Hog Show Cancelled;
All, FLA. Boys Sell
AT Top Prices

Although plans for the Garrett
County All and F. F. A. market
hog show were changed at the last
minute by a ruling Of the Mary
land Livestock Sanitary Service,
six county boys put their hogs on
the auction block Monday and re-
ceived near-top prices for their cf-
forts.
OF the six, William Emory, Bit
finger, took top price at $2l per 100
pounds. He produced the only ton
litter, having 10 Berkshircs
weighing total of 2,070 pounds
at months of age. Other par
Elephants included Fay Butler, l
hog; Donald Bowman, 2; Harvey
and Willy Bowser, 9, and Harold
Randall, l.
Because of the outbreak in
Maryland of vascular eXanthcma,
contagious swine disease, the
Sanitary Service ruled out all state
All and F. f. A. swine shows. Al
though there is no indication Of
the disease in Garrett County, a
special ruling was not justified and
the show consequently postponed.
According to F. D. Custer, vet
erinarian, the hogs could still be
sold for immediate slaughter.
Without a show the boys could
not normally qualify for prize
premiums, however efforts are
being made by the county extension
office to provide the premiums,
regularly given for hog show COM
petition, by the Maryland State
Fair Board. The premiums will
consist of ribbons and cash
awards.

Transit Strike Next Week
Approved if Wage Talks Fail

Capital Transit Co. employees
have voted to authorize a strike
next Monday if an agreement
cannot be reached on wages and
the company refuses to submit the
dispute to arbitration.
This development in the fast
moving and complicated transit
situation here came yesterday
after a meeting of the employees

Division $50, Amalgamated Asso-

the union and the company agree
now. that in the event we are un-
able to settle our differences by
June 80, all issues still in dispute
on that date be submitted to ar
bitration under the terms of the
present contract with Capital

He added: Union members
have authorized a strike only as a
last resort in the event that the
dispute remains unsettled and the

The union members authorized
the executive board to call strike

strike would not start automati-
cally at midnight Monday but
would have to be called. he added.
If the dispute goes to arbitra-

the decision Of the arbitrators.
There seems little likelihood that
the differences between Capital

So says r. K. Davis. wildlife spe-
cialist at Ohio State University.
He says that burning destroys Or
ganic matter-the life of soil. It
leaves the soil subject to erosion
and favors the growth of weeds
by destroying more desirable but
less hardy plants. 1t also reduces
pasture yields.
Spring burning destroys wildlife

Gen. EicheIberqer,
'Ex-MacArthur Aide,
Backs Eisenhower
BY the Assoeiaied Press

ASHEVILLE. N. c., June 23.-
1t. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger,
wartime Pacific commander and
one Of Gen. MacArthur's top aides
in occupied Japan, has come out
in favor Of Gen. Eisenhower for
President.
Announcing for Gen. Eisen-
hover in an interview at his home
here yesterday, the retired gen.
eral also had caustic criticism
for Gen. MacArthur's venture into
politics.
Gen. Macarthur, who will de-
liver the keynote address at the
Republican National Convention
next month is a supporter of
Senator Taft.
Gen. Eichelberger said Gen.
Macarthur had not always con-
sidered it tragic development"
to elect a military man President
as stated by the five-star gen.
eral in a recent speech.
In 1947. Gen. Eichelberger said,
Gen. Macarthur told him he
hoped Gen. Eisenhower would re-
move himself from the presiden-
tial picture and swing his sup
port to Gen. Macarthur in 1948.
Gen. Macarthur then, in turn,
would step aside for Gen. Eisen-
hover in 1852. ..
Gen. Eichelberger indicated that
Gen. MacArthur's change of heart
about the desirability of a military
man in the White House may have
been caused by Gen. Eisenhower

Taft Denies Control
Of Group That Will
Pass on Contests
.AP Wirephotos.
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taft today expressed
doubt that his followers will have
Ia majority on the vital Creden-
tials Committee of the Republican
National Convention.
The credentials group will rec
ommend the action to be taken
on the seating of contested dele
|gates-now one of the principal
issues between Senator Taft and
Gen. Eisenhower in their battle
for the G.. o. P. presidential NOM
Iination.
Each State delegation to the
Chicago convention names two
members of the credentials group.
While some of his hackers have
claimed Senator Taft will have a
majority of the votes in more
than half of the States, the Ohio
an said that doesn't mean the
committee will be stacked in his
favor.
There are all shades of politi-
cal opinion represented among the
credentials members who already
have been chosen" Senator Taft
said. II don't think anyone can
say that the committee will be
controlled"
Procedure Outlined.
Contests over delegations don't
get to the credentials group until
after the Republican National
Committee has ruled on them.
Then, the credentials members are
restricted by convention rules from
taking any new testimony. They
can only pass on evidence brought
before the national group.
A majority of National Commit
tee members are generally re-
garded as favoring the Taft candi-
dacy. This, plus the naming of
Taft supporters to key positions
in the nominating convention, has
led Eisenhower forces to charge a
"steamroller" Is being prepared
against them.
Gen. Eisenhower himself charged
further in a Saturday address at
Dallas, Tex. that the Taftites had
stolen Lone Star Star delegates
from his camp.
The general didn't name Senator
Taft but there was no question
he referred to the fight between
his supporters and the Senators
for the Texas delegations 38 votes.
I'm this case" Eisenhower said,
"the rustlers stole the Texas
birthright instead of Texas steers
Taft Forces Deny Charges.
Taft forces hit back in a state
ment yesterday denying there was
any delegate-stealing and likening
the protests from the Eisenhower
camp to prize fight managers
yelling I'VE wuz robbed"
The Eisenhower camp said II
will carry to the convention floor
a fight over the Texas delegation.
Senator Taft said over the
week end he believes some basis
of settlement can be reached in
the Texas dispute.
He insisted, however. that where
Democrats were in the majority OF
those who voted on the election
of delegates to the State G. o. P
convention. those delegates should
not have been seated.
The State convention chose a
pro-Taft delegation to Chicago
after refusing to seat many Eisen-
hover representatives. In a sepa-
rate convention, the Eisenhower
group picked its own contesting
slate.

Kefauver Hits Taft
And Eisenhower on
Texas Delegate Row
By The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.-
Senator Kefauver today pressed
his bid for the support of Indi-
ana's 80 delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
The Tennesseean flew in from
Chicago where last night, in a
change of pace from his folkSy-
style campaigning, he threw
whistling verbal haymakers at the
two principal candidates for the
Republican Senator
Taft and Gen. Eisenhower.
Senator Kefauver told a $25-a-
plate fund raising dinner group
that the aft-EiSnehower dispute
over Texas Republican delegates
: resembled a "bar-room slugfest"
that "besmirches American hon
Or"
Senator Kefauver. his wife
Nancy. and a group of advisers
landed here on the eve of party
caucauses which will pick % In
diana delegates. Eight more dele
gates-at-large, each with a half
vote. will be chosen at the State
convention tomorrow.
A Kefauver spokesman told
newsmen in Chicago last night
that Senator Kefauver will have
some support on the uninstructed
Hoosier delegation, but he didn't
know how much.
Stevenson Supporters.
Gov. Henry F. Schricker, who
has the United States senatorial
nomination in the bag and is ex-
pected to be a member of the ma
tional convention delegation, per-
haps it's chairman. is an open
advocate of Gov. Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois. The State COM
mittee has pledged to work for
Gov. Stevenson's nomination.
Politicians said there is some
doubt whether two anti-Schricker
leaders - National Democratic
Chairman Frank Mckinney and
Frank M. McHale. outgoing ma
tional committeeman - will be
members of the Indiana delega-
tion.
On his first campaign trip into
Indiana several weeks ago, Sen
ator Kefauver was told by Gov.
Schricker that Gov. Stevenson
had strong support among Hoosier
Democrats. Earlier, organization
leaders had given the cold shoulder
to AL Wheeler, chairman of the
Washington Kefauver- -Presi-
dent Club. when Mr.. Wheeler
visited Indiana.
Sums Up Republicans.
In his Chicago speech. Senator
Kefauver summed up the Repub-
lican candidates thus:
1.-THE Senator (Taft) takes fat
positions of typically Republican
reactionaryism. the General
(EiSenhower) has become a mas
ter of straight-from- the shoulder
generalities."
Concerning their campaign ri
valry, Senator Kefauver said:
Gen. Eisenhower accuses Sen
ator Taft Of having stolen his
Texas delegates. and otherwise
deliberately conspiring to rig the
Republican convention.
Such accusations between two
leading Republican candidates for
the highest Office in our country
beSmirches American honor. !
It cheapens and degrades the
Democratic process. I have no
doubt that it will be exploited by
Soviet propagandists."
