'Dirtiest Lie Ever
BY the Assoeioted Press

LAS VEGAS, New, Oct. 15.-Ac-
cused by Senator Joe Mccarthy,
Republican, Of Wisconsin of being
IAN admitted ex-Communist," a
local publisher printed on the
front page of his paper today an
affidavit swearing he is not and
never has been a Communist.
The accusation was made Mon
day night as Senator Mccarthy
addressed Republican rally here.
The publisher. Hank Greenspun,
also Republican, was in the au-
dience. He publishes the Las
Vegas Sun.
Describing the Senator's remark
as "the dirtiest lie Mccarthy ever
told" Mr.. Greenspun said he is
offering $1,000 to any one who can
disprove one word of the affidavit,
which also says he never consorted
with Communists or fellow trav-
elers.

spun was IAN admitted ex-Com-
Imunist" and called him a violator
lof the Articles of War and an in

Later it was reported that
Senator Mccarthy denied calling
Greenspun IAN admitted ex-
Communist"
AS for Senator McCarthy's
other charge that Mr.. Greenspun
was an indicted smuggler. the
publisher was fined $4,000 in
1850 in Federal Court after plead
ing guilty to violating the Neu-
trality Act by smuggling arms to
Israeli forces in their fight against
the Arabs.
Regarding the accusation that
he violated the Articles of War,
Mr.. Greenspun said he and an
entire ward were fined $25 each
for overstaying a hospital leave
by two hours on New Years Eve,

|pital, recovering from war wounds.

If Gen. Eisenhower is elected, and
the country does well the next few

At about 9 o'clock on the same
morning, Sergt. Hardesty testified,
he again examined the death car.
At this time, he realized the i'm
portance of the pebble under the
throttle and reported to his su-
periors.
The two police officers identified
the stone, which later was re-
moved from the accelerator by
Capt. Cyril P. Baumiller. Capt.

have been the result of the crash
in which the death Car overturned
on its side. He said the pipe was
compatible" with the wounds, but
the automobile contained no pro-
jections in front of the drivers
seat which conceivably might have
killed the woman.
Testimony Centers on Stone.
Much testimony centered about
a stone about 11a inches by "
inch, said to have been wedged
under the heel of the cars foot
throttle. The stone. in the posi-
ton described by witnesses,
could have fed gas to the car to
produce a high rate of speed.
The prosecutor said Grammel
made $500 a month and expenses
for entertaining company clients
but apparently was in financial
difficulties in recent months.
Mrs. Grammer'S father died last
May and she returned to Balti-

Grammer, who served as q
counter-intelligence sergeant in
the Army in the Pacific during
the last war, met Miss Mizibrocky
last November at q bowling alley
in New York.
The prosecutor added that the
couple had luncheon engagements
and followed these with cocktail
and dinner dates.
This friendship later blossomed
into a very serious love affair."
Mr.. Sodaro continued.

big labor vote, and that it has
large Negro population and a con-
siderable number of Negro voters.
Great Bulk for Stevenson.
While Gen. Eisenhower is max
ing a dent in both these groups,
Gov. Stevenson seems sure to have
the great bulk of their votes. Also,
Eisenhower sentiment appears
particularly strong in the big
cities. It has been generally be-
lieved Gov. Stevenson would get
the support of the farmers and
the people Of the smaller towns.
The advantage which Gen. Eli
genhower has in Texas over any
other presidential candidate the
Republicans might have put up
is that he is regarded as a national
f1gure-rather than as a Repub-
lican. Further, he was born in
Texas.
It has been evident all along
there are not enough votes-Re-
publican and independent COM
bined-in Texas to put Gen.
Eisenhower over. To win. he
must have a great many Demo-
cratic votes. Gov. Shivers and
the attorney general, Price Daniel.
who is assured election to the
Senate in Tom Connally's place,
are setting the pace for Demo-
cratic support for Gen. Eisen-
hover.
Mr.. Daniel introduced the gen.
eral at the Houston meeting and
declared he intended to vote for
him. Gov. ShiverS had made such
an announcement long ago. Also
the Texas State convention in
structed the Governor and the
whole Democratic organization to
support Gen. Eisenhower when it
met last summer. Clearly. there
is no longer any stigma attached
to voting for the Republican
candidate this year.
Political Fate Seen at Stake.
In some quarters. it is suggest
ed that both Gov. Shivers and
Mr.. Daniel have taken their po-
litical lives in their hands. Even
should Gen. Eisenhower become
President and with the aid of the
Texas vote, doubt is expressed that
either Gov. Shivers or Mr.. Daniel
will be able to survive as political
leaders. For example, some South
ern Democrats who supported Mr..
Hoover in 194S vanished from

work at 1t to get it free.
Capt. Baumiller, however, ad-
mitted, under questioning by De-
fense Counsel Anthony FREDERICK,
that he had expressed the opinion
that the stone could have been
kicked into place by accident.
All three police officers said
they found stones of the same type
under the seat of the wrecked car
Capt. Baumiller said he asked
Grammer about this, and the lat
ter replied that rocks of a similar
nature were in the driveway of
the home of his wife's parents.
Sergt. B. F. Long identified an
18-inch length of pipe as one he
had found under a tree near the
Maryland School for the Blind.
He said he had no reason for pick
ing up the pipe, except that it
had a brown stain" on the end.
Witness Hears Scream.
The prosecutor previously had
said that a witness, a woman en-
|ploye of the school, had heard a
terrifying shrek on the night of
Mrs. Grammer's death.
Shortly later, it was said, the
witness heard two slight toots on
an automobile horn and then
heard a car drive away at a high
rate of speed.
Defense counsel brought out
that plumbers had used a large
amount Of pipe near the place
where the short length was found.
The impression was that the con-
struction workers had scattered
plumbing leftovers In the vicinity.
No testimony was offered as to
the chemical composition of the
brown stain seen on the pipe.

would make her his bride.
This account of Miss Mizi-
brocky's romance with Grammer
was released yesterday by States
Attorney Sodaro in describing
what he expects to prove with
prosecution witnesses. Those sum-
moned by the defense include q
reporter for a New York tabloid
and two employees of the New
York mining company where
Grammer was employed as Office
manager.
The States theory of the crime.
as outlined by Mr.. Sodaro, is that
Grammer killed his wife and
placed her in the family automo-
bile. propped the foot throttle
open with a pebble and sent her
careening down a hill in an effort
to make it appear that death re-
suited from an automobile acci-
dent.
Sergt. Holmes today testified
that he took a lengthy statement
from the defendant on the day
Mrs. Grammer's body was found.
Sergt. Holmes said Grammer
went into detail Of how he kissed
his wife goodby at the Penn
Sylvania railroad station here,
caught a train for New York and
spent the early morning hours
doing on sofa in his apart
ment in the Bronx. Grammer
was quoted as saying that he paid
an early morning visit to his
office in downtown New York to
leave some papers for his Sec
retary.
Talked to Electrician.
He wasn't sure If the elevator
operators would remember having
taken him to the 29th floor of the
office building in which his firm
is located. Grammer said he did
recall talking to an electrician
who was a passenger on the ele-
vator and kidded him about the
quality Of work he had done in his
Office.
Grammer said he left the Office
before the force reported for work
and returned to his apartment.
He explained that his wife and
their three children were staying

Party Needs Funds

President Truman today got
cheering reports on the results
of his coast-to-coast drive for the
StevenSon-Sparkman ticket-but
a dim picture of Democratic A.
nances as he prepared to leave
tonight for three-day swing into
New England and New York.

the President and said he told
him that he (Mr. Truman) had

Later Stephen A. Mitchell, Dem
cratic National chairman. told the
President his trip had been
enormously helpful" to the ticket
and he added that he only wished
"other members of the party
would get out and work as hard
and effectively"
Mr.. Mitchell talked party f1nan-
ces with the President and told
him that as Of now receipts are
way below commitments"

Mitchell told reporters.
The President talked over f.
nances with party leaders late
yesterday.
Texas q Problem.
Mr.. Mitchell said he was not
prepared to give an audit" OF
campaign funds but that money
is needed. The chairman pointed
out in passing that big contribu-
tions are missing from such big
States as Texas, where the EiSen-
hover movement is running
strong. In this connection he
spoke critically of an announce
ment by Price Daniel, Texas at
torney general and senatorial
nominee of the Democrats, that
he would support G. o. P. Candi-
date Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Mitchell said that's the
sort of thing that hurts u.s." He
remarked rather graphically that
when Democratic Senators come
to Washington they have to deal
with. the National Committee.
Does that mean you are say
ing that he will be cut off from
patronage?" he was asked. Mr..
Mitchell responded that he was
not saying anything of the sort.
Mr.. Truman's five-State drive

Military Construction
BY the Associoied Press

Senator Long. Democrat. of
Louisiana said today he would
like to hold the Defense Depart
ment request for military con-
struction to about half of the
SO billion sought.
/ The proposed program includes
installations for the Army, Navy

The House Armed Services Com
mittee approved the program
yesterday after trimming it to
about $2.7 billions.
Senator Long, chairman of a
special Senate Armed Services
subcommittee now delving into
the program, said his investiga-
lions lead him to believe much
of the proposed work could be
postponed without harming the
military establishment.
The total approved by the
Armed Services Committee is
about $269 million less than
President Truman requested.

Key defense officials expressed
grave concern today over the
prospect of getting enough steel
even under a labor management

Nations critical military needs.
Secretary of Defense Lovett
told newsmen the proposed pro-

MI. Lovett said the first step
was taken earlier in the day to
divert as many defense orders as
possible to plants not involved in
the Nationwide strike by 650,000
steelworkers.
Mr.. Lovett said the non-struck
mills provide only per cent of
the national steel production and
that obviously they could not
maintain the full military pro-
gram for which billions of dollars
have been ear-marked.
Mr.. Steelman told reporters:

critical items can be secured, but

gested Thy labor and manage

support the total balanced mill

Mr.. Steelman said the union
