Then he pledged himself to con-

considers the out-of- line goals Of

hoped and expected to carry, on
his fight for States Rights and
and constitutional government
within the Democratic Party but
limited that a party bolt is still
possible when he added:
But I think it only to say that
there are principles of constitu-

voters to do anything but run on

and limitations are being put on

Unless there is a swing back
to the normal American way of

Louisiana 10 Induct
kennon as Governor;
|0usied Long Regime
By the Assoeiated Pres.

BATON ROUGE, La, May TO-
Robert F. Kennon, the small town
appeal judge who toppled the po.
Ilitical kingdom of Gov. Earl Long
will take the oath as 51st gov
lernor of Louisiana Tuesday.
The tall judge from Northwest
Louisiana has parlayed an easy
manner and hearty handshakt
into combination that brought
him q host of followers.
Almost unheralded in the wars
between political names" during
the race for governor, Judge Ken
non fought to sell his sensible
pattern of government. He rode to
victory on a tide of independent
votes that had turned thumbs
down on "Longism."
Twice Beaten by Longs.
Judge Kennon twice was hum
bled in statewide politics by the
Long family. He finished thiro
when Gov. Long won in 1948. Later
that year, Longs nephew. Russell
Long, the late Huey Longs son
beat Judge Kennon by a slim
margin in a bid for the United
States Senate.
For this third attack, Judge
Kennon got help from another
quarter. Louisianians apparently
had wearied of Longs f1rebranc
politics and high-cost govern
!ment.
Rated fourth or fifth in an early
list of nine candidates, the judge
without the backing of a single
daily newspaper or machine
stormed into the runoff election
His te-catching demand fol
IAN end to wasteful spending
and concrete pledges to cut take:
led him to a landslide finish aheac
of Carlos Spaht, Gov. Longs
choice.
Maintained Costly Regime.
For the last four years, Ear
Long dominated government ant
legislature. He piloted q high-ta,
program of welfare, expanded
charity hospitals, road building
and free lunches for school chill
dren.
It made Louisiana the mos
heavily taxed State in the Natior
per capita.
Judge Kennon proposes to &C
complish his aims by creating con
stitutional boards to handle tn
big spending State agencies.
The judge has prepared we'll il
advance for the legislature which
convenes Monday. He sent ou
his administration bills ahead O
time for lawmakers to scan.
His program highlights call fol
a tWo-cent cut in the nine-cen
gasoline tax, jump in State in
come tax exemptions, tighter
budget controls, reshuf1ing tn,

remove them from the executive
influence.

Russe|I's Candidacy
Boosted by Support
OF Hill and Sparkman
By J. A. OLeoN

Senator RuSSell'S campaign for
the Democratic Presidential NOM
ination got a boost last night
when Senators Hill and Spark
man of Alabama came out for
him.
Alabama elected an unpledged
delegation last Tuesday to cast
the States % votes at the Demo-
cratic convention. Only a few
delegate candidates indicated a
preference for Senator Russell or
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee.
An Associated Press poll showed
that Senator Russell would have
a minimum of 6 votes, and Sena-
tor Kefauver at least from Ala
bama Senator Kefauver's friends
on the delegation are claiming
q majority.
Both are Delegates.
Observers here believe Sena-
tors Hill and Sparkman, having
come cut for Senator Russell, will
be able to swing a substantial part
of the delegation to the Georgian.
The two Alabama Senators will
be delegates.
Without any advance campaign
ing, Senator Russell got 263 votes
for President at the 1948 con-
vention. His supporters are say
ing he will have 800 or more on
the first ballot this year.
Senator Russell refused to join
In the Southern revolt over civil
rights. That fight took 80 cleo
toral votes, including Alabama's
IL. away from President Truman
in 1948. Only last week on the
eve of the Florida primary Sen
Htor Russell announced that he
would not bolt the Chicago con-
vention this year.
Helps Heal Rift.
Since President Truman an
nounced he will not run again
there has been little likelihood of
another third party movement in
the South this year. and the Hill
Sparkman statement was taken as
further evidence the Democrats
will avoid a split. Without Sen
ator Russell a third party would
have little chance of getting
started.
A part of the Alabama delega-
ton joined in the 1948 walk-out,
and during the past four years
Senators Hill and Sparkman have
worked constantly to restore
unity. Their efforts were success
full when the courts held recently
that Alabama could require can
didates for Presidential electors to
promise to support the party
ticket.
Senators Hill and Sparkman
said they have decided to back
Senator Russell because they be-
lieve he is best qualified to deal
with the world crises that con-
front the United States and hold
the social and economic gains that
have done so much to make our
country strong and to promote
the prosperity and welfare Of the
American people =" +t..
Russell Experience Cited.
They cited his experience as
chairman of the Armed Services
Committee and as chairman of
the subcommittee on Agricultural
appropriations. They gave him
credit for keeping alive the school
lunch program. and for pushing
rural electrification, adequate
housing. health and education
programs.
The two Alabama Senators
praised Senator Russell for re-
sisting the pressure to join the
States Rights revolt in 1948. They
reminded Democrats that they
owed much to Senator Russell.

NEW YORK, May 31-RailroaC
issues provided the only push in 9
timid stock market this week.
To those attempting to assess
the prospects Of q summer rally
in Wall street, the performance
. was encouraging. Many consider
1t good omen when the rails run
ahead Of the rest of the market
The momentum of the carriers
raised the price average of leading
issues to level equalling its high
for more than 81 years.
This occurred in a short four
day trading week characterized
mainly by caution inspired both
by the pending Supreme Court de-
cision on the disputed seizure Of
the steel industry and by the ex-
tended holiday week end.
Saturday ClosinEs Begin.
Trading was suspended for
Memorial Day and today the stock
exchange began its summer Satur-
day closings.
There were few short-term
traders who wanted to hold po-
sitions in stocks over such an ex-
tended period in a situation of
uncertainty over whether a steel
strike may follow the court de-
cision (now expected Monday
and whether international ten
sion may increase.
Thus, most sections of the stock
list houndered a bit.
Only on Monday could the mar
ket produce anything approaching
a general advance. Declines out
numbered advances on each of
the other three days of trading.
Whatever the significance of
the rise in rail stocks. there were
many ready with reasons for the
advance.
