinner
for the following reasons:
THE Barkley dinner appears to
be solely a political gathering of
such a controversial nature that
I do not believe it would be suit
able for a Federal judge to attend
But, furthermore, I had sup
posed when this meeting was first
announced that it would be an
Endorsement of the National Dem
ocratic Party and the platform on
which it based its national cam
'paign which resulted in the VIC
torious election of President Tru-
man and Vice President Barley
But now I see no mention of this
but only an effort of appeasement
and an attempt to invite back
into the party those who bolted
and fought it and continue to
fight the National party.
This political gathering ap-
pears to be an attempt to create q
hodge-podge of Dixiecrats anG
TrumaniteS It's purpose seems
to be appeasement only. I have
no sympathy with. nor do I wish
to be a party to, the sacrifice o1
principles for expediency."
The judges ruling opening the
party to Negroes had another echo
in arrangements for the dinner
John H. McCray, chairman of the
Progressive Democrats, Negro
wing of the party in the Stale
said Judge Warnings ruling made
Negroes an integral part of the
Democratic Party, and members o1
his race would stand on theil
rights to attend the dinner.
Mr.. Williams said earlier in thu
week. however. that none of tht
Progressives had sought tickets.

$50 British Miners Saved
From Flooded Pits
By the Associated Press

COLEFORD, England. July L.
Nearly $50 men were trapped for
hours in water up to their necks
when a deep coal mine was flooded
near here yesterday.
Only two casualties were re-
ported. One miner was in a serl-
GUS condition after being felled
by "black damp" gases Another
was severely scratched by a cat
he had rescued from the pit.
The miners struck into an old
and forgotten corridor and a tor
rent swept through the pit bot
tom. They struggled for seven
hours, stumbling and scrambling
blindly through old diggings and
were rescued through a ventilating
shaft two miles from where they
had started.

Harmony Dinner
BY the Assoeiofed Press

COLUMBIA, S. c., July l.
Vice President Barkley headed
for South Carolina today in an
open attempt to reunite the States
divided Democratic Party.
The Vice President, billed as
q peacemaker, will speak at a
Harmony Dinner" tonight. Spon-
sors of the $15-a-plate affair say
it is intended to help close the
gap between President Truman
and States Rights Democrats. .
But for more than a month, the
event has been charged with po-
litical discord in a State that
until last year was traditionally
solid for the National Democratic
Party.
Splitting over the thorny issue of
civil rights and other Truman pro-
posals, the State gave it's eight
electoral votes to Gov. j. Strom
Thurmond, the States Rights
presidential standard bearer.
A host of States Rights Demo-
Gratis, headed by Gov. Thurmond,
have refused to give the dinner
their blessing. Gov. Thurmond,
announcing fatty that he would
= stay away, said Vice President
Z Barkley is coming as a politician
and not as Vice President.
Dissention Emphasized.
None of the States six Con-
a gressmen has said that he would
attend.
The dissention among the po-
litical forces was reflected last
r night by State Senator w. P. Bas-
kin, chairman OF the States reg
ular" Democratic Party's Executive
Committee which supported Gov.
Thurmond in his presidential bid.
'1t is most unfortunate that
Vice President Barkley comes to
South Carolina on purely po-
litical MISSION" Mr.. Baskin de-
clared.
The will of the Democratic
State Convention held in May,
1948, directs that we accept no
compromise in our fight for States
Rights"
x An opposite view was taken by
former Gov. Ransome j. Williams,
a leader of the Truman Democrats
who arranged the dinner.
. Already" Mr.. Williams said
last night, Il can see heartening
progress toward our goal the
restoration of Harmony among
the Democrats of South Carolina.
Says Senators Will Attend.
Mr.. Williams said a group
of South Carolina Democrats,
headed by "our two United States
Senators, Burnet r. Maybank and
Olin D. Johnston" and including
State legislators, mayors and other
political leaders would be present.
Mr.. Williams said he would in
troduce the Vice President to his
South Carolina audience. DR.. w. L.
Pressly of Due West, Americas
family doctor of 1948," Wednes-
day refused an invitation to in
troduce the Vice President. i
The physician said he refused
the invitation because of political
agitation" surrounding the event.
In Charleston, Federal Judge j.
sWaties Waring said he would not
attend the dinner.
The jurist, whose decision last
year opened the party ranks to

graphed his stand to the Associ-
ated Press in answer to the query:

Ability After RallYing
From Slow Start

After a slow start which gave
the visiting Upper Sandusky
team a 9-1 lead in the first quart
er, Marysville's Monarchs caught
fire and soundly drubbed the
Rams 48-30 in the locals open
ing game here Tuesday night.
The Monarchs sputtered both
extensively and defensively in
the opening minutes and it look
ed for while as if it were going
to be a long evening.
Upper scored seven quick
points on goals by Kolteman,
Long, Leightey, and a free throw
by Kolteman as they took a 10
lead. Marysville scored then on a
free throw by Bill Boyd and it
was IL. Upper added another
basket by Leightey and then Bud
Hoffman scored for Marysville
and the Monarchs began to pull
up.
l2-ll First Quarter
By the end of the first period,
Marysville held slim 1911 lead.
From there on in il was just a
matter of by what margin Marys-
vile would win. The visiting
Rams scored only four points in
the second period, free throws
by Messmer and Kolteman, and a
goal by Leightey accounting for
them.
Marysville in turn hit for IL
points as Bud Hoffman scored
four baskets, all of them the re-
suit of good floor play. Hoff-
mans shooting was one of the
outstanding points of the game.
Bill Boyd added basket and
Charles McCracken free throw
to complete the second period
scoring. Marysville led 23-15 as
the teams left the floor at half
time.
Second-Half Scoring
Again in the third period
Marysville's fine defensive play
held the opponents to one bas-
ket and three foul shots. Mason
scored the basket and two of the
fouls while Leightey added the
other point. Boyd paced Marys-
vile with two baskets and three
foul shots while Charles Nc
Craken got two baskets and a
free throw. The Monarchs were
soundly ahead $500 as the fourth
/ quarter began.
Coach Warren Widner used
substitutes freely in the final
period but still Upper could not
match Marysville's scoring.
Smedley Hendricks, subbing at
center for McCracken, scored
two goals and played very good
game. The other subs, especially
Loren Grimes, also played good
floor games.
Al-Around Play Good
Other features of the game, be-
sides Hoffman'S shooting and
floor play, were the ball hand
ling of Bill Boyd and the general
floor play of Charles McCracken.
Both guards, Bill Worthington
and John Evans, were steady
floor players. Worthington help
