'Trumanism' 10 Stay
Il Stevenson Wins,
Byrnes Tells Rally
BY the Associated Pres,

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. o.
Gov. James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina says the eletion of Adlai
Stevenson as President would
mean a continuation of Truman
ism" in Washington.
Gov. Byrnes made his first
major speech hare last night in
support of Gen. Eisenhower. Gov.
|Byrnes has scheduled several other
speeches in Gen. Eisenhower's be-
half.
Speaking at a rally Of South
Carolinians for Eisenhower, Gov.
Byrnes said if Gov. Stevenson is
elected. "he will be under such OBJ
legations to Truman that he will
have to comply with Truman's
requests"
Sees Claim Of Mandate.
Gov. Byrnes, former Secretary
of State, War Mobilizer and mem
ber of the Supreme Court, said Mr..
Truman will call on Gov. Steven
son to continue his policies. "He
will claim that the people have
given mandate to continue Tru-
4manism."
Gov. Byrnes said Gen. E SEN
hover "can do more than any
other man to promote peace in
the world and restore confidence
in government"
1erming the Korean situation
one of the really important elec-
ton issues. the 72-year-old Gov :
Byrnes declared:
IF we can put an end to the
Korean war and the threat of
World War III, all other problems
will be relatively unimportant."
Chides Stevenson.
Gov. Byrnes, who introduced
Gen. Eisenhower when he spoke
in Columbia on September 80
chided Gov. Stevenson for not
campaigning in South Carolina.
II fear he does not think enough
of us to come, and ] fear the Tru-
man Democrats do not think
enough of Truman to invite him, -
he said.
Gov. Byrnes denied that he and
Gen. Eisenhower discussed the civil
rights question during the gen.
erals visit to South Carolina. He
said a suggestion by Mr.. Truman
in the Presidents recent Harlem
speech that he and Gen. Eisen-
hover had talked civil rights lis
absolutely untrue"

The Professor pointed out that because of

Some years ago the writer, while serv-
ing on a certain committee appointed to
investigate the possibilities of having
Schencks Branch covered where it passed
through the Negro area, asked a certain
city official to take action towards having
this blight erased. The official who, in
cidentally, has long since left the city, was
most sympathetic, but observed that he be-
beved the odors emanating from the branch
afforded great disinfecting powers and thus
actually enhanced the health Of the dwell
lers affected, rather than jeopardizing it.
1T that time the City's Gas Plant, through
which the branch passed, was contami-
mating it through it's gas processing activi-

features gas, Schencks Branch has doubt
less lost it's long-standing "disinfecting

and cranes blocked streets
while skilled workmen ma
neuvered the loading of hea-
w printing presses and limo
type machines. The work
was done without the slight
est incident.
AS Rev. F. E. Alexander.
editor and publisher of The
Tribune, and his faith work
ers labored to organize their
new place of business, great
crowds of we'll wishers and
spectators stood around as
founded.

long as had been anticipated

ed that no break in the regu-
lar publication of The Tri-
