torium, which seats 621, to listen
to the fireworks. They had waited
well into the afternoon for the
verbal contest, and they cheered
and booed according to their
personal preferences. Senator
Johnston had the greater ap-
|plause.
1t was shirt-sleeved audience
the heat was intense and an
elderly woman had to be escorted
from the hall under doctors
care before the debate began.
And when Gov. Thurmond and
Senator Johnston appeared on the
platform they were without their
coats. too. They took seats close
together, but ignored each other.
Under the rules Of these joint
meetings, each was given a half
hour. and each five minutes for
rebuttal. Gov. Thurmond was the
first speaker.
II see some of the same hecklers
here that greeted me in the
Piedmont section. But I don't
mind the heckling." he began.
He launched into recital of his
record as Governor and then got
around to declaring his support of
the Marshall Plan for aid to West
ern Europe. and pointed out that

York Post Home News in 1948.
urging Gov. HASTE and his wife
to visit Gov. Thurmond at the
Governors mansion.
Senator Johnston's supporters
cheered and howled over this.
This was in Senator Johnston's s
rebuttal.
Gov. Thurmond's campaign
headquarters today issued a state
ment refuting the charge.
It explained that after returning
from the Governors conference in
Salt Lake City in 1947, Gov. Thur
mond had directed a form letter
be sent to the absent Governors
expressing regret over their in
ability to be present, and an in
vitation to visit him when in South
Carolina at the Governors House.
Blames Office Clerk.
"a clerk in my Office" said Gov.
Thurmond, "sent the letter to all
the Governors who were absent,
including Gov. HASTE of the Virgin
Islands. The clerk did not know
that Harry Truman. in his all-out
bid for the Negro vote. had gone so
far as to take the unprecedented
action Of appointing a Negro Gov
ernor of the Virgin Islands.
Gov. HASTE knows that neither
he nor any other Negro will ever
be a guest at the Governors House
in Columbia as long as I am Gov
ernor, or as long as the Demo-
cratic Party of South Carolina
continues to elect the Governors of
my State"
This statement is identical with
one made by Gov. Thurmond in
1948 after his letter to Gov. HASTE
had first been published.
Gov. Thurmond earlier had
charged that the PAC-CIO was
working for Senator Johnston's
election and that the organiza-
tion was a strong supporter of
the civil rights program. Senator
Johnston. for his part said he
had always been a supporter of
organized labor and the little
man."
Replying to Gov. Thurmond's
charge that he had met President
Truman after his election at the
Union Station In Washington,
Senator Johnston said:
IT met President Truman and
I have no apologies to make"
Evening star., 1950-07-05

Senator Johnston had voted in
the Senate against the plan.
Takes His Stand
"I take my stand with Byrnes
and Marshall and Eisenhower"
said Gov. Thurmond. 1--WE have
been winning the cold war with
that program and without the
Marshall plan we'd have been in
a hot war.
But President Truman called
on the Army and the Navy to
end segregation. Any President
who would do that is not worthy
to be President of the United
States. And now. in Korea. our
boys and girls will be forced to
serve with Negroes in the same
outfits.
''He calls us Dixiecrats. I am
proud to have been the States
Rights candidate. My only re-
gret is that we were not able to
prevent that abominable man from
being President of the United
States"
Declaring that Senator Johns
ton in 1948 refused to take stand
in the presidential race, Gov.
Thurmond said that after Mr..
Truman had been elected and re-
turned to Washington my op-
ponent rushed up to the Presi-
dent, pushed admirals and gen.
erals out of the way to get to him
with outstretched hands and said,
Here I am. look at me, Olin|
Johnston"

Johnston"
Says He Had no Choice.
Turning to Senator Johnston's s
charge that he. Gov. Thurmond,
had appointed a Negro physician
to the Hospital Advisory Commits
sion Of the State, the Governor de-
clared he had made the appoint
ment on recommendation Of the
medical association and under the
law he had no choice.
"Yet my opponent tries to make
the people believe I picked out a
Negro for this Office" continued
Gov. Thurmond. Pointing a long
arm at Senator Johnston. the
Governor said:
"I want you to catch that. too.
you have tried to deceive the
voters. Any man who would do
that Is not worthy to be United
States Senator from South Caro-
lima"
Gov. Thurmond demanded to
know why Senator Johnston, who
has made much of the fact he
would not attend the jefferson
jackson Dinner in 1948 because Of
Truman's civil rights program and
because Negroes were to be at the
dinner. had attended the Jeffer-
son-Jackson Dinner in Washing
ton this year when more Negroes
were present.
Called "Wishy-Washy."
"He put $1,000 in the Truman
kitty by attending that dinner, +"
shouted Gov. Thurmond, ITO help
put through the civil rights pro-
gram"
Describing Senator Johnston as
"wishy- -washy" man who said
the rain had kept him away from
the polls in 1948. Gov. Thurmond
pointed out that Senator john
ston had voted to confirm Attor-
ney General McGrath, author of
an FEPC bill, who had gone be-
fore the Supreme Court to get its
recent decisions breaking down
segregation.
Senator Johnston, when his
turn came, told the audience:
Nov that you have heard q
little bit of what have had to
put up with for the last i've weeks.
! eat and let him rave. and final
ly I decided to hit back"
Senator Johnston denied vehem-
entity he was sympathetic with the
civil rights program, and de-
scribed how he had fought it in
the Senate.
MY opponent" said Senator
Johnston, said he had to sign
that commission for a Negro doc
tor to go on the hospital Advisory
Board. Olin Johnston would never
have signed 1t. I would have asked
for other recommendations from
the Medical Association, or I would
have put the commission in my
drawer and forgot about it. No
court can make a Governor sign
a commission.
Doesn't Want to Mix.
II have three children, and I
don't want any mixing of the
races. Senator Graham OF North
Carolina and my opponent are in
the same boat. Senator Graham
appointed a Negro to the Naval
Academy, and he appointed one
to the hospital Advisory Board" !"
I'm against ECA." he said.
I'm against sending aid to Social
ist nations like England and cotton
mills and trucks and other things
we need here in America. I'm for
building up strong military de-
fense and for the 70-group Air
Force. Truman, like my opponent,
is for the ECA."
Senator Johnston listed q long
line Of his accomplishments as
Governor before he went to the
Senate and twitted Gov. Thur
mond on having spent the surplus
which he left in the treasury.
Then, while his supporters
cheered. Senator Johnston read q
letter purported to have been
written to former Governor OF
the Virgin Islands. William H.

When Stanford Plays
California Tomorrow
BY the Associafed Press

BERKELEY, Calf, Nov. a.
Stanford's Indians come to Berke-
ley tomorrow 13l2-point under
dogs to unbeaten California. But
the weatherman holds a trump
card.
The Memorial Stadium turf,
scene of this SD meeting between
the traditional football rivals, has
resembled quagmire most of the
week.
Wednesday, when the rains
finally stopped. California officials
had a helicopter fly over the field
for hours. hoping its whirling
blades would help circulate the
air and dry out the field.
Under last Saturdays muddy
conditions, California was able to
get only a 1877 victory over Uni
versity of San Francisco. And
Stanford held Army to TO win.
A victory for Coach Pappy Wal
DORIS unbeaten Bears would as
sure them the Rose Bowl bid.
Stanford can't get to Pasadena,
win or lose, but shellacking Cali
fornia would make a big success
of their rather disappointing sea-
son.
The Indians, hailed as best In
the West in September, have lost
to UcLA, Army and Washington
and been tied by use. Their sup
porters say last week was the
turning point.
The injury problem appears
about licked. Even big Bruce Van
Alstyne, rugged end and line
hacker, may play, after weeks on
the bench.
He, Bill McColl, terrific pass
catcher and defensive left end, and
Line-Backer Russ Pomeroy will
have whale of a job stopping
California's fast, high scoring
backfield.
Mostly on the ground, Fullback
Johnny Olszewski and Halls Pete
Schabarum and Jim Monachino
have managed two touchdowns
against nearly every team that
has held Stanford to one.
And now Waldorf has a passer.
Jim Marines, who joined the
starting eleven in midseason.
Tewin, 1t appeared the Indians
would have to pass. The Bears
defense units have a phenomenal
record of stopping rushing plays.

peared clicking against Washing

won a split decision over Joe
Miceli of New York last night in
a title bout that lacked most
of the luster of their last meeting
when Miceli upset his Trenton
IN. j. opponent.
The 10-round bout in Mil
waukee's arena before 5,728 fans
saw Miceli and Williams fall far
below expectations. A slow fight
from the outset. the pair was
content to make it a clutching
and holding affair through the
first four rounds.
Williams, who weighed LAG
pounds, did most of the leading
but his punches either curled
around Miceli's body or went over
his shoulders. The New Yorker
weighed 14534.

meeting with the Hawkeyes.
The Hurricanes, 14th ranking

accumulated 1856 points to their
opponents 67-IoWa has met de-

Should Miami turn back the in
